Battery drain on my iPhone 5 after installing iOS 7.

Ok first off I would like to point out I was getting 5-6 hours of usage on LTE with iOS 6 and 8-9 hours of usage on wifi. With that being said, I updated to the new iOS 7 and ever since I've noticed a significant drop in usage on LTE and wifi with iOS 7. Now I'm getting 3-4 hours usage on LTE and 5-6 hours on wifi. I've turned off the refresh background apps switch and I turned all but one app off pertaining to location services. So, I have run out of options to improve battery life. Is there a bug in iOS 7? Please help

Updated to iOS7 and have been watching my battery usage. For instance yesterday I noticed, after unplugging my phone from overnight charge, that after 14+ hrs of normal use I still had 55% of my battery left. I couldn't be happier. I've never had any phone last that long before. I also did the same as you, turned off as much "battery draining" apps as possible. Maybe a "hard" reset might help. Good Luck

Not sure if you had any luck with this 'princessksee' but I had literally the very same issue, very frustrating to say the least.
Sometimes it is the simple fix that works and in this case, ChrisJ4203 provided the right handshake required to get me back up and running by doing the reset as he describes above.
The key is ensuring that you hold down the sleep/wake and home buttons at the same time and wait much longer than you think you need to.
Hope you had similiar success and assume that there will be others who will access this resource for this very same problem.
Wanted to see that you had been sorted and also to let others know that this is a good place to start.
Overall very happy with the new features included in this update despite this small issue.

HT204406 iTunes Match is not working on my iPhone 4S after installing iOS 6. I finally see a list of artists, but the songs are all empty and will not play, and no play lists are present.

iTunes Match is not working after the iOS 6 install. All music that was previously downloaded is gone. When the "Music App" is opened, I see a picture of a cloud, and a progress bar that goes nowhere. Then it goes away. No playlists are present. It shows artists, and albums, but all songs are empty. Nothing plays.
Is there a fix for this, or are the Apple Servers simply totally overwhelmed, and this is a matter of being annoyed and patient until it finally connects.
Thanks!

Same issue for me.
Some further peculiar things I noticed:
Directly after updating to iOS 6 I had to switch on iTunes Match again (iPhone settings). Then I realized that my music was gone (as described above).
Under settings -> usage one could see that the memory space was still occupied by the huge music library (i.e. there where only 9 of 64 GB free). This changed after several hours. Now there are only 9 GB used, the rest is free. So the library is really gone.
Since then my iPhone continuously downloads some unknown data from the internet (even if all apps are closed and I deselect the use of mobile networks at the several menus in the settings). All apps are closed. The iPhone gets hot and downloads something. It downloaded nearly 400 MB in the last 48 hours via mobile networks. (I got a flatrate, so I don't really care about the data.)
Does anyone know what this means? Thanks for any help!

HT201210 after install ios 6.1.3 imessage cant use

my iphone 4 after install ios 6.1.3 imessage,facetime and icloud cant use

"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

After installing iOS 6 battery life is awful on iPhone 4S

Hello All,
I just want to share a problem I am having with my iphone 4s. After installing iOS 6.0.1 on it, the battery life is very bad, I could probably say unacceptable, after fully charging it, it would not last even 12 hours before the battery runs out and also i have noticed that the battery or back of the phone gets hot, I would say hotter than before I did the upgrade. I am just wondering if anyone could share some thoughts. I hope Apple comes out with a fix to this issue because I have noticed that a lot of people are having this problem.
Thank you

Hmmm...Apple doesn't support downgrading. If true you must have jailbroken your phone rather than properly repair the problem.

My own Battery Drain Issues on iPhone 5

Hello guys, I've just created an account here to share my many issues with iPhone 5.
Well, this wasn't my Apple's 1st product, as I've had Ipod touch 2g and 3g, as well as an iPhone 3g. But it's my first time experiencing crazy battery issues with an Apple product, wich is really sad and disappoint, since this is the MOST expensive cell phone in my country (Brazil).
It all started about a week after I bought my iPhone 5. One morning I was on the bus, going to work, and my iPhone had about 99% battery remaining. 1h20 later, when I arrived at work, I had about 80% battery, so I panicked.
Suddenly I realized I was a victim of the common i5 battery drain. I was loosing 1% battery each 3~5 minutes IN STAND BY. And my settings are the same as they've ever been: wi-fi off, 3G off, 4G off (since it's not available in Brazil), brightness on minimum, no weak cell phone coverage etc. So, I shouldn't be experiencing this at all.
After reading lots of threads around the web, I realized that the ONLY solution to this would RESET AND START YOUR IPHONE AS A NEW ONE. No backups, no deleting apps and data. Sometimes removing email accounts would work, but as I didn't use this stuff, restarting my phone seemed to be the solution.
So I did it and, apparently, my problems were solved. My phone has worked perfectly for 2+ months. And then I let it fully discharge - but it's was not the first time it' happened. After I recharged for 4h, I started loosing battery really fast again, so the battery drain have came back. It was so frustrating.
Then I sent my iphone to an authorized reseller and they manage to give me a new replacement phone. They've checked my old i5 and detected a battery issue. My charger and cable were also tested but they were ok.
Well, after the very first charge on my new phone - and I've set it up as a new phone - the battery drain started again. I couldn't believe it.
So now I'm waiting for my 3rd iphone 5 in 3 months...
PS: My original iPhone 5 was bought in the USA, and the replacement one came from Brazil. Both were running iOS 6.1.4 when the issues started.
After all that, here are my conclusions:
1) In normal conditions, with wi-fi, 3G and LTE off, you should expect your iPhone 5 to waste 1% of battery every 1h30~2h15 on STANDBY. This is based on my best iphone performance and on Apple's information: iPhone 5 should have 225h of battery time (in standby) at it's best. Since 100% = 225h, every 2h15min you should expect to "waste" 1% of battery, on standby.
Sometimes, overnight, your phone might have an even better battery life: my friend only lost 1% for about 8h/9h overnight. But this is just not common. Expect to loose about 2%~3% every night with all apps closed and no wifi/3G/LTE.
2) If you detect a battery drain, GO TO AN APPLE STORE/RESELLER RIGHT THE WAY. Don't even bother trying a reset, as I did, because it might solve the problem for a while, but it CAN come back. Go to the apple store and ask for a diagnostic of your phone and battery. It will save you a lot of time.
3) There are MANY causes to battery drains. The most common ones seem to be: 1- Push notifications/email related stuff -> Reset email, internet and settings. 2- Facebook app -> reinstall app. 3- Defective battery - go to apple store/genius and ask for a replacement phone.
4) If an iPhone comes from factory with battery issues, expect AT LEAST ONE other issue. My original phone's touch screen was unresponsive when charging on PC and connect to iTunes and my replacement phone's microphone was not working properly. So expect other defective parts
5) With my experience, I've realized I might have discovered A NEW CAUSE TO BATTERY DRAIN: A DEFECTIVE NANO-SIM CARD. Why? Well, because it's the only thing that I have used on both my iPhones (original and replacement ones). And it's the only thing thats has never been tested (both my charger and cable were tested on apple's reseller and were ok). And in my replacement phone, after I removed the SIM, I started loosing 1% battery every 1h20, when on stand by and with no wi-fi, 3G or LTE. So, if you have a battery issue CONSIDER THE SIM CARD TO BE THE PROBLEM.
Also, when my replacement phone was near any amplifier/pc speaker, it would make the amp make that "call or text incoming" sound. (to understand this, put your phone near an amplifier/speaker and ask for someone to call you). This makes me believe that the SIM card was, somehow, defective and making my phone receiving data (and I mean only telephone data, like related to calls and sms) when it shouldn't.
That's all my friends. If anyone has ever experienced this crazy issues, please try to help me. I'm getting a new sim card, iOS7 and my 3rd replacement phone and let's see if it works as it should.
Sorry for the MANY mistakes, my English is not good =\.
Cheers from Brazil!

Hi Folks,
iPhone & iPad2 battery drain issue SOLVED!!!!!
I had a serious battery drain problem on THREE devices using different iOS .... it was a simple fix and had certain characteristics that you may be able to relate to ......
Devices;     16GB iPhone 4 with IOS6
                  16GB iPhone 4S with iOS7.06
                  32G iPad2 with iOS7.04
On or about Feb. 28th all three devices started to drain the battery like crazy losing about 20%/hour on the iPhones and 10%/hour on the iPad2 .... After messing around with settings, browsing forums and looking at what was common between the three devices I concluded the problem was with a single Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail email account in the iOS native mail app .... I deleted the email account on all three devices (along with other unrelated Microsoft accounts on each device) and did a hard reboot (hold HOME and top LOCK button simultaniously for about 10 seconds until the apple logo appeared).
I then re-created the common Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail account on all three devices in the iOS native mail app ...... SUCCESS! Now all three devices are behaving normaly with respect to battery drain ......
Hopefully this will be useful to others in this thread ..........

After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

Hello Rach Ryan
First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.
iOS: Force an app to close

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

I upgraded to iphone 4s and installed iOS 6 but now my battery life is significantly reduced. What can I do to fix this problem?

I upgraded to iphone 4s and installed iOS 6 but now my battery life is significantly reduced. What can I do to fix this problem?
I restored my settings my I got the new phone but I think I heard that with the iOS 6 updated that can be an issue and it is better to start from scratch rather than restore your settings.

reset all settings
settings- general- reset - reset all settings
now reconnect to wifi
settings - wifi- click network name - enter password - join
if issue persists backup info and restore via itunes
Peace, Clyde

After installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4, why is my camera taking purple pictures?

Immediately after installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4 on 9/22/12, when I attempt to use any of my phone apps, everything is colored in purple tint (see attached image). This includes taking video as well. If I flip the camera to the self facing camera, the purple goes away. This only happens on the front facing camera. I've tried googling this issue and cannot find anyone else complaining about this. Any ideas???

So, now I'm starting to feel like I'm the one and only lucky SOB to have this purple issue. For anyone who reads this, some more detail. Since posting this thread, I did a full reset from my iphone and that did not resolve the issue. Then, last night I did a full system restore from itunes which took about 4 hours and that didn't solve it either.
After all this, I started thinking that perhaps there's something wrong with the lens hardware but yesterday for approx 3 full seconds, the camera was normal then there was a stutter and it went purple again. Sounds like a software issue, so I'm really baffled why a system restore wouldn't cure this. Ugh!

HT4623 I can't activate Location Services after installing ios& on Iphone 5.... any ideas?

I can't activate Location Services after installing ios& on Iphone 5.... any ideas?

I had the same issue with one of the three iPhones I updated on Wednesday. There are many processes that are working for people including:
- Resetting the device several times
- Toggling the "Dont' Allow Changes" setting under "Restrictions --> Location Services"
- Disabling Restrictions altogether.
- Restoring from backup
I was able to restore location services by selecting "Reset" and choosing "Erase All Content and Settings" to set the phone up as new. When the phone resets and goes through the setup process, I was given the option to turn on location services. I then restored from backup and was good to go.
Some people have been able to resolve the issue by resetting but only using "Reset All Settings" without having to erase all content, but that did not work for me. It took a while to get everything back to normal, but it is good to know that there was a somewhat simple solution.
