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!

  • I dropped my iPhone 5s (with a otter box) and the rear camera just stopped working. It also now starts to over heat near the rear camera and the battery drains very fast.

    I dropped my iPhone 5s on the floor on accident. Of course I have a otter box on it, but when i picked it up, the rear camera stopped working. Also the area around the rear camera started to overheat. I was so hot that it you touch it it will burn you. The battery also started to drain very fast.

    You broke it. That seems pretty obvious. A case, including the otter box, is not a magical force field that can protect your phone from the force of gravity.
    make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $269.

  • Q 10 became extremely slow in responding after update to 10.2.1.537 - battery draining very fast since, too

    Hi,
    my Q10 now got very slow after the  update to 10.2.1.537 
    It takes ages for switching from e.g. text to E-Mail Inboxes, from Hub to oriority Hub view or just to opening an email or an app.  Also, it s draining the batterry very fast. Down to 20% after only 3 hrs , and than it is switching off. Even in Aircraft mode the battery is down after 5 hrs without me even touching the device.
    Any clue what went wrong? 

    I am also experiencing all kinds of problems since the 10.2.1.537 upgrade. I now have to reboot my Q10 constantly as it will just freeze intermittently! After making a call I sometimes have to wait 5 minutes+ untill I can make another call. My battery also drains very fast - I have to charge it everyday.

  • I have a IPhone 5 thats having screen separation and my battery drains very fast

    I have a Iphone 5 that was kept in a otter box when I noticed my phone wasnt holding charge as long. I removed the case to see that the screen was separating from the body and as of now the phone wont turn on at all.

    Take the device to Apple for evaluation.

    Hi eyen83,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you're not able to make calls on your iPhone, try these troubleshooting steps first:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3406
    Follow the steps below to resolve this issue. Please test after each step.
    Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
    Check your phone settings:
    Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
    Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
    See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
    Ensure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a carrier settings update.
    Check for an iOS software update.
    Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
    If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
    Reset the network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Try to make or receive calls in another location.
    Attempt to isolate to one network band:
    If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
    If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
    Contact the carrier to check the following:
    Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
    There are no localized service outages.
    Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
    Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
    Restore the phone as new.
    If the above steps don't resolve the issue, go to an Apple Retail Store, carrier, Apple Authorized Reseller, or contact AppleCare to send the phone in for service.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • I just got an iPhone 5 64 gb model and the battery drains extremely fast even after tweaking the phone to save battery power anyone else having the same issue!?

    Should I take it to the apple store?

    Try these steps as needed.
    1. Reset iPhone (no data loss): Press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
    2. Restore in iTunes using a backup (no data loss)
    3. Restore in iTunes as new (without  using a backup)
    Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software

  • My iphone 4 upgraded to ios6.1.2 and the battery drained very fast.

    ios6.1.1 seemed much better than 6.1.2. The new version is a disaster for battery.

    Did you perform the upgrade by plugging in your phone and upgrading through iTunes? I had the exact same issue happen before because I did the upgrade through WiFi. I spoke to an Apple representative and they said that upgrading over WiFi can sometimes cause this issue. To check if you had the same problem as me, go to Settings, General, Usage, and scroll to the bottom. Look at the section called "Time since last full charge" and you'll see "Usage" and "Standby". If those two numbers are equal, they shouldn't be unless you are constantly using your phone...
    Unfortunately, the only way to fix this issue is to restore your iPhone via iTunes (if you have the problem I described). However, you you back up your phone prior to restoring it, you should not lose any of your data, but all of your settings will be reset to default.
    I hope this helps.

  • My iPad is a few years old but my battery is running down very quickly even when not in use? I have about 16% usage still available !

    My iPad is a few years old but the battery is running down very quickly, is there anything I can do ?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • I've just updated my Itunes to the newest update (iso7 I think) and now my itunes won't even open. It just jumps 2-3 times on my dock then doesn't open. I have no idea what to do , please help!

    I've just updated my Itunes to the newest update (iso7 I think) and now my itunes won't even open. It just jumps 2-3 times on my dock then doesn't open. I have no idea what to do , please help!

    Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

  • I have updated my iPad mini and now when I watch videos or photos I have  taken I cannot zoom or pan around. Please help

    I have updated my iPad mini and now when I view videos I cannot zoom or pan around like before

    Quit the mail app and reset your iPad like this:
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I have updated to iTunes 10 and now my unchecked songs are playing... I don't want this and can't figure out how to have it like it was before (not playing unchecked songs). Please help!

    I have updated to iTunes 10 and now my unchecked songs are playing... I don't want this and can't figure out how to have it like it was before (not playing unchecked songs). Please help! I leave the unchecked songs in there b/c there will come a point in time where I want to listen to these songs but right now I don't.

    yes, 10.3.1, iTunes already restarted, menu settings already like that and still it will play all unchecked songs (including the checked songs of course). Why even have check and unchecked if the program is going to play all of them anyway?!
    thanks for responding though...

    Hi sigrun from mo,
    If you are having a button issue on your iPhone that prevents you from doing further troubleshooting, you may need to have the phone serviced. You may find the following page helpful:

  • I downloaded the new 7 update and now my iPad won't charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use ?

    i downloaded the new 7 update on my ipad. it now will not charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use. any solutions ??

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Then plug it in and let it fully charge.
