How much should my iPhone battery drop with 3 hours of normal usage?
Greetings,First of all you did not mention about which model you are using.Second, You cannot accurately find the battery drop in a given specified time.There are lot of factors involved.Battery Health.A new phone with a new battery will last longer. Batteries gets juiced out with succesive charging and discharging. This is the case for all batteries. When I bought my iphone 6 plus, i noticed a drop of less than 3 to 5 percent in the first few weeks. After that the drop became significantly faster. My style of phone usage is very similiar everyday. Just couple of calls, browsing and youtube. Thats it.Apps usageI guess there is no need for any explanation on thisMore apps running= More CPU usage= more power consumption= less battery backupApps running in the background.The same reason for 2Cellular, WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS Activities.The same reason for 2.When I look into my iphone, my battery drops like around 10 to 15 percent in 3 to 4 hoursIn your iphone, you canTurn off background activity of apps that are unnecessary.Use battery saver if needed.Do not charge intermittentlyAlways charge when the battery reaches around 10–15 percent.Always charge the battery to full.Adjust Screen Brightness.The stuffs said above are very basic things, that an ios user should know. Please google for more infoRegards.
Does the iPhone 6s have good battery life?
Through my week using the the iPhone 6S, I consistently managed 15 to 17 hours per day. Switching off Bluetooth and disabling the Facebook app’s background refresh made a big difference, though I always left Wi-Fi on.For whatever reason, the Facebook app uses more background time than other app. Before the change Facebook was responsible for close to 25% of the phone’s battery drain, despite being on screen for just 20 minutes or so. iOS 9’s improved battery monitoring was a godsend here.
My iPhone battery life is horrible. Can I get a battery replacement if I go to the Apple Store, given that I have a 2 year warranty?
You may be able to receive a battery replacement if the diagnostic that is run on your phone to test its battery performance falls within the intolerable range for battery life. The lifespan of the battery is analyzed (i.e., the number of charge cycles it has completed, and the reported performance of the battery in comparison is plotted on a graph that illustrates typical expectations for performance).If your phone has exhausted its charge cycles, you will be eligible for a replacement, and if it hasn't been exhausted, but has a below-expected charge capacity based on the number of charge cycles it's had, that also would be grounds for replacement. If it doesn't meet either of those criteria, it will be very difficult to have your battery replaced by anyone in the store, due to the manner in which the diagnostics software communicates with the service replacement software. If it's performing like you say, it's probable that it is in need of replacement.
Why does my car charger drain my cell phone battery?
Let me start off by saying I have a die hard gold battery that if less than 6 months old so my battery is not the problem. When I plug my charger into the cigarette lighter socket the red led illuminates trekking me it us intact getting power. When I plug my phone in it also lights up and the little electricity symbol appears in the battery icon and it says charging and tells me the percent it's at. So that tells me it's getting power as well. The other night when I came out from work on break my phone was at like 30% so I plugged it in. Came back out after work and out was at 6%. Wtf...same thing happened last night...I was at 15% put it on the charger and looked in about 20 minutes and sure enough it was down to 4%. Can anyone shed done light on this please...what could possibly be the problem? My phone battery is ok because it takes a charge no problem in the house and the charger worked fine up until the other night. I know the car charger uses DC power and the outlet in my home uses AC but I don't see what that could have yo do with it because like I said it worked up until the other night. One other thing with pointing out is that my other devices (GPS charger and portable air pump) won't work. When I plug then in the led won't even come on. Could it be a faulty socket? It's just weird the cell phone charger would work but those won't...idk please help...
My iPhone 5 is heating up?
I've been experiencing heating issues with my iPhone 5 since almost 4 months. Initially I ignored the problem thinking that I don't wanna sound stupid at the apple store because I understand that cellphone do get heated up with continuous usage. But slowly I realized that the heating was not normal. The strange thing is that it heats up even when the phone is idle and i'm not using it. I ensure that exit all applications because in my understanding that can be a cause of overheating. Even if i put it on charge for 15 minutes, it heats up to an extent that I have to wait for it to cool down before I can use it (obviously i don't want to hurt my ears). l called apple support and was told that I should restore it to see if that helps. I really don't think it would be a good idea to restore so I went to the apple store and the guys there told me that the phone is heating because I had multiple apps running in the background (BULLSHIT). So I was not convinced and asked them if they can help me do a factory restore to which they said that it was not required. I'm still facing these issues and I really don't have faith in apple support in India as they've been giving me a run around. Please help, what should be done at this point. I forgot to mention that at times my iPhone gets disconnected from the WiFi when I screen-lock it, has anyone else experienced these issues. Any inputs would be highly valued to me.
Having replaced the (worn-out, 1hr of charge) battery in 2 models of iPhones, I realised the fresh ones offered just a little more autonomy (maybe 3hrs but definitely not as much as a new phone). Why does this happen? Is it planned obsolescence?
Thanks for the A2A.No, it is not planned obsolescence. Apple does not do that (despite what others may lead you to believe.)There are a lot of reasons why you might not be seeing much of an increase in battery life when you replaced it. One is the way you use your phone. If you are constantly on it, talking on the phone or playing games that are battery-intensive, you will use up the battery. Putting a new battery in gives you new battery life if your usage is normal. If your usage is above normal, you will get below normal battery life.Did you replace the battery with a new Apple certified part or a third party part? Third party parts are not likely to have the battery life of an Apple certified part (that’s why you paid less). If you bought a third party battery, you can’t blame Apple for “planned obsolescence” can you?If you purchased an Apple-certified battery, take it back to where you had it installed and have them test it. If you did not buy it at an Apple Store and they just told you it was Apple certified, then take your phone to an actual Apple Store and have them take a look at it to verify both that it is, in fact, an Apple certified battery and that it has the battery life one would expect from a new battery.
Does charging cell phone batteries using an inverter cause any effect on it?
Your question is ambiguous.I can interpret your question in two ways.1. Can I charge my phone when my UPS (inverter as you might call it) is running say in case of a power cut?OR2. Can I charge my phone using an inverter circuit? (As in a substitute for the charger provided)Well, the answer to the first question is obvious. Yes. You can charge your phone by plugging the charger to a regular socket when the UPS or 'inverter' is powering your house.The answer to the second question is obvious too. No. You cannot charge your mobile battery using an inverter circuit. An inverter converts a DC source to AC which means you will be supplying an AC source to charge your mobile battery which is a DC battery (there is no AC battery). In order to charge a battery, you need a rectifier that converts AC to DC and not an inverter that does the exact opposite.Cheers!
