Battery Life Degraded After Restoring from Jailbreak

I recently did a jailbreak on my phone and decided I didn't like it. I restored the phone to Apple factory settings and everything is fine except the battery. It will not hold a charge more than a few hours -- and that's on STANDBY, not actually using the phone or making calls!
Is there anything else I need to do to erase all traces of the jailbreak? Or is there anything I can do to improve my battery life?
I've already done the following:
1) lowered the screen brightness
2) close programs when not in use
3) changed auto-lock time to 1 minute (the shortest possible)

Very few applications run in the background - the number of applications that run in the background are very few and far between. An app being in the recently used apps bar or dock means just that - it was recently used. It does not mean the apps are running in the background.

  • Battery Life Degrading after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

    Hi Community Members,
    Just after purchasing the Mid 2012 Macbook Air 13", the battery life was good 7+hours for usual use, including browsing, emails, vpn access etc. After upgrading to ML on 26th July 2012, the battery life depleted down to barely 3.5 hrs now, very disappointed with this experience barely after a few weeks of this new portable. Tried some workarounds for like the SMC reset, uninstalling Flash etc but no success. Don't have power nap enabled which a lot of people feel is the reason for the battery draining out. More concerning is that the FCC ( Full Charge Capacity) has dropped to 96% ( 6431 mAh) from its original 6700 mAh with the Power Cycle count as 24. Spoke to Apple Care today and has been advised to do a Battery Calibration and then get the battery checked up at an Authorised Service Centre. Apple claims it has nothing to do with the Mountain Lion upgrade. Will come back with more updates tomorrow.
    Any workarounds or success stories with others ?? Very unhappy and disappointed with my new Mac !!!
    Cheers

  • How can I see my messages after restoring from backup?

    I have 2.1gb of messages saved in my storage on my 4s but they're not in messages after restoring from backup.
    How can I get all my messages back in my message app because I know they're their it's just a matter of getting them restored into the app.

    When you restored your phone from an old backup, it wiped ALL data from your phone and replaced it with the data from that backup.  It's like your phone went back in time. 
    Your data that was on the phone before you did the restore is now gone forever.  There is no way to get these data back.

  • After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all.

    After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all.  Everything else seems to by fine, however. I have all my apps, contacts, even my photostream back, but my camera roll has said "downloading 137 of 1,345" for two days.  I really don't want to have to start over as the whole process took almost 3 hours. Help?

    Someone mentioned that syncing with ITunes, making sure that photos are being synced - even with an empty folder, fixed the problem.  I tried it and it didn't work for me.  Anyone got any answers that don't include losing the photos or erasing and restoring from backup again?

  • After restore from backup, iphone is not getting start, only apple logo is there on screen

    after restore from backup, iphone is not getting start, only apple logo is there on screen

    Hi there.
    Try some basic trouble shooting steps first, before looking into some advanced issues that might be causing this. The first thing I would try, is holding down the power button and home button at the same time until the screen turns off on you. See what steps you can take from there, if any.
    Kind Regards.

  • I am getting a flashing ad to upgrade to increase battery life.  Is that from Apple and is it safe?

    i am getting a flashing ad on my scrabble app offering an upgrade to increase battery life.  Is that from Apple and is it safe to download and will it truly increase the battery life.   I play scrabble and words with friends, i do not watch videos or anything and the battery life *****

    The iPhone 3G can not be updated anymore so don't click ads like the they don't work. Also the iPhone 3G is old enough that it needs a battery change. You can go to apple or an authorized service provider.

  • Where can I find un-recovered photos after restoring from Icloud

    Where can I find un-recovered photos after restoring from Icloud?

    They would only be stored in your backup.  If they didn't restore properly all you can do is try restoring the backup again.

  • Super drive is not working after Restoring from Time Machine

    well its pretty much the Subject actually, my imac giving me BlueScreen problem so i searched and posted question and the only Solution i got was to Re-install Leopard and i did that by using Leopard DVD and Restored my imac from Time Machine backup, But i got into new problem and now the TIME after restoring from the "Time Machine" my DVD ejecting EVERY CD,DVD etc. even the Leopard DVD which he reads happily.
    I dont think its a hardware fault at all, but i'm not a "Genious". Any suggestion!

    Issue solved with visit to Genius Bar.
    As I understand it here are the steps the Genius did. Attempt to create the account (system preferences->users) with the same information. It will say it already exists. Very carefully read the options. One will say use the existing account. BE CAREFUL because one option will wipe your data.
    If you need to do this it might be worth the trip to the Genius Bar as you could wipe your data. One precaution I took was to bring a full copy of that user account onto my desktop (from the backup immediately before the wipe) in addition to the one in the user folder. Once we verified that the account was working I moved the desktop copy to the trash and again verified the account (just to be safe).
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • After restoring from backup on a new phone (same model, just replacement) all my apps are showing as waiting....I have sync'd but still without any joy - this has been going on for hours

    It just means some spammer is using your email address as the sender address for their spam. This is very easy to do - anyone can do it simply by changing the From email address in their email program. It does not mean your account was hacked or you have a virus (there are no current Mac viruses on the loose anyway, nor has there been for years).
    There's nothing you can do about it. It can happen to anyone and the spammers will move on to using someone else's email address before long.

  • Odd battery life issues after improvement w/ 5.1

    I have an iPhone 4 GSM (AT&T) that was experiencing significant battery life issues with the previous version of iOS (5.0.1?).
    After updating to iOS 5.1, the battery life improved signifcantly - I could now get comfortably through a day with 50% remaining at bedtime versus 20%.
    In the last couple weeks the battery life started getting worse and worse, to the point where I could barely get home from work and it would be 10-20%. I started to pare back the settings like Location Services, notifications, frequency of email checking, etc. with no improvement. I noticed the phone seemed to be running warmer than usual, so I thought there may be some software issue causing an infinite loop...
    I Reset Network Settings as I've heard that can help - no difference. Then I wiped the iPhone and restored from backup - no difference. Finally I wiped the iPhone and set up as New, only installing a few apps and being very conservative with push, GPS settings etc. I am still down to 20% by 5 pm, and this is with light use. Wifi is on all the time, which is what I primarily use, but it never caused this much drain.
    It's also quite variable - the other day I made it home with about 70% battery life, but then it dropped 25% in 30 minutes with only light usage (email/web).
    Is the battery itself going bad, and/or is there any way I can test it? I got this phone as a warranty replacement (probably a refurb) in July  2011 so I don't think the battery is that old.

    Just an update. I totally wiped my iPhone 4, and turned everything off including keeping it in Airplane Mode and it seemed to help a little - it was over 80% at noon without any use. Of course, the phone is useless like this. As soon as I turned wifi on at work (still left the cellular radio off) it started dropping fast.
    It must be the battery going bad, but I was just wondering if there are any other suggestions. I don't want to pay to get a new battery installed if I don't have to, since by this fall I will be eligible to upgrade to iPhone 5 if it comes out.

  • Battery life gone after "upgrading" to 4.3 (iPhone 3GS)

    I've lost all battery life after upgrading last night to ios 4.3! I barely get 5-6 hours, whereas I always got a full day (probably two if i let it run down) before the upgrade. I can't believe this is a coincidence. How do I go back to 4.2? Or is there a cure for this?

    OK, problem solved, with the help of Apple Support.
    They suggested that I re-install the upgrade using Restore on iTunes. So I backed-up the iPhone, did a Restore to factory settings, and then restored all the apps, music etc from the back-up. The phone was fully charged 8 hours ago now, and has gone down to 80% with some occasional use .... this is typical for my 3GS. So: "Restore to Factory Settings" worked. Don't ask me why!

  • Massive battery life drop after Internet Recovery OS re-install

    Hey,
    A couple months ago, I made the brilliant decision to try to install Windows 7 with Boot Camp at 3am on a weekend after several days of no sleep (unfortunately, this is one of the least-poor poor decisions I've made recently, but I suppose that's for another forum). Long story short, Og turn on MacBook, Og open Disk Utility, Og click-click, SSD go bye-bye—formatted, every last bit of it (haha, me make pun-pun!). Luckily, ML ships virtually tard-proofed, so there's little I can do besides showering with Bernie (this pun courtesy of the 'lil sis; I'm innocent) to make him breathe his last. This little bit of Apple genius is irrefutable proof of God—praised be his noodly appendage. But ever since Internet Recovery blessed me with Bernie II (R'amen), I've noticed during countless nights lying with him in bed that his stamina has decreased significantly, versus his pre-IR days. I can't give you firm numbers of his endurance before the operation, but now, after even the least vigourous play, he's drained beyond further exertion after no more than 2-2.5 hours. I've tried various tweaks to increase battery life—making sure his mail parts are only shooting off when I work them manually, the same for receiving messages as well, and I've been monitoring his GPU usage; thanks to ML he's much more conscientious about being discrete, and I rarely have to limit him to using his integrated components. (Note: I'm using writing this as an excuse to start an essay, and its foundation really needs to get laid ASAP, so unfortunately the allusions/euphemisms stop here.) Again, I can't give precise numbers about its original battery life, but I was blown away by it, likely averaging at or in excess of the advertised 7-hours. I'm a geek and spent my childhood with eyes never further than a couple of inches from my CRT (and have the vision to prove it), but I really have no f'ing clue what would be causing this. I never doubted that the battery life decreased (and dramatically so), but now that I've started booting up into Windows regularly, any trace of doubt has vanished. Using Windows 8 set on Maximum Performance (and, as I'm sure most of you are aware, Windows only uses the discrete GPU, even when doing nothing graphically-intensive), the battery life is still significantly better than using ML. I've searched and searched and searched and can't find a single reference to this issue online. I'd appreciate any help you can offer. Just in case it's of any assistance, I'll put some might-be-relevant-maybe info below, including things I've thought of that could be the source/contributing to the problem (again, I really have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to true geek know-how):
    - It's a rMBP 15" w/16GB RAM
    - When I formatted the HD, I wiped out everything. Yes, obviously there was enough on there for the laptop to launch into Internet Recovery, but I'm thinking that was all that was left. When I've been trying to think of why there's nobody online with this issue, something that's popped into my head is that anyone who knows what Disk Utility does is probably savvy enough (when not sleep-deprived) to not use it to format their HD, or at least to heed to the plenty of "Don't click yes, tardums" warnings that I'm sure popped up as I zoomed by them. And I can't think of many other ways for grandma-level Mac users to wipe their HD, so the lack of online info would make sense.
    - This was a couple months back, and I can't remember precisely the OS version when all this went down. I'm certain it was ML since I think my rMBP shipped with 10.8.0 (if not 10.8.1, if any did), but it could have been anything between 10.8.0 and 10.8.2. I'm pretty sure it wasn't 10.8.0 since I remember updating to 10.8.1 very soon after purchasing the laptop over the summer, but again, not certain.
    Alright, that's it. I'm sure this post doesn't meet forum standards for plethora of reasons, but I'm a poor little private liberal arts university student who is desolate now that his $3,000 laptop isn't getting top-notch battery life, so mods, please dig deep in your hearts and don't delete. Thanks, yous da best.

    There were a number of posts from folks with various models about a downgrade in battery life after an upgrade to Mountain Lion - so you aren't alone. However, since you're still under warranty, I would take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the problem. Could be that your battery just isn't up to par (and I'm assuming that you've all updates installed?)...
    Good luck,

  • IMessage won't work/isn't up-to-date on iPhone 6 after restore from back-up

    So I have been trying to set up my new iPhone 6 since Tuesday and I am at my wit's end. I have been an Apple user for years and am usually good at fixing issues myself.
    BACKGROUND: With my iPhone 5, I was having an issue with bookmarks not syncing "Bookmarks could not by synced because the iPhone cancelled the sync" starting shortly after I updated to iOS 7.  I had incorrectly assumed the issue would be corrected with a subsequent update, but that never happened.
    iPhone 6:
    When I first set it up, I did from the last back-up from my iPhone 5, however it somehow did not complete.  I initially thought I'd lost my 2700 pictures that were on the 5 as only 500 showed in the 'Recently Added', however iPhoto (on MacBook Pro) detected all 2700 on the phone even though they weren't showing, so I successfully imported them from the 6.  When I went to sync the 6, it gave me the same bookmark error.  I tried turning off hard sync and syncing through iCloud but nothing happened (I have never synced from iCloud as when I first tried to set it up after it was created, it created duplicates of ALL of my information and I just never had the time to mess with it.  I figure if the hard back-up works, that's all I need.
    That being said, I did NOT intend on having a brand new phone with the same error, so I did a FULL RESTORE and set it up as a NEW IPHONE.  Everything worked seemlessly including my iMessage, however it did not have any of my old messages or recent calls which I thought was strange if that information is associated to my Mac/iTunes account.  I thought the Game Center would have saved most of my info from my games, but when I saw I didn't have any of my info from my Lists app, games, and other settings and passwords, I decided I would try a different way.
    So I removed unnecessary apps with no info, photos, and music from my 5, synced and backed it up, updated to iOS 8, backed THAT up, and then did a RESTORE FROM BACK-UP on the new iPhone 6 from that latest back-up.  Despite that, I have discovered that the messages and recent call list that DO appear on the phone only go through MARCH of this year... I am so confused as to how the most recent back-up would have only backed up info from March... My games data is up-to-date.
    I THOUGHT everything was working with the exception of STILL having the same BOOKMARK SYNC ERROR, but I just discovered that my testing/iMessage does not work at all.  I go to send a message, and it just shows the blue bar loaded 3/4 of the way, and never delivers the message.  My boyfriend confirmed that he cannot send me messages either, which makes no sense because the phone was set up under the same phone number and emails as my iPhone 5 was.  I really don't have the time and/or patience to go into Apple, but after spending ALL day yesterday trying to re-set up the phone thinking everything worked, I am quite exasperated.  I have been using Apple products all my life, and I have NEVER had this much trouble.
    I never had any significant software issues until iOS 7, and the fact that they are still ongoing is quite ridiculous.  It's getting harder and harder to defend Apple and their quality products if they don't kick it into high gear and fix these glitches! 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
    P.S. I did some reading on how iBackUpBot is supposed to fix the bookmark syncing issue, but it seems a bit technical.  Perhaps clearer instructions would be helpful.

    Well, right now, Apple is getting loads of people who are trying to download the new update. My iPod is doing the same thing, so, just wait an hour or two and then try again. It may take a while to veryify the update, and even longer to actually download it. Some people at my school updated their OS in study hall, while others were having the same problem you were. It should be fixed soon, just relax...
