HT1414 anyone noticing a decline in battery life after downloading ios7????

anyone noticing a decline in battery life after downloading ios7?

I have an iphone 5. Ios 7 is a disaster for battery life! It used to drain about 1% every two hours, 5% over night roughly (not being used). Now it is draining at double the rate. It drained 10% over night and it isn't even doing a thing. I think something is clocking up usage when it's idle.
Screen brightness is minimal.
Background app updating is restricted to one app which isn't running the majority of the time.
Dynamic wall paper and other stupid stuff is all turned off.
I can't turn off the stupid clock animation. I wonder if working out how that is displayed is the issue???
It shouldn't be draining at 1% per hour when not even being used.
Favourite locations is still switched on.
Is there any benefit in turning off wifi and using 3g data only? I had the issue before that having 3g enabled meant double the battery drain so I only used it when I was out.
Ipad mini seems fine though. Battery life is same as last ios6 ie about 14-16 hours use.
I now have caret running to find out what the rogue thing is. The majority of the time few apps are running at all.
My general average usage is 12-15% per day if lightly used and 25-45% if it is moderately used. Now the phone is draining at 25-33% a day when lightly used!
Beats me why an ipad mini which is advertised at up to 10 hours on wifi nearly doubles that and the iphone which is advertised at the same rarely reaches it. I usually get 8 hours of active use if I'm lucky. Now it's more like 5-6 which is hopeless.

  • Hot battery and short battery life after download of Mountain Lion.

    Hot battery and short battery life after download of Mountain Lion.  Any suggestions?

    As in, shortly after install?
    Note after you install Mountain Lion it's likely that the Spotlight index will be rebuilt.  This will take some time and the machine will run hot.  After this completes, which could take 1-2 hours, things should return more to normal.
    If they don't, I suggest running Activity Monitor and seeing if you can trace what is eating up CPU cycles.

  • Has anyone noticed a decrease in battery performance?

    Has anyone noticed a decrease in battery performance?  Is this covered under the Apple Care Warranty?

    Hi Dominick,
    The charge capacity is definitely inline with manufacturer's specifications. I will say that the charge cycle is a little high, though.
    129 cycles / 8 months = 16 cycles (per month)
    That's about one every other day. It sounds like you use the machine frequently for short periods of time. Is this machine at home or in an office? Or are you mobile with it to where you don't have access to A/C power or can't be "tied down" to a specific location for any period of time?
    There's no reason to run the machine off of battery power if it's sitting on your desk. Matter of fact, I probably use my "portable" at my desk more than I use it was a portable. You could be racking up unnecessary cycles otherwise. On one of my machines it's plugged into power 98% of the time, I'll run it down and give it a full recharge once a month per Apple's recommendations.
    As AussieDJ recommended, check Activity Monitor to see if anything is consuming unnecessary amounts of CPU usage.
    If this is an 11" MBA, approximately 4 hours of run time is well within reason (based on usage), but that's a little low if this is a 13" MBA. Again usage is important here, web browsers and flash-heavy content consume a surprisingly large amount of battery.
    I'd also be curious to see a consecutive usage test versus these 10-30 minute usage intervals throughout the day. Give the machine a full charge, use it as your normal would for a 2-3 hours and see how that goes.

  • I Have been getting BAD battery life after the ICS UPDATE !! on the DROID RAZAR MAXX have this happen to any one else ??????

    i have been getting really bad battery life after install ICS on my droid razar maxx i can only go 1 day and 3 hours where i used to be able to go 2 day easy have this happen to anyone else can someone tell me how i can make my battery life better??????/ and do i need to let my phone go complete dead before fully chargeing it again ??????
    before install the ICS update i had 30 percent of battery life remaining so i pluged it in and let charged for a little bit while it updated my phone and ever thing after it updated i unplug my phone and started playing on my phone to see what ICS was all about but when it got to 15 and said " connect to your changer so i did !!!!! should i haved let my phone going complete dead since i unplug without it fully changer or does it matter ?????????????? if someone could please help me !!!!:)

    What was your battery reading right after the update when you unplugged the phone? I have never let my Maxx drain further than 20% battery ever before I charge it. Yesterday after the update I also played more with the phone trying to learn the OS, as did most everyone on this forum. Give it a few days of your normal use before you decide your battery life has decreased. I took my phone off charger today at noon, it was 100%, and now it's 80%, with about 30 min talk time, and mostly standby. that's about normal batt life for me, maybe a little better than before the update. I'm still going to watch it for a few days before I make a conclusion about battery life.

  • Poor battery life after last update

    Hello! I got my Z3 in March and when I got it I loved its long battery life. I'm a very heavy user of my phone and managed to get 8 hours of screen on time out of it in between charges. I'm not sure if it has been gradual or sudden but I've noticed that lately, the battery life on my phone only lasts for about 3 hours of screen on time. I use my phone for the same things as I did when I first got it.
    When I got my phone it was preinstalled with 4.4.4, I got the 5.0.2 update in mid-april and I got the 5.1.1 update a few days ago.
    Here's some screenshots of my battery usage. http://m.imgur.com/JWe4Bt4,ybDx4wq
    Also, I have quite a good knowledge of how android works and what can drain battery etc.
    When I got 8 hours of screen on time when I first got it I was running google now and google fit (step tracker) and I stopped using those when my battery life started getting worse.
    Please help! Thanks.

    Hi @Redindian
    You can try boot your device on safe mode like this to see if the issue persists:
    http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/How-to-boot-your-phone-into-safe-mode/m-p/348008#U348008  Check this link too: http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz3/faq/My-battery-runs-flat-too-fast/
    Also I suggest you to first run a backup of the device information like this:
    http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/Backup-amp-Transfer/m-p/407253#U407253
    Then try performing a system repair using PC Companion:
    http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
    This will factory reset your phone and erase all data. You might need tocharge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery. Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device). Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process. If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP.
    I hope can be useful and I'm at disposal for any question.
    Best Regards,

  • MBP 13" Aug09, lost 2 hours battery life after upgrading to SL

    Hi, my Macbook Pro bought on Aug 09 lost 2 hours of battery life after an upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
    I brought it to the Apple service center where they checked the battery and they said that the battery has no problem.
    Then, they suggest me to format my mac and reinstall Snow Leopard on a clean disk which i did without any success.
    So now, my battery still hold 100% of it's original capacity (over 5450mAh) but my battery died before 3 hours with 0 program running !? (it used to last over 5.5 hours while running Leopard)
    What's the matter with my battery.
    And of course, i tried all the calibration before i post this topic.
    If anyone can help now, it would be so great ! can't expect anything from Apple as they consider my battery as new.
    Thanks !

    I too have been experiencing worse battery life.
    I used to have about 3.5 hours on my now one year old Unibody MBP.
    After SL (and switch from original 5400rpm to seagate momentus 7200rpm) I'm now down at about 2 hours.
    Wifi enabled
    Bluetooth enabled
    Brightness around 80%
    2 hours is very little compared to the promised 5 hours.
    My battery stats:
    Health: 94%
    Cycles: 112
    Full charge: 4344mAh
    Feels like I'm on an old lousy PC laptop again.

  • Wireless driver triggers warm/hot macbook and low battery life after OS 10.8 mountain lion upgrade

    Hello frustrated Macbook users.
    I have tried to get help on other Apple discussions but no one seems to want to help, they aren't actually reading my posts, or they hate me for some reason. 
    No matter.
    If you have a warm Macbook that has 2.5 hours of battery life where you used to have 4 or more, please do this simple procedure and write the result below.
    Turn OFF Airport wireless networking
    Perform an SMC reset (Power Manager)
    Connect an ethernet cable and use your Macbook normally. (but do NOT turn on wireless networking again)
    How is your battery life after doing this?
    I have a user over here who reclaimed decent battery performance if he doesn't use his Airport wireless.
    I need confirmation.
    If so, I may get a USB wireless adapter and see if the battery life stays good.
    Bonus points:  If you have a Mac compatible USB wireless adapter and got good results by turning off the built-in adapter, want to test it for me and report the results?
    Thanks and good luck!

    UPDATE:
    Problem persists when using Recovery Partition.
    Chance sthat it is third party softwae or updates is more or less eliminated.
    Update 10.8.3 beta fixed the problem for one lucky early adopter.
    Hypothesis: New battery charging algorithms programmed into Mountain Lion OS10.8 triggered problems from design flaws that were NOT an issue for OS 10.7 and before.
    Battery replacements were successful where the replacement battery was built within tolerances that did not fail under 10.8's new charging algorithms. Other bateries did not meet those tolerances so you would get spotty results from battery replacements.  It worked sometimes, but not always.
    OS 10.8.3 may have adjusted these algorithms to be less demanding on the features of the battery that were failing.
    Official word from Apple is 'mum'.

    What is going on the my battery life, after installing Mavericks, what a drain!!!

    You can try resetting the SMC and NVRAM.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    You can also try running the short and/or extended Apple hardware test by holding D button while booting up and then following the instructions.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    If that doesn't work (seems not extremely likely that it will) you can backup and try reinstalling a fresh OS.
    If that still doesn't work maybe the battery is bad.  If you don't feel like messing with all that just take it to Apple.  They should have a test they can perform.

  • Is it normal for iPhone 4S to lose 1% battery life after 2-3 minutes of using?

    Is it normal for iPhone 4S to lose 1% battery life after 2-3 minutes of using? So in 2 hours, 24 minutes usage and 15 hours, 17 minutes  in standby mode, the battery became 68%...

    sounds plausable
    also you can't really 100% trust it's batt% batteries are an analog technology the only thing the iphone can judge how much batt is left is by measuing amp amount the batt is producing and then over time estimating how long before it's zore
    but anyway Its not wise to not put a battery for charge before bed when it's 12%
    if your reason is you think it's good for batteries to be empty before charging then you believe in a myth and in the process damaging the battery in your ios device

  • Battery drain after installing IOS7 on Iphone 4

    Hi
    I have recently installed IOS7 on my IPhone 4.
    The battery drains really quickly even when I am not doing anything with the phone. I never had these problem before updating.
    Suggestions please???
    Thanks

    I have also noticed what appears to be decreased battery life after the upgrade, though not this bad.  Seems many people are noticing problems. 
    I noticed and changed a couple of settings that seem to have helped.
    - first, fully shut off the phone and then turn it back on - i read online this helped some, immediately after the update.
    - in mail settings, for the icloud account (I dont use this but it was configured by default) check the sync settings . it defaults to push, which takes more power.  you might want to disable push and set to fetch for this and any other accounts you have, for additional power savings
    - in settings, location services, scroll to the bottom and tap system services : All of them are defaulted to on.  I turned off location-based iads and setting time zone since i dont need those. (I also opted out of the diagnostics and usage as part of the setup, but it was set to on in this screen - i left it on for the time)
    - also in settings -- location settings:  check the list of apps and verify that only the ones you want, are enabled
    These few settings seem to have improved things

  • HT4623 i no longer have video capability on my ipad mini after downloading ios7. has anyone else had this problem?

    i no longer have video capability on my ipad mini after downloading ios7. has anyone else had this problem?

    Describe the problem. Won't show videos? Won't take videos? Or other?
    Try this  - 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.)

    Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.
