Why does my phone loose the charge so quickly?

My phone discharges very quickly. I turned off location services (except Find my phone) and notifications (except phone alerts, message alert, reminders & calendars). I even put it on 4G instead of LTE. Does anyone have any suggestions? Help! Leslie

Using the device uses power.
Define quickly?
Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

Why does my iPad loose the connection to VPN in Stand-By?

Hey!
I got a problem with VPN and iOS (on iPad 2). When I connect to a VPN-Server (I tried it with different protocols exept the 'Cisco IPsec'-stuff) and the iPad goes into Stand-By, the iPad looses the connection and I manually have to reactivate it in the menu. I am very sure that this is not a problem of the server (tried also different services). Can I fix the bug myself or do I have to wait for an update?

Sorry, that's Adobe, not Adoby.

Why Does Apple Keep Changing the Charging Protocols?

I bought an iPhone 3G yesterday, and after having a 1st-Gen iPhone for about 5 months, I'd have to say I'm not altogether impressed with the new one. Non-recessed headphone jack, check; faster downloads over 3G, check. The rest of it.. I dunno.
The most irksome detail I've encountered so far is that something has changed in the -- what is it called, the docking mechanism at the bottom of the phone that connects to the dock -- that makes all my previous docks (and I have quite a few around the house) obsolete. Worse, this iPhone will not charge from the adapter I have in my car, the Dension ICE>Link which originally integrated all my iPod controls directly into my car stereo.
When I got my first iPhone back in February, the first thing I noticed was that when I plugged it into an older "universal dock," I'd get an error message, "this accessory is not made to work with iPhone." I managed to work around it. I bought a new dock that is compatible, and I discovered that so long as I was using the iPhone as an iPod in my car, it would charge that way. So I wasn't losing battery charge if I listened to my iPhone/Pod in the car. That was good enough.
Now, with 3G, first, I discover that the Universal dock that I purchased with the old iPhone generates the same stupid 'will not work with iPhone' message that the OLD iPhone generated with an older dock. So this iPhone 3G does not work with a dock that I purchased for the original iPhone, which did not work with the dock I had purchased for my iPods. Sheesh.
But, again, it gets worse: now, when I slip the 3G unit into the cradle/adapter in my car, it will not charge ever, not even when I'm using the iPhone 3G as an iPod. The audio connects, I can still use the iPhone as an iPod and listen to it and control it through the car stereo, but I'm draining the battery when I do.
So, from iPod, to iPhone, to iPhone 3G, it appears to me that Apple has changed something in the protocols for each new generation so that all the docks and accessories from the previous generation are no longer viable. Why are they doing that? What is the UPSIDE of this very obvious and irritating downside, other than the upside for Apple that gets to sell me ever more accessories.
Are other iPhone 3G users encountering irritations like this? What sort of work around are there? Anything?
The GPS and the faster data speeds of 3G are nice features, it's also nice to have a flush headphone mount (I can use this one with a bluetooth stereo headset transmitter). But there are other ways that this unit is just not integrating into the way want to use it, and I may be very tempted to go back to the original iPhone.
Anybody want to chime in with their experience?
Thanks,
--PS

There are two messages you might see. The one you allude to, "will not work with iPhone" is merely a warning that the accessory is not shielded against the electronic emissions of the iPhone, i.e. you may get a little static on the audio. You can ignore that error and use the accessory. The other error is a "will not charge" and that's because the iPhone 3G no longer draws power from the FireWire pins in the dock connector. Apple has been phasing out FW support - the ability to sync via FW was dropeed a couple of years ago. 3rd party manufacturers have known about this for some time, but seemingly chose to maximize profit by not changing their design (especially for car chargers, since the power input is 12 V, which FW can handle, but for USB the voltage must be stepped down to 5 V). There are dongles available to drop the voltage and move the power to the correct pins.

Why does my phone overheat when charging

When i connected to a original charger for charging my Xperia Z1 overheat it will post a screenshot "the connected power source not sufficient. The battery draining faster then it is charging."

Boot the device in safe mode and charge it like that:

Why does my phone chirp while charging?

Recently, my Iphone 4 has started chirping when I plug it in to charge (after the battery has died). I've switched cords and chargers, I've tried plugging it into my computer. It doesn't seem to be takig a charge and it WONT quit chirping!
HELP!

I can't see any bent pins, lint, or debris. I used a soft toothbrush and a hairdryer on cool setting, because I don't have any canned air (or a magnifying glass, unfortunately). This happened once last week... and then it just spontaneously started working again. I'll collect the correct tools and try again. I appreciate your advice.

IPone 6, iOs 8.1.2 when removing the phone from the charging does not reflect the increase in the percent charge level , by reconnecting displays correctly

Why does my phone direct me to the william hill app when browsing safari?

why does my phone direct me to the william hill app when browsing safari?

It's an advert from a (dodgy) website. Some advertisers use these rather unscrupulous ads.
All you can do to avoid such obtrusive advertising is to stop using the websites that do it. Maybe then they'll learn not to be so blatant.

Why does my phone constantly turn off on its own as if the battery is dead?

why does my phone constantly turn off on its own as if the battery is dead? Its so annoying! Every day once my battery life span is at about 40%, my phone will start shutting down with the dead battery sign once it is down. Then after about 3 minutes i can turn it back on.

Tons of people have this problem with iPhone 4S and 5, whether they are on iOS 6 or 7. You can only hope that one day Apple realizes that this bug (software ? hardware ?) is a *real* pain. So far, they haven't paid attention.

Does the one year warranty that comes with my phone cover the charging cord ?

I have an iphone 4S and the charging cord that came with the phone has stopped working. I was wondering if the one year warranty that i have for my phone covers the charging cord ?

if the cable is damaged you will need any way another one, so call Apple and ask for replacement and in case they recieve the Cable and they find out that it's covered they will bill you and then you will see that the deposit is less expensive then to buy new Cable

Why does my phone get hot at time's?

It doesn't happen every day, put there are times my phone gets hot even when I'm not using it then the battery drains fast and I have to charge it again. It's not the battery area that gets hot.

There is no damage to my phone. This is the second Samsung Galaxy S5 that I have received. The first one did the same thing, then went dead.  I only charge my phone at night when I go to bed and unplug it in the morning. When it does get hot, for some unknown reason, I have to charge it again during the day just to have cell phone access. It doesn't happen on a daily basis. It's just concerning as to why the Samsung Galaxy S5 is doing this.  Teffanie M Stark

Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected?

Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected? This has been happening since IOS7 was installed and has become worse with 7.1. I have reset the phone several times with no change.The phone charges properly & I have never used anything but an Apple Lightning cable.

I already cleaned the port with compressed air before submitting the problem. I since cleaned it with a toothpick and dug out some more lint. this seems to have just about fixed the problem since I have only had the error pop up 3 times since then and i was getting the error constantly before.

Why does my phone die unexpectedly

Why does my phone die unexpectedly?
Phone is 2 years old.
It stops working several times a day by just going black.
It does not cycle off like it does when the battery goes dead or when I turn it off.
Just goes black in the middle of what I'm doing.
When I try to charge it, nothing happens for 20 minutes, then the screen sorta backlights (light blue).
Then it will work again after 2 hours of charging.
Then after using it normally for an hour or so, it dies again.
Everything is updated and backed up.
I have tried restarting it.
Any thoughts?
Gina

If I had to guess, it's either a heat related problem or the battery is failing completely.
I'd say it's time to consider an upgrade as it will probably be less expensive than a repair.
