Iphone 5 Battery Fix

Featured Replies

Apple launched a crappy piece of software. I turned off iCloud sync and removed Evernote . And FB sync.

Now at lunchtime I have 70% left Compared to about 40% previously

Was that with wifi or 3g still on.. how much usage?

because i have an i-mobile Q6 running Android ICS. took it off the charger at 7am . about 20 minutes internet.. 20 minutes on TV app and downloaded a few ring tones... 75% now.

But gotta say with LINE or apps like that they kill the battery... so i feel for you.. ohh by the way mine was 5,990b

do you have the rattle?

Don't you just love it when the "fix" for crappy battery life is to turn everything off that you bought the phone for in the first place.

By the time you've switched off everything they recommend you're left with.... A phone.

At least my Blackberry still gives me a full day with it's crappy little battery and push 'everything' enabled... Wish I could say the same for my Android, it's down to 60% by the time I get off the bog in the morning with a dead leg...

If I have to turn 3G on and off, would be rubbish bin time. I leave it on. Bluetooth off. Happy with the performance today, and notice phone not hot any more .

Agree w OP that there should be no need to turn it off to start with .

The wife took over my galaxy note ( free be w new tv ) , and that was terrible w the batt.

Every iPhone iteration has had little glitches, and the early adopters - must have "The Precious" - seem overly rectal, so I suspect things may not be as bad as they seem, and will hopefully get better.

Will admit my Galaxy Mini S 3 doesn't have a "battery problem". Leave all options on. The thing I don't like is it's screen size. Guess everyone needs to realise these phones and people's exspectations mix like water and oil. ALL phone makers keep trying to out-do each other, why? Sales.

Well iOS obviously has bugs. Batt this morning dropped rapidly to 90% in 45 mins on standby.

Reset phone, and hey presto, batt indicator says its 98% and now at 11 pm @ 82%

real smooth apple! Lets reanimate Steve

So having a cheap android phone makes you what? Smart? Cheap charlie? Poor?

Stop writing on iphone topics, nobody thinks you are cool and smart. You are embrassing yourself.

Fyi, there's an Apple forum where Apple users can practise their unique form of mutual masturbation...

This is a general forum - hell, it's not even a mobile forum. I don't know why the mods didn't boot the thread into Apple forum. Anyway, in a general forum, don't expect the level of cult adoration for iCrap that you'll find in the Apple forum.

Muratremix. Just because you spent in excess of 20,000baht on a phone. And I paid less than 6,000b does not mean your cool and smart and I'm a cheap Charlie. But writing posts like yours does show your an opinionated dick that thinks spending lots of money gives you the right to be rude to other people.

Stop being an apple fan boy. And just become a decent human being that understands there is more to life than Apple.

If what I wrote makes my Apple Fanboy, what makes you in your intrusion to Apple topics and advertising your cheap 5,990 thb android phone (entry level) ? Fandroid? Google-boy? You really think you outsmart hundreds of millions people who use expensive apple crap by your $200 USD phone?

Get a life.

Being rude again.. aluminum poisoning maybe.

If you think Apple iPhones are crap why buy one. Because I never said they were.

Also what's an entry level iPhone? A 4 year old design 3gs at 9000b????

And hundreds of millions of people own Apple IPhones.... really? To answer my own question . Yes. There have been a total of 250 million iPhones sold since the 1st one in 2007. Well done Apple.

Strange but true.... Wiped iPhone and setup as a totally new phone, did not use backup to reinstall, just used sync to get content across ( contacts, apps etc ).

Was a pain in the butt to re- arrange all the apps in the right folders / screens

- End Result -

Battery at 6pm is still 54% ( last charge @ 7am ). Noticeable difference

FYI

Raza Maxx - 2 days between charges and half the price of an I moan 4

Agreed, but target age group is 65 +. :)

Kidding, but was not over the moon with Android OS, and a good friend who is very up there in terms of IP stuff and SW described as a "leaky ship" in terms of security
