I found a battery fix for iOS 5

I upgraded my ipone 4 to ios5 and had the same issue.  I did the same thing everybody did and turned all the cool fetures off, I even went to apple.  I could litterally watch the batter drop.  I started looking again and found a new feature on ios 5 called diagnostics & usage under settings, general, about.  If you click on it and changed to don't send rather than automatic send your battery life will be back to normal.  I looked up the reoports it was sending down where it says diagnostic & usage data, and found my phone was sending out around 200 reports a day back to apple.  This is what was draining my battery and most likely yours too.  Apple uses this to help diagnose problems with the ios and apps.  Good Luck!

yes mate i read about 3 topics with this problem but u need to report the change so people can believe

  • Is Apple working on bug fixes for IOS 8.0.2? Wish I had NOT updated! Terrible on IPad2!

    IS Apple working on bug fixes for IOS 8.0.2? It is terrible on IPad2, wish I had NOT updated!

    Since "upgrading" to iOS8.x my IPad2 is so slow and buggy.  If the old hardware can't handle the new iOS, Apple should say so.

  • Is there a fix for IOS 12.1 breaking Overdrive?

    After upgrading Itunes to IOS 12.1, Overdrive Media Console can not see the Ipod Touch. The message when attempting to transfer is, "No portable players could be found."
    I tested 4 different Ipods which had all been working with Overdrive with the same result.  I then took all four Ipods to a system running Itunes 10.7.0.21 and all were visible and able to transfer to the Ipods.
    OS: Windows 8.1
    Ipod 6.6.1
    Itunes 12.1.0.71, 64 bit
    Is there a fix for this or do I have to downgrade?

  • Please come out with a new fix for IOS 7.1 Apple!

    Dear Apple,
    Please create a fix for the battery life issue for ios 7.1 for 5S.
    I have tried restoring the phone to new and problem persist.
    When the phone was new, even when Im on LTE, the battery does not suck at all.
    With LTE, the battery was stable back when the phone was new.
    Now Im losing 2% every minute even with LTE off and other things like Background App refresh and Brightness etc turned off and low.
    5S is too expensive of a phone to have this problem.

  • How to save battery life for ios 7

    How do you save battery life

    There is many things to help save battery life on IOS, hear are some battery saving tips I use when with low battery  .
    Battery saver 1: Turn off Bluetooth , by going to "Settings>Bluetooth" and switching the little "On/Off" toggle.
    Battery saver 2: Turn down the screen brightness half way or just below is fine, for at home, but if you use your idevice outside turn it up just below max brightness so you can see the screen, to turn up or down brightness you can navigate to "Settings>Wallpaper and Brightness" and there will be a slider to adjust brightness.Or if you are on IOS 7 you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen and it will bring up "Action Centre" and there will be a little sun icon, next to it will be another brightness slider, to exit "Action Centre" press the home button or just swipe the little down arrow.
    Battery saver 3: Volume turn the volume up and down at certain times of day "eg: I turn volume up full or just below in the afternoons because most things are going on in the afternoon that probably make lots of noise, and at night turn it down because your ears have adjusted to quietness  and can pickup on quieter sounds".
    Battery saver 4: Turn off WIFI when not in use "eg when playing games or just switched off" you can do this by going to "Settings>WIFI" there will be a "On/Off" toggle or via "Action Centre" "IOS 7+".
    Battery saver 5: When your not going to be using your device for a while shut it down by holding the "Sleep/Wake" button.
    Battery saver 6: Close apps running in the background by double tapping the home button and holding down the running apps then tap the little "-" minus in a red circle to close "IOS 6 and lower", things are a little different with IOS 7 its the same process of double tapping  the home button but a different way to execute the apps, you do this by swiping "Up" on the open apps. "Tip: You can swipe 3 at once!".

  • Any fix for ios 5 soft subs?

    I'm a new user. I'm just learning the ins and outs of apple. I have downloaded an app 'Gpalyer'. Now I'm just wondering if there's already a fix for playing soft subtitles in ios5?
    As most of ios5 users experience, movie players do not show the 2nd line of soft subs anymore.

    I have browsed discussions also in this community and I found several topics concerning similar problems but no fix was offered. Any ideas or work around for this problem?

  • Temporary Fix for battery drain for iOS 5

    After going through various recommendations, the following worked for me:
    1. Notifcations - Settings -> Notifications
         Under the 'In Notifcation Center' category, select Calendar and turn the Notification Center option 'OFF"
         This seems to be the main problem for those that have their exchange accounts synced with their phones.
         In addition, I also removed all other items from Notification Center except for Weather and it seemed to slow down the battery drain considerably.
    2. Location Services - Settings -> Location Services
         You can see what apps/services have been using or currently using the location service by noticing a grey or purple arrow next to the line item. Go through what items have the location service ON, and see if you really require some of them to access your location information, the less the better.
    This helped a LOT: Scroll down to the bottom and access 'System Services'. Under 'System Services' uncheck all except 'Cell Network Search', .Compass Calibration' & 'Traffic'.
    3. Let the battery drain completely until the phone switches off on its own, then charge it to 100% without using the phone. Not sure if this really helped, but I wanted to try as many options as possible.
    I think the drain is due to a combination of different issues, and hope Apple release a patch soon to fix this annoying problem, till then I hope the above helps.

    The 3G option. WHEN that option is off, iphone is connected to your operators 2g network! Because 3G has often weaker signals then 2G
    Good luck!

  • Found fix for iOS 6 wifi issues

    go to settings-safari-turn off "use cellular data"-connect to wifi-go back and turn it on again.

    If you are having the issue where it takes you to a login page, goto Settings > WiFi and tap on the blue button to the right of your network name. There'll probably be an option to auto-join and you'll want to toggle that. If it's off, turn it on then back off. If it's on, toggle it off. If prompted to login again, just hit Cancel in the upper-right. Now goto Safari app and you should be prompted to connect to your network at which time it should work. It did for me at least and a friend of mine.

  • Temp fix for iOS 6 not pushing Exchange mail

    All,
    If you are reading this, you are probable having the same problem as I am:
    After you switched to the iPhone 5, Exchange mail is no longer PUSHing to your device.  I have done testing and this problem affects:
    1) iPhone 5's running connecting to Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 servers.
    This does not effect:
    1) my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 Beta 6.0 10A5376e
    Troubleshooting:
    1) Wiped phone and started with completely fresh iOS 6 on my iPhone 5. The only thing I did was add my exchange account.
    -Still had same issue.
    ** How to fix this issue:
    1. Go to Mail, Contacts, and Calendar.  Click "Fetch New Data".  Make sure push is on. 
    2.  Go back to Mail, Contact, and Calendar.  Click on your exchange account. Click on "Days to Sync".  Even if it is set to what you want this on, chance it to a different setting (i.e. 1 week).  You can change this back later, but this is the only way to fix it.
    3. Go back to Mail COntact and Calendar.  Click on "Show".  No matter what this setting is on, change it to a different setting. (i.e. 100 recent messages).
    4.  Reboot your iPhone 5
    5.  Exchange PUSH will be working now.
    Thanks,
    Clay

    Thanks Superclay, but I've already tried that and more...still no luck it works for like 5 to 10 minutes then stops pushing.  I even went as far replacing my iphone 5 today and still no luck.  I also deleted my exchange account from my exchange server and recreated it, deleted device partnerships and re-added.....nothing push is still not working.  Push email for me is very significant.  I too am on Verizon.  I had to go back to my 4S which is running IOS 6 but push works flawlessly on that device.  It must be some kind of code that runs on the IOS 6 version for iphone 5 that is fudging this up.  I hope Apple and Verizon tackle this issue immediately because its causing me not to use my iphone 5, such a critical feature....not working...stay positive!

  • Will iPod touch 5 have battery percentage for iOS 8?

    Was wondering if iOS 8 will be included for iPod touch 5g. Will it have battery percentage??

    The people who know can't says since you can't discuss iOS 8 in this public forum.
    You can "install" battery % now but it is not accurate. It is the same way it is done natively on an iPhone and iPad.

  • When is the new fix for ios 8 coming after 8.0.1 failed?

    Wi-Fi is slow, my battery is draining very fast, and my photos on the Cloud are not on my device anymore. Ive also experienced some freezing and non responses to touch at various times. When will you resend the fix after the fix?

    None of your issues have anything to do with 8.0.1. The only issue with 8.0.1 is some phones can no longer connect to the cellular network. If your phone has cell phone and data service you don't have an 8.0.1 problem, but you probably have an app problem. If you really want to go back to 8.0 just restore your phone using iTunes and it will reinstall 8.0, as 8.0.1 has been pulled.
