Battery life after iOS 6.1 update

After Updating to iOS 6.1, my phone decided to black out with 24% battery an the only way I fixed it was to have someone call me while it was plugged in. That was the only time the screen worked. I have also noticed on that day my battery didn't last all day like normal but instead was dead by hour 4-5 of usage. Yesterday, my battery life also continued to be a problem and now this morning even when plugged in the battery says 100% only sometimes, the rest of the time it stops at 98%. So I unplugged it and tried it again and it kept happening. Would say 100% then if replugged in would say 98%. So my iPhone started the day with only taking three hours to die from full battery and after recharge and unplugging it is at 98%, not 100%. Thoughts?

The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
Standard troubleshooting is:
Re-boot the phone
Restore the phone from your backup
Restore the phone as a new device.
One of the 3 should fix the problem.

Is anyone else having problems with their battery life after IOS 7.1 software update?

After the software update IOS 7.1, my iPhone 5 battery life has been terrible. I've turned off all push notifications and location services (basically everything that would affect the battery life). I've done an optimization test and have restored my iPhone and lowered my brightness. My phone has been standby for 5 hours and it's at 54%. Before IOS 7.1, it lasted the entire day before it even hit 50%. I just wanted to know if anyone else is having the same issue. I really don't know if it's the software or the battery itself.

Mines fine, I did a hard reset after the update and with both bluetooth and wifi and celluar data on I am geting slightly better battery life on my iPhone 5s. right now Im at 83% with 1 hour and 24 mins useage and 1 day 14 hours standbye. Siome apps leach battery life so check whats using background app refresh and notifications, apps like facebook and also GPS useage suck your phone dry quickly.

No wifi and horrible battery life after iOS 7 install on iPhone 4S!

After the iOS 7 install on my iPhone 4S, my battery life is markedly worse and my phone will not connect to my home wifi. Every other device, including my wife's iPhone 5 and two iPad 2's, still connect perfectly. Please help. I wish I could go back to 6.1.3.

I've had issues since the upgrade too-messages wouldn't load, phone locked up and would turn off at random times. Then I noticed my data usage going up a ton in one day and checked and it wasn't connecting to my home wifi. Called tech support and they went through all the troubleshooting they could find and nothing helped. Had to go upgrade. You might try to reset your network settings, but that didn't help with mine

IPhone 4S short battery life after iOS 5.1

The battery of my iPhone 4S started to discharge more quickly after I downloaded iOS 5.1, but before it was OK. My location services, notifications, push and wi-fi are all off, but even if I don't use my phone, the battery life is shorter than it was before. Please help me with this issue! What can I do?

I am very sorry, but what do you mean by switching off the data connection completely? You mean switch off the wi-fi function? Sorrry, I just didn't get..

Horrible battery life after 10.8.4 update?

Computer: 2010 MacBook Pro 15"
OSx version: 10.8.4
I updated my computer yesterday to OSx 10.8.4.
While I was on 10.8.3 after a startup with nothing running my mac showed 5-7 hours or so of battery life.
With 10.8.4 it now shows 2-3 hours if im lucky after a startup with nothing running.
As I post this I started at 100%, I have been using my computer for not even 20 min now and its down to 80%
The computer shows the battery condition is normal, and my energy saver settings are optimized with graphic swithcing, hard disk sleep, etc..
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

In that case I suggest reinstalling OS X:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This will install 10.8.4 (or should.) If this does not help, either, then take the computer in for service.

Reduced Battery Life After 10.6.8 Update - a Solution!

After updating to the latest version of Snow Leopard on my MBA13", my battery life plummeted suddenly from 7-9 hours to 2-3 hours. Genius Bar people replaced the battery under warranty but that made zip difference.
Exploring further I found that the Dock was running the CPU almost constantly at 100% and the fan was going berserk. Kept the breakfast warm though :-). Tracing it further, Parallels (ver 6) was the culprit. I did the following:
1:     Launched Parallels;
2:     Clicked the Virtual Machine (VM) menu;
3:     Went to the Options section;
4:     Removed Parallels from the Dock (left my desktop icon for it alone) by unchecking the 'Show Windows Applications Folder in Dock';
5:     Restarted the machine.
Result?
Dock usage of CPU back to normal, fan silent, breakfast cold, and battery life back to 7-9 hours. JOY!!!

Did the problem persist with the latest version - ParallelsDesktop-parallels-en_US-6.0.12092.670880 - ? If so then you should report this to Parallels as there may be more things needing fixing to eliminate this problem completely.
Oh, and this info is from Kappy, not MacBookProHayden.

Iphone 4s battery melts after ios 7.1

Last Friday I've upgraded to IOS 7.1. especially after learning that the upgrade is especially helpful for iphone 4s,
Yes it fastens the device but the battery "melts"
I've searched the issue from the web and applied all the suggestions to improve battery life after ios 7.1.
If I don't use internet facilities (even wi-fi) its OK, no problem,
But from the moment I begin to use wi-fi or cellular its like a count down 95-94-93-92...., feel really bad about it,
Now I just use it as a "phone" not a smart phone,
If a want to use it as a "smart phone" it is no longer a mobile- I shoul use it with battery charger,
Hope a fix will come as soon as possible,

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
If this doesn't help, back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in your backup file or maybe it's one of your apps causing problems. If it continues, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

IPod Touch 5th gen suddenly has terrible battery life after updating to ios 8.0.2!

I updated to ios 8.0.2 around 2 weeks ago and bam! the next day I wake up and use my ipod (I usually leave it on during the night, and battery is still good) and it's down to 50%, then to 20% later! And now the battery is terrible! it goes down much faster than before! I have bluetooth and all the battery killer stuff off before, so my battery was really good...and now it's horrible!
Have you guys experienced this? Any solutions? Is this some bug?

What was your battery reading right after the update when you unplugged the phone? I have never let my Maxx drain further than 20% battery ever before I charge it. Yesterday after the update I also played more with the phone trying to learn the OS, as did most everyone on this forum. Give it a few days of your normal use before you decide your battery life has decreased. I took my phone off charger today at noon, it was 100%, and now it's 80%, with about 30 min talk time, and mostly standby. that's about normal batt life for me, maybe a little better than before the update. I'm still going to watch it for a few days before I make a conclusion about battery life.
