Hello there TA!! im new here to sorry if theres another thread so please be gentle with me jeje Ok, i bought an ipod touch 4G in May, and it was perfect...but for some reason my ipod touch has been acting very very weird and im getting mad at it, the problem with my ipod is the batterie, i use is like until 65-70% of the batterie then if i wanna play a game like N.O.V.A. 2 or Deathlock online or any game at all the batterie goes from that percent to 20%-10% in like 5 minutes, ok so the question is that if anyone has been experiencing the same thing or if it is that batterie is just dying on me. o and another question, i bought it at Wal-mart can i get it to a apple shop and will they repair/fix the batterie problem?? Thanks in advanace and sorry for the long post and the questions!
Not sure if this will work but try these: 1) Stay in Airplane Mode when not using WiFi. This will remove an enormous drain on your battery, as it's otherwise constantly looking for WiFi. 2) Double-click your button to reveal what apps are running. Touch and hold on an app icon to make them all wiggle. This also brings up a little red bubble in their top left corner. Push that to close every unnecessary app. 3) Clear your history, cookies and cache and restart your device.

@Curleh Mustache tried doing all of that of what u said and played 5 mins of Dead Space and went from 76% to 44% i really dont know whats wrong @backtothis Will this help me in any way?? and if it will will it erase all of my apps???
How are you seeing the percentages? Is your iPod jailbroken? Restoring it should help and will not delete any of your apps. All of your saved files will be kept as well. Just make sure to backup all your device when it prompts you.
95% of the time this problem is because of a memory leak...iOS4 and later is really shitty when it comes to properly clearing memory. Especially when an app crashes. Two ways to fix this: 1) if you're jailbroken, use Sbsettings and open the "processes" button. Then use "clear memory". 2) If you're not jailbroken, just kill all multitasking apps, then do a reboot (hold sleep until red slider shows up).
The thinner apple makes the battery's sadly the less reliable they will get overall and the lower the lifespans. Try a hard reset or restore as already mentioned but if that fails you probably should just take it to apple and have them switch the battery or find the fault. To hard reset just hold the power and home buttons down together until the device turns off it's not recommended to do this a lot though.
well i think i resolved the problem they told me to DL Sbsettings and did what someone here told me to go to process and clear memory and for now its working fine i hope it stays that way thanks for all of your responds they all helped a bunch thx alot!!
Not sure about an iPod but the iPhone you go into Settings, then General, then Usage and there should be an option to turn the battery percentage on/off. Turning it on does use up extra power mind.
This sort of happens to me as well, especially when playing graphic intense games. Usually if my battery is below 80%, when I start a game and play it for about 5-10 minutes, it shoots down to like 50%-40%. However, when I notice that happening, I will shut down the app and take care of everything like that, and boom. I am back to 75%-80% battery again. lol it's the darnedest thing.
Well restoring this thread for an update...i went through the internet looked everywhere and nothing coulndt find anyting, and i restore my ipod through itunes and i was like, "looks pretty good now"...started playing Deadlock and i played 5 mins online and the batterie was almost completley full and BAM! the notification box of 20% batterie hit my ipod, i think and im pretty sure its the battierie at this point i mean what else could it be, and another thing is that i tried doing the SbSetting and it worked for a couple of days then the same thing again i think ima send it to apple or go to the appleshop and see whats up with this...
