HT4623 how can restore my IOS from 6.1 to previous version....I am loosing 15% battery each hour

Upgraded my iphone 4 to IOS 6.1 3 days ago, I am loosing 15% battery each hour. Will going back to previous version help, and how can restore my IOS from 6.1 to previous version without loosing contents on my iphone? I have taken all normal precautions such as closing apps, turning off blutooth, manually fetching email, not using browser.....nothing seems to work.

Those are not running apps.
This is pulling up the recently used apps bar. Most, if not all, of those apps are not running at all. This is just a list of the apps that you have used recently.
The very few apps that run in the backgound are managed by ios.

Can I move back from Nokia Belle to lower version ...

I installed Belle on my E6 and having a lot of trouble with it. Main issue is that wherever there is an option key at the center of row at bottom, Touch functionality is disabled at center. I am not able to activate the center key.
This means, I cannot even set an alarm, cannot add locations in World Clock menu, cannot search programs from main menu, etc...
Need immediate solution please...

Jimmy, it pains me to jump ship from Nokia. I don't take it lightly. I have been using Nokia phones for years. In fact right now I am using my 5 year old beat up old falling apart E71 while waiting for the S3 to arrive. The E71 is a way better phone that the E6. If the E6 had been built on S60 then we wouldn’t be having this discussion. I don’t care about album art flow and pretty icons and “Retina” screens, etc. I want a phone that is solid and works. Other than the camera (and it didn’t even have AF), the E6 was a huge disappointment across the board and Belle made it worse.
Android is not what I would call a great OS and I am not looking forward to the switch but the choices are limited: Android, WP8 and iOS. And I am not going to use an Apple product. I demo’ed a 920 and it just didn’t feel like a Nokia. It may have Nokia hardware but what made Nokia great was Symbian and I am not talking about Belle. The Lumia feels like a Microsoft product. It doesn't really matter if it says Nokia or HTC or Samsung on the package, it's still driven by WP8. Symbian is what made Nokia unique and fun. Stuff that I loved about the E71 is no longer found on any Nokia products.
I mean no disrespect, but the Nokia products and features that I loved are now gone, nowhere to be found.

I updated IOS 6 in my device, it is performing worse. Consuming too much battery in a very short time. How can I "downgrade IOS version?

Downgrading isn't supported and wouldn't help. You need to fix your phone.
1. Delete and reinstall all email accounts.
2, Restore the phone in iTunes, first using a backup and if needed as a new phone.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes. iTunes does not "see" the devise. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Downgrading ios from 8.0.2 to 6.1.3

Very recently I have upgraded my 4s device to IOS 8.02 . Need help to down grade it to either IOS 7.x.x or to my factory IOS 6.1.3.
Device response is very slow with this new IOS 8.0.2.

Sorry, you can't downgrade iOS 8. And you're supposed to speed up iOS 8 on your iPhone:
Clear junk files with safeeraser;
Remove unwanted photos, text messages as well as other files to free up storage;
Remove apps you don't use and update the apps you need to the latest version;
end multiple task on your iPhone.

How can I downgrade iOS 7.1.2 from iOS 8

The iOS 8 made my iPhone and iPad spend more energy, stuck, slower and apps abending. How can I downgrade the iOS to iOS 7.1.2? God bless who can help me!

I had the same request and called Apple Store where I live yesterday and asked if there was any way to make this downgrade happen. But unfortunately not...

Can we downgrade iPad from ios8 to ios7?

Last night I f disconnected my IPad from charger with 100% battery at 1:30 am, it was on airplane mode with wifi off & I closed all application. Even I disabled every background refresh app!! At 10:30am in the morning, the charge was at 89%. This has happened after upgrading my iOS 7 to ios8!!!!
Previously when my iPad was on ios7, even when some of my applications ware open, even after 9 hours my ipad's battery life was aroun 99% or 98% with airplane mode on & wifi off.
can we downgrade ios8 to ios7? iOS8 discharges battery at unknown areas/apps. I think it's some sort of publcity stunt by Apple to promote iPad air2 & make us discard old devices.

No.

How can I downgrade ios 8?

My phone ***** since installing ios 8! The apps crash all the time: You Tube, Safari, app Store. I only get E signal when turn it on. The family purchases plan isn't working.
The problems are so bad that it shouldn't even merit a 'beta' version.
How can I downgrade, back to ios 7?

Chris, I clearly said what issues I'm having with ios 8: the apps are crashing all the time; family purchases aren't working; I only get an E signal when I turn the phone on. It's not my job to perform quality control or troubleshooting for apple. When I purchase the most expensive phone on the market, it is reasonable to expect that I should receive a product free from bugs.
As far as my other comment, "worst ios yet," (which everyone says after every new release) I guess that means that apple's QC is a joke. Perhaps they should continue to sign previous ipsw's after releasing a new version, or they should be honest--a beta release should be called such.

Can I downgrade IOS 6.1.3 to 6.1.2? If i can how?

I'm looking to downgrade my softweare. I want to get some stuff I can't with IOS 6.1.3. All I want is a downgrade. I want to go from IOS 6.1.3 to 6.1.2 or 6.1 or 6.0. I have the Ipod touch 5. Please help!!

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

HT201442 for my ipod 5g i can not downgrade ios 7.0.4 to ios 6.1.3 it was saying that (a unknown error has occured {3194} ,,,,can you help me too downgarde//

i want downgrade ios 7.0.4 to ios 6.1.3 it wsa saying that [error-3194] can you help me too downgarde

Thar is correct. Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple. If you try you will get the 3194 error.

Downgrade iOS from 7

Greetings,
I replaced my aged 3GS which was running OS 6.1.3 to a new 4S unit which I got under a very good exchange offer a week ago. My 4S is I believe a November import and hence seems to have come with OS 7 pre-installed. I'm sad to say the User Interface is not at all to my liking, I've tried various 'motion tweaks' but I can't seem to appreciate this version of iOS.
Could someone advise me on how I may install the last & latest version of iOS 6 on my phone please. Would greatly appreciate any help : ))).
Thanks in Advance.

Yes. You can only Update to the Current Signed by Apple Version of iOS for your Device.
Anything else is Not Supported by Apple.
