Will AirPlay use Battery when not in use?

Hi everyone,
i'm pretty new in the Apple Universe (Aug 2012) and...well enjoying it :-)
One thing i was not able to find an answer to is if AirPlay will drain more Battery from iPad and iPhone when activated even if nothing ist streamed or mirrored?!
All the Devices show the AirPlay Icon, so somethings must be looking out for an Apple TV, right? Will this effect Batterylife or just when used?
I admit it must sound stupid to ask such think but im not just new in Apple-World but also curious :-)
Best Regard
Christian

Was the computer turned off or asleep? It won't hurt to have it taken off. Normally I wouldn't worry about it unless it was going to be a few more months.

Phone is using data when not in use. How do I make it stop?

My iPhone 4S is using data when not in use. Any thoughts on how to make it stop?

Hello Oakleymp
You could always turn off cellular data in Settings to get it to stop using data while it is on standby. Another option to troubleshoot the issues is to reset all settings, go to Settings > General >Reset > Reset All Settings.

Certain apps use battery when not running

I had noticed on my 3G, and potentially on my 4, that after installing certain apps, the battery goes down much quicker, without using the apps, or even the phone.
I realise that certain apps do, by the nature of what they do, use more juice, but felt that even when they are not even used?
2 apps that def sucked the life out of my phone, so i uninstalled where:
the trainline app
and
Nextbuses app
both in the UK. Can't explain why.
Any one else found this? It's a shame since NExtbuses was really handy.

Yes, When you turn on bluetooth you fire up another radio. That radio periodically searches for things to connect to. If you turn it off, your battery will last longer. Not sure if you'll notice the difference. I had a Motorola phone which could go an extra full day or two with Bluetooth off.
If you use bluetooth, as I do, to automatically connect to your car when you get in, shutting it off is not a convenient option. If you rarely use it, then shut it off when not in use.

Stratosphere consuming more battery when not in use

Does anyone know what might cause this and/or if there is a fix for this?

sorry for slow reply but in order the answer to your questions are: 1. i get about 4-5 hours of idle time off the charger 2. yes i do 3. yes i use the default one that came with the phone, called program monitor 4. this is a replacement phone as my last phone had battery issues as well though it had problems with being active as well as passive but back to the point the phone did not come with a battery
oh and i did the math my passive time is close enough that a geusstimate of the math was that it was useing more. it isn't quite useing more but it is very close
edit: this problem did not occur when the phone was first received i got about 3-4 days of normal behavior and then it went and started this

My iphone 4s restarts itself and kills the battery when not being used, what is wrong?

If I'm not using the phone it dies and then restarts by itself, then when I woke up this morning the battery had died and it needed charging, it was fully charged when I went to bed, I have restored it with and without backup and hard restarted it, the only time it seemed to behave was when it was restored as a new phone with absolutely nothing on it at all apart from what it comes with.

restore the phone as new if it still does that then replace it

Remove battery when not in use for a long time?

Hi, I went overseas and accidentally left my Macbook behind, but brought my charger along. My Macbook had very little battery power remaining when I left (less than 20%) and since I have the charger with me, nobody at home can help me charge my Macbook. I'll be away for quite a few weeks, should I get someone at home to remove the battery for me? Thanks.

The wifi on my iPod is turned off to save battery when not in use. I changed my password, but when I changed it, I must have mistyped it. I cannot restore my iPod, connect it to iTunes, or wipe it, as far as I've tried, and cannot contact Apple, HELP??

HELP?!?! I'm really frustrated! I tried connecting it to my iTunes on my computer, and it said I have to unlock the device for that to work.... and I don't know the password... :/

You need to place the iPod in recovery mode first before connecting to iTunes as this will allow you to bypass the passcode. See this article for instructions on getting the iPod into recovery mode.

IPhone resets itself when not in use

I have an original iPhone which has been updated to 3.0. Since the update I've noticed that the phone will spontaneously restart itself when not in use. When this happens I'll notice the screen light up with the silver Apple logo and then go blank. This will happen repeatedly. While this is going on I can't use the phone until I plug it into the computer. Once iTunes does it's thing the phone will return to normal for a while - sometimes a day or two - before repeating this behavior. I have reset and restored the phone but without solving the problem. Apart from this everything seems to be working properly.
Any ideas?

Have you tried restoring and setting up as a new phone (i.e., not restoring from a backup)? Sometimes those backups bring along whatever is messing up your phone.

Iphone 5 battery suddening draining when not in use

Had my iphone 5 for about 3 months and was very pleased with the battery life. But literally out of no where the battery started draining super fast. Dropping 15% in 30 minutes when not in used. Here's the deal...nothing has changed ie locations, email, icloud etc. And quite honestly what is the freaking point of having those things if it drains the battery at unreasonable speeds. So I completely frustrated with Apple for at least not saying "we understand theres and issue and we are working on it." I will never switch cuz I'm an idiot Apple diehard but there have been so many bugs of late it's just frustrating. Also at the same time of the fast drain when I swipe to delete a text the delete button dissapears within one second. Both issues came on at the same time. I'm trying reseting the battery, restoring, unchecking notifications and a bunch of other features which is so stupid... whats the point of having a smart phone if you can't use the features? So I am going to demand a new phone and I know the Apple Genius guys who are so far from genius its pathetic are going to say nothing is wrong with the phone haha, just like the did with the super slow WiFi connections I get...they were completely unaware that there was a problem with iphones and Wifi cuz of course at the Apple Store the Wifi flies when they test it there but of course once you go back to your home or business the Wifi is back to super slow. Wow the things we put up with. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions please reply.

IPhone4 battery draining when not in use

am just wondering if anyone experiencing battery draining when not in use? i charge my iphone4 before going to bed and woke up this morning to realise that my battery had drain 22% on stand by... is this normal? can anyone confirm it to me please, thank you

Just an update guys --after draining (on standby) over 20% of my battery charge last week, it has risen to or about 40+% in the last couple of days. I haven't changed any settings or whatsoever. I had to charged it twice during the day yesterday and it was bloody frustrating. anyway, i went to the apple shop today and told them the problem... they scanned my iphone4's battery and it was evident and showed when was the last time it was charged and how much battery life has it lost throughout the day. After scanning my iphone we did not even have to discuss repair or do any setting or software checks. I was gobsmacked --as i did not have to ask for a replacement, I was immediately offered a swap to a brand new iPhone4... lucky me? umm, i don't know...maybe? But the thing is, they seemed to be aware of the problem and they are keeping a low profile on tackling the problem. so my suggestion is if anyone has a battery problem with their unit, take it to apple and have the battery scan. As such, i have to wait and see if this new unit will present the same problem, although i must admit, for some reason, this new unit has a slight different behaviour than my previous iphone4.
Other issues on my previous iPhone4:
1. frequently dropping signal --not a problem with the new replacement unit
2. if i turn off my "phone" feature on the multitasking bar, red dot appears on the phone icon and i couldn't make a call as it seemed blocked and it kept asking me to set-up the voicemail feature every time --again, not a problem with the new unit.
3. even my tomtom app has changed its behaviour, i have discovered new features without updating the app --strange isn't it?
4. playing NOVA game was a pain with the previous unit as i kept getting network problem and interrupting the game.
5. it kept shuffling my music when i'm using ipod whilst walking. imagine, hearing about 8 different tunes in a span of 5 seconds...
anyway, time will tell with this new unit as i have kept the same settings from my previous unit and uploaded my previous back-up data and apps. so it would be like having my old iphone4 and we'll see in the morning if it will drain on stand by as well --i hope not 'cos am getting really frustrated with it. oh, by the way, blue tooth feature don't work with my new replacement unit --NICE!!!

My iMac will not sleep when not in use.

The screen will go dark, but the disk will not sleep when not being used. I have restored defaults and set energy settings to do so and still no luck. Any thoughts? Was this part of a current update? It just started to not sleep a few weeks ago.

Thanks for your help regarding my computers sleep disorder. I wanted you to know that after many hours of searching, I found that I had downloaded a program called Growl with my Belkin router when I installed it. I removed this Growl program and finally my computer will sleep on it's own. I wanted to give you this info just in case you come across this problem again.
Thanks again!

Battery discharges very quickly when not in use

After fully charging my Nano and leaving it for a day I find that it discharges leaving 2-3 hours of playing time.
In fact, even when fully charged I would be lucky to get 8 hours playing time.
I appreciate that the battery slowly discharges when not in use but my Mini certainly retains its charge far longer than my Nano.
I have tried "conditioning" the battery occassionally but no use.
Anyone else have this problem or is my batter faulty?

nevermind - just read an article on the apple site saying the battery is in use even when it's turned off, i suppose to save the date and time.
Wish there were an option to completely turn it off - i dont really care about the date and time.

NFL Mobile App Used Data When Not Open

I used the NFL Mobile App last night for the first time. I connected to my WIFI thinking it wouldn't use any data. But it did anyway. And then during the night when the app was closed it used a whole lot of data on its own. I have notifications turned off. Why should this be using data when not open? And why should it be using data when on WIFI?

To have to go to settings, apps, find the app and then force stop is
a lot of steps just to stop an app. Not really an acceptable solution.
However, I re-installed the app. Opened it to make sure it worked ok. Made
sure my WIFI was on during all this. Then went to apps and did a force stop.
Took several tries to get it to stop for some reason. Later I noticed my phone
seemed to be using a lot of battery for some reason. Re-booted phone to make
sure all apps had closed. Went back in and checked the NFL app. It was no
longer stopped. I force stopped it again. Took several tries. Waited a few minutes
and checked again. It was no longer stopped. For some reason it won’t stop. So
I had to un-install it again.
Not sure why all this is happening with this particular app, but I can’t take the
chance of inadvertent data or battery usage. So it will remain un-installed until
someone tells me the problem has been fixed. It’s a shame as since this is one
of the perks of my Verizon account, I feel I have been slighted. I can’t believe I’m
the only one having this issue.

Apps wanting to access my location when not in use (and not giving the option to turn it off)

For most apps, I can choose to share my location 1) not at all; 2) when the app is in use (my favourite); 3) always (even when not in use).
Why do some apps not offer the second option?
For instance, I want to use an app that locates the nearest automatic external defibrillator (if someone has a cardiac arrest) but I can only use the app when I allow the app to access my location all the time. Given the fact that I will use this app perhaps only once every 15 years, I see no point in giving them my location for the next 15 years! That's just a waste of battery power and also a breach of my privacy.
Second example: Apple's own weather app. I check the weather maybe once every month. I do not want the app to locate me all the time. But I can only choose between option 1) and 3) above.
Is there a technical reason apps work like this? Or are they just sneakily trying to get as much information about me as possible?
Thanks for your thoughts.
PS: I am using iphone 6, iOS8.3

everything rudegar said is right on. Still, 10% overnight is more than you would expect - so something is still running. try-
double click the home button, and see what apps are listed as recent. one or more of them might be still churning away. it is a good idea to close those out fully every night. Any of those apps with notifications or location services may be checking in every now and then and using your power.
you mentioned airplane mode is 'off'. this may be a terminolgy thing - but having airplane mode 'off', means that the radios are on. WiFi, and 3 G if you have it. turning airplane mode "on" turns off the radios.
with everything off on mine - (except I leave the wifi on) - i use 2 or 3% overnight.
But if you really want it off - do what rudegar says.

Bluetooth headset disconnecting when not in use

I noticed that when not in use, the Sony Bluetooth headset disconnects from the phone. Didn't see that problem with the Samsung Galaxy Music. Is this a battery saving feature of Stamina mode?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Depending on which headset you are using the headset may disconnect to a kind of standby mode. The headset will auto connect to your phone when you are placing or receiving a call. Depending on which software you can also force a connection by tapping the call button.
