Hello, I'm having the same iPhone problem. My charge is stuck in the red even when connected to a computer or charger. I notice your post was 3 weeks ago, did you manage to resolved the problem, and if so, how?

Many thanks

Dave

****Update****

I shut my iPhone down by pushing the top button and the bottom button at the same time – which actually shuts the phone down. Then I charged it overnight and it was fine the next day. I think that makes sense to do after each update, just like on your computer when it asks you to restart after an update.

I am so happy my iPhone is back!

I am having the same problem with battery running hard and not holding a charge for long. I actually just started having the problem after the 2.1 update. Perhaps it was coincidence? In any case, it doesn't seem to fix the battery drain problem.

FYI – I've have my iPhone for about 6 weeks, and only 3 days ago started having problems (after the update).

Did anyone install the new update that's supposed fix many bugs including battery life? I'm going to give it a try. It's Software Update 2.1

I had a similiar problem today, my iPhone was in my pants pocket and it felt warm. When I tried to use it, the battery was dead and it would do absolutely nothing. Presently I am charging it on my laptop and wonder what will happen tomorrow.

I have had my phone for about 2 months and it has suddenly started losing power in a couple of hours. I have removed all applications and short of a reset, it is pretty much the way it was when I bought it. Took it to the local Apple store and they said to reset it on itunes back to factory settings. If it continues to driain power after that they would replace it.

But I lose all my contacts that way so how do I back up my iphone

I had a similar problem. The battery was going down normally, It got to 10% percent and later the thing went off. Up till now all of this is normal. What I can't figure out is that it doesn't show that it's charging at all. It seems completely dead even when it's connected to the power.

I hope there's nothing fried inside. I hope I can find someone to replace the battery.

Had a similar problem crop up today. iPhone 3G worked all day yesterday, talked about an hour total..no problems. Plugged it in overnight, and this morning it was dead within 3 hours of no calls. Charged it again, and it is already down to flashing red batter indicator. Now i have it powered by usb and I think it is actually going down instead of charging on usb.

I agree it's to do with the upgrade of 2.0. That's when most of the problems started. Garbled voice, battery life down to nothing, email won't send or receive, internet slow. I called ATT and they said to replace the sim card. Went to a local store and replace the sim. The clerk told me he didn't think it had anything to do with it. I charge all night last night, battery indicated is in the red, charge in the car while at work still nothing. By the way my warranty ran out two weeks ago, seems strange.

Yup I've been having the same problem since yesterday…the usage time is same as the stand by time…some app is running in the background and causing the battery to drain…i am waiting and watching to see if this is a recurring problem…if it is maybe i will remove some of the apps i installed in the last few days….but definitely a bug that apple should look into…

10-22-08 – The past two nights I have had my batter drain from 100% to about 25% with no wifi, no bluetooth, no location service, no phone use, no app use. It's been sleeping all night and still somehow draining battery life like a sumbitch.

I have the 1st generation iPhone that I received new in Feb 2008. My battery has not been keep a normal charge as of July 11, when I downloaded the recent firmware 2.0. I thought because I downloaded 10+ applications I was draining the battery. I accepted it as I was testing out the different applications. Now that I am a little over downloading applications I have noticed the last two days that my battery will not keep a charge. Yesterday, my phone was fully charged at 8am and by 1pm it was at 20% and I never once touched my phone from 9a-1. Today the same thing, although at 1pm my phone was completely dead and off.

I have been charging with the block and it takes forever for it to charge and gets really warm. I just got done reading all the post on this blog and have plugged my iPhone into my computer with an old USB ipod charger. It has been plugged in for about 20 minutes now and seems to bee charing and not warm at all. Hope this works.
