5.0.1 update--even worse battery life

After upgrading to 5.0.1 my iPhone is draining the battery even faster! Anyone else seeing this problem?

ROFL WHAT AN FAKE-PLACEBO!!!!
Yesterday I applied the Fix 5.0.1.
Do you guys remember the "ANTENNAGATE" Fix where Apple was just has changed the display for the signal bars strength? ROFL?
They did it same here with battery.
After I intsalled the 5.0.1 full discharge and recharge, I´s able to hold the 100% up to 25 min talking/surfing/emailing. After that it drops to 98% instantly, then it continues dropping so fast I cant believe!!! Apple just changed the display of the battery status....

absolutely that is frustrating. if the battery life is fine there could be two things software or hardware. to find out if your back up your information in itunes and import pictures and then restore the phone as NEW then you can test it out. if it is still shutting off it is hardware related

2.1 Update - Worse battery life?

So, I updated to 2.1 Friday, and noticed my iPhone getting warm, and the battery was draining really fast. Over the weekend I tried re-restoring it, and still had it drain really fast. Today, I went in an swapped out the phone, and got back to the office and updated to 2.1 again. Almost the same thing, except within a span of maybe 2 hours, I was down to half battery. I used to go almost 2 days without a charge before, and it was never noticeably warm. What's the deal? Any way to downgrade to 2.0.1 or whatever?

I don't think any of the issues have to do much with build week other than actual defective units. Unlike regular cell phones, iPhones can host so many different applications combinations that it's likely those combinations (and especially how they've been installed can lead to problems). Apple for that reason has tried to keep each application in it's own silo. In the end you can't completey really because the main OS still need to know the software is there.
Anyhow, as for battery issues, software definitely can improve battery life. Not only can you make code more efficient and hence take less clock cycles, on a phone you can tune how the phone communicates with the network. This last part is probably where they potentially squeezed more power for some users by allowing the phone to make a connection with a weaker signal. Depending on where people are and how they use their phone, some of the battery tweaks may do nothing. Personally I think for most users the changes have not done all that much. My battery life seems about the same.

Why does my iPad 2 get worse battery life with iOS 7???

This new update has way too much white on the screen even when fully dimmed it seems to use more battery than before. Can there be an update to change that?
And in case anybody asks, NO, my battery has been properly taken care of. Charged perfectly each time. So that's not the issue.

Don't know how much the tips in this article http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/ might help but it's worth a look.

Ipod touch 5th generation update iOS 8 Battery Life

I have recently upgraded to iOS 8 about three days ago and my battery charging time has become longer. It now takes a couple of hours to charge from 20% to 40-50%. It now takes forever to change the battery from red to green. I use to be able to see the difference in color in about 15 to 20 minutes. Also, when I plug in my ipod at 50% battery life, I go back to check on it and the battery is less than 20% even thought it was 50% and plugged in. The amount of battery at the top of the battery does not seem to increase even when plugged in. Should I take my ipod to Best Buy or an Apple store? or could I fix it myself or possibly wait until a new update happens? Anything on tips or directions will be greatly appreciated to fix this! Thanks!

I had an ipod touch 5th generation. I plugged it in at 18% and checked back 5 hours later, 47%. I checked six hours after that and it said 96%. I was looking at it and wondering why it was doing that and i noticed a cosmetic issue i haven't seen before on this model, it BENT. I went to an apple store, explaned the the problem, and since I had it for less than a year, they replaced it for free. I was running IOS 8 and then 8.0.2. I never had a charge problem with ios 7 so the one I got from the store came with 7.1.1. I believe the battery was swollen.

New update fixes heat & battery life???

Seems to for me....the airport/security upgrade that is. My MBP def seems to have better battery life and seems to run a little cooler. Strange, but i'm not complaining.

Updates do not decrease battery life.
Why do you believe such a silly thing?

3gs 5.0.1 update degrades my battery life in about 2-3 hours. HELP send me a fix!

I downloaded the 5.0.1 upgrade a few days ago and just in 2-3 hours I loose almost all my battery life even if I shut down all apps. Whats going on and how do I fix this?

Do you have wifi syncing turned on? Is your itunes always open?
There is a glitch with the iPad where, as long and anytime iTunes is open, it'll sync...like once an hour or some such rate.
Originally the wifi syncing was only supposed to take place if the device is plugged into power, but that's not the case. If I have my iTunes open my iPad will try to sync almost continuously.
So check your wifi sync and iTunes settings (my iTunes used to be set to open automatically when the device is connected, I had to change it to only open when I do it manually because in the course of an evening's surfing my iPad opened my iTunes and started to sync three different times until I turned it off)
If you have iCloud syncing enabled that may also be contributing to your battery issues. I don't sync over iCloud, I tried it but after it ate all my contacts, I stopped using it. However, if the same glitch is present, the device trying to continually sync even when not plugged into power, that could also be part of your drain.

N95 Updated software causing Battery life issues

Hi
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
I Updated my software on my N95 (silver) to V13.0.003 but since doing so the battery life has suffered,it hardly lasts half a day just on standby, where as before I'd get 2 days at least. Bluetooth is turned off Wlan searching is off there is nothing running except Standby mode.
I've also tried a different battery, and get the same results.
Any ideas?

N95 Silver, I guess is the N95-1 or 3, both have newer firmware versions.
For N95-1 (RM-159) the last version is 30.0.015 and for the N95-3 is the 20.0.something. Both versions improves a lot the battery life and speed of the devices.
Check your last version with Nokia Software Updater.
Don't forget to make a backup of all your data before updating.
Remember that not all versions are available for all the product codes.
Cheers!

HT1222 how much does this update redu e battery life?

how much battery life does iday update loose?

An update is never designed to reduce battery life. A small handful of users complain about battery issues with every single update.

Significantly worse battery life on Mavericks

I posted this oringally in another thread and was recommended to start a new one.
I have a mid 2012 mbp and upgraded to mavericks the day it was released from ML.
Since then my battery life has been absolutely horrendous. Get around ~2 hours or so on one charge... Pretty dissapointed. I am super busy so I do not have time or energy to format and reinstall mountain lion until christmas time.
Any advice would be great. I went into terminal and disabled indexing following this guide as recommended in another post:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/stopspotlightindex.html
Still nothing. Activity monitor does not show anything significant running in the background either.
I am pretty upset/****** off as the only benefical thing to me in the OS (of all the new features) was apples claims of increased battery life lol.... that didnt really work out.
Anyways here are my specs:
Model Name:
MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:
MacBookPro9,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:
2.6 GHz
Number of Processors:
1
Total Number of Cores:
4
L2 Cache (per Core):
256 KB
L3 Cache:

Let me know if anyone needs any additional specs or anything. I have a 1TB hdd installed as well.

The other thread has degenerated into a predictable and unproductive rant-fest that won't help anyone.
Check your Activity Monitor to determine the relative "Energy Impact" of various apps as in the following:
One or more may be obvious, or not.
Some users have reported an SMC reset to be beneficial. Read SMC reset.
Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem unimportant or trivial.

Re: HTC Rezound update has shortened battery life and causing device to run hot anyone having issues?

budone pointed me in the right direction but I think tidbits pushed him off with apps and clearing cache. Battery app definitely showed me what the issue was.
Battery monitor and phone built in monitor shows phone call usage above 25%. I don't use my phone for hours a day (320 minutes / 4 = 80 minutes talk time). So why is my phone polling Verizon towers so often? Issue also prevented phone from sleeping correctly. So, SIM/firmware conflict. The update pushed a radio setting in the phone to a CDMA + LTE/EvDO auto which was to correct the SIM/reboot issue.
Thread detailing boot loop issue and fix, forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php
My phone was already set to a correct radio setting prior to the update. When the update was pushed I had my phone in 3G/CMDA to maintain the battery. This update forced a setting and restarted phone and caused a SIM/firmware conflict. Now my phone will go into a boot loop when it drains below 20% and in CDMA(3G). 4G LTE it will run fine. Why? Still attempting to isolate that. I don't think I can unless I have developer access and root the phone. I will not be doing this knowing that there is a manufacturer/carrier defect on my device and they are on the chain for it's repair at the moment. Software, phones firmware agree that it is a CDMA + LTE/EvDO device but SIM has to be removed, phone booted without, TURN OFF, reseat SIM and power on to fix boot loop after charging for a while every day so far. Verizon why am I troubleshooting an issue that your techs should have figured out before pushing a manufacture update? I am paying for Verizon service because it's better than Sprint and AT&T but not cheaper in my area! Where is the Verizon rep with assistance?

Could be something with the new verizon location service that was introduced with the update. So far, I haven't heard exactly what it does, but if it is polling the towers for your location, that could be the issue. Personally, I haven't had any problems since the update, if it wasn't for the extra signal bar, I probably wouldn't even notice. However, the battery over heating is a common problem with the Rezound and, from what I hear, Verizon is being pretty good about replacing batteries for anyone having an issue.

Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? How can this problem be solved?

Dear all,
I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
Thanks for your help.

If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content.

Firmware 2.1 update - Battery life

If for no other reason, I'm grateful my batter life is almost double, if not more, than what it was before.
Thankyou guys...

Right, I should have been more precise. However, the hypothesis was that something was running in the background which drained the battery. The first mark against this hypothesis is that my battery life was fine prior to the 2.1 upgrade, and I didn't change any settings post upgrade. Let's assume that the 2.1 upgrade changed something without my knowledge - so let's go through the items you mentioned:
- Time and Date: these were set to "Set Automatically" before the upgrade, so maybe Apple has changed the frequency and this is burning battery? In any case, this would still qualify as "worse after upgrade"
- Calendar events: I have no notifications today, so this likely isn't the problem, unless, again Apple is checking for notifications more frequently, which would again qualify as "worse after upgrade"
- ipod: this wasn't running in the backgroud, it was off for the full 3:18 between full charge and 20% warning, so likely not responsible
- phone calls: I had 3 < 2 minute calls on it in the 3:18 between full charge and 20% warning. Likely not responsible, unless 3G is using waaay more juice
So, this still appears to be worse battery life after upgrade.
