Battery life is pathetic after installing iOS 5
The battery life for my iPod Touch 3rd gen. has been incredibly bad ever since I installed iOS 5, when it was first released a few months ago. The 5.0.1 update didn't help, either. I used to be able to comfortably charge my iPod "just" once a day, but now it's often more than two full charges that are required per day. My usage patterns, of course, have not changed over the past few months compared to when I first got the iPod Touch.
Is there anything I can do to improve battery life, or check its capacity, since I've had it for a while and perhaps its capacity has gone down?
Also, the device's performance has gotten much slower since installing iOS 5, too. I heard that the Notification Center is a primary cause for those problems, so I disabled most things in it, except for Mail and Weather since those are important to me.
I haven't done any scientific testing, but I'd say that I can get maybe two to four hours if I'm just browsing the web, when it used to be perhaps upwards of six to eight hours a day. I do indeed do some gaming, but most of my time is spent on todo items and web browsing. I have definitely not changed how I use the device since I first bought it, which was about two or three years ago, so if there is a noticeable difference then I will perceive it. Also, nearly every day I use the device from a full charge (charged overnight) to automatic shutoff (0% battery), because it hits the "red zone" for the battery quite quickly (about an hour of usage) then the remaining time is spent in the red zone.
For some reason, the battery also leaks quite significantly when I'm not even using it, which from what I understand is also a fairly common occurrence with iOS 5, as well. I think that this is actually where most of the battery life goes to, rather than from me actually using the device.

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

why am i experiencing short battey life with my IPad after installing ios 7 1 ?
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

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. -
Why after installing iOS 7 my iPad started to reboot by itself, my battery lost autonomy and the iPad got slowwwwwwer?
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

After installing iOS 6 update my ipod touch 5G doesn't work anymore
after installing iOS 6 update my ipod touch 5G doesn't work anymore. Can anybody help me? Please!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Battery Life on iPhone 5 with IOS 7.0.2
Hi all,
What's the average battery life on iPhone after the upgrade to IOS 7.0.2?
I tried to put my phone (with 100% full battery) on Airplane Mode before I went to bed (around 11pm).
When I checked my phone at 6.30am in the morning, it's only 1% battery left --> 7 hours on Airplane Mode???
The next night, I put my phone on standby mode (Wifi on, Location Services Off, Bluetooth Off, 3G/4G off) same time (11ish)
Next morning at 7am, 5% battery left --> 8 hours on standby with just Wifi On.
I found it a bit weird because before the IOS 7 upgrade, if I put my phone on Airplane Mode, it will last for more than a day.
Wondering if any of you guys has the same issue with the battery?
Thanks.I received an iPhone 5 for Christmas and had an iPhone 4.S previously which had no battery issues at all. The new phone is diabolical in terms of battery life. I have done all the things that people recommend on here to try and extend the battery life but to no avail. Just sitting overnight with nothing running in the background drains the battery considerably. What else can I do? I have AppleCare on this phone so the people there offer to replace the phone for me BUT the replacement phone does not arrive in a new box and the respresentative was very fuzzy about the fact he would/could not assure me I would receive a brand new phone in its' box. He just kept saying it will be a 'replacement phone' which is totally unacceptable as this phone is unlocked so we paid full price for it. The phone is not reliable - whilst out for a full day's ski-ing (I was not ski-ing, just hanging around!) and using the phone for very light Internet browsing and only a few short e-mails, the battery just drained away in front of my eyes so I had to turn it off completely as I have no car charger yet and certainly had not thought to take my electrical charger with me (we won't even talk about the stupidity of making the new charger not fit my other Apple products (three of them!).
I really am so disappointed and don't know what to do next. As BCCconvert asks, what can we do??? thanks for any help offered. -
My ipad 2 won't hold a charge after installing ios 7
I use the authentic Apple charger and my ipad 2 won't hold a charge after installing ios 7. What is the fix for this miserable wasteful upgrade that made all of our iPads unusable ! I Shut off location, turned off brightness, shut down and took off apps. WHAT NOW for my iPad ?
Batteries eventually fail, and it sounds like that's happened with your iPad. You'll need to take or send it Apple to get the battery replaced. See:

Volume buttons don't work after installing ios 7.0.4
I have an Iphone 4 (MC603B/A) and after installing IOS 7.0.4 the volume buttons and the mute switch don't work. Also, if I receive a call or a message I don't get any sound.
There is no sound either if I play a video. At the same time, the alarm does work and the voice in the GPS works also.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
ThanksI have exact the same problem as you! Soon I will go to an Apple Genius Bar. When I got the solution, I will tell you!

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
