iPod touch iPod Touch Depleats Battery On Stanby

[mmason31]

I just joined after reading through this thread last night - after simply turning off push notifications my battery didn't bleed to death overnight. I am going to leave it like that for a few days to see what happens... I still think USING it uses more battery power than it did but at least it's not dying overnight.

IF after a couple days I see that using it still causes it to die 4-5 times faster than usual I'll be trying this suggestion - then the restore as a third ditch effort...

I went through the first page of this thread and nearly died thinking about what a nightmare restoring my iPod would be.

Then I saw rajobey's post:


It doesn't seem many people have acknowledged this. Did anyone else try it? I just installed the patch on my iPod, restarted, then waited for it to finish syncing before I unplugged it from my computer. Will be crossing my fingers and toes. I really hope it works; I'm not sure I'm willing to sacrifice all my hard work on Angry Birds...

And if anyone else does try it, you should heed his note. I wasn't going to visit the Safari option, because emailing the file as an attachment and installing it that way seemed much simpler. And it is really simple.

I thought my iPod touch's battery suddenly lost capacity then I remembered the recent update to iOS 4.
Is there no definitive fix yet? I wonder if Apple will address this.

I was having the same problem. Ipod Touch 3G couldnt make it through 24 hours after I installed ios 4. So I did the following

1) Back up Ipod Touch
2) Restore to factory settings
3) Set up as a new Ipod
4) Reloaded all my software and music.

Now its back to normal. Been 2 days on standby and the battery bar has barely moved. Not something I wanted to do but was definitely worth it. Took about 30-45 minutes from start to finish but my ipod isn't half full being a 32G.
