Battery Life EVEN WORSE After 5.1 Update

I didn't think it was possible, but my battery life is even worse after upgrading to ios 5.1
I'm thinking it's a hardware issue, but it's an unlocked phone purchased in the US, and I'm now in Israel, so I don't know if Orange or any local carrier will exchange it with me unfortunately.
Suggestions?
I'm going to call Apple but I also doubt they will fedex me a new one. They need to hurry up and build their Haifa store here already...

Tentatively seems to have worked.. I was trying to avoid it but I did it and I think it worked. Thanks!

My battery life decreased dramatically after updating to ios 6.1.2. How do I delete and go back to previous iso?

I have iphone 5; my battery life decreased dramatically after updating to ios 6.1.2. How do I delete and go back to previous iso?

Downgrading the iOS isn't supported and wouldn't help even if you could. There have been reports of decreased battery life after every update since iOS 1.0.1.
There are lots of things that can be done including reinstalling push email accounts. basic phone reset (pressing both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears), and restoring the phone with and without a backup.

Terrible iOS 8! It is even worse after the 8.0.2 update.

iOS 8 runs terribly on iPhone 4S.
And it is even worse after I updated it to 8.0.2.
The icon of Calendar App is fail to display.
Calculator App is completely crashed.
UI of phone is totally gone. Once I make a call, the screen shows black, and it makes me cannot hang up the phone!
Apps keep crashing randomly.
Disappointing! iPhone 4 created the world of iPhone. Now iOS 8 and iPhone 6 are destroying everything!

My 1Password program no longer is syncing after the update and I cannot read rft files in DropBox created with Text Edit.

Battery Life getting Worse

After the upgradtion on iOS 6.1 in my iPhone 4s Wi-Fi greyed out and now my battery life getting worse. Earlier it was 2 days minimum in Standby and now its even can't stay for 7 hours, which is really horriable. Someone battery doesn't stands for a day even less than a day how come he survive
Its really disgusting service and apps whatsoever Apple is doing for their valuable customer.Apple is just to stay here ...not here to compete with other smartphone...if it will contiune within very short time Apple will be out from the market
Now it seems that i should opt out from iPhone and go for other smart Phone.

Adjusting the brightness, turning off notifications from few apps and balancing the volume could help your iPhone battery last longer.

Battery life is WORSE!

OK, I thought I would give it a couple of days to make sure but I have to say that the battery life is worse than my old 3g.
I do nothing differnt on the new one and yet it drains faster!
Hope this is a bug that can be fixed in an firmware update!
Apart from that, I'm happy with update so far.

Apple's spec says it's better. I think mine is better. But i wouldn't be surprised if it is worse given the 600mhz processor and 256mb ram, the pure processing power would drain the battery faster.

My new iPhone 4S loses battery life even when switched off?

Purchased a new iPhone just last week.
I drained the battery completely and then full cycle charged it. Disabled Siri, location, apps, notifications etc.
So far I have been very conservative with my iPhone making phone calls and texts only.
Just started to notice these past 3 days that i lose 2-3% of battery life even when my iPhone is switched off..
How is this even possible?
Any help or advice on how i can solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Iphone 4 battery-life so bad after upgrade it (ios5)

iphone 4 battery-life so bad after upgrade it (ios5)

gone through this for starters

Is it just me, or is anyone else experiencing shorter battery life for their iphon4 since the update to ios5?

Is it just me, or is anyone else experiencing shorter battery life for their iphon4 since the update to ios5?

Yes, I just switched from the 3GS to the 4S and My battery life is a lot shorter! wasn't sure if it is because it was trying to reload all my music or not

97% Battery Life (Even When Plugged In), Have Had MacBook for 2 Days

I've been experiencing a problem with my MacBook Core 2 Duo's battery life, and I have only owned if for 2 days. When I have it plugged it to the power adapter, it will charge only up to 97% instead of 100% (even if I turn it off and leave it for a few hours). Then when I turn it on and disconnect it from the power adapter, the 97% drops to 95% within a minute or two.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to fix this problem, or advice on whether or not it is an issue that needs to be fixed?
MacBook Core 2 Duo (2.0GHz, 1GB RAM) Mac OS X (10.4.8) Basically brand new.

that happen to me. i don´t know if you keep always plug in AC power to you MB?, but I do and my Batt never reach 100%. Please check http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm and you will find information about it. In brief, you MUST keep your batt charge between 20 and 80% to extend you battery life even amazing 500 cycles!!!, avoiding extreme charge and discharges (never 0%, never 100%) but also soft events.

Battery life greatly decreased after ios 5.0.1 update on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S

Really disappointing considering my iPad 2 battery life used to be great, lasting up to a week with no recharge necessary. Now my iPad battery life drops 1% every few minutes of casual use.
My iPhone 4S battery life under ios 5.0 used to be decent and could hold the charge well when idle only losing 1% every few hours as long as it was just sleeping. Now I am losing 10 - 15% every few hours when it is just sleeping. When I surf the net, I lose 1% each minute! This is with pretty much every battery wasting feature turned off except Siri.
I'm not sure how Apple managed to exacerbate a problem affecting tens of millions of people around the world with a fix that they've had weeks to test. I mean they could've just emailed me and asked me to test it before they released it to the public, I could've told you within a few minutes that it didn't work.
Apple consistenly have problems with each new iPhone release. They just can't seem to get it 100% right. The camera, antenna and speed have vastly improved over the iPhone 4, but arguably the most important feature has taken a nose dive in quality. I can't believe they marketed this phone as having IMPROVED battery life? I don't think one person will agree that that is an accurate statement.

Do you have wifi syncing turned on? Is your itunes always open?
There is a glitch with the iPad where, as long and anytime iTunes is open, it'll sync...like once an hour or some such rate.
Originally the wifi syncing was only supposed to take place if the device is plugged into power, but that's not the case. If I have my iTunes open my iPad will try to sync almost continuously.
So check your wifi sync and iTunes settings (my iTunes used to be set to open automatically when the device is connected, I had to change it to only open when I do it manually because in the course of an evening's surfing my iPad opened my iTunes and started to sync three different times until I turned it off)
If you have iCloud syncing enabled that may also be contributing to your battery issues. I don't sync over iCloud, I tried it but after it ate all my contacts, I stopped using it. However, if the same glitch is present, the device trying to continually sync even when not plugged into power, that could also be part of your drain.

Finally got update to work, and battery usage even worse?

I had to do the restore last night to get the iPhone to work as before. I started out at 100% this morning. I've hardly used it at all, and 2 hours later it's down to 85%? That's worse than before the update. All I did so far this morning was update my LoseIt log, send 1 text message, and read a few email.

Every time Apple has released an update there are people who want to go back to a previous release or expect an update to fix the problem they see. But the real problem in almost all cases is not the release itself, but a problem with an individual's phone. I installed 3.1.3, and for the first two days my battery life has been measurably better. Also, based on the very few problem reports in the forums 3.1.3 has been very stable for an overwhelming number of users.
If you are having a problem first try some basic troubleshooting; it's your phone, not the release that is the problem. Reboot the phone, run the battery down all the way then fully recharge. And if neither of those fix it do a restore as a new phone, because the problem is most likely in an installed app or corrupted metadata.

My iphone 4 did the iOS 5 update yesterday and I feel like my battery life is worse. I've only had the phone a week and I havent plugged it into itunes on my laptop at all or anything yet. Anything suggestions?

I did use a lot of apps today and such but I've only been using it for 12 hours and it's at 20%. Never had that happen. How can I fix this? Thanks

I got the same problem to. In 3mins I lost 8% of battery life I just used my phone for like a min. Had my phone for a month now and it started when I updated to ios5 and gone worse when updating to ios5.0.1.

N91 freezing even worse after update..

just got my n91, it was reseting on it's own, and i updated version to 2.00.052, and now it's even worse, takes almost 3-4 minutes when sending a txt msg or pulling up gallery etc.. please help

Hey.. It seems like your phone was not properly upgraded. Here follow these steps:
1. Back up all your data.
2. Format your HDD
3. Now update your phone again using the latest updater (V1.1.30)
4. Now before you put back your data install the sms accelerator from http://www.europe.nokia.com/A4158100
5. Now put back all your data.
It should work fine now.
MAYBE U WANNA TRY INSTALLING THE SMS ACCELERATOR FIRST AND SEE IF IT SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM.

Battery life for iPhone4 after ios5 update

I updated my iPhone 4 to ios5 this week and the change in battery life is shocking. I've used my phone for an hour and 13 minutes straight since taking it off charge and it's burnt through 32% of my battery.
This week I've been reading all the tips to improve my battery but nothing has helped so far. I'm fed up, my phone is only 10 months old and the ios5 update is obviously a poor quality release (I'm a software project manager).
What can I do? Are Apple looking into this issue? Has the cause been identified or is there a massive software vs hardware conflict with this release.
While typing this I e lost another 3% in 7 minutes.
Any hope appreciated.
Thanks

I totallly agree. Am iPhone 4 user and have been since its launch. Have had all previous versions and every iOS so pretty familiar with what constitues normal battery life on these things. I have a daily routine that sees an almost identical amount of email use, some wifi, some 3g, some location services every day. Since updrading to iOS5 last week I haven't been able to get through the day without flattening the battery. Have resorted to turning off everything I can think of - location services, bluetooth, wifi etc. Under my old regime these were always on. The phone is still not getting through the day. Based on hours usage I would estimate that the battery life has dropped by about 30%. Thats being generous. Looking at whats going on I suspect this is a sloppy release of iOS5 and I'll bet there'll be a quick update. One thing I would be interested to know is if you are syncing to Exchange because I have a sneaking suspicion this is wasting loads of cycles as I seem to now be seeing loads of minor changes to my calendar notifications that didn't used to hapen under the old iOS. Trouble is, if I turn that off I might as well go back to a pager!
All ideas gratefully received.

2nd replacement iPhone 4S and battery is even worse!!!

So this is the second replacement iPhone 4S I received from an apple genius.
The battery life is even worse on this one. Down 1% every 2-5 minutes?! Fully charged at 109% and during usage, it went down to 90% in 45 minutes. All of the settings that have been recommended to turn off are off and still nothing.
Here's a list of all the settings that are off
Ping
All the location advanced settings like setting time zone
Automatic time change
3G/data
Most notifications
Etc etc
Even after doing a DFU mode restore without any back up and no syncing any apps, music, etc, still the same
You know how annoying it is to be using your phone and you constantly see your battery percentage going down every 2 minutes?!
The genius that "helped" me yesterday was useless and rude.
Honestly, if it's a software problems, then why is it only iPhone 4s out of everybody in my family? That's 4 other people with the iPhone 4S and 2 people with the iPhone 4, all on 5.0.1 yet I'm the only one with the battery issues?
Yes it is weird that both replacement iPhones that I received has horrible battery life but I don't get how I'm the only one in the family that has this problem.
I'm so annoyed and i hate the "genius" that helped me yesterday.

sounds like it could be a software issue
i understand from all your saying regarding everything is off,brightness is down,vibrate is off,3g is off,location off,no emails set up,time change,wi-fi,,etc etc
ok ,how long did you charge up your iphone for initally for ?
let the battery die ,leave it for a few hours ,(use another mobile if you need a mobile)
recharge the iphone,when you get sum power,unplug ,check for updates,do a reset,then reconnect to charge it,when fully charged,keep all your settings off.use as per usual .
see how your battery copes then,
again do same thing with letting battery die out before recharging.
if problem continues then i would take it back to the store
good luck
