Battery drains ios7.1

ios 7.1 update battery drains thunder fast

Have you tried disabling iCloud services? I suspect that this was what fixed it for me. I'm hoping a future update will resolve the issue and I can reenable it.

  • IOS7 Palattes: Why default to max brightness and battery drain?

    After upgrading to iOS7 today my brightness slider was set to its maximum setting. I didn't think anything of it until I reduced it to 1/2 which is where I normally keep it to save on battery. I typically never have to change it even when outdoors. Today I received the surprise of a lifetime: It needs to be at near maximum just to see details like the call status bar. The WHITE text on the BRIGHT green bar is absolutely horrible and near impossible to read. I was hoping that I could change the color scheme of the status bar palettes but no luck. The best I could manage was to change the background wallpaper to a near black color that helped out only a tiny bit. What a waste of Retna display.
    I can no longer use product this in an airplane cockpit for flight planning. I will have to abandon my planned purchase of an iPAD mini  with Retna unless I can get iOS 6 on it
    In the day light these new white screen backgrounds require loads more brightness to be able to see details and therefore causing unexpected battery drain not to mention creating a hazard of a night blindess (old scheme had dark backgrounds light text instead of other way around)..
    Questions:
    - How do we get rid of the white screens that require max brightness to see detail?
    - How do we get customizable palattes? Customer knows better than Apple -- my eyesight can't handle white text and bright backgrounds for status bars.
    - Will Apple see this as a priority one issue and give us CHOICES on the PALATTE schemes?

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation.
    I have had battery drain problem on the Ipod Touch 4th generation.
    But, I found a solution that works for me:
    Do the IOS update (the one that is the latest, or if you already did, then proceed to step 2)
    Reset All Settings: SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET ALL SETTINGS
    Use it until it dies (automatically shuts off)
    Plug into Charge
    Leave it 1.5 hours or longer after it reaches 100% --> Undisturbed (preferably overnight)
    Give it a few days to Calibrate
    This has helped me on my Ipod Touch 4th generation, running IOS 6.0.1
    The battery seems to give me 2 days 30 hours of standby, and 10 hours and 15 minutes of usage.
    Thats pretty good!

  • Battery drain after installing IOS7 on Iphone 4

    Hi
    I have recently installed IOS7 on my IPhone 4.
    The battery drains really quickly even when I am not doing anything with the phone. I never had these problem before updating.
    Suggestions please???
    Thanks

    I have also noticed what appears to be decreased battery life after the upgrade, though not this bad.  Seems many people are noticing problems. 
    I noticed and changed a couple of settings that seem to have helped.
    - first, fully shut off the phone and then turn it back on - i read online this helped some, immediately after the update.
    - in mail settings, for the icloud account (I dont use this but it was configured by default) check the sync settings . it defaults to push, which takes more power.  you might want to disable push and set to fetch for this and any other accounts you have, for additional power savings
    - in settings, location services, scroll to the bottom and tap system services : All of them are defaulted to on.  I turned off location-based iads and setting time zone since i dont need those. (I also opted out of the diagnostics and usage as part of the setup, but it was set to on in this screen - i left it on for the time)
    - also in settings -- location settings:  check the list of apps and verify that only the ones you want, are enabled
    These few settings seem to have improved things

  • Will iOS7.1 Increase Battery Drain?

    Good Day!
    I am currently using iPhone 5S running iOS7.0.4 and I am very impressed with it's battery life.
    I have seen some company of mine who experienced increase in battery drain , and people on the internet who experienced the same problem too.
    Would You please state the Negative Effects of updating to iOS7.1
    Do You think I Should Update?
    I update via iTunes; Advised by Apple experts.

    I personly, am running iOS 7.1 on an iPhone 5s.  I have not seen any decrease in battery life.  HOWEVER, there are many posts in the forum where people are not happy after updating.  Once you update, there is NO going back.  So, if you are happy with what you have, leave it.  If you want the security fixes and other benefits of updating to 7.1, update. 
    Read the forums, use the internet.  Make your choice.

  • Ios7.0.6 Iphone5 battery drain please help

    Ever since I updated to ios7, i have noticed a MONSTROUS decline in battery life. I was weary to update in the first place and waited almost 2 months before I did. Regrettably, i gave in. Battery life declined almost 75%.. I turned off every single power hungry feature, even LTE. Nothing helped. After further research, I tried to restore as a new phone.. Nothing. Restore from backup, nothing. I have taken every single measure to reduce the battery drain to NO AVAIL. So about a month ago i called apple, being out of warranty for about 4 months, they ran a test on the battery and found it was at 91% which i was told was pretty good for a 14-15 month old phone. They offered battery replacement for 100$ or so and said "it may not even fix the problem". The other solution was to buy a new iphone. UNACCEPTABLE!! They offer no help, and even hinted that the software is the problem. And then told me it may also be another hardware problem(being the owner, i know for a FACT it is a software problem caused by ios7, as the battery life was great before the update and terrible immediately after). And basically told me i was S.O.L. My question is this, has anyone found ANY possible way to fix this issue short of downgrading(if even possible)? Please refrain from the basic and known ways, as I have tried them all many times.. Im looking for a REAL solution to the problem. And if this issue is not remedied or fixed by apple soon, they may lose ANOTHER customer to android. I have had iphones since my 3g and this is by far the most irritating problem i have encountered. Please someone help! Im not ready to get a new 800$ phone in less than 2 years! And i know for a fact battery replacement will barely help if at all.

    Try:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                     
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have updated ipad3 to ios7 and now battery drains very fast even when not in use

    Why is my battery draining so fast even when I'm not using it . last night I put it down with 45% and woke up to dead battery. I upgraded to ios7 last week. I have ipad 3.thanks

    Hi!
    I have an iPad 3,3 GSM. I didn't update it since iOS 5.1.1. iPad works almost a week for me. And updated it to 7.1 at last Friday.
    After update my battery drains notable fast. ~10-12% overnight(~8h) in standby mode. I've tried to turn off parallax, all location services and background apps. But nothing's changed.
    So I''ve found that in usage section I ve almost the same values of usage and standby time. And I realized that one thing that drains my battery is "Find my ipad" service!!! I turned off it and my ipad works as with iOS 5.1.1:
    2% overnight max!! And now it's drained only 14% after 4h20m of usage with parallax turned on! (yes i've only surfed web and read a book but nevertheless)
    So it's your choice what to prefer - be sure that your ipad either protected from stealing or long battery life!

  • IPhone 4 Shuts Off repeatedly and battery drains after ios7 update

    This morning at 5:20 am, my alarm went off on my iphone like normal, I plugged my 100% battery charged iphone out of its charger and within 30 seconds it turned off. I quickly plugged it back in the charger and it dropped to 41%. Then as I had to start my morning and get to work and take the phone again out of its charger, it died again. So I got to work, and I have put my phone to "charge" while plugged to the charger, but as time passes, instead of charging my battery it looses life, then I recieved a notification to update my phone, which I did however this did not help my phone, it still continues to turn off once I plug the phone  out of the charger.

    Same here. My ipad mini used to last weeks, now I can barely get a full day out of it, after I finally updated to ios7. And yes I disabled every possible battery drainer I could find and rebooted. This is clearly to me a bug for the mini, possibly their code that drains batteries on older devices to force people to buy new hardware is running faster than it used to when it would only kill your battery twice as fast, perhaps something else I would hope, but I'm about to hack my device and return to ios 6 as this is absurd. I can put my ipad down for a few hours and pick it up with a 5% drain or overnight with a 70% drain.

  • Heavy battery drain in iOS7 with iPhone 5

    Hello everyone,
    As soon as Apple announced its newer upgrade, iOS 7, i've installed that but i noticed a heavy battery drain in my iphone 5. For example, yesterday night i charged my phone to 100 % and by today's morning it was at 77% ( without any usage). I can see the battery percent decreasing with my eyes. in iOS6, i used to get 24 hours stand by and 7 hours usage in 3g cellular and wifi but in iOS, i didnt even get 3 hours of usage in 3g cellular or wifi.
    I got an error after downloading of 753MB of iOS 7 upgrade, i guess it is something like "error in downloading or something" and i discarded that error message and it was asked me to click on "install" option and it was restarted and installed the new OS to my mobile. Everything seems good except battery drain and weather app, which always shows "Haze" even though my city was experiencing thunderstorms. A half sun covered by clouds or ground in the "Now" position. Not even updating.
    I tried restarting and resetting the phone with network settings but of no use.
    Any help??
    Thanks

    I wouldn't restore at this point.
    I would do this:  re-calibrate the battery.
    Let the battery drain until the phone is completely dead. (the iPhone powers-itself off!)
    plug it in and allow it to charge to 100% [do NOT use it, do NOT unplug it]
    This will re-calibrate the charging circuitry with what is reported. It's often likely that the battery report is a false one.
    At 100% charge, use the phone normally and watch the performance of the battery.

  • IPhone 5S Battery Draining Unusually fast

    I got an iPhone 5S in November and for the first few months it was working fine. For the past two weeks I have noticed the battery draining unusally quickly. Like the battery drains an avg 1-2% on 5 mins of me just using the phone on Instagram. I regularly close all my apps and live in Pakistan where there is no 3G so the LTE issue should not come into play either. I have read countless articles on how to fix your battery life and have tried everything from turning location services off to brightness to anything that is being suggested, even re installed iOS7 on my phone. I have to know charge my phone three times a day from it usually giving me a full day on standby. Any suggestions please?

    Take it back to the Apple store and tell them that didn't fix the issue. You might have a hardware issue. Before you take it back though do a backup on your computer.

  • 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 ..........

  • Iphone 4s IOS 7.0.4 update battery drain issues

    I hope this gets to apple in regards to the issue of the battery drain. I have been following several discussions for the past couple of weeks and everyone seems to have some type of idea on what the problem is. I'm not a service tech or gadget know all, but I have been performing several "Nonscientific" test to see what is draining my battery.
    I have a 4s that has always had good battery life. It seemed to run consistent to what was detailed in the product specs. I would only need to charge it every other day on limited use or the next day with heavy use. After updating to the latest update (IOS 7.0.4), the battery would drain in less than a day on limited use which is a couple of text, couple of email checks, 3 to 4 phone calls at less than 10 minutes each - no internet searches or game play.
    So, after reading everyones suggestions in the forums and trying them, the battery still drained just as fast, if not faster. I read a post somewhere regarding “Bluetooth” constantly searching. So, I saw mine was doing the same. Someone replied to that person that it should not be the issue, as it does not use much power to run its task. (I found they were wrong)
    Here is my nonscientific test, but a good one. (for the record I had nothing on in the notification center, Do not disturb off, only thing on in Privacy - location services was google maps, Siri, Yelp, and Find my phone; iCcloud was off; background app refreash was off; email fetch data was off; everything else was off)
    Day 1 - I fully charged my phone several hours, I unplugged it at night before going to bed, did a hard reset to make sure every app was off, and only opened the settings app and made sure the Bluetooth was onand searching. I checked my phone 6 hours later and saw the battery drained from 100% to 56% with no usage other than just being on and in sleep mode. That would mean it drained at 7.3333 % an hour. Some would say that acceptable. - Its not when there is no usage. The battery would die in 13 hours with no usage.
    Day 2 - I repeated the test (as above), but turned off the bluetooth. I checked my phone 6 hours later and saw the battery did not drain at all.  I started with a 100% and battery was still at a 100% with no usage other than just being on and in sleep mode. I opened a couple of apps and closed them to prevent them from running in the back ground and noticed I lost about 2% of charge after usinging it checking an app or 2. I put it back to sleep mode and checked it again in an hour and saw it only drained 3% down to 97%. Very acceptible.
    Day 3 - I repeated the test, but during regular day hours with limited use of the phone (with bluetooth off). I was back to getting close to a normal battery drain I was experiencing prior to the update. I know that IOS 7.0.4 uses a little more battery power to run as it has different features and abilities, so the battery drain was not like it was before, but a lot better.
    So, my experiment concluded to me that the new update is causing the bluetooth searching to run in the back ground continuously and causing the battery to drain unacceptably fast on my phone. This is a program issue that can be fixed by Apple. I find it unacceptable to have to control my bluetooth manually, as I never had to do it before and I shouldn't have to do it now. I hope Apple will fix it soon. I‘ve been a apple product person for years, and enjoy the products, but lately they have been not been satisfactory in the phone business. I have been playing with a samsung galaxy thats looking very promising, if apple doesn’t fix the issue everyone is having, they will loose business to competitors.
    Please fix the issue!

  • IPhone 5 battery drains quickly, HELP

    Ok, ive been banging my head against the wall for the last week because of my iphone 5.
    I bought it august 2012
    My orginal battery really started draining quickly 2 weeks ago. when it was dead it would not charge or power up. I brought it back to the shop where i bought and they sent it back because i thought it was under warranty. Turns out because i changed the screen myself a few weeks back my warranty was now void.
    I bought a new battery online and replaced it myself, i left the new battery drain to the red and then charged for 12 hours. it still drained in about 4 hours. rechrged again for 6 hours and same result.
    If there is any body that has any advice for me i would be delighted,
    Thanks for listening 

    Do you also own an iPad?  I have struggled with all solutions to fast depleting battery on iphone 4s (and ipad) since installing ios7. I sync via icloud to my ipad and noticed the b stopped if I powered off the ipad for a day! ios7 must have set up some cycle that drained both devices. Now I have set the ipad to manual (not push) on icloud and diary sync and battery life is back to normal for a whole week  it can last 48 hours with light use- no longer have to keep shutting down all apps and turning off bluetooth and wifi to get through a day! Any one else found the same solution?

  • Iphone 4s shuts down when it battery life gets to about 17%. prior to IOS 7 it would shut down at about 1%. What's up? (Oh, when I plug in recharge, the battery indicates it's at 17% or so. So, I'm not referring to battery drain).

    My iPhone 4s shuts down when battery indicater reaches about 17%. When I recharge, indicater shows about 17%, so apparently this isn't fast battery drain. Oh, this happens since IOS7.

    See if your phone is one that Apple has noted as requiring a replacement battery: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/
