Iphone 5 issues

homer78 · Mar 28, 2015

my iphone 5, Ios 8.2(latest)

doesnt work well with my fingers

I hate how inaccurate it is when i try to swipe to close programs and they dont close cause the screen moves or the swipe wasnt "good" enough

sometimes, the battery drains fast and sometimes it doesnt
even when i have it on airplane mode and all apps are off/closed

is there any app I can load that I can use to close all other apps?

HI

Cannot help you much with the size and icons on the iPhone but what you may wish to invest in is a simple touch screen pen like this HERE they work well, I use one on my tablet.

AS for apps and battery, the older the phone gets then the more times its charged, thus leading to lower battery life, batteries do start wearing out and what is listed as 100% charged status, is after a year or so, more likely to be in reality 70% of capacity.

Now what you can do to check on this is to see what apps you have that are using power from Settings > General > Usage > Battery Usage

Then you can toggle them off using Settings > General > Background App Refresh (you can kill all or toggle on/off individual ones.

If you still have a large battery drain and not unusual for an iPhone to need charging daily, then check Push notifications, Location settings, Bluetooth, Wireless settings and disable as needed but if doing the same with Airplane mode and loosing power within a day then your battery is likely wearing out.

Well, I've read that app page and I can't find one single feature that relates to the OP's issue with their iPhone:

You're not alone. I don't see how jailbreaking and adding a surveillance app will fix homer78's problem either. It's a security risk I would not recommend.

thanks, I have a mophie case, so I never go dead BUT I will leave my phone on,(airplane mode) and come back to it and it's nearly dead, because I didnt close apps? I think?

I also turned off my backup to the Icloud or whatever, my phone seemed to always be backing up., no idea why

how would I replace the battery?

also, I have a heck of a problem with apps I use, i know they drain power when they are open/on, but how to close them easily?
I know to close them/turn them off, is to double click the big button, then SWIPE them off the screen, but that is not always easy to do. sometimes they MAXIMIZE and other times they just bounce and dont go off, it takes 2-3 swipes to get them off.
why isnt there just an X or an app that will close all apps?

The article is not officially released by intelmobi, It was just a post for readers. In this they didn't define all the services. So If anyone want to use all the services they have to be a member of intelmboi.

everything insists that Swiping the apps is the way top close them
