What is going on?  iOS 5.1 cuts my iPhone 4's battery by half

I have my iPhone for a year now but as I am a light user, I have always been able to use my iPhone for 3 days on a single charge.
Yesterday I updated to iOS5, my phone battery only last me 1.5 day. 
This is scary and it is obviously a software issue.  Is this happening to everyone else????????

Of course it's not happening to everyone else.  Look in the "More Like This" box to your right or search this forum.  There are many posts out there dealing with battery issues and how to solve them.

    What's going on with safari on ipad and iphone not connecting?

    I am using safari on my iPad to respond here. What problems are you having? Do you have a good wifi connection? Try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go.

  • TS2800 how can I see what is going to be included in the next iphone backup to icloud?

    The "playhead indicator" is a twofold tool. Click on the "clock" icon and it switches to Project Length:
    You can click and drag on the time clock to increase the project length if you need to see what's going on beyond your Play Range.
    The image below is an overview of parts. The Timeline view is opened to reveal layer timing.
    The "mini timeline" (the bar under the canvas above the clock) shows the entire project length. Usually that's the same length as the default Play Range. Use the play head clock to add more time if you need to reveal longer media "tails". You will not change the Play Range by doing so (you'll have to do that "manually"). You can even Share/Export your project with respect to Play Range as opposed to Project Length (there's a drop down option for that upon export.)
    If you're creating a template, FCPX only "sees" the play range.
    It's not a cool one-click option... it's just the way it is in Motion.

    Have you tried doing turning the battery level display off and then General -> "Reset all settings"? You won't loose any data and that should do the trick.

  • After Updating the iOS 7.04 on my iPhone 4s drain battery quickly on standby mode & also doesn't respond volume up button, why?

    After Updating the iOS 7.04 on my iPhone 4S drain battery quickly even on standby mode & also doesn't respond volume up button, why?

    My battery problem woes continues to persist.  Yesterday, I had about 85-90% battery life in the morning.  A couple hours later when I looked at the phone it was down to 65%.  At that point, I shut off wi-fi, bluetooth, and background app refresh.  I received one call shortly after that.  The call lasted about two minutes.  My battery was now down to 40%.  Another hour later, down to 16%!  Here's the kicker:  I plugged in the phone to a charger and it jumped to 65% in a matter of minutes.  I unplugged the phone and within a couple of hours it was back down to around 30%.  I plugged it in again and within 10 minutes it was up to 75%.
    At first glance it looks very much like a hardware issue.  However, I never had this problem until I upgraded to 7.0.4.  Also, the above battery roller coaster ride isn't a constant.  That is, it seems that only sometimes this happens.  So...I'm thinking it's either an app running in the background eating up juice (though I have Background App Referesh turned off) or the iOS is buggy. 

  • What is the newest iOS coming out for the iPhone?

    No one could know such a thing unless Apple announces, which is very rare.
    Apple has not announced any new ios.

  • IOS 6.1.2 for iPhone 4s draining battery?

    I downloaded iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4s a few days ago when my phone told me it was time to update. Now all I get is 17 minutes of usage and 6 hours of standby when I used to get at least 18 hours of standby and 6 hours of usage before my phone needed a charge. This is very frustrating. My phone is 8 months old. I don't use mail on it. I've seen some people have problems with mail being the reason why their battery drains. I lock my phone when I'm done using it, I have the brightness down, I go through and delete background activity every couple days. This shouldn't be happening. Does anyone else have this problem and has anything fixed it?

  • What happens if i plug a charger into an iPhone with no battery in it?

    i have a 1st gen iPhone that i bought cheap on ebay as it has no battery in it. i am planning on fixing it but i wanted to check out it worked first. i know some phones can work off the mains if theyre plugged in with no battery but these are usually phones with user removable batteries. i dont wanna fry the motherboard or anything because a new one is really expensive so im asking first.

  • What is going on with 6.0.2 exchanged two phones today in store all with battery draining issue problem

    Guys, what is going on two phones exchanged in store today all had battery draining problems once phone updated to iOS 6.0.2.
    First phone wouldn't last 3 hours usage even in plane mode function.
    Second phone bit better battery life 3 hours 15 minutes usage No Apps installed on both phone and location turn off even setup as new phone.

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • I have 2 iphones on one itunes account. I just upgraded both to ios 8 and now the messages i receive come through to both phones when they used to be seperated. What is going on here?

    I have 2 iphones on one itunes account. I just upgraded both to ios 8 and now the messages i receive come through to both phones when they used to be separated. What is going on here?

    I noticed the same problem after upgrading a few iPhones to IOS 8, all use the same Apple ID.  However, I now notice when I go into Message and instead of selecting a person from my contact list, I start typing their name which brings up a list of people, some of which are not in my contact list and are on one of the other iPhones. There's a circle/exclamation point next to the name which I click on, and one of the options is to "Remove from Recent". How did these names get from one phone to another and how do I remove all "recents"? They do not appear in my contact list. Anyone see this?

  • Since updating to iOS 6, my iPad 2 keeps loosing connection with iTunes. I have tried changing the date, logging out then back in, iTunes is updated.....what's going on???? I can't update any apps nor can I download new ones.....

    What's going on with iOS6...... Since I updated to it, I have had nothing but hassles....

    Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
    If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
    If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • Help two macs with identical setup and one does not receive phone calls using Yosemite and iOS 8.1 on iPhone 6. What is going on Apple?

    Ive got an imac from 2008 and MBPr from 2013. the imac does indeed receive regular calls but the newer  mac, the MBPr from 2013 does not.
    what is going on apple?
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), iOS 8.1

    i got it. I fixed it by setting Time Zone in automatically in both iphone and MBC
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences > Date & Time > Date & Time.
    Enable "Set Automatically".
    Click the Time Zone tab and confirm the closest city is correct.
    do the same in the iphone and it will work 

  • I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

    I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

    You can't open it meaning it does not launch when you tap on the app icon? If that's what's happening try this and then see if Safari will launch.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    Now close Safari. To close Safari, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari and then swipe "up" on the Safari thumbnail app to close it.
    Now reboot the iPad. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If Safari does launch and this isn't what you are experiencing - you need to explain in more detail what is going on.
