IOS 5.0.1 Kills My iPhone 4 Battery
I have an iPhone and before doing the iOS 5.0.1 update my battery would last 2 days easy and sometimes 3 depending on usage. I religiously do the updates that Apple sends out and did the iOS 5.0.1 update last week and now my battery won't even get through an 8 hour day. It is very frustrating. Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks!!
Hmmm. It actually worked for me. My phone was loosing 5%/hr on standby in iOS 5.0 with everything enabled, location services, etc. 5.0.1 decreased that to 1%/hr.
Background Processes:
I also killed all the background procs. All the procs that are running in the backgraound are restarted in the background even after a reboot. Is this a feature? It seems to me a reboot of the iPhone should kill all background procs and they should only be restarted again opon manually selecting the application. When I first checked the background procs by double clicking the home button, there were 50 or so running. Everything that I had started since buying the iPhone was a background process. This is possibly the difference between users. If some users have procs running in the background that aren't actuallly sleeping, but are chewing up cpu cycles and battery... there ya go. It all depends on the app, who wrote it, and how well it behaves. I for one obtained better battery life by killing these procs.

Hi Julia D.
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below will explain how Apple ID's are used with various services like iCloud and the iTunes Store.
Do all of the members of your family share the same Apple ID for both?

Here is some specific information for setting up the Messages app:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.

iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will be resent using SMS or MMS, depending on the content. You can turn this behavior on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

IOS 5.0.1 - Made my iPhone 4S battery performance worse!
I upgraded my iphone 4S to the 5.0.1 release today. However, I've noticed that my battery life has actually gotten worse since I upgrade. For example, I've been home for approximately 30 minutes and my battery has gone down in 8%. In the 30 minutes, I had a 30 second phone call and sent 3 text messages. I am connected to our wi-fi (which is a strong connection) and I have re-started my phone.
Please let me know if anyone else is having any issues!?!!?
Apple - Can you please fix the iphone 4s battery issues? I might as well go get a 4g android phone if the battery life remains this poor.Hmmm. It actually worked for me. My phone was loosing 5%/hr on standby in iOS 5.0 with everything enabled, location services, etc. 5.0.1 decreased that to 1%/hr.

My iPhone 5 was working well on the ios 8 and I never seen the update to the 8.0.1 but I seen the update to 8.0.2 and so I updated. And I really shouldn't have. My phone now says I need to factory reset my phone and it wont turn on. The screen lights up to the cord and red itunes circle when I plug it into my iMac. But other then that the phone don't work. I'm very ****** off.......apple needs to get their thinking caps on and get this figured out and thats in a hurry.
Now I just tried to restore the phone cause it won't let me do anything else. And now after it downloaded the update it's tell me there was a error. And I'll have to try again.I'm having differents issues since I updated to IOS 8.0.2.... I've done several restores puting the device into Recovery mode, tried differents PC, tried to configure as new iphone etc. etc.
What happens to me is that right after doing the installation and registration process of the "new iphone" the device gets totally frozen, absoluty laggy, the home button does not response, screen does not work... the device gets totally stuck; which is pretty strange because the screen and buttons works well only on the registration process. -
How can i stop iOS6 from killing my iPhone 4s battery?
i have ttried resetting all seetings to default, i have nothing running in background, have stopped all cellular activity except phone, and still my phone depletes at the rate of 30%/hour. lasted 1.5 days without a charge before the iOS 6 'upgrade'
I have also upgraded my iPad2 to iOS6 with absolutely no detriment. what gives?
I'm ready to reactivate my android phone. HELP APPLE!My apologies...the version is 11.1.4.62 not as stated aboive in my problem description. I'm trying again and it just finished syncing fine and my iPhone 5 is still connected to iTuns physcially with USB lightening cable and is displaying the iPhone icon top right. I clicked on it and iTunes is now "hung' or locked up. Shows to be an active running application but can't get back to it so willl have to kill with task manager. There is some kind of problem going on with the latest version of iTunes and Wndows 7 and 8.1 or something. My iPhone 5 now has a new feature that it is now asking me if I "Trust" this computer. iTunes just came "unhung" after several minutes while I was typing this. Now I am going to start the backup to this computer HP Winsows 8.1 and iTune 11.1.4.62 and see what happens. Says it is Backing up Jerrys iPhone but the Barber Pole progress bar is not turning an iTunes is hung again and I cant get back to it from this page I am typing on. Maybe it will eventually release as it did a moment ago.

Hi there,
I've just installed ios 7.0.6 on my iphone 4 and now lost voice on outgoing and incoming calls.It rings on incoming and I'm told rings on the recipient's 'phone, but then no vocal communication...its just dead. My simm is ok, i've checked it, I've done a full clean and restore of the 'phone. Still no calls.
I've not caused any physical or water damage to the 'phone. I would welcome any help/suggestions to get my calls back asap.
Please help.
Miss libertyHave you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, 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).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question. -
Ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s very low battery runtime... HELP!!!
ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s + very low battery runtime... HELP!!!
Welcome, sorry to hear your news, there are numerous threads on this issue. Try the trouble shooting on the other threads, I do not recommend sticking it in the freezer or heating with a hair dryer though,
If it's within warranty and trouble shooting doesn't work, get it. Ack to apple ASAP and get it replaced.
Many others are in the same position, who also have a 4s
Good luck -
After recently downgrading from iOS 7 back to iOS 6.1.4 on my iPhone whenever I go into the App Store to redownload my apps it only gives me the option "open" but I don't have the apps, therefore I don't HAve the app to open. Please help
How can u downgrade. Apple doesn't allow that. Unless your iPhone 5 is jail broken. iOS 7 isn't even out yet. There Is no way u can get iOS 7 unless it was beta. And if so beta is having some issues.

Whatever on internet information like go to cmd and run as administrator to make change hosts file
Like ipconfig/flushdns everything everything what I can…. but I dint get good results and good information about this error
Somebody told me this is hardware problem, I make change my battery and charging connector too.
I don’t know what to do next.. because I don’t leave any experiment on my stuck phone..
Note : one is big issue that apple support team is also and giving good answer

I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?
I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue. -
Headphone remote not working after iOS 8.1.2 update on iPhone 5
Following iOS 8.1.2 update my iPhone 5 no longer responds to the inline remote on my headphones. Remote still works fine with my laptop so the problem is specific to the updated iPhone. I am using SkullCandy Earbuds. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hello Nathan,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your iPhone's camera. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
