Why would my iphone suddenly lose charge rapidly (6-7%/hr) with no use

Why would my iphone suddenly lose charge rapidly (6-7%/hr) with no use?

I had the same problem with my iPhone 5 AFTER I had upgraded to IOS.
Did a good deal of searching on this site and others and found that the main advice being given was to turn off all apps that are running in the background (From the home screen double press the home button and a visual list of all apps running in the background will appear. To turn them off simply swipe your finger upwards on each).
Found that this definitely solved my problem and now make sure I do this every time I use the phone.
Hope this helps

HT4623 why would my iphone suddenly stop doing eprint jobs with my airprint friendly printer?

Hi
Yesterday my iphone 3 stopped recognizing my airprint friendly computer and will not let me print directly from my iphone anymore. Any suggestions on what I need to do?
Thanks

I have the OJ 8600Pro+, which is Air Print friendly, but if I'm not printing over my wireless network (through the router) I have to have Wirelss Direct turned on in the printer Settings. Then, it still takes six or seven tries before my iphone 5 (with IOS 7) detects the printer. With IOS 6, detection was always immediate. Once the printer is detected, the iphone remembers it until it goes to sleep. Then I have to start all over again. Maybe this is your problem.

Which iPhone model do you have?
Are you in an area where you carrier has good LTE network coverage?

Why would my iPhone work perfectly fine but when it gets to 48% it randomly shuts off?

Why would my iPhone randomly shut off at 48%? Then say its at 1%. The only way I can use it is if it ha more than 48% battery

This is usually the feature of faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing. If there is Warranty or AppleCare this will be covered.

Why would my older iPod not charge after sitting dormant for while?

Why would my iPod classic not charge after sitting dormant?

Be patient, leave it connected to a USB 2.0 port or wall charger, for at lease 2 hours.
It would normally takes about 30 minutes of charging, before the iPod Classic screen comes to life, if the battery has not gone bad.

Why is my Samsung suddenly taking forever to load emails? It has used almost 1 GB of data in two days. The foreground data is minimal. background data is what is taking all the data.

I have a work iphone (4) and my personal iphone (5). Can I possibly get by with just using one phone or do I need both phones?

I Accidentally left my iPhone 4s in a light rain while I was swimming. I got home from the pool and turned my phone on, my battery was low but everything seemed fine. I then attempted to use my speakers and no sound came out. I tried to turn up my volume but it said headphones were plugged in even though the jack was clear. I also noticed a dim light coming from the flash and water droplets inside the camera lens. I resolved to the old "phone-in-rice" trick to try and dry it out. When I came back to my phone about 6 house later it seemed fine aside for low battery. I went to plug it in and as soon as the charger connected to my iPhone the screen went black. It now will not turn on or restart. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
For the old "Phone in rice trick" to work, it should sit for many days not hours. By applying electrical current to a wet electronic system, you have fried some of the components. It is not repairable, You will need a replacement iphone. Sorry

Ipad loses charge rapidly after IOS7 install. It went from 100% to 80% without using it

Why does Ipad and Iphone lose charge so rapidly after the IOS7 upgrade. I have notifications off and all apps closed.

My Iphone 4 loses charge while charging.

I have been having a couple different problems with my Iphone 4 lately I thought when I went to the Apple store yesterday it would be better. In some ways my Iphone is working better but for some reason when I charge my phone it slowly loses charge. It usually doesn't go below 90% but still why would it do this? Yesterday when I brought it in they redid the firmware saying it might be corrupted but it doesn't seem that has anything to do with the charging. I actually bought an entirely different cord thinking maybe mine was broken or something. So it's definitely not the cord considering the help I just got didn't make the problem any less prominent. My other problem was that my battery was draining like crazy whenever I didn't use it very much. I'd be working and check my phone on my break and it would be down to 40% or 30%! I charge my phone all night so I have no idea how it would lose so much battery. Since they re-installed the firmware im not sure if it will keep doing this or not but I will definitely go back if I keep having problems. The biggest thing is the charging issue, does anyone have any ideas?

It is actually an Apple Ipad charger I'm using just bought a new one at the Apple store yesterday cause I thought my old Iphone 4 charger had someone wrong with it and was making it not charge correctly. They were both Apple ones I would never use a 3rd party one or a computer.
I can check on email being the cause I did hear that can be some peoples problems with charging. Other then that I just put all my apps back on (when they did the firmware install I lost everything and had to put it all back on) since I did that I haven't actually used any apps to see how my phone would work. No facebook and no game center should be running. Also no exchange accounts just regular yahoo ones. So its either App Store or Email. What do you do to make your email not drain so much battery while charging?

Why does my iPhone 4 not charge correctly? Problem is definitely with the phone and not charges or chords. Phone will charge but very slowly and no icon comes on. Computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it a being connected.

My iPhone 4 quit charging correctly. It does charge but very slowly and icon doesn't indicate it as charging. I've checked cables and charges and the problem is definetily with the phone. My car stereo no longer recognizes it as a device. Neither does the computer. The real strange thing to me is that when I plug it into my old klispch speaker dock it will play songs. My battery life is good when it is charged so I don't think its the battery. I've tried resetting the phone and cleaning the charging port. I'm out of warranty.
Would disconnecting the battery possibly reset it from some glitch or is the charging port got some bad contacts?

I checked with the Genius Bar. It was a new dilema to the lady that was helping me. She took it to a back room and worked on it but it came out the same. She gave me some options for repair or credit for replacement.
I just kept the phone and put up with slowly charging it by plugging it in and then turning it off.
I couldn't transfer anything from itunes.
I finally got fed up and bought a new charging port for $10. and a toolkit for $3. I looked up a video on youTube for the replacement and did it.
That solved all the problems, it was the charging port, must have been some bad pins or something because it patially worked.

Why has my iPhone suddenly stopped working?

I was in the middle of reading a text this morning when my iPhone suddenly turned off. Now, the screen is black and my computer won't even recognize it when it's plugged in. The battery should not be dead because it was charged over night and it does not turn on even after being plugged in for awhile. I didn't drop it or spill anything on it before it broke, the screen just suddenly went black. Has this happened to anyone else. Any suggestions on what to do?? Also, I haven't updated my iPhone to iOS 5 yet if that's relevant.

Contact 3 asap you may have been frozen because of inadvertant excessive
data use or more.
All you can eat does NOT apply overseas
AND if you did not enable roaming they will certainly believe your iPhone has been stolen
and taken out of the country

Why would wifes iPhone 5 start randome calls at 3:00 am?

Why would my wifes iPhone 5 start randome calls at 3:00 am? My wifes phone called my mother, me & one oher clients. When it called i hung it up went th go check on her & and the grandbaby in the other room. They were both out like a light. Looked at her phone and it was moving and selected another number and started to call it. I hung it up and turned it off. Funny thing is her phone was passcode protected.
Any clues on this?

Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
If not, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
