HT4623 Why is battery draining so fast on my iPad with iOS 7?

Since I have updated to iOS 7, my iPad battery is draining multiple times a day, whether it is being used or not.  I have location services turned off, and it had been over a week since I did the upgrade.  how can i improve the battery life?  If not,can I go back to the previous operating system?

I haven't seen that problem with iOS 7.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
If these don't correct the problem connect to iTunes and do a restore.
You can't downgrade iOS levels.

  • I want to know why my battery drains so fast on my iPhone 4S

    I have iPhone 4S since Friday... four days now and the battery is dranning so fast. I went to Apple today in London to find out that is wrong with the phone. All they told me that the phone is faulty and they will exchange the phone for me. So they did and when I came home i charged my phone to 100%. I made two phone calls, I check my Facebook for 3 mins and I sign out from it. There are no applications running in the background, there is no mail set up. From 100% to 80% within 10 mins. I don't get it? I think the main problem is the iOS and the phone itself. Apple why do you lunch product that is not ready yet to be lunch. Siri don't work in UK. Siri only work in US. Why did you lunch the iPhone 4S in UK for if Siri doesn't even work in the UK. You didn't even let people know that Siri doesn't work outside of US.

    I have had the same issue with VERY rapid battery drain, measured to the point of losing 2-3% post-calibration charge every 5 minutes at idle (no apps running, and screen off), plus the extreme heat generated. I was even losing about 1% charge every 15 mins while plugged into an Apple iPad USB charger.
    I have been one-by-one disabling groups of services, and enabling parts of them in order to correct this. I have after days of trial and error found that (at least in my case), that nothing really made a significant difference until I turned off contact sync for iCloud, with all other iCloud services are on using the defaults.
    I have left on Siri, all push (email and otherwise), notification, and location services, WiFi, bluetooth, and have brightness set to a comfortable 50% with auto-brightness on. (FYI: My other 5 emails are all set up as Active Sync)
    In working through this process of elimination, I have now reduced my battery consumption to less than 1% battery charge loss every 30 minutes, and hope that it may help you as well.
    Now I understand that everyone's setup and experience will be different, but this has been 3 days of initially freaking out and then finally getting down to methodical testing in order to avoid possibly having to return a faulty phone with extreme overheating and battery problems. I'm not sure what the issue may be, but hope that it's just a bug, but until it's all fixed, I can live without iCloud contact sync.

  • Why do podcasts update more quickly on my ipad with iOS 6.1.3 than on my iPhone 5s with 7.0.4?

    I subscribe to a few daily podcasts (Dan Patrick Show and The Tony Kornheiser Show). They will auto download on my iPad running iOS 6 without any issues. But my iPhone 5s running 7 will not recognize the new shows for hours or days after they have been on my iPad.
    Anyone else run into this problem? This is why I am loathe to update my iPad.

    Could I trade it in for an iPad mini with iOS 6.
    That would depend on two things:
    1) Finding an iPad that had iOS6 pre-installed
    2) Whether the store would accept your iPad as trade in. Most won't.

  • My battery drains very fast in 3G

    hi
    i am using an iphone 3G. When i came to bahrain, i changed a new sim and the battery started draining very fast.  hardly it stays for 5 hrs even without using.  the same problem arose when i changed the sim in london and istore replaced a new phone for me.  Can any one let me know a solution why the battery drains so fast and how do I fix it.  SIM change may be accidental also.

  • 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.

  • Why is this battery draining do fast?

    So, I have an iPod 32GB 3rd gen and have just recently updated to ios 5. I'm not a fan of it and to make matters worse , my battery drains super fast.
    With the previous OS, my battery would last a couple days to about a week at the most. It would last even longer on standby. Now I am lucky if it will last ten minutes. I have turned off all notifications, dimmed the screen to the lowest setting, and turned off blue tooth.  I will leave it in standby for 10 minutes and when I come back, it will already be at 75% from a full charge. The iPod is two years old, and I understand the battery may be failing, but i've never had a problem before iOS 5 with the battery.
    Also, since upgrading my safari windows lock up frequently and sometimes kick me out. Any way to fix that?

    Sounds like your memory is being used excessively, and also the firmware has had battery issues with some people, and I'm sorry, but unless you find a way to downgrade to 5.0 or 4.3.3, your going to have to wait until 5.1 comes out!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.
