iPhone 4S battery life

All batteries drain.

Do you haev a question?

So search this forum. Battery troubleshooting has been addressed multiple times.

Hi Friends,

I have found a solution for my iPhone battery life: recharge the mobile battery until reach 80 to 90%. Make a full recharge justonce a month (IOS 6 User's Guide). It takes few days to see the improvements.

Hope it will be helpful

I just purchased the iphone 4s I do not have outlook. I am considering using the iCloud. However, I'm not sure if it will use up my battery synching constantly. Any thoughts on this?

It should not.

My wife's 4S has improved battery life after updating to iOS 6.1 and noticeably faster app response. Almost as fast as my iPhone 5.

iPhone 4s battery draining quick/no sound after restart/ iOS 6.1

I bought my first iPhone 4S thirteen months ago (Jan 2012). After upgrading iOS to 6.01 and now 6.1 I have discovered some strange and nasty behaviours.

The first noticeable thing is the iPhone restarts itself after every shutdown and don't play any sound at all (no sound when using the keyboard, no sound from music app) and no sound control with external buttons. But the ring sound function is working normaly !

I have cleaned the connector with a toothbrush but I think dust into the connector is not the cause of problem in my case.

After 3 to 5 minutes, the sound function is back again without doing anything !

The only way the iPhone stay off after shutdown is when it's plugged on a power source with a computer or a charger.

And the last noticeable effect after iOS updating is the fast battery draining, 1 per cent every 2 or 3 minutes, even when the phone is supposed to be on sleep mode. Last night i left the iPhone sleeping with 100% charge in Airplane mode and six hours after i found the battery was at 80% !

It seems the iPhone don't sleep at all and some processes are always running in the background even if they shouldn't. I can confirm this checking the usage stats, finding that standby time is very closed to the usage time (few minutes less for usage).

I made many tests and four restore procedures, including restoring the iPhone as new in two opportunities. No solution at all !

Now, i am using my iPhone 4S in a very conservative way, as i have to turn OFF the 3G, GPS, WIFI, Exchange, Push, Bluetooth and iCloud funtions to be able to use the phone basic functions during a working day !

In conclusion, i think we (because many iPhone 4S users are concerned) are facing :

- a defective hardware

and/or

- a buggy iOS 6.01 or 6.1

In all cases, APPLE is responsible for fixing this situation.

I pledge firstly for a one year extension of warranty period and the launching of an exchange program.

I think we (iPhone 4S users) also need a technical assessment to know what are exactly the buggs inside iOS 6 that produce such battery draining.

I hope APPLE will communicate soon on these matters !

Best regards

Hello,

I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch/Ipad/Iphone/Ipod Classic, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.🙂

Quoting Sbailey4:

1. Do the IOS 6.0.1 update (or any other update)
2. Reset All Settings: SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET ALL SETTINGS
3. Use it until it dies (automatically shuts off)
4. Plug into Charge
5. Leave it 1.5 hours or longer after it reaches 100% --> Undisturbed (preferably overnight)
6. Give it a few days to Calibrate

This has helped me on my Ipod Touch 4^th generation, running IOS 6.0.1

Hope that helps!

If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)

Cheers!

Hi,

I am also having battery problems probably in the last 4 weeks. My phone is just not holding its charge. It was fully charged when I was going to bed, when i woke up the next morning it was at 12% that's just not right. This evening my phone turned off, it was telling me the battery was dead, red battery sign, however when I plugged it into charger it came back on and said it had 50% battery????? I have to charge my phone 2/3 times a day!!!!!
I updated the software thinking that might help but it didn't. Would restoring it to factory setting help??? Or does anyone know why this is happening?!?!?! Its very frustrating !!!!! 😟😟😟

The same thing is happening to mine, it is 14 months old. It just started a few days ago. I have to charge it 2-3 times a day. It is dying without me even using it at all. I have no idea what to do.

Does that really work? I am having severe issues in the past week. My phone totally died within 4 hours of charging it last night. I didn't even use it, as I was sleeping!! Help!
