Why does the iphone5 battery drain so quickly

My iPhone 5 is great; unfortunately the batter drains in no time.  I end up recharging it twice to 3 times a day.  I wish I had kept my iPhone4.

I would try these things
1. Go to settings/general/reset and tap reset all settings
2. Run the battery completely flat then charge for at least 2 hours.
3. In settings/iCloud swipe the safari slider to OFF
4. Look at Notifications for apps and turn off those you do not really need.
5. Choose a shorter Auto lock interval
6. Fetch emails less frequently

  • Why does the Apple mouse drain so quickly?

    I'm not sure if this question is in the right place. I bought a iMac back in January and I've been changing the batteries like every few weeks. My question is why does the mouse drain so quickly?
    The batteries in the keyboard have been in there since I got the computer. I think I should buy a wired mouse and just plug it into the back of the iMac. I'm getting sick and tired of having to change the batteries so often.

    Hello:
    Battery drain is a function of how much the device is used (no surprise to you).  I find that my mouse batteries last less - probably because I type so slowly, I use the mouse for anything I can.
    Let me give you a suggestion based on my own experience.
    I use rechargeable batteries and a 15 minute battery charger.  I currently have a drawer full of Energizer 2450 mAh rechargeable batteries and an Energizer 15 minute charger (works for AA and AAA batteries).  Rechargeables last less time than Lithium batteries - I think the reason is different voltages (1.2 vs 1.5).  I obtained all of the batteries and the charger - new - on eBay at a very reasonable price.
    By using rechargeables, you are never without a fresh battery more than 15 minutes, and you are environmentally friendly to boot!

  • Why does the ink dry out so quickly in the 564 cartridges?

    I have a 7510 all in one. I just replaced the ink about a month ago. I pinted less than a dozen 4 x 6 pictures. I didn't print again till today - approximately a month. The ink is dry and I had to replace the magenta, blue, yellow and photo cartridges. When it works it works great. This is very disappointing. Our last color printer was an HP and it worked great till we replaced it. Is this a known problem and is there a solution?

    Hi,
    Please check the following information:
       http://www.hp.com/pageyield/au/en/PSC5300/index.html
    We normally can only get up to around 80% to 85% of those numbers or say 170 pages. Roughly 4 x 6 = 1/4 A4 sheet that measn we can print 170 x 4 = 680 pages 5% coverage or 34 to 50 of 4 x 6 with 100% coverage.
    Regards.

  • My battery drains really quickly after upgrading to OS X Yosemite

    I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite.   After doing so, my battery drains VERY quickly.  About 1 percent per minute.   Is there any fix for this?   Can I roll back my OS?  

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Why does my battery drain so quickly on iPhone 5s?

    Has anyone else found his/her battery draining more quickly than normal. I can begin the day at 100% and within an hour be down to 70% or even less. Is it the iOS 7.1.1 update? The data and wi-fi settings are on, which is the same setup as I had before on the iPhone 5, which ran on iOS 6. That battery lasted as advertised. Anyone with similar problems? Solutions?

  • Why does the e-mail app drain my battery?

    I have a itouch 4. i have reset it a few times. i have rebooted it a few times. I have turned off the battery-draining apps. Despite all of this -- the itouch battery drains in minutes when I use e-mail.
    Regards
    David

    Well Mail drains your battery if you have 'Push' turned on. Push basically contacts your server in the background to check if you have a new e-mail and so it drains out your battery. You can turn it off and select Fetch manually.

  • Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?

    Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?

    1. Check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
    2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.9 or later.
    3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
    4. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
    5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Why is my battery drained so quickly on my 4S?

    Why is my battery drained so quickly on my 4S, even though I don't use apps/Internet excessively.  It says it should last 6 hours using the Internet.

    I had my iPhone use 20% of power an hour before I did the following.
    1.) Turn off iAds and diagnostics in location settings:system settings.
    2.) Turn off Calender in Notifications
    3.) If you have any exchange mail accounts ( I had 3 Gooogle accounts one set for mail and calendar, 2 set for mail only. remember when setting Google server m.google.com or it won't push to the phone.) delete them REBOOT your iPhone then redo them then Reboot one more time.
    Result: iPhone batt usage is now 4% an hour. my phone went for 19 hours with moderate (streaming, surfing, recording and viewing movies on camera app) on wifi use before getting to 5%

  • Why does the light on my battery charger change from green to orange after a few seconds?

    Why does the light on my battery charger cable change from green to orange?  The battery continues to accept a charge when light turns orange.

    Green = not charging.
    Orange = charging.
    Note that if your laptop is pulling enough power (using CPU and GPU heavily) the light will turn green because the power adapter cannot provide enough power to charge your batteries in addition to keeping the system going.
    In fact, you can drain your batteries even with the adapter plugged in with the 17 inch Macbook Pro if you push it hard enough, although I have not noticed this problem with my Retina Macbook Pro.

    Why iPad mini battery drain so quickly in sleep mode? about 35% in 7 days sleep mode (100% to 65%). Compare with my iPad 2, 7 days in sleep mode, only 2%! (100 - 98%). is it because differences in iOS? iPad mini iOS 6.0.1, iPad 2 iOS 4.3.3. I'm really frustating because of this. thanks for help

    What kind of ipad mini / ipad 2 you got?
    AFAIK,
    1. ipads drain battery with 3g/4g on (regardless on wifi or not) 1% overnight.. so for 7 days .. 65 is about correct.
    2. Are your ipads setup to receive remote push notification? (more push = more battery drain.. as the screen lit up)
    3. With iOS 6 vs iOS 4 .. there are more stuff running in the background and more toggles.. that could also contribute to battery drain.

  • HT1476 why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???

    why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???
    and why is clock not available on ipad????

    Because that is a decision the Apple made.  You can get the battery percentage (within 5%)  by using a free app such as BatteryLife Lite, but it will not show the percentage on the top of your screen.
