Why is my iPhone 5 losing battery so fast?
I got it about a month ago, and the battery's been fine until yesterday. It just started losing battery really fast. This morning, when I put it in my backpack before school, it was at 50%. When I took it out at the end of the day, it was at 36% and I didn't even touch it during the day!
Hmm. Well if you didn't close out of a web page on your safari app, then that cause use data. Music might be playing but sound off very unlikely though. That's the price we pay when we buy iphones… I might buy a droid phone that does everythingt the iphone does (i don't know about music) and more with powerful battery life.
Sometimes when you go in large buildings you lose service - this drains your battery incredibly quickly. Try to also turn off cellular Data. Then try turning off bluetooth (that one drains battery very quickly as well). Also turn off Wi-Fi. I suggest only using those three services when you really need them.
Sometimes a running app can drain battery. Double tap your home button and long press any app that appears until it starts wiggling (Like when you move apps on the home screen). A red circle with an "X" should appear. Go through and hit the "x" on all the apps that appear until there are no more apps left. Many people debate on how effective this is, but I've seen the statistics, it helps immensely (even on Droid phones)!
If battery life continues to be a problem, try restarting the phone (turn it completely off and then on by holding down the Sleep/Wake Button and sliding the "power off" button).
Switching to a Droid phone will not necessarily solve your battery life woes! (Although the Samsung Galaxy S III has a much better battery life than the iPhone).
And just so you know, Apple Technical Support suggests that you drain your iPhone battery until it turns off every single time before you put it on a charger. It will preserve the life of your battery - I've seen how effective it is first-hand.
Make sure you shut down your phone power off and make sure your Wi-Fi is off also bc that takes a lot of battery.
Would like have been iOS 6.0.1/6.0.2.iOS 6.1 was released yesterday & so far my battery life has improved, so it looks like that should solve your problem.
- Why is the battery on my iPhone 4S suddenly draining so fast? It used to use a reasonable amount for a smart phone, but starting this week, I can lose 50% of the charge in one day with minimal use.
- Why is my iPhone 5 losing battery? My iPhone is a few months old, it has been working great until a week ago the batter stopped holding. I left it in the car for a few hours and it lost 10 percent. My phone just died at 4 percent battery not one, then when I started charging it it started at 4. Just a minute or two later it went to 13 percent, and it keeps radically increasing. Is there anything I can do?
- Why is my iPhone 4s running out of battery so fast? Obviously iPhones are renowned for low battery lives. But mine is normally fine, i turn my apps off, brightness is never usually high. Though starting yesterday it has been dropping ridiculously quickly, going from 100% at 9am and then within the hour it's gone to less then 30%, my battery isn't lasting longer then two hours before dying, previously it had lasted as long as 8 hours and is heating up alot, can anyone help me out?
