  • After updating my iPhone 5 to ios 7 my battery drains quicker than before is it a bug?

    Before the update my fone would last the whole day now after iI got off of work it was dead it's a pain dealing with this is it a bug or what??

    I had the same thing yesterday. After google gave me nothing and after I was sure my phone had enough charge to restart, I did a reset on my phone...
    Holding down the Power button, volume button and selector button on the front - for about 30 secs (or untill I knew the beeping had stopped).
    I cant remember if I then restarted it or it it restarted itself, but now its back to normal! No memory loss from the phone either.
    Freeked me out as its a new iphone 4s but glad to have it back! Without having to take it to get fixed by a pro.
    Hope that helps

  • Will Apple fix the iOS 5.1 battery drain issue?

    People keep giving battery saving solutions to the iOS 5.1 battery drain problem but that is not the issue.  With iOS 5.0 battery life was terriable. Apple quickly fixed it with 5.01.  Now with 5.1 battery life is back to terrible.  I could go at least two days without a charge.  After the update (and all my patterns and behaviors being the same), I don't even get a full day!  Apple needs to fix this! Or allow us to go back to iOS 5.01.  Will Apple fix this and if so how soon can we expect a solution?

    Yes, you need to setup the phone as new.  I understand your issues on the whole process of setting everything from scratch, I'm afraid that's the only way out.  However, if you look closely, on the whole, it boils down to following issues only.
    Contacts - You will get this back once you setup your iCloud account on the phone so it shouldn't be a great issue.
    Apps - Do a transfer purchase to your mac/pc before going for firmware complete reset, once you set the phone as new, you can always sync back the apps. This beats the inapp things like game levels, or your pdf docs synced earlier.  iBooks can be restored, otherwise enable document and files backup to iCloud in settings before resetting the phone, then you can get everything back from iCloud.
    Mails - If you have a mac you can keep all your mail accounts configured on Mail.app, post install you can bring them back from Mail.app to phone easily; otherwise, I'm afraid you need to do everything manually
    Settings - you will have to setup your wifi configuration, VPN if any manually from the scratch
    Dispite all the hasseles listed above, the battery fix would be a hot sun on the face in a winter day.  Go for it!

  • I have just got my new iPhone 4 white and the battery drains quicker than it should. How would I fix this?

    I got my new iphone 4 white 32GB today and the battery drains quicker than it should

    So based on that you're saying around 6 hours discharge? That sounds about right if you're on the web using 3G. Games and apps eat up the battery faster.
    Talk time:
    Up to 7 hours on 3G
    Up to 14 hours on 2G (GSM model only)
    Standby time: Up to 300 hours
    Internet use:
    Up to 6 hours on 3G
    Up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
    Video playback: Up to 10 hours
    Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
    Knowing what you were using it for would help

  • IOS 4.1 battery drain understood

    So I went to the Apple Store locally today to have my iPhone 4 examined for the post iOS 4.1 battery drain and heat issue.
    It took about 90 seconds for them to identify an issue and replace my phone. Apparently the 4.1 update changes the modem software rev and actually creates a background process that is unnamed and never stops. It's a bug apparently.
    My iPhone 4 was one of the original 600,000 sold on day one. In fact, mine was delivered the day before the release. I am thinking the first phones might be more susceptible to this.
    So, the replacement is running 4.0.2 and the older modem FW rev and is absolutely wonderful again. No 4.1 until this issue is resolved.
    Point is, there is an actual issue with SOME of the phones, so don't let anyone tell you you're wrong and you shouldn't have to disable ANYTHING to use your phone normally.
    The guys at my local store were very helpful and interested in this issue.
    Anyway, if you're troubled by the battery drain, take your phone back and let them try to identify if yours is affected. After all, if we want the bugs fixed, we need to let them know and this forum really won't do that.

    Good on ya' then. I'm glad it's not widespread. However, it's also not a one-off. If it's a problem the Genius Bar knows about already, then a fix is obviously in the works. Just like with the touch of death, they're in damage control mode until they know how big it is.
    I'm so tempted to update the new phone, but it's just working so well on 4.0.2 that the idea of a repeat just terrifies me.

  • Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
    First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
    The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
    Good luck

    Try to set it up as new device:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If this does not help, try again, this time without using the latest backup.
    If you are using push/fetch for your mail, deleting the account and setting it up again after a restart could also solve your problem.

  • MBA 2013 battery drain quickly during sleep after updated to mavericks

    Hi,
    After I updated to mavericks this Tuesday, I noticed the battery drains quickly during sleep mode.
    Before the system update, everything was ok. Each night after I closed the lid, it went to sleep and the battery only droped less than 5% after sleep of the whole night.
    But during the last two nights after system update, it drained more than 50% of the battery during 8-hour sleep. I could feel some heat on its back when I picked it up. I did not change any system setting or installed any new apps.
    my MBA: latest 2013 version, 13 inch, haswell i7, 8G ram, 256 SSD.
    I liked my mba so much because of the long battery life. But now It was really annoying because I have to charge it very often.
    Any ideas how to solve this issue?

    Hi Hans,
    There's another thread going with the same issue as you... check:

    I still haven't seen a resolution anywhere... smacks of something on Apple's side with so many users complaning

  • Issues with newest update, battery draining quickly, phone very hot

    I recently updated my IOS to the newest edition. I do not know much about the techonological aspects of the phone and how it works, but I do know how to reboot the phone, reset the phone and close out all the applications so that there is no software running in the background.
    Since updating the phone, I have experienced so many problems. The most unsettling one is that the phone is very very hot to the touch while it is syncing to my itunes and while it is charging.
    I am not sure what is going on in the background, but currently I am in the process of studying for final exams and I don't really want to drive all the way out to see the Apple geniuses if it is something that I could possibly fix at home.
    Also the battery is draining quickly as a result of whatever application is running in the background. I have turned my email off from push, it is now manual. I have also pretty much changed the setting of all the applications that use location or push for notifications because I am not sure what is making the phone run hot.
    Any feedback would be amazing!
    thanks

    when you have a heating issue there isnt much you can really do.
    To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
    First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
    If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

  • My iPhone 5 is getting very hot and battery drains quickly.. normal?

    I've been having a variety of signal related problems with my iPhone 5 and I'm wondering if anyone can offer any advice.  From day 1 I have observed that my phone will have poor signal strength or will switch from 4G or LTE into Edge mode, even if my wife standing right next to me (same network same iphone 5) has better signal.  Phone also frequently gets quite hot (to were it's uncomfortable to hold).
    I did a long hike last weekend and in the space of 3.5 hours, while doing nothing but listening to music and taking a few photos, the phone was nearly drained (20%).  If I tried to take a photo it would simply shut down after pressing the shutter button.  I also had no signal (phone was searching), even though other AT&T iphone users around me had signal and were texting, making calls and sending photos (this was from a mountain top so the temps were quite low).
    Apple diagnosed the radio in my phone and said it is fine (good attenuation and no dropped calls).  They recommended that I wipe the phone and set it up as a new phone versus restoring from a backup (what a pain).  I did this and while returning from an outing yesterday I had 3 bars of LTE signal and noticed that with just light browsing the phone got very very warm and the battery was draining quickly.  In the space of just an hour the phone plummeted from 75% to 30%.
    I'm trying to determine if all of this is "normal" or if I should demand a replacement phone.  I have tons of Macs, iPads, iPhones, etc (for both myself and my wife) and I've never seen Apple so reluctant to do a hardware swapout as they were when I was in the store yesterday.

    Did you transfer the backup for your 3GS to your iPhone 4S?
    Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    If no change after a reset and you transferred the backup for your 3GS to your 4S, try restoring your 4S with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from a backup to see if this makes any difference.

  • IOS 7.1 battery drain iPhone 4S

    While the performance increase on iOS 7.1 appears genuine - I'm experiencing serious battery drain on my iPhone 4S (64GB model).
    I have parallax disabled as well as background app refresh disabled.
    I updated from iOS 7.06 to 7.1 via USB cable attached to my Mac Pro and the latest version of iTunes running on Mavericks latest version as well. I had closed all apps and done a reset before connecting to iTunes where I did a backup and sync prior to updating.
    The drain I'm experiencing is during usage, not standby as much. When I use my standard apps (mail, safari, txt, etc.) I'm seeing the battery drain about 1% per minute. I'm not using GPS or bluetooth.
    I followed one suggested on Apple Forums to drain battery to about 40%, then do another hard reset. Doesn't seem to help.
    Anyone know of similar issues or what to try next?
    Are there any tools available to see what apps might be running in the background that are causing the processor to drain the battery so fast?  And yes I am now closing all apps after using them to try anything to save battery.
    Very tempted to find a way to downgrade to 7.06...

    Thought I'd reply to this seen as no one else has, I am also experiencing very similar problems with my 4s and by the looks of it is it's across all handsets. I've never had any battery issues with my iPhone even 7.0.6 was fine, but since updating to 7.1 the battery is ticking down very fast. I fully charged in the morning and left it in my locker all day at work when I got my hands on it it's gone down to 52% just on its own!!
    I really hope they sort this out fast the irony is 7.1 was supposed to help battery life!
