Greetings all,
Ill get straight to the point..
ive bought the ipod touch 4g barely a month ago, and since then ive been experiencing the following battery issues..
1. Random battery drains (put to standby for 4 hours, click it on, only 1 or 2% battery lost, however within seconds, in front of me, the battery drops another 10% without me even touching the screen).
2.I had the screen brightness at 50% no wifi/bluetooth on, with auto brightness...
3. The same video which takes 4%, sometimes takes 12-15%, at the exact same settings with no apps or anything else on...
4. Sometimes when the battery is at 97% or so, charging, i disconnect it...and immediately it jumps to 100%, i play music for a minute and it returns to its actual level which is 97%...
4. I have tried restoring several times...to no avail..problem persists...
Since i had no clue about the apple return policy(being new to apple products), i missed my chance to get an immediate replacement, and i was asked to send it to an apple service centre...which kept it for a day, ran two hours of video and said the battery life was normal since it drained just 30% as it should have..
These battery level drops happen completely randomly...however they are worrying me a great deal....
Is there any way to get a replacement under the warranty?
They are not easy to reproduce, as is the very nature of the problem, and i seem to have missed out on the return policy.
If there is any way to get a replacement, for a brand new faulty ipod touch 4g, with such a random but crippling ailment, i wouldnt mind paying 20% of the price , if thats what it takes, I am that desperate.
Would be grateful for any expert advise!
On a Side note: my friend with another ipod touch 4g(32 gb, same as mine), has no such issues.
