Can you tell me how to ban you so I don't have to have your posts fill up my email inbox. I went into your profile and it says I will not receive updates when you post, but if I want to stay tuned to this battery thread, does that mean I still have to listen to you? Please let me know if there is a way to ignore you. And if you can do it without executing another post, that would be even better. Many thanks.

cmadara, it seems to me that the problem is not damaging the battery - more likely the software is just reading the battery incorrectly and therefore shutting down at inappropriate times. I'm not certain though.

Sorry jdintheburgh, as far as im aware if you are subscribed to this thread you are subscribed to anyone who chooses to post on it.

In the US, there are 3rd party support services that will replace the battery for much less. Some even have mall kiosks. In my case, it was clearly a hardware issue. Apple may test it for free and then offer to replace it for a fee. My suggestion is to get the test to see if you have a hardware issue. Then, decide if you want to get a 3rd party to fix it for less money than Apple or but a booster pack or case. If your battery does not test as failed, then you probably do have a software issue.

Thanks Linda, I might well go and get by battery tested, that sounds like a good idea.

Ok, I looked at the site about the battery extender and my daughter would rather die than have that in her backpack at school. Or, she could charge kids for the use! I think I am going to try and replace the battery anyway. I watched enough views last night that I think I won't have a problem doing it. Thanks.

Good luck cmadara. Please let us know how you get on.

I will, oh and it was Linda that posted the battery pack, Thanks. Aren't we supposed to be screaming and yelling at each other? LOL

Well thank God we aren't anymore because I literally was about to call an apple senior advisor and tell them to shut down this forum! Plus I could just go to google and even YouTube and find a fix for y'all's problem

Go to your stuff, click on the thread, left side menu select "stop email notification for this thread" or something similar.

A long time ago when this thread was in its early stages, Dariusz777 post some things to try. I tried everything on his list with a few issues so I have since elected to do only the things that really affect battery life. Here is what I have done, and it seems to be working for me. I use to loose %30 battery with 2 hours of taking my phone off the charger, wich by the way is still less than a year old. Iphone 4s try this.

1. Bluetooth Off

2. General

- Accessibility > Reduce motion ON

- Background App Refresh, total OFF

- Wallpaper - ONLY STILLS no animated walls allowed :-)

- Auto Brightnes OFF (control center should be sufficient)

5. Privacy

- Privacy > Location Services > System Services TURN EVERYTHING HERE OFF especially FREQUENT LOCATIONS

Standard location services for all aplications can remain active

- Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking, switch to ON

6. iTunes & App Store

Turn OFF automatic Updates! (this pull son the battery to to the constant need to be online checking for updates on the app store.)

If you have an Iphone 5c, or 5s most of this will not affect your battery life those phones have a differant battery designed to handle the workload. If you newer phone is having and issue, then take it to your apple retailer, or carrier to find out if it is a faulty battery..

I am not big into taking pictures with my 4S but now that you mention it when I did try to take pictures using either camera or camera+ the app would shut down whenever I had the app in auto mode or flash on mode, it would only work if the flash was off - but that is another story. I use my Canon EOS 60D for my picture taking so this probem was not on my radar, but now that you brought it up ....

VERY Helpful. Thank you! I believe the auto updates are what keep making my wife's phone go over the 200mb limit every month, even though she has all cell data turned off. This will probably help with the battery, too. Some of this stuff I had off before, and the update turned back on. Figures.

I disagree with having to buy a new battery, however understand that some people feel they have no choice. Can I recommend that rather than give you hard earned money to Apple to buy a 2nd battery! You buy a new case with a built in battery. This will double your battery life, is cheaper and offers more protection. Downside your phone is a little bigger, but not much..

Just an option to consider.
