Is My Ipod Touch Faulty?

Hi,

I have a 3rd gen 8gb Ipod Touch & have noticed the battery life to be getting worse.

For example:
It had probably 3/4 worth of charge yesterday morning. I turned it off at approx 8.15 am & turned it back on at around 10pm. It had approx 1/4 of charge left & it had been turned off ALL day!! I then played a game for 15 minutes & then had less than 20% charge and had to turn it off.

I have the 'whatever happens' cover from Currys but the ipod is less than 12 months old.

Can anyone offer any advice please?
Thanks

Tried rebooting it ? - keep both buttons pressed for 10 secs or so, until you see an Apple logo.

Have you checked what apps are in the multitasking window ?

Some apps still work and use battery in background includinf safari.

Try closing them and see how it goes.


Another choice is to do a system restore and battery calibration if it shows low battery but recharges in say an hour or less.

In addtion, check you're on iOS 4.2 - 4.1 on my 2G iPod Touch killed the battery unless it was set to airplane mode, something to do with WiFi being on all the time.

iOS 4.2 has cured that problem, so worth upgrading if you haven't done so already.

Thanks guys.

I'll look into my apps (I definately don't have safari running though) & I'll try the reboot if the apps don't seem to be the problem.

I'll be hooking it up to my computer at some point aswell so will make sure I do the update.

If all else fails...Currys here I come!

Thanks again
