iPhone 3G battery dying fast

metachi · 7 Sep 2009 at 09:25

it used to last like 2days without using the internet, now only half of day.
If i book appointment with apple, do they swap the battery or give me a replacement?

Replacement phone.

I have the same problem, since 3.0 I have to charge my phone at least twice a day and thats hardly using it.

Is they a standard number you call to book an appointment? or just your local store?

Store - you can do it on the website if that's any help.

If they can't fix the problem then they will replace it as long as the phone is under one year old.

Would they replace with another 3G or a 3GS? Bit of a long shot I know...

mine is 8GB and 8GB its still for sale in apple store.

Try a full wipe and restore in itunes. I had a similar problem with my battery and that fixed it for me. I'd be purprised if they completley replaced the phone as it's only a battery change out, but you never know.

They are still replacing 2Gs with 2Gs.

You will get whatever you have now

Apple Stores are very efficient in this respect.

I was lucky enough once to have swapped a black 3G with a white 3G because they didn't have any of the black ones in stock.

i'm going to try and get mine replaced as its hilarious now, i'm usually getting 20% warnings by about 4pm and i don't think i use the internet that much on it.

They still make the 2g as they are launching the iPhone in China in Q3 of this year.

I got my 8Gb 3G swaped last week for having a bad battery (20% charge left after 3hrs use) and fluff under the screen. I was only in the store for about 10 mins, pretty good service I thought
