How to fix iOS 5.0.1 battery issues - answer

Since I upgraded to ios 5.0.1 my battery was shocking. I lost 20% overnight and about 1% every 5 mins when using the phone. This morning I turned off location based iADs and my battery has been great. I went out for 1.5 hours earlier on my bike and even took a couple of photos and my battery stayed at 66%.
I don't know if this is a true fix but it worked for me.

Thanks for the link
Ok, last question: I know how to restore my phone without a back up. If I do this will I lose my installed apps and music? I have all of my mp3's so worst case scenario I can put those back in my itunes. What about the apps that I have purchased? Thanks for your help!

How to fix iPhone 5's crapy battery drain problem

How to fix iPhone 5's crapy battery drain problem

It's not that bad bro. Just turn LTE off when not needed. Turn notifications, push, spotlight search, wifi, etc off if you don't feel the need of them. The big drain is from LTE so I guess if you turn it off the battery wont drain that fast.

Something wrong with my phone?

My recommendation having tried all the obvious is send the iPhone 5 back to Apple - Wait for Apple to fix the problems and then buy a new iPhone 5.
I have been buying apple products for over 25 years, I never experienced such a fundamental problem.
Battery drain: 100% to 40% in 4 hours - 100% to 10% 12 hours overnight on standby - with wi-fi off (installed with the same Apps as the 4s with lasted 3-4 days in general use.)
Apple support are either very helpful, or totally dismissive... this morning I was offered "12 hours use is acceptable" as a final word from Apple Support.
The phone is on its way back to Apple, and I'm happily back on my 4s
This is the first and last time I break my purchasing rule when buying from Apple, 'never buy the first version of any Apple product - wait for them to get it right.

How to fix monitors display horizontal line occuring issue?

Dear friends,
Am having HP W19 Monitor ,In this am facing Display line (horizontal ) occuring problem...how to fix it?..
Can anybody help me please...

Hello Nilav_Technical,
That could either be the monitor or the PC, perhaps the cable.
Try another monitor to see if the problem is the same, if it is then the cable or the PC's graphics card are the problem.
If the other monitor is OK then you will need to replace the monitor.
You might also want to change the refresh rate in advanced settings under screen resolution and see if that helps.
Let me how it goes.

IOS 5.1.1 Battery issues Fixed?

Title, in iOS 5.1 there were still battery bugs, are they fixed in 5.1.1? Or are they worse?

For me, going to 5.1.1 made my battery worse. When I had 5.1, I could use my phone (iPhone 4) heavily during the day (voice, text, safari, apps, etc) and finish the day with 50-60% battery. I updated to 5.1.1 yesterday and can watch the drain happen.
For instance, this morning I took my phone off the charger (100%). After an hour off the charger with very light safari usage (over wifi) and a text conversation, my battery had depleted to 92%. It has been off the charger for 2.5hrs and I am currently at 80%. So I'm losing battery at a rate of roughly 10% per hour. I'm planning to restore back to 5.1 when I get home this evening, I'll never survive a workday at this pace. I haven't used voice yet, which I did yesterday. I lost 10% battery during a 10-15 min conversation.
So, mathematically, if the drain continues and I use voice for a 20 min conversation, my battery will be completely dead in an 8 hr day. Makes doing business hard. So, if apple doesn't solve the mysterious ghost drain by the time my upgrade comes around, I'm going Android. I've had enough of this. My iPad works great, but the iPhone hemorrhages battery life ever since iOS 5. 5.1 slowed it down some, but 5.1.1 opened the floodgates again in my case.

How to fix iOS 8.3 text message app issue?

I cannot delete old text messages ever since I updated to the new iOS 8.3. Whenever I try to delete them my screen freezes and deletes everything. I have to do a hard restart and it brings everything back that was there before the update. If I go back into my messages it comes up as if i had none and I can't send or receive any so I am forced to restart the phone. Is there a solution to this?

IOS 8.1 massive battery issue

Since I've been updating my 5s with latest 8.1, my 5s now facing a battery drainage problem!! Massive! I've been charged full 100% battery and with only 1 hour while playing slight wechat only, it draining like **** until 70%.. And heating like oven!! This never happen before! Even before i've been playing with heavy use of wechat, beetalk, games and video, it still remain 84%.. Now it's draining like water leaking.... iOS 7 is always better 1001% compare to iOS 8.. There is always a new problems!! U guys solved 10 problems/bugs, but again u guys will create 2 to 3 new problems!! What's wrong with Apple nowaday?! Think about to moving on to Samsung!

I'm also seeing something like this. I believe I may have isolated one issue that Apple have verbally acknowledged: Re: Did iOS8.1 fixed the battery draining and heating problem with iPhone 5s?
However i wonder if it's more general. Just a few hours browsing on my phone with very little running in the background uses a lot of battery. I go to use settings and it tells me that Safari has used 45% of th battery in a few hours. This never happened on ios7.
After each release of iOS there is usually a load of people moaning about battery life who don't understand the options of how their phone works but it does feel like there is a genuine issue here. A lot of the noise seems to be coming from iPhone5S owners, I wonder if the more General wifi issues are causing problems elsewhere......
i Don't suspect it will be that long before we see a patch.

IPhone 4S iOS 5.1.1 battery issue

Hi, i have an iPhone 4S 16GB iOS 5.1.1 and have terrible battery life.
I fully charged my phone to 100% this morning and it has drained 70% in just 7 hours under very minimal usage [wifi OFF - cellular data OFF - bluetooth OFF - photo stream OFF - location services OFF] also i have only 15 downloaded apps and about 400 songs after a major cleanup.
I also factory restored my device the day before and had done multiple hard resets, so please don't give me advice about that. I am wondering if there is any fix because atm i am certainly leaving apple if there is no fix

Who are you talking to? Did you do a forum search? (Start with the "More Like This list on the right side of this screen.)

IOS 7.0.4 battery issue on my 4s

I normally don't post,
I can't help but voice my frustration.
My wife and I have the same type iphone, 4s
I always update before she does.
Recently updated my iphone 4s to iOS 7.0.4 around Nov. 22,
Since my update I've had a problem getting through the day (under minimal use) after a full charge overnight.
It may be coincidence but I doubt it, since my wife's phone is working just fine the same as always (even with iOS 7.0.3).
Reading all the problems others have had that are similar to mine, i think this is a sign that apple has lost its way.
I have read (and attempted) various methods to save battery via adjusting settings and resets, but seriously?
My iphone should not become a paper weight just because I update the os!
I will have a hard time convincing myself to buy any more apple products in the future.
-I miss Steve Jobs

I did a complete reset, but then I restored from last back up file.
Even after I did all that there was no significant difference.
At this point I figured it was not the OS causing my severe battery drain.
Then I decided to wipe out all of my apps, and start with only the default apps.
After I did this I noticed a significant increase battery life.
I realized that one of the apps that I was running must have been the culprit.
(Unfortunately I don’t know which one it was…)
Now, I can go a solid two days (mostly on standby, close to what I was used to) without having to charge my phone.
I wish I knew exactly which app was causing my issue but since I wiped out so many, I can't say specifically which one was the culprit.
I have also been more cautious when adding new apps, careful to watch and see as I add them, if they adversely affect my battery life.
Hope that helps
