IPhone :: 3G - Gets Very Hot And The Battery Dies Quickly

Mar 24, 2010

This just happened recently. I can feel the thing in my pocket heating up. The battery goes from full charge to empty in the matter of a couple hours.

Oddly though, this morning it said I had no service and my phone was normal temp and the battery lasted a long time. Or course i needed services so I turned the phone off and on and the service was back and so was the hot phone.

The phone is over a year old. I've tried all of the trick. Hard Reboot. Reset all of my settings etc.

IPhone :: Phone Battery Drains Quickly - Dies - Shows 50% Once Plugged In

Feb 23, 2010

I've got a 2g unlocked. Nothing installed but the sinful MMS package (but it did this before I installed it anyways). Maybe once or twice every week or two the battery will drain rather quickly during the day. It'll last from 8am - 6pm off a full nights charge. So once it dies, I'll try to turn it back on but it remains dead. As soon as i plug it in, it turns on as usual but then reads 50% battery. The remaining "50%" then takes about an hour to drain to zero again.

The battery has been calibrated and most days it works perfectly fine (2-3 days per charge)I think I've noticed that this happens on a day where I might use the phone a little more than average, but definitely not enough to make this drastic change.

BB (RIM) :: Battery Dies Quickly Blue Tooth

Feb 10, 2010

I've seen references to firmware versions here, but the only one I could find is my main software level. 4.5.0. Otherwise I would've listed it.I've got a recent problem that just cropped up. I've got a blackberry 8300. No other issues with it. Historically, I have been able to charge it fully, then use it for 3-4 days without needing to recharge. Most of the time it is with a Motorola blue tooth earpiece. I don't talk a lot. Probably 15 to 20 minutes a day tops. Occasionally I'll have a longer conversation. Recent;ly ( a few weeks ago, I had a full battery in the AM, used the bluethooth for about 15-20 minutes and the phone shut off. Upon powering up, it said "not enough power for radio". I let it charge fully for a few hours. The next day or two was similar, very little use and the battery was totally dead. No warning.

I charged it up again, and this time I didn't use the blue tooth for 3 days. I had 3 bars left. I started using the blue tooth and within 5 minutes the phone was dead. Went from 3 bars to dead.

I charged it up again, this time I didn't use the blue tooth at all. The battery lasted for about 4 days. I was able to talk on the phone all the through the last bar (red). No problem.It seems like the battery gets to a certain point, and then with the added load of the BT radio, it just gives out when it gets down to a few bars.

IPhone :: Battery Dies At 20-30%?

May 16, 2012

In the past week, my phone has started dying at 20-30%. When I plug it in to charge, it starts charging at the same charge it died at. Will a restore in iTunes help that, or do I just need to replace the battery or phone? Or, will updating to iOS 5.1.1 help that (I am running at 5.1)?

IPhone :: I 4S IO5 5.1.1 Battery Dies At 80%

Jun 18, 2012

Is it just me or is anyone having this problem? I've search the communities and couldn't find an answer.

My 4S is running on iOS 5.1.1 and is having a problem with power.

Currently I am plugging my iPhone into a Boostcase to extend its battery life.

The problem is, its not extending its life but the iPhone is reliant on the case.

Without the case the phone dies at 80% more or less.

When tried to turn on, the phone request to be plugged in as it would when the battery dies.

I don't think this is a hardware problem but more system related.

I've tried restoring, reseting and the charge cycle thing.

Nothing works. I have resorted to asking the community.

All replies are appreciated. Thank You.

IPhone 5 :: IOS 7.1.2 / Battery Dies Too Fast

Sep 12, 2014

Recently Iphone has invited customers to get their battery replaced who have purchased the iphone 5 between Sept 2012 to Jan 2013. I have purchased my Iphone 5 on Feb 2013, however my battery doesn't hold a day (and quickly goes to 30%->0% in no time). I have checked on the apple page and my Serial number is not suggested to be affected by the fault that the company is admitting. Is it possible that the lot that I have purchased the phone in could also be faulty similar to its predeccars. I am facing the battery issue from almost beginning of this year now. That suggests my phone battery was fine only for an year. I am wondering if this is the average age of Iphone battery or my phone behaved exceptionally bad.Â

IPhone Battery Dies When More Than Half Full

Dec 10, 2014

My battery used to fail on me at 15% and later on sometimes even at 30+% (After 8+ hours stand-by/usage). But since a few days (also after updating to iOS8) it just dies after 3 hours and sometimes it indicates it has about 70% left. The fact it only gets worse makes me think it's the battery. It's slowly dying.

But updating to iOS8 seems to have made it worse. So it could also be a software problem.Is it worth the try to change to a new battery first before restoring the iphone etc.?When I plug it in to charge it has the same % as when it died.

MacBook, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

BB Curve 8500 :: Battery Gets Really Hot Than Battery Dies?

Jan 11, 2010

I have a blackberry 8520, I have had it for about 2 months now. My blackberry battery gets really hot than within the hour the battery dies. This happens randomly. First time it happened to me I was in a movie theatre and had the phone on silent. The second time it happened I was wearing it on my belt clip and had it on loud. I do not keep any apps running and usually only use the phone for txts and email. My fiancee bought his blackberry curve 8520 the same day and he has the same problem. My blackberry is updated with the latest software. Any one else have this same issue?

IPhone :: Battery Gets Used Up Too Quickly

Jul 24, 2010

So the iP4 gets a full charge at night and it's 100%. I disconnect it and leave it idle (nothing is running). I wake up it's at 68%??

Does it have to do anything with me restoring it from a 3GS backup?

If yes, then how can I backup everything (contacts, notes, sms, photos/vids) and then set it up as a new phone then restore that data?

IPhone :: 4 - Battery Draining Too Quickly?

Jul 16, 2010

I took my iPhone4 into the Apple store so they can look at the battery issue I think I am having. Here is a screen shot of the performance of the battery before my visit.

They said the phone needed to be reset to a new phone because I initially choose to use the backup of my last iPhone when I initialized and there is probably a software problem which is draining your battery faster.

Me: Well, Ok. But can you please run a diagnostic on the phone before we reinitialize.
Apple: No. There is noting wrong with the batter, this is a software problem.
Me: Ok.

So this next screen shot is after using the phone after initializing as a factory reset.

I am not seeing any difference in the performance if anything it is a little worse.

Do you all think I have a problem or is this normal performance for the iPhone4 battery? Apples website claims the phone should be standby 300hours, internet, 10hours.

I haven't been doing any heavy use just normal internet use, some angry bird action and a couple video shots.

What type of performance are you all having?

IPhone :: 4S Battery Draining Quickly On IOS 5.1?

Mar 14, 2012

I recently upgraded to 5.1 on my AT&T 32GB iPhone 4S. I have noticed that my usage time since last charge, taken at 1% battery level from a full charge, is about 4 hours and 45 minutes of usage and about 9 hours and 15 minutes of standby time. Is anyone getting battery drain this quickly? I have followed all the battery saving tips from restricting Ping and iAds to getting rid of most notifications and removing a lot of location services except for Maps and Safari. I also adjusted brightness to auto and deselected the "Send usage logs to Apple."

IPhone :: Battery Drains Quickly

Jun 24, 2012

My iphone 4s is only a few months old. After I updated the latest software update I noticed my battery drains down to red every day. This has never happened. My local ATT store said to minimize all the programs on the bottom of the screen. I've never had to do that before so I can't imagine that's the problem?

IPhone 5s :: Battery Is Draining Quickly

Dec 2, 2014

i just bought an iPhone 5s 2 days ago, for some reason my battery is draining very quickly. I downloaded a game from the App Store that took most of my battery life away so I deleted that, but my battery is still draining very quickly. I also did a the lock screen/home button reset a few times but that didn't work either.

IPhone 6 :: Battery Drains So Quickly With Hardly Any Use

Dec 8, 2014

I keep most of my apps closed, don't send messages, rarely talk on the phone, don't play games or watch videos, don't even listen to music, have set most of my apps not to refresh in the background (maybe I don't need a phone?) and my battery drops to 30% in 8 hours after being charged all night. This is new behavior, so I'm not sure what to else to do.

Xperia X10 :: Dies When Battery Goes Below 15%

May 14, 2011

I even submitted the phone to the service center and they said they have fixed it, but the issue still persists. My phone (Xperia X10, with the latest software) goes dead (not restart but shut down) , intermittently, at different battery levels (but always less than 15%). I mean, once i get the 15% notification for remaining battery level, it becomes unstable and keep shutting down at different battery levels (12%, 10%, 9%, 6% being the most common ones). I have to reboot the phone everytime it dies. There is no trend for the shut down, ie. sometimes the phone shuts repeatedly at different levels as I keep rebooting, sometimes it shuts just once, and on few occasions it never shuts down. I have performed factory data resets, formatted SD card (16gb SDHC, class2) , used different SD cards but every combination ended up in the same behavior.

HTC :: Nexus One Battery Dies At 9%

Apr 24, 2010

Perhaps I didn't calibrate my battery meter correctly, but if I drain my battery it dies at 9% most of the time. This happen to anyone else? With lithium ion batteries I'm pretty sure that the battery is pre configured in the OS for the stock battery specifically, so that the meter doesn't need to be calibrated. Anyone have any thoughts?

IPhone :: Battery Draining Quickly And Die At 50 Percent

Mar 21, 2012

My iPhone 4, since updating to the most recent software, had started crashing when it gets down to 50% and 50% on the dot every time. Now it seems to crash whenever it feels like it but never will it get below 50%. The only way the phone turns back on is when it is connected to a power source once again. I don't even get the dead battery signal when trying to re-boot or anything. Now it would sound like the issue is my battery but I booted up my 3GS with the latest update and same exact thing happens. The battery drains from 100%-90% @ regular speed and from 90%-70% the thing really starts moving quick and from 70%-50% it's just a guess as to when it will die in that region. The issue is such a deal that it's basically rendering my phone useless. If I wanted to leave a phone plugged into my wall I would still have a house phone.

IPhone :: 4 Heating Up And Draining The Battery Very Quickly?

Jun 6, 2012

My iPhone 4 has recently started heating up and draining the battery very quickly, I updated to 5.1.1 when it became available but I can't say that is the definite cause for this problem as it started occurring about 1 week after updating.

I have searched the web/these boards and tried countless things but nothing seems to be working. Basically if I do anything on the phone it will immediately start to heat up and drain the battery. I have recently had the screen replaced, not by apple themselves but by a certified specialist that uses apple equipment, could this be part to blame?

I have tried a 2/3 full restores, resetting network, resetting settings. I did notice that when iCloud was disabled it didn't seem to drain the battery as quick but personally I don't want to settle for having to run my phone with half the functions turned off!

One last thing I am going to try is something I read on cnet which was to do a backup onto my computer (I have been doing all the resets via wireless/cloud at the moment) and then reset the setting, run the battery right down and then full restore the battery to 100%.
