Why does my battery drain so fast?

I have an iphone 4s for almost a year now. Each day the battery gets more bad. It drains faster. Like when it fully charges, it'll go to 99% a minute after i pick my phone up. Does playing games drain the battery more? What can i do about it?

Batteries only have so many charge cycles. In time, they jsut give out. Playing games will drain the battery. Turning off Wi-Fi when you aren't using it will help. Otherwise you can get an external charging pack. They make cases with a battery in them as well.

I too have 3gs and its about 2 years it also have the same problm… I think its the tie for changing the battery… But i do'nt know… May be playin games and usage of internet will drain more power…

Look into turning down the display brightness. Turn off the buzzer and turn down the ring volume. Put it to sleep when you finish a conversation. Keep your phone conversations down to a minimum, and text more. Not all batteries are built the same. Look for one that has the highest mAh rating for your phone model on eBay.

Are you closing your apps after you use them? Double tap the home button and they'll pop up. Just drag them up to close the app. Running apps all the time is one of the biggest battery drains.

It's generally happens due to some of the apps are may running behind the screen without any knowledge. Switch off the data connectivity when not in use. Dim your Brightness as it consume lots of battery life.

I took my phone off the charger at about 9:30am, it's now 10:01am and it was on 100%, I hardly used it, I only went on Facebook to check the newsfeed and reply to an inbox and now it's on 87%? I was watching it go down and it goes down 1% roughly every 2 minutes. It's been happening for about a week now and I'm lucky if my phone lasts me half a day.
