HT201412 Battery drain - iPhone is draining power fast

My iphone 5 is losing power fast - battery is draining. Haven't experienced this before. I've followed some basic steps to try and conserve powers within the settings features, but still drains fast. Concerned the battery may need to be replaced. Anyone else have this option - have any recommendations or trouble-shooting?
thanks

Hi Folks,
iPhone & iPad2 battery drain issue SOLVED!!!!!
I had a serious battery drain problem on THREE devices using different iOS .... it was a simple fix and had certain characteristics that you may be able to relate to ......
Devices;     16GB iPhone 4 with IOS6
                  16GB iPhone 4S with iOS7.06
                  32G iPad2 with iOS7.04
On or about Feb. 28th all three devices started to drain the battery like crazy losing about 20%/hour on the iPhones and 10%/hour on the iPad2 .... After messing around with settings, browsing forums and looking at what was common between the three devices I concluded the problem was with a single Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail email account in the iOS native mail app .... I deleted the email account on all three devices (along with other unrelated Microsoft accounts on each device) and did a hard reboot (hold HOME and top LOCK button simultaniously for about 10 seconds until the apple logo appeared).
I then re-created the common Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail account on all three devices in the iOS native mail app ...... SUCCESS! Now all three devices are behaving normaly with respect to battery drain ......
Hopefully this will be useful to others in this thread ..........

  • Iphone 4s battery draining extremly fast

    iphone 4s battery draining extremly fast, how annoying is that, Battery will be drain out within 12 hrs and I just usually watch 30 mins video (not using 3G/wifi) and 10mins on Phone .
    I always turn off my Siri, Auto Detect Time Zone, 50% Brightness, NO background Apps are running and Mail is manually updated.
    Does anyone facing the same problem?

    Go to advanced and set icloud to manual I used to suffer from this because of icloud it was stuck in a loop and always draining the battery, try also resetting your network settings if it didn't work reset all settings and set it as a new phone drain the battery and charge it from 0 to 100% to recalibrate the battery , hope this works for you

  • My iphone 3gs battery drains very fast

    my iphone 3gs battery drains very fast it won't last for whole day
    i just uses mail application and  facebook for some time
    can u tell why the problem is or need to change battery

    I'm having the same problem with my 3Gs.  In my case it is not the apps int he background or the brightness, or wifi or email push.  The folks at the apple stroe tell me that there is some software glitch that shows up every few months.
    I can only get rid of it by restoring my phone as a new device.  In which case I lose all of my contacts, settings and all data.  VERY frustrating. I had recived two new phones (before applecare ran out) and have done the resotre several times.  No one can tell me what is in that creates this probelm.  I've tried differenet chargers one by one in case they are the probelm.  one int he car, one in a kitchen outlet, one at my home computer (sync) and on at my office computer (non-sync). 
    Problem just showed up again randomly two days ago,  no new apps or hardware.  battery drains from full to 0 in two hours.
    Apple, please fix.

  • Why is the battery draining so fast?

    Everything in safari is shut down, all multi-tasking is turned off too. My phone is only 7 months old & has worked fine up until today when I noticed the battery draining so fast.

    @ neeraj_96 - Thanks for the input, but that's not the issue.  As I was saying in my reply, my phone has had a wonderful battery life up until yesterday. This has nothing to do with turning off fetching or lowering my brightness.  I have done no major changes in the settings to my iPhone since yesterday, but now all the sudden I can barely hold a charge.  I completely charged it last night to 100%.  This morning I woke up and it was at 56%.  My wife has an iPhone 4, hers was at 96% and this morning it is at 91%.  Something is definitely up with my phone's battery that is not a normal operation.
    I have tried to do a complete reboot of the phone (holding the power button and the home key down for 10 seconds) and that has not solved the problem.  I would suspect that it's an application running in the background, but I figured, as @williamformlouisville stated, that would have killed any rouge application draining my battery, but it has not helped.  This is definitely not normal for this phone's operation.

  • Anyone having same problem? I phone 4 after updating to Vers.5.1.1. battery cannot be 100% full charge, always stop at 99% and battery drains off fast too :(

    Anyone having same problem? I phone 4 after updating to Vers.5.1.1. battery cannot be 100% full charge, always stop at 99% and battery drains off fast too

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Battery Draining Very Fast after Updating 7.1.1 ... And after switching Off Location Service.,Siri.,and 3G

    My Battery Draining Very Fast after Updateing 7.1.1

     Your device might keep syncing your Emails,  Contacts and some other applications. 
    Reboot your device in this manner, when the device On,  connect to the wall outlet charger and remove the battery. Leave it for 30 minutes then reinsert.  You may need to do it once a day, until the issues solved.  Reboot in this manner will fix any incorrect battery meter and similar apps error.

    I am really disappointed.

  • My ipad battery drains much faster after iOS 7 upgrade

    my ipad battery drains 4x faster after ios7 upgrade.....how do I fix this? 

    Dig into your settings. iOS7 defaults a lot of stuff on that you may not need. Such as tons of notifications, background app updates, background app refresh. Turn extra stuff off and see if that helps.

  • I have updated ipad3 to ios7 and now battery drains very fast even when not in use

    Why is my battery draining so fast even when I'm not using it . last night I put it down with 45% and woke up to dead battery. I upgraded to ios7 last week. I have ipad 3.thanks

    Hi!
    I have an iPad 3,3 GSM. I didn't update it since iOS 5.1.1. iPad works almost a week for me. And updated it to 7.1 at last Friday.
    After update my battery drains notable fast. ~10-12% overnight(~8h) in standby mode. I've tried to turn off parallax, all location services and background apps. But nothing's changed.
    So I''ve found that in usage section I ve almost the same values of usage and standby time. And I realized that one thing that drains my battery is "Find my ipad" service!!! I turned off it and my ipad works as with iOS 5.1.1:
    2% overnight max!! And now it's drained only 14% after 4h20m of usage with parallax turned on! (yes i've only surfed web and read a book but nevertheless)
    So it's your choice what to prefer - be sure that your ipad either protected from stealing or long battery life!
