5 days old iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 battery life please help

My phone is 5 days old and i am so fed up with battery life. I disabled all data settings and location services and i have nothing in notification center for any push notification. But still i lost 40% of the battery in half a day with just 5 mins of voice call and 15 mins of texting. Phone was idle the rest of the time and when i used i had brightness at around just 10-15% this is my first iPhone and totally disappointed as i saw battery to last a full day of normal usage in the internet. I am totally fed up with apple. What should i do now ? I am a student and invested an year's savings of mine to get this phone. I am totally fed up. Someone please help me.

You have to tell us what your usage pattern is like, what your reception/signal strength is, and what network type you are using (E/3G/4G/LTE)
To note, the more the screen is on (in long intervals 2+ minutes) the shorter the battery life is.
Streaming music over 3G will last 6 hours if the screen stays off for most of that time.
Email, messages, web browsing will last most of the day.
Since you have GSM, your phone should last 10 hours with light usage.

Ios 5 caused awful battery life. HELP!!

Hi, so i updated my iphone 4 to ios 5. However, now the battery life is absolute abysmal. Playing 'crime city' for one minute made me lose 5% battery. But more importantly, even when i'm not using it at all i lose around 20% an hour. I fell asleep with 100% battery life, yet woke up to a dead phone. It also takes ages to charge my phone up. Why is this?!?! My iphone is virtually unusable with the ios 5. Any tips, at all??

I've had the same problem since upgrading to iOS 5. I did a Google search and came across a post by someone that did some troubleshooting to find the source of the problem. The issue appears to be with iCloud. For some reason it runs a constant data stream to the phone and drains the battery at the same time. I had to turn off my cellular data connection because iOS 5 somehow burned through 90% of my 200mb data plan in 2 days. I deleted the iCloud account from my phone this morning, so we'll see if that has any effect next time I'm on wi-fi.

Two day old iPod 30 gb CLICKWHEEL NOT WORKING! PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi,
I recieved my ipod video 30gb two days back. Today I was listening to it via externally powered speakers when I needed to go out. I pulled the speakers off and plugged in my earphones and it kept playing. When I decided to change the song, it would not respond at all.
I went ahead with the 5 Rs. But now after restore it is stuck on the language selection screen! I can't scroll or select.
Funny thing is that although I can use the menu and select buttons to restart it, they refuse to work otherwise! Clickwheel is simply not working
I decided to connect my camera adapter to it. It recognised the camera and gave me the option to import or to cancel. Hmmmm... Sorry no buttons would work!!!
When I connect it to the laptop, it is recognised as a drive and I can transfer stuff to and from the disk. I can even transfer through itunes.
Could someone PLEASE help me with this as its out of business hours now and i'm really anxious about this!
Thanks
Anul

Just spoke to Apple customer service. The guy told me to let the battery run down completely and then charge it again to see if it fixes the thing. The odd thing was that he told me it would take about 8-9 hours for the iPod to do this. Wouldn't you think that its really short time for the battery to run out in sleep when its supposed to give 10+hours with music playing!
The guy was really helpful though and said it could be replaced from an apple store if nothing works out. We have a reseller here in Liverpool, would anyone know if they would be able to replace it for me?
Thanks for all the input!

HT201401 iPhone 4s stuck on red battery screen - please help!

Please assist.
Phone was on 1% this moring and i plugged it in as you do. The battery stayed on 1% and I then switched the phone off in a 'restart' attempt. MUCH regret now cause the phone will not switch on!
It is now stuck on the red battery icon and does not charge up or switch on :-(
Please help me! The phone is plugged into a wall and also wont reset

Try to charge it on the computer, or use another cable. Leave it on charge the whole night. If it does not work, press the home botton and screen botton together till the apple icon appears.
Hope this will help

2 day old iphone 4s 16g (daughter's) completely frozen..Help?

    Hello,
My daughter's iphone 4s is brand new; she has been using it for 2 days now. However, currently the screen is frozen black. I tried holding the sleep button w/ the round button for at least
15 seconds (which I have used as a quick fix before with my iphone 4); however, it is doing nothing. I tried connecting it to a charger in hopes that might do something---it is still frozen black.
     We have not synched her phone yet or connected it to itunes. (It hasn't been connected to a computer at all). We are on vacation and purchased it right
before we left for vacation. She basically has about 5 new games on it and has used the texting a couple of times. (I did set her up an itunes account).
     Any suggestions? She and I appreciate your help. I am so technically challenged and I really hate that. Thanks so much. Happy New Year!

Hi
Try this link and follow as much as possible

If this does not work I would assume a hardware fault which you will need to speak with Apple about
Thanks

Any iPhone 4S users experienced better battery life after upgrading to iOS 7.1?

Hello
I am curious to know if any iPhone 4S users experienced better battery life compared to iOS 7.x.x.? That will be great to know before I upgrade and give up my JB .
Thanks!

Apparently when the issue affects you personally it's impossible to accept that millions and millions of users are not experiencing the same problems or accept that the issue is with your device specifically.
Really, that's quite an assertion. I'm sure you can prove those stats; but my apologies, I forgot that Apple produces flawless product.
I can only report MY SYMPTOMS: iPhone 4S 32M on VZW, upgrade to iOS 7.0 at the end of February (when security flaw was announced), after which my battery life is about 1/2 what it used to be before the upgrade.
Also, as reported above, when I upgraded to iOS 7.0 my phone would lock (in phone mode); had uncommanded reboots; and severely degraded battery life. Two days ago, upgraded to iOS 7.1. Most screen "touch" issues appear resolved; and uncommanded reboots resolved.
Battery life / duration still poor; still charging every 4-5 hours.
Previously with normal use (with no location services) could run a full day, about 8 hours before recharge. Now, same situations, I'm having to recharge after 4-5 hours. Again, no new apps, all apps are current; no different usage.
What's the resolving fix?

Is your phone charged? If so, perform a reset:
iPhone Reset:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release...can take 10 ~ 15 seconds of button pushing.

After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably. I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day

After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably. I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day. We have several phones in our office and the ones that have updated (4) now have issue holding a charge/battery life. I really liked this phone and can not believe that you are now going to charge us $79 a battery to fix what is most definately a problem with your latest update. I know other people outside of our company that are having the same problem. Not to mention when I called AT&T it was confirmed to me that they are hearing the same issue and then some from other customers as well. Your own people, once I talked to them earlier today, told me they are showing a history of issues that are showing up after the update was put in place. Of course she tried to say, "Maybe the age of the battery and the update both contributed". Whatever.
I want you all to know how disappointed I am in your company for the handling of this issue. I always thought "Apple" was the line I didn't have to worry about having any types of issue. And that you all would stand behined your product 100%. Now I am not so sure.
I would love to hear back from your company on how you perceive the issue with all of these phones that prior to the update didn't have any issues and how after the update THEY ARE NOW having issues. I do not believe this was an issue due to the age of a battery and that was pretty lame to say so. It was fine and now its not.
Please feel free to contact me and help me figure out a way to pay for all of the batteries that will be needed for our company to contiue doing business as needed.
Thank you.

iOS 4.2.1 is the latest version of iOS for the 3G.
Facebook and Whatsapp both require 4.3 or higher.
If you want to use those apps, either use the old version that should be in your iTunes library or upgrade the hardware to a 3GS or newer device.

After upgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS8 my battery life has been cut in half

After upgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS8 my battery life has been cut in half
Mail is 44% of the battery - I get about 300 emails through MSexchange and 25 through hotmail and .25 from cogeco.
Home & Lock Screen is 19%
Phone is 14%
Calendar 11%
Is there a bug in mail or is it just too much volume?

I see the same thing after upgrading to ios8 on my iphone 4S.
In my case, Mail is 76% of my activity. Disabling my mail accounts allows me to go back to my once a day charging routine. Otherwise, my battery runs down from 100% to 9% in 3.5 hours. I have two mail accounts. One exchange based the other is gmail.

Is it normal for iPhone 4S to lose 1% battery life after 2-3 minutes of using?

Is it normal for iPhone 4S to lose 1% battery life after 2-3 minutes of using? So in 2 hours, 24 minutes usage and 15 hours, 17 minutes in standby mode, the battery became 68%...

sounds plausable
also you can't really 100% trust it's batt% batteries are an analog technology the only thing the iphone can judge how much batt is left is by measuing amp amount the batt is producing and then over time estimating how long before it's zore
but anyway Its not wise to not put a battery for charge before bed when it's 12%
if your reason is you think it's good for batteries to be empty before charging then you believe in a myth and in the process damaging the battery in your ios device

HT6154 After updating to IOS 7.1 my battery life has gone bezerk.

After updating to IOS 7.1 my battery life has gone bezerk. I just finished a 6 minute call with my bank and the battery life went from 93%-23%???? Then i pkugged it into the charger and the battery insicator went right to 48%. Found this article and followed it to the T to no avail.:
Guide to Solving iOS Battery Drain http://iClarified.com/39722
Please I cannot think of a better phone to use, and this is where apple will make or break me.

Please be more specific. What have you tried already? Please follow the below steps as described also in another topic by Nathan.
1. Hard reset hold both buttons until Apple logo appears.
2. Restore from an iTunes sync and backup. This made a difference for a lot of peopel, battery life got much better.
3. Limit push notifications (apps and e-mail accounts - set e.g. e-mail to fetch once an hour) to those you really need.
4. Limit location services to those you really need, and watch to see if the indicator comes up.
5. Get the app System Activity Monitor to look for a runaway process that is using a lot of CPU.
6. Suggestion by others to reset all settings.
7. Suggestion by others that iCloud may be involved, and to try to turn off some iCloud settings.
8. Limit or turn off 'background app refresh'.
9. Add apps back in carefully to identify an offending app that is causing CPU or network activity that kills battery life.
10 Also make sure that e-mail is fetched (e.g. every hour) or set to manual instead of pushed.
11 Do you have a good carrier reception? Have you tried to manual set your carrier within your iPhone instead of the 'automatic'?
12 Have you checked if the timezone is set to manual instead of automatic and see if this makes a difference in battery use?
In my case it was a bug with an app that caused the battery drain. I also noticed that the use and stand-by time were exactly the same which is ofcourse not correct. This was all caused by this app which was using GPS tracking all the time. Unfortunately an app such as System Activity Monitor did not indicate that in my case but someone posted this solution on a Dutch forum that the previous version of the app 'Scoupy' had a bug and caused this battery drain.
If you haven't tried every single one of these, please do not post that battery life is terrible.

Using my macbook pro whole day with the power adapter , will it affect my battery? Please help

Using my macbook pro whole day with the power adapter , will it affect my battery? Please help

It doesn't affect the battery. You can use your MacBook Pro plugged in all the time without damaging the battery. You only have to be sure that you unplug it and run a battery cycle (drain the battery without letting the Mac turn off and charge it fully) at least once a month to keep the battery life.
