Topic: iPhone battery going fast

sluggy started this discussion 15 years ago #13,922

I have all battery hogs off. I can usually get 5 hours more use before its at this point. I haven't been using it a lot either.

Hope it's not dying.

It lasts a lot longer typically.

Ive never had to charge it at work, and in not even halfway through my shift.

Here's some shit I recently found out. Under your free one year warranty, you can get your battery replaced if it won't hold a good charge. You should probably send it in a month before your warranty is up or so. For best battery life, I heard that you should let your battery fully charge and die completely at least once a month. I usually did it once a week just for the fuck of it, but that's just me. Anyway, background processes are a battery killer. Oh, screen brightness, turn that shit down. You don't really need it to full brightness. If you keep the WiFi on, that can kill it since it's constantly looking for connection. If you don't need 3G, turn that shit off. It's amazing how much more battery life you get if you do.

Yea. Nothing is on that I don't typically have on. No wifI or location services.

I'm pretty sure I've had it over a year. Oh well. 5 will be out soon.

Ah, oh well. Good to know you don't keep it on. I did because I was pretty much charging my phone all the time in my car. Stereos with USB/iPhone support. Love it.

Yes. Wish I hadn't updated. Apple needs some competent coders.

Give it some time, it should be a software problem which they'll resolve eventually with an update.
