shut your phone down when your not using it

Then you can't receive calls, and a major function of a phone is lost...

Ok, so I realised that the newer versions are more battery lasting devices. I have a old 4S and now I have a 6+. The 6+ barely goes below 40% in 2 days, and the 4S died in about 5 hours. I only use Pandora, Soundcloud, Instagram & Snapchat. .-.

Really just get a uPhone 6

 

[masond123]

I have the same phone, except I come home with 60-70 percent battery. I have my brightness at 30-40 percent, Bluetooth off (unless I need it), and all my apps closed unless I need then open. What about you?

Same here

I love Apple products I literally have every single product. (Even ordered the Apple watch on Sunday).
But the iPhone 5C is terrible, they made it for a cheaper price so people can buy it. I have an iPhone 6 Plus (really big, but you'll get used to it) But the battery is amazing. One full charge lasts 2 days. Before this I had the 5S and I had to charge it 3 times at school.

Don't even have a phone yet, like my 30 year old uncle lol

 

[Lebron12]

I've had an iPhone 5C

That's your problem right there :3

Your phone is probably getting so low during the day because you aren't turning it off. When your phone is on during the day it is wasting a lot of battery trying to look for a signal when it wont be able to since its surrounded by brick walls. It may or may not fix your problem but that's what has worked for me.

I turn Wifi off during the day cause our school shut off its wifi rip in cheap.

Aw, to be frank, this thread was disappointing. I will tell you some actual Apple stories:

On school, we have the regulation were you can't take your phone in class, else your phone will be confiscated and to get seize of it back, your parents have to come pick it up. I used to take out my phone each PE class, no exception, until one day a random administration manager decided to come out of nowhere behind me and retorted to give him my iPhone to him; I had to, so I gave it to him.
To this day, my iPhone is still not picked up from school. Its been 5 months since then, and only when my school year ends, I can get it back without family coming over.

Another story is:

Back when I started playing MCSG I had a Macbook Air. Before that I had a Macbook Pro and the keyboard broke and so did the hardrive —don't ask the bunnies how; I broke the harddrive, don't ask, but the keyboard did break legit (one day it stopped working).
So, the day my Macbook Pro game from Apple Support, that same day my Macbook Air decided to stop working, harddrive failure. If it had not decided to fail on me, I would still have all of my screenshots from back 2013; when I met Joey Graceffa and what-not.

Another story:

Last X-mas, 2 days before it, my Retina Macbook Pro fell off my bed and the screen broke. I have no tall bed or anything, it simply was bad luck. However, before that, months before, one day my keyboard decided to not work. Was playing Minecraft and I just couldn't sprint from time to time. The "w" key just randomly stopped working, consequently "D" "F" "G" "H" "J" "K" and "L" to not work. Don't know what the hell happened.

Another Story:
Since my Macbook Pro retina display broke, I had to go back and use my Macbook Pro from story #2. I never fixed the Macbook Air —because I live in Mexico, but as a matter of fact, I just recently got it fixed; my uncle took it with him since he lives in the USA and is fixed, just awaiting for him to send it. A few weeks after bearing with the downgrade of having to use my 5 year old Macbook Pro, the keyboard decided to randomly stop working too. This time it started with "D" and consequently the keys "F" "G" "H" "J" "K" and "L" stopped working.

Another Story:
Back when the IOS 7 was coming out, I downloaded the developer version for my iPhone 4S. When I tried to uninstall it, my iPhone was stuck on a loop hole. No matter what I did and how many times I tried, or tutorials I watched, my iPhone never worked. 2 years after, one day, I decide to try and see if I can get it to work; and it did! First Apple story that has a happy ending. haha.

These are some of the experiences I've had. I still keep to continue to buy Apple Products since I haven't had problems with iPhones for the most part, but because I know that its just bad luck that my laptops keep on stop working. Perhaps, laptops are just not for me; using a laptop heavier than a desktop computer is consuming.

Trust me, I have plenty of other stories, I was just pressed for time while making this thread. I should also mention the storage issues I have on my iPhone. The 5C is in no way an excellent phone, but it seems to struggle immensely when I start to get kind of near the storage limit on the phone. It's kind of annoying, because I tend to take a lot of pictures/videos with friends and whatnot. The best thing in my situation would be to get a new phone, but my contract doesn't expire until December. Curse you, Verizon!

have u tried turning it off and on again

Yes, and resetting certain settings, backing up and resetting, resetting, more resettting, and crying :c

Do you have a PC or mac? Just curious considering you like apple.

PC all the way for me. I have an iMac in my house (which is actually what I'm using to type this) but I prefer windows desktops.

why does everyone always complain about battery .-. I have the iPhone 5s and I charge it once every few days to 100% and it lasts for a very long time, even though I listen to Pandora all day in class and im on iFunny all day... I also have an iPad 3 which hasnt died in like a year even though I never charge it...

You have never endured the struggles of the iPhone 5c, you can't complain ;-;

I have the same phone, except I come home with 60-70 percent battery. I have my brightness at 30-40 percent, Bluetooth off (unless I need it), and all my apps closed unless I need then open. What about you?

While at school, my brightness is probably about the same as you. Since my school shut off it's public/student wifi, I turn off wifi and never have bluetooth on because it just murders battery. In most cases it's just in sleep mode, with wifi off, and resting. My only problem is that my genius school does their best to restrict our coverage, AT&T is completely blocked, and Verizon has a tough time getting even 3G coverage (although ironically enough, they allow us to use our phones practically whenever). The phone searching for bettter coverage could likely be a contributing factor to the battery drainage, but the battery is still painstakingly awful.

Your phone is probably getting so low during the day because you aren't turning it off. When your phone is on during the day it is wasting a lot of battery trying to look for a signal when it wont be able to since its surrounded by brick walls. It may or may not fix your problem but that's what has worked for me.

Since our coverage is so terrible, and since the wifi got shut down, I tend to shut it down at least once a couple days per week during the school day when I'm not using it. Usually I'll keep it on to go on kik or something, but I know where you're coming from.

Have you over-charged your phone?

I do my best not to. That was one of the first things I learned to stay away from. Another tip I try to regulate is letting my phone drain itself completely down until it dies every week or so. Given my "outstanding" battery, that tends to not be a problem
