After upgrading to ios6, my battery life is cut in half.

Battery life has been cut in half after upgrading. Sometimes, when taking phone out of the case, it's very hot & the battery is almost gone even though it hasn't been used since charging.

I would have to agree. I think that the update is affecting some users. I am guessing you are using a touch. I boutght mine a year ago, it had i4 on it, after the update to i5 i noticed a vast improvment on the battery life. After the update to i5 (which igmackenzie) has nothing to do with how you updated it, wi-fi or hard wired, as long as it takes you are good. It does seem that for some reason, i5 has a finiky issue when it comes to correctly updated apps (i5 ready) and the app store crashing. (have updated about 75% of mine and the issue seems to have resovlved its-self.)
As a long time user of this site for issues i am having and a long time mac user, will you please keep your opinions out of it. this is a help site, for people to remedy issues. NOT a blog for user forum. Appleinsider has a great place for you to discuss your OPINIONS, as for your HELPFUL advice, that is greatly appreciated. But it does appear that the user basically figured it out on their own.

After upgrade to IOS6 my battery dies very fast? any fix?

I updated my itouch to IOS6 and now my battery dies in just a few hours. Is there a fix or can I uninstall the upgrade . This is bad news as I use this device a lot.

My battery is life is back to normal after deleting my Facebook account from the intergrated FB feature (Settings, Facebook, click your name, Delete Account). I started thinking that since the FB integration updates your contacts and calendar it is probably constantly receiving data. My battery seems to be back to normal after doing that. I was also using the new Maps app a lot over the weekend because I am a Realtor and was out showing property (BTW - I hate the new maps app, Google finds businesses by name almost 100% of the time and Apple's app does not). I have shut down the Maps app so that could also be a factor. I see where several people have said they fixed their battery drain by reinstalling the iOS6 update thru iTunes, but I updated mine originally thru iTunes, and noticed the battery drain the same day. I went through right after I updated and made sure everything I always had done on my phone to save battery life was set like I like it (brightness, mail to no fetch, no synching with iCloud, etc). I also do not use Siri so I know that did not contribute to the battery problem. I truly think it was because of FB. Since changing that, my phone has only dropped 6% in 3 hours and I have talked on it a couple of times. I have a 4s.

Battery life suddenly cut in half

just yesterday, during my first class, i noticed that i only had about 2 hours left on my battery-- this was just about 15 minutes after unplugging my fully charged macbook. the same thing happened today...i don't know what's going on, i used to get around 4 hours with it. i haven't changed any habits-- i dim the screen as much as possible, etc.
i'm calibrating the battery right now...will that work or is something else wrong?

Hi,
Macbook battery life arouse lot of feedback. My experience is after re-calibration the total capcity of battery losts at least 100mAh. But if just connect to internet via airport, still I can manage to use it with over 3hrs. But when I run photoshops or bigger size file, the time shown on menu bar dropped tremendously to 1:50hr somethg from 3:03hr. But this battery seems to last quite good at last few %. My experiences on powerbook G4 1G, with 1.25G DDR ram, when battery drops to 10% or 10 minutes, the Powerbook will go to sleep soon. But for Macbook, when the indicator shows 0:09 hr remained, if using for internet it can still last for more than 15minutes. I also asked Apple HK technician about the battery drop problem, they said this is just rough estimation, sometimes not accurate, and it is normal that battery sometimes can't charged back 100% full unless after recalibration. If ur cases after full charge, check if ur battery is 100% or below 90% uisng coconut, Apple said if under warranty the battery drop below 90% for full charge, u can replace the battery in Apple repair center. This is the case in HK , I am not sure the practise in ur country.

My iphone 4s was stopped working after upgrading to IOS6.

My iphone 4s was stopped working 2 days after upgrading to IOS6. Apple replaced it however same issue after upgrade. The new phone keeps reseting it self and turns it self off. Sometimes can not turn it on for hours, drains the battery really really quick. Anybody with same issues?

It is probably still worth while taking it to an Apple store for a possible OOW replacement and let them make the decision, as it was broken before the OP took the back off.

im not able to activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6, saying server not available try later. im not able to make my phone work, not able to bring serial # im in guatemala what i can do?

Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
If this is the case, no support can be provided here.

HT1414 how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier. The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

Did you try to reboot your router? I had the same problem after upgrade to iOS 6 but rebooting the router solved the problem for me. What other fixes did you try?

The search function in App Store, is not working in my iPhone 4, after upgrading to ios6

The search function in App Store, is not working in my iPhone 4, after upgrading to ios6. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Having the same problem. No response from Apple as I tried all the suggestions. Had to perform a system restore. Currently iy's working. Make sure you backup everything to your computer. IOS6 is still glitchy in other areas.

Syncing Reminders on iPad 2 after upgrade to iOS6

I can't seem to get the reminders on my iPad to sync with my desktop and iPhone after upgrading to iOS6. I've tried the suggestions on the support community but they do not address the problem. The iPhone and desktop are synced but the iPad is not.

Thanks for your reply. The "No SIM" icon appeared right after I upgraded to iOS7. I followed the instructions about resetting the iPad, turning airplane mode on and off, resetting the SIM card. None of this helped, so I went to the Apple store, where they tried all of the above, and even installed a new SIM card. They decided it was a bad SIM card slot. I contacted the Apple hot line and talked with the for an hour and fifteen minutes. After resetting the iPad back to its original factory settings and bringing back up, they cam to the same conclusion: bad so card slot.
Pardon my cynicism, but it seems strange that so many early iPad and iPhone owners would have the same hard ware problem right after upgrading o iOS7.
Does anyone know if Apple is working on a software fix, or is this a plot to get us to buy new iPads?

If you know where the app is (in a folder, for example), go to that folder and find the app there.
Maybe you tried holding the app down in the search screen. I didn't say clearly you have to go to the app eherever it is, but not in the search screen.

I lost most of my contacts after upgrading to ios6. Can I revert back to ios5 safely?

I have lost most of my contact info after upgrade to ios6. Can I restore only the contacts from a backup, or even revert to ios5.1.1 when needed?

Backup is your best option if you have one. Reverting software will not bring the contacts back.

After upgrading to ios6, my battery life is cut in half.
