Are you having battery problems on iOS 6 (iPhone 4S)

Hello fellow Apple device users. Ever since I updated to iOS 6 my iPhone 4S's batery took a blow. The phone is barely a month old. On iOS 5.1.1 I had terrific battery life with battery usage being around 6hours and 30minutes average. Notifiactions, 3G, nice brightness (3 fourths of the bar). I had nearly 12 hours of standby as well. I take care of my battery (not always leaving the phone plugged up, I let the battery go down to 0% quite often (twice a week) and give it a full 100% charge. But now I only get like 4hours and 30 minutes of usage and 10 hours of standby.
Here are my current settings (same as on iOS 5.1.1)
I turned off diagnostics.
Service location is activated for only apps that I need it for, Siri, Maps, Find my Phone
3G and iCloud activated (mail, reminders, find my phone, contacts)
Notifications activated for apps that I want (about 7 apps in the notification center)
Is anyone having these battery problems as well? I just lost 10% with 32 minutes of usage ( read my messages, twitter timeline) and only 40 minutes of standby.
Any solutions?
Thanks all

After upgrading to iOS4 on your 3GS, are you having battery & signal issues

I was having big problems with my battery life (10% per hour at best) and also signal dropping issues from time to time.
Last night though I solved all these problems... HOW ??
Via iTunes, restore your iPhone and select the option "as new iPhone" NOT from a backup. This option totally resets your iPhone (no music, videos, data, applications or games saves) but my iPhone was fully charged at 7.30am and now 10 hours later I still have 60% battery.
This now means that my iPhone can last the whole working day before going DEAD !!
Don't get me wrong the RESTORE is a pain but in the long run it looks like the only thing that will sort out your battery problems.
Good luck ... it worked for me !!

The question I have is; "WHY does this work?"
How about it Apple "Gurus"
Well, it would seem that the issue here is that iOS4 is not properly reading the backup that was created before the update. Or the backup is not being created in a properly formatted manner. There are just too many cases of a post upgrade issue being solved by restoring as a new phone for it not to be bad data.
Pain in the hiney, I know. And this is nothing new. All the way back through the iPhone's iPod roots, there has alway been a point in the troubleshooting tree that comes down to "restore the iPod". Just a more awkward thing now that the iPod has evolved into a phone and is trying to keep any number of settings straight. Not to mention no one wants to take their phone down unless there is no other option.

Having Wifi Problems since Ios 6 (iphone 4)

Hello all,
Since installing IOS6 (now at 6.0.1.) im having WIFI problems. It is an iphone problem because im tying this on the laptop and my iphone got problems. The problems show themself in the following ways:
- Cant connect to whatsapp. I see that the iphone is 'thinking' while trying to connect but it wont.
- Cant keep a signal while using facetime. It keeps disconnecting whilst im trying to call someone trough wifi and when connected i miss parts of text and after it disconnects again.
- I cant use safari or other apps requiring WIFI/3G.
I did a reset on the iphone, i cleaned the network setting, i turned the iphone off etc etc. Ik kind of did all to prevent or fix the problems.
What could be it?
What should be my next step?
Im trying another router in a week, but never had any problems before the update to 6...
Yours Faithfully,
Fissa.

If you have control of the router you should restart it. Unplug the power, unplug the ethernet signal in cable, wait a few minutes, plug the power cord back in, plug the ethernet cable back in, wait for your router to stabalize itself (Could take a few minutes.)
I had similar problems with my iPhone 4S when upgrading to iOS 6.0. Updating further to 6.0.1 seemed to help me. The other thing I discovered was that I needed to set proxy to Auto. Before I did this on the wifi net at work I had to really fight with my phone, i.e. all the things you mentioned in your post, just to connect. But when I went to Auto it made a huge difference and I can not auto connect again just by coming within range of the network.

Hi melbernai - not sure if you've solved this problem yet. I had the exact same problem recently with my 2nd Gen iPod Nano. I solved it yesterday by simply updating iTunes to the most recent version, after which I could get rid of the register screen. The only other thing I needed to do to add my custom playlists was select "Manually manage music" on the screen for my iPod, since it had been in an automatic synching mode since the problem occurred.

Is anyone having a problem downloading ios 7

Yes. If you'd bothered to read a few posts here before making your own, you would see other people are having problems.
You'd also see dozens of identical replies telling why. The servers are busy due to millions of people all trying to download at the same time.

My youtube app is no longer working on my iphone 3. Others, with the same phone, are not having the problem. It works occassionally, but it's unpredictable. I've updated phone software, deleted the app, re-downloaded the app, turned the phone off and on...nothing.

You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor. Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

IPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

iPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

I Have followed these steps, and tried others, such as resetting all my network settings. At best these only temporarily fix the problem - wifi still becomes slow or stops. I have other Apple devices connecting fine to my airport express. why is my iPad mini not working? Is it related to the fact it is 3G and I don't have a sim card installed? It is the current top of the range model with iOS 8.0.2. I paid over the odds for the best, and it is almost completely redundant. Apple - I'm losing faith. You need to keep the public better informed and fix this problem fast, otherwise I will leave you for good.

Apple are working on it, many people have been having this probleme mainly on 4 an 4s. All you can do is wait for an upgrade, check this link for better battery life http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html or pick up a mophie juice pack.

Are you having iTunes video playback problems?

Do you have iTunes Store-bought videos whose playback is terrible, all choppy and full of freezes while playing back in iTunes?
Have you copied one of those iTunes videos to a thumb drive and had it play back perfectly?
This problem is not fixed by any of the Quicktime adjustments that Apple suggests on their "how to fix video playback issues" page, and, aside from this video playback issue, iTunes is working fine on my machine. As I said, the videos work fine, too, if played from a thumb drive instead of the hard drive.
This has been going on for weeks, and people have been posting about it here on the forum, but, to my knowledge, there's no fix. Just silence.
It might be useful if people who are seeing this problem post some information about their systems. For all I know, all of us who are seeing this problem have one particular vendor's computer.
The computer I am having this problem with is a new HP laptop that came with Vista. This one:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=c00846935&cc=us&dlc=e n&lc=en&jumpid=regR1002USEN
1.6 GHz AMD Turion ™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-52
2 X 512KB L2 Cache
2048MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA)
120GB 5400RPM (SATA)
I think the problem has to do with SATA, but I don't really know, except that my computer has it and I am able to play these videos perfectly from a thumb drive but not the SATA hard drive.
If you are having this problem, please consider posting your computer's info. Thanks.
HP Pavilion Entertainment PC Other OS Vista

OK, I figured it out... I too have a dv6000 with Vista and I have been trying to fix this terrible itunes video playback thing and this is what I found. For whatever reason the NVidia driver in the dv series doesn't play nice with Vista. They say that they are looking into it but have no response other than that. Somehow the data from the hard drive isn't fast enough. So, reading this I figured that if that REALLY is the problem that I could use a external drive and have the videos come from there, and Voila!! It works like a charm, no skipping, no stalling, no more blue screens. I hope this is helpful, I know what a pain this can be.
ALSO, apparently some think that you can't watch itunes video while using Vista's "ReadyBoost". I haven't had that issue personally, but I have seen a lot that have who disabled it and had it work fine.
Let me know if this works for everyone else.

HT6154 Having SERIOUS problems with iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4S!!!!

I am having SERIOUS problems here. Let me give you a rundown:
I have to reboot my phone (or turn it off and on again) to see the correct battery percentage (but I'll address that in a second), and once I reboot it or bring it back up again, it has to restart itself (in the middle of use) about 3 or 4 times before it stays on consistantly; all the while reading the percentage of battery it remembers from the last reboot. Now, about the battery percentage: I restarted it before I charged it last night and it read 16% -mind you, after it had to shut itself down and restart 3 times. I put it on the charger all night, and it still read 16%...but I decided to run a battery cycle (charge it all the way up, and drain it all the way down) to see if that would help. Sad to say, it did not help; infact it made things worse. It now flip-flops in between the Apple boot-up symbol and a black screen when plugged up to a charger or a computer. The computer cannot read the phone being plugged in so I cannot do a manual restore from iTunes.
Best yet, I upgraded to 7.1, and had the SAME EXACT PROBLEMS I AM HAVING NOW. I did a complete restore of my phone, and even set it up as a brand new iPhone, not even a restore from the last iCloud backup, and just loaded all my content from my Mac...and the problems decided to follow -even after the fresh restore.
I'm toying with the idea that it may be a hardware problem, but I would love to know if anyone is experiencing the same issue.
I have no idea what to do... please help.
I use my phone for business constantly, and almost cannot do my job without it.

ok well seeing that your are having major issues with the battery and the loading screen it is a hardware issue. reseting it wont help that at all. what you need to do is take it to apple and let them look at it. They can tell you what is wrong with it and how much it would be to fix it ( if it is possible your situation is really bad) but if its not they might give you a discount if you give the iphone to them.

IPod touch Battery Problems Since iOS 7 was installed last year.

Hello, I've had recurring battery problems with my iPod touch since the iOS 7 update was installed, and I find myself having to charge my iPod touch (5th Generation) a lot more frequently since I installed this update.
On iOS 6, I had never experienced any problems with the iPod touch's battery, as I was able to let the battery drain down completely, and let it charge for 4 hours (recommended). After the iPod touch was fully charged for 4 whole hours, I was able to unplug the lightning cable, and the iPod touch on its own would last a few days to at least a week or two weeks.
On iOS 7, since it saw its general release on the 18th September last year, I have found that the iPod's battery has drained so bad, that it dies too quickly, and when I put the iPod touch on charge, in almost an hour, the iPod touch tells me that it is 100% charged. However, when I take the iPod touch off its charge after it fully charges for that hour, it quickly drains down again.
I have gone through the standard procedure of restoring my iPod touch to its factory settings, and I have seen absolutely no improvement on the battery life whatsoever. I mainly back up whatever is on my iPod touch (I back up pictures, videos and also transfer updates that I have installed for certain apps onto iTunes), though I have seen how some people have backed up the data on their iPod's or iPhones, only they find their iDevice draining so quickly.
Even turning off certain features in the Settings app to improve the battery life doesn't help, as there is almost no difference that solves the problems I'm currently having with the iPod touch's battery.
I recently heard about the free iPhone battery replacement program which is now available, so I'm starting to worry whether I have to pay for a new replacement battery for my iPod touch.
Your help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
Many kind regards,
Alex Smithson

I mainly charge the iPod touch itself for four hours and it still doesn't make a difference. I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years and since I installed iOS 7, it still doesn't make a difference.
I was wondering, if the article you have provided doesn't sort the problems with the battery out, is there another alternative??
Your help and advice is most appreciated.
Many kind regards,
Alex Smithson
