IPhone 4/iOS 5: Constant usage time increase while phone is in standby.

When connected to any of the 3 WiFi access points at my job site, the phone's usage time meter increments constantly even with the phone is in standby. I have tested repeatedly for periods of one hour, and at the end of an hour, there will be only roughly 4-6 minutes of difference between the Usage and Standby meters). The problem does not occur while the phone is connected to my WiFi network at home, and only happens if the phone is set to back up via WiFi on the home network. If I revert to backing up only via USB, the problem goes away. This was happening with iOS 5.0 and continues with 5.0.1 . Any help would be appreciated, since there is considerable battery drain that comes with whatever the phone is doing during this "usage" time, and I've had to resort to turning WiFi on and off constantly while at work.

i would say 15 minutes is enough. if more than that, put to dfu mode back and try restore. extra info if ios 5.1 fail to be downloaded, try read this http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/09/cant-download-ios-5-1-try-these-fixes/

Has anybody experienced missing sent emails after updating their iPhone to IOS 5.0? Mail composed on phone appears to send but is never delivered nor does it show in sent items. Using Exchange 2010. Any thoughts??

@Satterp
Not sure if you were responding to me or OP - my iPhone is on 5.1. The OP at the time of writing was on 5.0.1.
Also, the OP and I had setup our Hotmail as an Exchange server (similar to IMAP), not POP3.

I have a problem with the battery and my iPhone 4S is restarting all the time. The phone was bought in June 2012 in LA. What can I do?

Since your iPhone is still under the one year warranty contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store to get a replacement.

Iphone 6 plus the battery usage times are erased when you turn off and back on iphone

i´m desperate. this has already happened with 4 new different iphone. I have it a week ago and suddenly when i turn it on un the morning i deleted the hours of use and standby battery. I get two hyphens . Reloading up to 100% and the counter is reset. but when you come back off and on again disappears again use times.I restored, reset settings and many other things but can not find the solution. has passed me at least 4 different iphones and the truth is that leads me crazy. someone could help me because in support anyone give me a solution.
many thanks. you are the only option left for me to discover something so rare and unanswered.
PD: so if I have observed is that when new and still has not restored works well. I have been working well so far that restored cleanly to put him last update. iphone latter came with 8.1 installed and use it for a week and did not fail. the problem appeared to restore and put him 8.1.1 . others began to fail after restore and do a clean install because it came with the iOS 8 and your so cleanly actualizer 8.1

i have an iphone 6 plus and i just powered it off and and back on (by using the sleep/wake button) and the slide to power off - usage time/stand by time was preserved
if you reset and iphone (holding sleep/wake and home buttons until Apple logo appears - you will see those dashes until the next time the iPhone is charged backup to 100% - this has been the behavior with every iPhone i have owned (and Ive owned every one since the original

Usage time increases without using

Hi, my iphone 5c was updated to ios7.0.6 days before. And now the ¨usage time¨ will accumulate even without using, usually with standby time like 8 hr and usage time 4 hr during I am sleeping.
Is there anyone having the same problem as mine?

Only reason i'm bringing this up is because I'm use to seeing 100% battery in the morning after fully charging before bed, but now i'm seeing like 96%.
If you charge your phone to 100% and then leave it unplugged while you sleep it is normal for it to be less than 100% when you wake up as it is still on and is using the radio inside to maintain a cellular connection. Even in Airplane Mode the device is still on (it will be less noticeable as the radios are off)
I did recently upgrade to 4.2.1 not sure if that has anyhting to do with it?
Nothing to do with it that I am aware of.
Restoring will not fix this as there is really nothing to fix...

IPhone 6 (iOS 8.1) hot and is draining battery, even on standby.

Greetings Everyone,
I'm having a really bad time here with my iPhone 6 4.7" iOS 8.1 device. It all started a few days ago, i was noticing that only at 100% the battery seemed to be just fine, but once it dropped just 1% of the 100% it would drain to 0% in 10 hours standby time. I thought that was kinda odd, so i decided to completely drain my battery till my device turned off to see if it would help to charge from absolute 0. That didn't fix the problem either, i went online and searched around the web for what might cause high battery drains on the device, and i found that restoring the device as a new device should fix many problems, since many apps for the new iOS seemed to drain the battery quite quick due to some bugs or something. So i did that but with no luck. I tried to turn off all background updates, disable parallels effect and what not, and still the battery drained like a maniac EVEN on standby.
I went on and researched some more, i then came across one of the new features iOS 8 supplied, that is the battery usage feature where you can see your battery usage for each individual app as well as up-time on standby and in use. And this is when i discovered something really odd, even after recovering my phone, setting everything to stock, turning off all connections (AirPlane mode) and turned off effects (parallels) which could cause a slight battery drain, and putting the device on standby - both the standby and usage time showed the same amount of usage of 9 hours and 47 minutes. And yes to no surprise my phone is getting really hot, i can feel it through my pants, heating up my thigh.
I have tried restoring it through DFU mode, through iTunes and i'm pretty much out of ideas on how to solve this problem. Anyone has any idea on what might be causing this and how to fix it? Or should i just go to the store and hope for them to replace my device? :-)

I had the same problem. I realized that it had everything to do with my calendar app. My iCalendar was having a difficult time fetching information from my Outlook and Yahoo Calendar. Causing my battery percentage to decline at a very rapid rate. (50% in a 4 hour time frame). I resolved the problem by going into my Settings >" Messaging , Contact , Calendar" Setting > Clicking on one of my selected Accounts ( Outlook or Yahoo) and turning off the Calendar Sync. The problem seemed to go away after doing this. Now I'm only using 4% battery life in a 4 hour time frame in StandBy Mode. Well I Can only hope that this will help resolve the battery drainage issue. Good Luck ....

Phone usage time increase even when the screen is off?i''m using iphone 5s gold

Is it possible?

I feel like an idiot for not having spotted this - it was indeed the problem. Not sure when/how I turned this on in the first place but the issue is now fixed.
It's pretty easy to do accidentally if you swipe up the Control Center without meaning to. I also turn of my BT by accident this way every now and then.

IPhone 4s iOs 6 data usage problems on Verizon

Last night around 6PM I lifted the usage controls on my teenage cousin's iphone 4s. We had never set a data limit for the phone because she only uses it for internet when at home on the wifi network. We only had it on her phone to be able to block unwanted numbers, but the feature also allows customers to set data caps, internet restrictions by age ect.
Prior to last night her usuage was minimal. However, within 6 hrs of the usuage control being lifted suddenly I was notified we'd hit 50% of our 6g data plan. In the morning when I woke up I had a text saying we'd hit 75% of our usage plan. I logged into Verizon and it indicated she had consumed 4.6g.
I spoke with Verizon and the first reprepresenative told me that this was a known iOs 6 issue for iphones and asked me to check if the phone was using the that operating system. She said if it was Verizon would be giving credits to customers because it was a known issue. I hung up, called my aunt and learned that in fact iOs 6 was installed. She also confirmed that the phone settings had not changed. It was still only using wifi. Verizon data usage remained turned off.
I called Verizon back and spoke with a second representative who then told me that it was not an iOs 6 issue, but just an iPhone 5 issue. She said the previous information given to me was incorrect; it was hardware and not operating system based problem. I then reapplied usage controls and went in to set a data limit, for the first time, and discovered that the iPhone's data usage had now reached 5.4g of 6g. I still have 18 days left on my billing cycle and just .6g of data remaining. It seems crazy to me that I should have to set a cap on data usage for a phone using wifi to prevent that phone from maxing out verizon data, but that is what I have done until I can get to the bottom of this
The rep told me to visit Apple for further details. I also googled it and found stories on CNN and TheNextWeb reporting instances where individuals with the iOs 6 on iphone 4s were also experiencing problems, but nothing concrete on how to resolve it.
Can someone please clarify for me what is going on or where I can find a solution to this.
Thank you in advance.

The second rep is a moron. Yes it is a software issue and not just an iphone 5 one.
Something you didn't mention is what carrier software version is on the iphone. Verizon sent out a settings update around Oct 5th because of this issue. I believe you should be on 13.1. it's definitely something.1
I've heard talk if you go Settings-General-About it will OTA load the update but I'm not certain about this. Frankly I would wipe the phone and set it up new. During the restore iTunes should check that the software is up to date and find the carrier updates. Make sure your cousin has all her photos, contacts etc. And warn her that she'll lose her texts. Although I have heard if you google around someone figured out how to erase everything but backups from an iTunes backup file. That was for iOS 5 as I recall but it might still work. So have her do a backup in iTunes, duplicate it and play if you feel techie enough.

IPhone 5 iOS 6.0.2 timer clock not working

I have problem with my timer. If it's less than an hour, it's fine. If more than an hour something not right. It doesn't even move. When I set 1:45:00 it shows as h:1:44:a
And is battery drainage going to be fix on the next iOS? My battery drain fast!!

I am having this exact same problem but on my iPhone 4S on iOS 6.0.1
I believe that this error began to occur since the new year as I did not have any problem prior, in 2012.
I have also noticed that this occurs on the stopwatch as well when it goes above 1 hour.
Is there a solution for this?

IPhone 6--iOS 8.0.1 update broke my phone--"No Service" and touch id doesn't work

I installed the 8.0.1 update immediately, hoping it would fix an annoying pop-up that I had about being unable to download something.
Instead, after installing, I quickly found out touch id stopped working, and more importantly, I have NO carrier service whatsoever. I can't make or get calls, can't get or send texts, no data.
What is the deal? How long is this going to last? I only just got service Monday after my number port request took days to go through. I can't even get emergency calls from family at this point. I've paid for Verizon for 5 days, now and only had one full day of actual service!

This is not a Verizon issue.
http://www.apple.com/support
Look under the iOS forum section. Issues and solutions and fixes are listed there.
Your not having cellular could be due to a bad port, or you may need to reset your network connection from settings-cellular from your iPhone.
Most issues I have found are changes to your device settings.
However Apple provides the update so that is where I would go to get solutions.
Good Luck

I tried to update my iphone to ios 7.2.1 and now my phone is frozen what do i do!?

HELP

Reset the iPhone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If you can unlock your iPhone now, tap Settings > General > About then scroll to: Version
If it still says the 7.1.1, then the update was not applied.
Use Recovery Mode. You can restore from a backup > iOS: Unable to update or restore

Text message time stamp while phone is off

Does anyone know how to find out when a text message was actually sent by the person who sent it to you? I turn my phone off at night and sometimes for short periods during the day and when I turn it on I get several text messages at once. However it says that they were sent/received at the time I turned on my phone which I know isn't the case. On my old phone, the lg dare, it would say when the person actually sent it along with when I received it even if my phone was off. Its not a huge deal but it would be nice to know so I know if they have been waiting for a response for a while. Thanks!!

Hey there techfan14! If I understand correctly, you would like to know when messages are sent to your phone (esp. when the phone is off). I can tell you that the time and date that a message was sent to your phone is not available to Verizon Wireless customers. We can show you when the message is delivered, whether the phone is on or off. That is available through My Verizon online under usage details. Thanks for bringing your question to the VZW Community!

Usage time

I noticed that the usage time increases even when the phone is on standby and no application in MT, push email and notifications are disabled. I wanted to know if everybody does it or if that is my trouble. Thank you.

If you restored it from the backup of an older iPhone, it picked up the lifetime usage from that.

HT201401 The clock on my iPhone 5C is not updating the time

The clock on my iPhone 5C is not updating the time unless the phone is totally turned off and rebooted, or the airplane mode is turned on for a few seconds and then turned off. A "reset" and a full "erase all..." did not help. Any ideas?

Time comes from the cell tower.
Check Settings > General > Date & Time >
Set Automatically: ON?
