A little bit of info if you own an ipod.
Don't ever let them go completely flat. They go into "never never land" and don't want to ever come back. Apparantly they need some charge so that the battery can recognise the charger. I'm struggling and swearing at mine atm, trying to get some life back in it. Spent a few hours seaching forums today and it is a common thing.

Never had that problem - I still have all the generations of iPod - just don't use it anymore. I will charge and update - as its almost more than a year that I did charge any of my iPods

That should never happen. I suggest you contact Apple and demand a replacement - warranty or not. They already had a class action on non- replaceble batteries a while ago. How the f*** can someone approve such a crap design unless is deliberate built in obsolescence to force to buy another one. There was a program on tely few weeks ago called a "the globe conspiracy" dealing with exactly such issues. Well worth watching.

A good fix for the iPhone is to reboot it every now and then by holding the "home" button and the "lock/off" button at the same time and keep holding it until you see an apple on the screen.

It is basically the equivalent to removing the battery and putting it back in

[tomrux]

need to look for the keys for the ithingy you have. not all the same.

Your iPhone is like your computer - if you shut down and restart it frees up processing memory. Other option is to do it manually when the phone is running or by just JB it and having a app for the same.

I have so many app on my iPhone that I have to reboot it almost - if not daily.........as it consumes memory to run and manage the load.
