mine is shutting off at 96% battery life, multiple times a day

Another iPhone 5 user, in the exact same situation as Kait. My phone is just over a year old...there is absolutely NO reason my phone needs a new battery at a year old. Unless it's another design flaw?
Apple, what do you have to say? This is becoming a widespread problem.
Snicki_81 Oct 22, 2013 12:39 AM

I have exactly the same problem.
I read, that someone recalibrated the battery. Does anyone know how to do this?
Kait Oct 22, 2013 8:25 AM
in response to Kait
We tried to recalibrate the battery - Basically you charge it to 100% and let it drain down to zero. The problem is, the phone turns off before it gets to zero, so there's no way to actually do the recalibration. If anyone else knows, I'd love to have your help.
Apple? Are you out there listening? This is a problem... We need help! I'm not spending $500-$650 on a new phone since I am still stuck in a contract, so this phone will have to do until I am eligible. I hate to say this, because I'm a loyal Apple fan, and have been for 20 years, but I may have to go elsewhere after all the problems I've been hearing after IOS7 and with the new iPhone 5S.

Same problem here. My iPhone 5 shuts down when battery is around 25%-30%. After a few minutes I can turn it on and battery still shows around 25%-30%. It happens again when it goes down to 12%-15% and again around 5%-8%...
- I've already drained the maximum amount of battery I could until I saw it showing 1%.
- I've reset the phone (home+on buttons for 10 secs).
- I've installed the App Battery to help cherging.
- I've charged the phone to 100% (full cycle).
Nothing works... What's the problem???

I've had the same problem ever since iOS7 was installed on my phone. Went to an Apple store today in Bristol and they told me I was 17 days out of warranty.
He ran a diagnostic on my phone and showed me it was at about 80% capacity which is unacceptable after 12 months of normal usage. It's £55 for a new battery or £209 for a replacement phone. He refused to even replace the battery until it had completely failed which again, is baffling. He stated that I should claim a replacement or repair under consumer law but this sounds like Apple passing the buck in my opinion. Had an HTC prior to this for nearly 3 years and had no issue with the battery at all.
Regretting my purchase now after almost £600 shelled out in total. What will Apple do to help?

I have the same issue after upgrading to iOS 7. I have just upgraded to 7.0.4, so hopefully, that will resolve the problem as stated in a separate post. My phone is also just over a year old and dies between 20 and 30% left. Apple's QoS has definitely "failed" of late.

Same problem here, and it seems to have started out of nowhere with IOS7 (actually seems worse with 7.0.4). My iphone 5 used to properly shut down when the battery was down to 1%. Now it shuts down at about 20-30%. I can't turn it back on, it shows the sign that I need to plug it in. When I plug it in, it shows the charging sign and says the battery is close to 0%. But as soon as it turns on a few seconds later, the battery is in the green at 20-30%. Super annoying.

I've got the same problem. It really annoys me. Will apple give us any respond or improvement on IOS????
jencorti Dec 3, 2013 4:19 AM
in response to Kait
Same here except mine has been shutting down more and more at 50%. Plus I will drop a charge by 10-20% with a simple task like texting!!!
joflo723 Dec 3, 2013 5:45 AM
in response to Kait
I guess I will add that I too am having this issue, in the event that Apple actually is reading these posts.
Mine almost always shuts down around 20-25%. Yesterday it shut down at 30%. Really frustrating. The odd thing is, there have been a few times that I have run mine on 1% for while before it shuts off. I am finally getting around to doing the update to 7.0.4 today. If I see an improvement after updating I will update my post.
Arimeca Dec 5, 2013 7:43 AM
in response to Kait
Yes, yes... same issue.
Started after last update to IOS7. Drains fast and shuts off with battery at 20-25%.
Use this phone for safety reasons on the ranch in bad winter weather, going to be out of luck when I get stuck and have no phone to summon assistance.
Do I need to get a Walmart phone for emergencies now???
This is absurd!

I'd just like to say that ahs70's post on Dec 1, 2013 at 1:17am on Pg. 9 worked for me as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5338609?start=120&tstart=0
If your iPhone's battery is acting up you need to determine if it's a software issue or a hardware/battery issue. To do that, after syncing your iPhone, erase/hard reset all data and settings from your iPhone to what it was from the factory as new. This can be found in Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. Then test it out for a day or two. If it's still acting up then it's likely a hardware issue and you will need to get your battery replaced. If your warranty is done than check out this link to get a battery kit to replace your iPhone battery yourself: http://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-5-Replacement-Battery/IF118-001#produc tDescription
If your iPhone is now working properly after hard resetting it than it's most likely a software issue. This battery issue only started after upgrading to the new iOs7, so it is obviously related to the update not properly installing itself. What has worked for me and many others is to manually update to iOS 7.0.4 using the full downloaded version of the update which is about 1.32 Gigs.
But first you need to find out what model of iPhone you have, click here to determine if it's GSM or CDMA: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Then go here and scroll down to download the iOS 7.0.4 complete update for your device: http://www.downloadios7.org/download-ios-7-0-4-ipsw-file.html
Then scroll up on the download page and follow the instructions of updating your iPhone manually following the instructions below: "IPSW with iTunes"
And your done.
Problem solved.
I only posted this because it was a very frustrating problem that no one really seemed to figure out a solution for.
I hope this helps.

Got new iPhone 4S delivered on release day (Friday, Oct 14). Activated without problem. On Sunday, it quit working except when connected to wall charger.
On Monday, called AppleCare, hardware failure was problem. Had choice to pay $29 for them to immediately send me another one, or, they would send me a box to mail in my broken iPhone, then they would send me a repaired or replacement iPhone 4S. Opted for latter. Drove 40 miles to AT&T store to get new SIM card for old iPhone 3GS, activated it in store. Got shipping box for 1st iPhone 4S on Tuesday, mailed on Tuesday. Got replacement iPhone 4S on Thursday, late in day. Replacement was quick, no complaints.
Nightmare Friday: ready to activate replacement iPhone 4S, about 5:00 PM called AT&T Business from my office phone to activate, had obtained IMEI & SIM card nos. from screen on new iPhone 4S. I noticed, however, that the IMEI no. on the phone was different from the IMEI no. shown on the shipping box that replacement iPhone 4S came in. Initially, the process went smooth until the time came for phone to actually activate. It wouldn't.
After going through initial menu on iPhone to activate, I end up with message: Device unknown This iPhone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service. Please visit your nearest Apple Store for more information. The closest Apple Store for me is over 110 miles away.
Connected replacement iPhone 4S to MacBook Pro. In iTunes, I get the following message: There is a problem with your iPhone. We're sorry, the iPhone you connected is not recognized and cannot be activated for service. We recommend you visit your nearest Apple Store for more information. To find your nearest Apple Store, click here.
I'm still on the call with AT&T. They transfer call to AppleCare tech support. Verified IMEI no. and SIM card no. off of the SIM card tray. Technician advises that the IMEI no. is not in his system. We figured out that this IMEI no. did not match the number on my shipping box. Verified the serial no. from the SIM card tray, technician never advised me whether that number was in his system, but it also did not match the serial no. shown on shipping box. We tried the hard reset procedure twice, same results and messages. We tried to get it to work with the old SIM card from my 1st iPhone 4S, same results and messages. Technician brought AT&T guy into the phone call. Verified and re-verified all of these nos. several times, from the iPhone 4S screen and from the bottom of the SIM card tray, although I had to find a magnifying glass to see the numbers clearly, they are very small. The AT&T guy repeatedly related that there appeared to be no problems on his end. I was getting a cellular signal with 3G, which apparently was able to attempt activation over cellular airwaves. Also tried activation over my wi-fi network and through iTunes. We were on hold for what seemed forever while technician tried to figure out the problem.
During the call, I received several calls from family wondering what in the he[ck] I was doing and why I wasn't home yet to grill steaks! This procedure should not have taken longer than 10-15 minutes, but it ended up lasting 3 hours and 10 minutes. The call ended when I got another call from home and I forgot to hit the HOLD button for the call to AT&T/AppleCare tech when I answered the other line. I opted to go home. Steaks are still marinating, we ate McDonalds. Had an e-mail from the technician, left him a voice mail, I think he went home.
Later this evening, logged onto my Apple account which showed my registered products by serial no. They have listed my initial iPhone 4S which I sent in. They also have listed another iPhone 4S with the serial no. shown on the shipping box, which is inconsistent with the serial no. shown on the bottom of the SIM card tray of the replacement iPhone 4S. I initially tried to create a Support Case No. online using the serial no. from the iPhone, not the box. Was quickly given message that that serial no. was not valid.
So, I find myself again with an inoperable iPhone 4S on a weekend and the only option to get my old iPhone 3GS activated again is to drive 40 miles to the AT&T store to get another SIM card. With no prospects for getting an operable iPhone 4S any time soon, the nightmare continues.
I have been a dedicated user of Apple computers and products (iPods, iPhone, iPads et al as they came out) for over 20 years. Never have I experienced a nightmare of this magnitude until now. Up until today, I would never have considered the thought of being on the negative side of Apple's top-rated customer satisfaction.
One can only hope that someone in AppleCare Tech Support with the authority to resolve such problems reads these boards AND is willing to look into this without delay (like before our steak dinner Saturday evening). Are you listening (reading)???
NIGHTMARE Finally Ends, after nearly two weeks.
After trying for over a week trying to get my replacement iPhone 4S to activate, I ended up driving 110+ miles to an Apple Store to get a second replacement, which had been specially shipped there for me. Popped in the SIM card, went through the setup and I finally have an iPhone 4S that works, at least for the time being.
Advice to others who find themselves in this situation:
1) If you get these messages (see original post), the phone is bad. Demand a replacement.
2) If the AppleCare tech advises that the Apple Agreement Administration team is investigating, you'll be waiting for a week or more for them to complete it. Demand a replacement immediately, don't let them put you off indefinitely.
After the initial phone call documented in my original post, I was in daily contact, phone & e-mail, with the AppleCare tech trying to figure out the problem, and we tried everything, from forced restore's to switching SIM cards, conferencing w/ AT&T, etc. It seems that this was a case of first impression to Apple, but if it wasn't, then the problem is not well documented or known by those who should know, and for that, the blame should be on Apple, not the AppleCare tech who worked tirelessly trying to figure out a solution--I'd send him a case of beer if I knew where to send it.

CCP document condemns Western ideas; Chinese historian says "ramifications very serious"
...Condemnations of constitutional government have prompted dismayed opposition from liberal intellectuals and even some moderate-minded former officials. The campaign has also exhilarated leftist defenders of party orthodoxy, many of whom pointedly oppose the sort of market reforms that Mr. Xi and Prime Minister Li Keqiang have said are needed.The consequent rifts are unusually open, and they could widen and bog down Mr. Xi, said Xiao Gongqin, a professor of history at Shanghai Normal University who is also a prominent proponent of gradual, party-guided reform."Now the leftists feel very excited and elated, while the liberals feel very discouraged and discontented," said Professor Xiao, who said he was generally sympathetic to Mr. Xi's aims. "The ramifications are very serious, because this seriously hurts the broad middle class and moderate reformers — entrepreneurs and intellectuals. It's possible that this situation will get out of control, and that won't help the political stability that the central leadership stresses."...

Lilee Systems and Alstom Launch Systems Management Tools for Passenger and Freight Railroads Implementing Positive Train Control
SANTA CLARA, CA and ROCHESTER, NY, Apr 16, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- Lilee Systems and Alstom today announced the joint launch of a new, first-of-its-kind suite of interoperable Positive Train Control (PTC) products for rail lines. Combining their respective expertise in advanced communications systems and rail signaling technologies, the two companies have developed an Interoperable Train Control (ITC) solution that for the first time offers the industry a Wayside Interface Unit with Systems Management Agent (SMA) functionality. The companies will unveil and demonstrate their new offering during the third annual PTC World Congress in Orlando, Florida.
The partners' joint PTC offering is built on Alstom's proven microWIU Wayside Interface Unit and addresses two fundamental priorities -- safety and smart management of railroad's wayside signaling and train control equipment. Augmenting the microWIU with Systems Management Agent (SMA), Service (SMS) and Gateway (SMG) capabilities allows rail system operators to monitor, configure, control, secure and update their installed train control equipment and assets using a fully-integrated communications network. This approach improves and simplifies management of railroads' ITC devices. The joint offering is available immediately to rail operators in the U.S. and Canada.
"Lilee Systems and Alstom have well-established track records for solving customers' signaling and train control challenges," according to Steve Zwart, Alstom's Director of PTC activity. "Recognizing a need to help those same customers simplify and accelerate their PTC deployments, we are now building on our complementary core competencies and together providing a suite of tools that make the management of PTC wayside assets secure, reliable and easy to deploy." "Alstom is a rail industry leader with superior solutions and deep technical knowledge," Jia-Ru Li, CEO of Lilee Systems, added. "By combining their proven microWIU wayside interface unit with our WMS-2000 communications and asset management framework, we are reducing the complexity of our customers' freight and commuter rail PTC implementations." The launch of this new wayside train control technology offerings comes as freight and passenger rail operators work towards fulfilling a federal mandate for full deployment of Positive Train Control technology by December 31, 2015.
About Lilee Systems Founded by leaders in the wireless industry and headquartered in California's Silicon Valley, Lilee Systems is the leading vendor of wired and wireless IP-networked communications products and solutions focused exclusively on the railroad and rail transit industry. Team members have extensive backgrounds in IP routing and switching, standardized LMR communications, and have been voting members of the IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi, 802.15 WPAN, and 802.16 WiMAX working groups for many years. The company's extensive experience in Software-Defined Radio (SDR) technology makes Lilee unique in the industry. By leveraging its core competencies in radio frequency (RF) systems and networking, Lilee Systems has developed the TransAir family, including the PTC-3000 series 220 MHz Radio Transceiver, the WMS-2000 Wayside Messaging Server, the LMC-5000 series Mobility Controller, and Communications Manager units to offer a complete end-to-end interoperable IP-based communications network.

him and his snide comment about "Not that the Seahawks would worry about how the game is officiated" comment. You can kiss my arse you asshat.
Has there ever been a Super Bowl where one team didn't score at all?
And this is the 5 time MVP.
seahawks got lots of calls today
'moral victories' are for losers
The Steeler defense was so dominant that it was obvious the Vikings offense was not going to be able to move the ball and score points.

|Must be cut straight at the appropriate scissor icon. Failure to do so will cause damage to circuit.
We recommend the plastic hose or conduit cutter, available through most hardware stores.
Maximum radius: 1 1/2" bend.
Please USE Tie Strap, Mounting Clips, U-Channel, Y Cable, Spider Cable, Filler Cable, or Suction Cups.
Note: The spears/pins on splice kits,power connectors, etc must be inserted into the center of the wires. Failure to do so will prevent light from working or cause product to short circuit.
|Use hacksaws, carton cutters or common household scissors to cut rope.
Try to repair an uneven cut. Instead advance to the next scissor mark on the coil and cut again.
DO NOT make 90-degree turn
DO NOT fold back onto itself.
Please DO NOT USE masking tape, electrical tape, gluing, painting, Nailing, or stapling.
Note: Lights should not be fully recessed. If recessed too deep, it can cause string to overheat and fail.
First turn the power off, then locate the cut marks printed on the rope at each end of the defective section. Use a straight edge cutting tool like PVC pipe cutters, or a single-blade pruning shear to cut at the cut marks. After that, remove the defective section.
Slide the heat shrink tubing over the new section and install the splice pins, then rejoin the new section with the splice pin.
Test to make sure all of the lights are working.
Center the heat shrink over the splice and use a heat gun or hair dryer to shrink the tubing into place. Be careful not to melt the rope light during this process but the heat shrink tubing does need to be very tight.

Fall of Giants
by Ken Follett (Goodreads Author)
by Ken Follett (Goodreads Author)
This was the novel version of Downton Abbey. Every character, setting and country was so clear and crisp in my head. I can still hear the characters talking weeks after I've finished this book. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

Not low-profile ready.
This review is from: Mediasonic HP1-U32F PCI Express USB 3.0 PCI Express Card
Pros: Gives PC extra USB 3.0 ports, internal and external.
Cons: Although billed as "low-profile ready", it's not. The card may be a low-profile design but there is no low-profile bracket available. You'll either have to leave the card installed without a bracket (a bad idea just begging for a short) or you'll have to modify the existing standard bracket to fit a low-profile PC.

The Putnam County School Safety Specialist Sub-Committee has several items on its agenda it has targeted as main concerns.
On Thursday, the eight member sub-committee met at the Miller Education Center to discuss ways to improve consistency among the six county schools.
The group, along with other county safety specialists, have discussed the possibility of parent education nights.
On Thursday, the sub-committee agreed to have Old National Trail representative Tom Standers look into the possibility of putting together a community educational fair.
At its December meetings, Standers informed the committee of such a fair that took place in Vigo County.
He said agencies provided food for the children and parents in attendance. In addition, face painting with clowns took place and there were games for children. Standers also said several emergency agencies had vehicles at the event for children to see.
"It's just to bring the community together," Standers said Thursday.
He said the event brought in nearly 6,000 people two years and close to 3,000 last year.
"It is a way to promote the idea of police being good instead of bad," Standers said. "The focus on bringing the kids out is what brought out the parents."
The committee had mulled over the suggestion for one month and on Thursday, the sub-committee agreed to delve further into the issue, with the possibility of bringing such an event to Putnam County.
It was suggested Thursday to have the event early in the year, possibly before the school year begins. South Putnam High School Assistant Principal Dan Bain said that might work better for parents and children.
"It's kind of like a kickoff for the year," Bain said. "We could do it every year, if we could put it together."
Creating a parent education night was one of seven items Greencastle Middle School Principal and sub-committee chairperson Shawn Gobert had suggested Thursday. The remaining six included:
-- Better communication, especially with ONT employees,
-- School safety drills and exercises,
-- Including Area 30 and ONT in planning and activities,
-- Student information (including medical information, phone numbers, contact information, etc.) on computer memory sticks,
-- Continued National Incident Management System (NIMS) training, and
-- Further review of school crisis plans.
On Thursday, Putnam County Public Health Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Steve Walters suggested the sub-committee put together 5-7 person teams to conduct surveys with the six schools.
He suggested two phases in the plan, including reviewing school crisis plans, and conducting on site surveys following a mock disaster drill.
Walters said the officials would come to the school to watch a drill and then make a review on site.
North Putnam Community School Corp. Assistant Supt. Kevin Emsweller recommended that his corporation be the "guinea pig," for a possibly March on site survey, if Walters could put together a team that quickly.
The sub-committee agreed to attempt to put together the team by February and possibly conduct a on site review in March.
The committee meets regularly on the first Thursday of each month. Its next meeting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m., Feb. 1.

Containerization Is More than the New Virtualization
Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment.
This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their smaller footprint, shorter boot times, and higher consolidation factors, they also bring a lot of new features and use cases that were not possible with classical virtual machines.
In his session at DevOps Summit, Jerome Petazzoni, Senior Engineer at Docker, will focus on one of those features: separation of operational concerns. Specifically, he will demonstrate how some fundamental tasks like logging, remote access, backups, and troubleshooting can be entirely decoupled from the deployment of applications and services. This decoupling results in independent, smaller, simpler moving parts; just like microservice architectures break down large monolithic apps in more manageable components.
Speaker Bio:
Jerome Petazzoni is a senior engineer at Docker, where he helps others to containerize all the things. In another life he built and operated Xen clouds when EC2 was just the name of a plane, developed a GIS to deploy fiber interconnects through the French subway, managed commando deployments of large-scale video streaming systems in bandwidth-constrained environments such as conference centers, operated and scale the dotCloud PAAS, and various other feats of technical wizardry. When annoyed, he threatens to replace things with a very small shell script.

As the rapid adoption of containers continues, companies are finding that they lack the operational tools to understand the behavior of applications deployed in these containers, and how to identify issues in their application infrastructure. For example, how are multiple containers within an application impacting each other's performance? If an application's service is degraded, which container is to blame? In the case of an application outage, what was the root cause of the outage?

The handles are available in recycled wood, old dollar bills and paper.Will I physically be touching the wood, dollar bills, or paper?No. The handles are a mixture of polypropylene plastic and the recycled material. The handle is coated in the polypropylene so you won't actually be touching the recycled material. What does the "replacement head" mean?Tired of throwing an entire toothbrush away every few months? Well, here is your answer. The Source Toothbrush utilizes the replacement head technology. Keep the handle and replace the head. The head and neck are a separate piece from the handle that can be easily removed. Are the replacement heads the same size as the Original and Scuba toothbrushes?The replacement heads are 50% smaller than the Original and Scuba, but they still contain 65% more bristles than ordinary toothbrushes. The non-aligned bristle layout helps to avoid tooth erosion. Radial bristling, 50% less plastic in the head, and "Slim Neck" allows brushing in tight spaces.

Will I receive 1 of every handle in a 3 pack?Handle combinations are based upon inventory at the time of packaging. RADIUS cannot guarantee any handle combination or that you will receive 1 of every handle. Please note that you may receive double of a handle in the assortment. About Radius ToothbrushRADIUS was founded on the Caribbean island of Tortola. James O'Halloran and Kevin Foley were architects who were fascinated by the idea of a functional and enjoyable toothbrush. They were appalled at the small head, hard toothbrushes of the day. Research indicates that the major problem in oral hygiene is that of compliance - people don't use toothbrushes for long enough and tend to keep their toothbrush for too long. Dentists believe that with diligence teeth and gums could be perfectly maintained for a lifetime. The average brushing time is from 31 to 65 seconds, depending on age or sex. The average toothbrush is thrown away after 10 months. RADIUS aimed to make the toothbrush comfortable,enjoyable and effective. With a mass of very soft bristles, a large head area for low pressure brushing and a comfortable handle, this toothbrush would let you brush lightly and accurately.

How many times have we seen James Bond pick up some incredibly useful new technological gadget that ends up saving his life, only to completely forget it exists in his next movie? But it isn't just Bond -- action heroes do this all the time. Some cool new technology is introduced for the sake of one scene, then dumped in a basement and never mentioned again.
If you stop to think about it, it turns out that a lot of these gadgets and inventions wouldn't just make the lives of our heroes a lot easier -- some of them might even change the world.
5The Paralyzing Device in Iron Man Is a Bigger Deal Than the Suit
The Tech
When the bad guy of your film is Jeff Bridges with a Lex Luthor haircut and the good guy is a genius in a rocket-powered war costume, you know you're going to have to level the playing field a bit. One of the ways the first Iron Man movie does that is by giving the villain a little electronic device that emits a high-frequency sound that paralyzes whoever hears it for 15 minutes.
Obadiah Stane (Bridges) uses this twice in the film: once to defeat some terrorist guy, and the second time to freeze his business partner Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in order to steal the heart battery that keeps him alive and powers his Iron Man suit. According to Obadiah's Bond-villain rant, the device was created by their company and rejected for use by the military, so presumably he just pocketed a prototype and has been using it as his own version of Rophynol since then.
"Did you honestly think this was just a beard war, Tony?"
The Bullshit
Holy shit, Obadiah is right, the Army should have totally jumped on that. It's a freaking nonlethal way to totally immobilize enemies, resulting in no apparent side effects. Sounds can be amplified, right? Load one of those into a tank and give your soldiers those nifty earplugs Obadiah uses, and war has just become 100 percent easier. In fact, you know what else that would look great on? A fucking crime-fighting robot suit.
"Look, I only had enough room for that or the porn. I made the right call."
Tony's entire objective in this movie is stopping his company from building things that kill people. As Iron Man, he deals constantly with situations where civilian casualties are an issue -- we see him dealing with hostage takers in this film by utilizing a sick multi-kill sharpshooting device from his shoulder. It's wicked boss, but probably not as boss at the whole "not killing people" thing.
But hell, that instant-immobilization device would actually be a hell of a lot more useful to an army than that super-expensive Iron Man suit. Even in the films, there's no conflict that couldn't benefit from this device. Every villain that Iron Man has fought so far was a person who had ears, and that means they were all susceptible to this.
"Mind waiting for me there for 15 minutes while I get something to drink?"
"... shit."
And how about the new Avengers film? Does this work on Norse gods? Even if it doesn't, it certainly could have taken down Hawkeye when he was all possessed, not to mention Loki's countless human henchmen, as well as the out-of-control Hulk. Tony could have solved the entire movie by himself without having to calling in the other guys if he hadn't completely forgotten that this revolutionary technology existed.
