iPhone 4 incredibly fast battery drain
I've had my iPhone 4 since February and never really had any problems with it. I have always had 3 email accounts, two of which push automatically, and all notifications and had good battery life (charge once at night, if that). Beginning the other day, a full battery will drain in about 4-5 hours with no usage. 2 hours if I'm actually using the thing. Also, the phone is unusually warm.
In order to fix this problem I tried the following:
- Shut off my iPhone (holding top button)
- Shut off my iPhone (holding the top and home buttons, I read this was different)
- Turned off all notifications
- Deleted all apps that I had installed after and shortly before my battery life went to ****
- Went to the multitasking screen and closed out of every app listed
A similar issue happened with my fiance's iPhone 3Gs and once she deleted her eBay app everything worked fine.
The part that confuses me is that this wasn't a gradual degredation of the battery. I haven't even had the phone for 4 months!
I'm out of ideas on what to do. Please help me 😟
