HT4623 My iphone 4s battery depletes really quickly since updating to ios6

Since I updated my iphone my battery doesn't even last a day, it used to last a couple without needing charging

I have read in other threads that with the new software, location stays on for most apps.  You would have to manually go into settings and change that.  I do know that will drain your battery like crazy.  Also, since there are WiFi issues with iOS6 as well, if its having a hard time connecting to WiFi, that will also drain your battery at warp speed.
Hope those little tid bits help.  The iPhone 5 drains a lot faster than the 4 and 4s as well according to many threads on here.

  • Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?

    Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?

    1. Check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
    2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.9 or later.
    3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
    4. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
    5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • HT204406 Since updating to ios6 I can't view any imatched music on my iphone

    Since updating to ios6 I can't view any music on my iPhone. Previously i had all music library matched and could view everything on my phone as could my husband on his iPhone. My husbands still able to view music since upgrading to io6 but I can't. I have an iPhone 4 and he has an iPhone 4S. It originally showed the artists and showed songs but there were no album names or track names and the length of each song was 0:00. Now there is nothing at all showing and no playlists. All my music and playlists are on iTunes. Please help!

    Hey,
    I had the same problem. Could not connect my iPad (3/new) to the personal hotspot from my iphone4. Bothe are running ios6.
    I don't know if this will permanently fix your problem but it seemed to work for me.
    First, restart both (iPhone and iPad).
    Then, on the iPad go to settings - general - Siri, and turn Siri off.
    Now turn on hotspot on your phone and connect your iPad.
    Hopefully this helped.
    Apple support team, apart from maps, there are several bugs in ios6. I regret updating my devices To ios6. Please fix.
    Sam.

  • HT204291 Airplay mirroring on my iPhone 4s has disappeared since updating to iOS6.1. Has anyone else seen this same problem?

    The mirror option seems to be missing since updating to iOS6.1
    I can still use airplay from applications that allow it, however I can not find the option to mirror my whole iPhone as I could with iOS 6.0.
    Anyone know a workaround?
    EDIT>>> FEATURE IS NOT MISSING
    It took me several restarts of my iphone, but the feature has reappeared.
    Message was edited by: pjanczuk

    I have the same issue. Any other app works with airplay. Music app, videos received in iMessages, YouTube and so on. The videos in the camera roll don't want to airplay. Either I get a black screen or a spinning wheel on TV. Any ideas?

  • IPhone 5 battery drains very quickly

    I've had an iPhone 5 for about a year and a half and it all of a sudden started draining really quickly.  Without using it outside of a few texts, it is at 50% by noon.  With use, it easily completely drained by then.  Also, I have noticed a few odd things regarding charging my phone: I receive  a "this accessory is not meant for this device and may not charge" error and when plugged into my car charger, it alternates between charging and not charging rapidly, just making the battery drain even faster.  I replaced the car charger, and no longer have this problem, but recently had the same problem when trying a new external portable charging source.  I've stopped using the particular cord that gave me the error, and think this has solved the problem.  Just mentioning both these issues as I've never had problems with them before.
    Here are the things I've tried to fix the problem:
    Tested battery at Apple.  First time was deemed okay, the next week they said it was borderline failing (80%). 
    Replaced the battery by buying a battery online ($25, and relatively well rated).  Continued to see problems.
    Updated settings (remove location services, switch off bluetooth and wifi, turn off push for all email accounts, you name it I've tried it).  Although I tried these things, I did have a phone with all these settings turned on for a year and a half and still had a battery that would last me through the day, so I don't think settings alone are the problem.
    Restored phone to factory settings (not to previous iphone back up).  This was to address any software bugs that could be causing the problem.
    Replaced battery with a second battery bought online (bought the highest rated battery I could find). 
    Took phone into iPhone repair store.  They looked at the inside of the phone and said it looked good.  Replaced battery again. 
    After all of this, my battery still drains super quickly.  I do not think it the battery since I've replaced it three times and don't think it is the software since I did a restore to factory settings. 
    Does anyone have any idea what it could be?  I've tried everything I could think of and need to squeeze another 5 months out of this phone until I'm eligible for the upgrade.  Right now I have an external battery pack, but this is a bit of a pain to charge and carry around. 
    A friend of a friend has had some similar issues and they said they had the lightning connector replaced, and it solved the problem.  Anyone have any experience with this?
    Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I have been round and round with Apple "geniuses" trying to resolve battery drainage issues. I have turned off all kinds of background programs, reset the phone and even did a full restore. Nothing worked. The end result was an Apple senior technician just giving up and telling me that the battery life I'm getting is "good." I don't see how that's the case since I used to go to work, use my phone and come home with battery power still in the 70s or 60s if I was really active. Now with most everything turned off, I come home with battery power in the 30s and sometimes even the 20s, just barely hanging on to operational status. I now have to carry my charger around with me and charge this hunk of junk every opportunity I get. The diagnostic on the battery shows it to be fine which is not surprising considering I take very good care of my phone. I had no issues until installing that battery sucking virus known as iOS 8.1. I am so utterly disappointed with Apple that I will never buy any of their junk products again. I am especially angry at being told that the life I'm getting is somehow "good." I imagine that no one actually tested iOS 8.1 before rolling it out. They finished the last line of code and immediately issued it to the public. My interactions with Apple Support confirm that they only care about people who have purchased their latest product. Have an iPhone 5? Too bad! You need to get the iPhone 6 to continue enjoying your Apple experience. Screw their overpriced crap.

  • Why does my battery die so quickly after updating to iOS 6.0.2 on the iPhone 5!?

    Is there a fix to this or do we have to wait for the next update? My iPhone has become a useless 2-hour-running brick in my pocket...

    Yes, my battery is draining quickly and recharging slowly.  Search is extremely slow, aol email won't work.  Kindle app all messed up, lost all on device but have it backed up on amazon.  I have slowly been discovering all that is wrong since Sunday's debacle of an update.  Apple deleted a post siting improper just because i told the truth.  They can delete all they want but this is one  screwed up mess and they are desperate.

  • IPhone 6 battery down so quickly on standby or while using it

    i bought iPhone 6 from uae last month and it's battery down so quickly on standby or while using it please help me to sort out this problem
    thanks

    Closing apps can actually increase battery drain. See: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. You can see which apps are using power by going to Settings/General/ Usage - Battery Usage.

  • My iPhone 5 Battery Drains Too Quickly! Apps closed, bluetooth off, brightness, low, no notifications...What else can I do?

    My iPhone 5 battery life is terrible! The software is updated--ios 7.0.6. I have to charge my phone 2-3 times a day on some days. I have to close all apps, turn off location services, turn off bluetooth, turn off 90% of my notifications, lower the screeen brightness to less than 10-15%, and turn off all push notifications--all to get my battery to last until 6:00pm.
    I may talk on the phone 10-20 minutes a day, but check emails on my phone a few times in 10 hours. I am indoors most of the day so cold temperatures aren't at play (although if I do use my phone in the cold (less than 25 degrees), the battery drains within minutes!) If I leave  my Camera, Facebook, Maps, or the Weather Channel open in the background, my battery will go from 100% to 20% in less than 2 hours.
    I have been to the Genius Bar more than once. They replaced the battery about a year ago becasue it was bad. I returned a few weeks ago to have them checked my battery again and it tested fine. The Genius I spoke with wiped my phone and removed all data on it and reset it. Unfortunately, the problem has not been solved.
    Has anyone had similar problems? How did you resolve them?

    I set the phone up this morning as a new phone no back up.
    Brightness set to full
    No wifi
    No bluetooth
    No back ground programs running
    Fetch every 15 minutes for emails for half the day and then went to manually for second half
    3G for half day and 2g for second half
    tethering off
    thats all I can think of. My friend and I looked at all his setting and mine and they were both similar except he keeps his on wifi all day.
    we put them to exact same spec when i got to his house at 3. I had close to 50% from a full overnight charge and when I left at 7:30 I left dead and His was at 17% left still from the previous day and when I left his was at 8%
    I dont know

  • My battery drains really quickly after upgrading to OS X Yosemite

    I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite.   After doing so, my battery drains VERY quickly.  About 1 percent per minute.   Is there any fix for this?   Can I roll back my OS?  

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HT2188 IPHONE 4S BATTERY RUNNING DOWN QUICKLY

    iPhone 4s battery suddenly runs down in under 2 hours of non-active (standby) use.  No idea why, this just started happening a few days ago - no new apps put in to cause this, all location services turned off, no push mail -- have done all the standard checks.  Also, the battery isn't accepting a charge from outlets plugged into the wall (only ones into the computer)--I get the lightning bolt signal at the top right, but the charge simply continues to drop.  Anyone have similar issues?

    Take it to an Apple Store to be checked out.
