Why does my iphone 4s run out of battery so quick?

Why does my iphone 4s run out of battery so quick?

What do you mean by 'quick'? If you mean a few hours then I think it is normal (it's normal for me: 4+ hours for me depending on what I use it for). If you play apps with really good graphics it will make the battery go quicker. If you don't use it for much, then the battery might have gone out-of-sync with the battery percentage it thinks it has (I am not sure if this happens with apple devices though)

  • My iphone 4s runs out of battery too quickly!

    My battery only last about 2 hours, when before I could use my iphone for the whole day. I frequently delete background apps, have my brightness to as low as it can be, and I have turned off basically everything to save battery!

  • Why does the iPad 2 run out of memory

    Why does the iPad 2 run out of memory?

    First ...read deggie's response. Makes sense - even a computer running a large amount of RAM can run short on memory depending upon the operation you are performing so sometimes you have to do what is available to "clear" the memory.
    You can ...close apps and restart the iPad on occasion. You close apps by double tapping the home button to bring up your recent apps in the multitasking tray. Tap and hold down on any of the icons until they all begin to wiggle. Then tap the minus signs in the corner of the apps to close them. Close all of your apps in that area. Also take note of how many apps are down there. That may have something to do with why the iPad is running out of memory. Tap the home button twice to return to the home screen. Then restart your iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. To power up, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If you do this once in a while, it may make a difference in how your iPad performs. In any event, it will not hurt anything.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery gets to 80%?  have installed new battery and nothing changes?

    Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery shows 80%.  a couple of months ago is shut down at 60% but has continually gotten worse.  this was before 5.0.  i took it to a repair man and he tried a used battery, a new battery, and the original battery.  nothing helped.  5.01 didnt help either.  What is my problem?

    Fully discharge the battery (till it shuts down and won't turn on) and then fully recharge it (100%).  This will recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

  • My iphone 4s gets hot and runs out of battery very quickly

    My iphone 4s gets hot and runs out of battery very quickly

    you should avoid keeping it in extreme temperatures, use it as little as possible, and avoid overcharging which means that you should unplug your iphone as soon as it hits 100% battery

  • Nokia x6 runs out of battery too quickly, maybe bc...

    Hello,
    My nokia x6 runs out of battery in 5/6 hours without being in use.
    This began to happen one day, when I was listening to music in the music player and the screen froze and didn't respond. I tried everything, but the only thing that worked out was removing the battery.
    Since then, when I try to access the music player, the screen goes black and doesn't show anything I press the red button to hide the application. It shows me the menu and says that music player is hidden. When I try to close it, nothing happens.
    5/6 hours after I charged the battery, it runs down and when I turn it on again, there's no sign of the music player being hidden, but when I try to open it, it does what I've mentioned before.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you very much.

    before the hard reset you should make a backup using ovi suite. the hard reset will only delete the contents of the phone C: memory.
    make sure the device is switched off.
    now press and hold the green (answer) key + the red key and the camera button. while holding those buttons switch on the device, don't release the buttons until you see the "country selector" list. if you don't see that, do it again.

  • Why does my Hard Drive run out of Space?

    So, my Mac's HDD keeps running out of space. Here's the Specs
    OS X Lion (10.7.5)
    2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB Memory (2x 4GB PC3-8500)
    60GB HDD
    Okay, so i know its a 60GB HDD, but this thing is used for only internet surfing and General OS functions. 28GB of the 60GB is used via installed OS X, Apps, and Music. 32GB is available on start-up, but the HDD hit 0MB available after a while and the Mac's Virtual Memory caps out and I must force quit an application to continue, but Google Chrome is the only App open other than finder.
    I am Computer Savy, but UNIX systems aren't my strong points. I don't know why this OS needs 32GB of VM nor why it doesn't pre-allocate it like Windows does. Is there away to Pre-Allocate Pagefile and restrict it to 12GB? I hate having to restart my computer in the middle of a task just to use it. Thank You in Advance.

    Ah, so I ran that and came back with the following. The two bolded items were part of my VM machines.

    (It should be 55433475 instead of 54446025)
    The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
    I'm guessing that I should be okay when it repairs these?

  • I left the battery of my iphone 4 run out of battery and know it does not recharge

    yesterday i forgot to recharge my iphone4 when it was nearly out of battery so when i wanted to use it today it was already dead
    so i put the phone on recharge but it looks like it does not recharge and i cannot even turn it on.
    can anyone please inform me of what the problem is and what should i do.

    It takes up to 15-20 minutes of recharging after auto-shutoff for the phone to restart.
    1. Charge with AC adaptor for 1 hour.
    2. If phone has not restarted, reset iPhone (no data loss):  Press both home and power buttons for up to 30 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears
    If no signs of life after a reset, there is a hardware failure that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

  • Why does my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.4 turn off when it has 30 percent of battery,the percentage sometimes varies it can be 50%.Please help its annoying

    I don't understand why it does this it turns off when it has above 20% of battery, I need to find out what's wrong because it's becoming really frustrating, please help. Does anyone else's do this?
    Thanks

    Hello Calduffy,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone4.  I would be concerned too if my iPhone was unexpectedly powering off.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • Why does the iPhone randomly exit out of apps??

    Hello what should I do about my iPhone 4S randomly exiting out of apps? I've held the top and middle buttons at the same time many of times and its not helping! It's still occurring! Help!!!

    An app randomly exiting means that the app has "crashed".  You might have a bad app (try deleting it form your device and re-downloading it).  It might be an app bug which you just happen to be encountering.  It could also be a problem with your iPhone.  You could do a "restore as new" and re-instsall the apps and see if they have the same issues or not.  It they don't, then it was either a bad download, or corruption in your "profile".

  • Why does my Iphone turn off with 20% battery power left

    Hi
    I got my iphone as a gift and so i don't have receit.
    I'm wondering why my Iphone would turn power off with 20% power left.
    I have other apple products  (Ipod 3 and and Ipad 2 ) and i don't find the same issue with my other products.
    Just my Iphone is giving me tha trouble. sometimes i even see i have 40% battery life left and it shut off.
    so i don't know if the % display show up wrongly.
    what would you suggest.

    Charge it all the way up, then let it run all the way down until it shuts off. Repeat this cycle to recalibrate your battery meter.

  • My iPhone 4S runs out of battery power very quickly.  I have disabled all functions (ie location services, push notifications etc etc) that actively use power.  However, even when in standby mode for most of the day, I'm lucky to get 12 hours out of it.

    I read in the press this might be a design fault.  Does anyone know how I can resolve this?

    There is a huge thread discussing this problem: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16542550. There is a lot of discussion around locations services and the notification centre however many users are experiencing different levels of battery drain and there is no definitive fix at present.  You may want to try some of the 'fix' suggestion in those posts and that may help but I would urge to keep an eye on the thread as that is where the majority of the community is focussing and discussing the issue.  Also take a look at this recent article:http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/oct/28/iphone-4s-battery-apple-enginee rs.
    I know it's little consolation but there many people experiencing the same problem.
