Why is my ipod touch battery drain out so fast

My ipod touch is 4g 8gb and I had it for two years, it is also ios 6.1.6 . I bought my ipod in 2013 and it was working great, but later on in the second year it wasn't. Every time it was fully charge and I take it out of the charger in one second or five sec the battery level would move very fast and then shut down and say it is low in battery. I can't use my ipod without plugging it in my charger or else it would shut down in like 5 sec when I am on it. I always close open apps and I tried resetting my ipod settings but nothing work. I don't know if it was the soft ware update to ios 6.1.6 that caused the battery to drain out so fast, but I don't know what is causing this problem.

Why is my iPod Touch batter draining away so fast?

I got my iPod Touch at GameStop (Refurbished) and my battery on that iPod is draining away faster than usual. I'm using my school Wi-Fi and my battery is going fast. I charge my iPod almost every ten maybe twelve hours. Should I get the battery replaced??? Plus I want to Reset (restore) the whole iPod on my computer but I got a virus on my computer and all my music, movies, and apps are all gone. Also whenever I charge my iPod, the whole iPod feels like its gonna overheat and wants to shutdown completely. (I try alot to charge my battery only at night and at low temp.)

- Could be the battery. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to verify.

Hello there, Pakinam.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for troubleshooting your issue:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2771
Particularly:
Battery does not appear to charge
Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire-based power source.
Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
Try another USB port.
Try charging from a USB charger if available.
If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.
Learn more about charging the battery.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

IPod Touch battery draining too fast?

Recently, the battery life on my iPod touch has been draining too fast. Before I synced my iPod into my new laptop with a new iTunes, my battery life was very long, as I could go on for weeks before it was below 20%. Now, I can go from 100% down to 10% in under a minute.
Even if I charge overnight or have 100%, any time my iPod is unlocked, the battery drains fast. I've done several methods to try and solve the problem, such as deleting apps, lowering brightness, turn off background apps, and even bought the battery life app (which I've had before but it seems to do nothing now). Whether I use the camera, play a game, or surf the internet, the battery bar will go down really fast. Sometimes I'll have half of battery life left and all of a sudden, my iPod turns off because it instantly went frm 50% to 0%. Even harmless actions such as the clock or just staying on the home screen will drain more battery than it usually does. The music app seems to be the only one that can last longer than an hour, but even then, just leaving it in the background will deplete the battery faster than usual, as opposed to it being in the background for hours and not taking away any percentage.
My iPod still recharges normally (and quickly), and for some reason if I lock my iPod while it has a low percentage, when I unlock it again, a lot of battery is regained... and then lost almost immediately.
I'm not sure if this has to do anything with me syncing to a new iTunes. I'm still under the same username and whatnot, and all I did was use home sharing to import all of my music from the old computer to the new one, so I wouldn't have to constantly go to my old computer to sync with my iPod.
I currently use a 4th generation iPod touch with 8GB.
I'm just wondering, what can I do to solve this issue, to return it to how it was before? As of now, I can't afford to replace the iPod, and I'm willing to send my iPod for repair as a last resort.
Thanks.

However, I suspect that your battery is just dying/wearingout. That happens with age and use.

IPod Touch Battery Draining.

So I got an iPod Touch in March I believe and I loved it.
Recently however I have started having a problem. It seems that the battery is draining at an accelerated rate even when it is in sleep mode. For example when I go to bed at night the battery will be completely full and charged and when I wake up in the morning it will be completely drained. I don't leave it plugged in at night or on or anything.
I was wondering what the cause for this might be and how I could fix it.
Thank you.

If you have installed the new operating system iOS4 then read through these posts:

If not then an appointment and visit to your local Apple store is warranted.

IPod touch battery drain?

I've had my iPod touch (5g) since November, and I only charge it about once a day, but lately, it seems as if the battery has been draining faster, used to, I could get in safari, use siri, and play a game for around 20 minutes and it would be at 100%, now I listen to music, get on facebook, and answer emails and it's at 50%, I'm aware that using the touch screen and fetching new mail does drain the battery, but it's also my iPod and I know how the battery used to be. Should I send it into apple? Or is this a problem they would notice?

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use a wall-mount charger from Apple and charge overnight. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

Why did my ipod touch 5G come out of the box with scratches?

When I bought my new iPod touch 5G at the store the plastic box had lots of scratches on it. I just thought that was from shipping and stuff. I took the ipod out and started to play around with it. 4hours later I noticed that there are little nics/indetnts that are around the top of the slanted area of the metal shell that is right next to the glass. Does anyone else have this happen to them? Will thyis get worse over the time that I own the ipod touch? My last one 4G lasted me 3 years.

Why does my ipod touch keep timing out?

I've updated to the 4.2.1 version on my ipod touch. I'm trying to download an app. It doesn't allow me to get past the payment info before timing out. help!

Why does my iPod touch automatically go out of DFU mode, and not stay in it until I turn it on?

I put my iPod touch 4g intoDFU mode, then after 10 minutes or so, it turns on with iBoot. I know that DFU mode bypasses iBoot. It automatically boots out from DFU mode. Please help me, because I want to restore it.

Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Why does my ipod touch 5th generation die so fast?

Okay! I received my iPod Touch 5g as an Xmas gift (back in 2012). During majority of 2013, my iPod's battery barely drained as it does today. In,October of last year (when i updated to ios 7) that's when I noticed the change. It charged very quickly (100%) and went to (20%) in 40 mins. Does anyone else have this problem?
Other info:
Warranty- has been up (Xmas 2013)
Restoring: didn't solve my issue
Firmware: 7.1.2
p.s. I have an iPhone 5 and iPad 2 on the same firmware. they were not affected as much as my iPod has been.

My iPod touch battery is dying really fast?

These past couple days my iPod battery has been dying fast! I don't have much on my ipod.. I have 299 songs, 3 internet apps (Youtube, FB, & iFunny), 5 Games (Temple Run, Solitaire, Jewelz, Angry Birds and fruit Ninja) Plus the required apps that I have to have on there. Oh, I also have 40 photos.. roughly.
But anyway, even when I leave the iPod alone the battery runs down! Like, this morning I woke some up with my iPod dead when I went to bed the battery was half full. I restored it, I deleted some songs on my ipod, i deleted some apps, and I decreased my brightness. Why is my iPod dying fast?
I got the ipod in October and never had battery problems before with any iPods that I have owned.

When not using the iPod, turn airplane mode on. WHen sleeping the iPod can do things and if it tries and connects to wifi it can discharge overnight.

HT201412 even after all night of charging my ipod touch is running out of battery whithin 5 minutes of it being on, why is this?

even after all night of charging my ipod touch is running out of battery whithin 5 minutes of it being on, why is this?

Try the following to rule out a software problem.:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still that short of life ake an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why won't iPod touch get battery percentage?? Is there a way to get battery percentage for iPod

Why won't iPod touch get battery percentage?? Also is there away to get and show battery percentage Accurately? I know about voice over, but is there a way to get it on the status bar like the iPhone and iPad?

See:
[How To] Enable the Battery Percentage with iBackupBot | iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch forums | iFans
However, as deggie sad it is not accurate on the iPod. Also, some users have reported increased battery drain.

Has anybody else had an iPod touch battery go into "deep discharge"? The only way to get it out of "deep discharge" is to connect to a Mac computer to charge it. Mine was only 6 months old when it happened, and cost $80 AUS to recharge. Rubbish batteries!

Has anybody else had an iPod touch battery go into "deep Discharge"? Mine did after 6 months use, Mains charger did not work, computer charger did not work, so took it for repair under warranty. I was then told about "deep discharge" , and it has to be connected to a Mac computer to recharge again. This cost me $80 AUS. It does not say much for iPod batteries, especially if you don't have a Mac to charge it if it happens again. In fact it sounds like a fundamental flaw in the product......

There are other repair companies for the touch/iPhone. Google them, you might find a lower price.

Why is my ipod touchs screen blank?, why is my ipod touchs screen blank?

Why is my ipod touchs screen blank?

how do you mean? does it not turn on? or is it on but nothing booting up?
If it doesn't turn on is it possible that the battery is totally drained? if so, charge it fora while and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't boot up you can try resetting it - hold down the sleep and home keys, past the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple logo come up.
You can also try restoring it with iTunes.
If that doesn't work then you may need to take it into the Apple store and have them take a look at it.
