IOS 5.0.1 has killed my battery life

My battery life was just fine with iOS 5.0, but the annoying little notification to update my iphone annoyed me enough to do it... now my battery life is literally draining before my eyes and I have every feature turned off, min brightness and its on airplane mode. I will go from 100% to 80% in less than an hour!

This is bullcrap, Why would Apple deny us the possibility to downgrade our iphones to previous firmware versions? I feel like I was led into a trap. I can barely use my phone, 'coz it drains dead half-way through the day.
Apple: Please resign previous versions!! at least until 5.02 is out (If that even fixes it).

    No; they will not downgrade that device, and it’s highly unlikely that they have the same iPhone model running an older iOS version.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device without using any backup would be the next step:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

  • I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1, and now my battery life has really deteriorated since. I was making it thru the day with about 75% left. Now it's only 3:30 pm, andI'm at 50%. Any solutions, yet!

    I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 yesterday, and now my battery life has really deteriorated since.I was making it thru the day with about 70% battery life left. It is now 3:30 and I'm already down to 50%. The upgrade worsened my situation. Any help out there?

    I had the battery problem. I upgraded the to iOS 5.0.1 last night and at least that problem seems to have been fixed. However, the problem with no audio on phone calls remains. Have not tried swapping the SIM card yet. The ATT guy says that they have resolved 90% of the no audio issues with a new SIM card. Not sure athat what has to do with anything but will try that first before requesting a replacement phone.

  • Mavericks has killed my battery!!

    Come on Apple, you've really dropped the ball on this one and you're silence is deafening!
    I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro. I installed a new genuine battery about six months ago and could use my Macbook all day without having to plug it in. Since 'upgrading' to Mavericks my battery life has dropped to only a couple of hours at most and that is on a good day! The battery monitor will say 100%, 10mins later it'll say 60%, 10mins later it's back up to 80%! What the **** is going on Apple? It's probably a good thing you didn't charge for Mavericks I suppose!
    I have tried all the suggestions on the other threads about the same problem but the issue persists.
    Is Apple working on a solution? If they are they're keeping very quiet on the subject....

  • My Iphone 4S has far less battery life since before I downloaded IOS 7.1,  Is there a bug in this IOS that wears the battery down faster?

    Since I downloaded IOS 7.1 my phone (4S) battery won't last more than eight hours and takes three or four hours to charge.  There must be a bug in this IOS that affects battery life.

  • Type of charger has effect on battery life?

    It seems that my battery has WAY more life when I charge it using the iPhone dock/USB wall plug that came with the phone...instead of other, third-party chargers.
    I noticed that, when I put the iPhone in my iHome clock radio to charge overnight, the battery seems to fully charge, but power lasts barely a day with light usage. Same when using my non-apple iPod car charger.
    Using the apple charger I was able to use my phone all weekend and barely drained half the battery.
    Could this just be the battery coming into its own after several charge/deplete cycles...or does the type of charger make a difference? Are all fully-charged symbols created equal???

    The type of charger should not make a difference to the battery capacity. It might be in your charge discharge cycles, you some how calibrated the battery, but as long as the charger supplies the correct voltage and the minimun current, it won't affect battery life at all.

  • Why has my 5s battery life been dramatically reduced since the ios7 upgrade

    I just upraded my Iphone4s to the ios7 and my battery life has dramatically reduced. Any suggestions?

    When you update an iPhones OS a lot of features, new and old, are switched on even though they might have been off by choice previously.
    Take the time to go thought settings and check that everything is the way you want it and that you only have the feature that you need/want turned on (inparticualy check the location settings Settings>Privacy>Location Service, make sure that this is only avaliable to apps you want, and that only whent the app is inuse as it can drain battery life considerably)
    hope this helps if not reply and I'll be more than happy to help further

  • Which one of these phones has the best battery lif...

    I am going to get a Nokia phone from "O2" store tomorrow. I will either get the Nokia 2700, Nokia 5130 or the Nokia 3120.
    The dying Nokia that I am replacing I have had since 2005 and the battery usually lasted over a week between charges. The phone was an inexpensive one, €60 or something. I expect this kind of performance in my new phone.
    Which of these phones have the best battery life?

    I would vote for 5130 XpressMusic. 5130 and 2700 are on par in terms of battery life. Feature-wise, the former is a tad better. But, it's all about your preference, and the cost.

  • I think ios 5.0.1 has fixed my battery problem on ipad 1

    Was glad to see this morning when I woke up ios 5.0.1 was out.
    I downloaded it straight away through the ipad it self..
    Once done I then charged up my ipad to full 100% ..
    Now I started using it from around 9am this morning and its 4.10 pm now.. and I'm still at 89% battery...I think i can safely say the problem has been fixed
    I don't know if this is normal or not..but to drop down from 100% to 99% it took around 33 mins... but I did notice from 99% to 93% it was dropping like 1% every 7-8 mins.. anyways i left it around midday at 90% 4 hours has passed now and its down to 89%... so im really pleased with the fix. I hope it stays this way lol.
    Has IOS 5.0.1 fixed everyone's ipads battery problems??
    Been reading up for the iphone 4s also and it seems 5.0.1 hasn't done anything for the battery charge... was really hoping to purchase a 4s soon ..but if they still have the battery problem I guess I'll have to wait a little longer.

    In terms of the battery, if you are not already doing so you should go through at least one charge cycle per month i.e. charging to 100%, running it down so that powers off, and then charging back up to 100%, which should help keep the battery indicator accurate - it's recommended towards the bottom of this page http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
    I hadn't noticed any problems with the battery on my first gen iPad, but I've updated anyway.
