  • Battery Life on iPhone 5 with IOS 7.0.2

    Hi all,
    What's the average battery life on iPhone after the upgrade to IOS 7.0.2?
    I tried to put my phone (with 100% full battery) on Airplane Mode before I went to bed (around 11pm).
    When I checked my phone at 6.30am in the morning, it's only 1% battery left --> 7 hours on Airplane Mode???
    The next night, I put my phone on standby mode (Wifi on, Location Services Off, Bluetooth Off, 3G/4G off) same time (11ish)
    Next morning at 7am, 5% battery left --> 8 hours on standby with just Wifi On.
    I found it a bit weird because before the IOS 7 upgrade, if I put my phone on Airplane Mode, it will last for more than a day.
    Wondering if any of you guys has the same issue with the battery?
    Thanks.

    I received an iPhone 5 for Christmas and had an iPhone 4.S previously which had no battery issues at all.  The new phone is diabolical in terms of battery life.  I have done all the things that people recommend on here to try and extend the battery life but to no avail.  Just sitting overnight with nothing running in the background drains the battery considerably.   What else can I do?   I have AppleCare on this phone so the people there offer to replace the phone for me BUT the replacement phone does not arrive in a new box and the respresentative was very fuzzy about the fact he would/could not assure me I would receive a brand new phone in its' box.  He just kept saying it will be a 'replacement phone' which is totally unacceptable as this phone is unlocked so we paid full price for it.   The phone is not reliable - whilst out for a full day's ski-ing (I was not ski-ing, just hanging around!) and using the phone for very light Internet browsing and only a few short e-mails, the battery just drained away in front of my eyes so I had to turn it off completely as I have no car charger yet and certainly had not thought to take my electrical charger with me (we won't even talk about the stupidity of making the new charger not fit my other Apple products (three of them!).
    I really am so disappointed and don't know what to do next.   As BCCconvert asks, what can we do???  thanks for any help offered.

  • Any fix to the battery life issue from upgrading to IOS 6.0.2, as my battery life has gone from 2 days to 4 hours since 'upgrading'??

    I purchased my Iphone 5 on the day of release, since then I have had a 2 day battery life on average, since upgrading to IOS 6.0.2, the battery struggles to last for 4 hours, is there any solution or fix??  If not any idea when this will be fixed??  Is there anyway to revert back to IOS 6.0.1?
    HELP!!!

    It is unlikely that this problem has anything to do with iOS 6.0.2. It is possible that the update process itself has caused some settings on your iPhone to become corrupted.
    Here are some steps to deal with this:
    1. Close all apps (use the app switcher; double tap home, press and hold an icon, click the "-" signs)
    2. Go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. (Does NOT delete apps or any data; just resets network/iOS settings)
    3. Wait for iPhone to restart.
    4. Charge iPhone up to 100% and monitor.

  • My iphone 5, with iOS 7.0.2, is heating and consuming the battery very fast when 3G is on, even when I'm not using it. Any solution?

    My iphone 5, with iOS 7.0.2, is heating and consuming the battery very fast when 3G is on, even when I'm not using it. Any solution?

    iOS 7 has many multiple tasks. You can save battery life to some extent by few steps. First go to location services and bettr 'Off' them which are not needed. (Ex. Notes.. Reminders.. Etc). Also you can off few apps in 'get notifications' centre. Also usage of 3g by any mobile consumes much battery life. Better to connect any Wi-fi

  • IOS 8.3 is draining my iPhone 6 Plus battery life. how to downgrade to iOS 8.2?

    I never changed my mobile phone using habits. All that changed recently is my iPhone 6 Plus getting an iOS 8.3 update. I noticed my battery life draining quicker than the usual. It used to still have enough juice to last me until midnight, now by lunch time i am already at 63%!
    Anyone experiencing this?
    Know the proper legitimate way to downgrade from iOS 8.3 to 8.2? Prefer to have longer battery life than have this updated 8.3 in my phone. I don't feel the benefits of the upgrade to begin with.

    The rate of battery loss is still slowly accelerating. At this rate I expect less than 8 hours usage time.
    I wrote a review of my new iPhone 6 Plus here and brought up the issue:

    If anybody has any ideas, or comparative battery life results, please let me know.

  • How do I maximise battery life on iphone 5s

    I have just got an iphone 5s and the battery life is terrible. With my 4s I used to double click the home button then I could close down each app fully as they showed up in a row and I could press an x. I cant seem to do this with the 5s. Please help, its lasted 9 hrs since charging and I ve been asleep for most of them!!! I tried Apple support chat but after over 30 mins I didnt get a reply.

    To shut down apps double-click the home button then swipe the app screen shot upwards. However, very few apps actually run in the background.
    The list of apps you see when double-clicking the home button is only a list of recently used apps, it is NOT a list of all running apps.
    Battery life will improve over the next days and weeks as the battery is used.

  • Does Mavericks have any effect on MBP battery life?

    Does updating to Mavericks have any effect on the battery life of the MacBook Pro?

    It's suppose to have a postive affect on battery life. At least that's what I'm seeing in comparison to OS X Mountain Lion (Macbook Pro Retina).
    See Conclusion at the bottom of this PDF from Apple. You can also skim through the PDF to see how battery life is extended.

  • IPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.2 Battery Drains FAST!

    My iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.2 the battery drains tremendously fast! This morning it was 100% charged then just by surfing facebook and flipboard with 3G, it became 7% in the noon. I hope Apple can solve this problem! I'm very upset right now

    I've pretty much proved to myself that this is a bug in 7.0.2.  Since my post a few days ago I have:
    Done a full restore of my iPhone with 7.0.2 - problem still persisted - draining battery at approx 23%/hour with no use, and with all the battery saving tips applied (no push notifications, no background updating etc).
    Restored iPhone with 7.0 - battery drain dropped to approx 5%/hour with no use and battery saving tips applied.  With push notifications & background updating turned back on, battery drain increased to approx 12%/hour which is high, but still significantly better than 7.0.2. 
    I would recomend everyone who is having this problem with 7.0.2 to lodge a bug report with Apple - www.apple.com/feedback - hopefully if enough of us lodge the bug report, Apple will listen and release an update.
    As for downgrading, unfortunately we cannot downgrade to 6.x anymore, but you can downgrade to 7.0.  It is a matter of downloading the appropriate firmware. Firmware's are available here - http://www.icj.me/ios - although that site lists 6.x, they will no longer work, so get the 7.0. That site redirects you to Apple's server for the appropriate ROM, so they are legitimate. Before you install it, you have to turn "Find My iPhone" off by going to Settings | Privacy | Location Services | Find iPhone.  The installation seems to turn it back on when done, but you should probably check.  Once the firmware has downloaded, you can install it on your device by going to iTunes, and holding down the option key while clicking Restore.  This is on Mac - on Windows I assume you would press Alt (but if that doesn't work, try Ctl or Shift).  If you have pressed the right button on your keyboard, a file browser window will appear, allowing you to choose the firmware that you just downloaded.
    Once installation is complete, iTunes will tell you that there is an update available for your iPhone, just click "Later" everytime the warning appears.

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
    Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
    Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
    thanks.
    Sorry my bad Inglês.
