Battery drain after IOS 6 update

I and my 3 family members and two fellow employees have all noticed that since upgrading to IOS 6 on our cellphones we have had the following issues;
1. Massive battery drain
2. Battery heat-up during recharge with the phone on but not being used.
3. Lost data
With the phone on and not being used - the charge level drops much faster.  I used to go the whole day on one charge and recharge at 10 pm with 30 - 40% of the charge left.  Since the IOS 6 upgrade I'm recharging at 4pm with a 10% charge remaining on the phone .
Also -  recharging the phone while it is on (but not in use) causes  noticible battery heat-up.
Again - this was not the case for any of the 6 of us prior to downloading IOS 6
My conclusion is that there are aspects of this new operating system that use a lot more battery juice than the previous IOS 5.1.1
This significantly increased demand on the battery is showing up as much less operating time and battery heat-up during recharging.
Anybody else experiencing these issues ?

Got onto Apple Teckies yesterday & spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with a very helpfull bloke
that went through everything.
At this stage my phone has been reinstalled with iOS 6 as a New Phone (Like a test mode) so NONE
of my APP's or Settings only my Contacts from iCloud (As a New phone would come out of the box).
... From the time we finished uploading the iOS 6 softwear untill now my phone has only used 40%
battery so it's looking good.
If this works I then have to conect my phone with my iTunes & Reinstall from my Back Up to get all
My App's & Settings back.
... Then we will see if it has worked.
... Will let you all know what happens in the next 48 Hours.

  • IPad 2 battery drain after iOS 5.0.1 update!!!

    iPad 2 battery is draining way too fast after the 5.0.1 update - I've lost over 10% just browsing the apple site over wifi for about 10 minutes - with no other apps running. NOT ACCEPTABLE APPLE!!!
    Same issue with my iPhone 4 that went from 62% when I went to bed last night to completely dead this morning - unused!!
    Apple - roll 5.0 back out to replace this battery leech. I need to be able to actually USE my products.

    Same issue here! I've been reading on my fully-charged iPad and the battery is down to 78%. Never did this before the latest update. Yesterday, iPad quit before my usual evening reading!  Any solutions!
    I have personally seen the problem and corrected it on numerous models now including the 4S, 4, 3GS and iPad 2s.  Corrupt system level settings created by an iOS 5 bug in the original release that caused battery recalibration issues, etc.  Just installing the update does not fix the issue in most cases (sometime it initially can be worse).  You need to clear out those settings and recalibate the battery.  For those still having the "standby battery drain" issue follow the procedure below in order.  It does fix the problem in most cases.
    Go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
    1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
    2. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). At this point, Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
    3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd
    4. Fully discharge battery  (tilll it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
    5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
    In my experience this improves the Standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases.  It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple.  Good Luck!

  • Pandora battery drain after ios 8.1

    I've been using Pandora for quite a long time. I usually leave 1 earbud in and stream music all during my work day.
    This has historically used 30-50% of my battery during a 9.5 hour shift.
    Since IOS 8.1, Pandora has gotten insanely battery hungry.  Since 8.1, my battery generally dies around 4p.
    After 4.5 hours of streaming today, my battery is at 48%. Typically, it would still be in the 60s-70s at this time.
    Usage shows Pandora taking 69% of the battery power, so it's definitely something between IOS 8.1 and the Pandora App.
    Note: I did not have this problem on *any* previous version of IOS. 8.0.2 worked just fine.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?  The sole change was IOS 8.1, although I do not know if it's the culprit or Pandora.
    Thanks for any insight..

    Same here.  Listened to Pandora on iPhone 6 on vacation while driving (up to 8 hours per day) no problem.  Battery drain about same as with previous iPhone 5 (can actually listen for 7-8 hours without going below 30%).
    Updated to 8.1 on Sunday, phone went from 100% at 7 a.m. to 50% 40 minutes later during my morning commute and when I picked up phone it was extremely hot to the touch.
    I guess I don't get the "fix" that Pandora is working on (daddydev).  shouldn't Apple be the ones working on the fix to their 8.1 update, not the app developer?
    When I contacted Apple support, they seemed unaware of the problem.  Maybe we are the only 4 iPhone owners who use Pandora?  I don't think so.....

  • Battery drain after 2.2 update (Exchange Active Sync users or those who use a calendar on the phone)

    A lot of folks are having "issues" with battery life after the over the air (OTA) update and there has been much speculation as to the cause.  My frustrattion level increased with each new post I read that did not reveal a resolution.  The back and forth banter about FTC complaints (that was an interesting escape from the battery problem but not very helpful), new apps running from startup (I don't like 'em either), Linux really working better with all these programs running (don't really care as long as the battery level isn't drained after an hour of just sitting on the counter) just made matters worse.
    I would like to share with you my experience and hope that it helps some of you who have taken the time to read my post.  First, let me say that the cause is not due the the "bloatware" applications that were installed during the OTA update.
    Secondly, the primary purpose of my handheld is for voice calls but running close behind is my need for immediate email, contacts and calendar information (which is configured through Exchange Active Sync).  If you are not using your phone with Active Sync or updating a remote calendar like Google), you can stop reading this post.
    I noticed that the yin/yang (sync) icon at the top of my screen kept popping up more than usual after the update.  Looking through the items I have set to sync (Menu -> Settings -> Accounts & Sync), I reviewed all the things I have set and disabled the sync settings for the things I did not want.  After disabling the "Backup Assistant", "Google", "News", "Stocks" and "Weather", I thought for sure the issue would be resolved.  Not yet.  When those adjustments didn't change the frequency of the sync, I decided to look at the Exchange Active Sync and to my surprise, the culprit was revealed - the calendar was stuck in a sync loop (syncing over and over).  I disabled the "Sync Calendar" feature and the phone stopped it's maddening attempt to refresh the calendar.
    I let the phone cool off and thought that I could get by with manually toggling the option to sync the calendar but I couldn't accept that was the only way this thing would work.  I removed the Exchange Active Sync account and created a new one.  After the new account was verified, it attempted to sync mail, contacts and calendar but this time, there was a error that occured during the calendar sync.  Instead of repeatedly attempting to re-sync, an error message that stated "Client/Server conversion error".  At this point, the calendar sync loop was no longer a problem (wasnt' draining the battery) but now my calendar wouldn't sync at all. 
    To fix it, I cleared the data in the Calendar applications (Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All [tab at the top]). Scroll down the list and open each of the Calendar items and click the "Clear Data" button. 
    (Credit goes to "Brenny" at AndroidForums.com for the post that explains how to clear the Calendar Data)
    It seems that adjustments made to events before the update were kept in the phones local storage.  After the update, the calendar data in the phone's cache was not matching my remote calendar and appears to have been the cause for my battery drain.  After performing these steps, everything is back to normal.  Good luck!

    Super frustrating, I know.  Do you use Exchange Active Sync?
    If so, you might be having the same issue that I've explained.  Since making the adjustments (clearing the data from the Active Sync components like mail, contacts and calendar), my battery life is back to normal.
    Try clearing the data (see first post in this thread) and let me know what happens.

  • Severe battery drain after last verizon update

    After the last update for my phone I have been experiencing around 10% battery drain an hour with moderate to low usage.  I have already done 2 factory resets and formatting my SD card.  I have disabled GPS, WIFI, Global access, Google now and everything else that i can find that could cause a drain.  I have even gone and disabled/uninstalled all apps that I don't use.  That didn't fix anything.  I started to suspect that my battery was bad.  Ordered a new from Samsung and charged it all night on there spare battery charger before using it.  It actually seems to be draining even faster, after 45 minutes I was already at 88%.  During that period I sent about a dozen texts and checked email and the weather.   So I don't believe its the battery.  Any suggestions to help resolve this will be greatly appreciated.

        likegod04, thank for posting. Are you still having battery issues? If so, then next option will be to replace the device. How long have you had it? Is there any physical or water damaged done to the phone?^SP

  • Samsung GS3 Battery Drain after 4.3 update

    Greetings,
    If you aren't already aware, there is a serious flaw in the most recent update to the Samsung Galaxy S3. The 4.3 update causes a serious issue with battery drain, screen responsiveness and some apps not functioning properly. If you search for this issue you’ll find it’s not carrier specific. This update was originally delayed due to battery drain and other issues yet here we are with a December roll out and the same issues. I called Verizon today and they are aware of this issue but have not received a plethora of calls (yet) according to the rep I spoke to.
    Bottom line, if you have not installed the update, DO NOT. Wait until a fix has been implemented. I’m lucky if I get 10 hours of light use when I could go 24 hours prior to the update. If I make a few phone calls and use any apps I am forced to charge my phone within a few hours. This is by far the worst issue I’ve ever had with this phone. Up until now everything has been quite solid. If you are having this issue please call Verizon so this can be escalated. I’m hoping a fix will be pushed out in the next couple of months or sooner. My Galaxy S3 is not rooted as I really never found a huge need to do so. Hopefully this issue will not push me in that direction. All I want is a phone that works as expected. You can try using the Deep Sleep Battery Saver app which has a free version for the time being.
    May the force be with you, always…..

    I noticed in December after an update that my phone was having significant battery drain issues. I also had issues with the phone suddenly shutting off when the battery wasn't even all the way ran down, but would not turn on until it was plugged in again.
    Now today I received another update. This one I had no choice but to receive. The battery is once again WORSE. I hate the new look on this update. Features I  used that were standard on the phone (such as T9 word) have disappeared and forced me to use an app to replace it (again, HATE that).  I realize the updates are essential to have the latest technology but I DO NOT understand why features disappear. This is so irritating I'm about to opt out of even having a smartphone all together. I got this phone when it was on the market 2 weeks. Its "old"  and my contract isnt even near up! Its ridiculous at best.

  • IPhone 5 battery draining after iOS 6.0.2 update even on standby mode without wifi/ 3G at all.

    My newly bought iPhone 5 was on iOS 6.0.1
    everything worked fine and i had no wifi nor battery issues at all until I upgraded it to iOS 6.0.
    i noticed some battery drainage even when i'm not using my phone at all it still drains 1-2% on standby mode with no wifi nor 3G at all in an hour,
    If i use wifi it'll drain 4-5% in a few minutes time, more serious case when i use 3G, it's literally draining in EVERY SINGLE MINUTE.

    Per designed, Wi-Fi will disconnect in sleep mode to save battery.
    If you want Wi-Fi to stay connected even in sleep mode, plugin to a wall power socket.
    No it's not "per design". It's not supposed to disconnect when locked/in sleep mode. The whole concept of having live notifications to work when your phone is locked is the standard for smartphones. Having this feature only accessable when pluging/charging the phone is rediculous and counter-productive. But it's good to know that I'm not the only one who has this issue. I hope all our issues are solved swiftly, good luck to you all

  • E6 battery drain after microsoft apps update

    just two days ago i updated with microsoft apps in my e6 belle. Now the battery doesn't last even a day. I went to installations in settings and tried to uninstall microsoft apps, but a pop up says 'file cannot be deleted'. How do I uninstall microsoft apps from E6 belle? Seriously upset with nokia. at this rate i will start a facebook page telling people to switch to android, with nokia anyway already suffering from the osborne effect. Really upset. Just tell me how to remove this slow and useless microsoft apps from my supposedly good business phone e6? I was much happier using the faster and more user friendly quickoffice.

  • Heavy Battery Drain after updating to 8.1 Lumia Cy...

    After updating my Lumia 1520 to 8.1 Cyan update, the battery drain is very high. The battery is lasting only for 6 to 7 hours when the data traffic is on  (under  mixed use of 2G and 3G modes). I have noticed few other users were also experiencing heavy battery drain after the Cyan update.
    Will there be an update to fix this battery drain issue?
    When the phone was in WP 8 Lumia Black update, battery backup was around 24-30 hrs (when data traffic was on).
    What will be the workaround for this?

    Yep, my 1520 battery drains like a helicopter that's lost it's rotor after this 8.1 update.
    I was just boasting last weekend how awesome the battery life was on this phone, I drove 300mi with the GPS w/navigation, did some tethering to my laptop for work, went overnight..no charging, used lightly all the next day, few pictures, email, browsing, phone calls, and drove 300mi back on GPS/navigation and I still had 38% battery left.
    I updated to 8.1 sunday night, and on my normal commute to a customer in another state, which under 8.0 would have drained oh...mabey 4-5%, I was at 62% by the time I got to this customer yesteday.
    All I did was make a phone call, that's it. All background stuff is not allowed. location off, cortana off, ...still drains.
    Bad bad bad news. I'm not seeing much usefull ness out of 8.1, and considering the battery life and no real new features....just gimmicks if you ask me, I'm not sure I want to stay at 8.1 . I'm trying to give it a chance...battery life is still better than my POS samsung androids I've had in the past, but knowing how good it really can be...and no real features in 8.1 (I was hopeing they'd fix the imap email not allowed to map sent/trash/inbox issue)....eshh...what a mess it seems.

  • Battery drain after update to 10.2

    i noticed high battery drain after i have updated to 10.2. i charged phone to 100% yesterday at 16:00 and now 17h later it is 61%. - i wrote 4 sms'es, 1 short phone call, and that's all. i tried restart few times, checked out if network settings are same as before, nothing helps.
    battery application is estimating discharging speed at level of 1% every 24 min. before at the same usage it was at least 50 mins. i heard 10.2 has better battery efficiency, but not for me. anyone has similar experiences after update?

    Double check that your Network settings are how you want them as after an upgrade they have a habit of changing.
    On my Verizon phone it redefaulted to Global which really burned my battery instead of limiting it to LTE/CDMA, once I changed it back battery life was back (or better) than previously.

  • My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update!

    My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update! Before this all happened, I noticed that my apps crashed unexpectedly, it was laggy, and it decides to reset on its own at times. I CAN'T charge or plug it into my computer. Also, my home button is sunk in but my sleep/wake button at the top is most definitely not. I know my iPod was not running out of battery and I did not even power it off. I am very disappointed but I really need it to turn on =/

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
