IOS 5.1 is draining my battery!

Since the new software update, my iPad2 is being challenged on holding its battery for more than 24hrs.
Before the update I used to charge every 2-3 days with my normal use, now not even 24hrs of it.
Is anyone else having similar issue? Is it possible to downgrade to 5.0.1? That what I had before.
Thanks!

  • What is the normal amount of GB of Other Space for a new 32 GB Ipod touch 5 Generation with iOS 6.1.3? Also, will iOS 7 slow down/drain the battery of my device?

    My Other storage space was at 2.84 GB after i loaded all my music/apps onto a recently purchased 32 GB Ipod touch 5 Generation with iOS 6.1.3.  Resetting the settings and removing the music and apps did not help reduce the Other space.  I restored to a backup and got my Other storage space down to almost 400 MB.  When I started syncing music it grew 500-ish MB.  Each time I sync, the Other grows a bit more.  This is really irritating.
    The official listed available GB on my 32 GB is 28.22 GB (not including Other), so now I am irritated knowing that this Other is taking up my space when I didn't even have 32 GB of free space to begin with. So 28.22 - 2.84GB = 25.38 GB.
    I want to restore to a new device to see if that helps, but do not want to upgrade to i0S7.  Is there any way to do this?
    If I upgrade to i0S 7 I am worried it might slow my ipod or drain the battery faster.  Will it do that?  The ipod is expensive and I dont want it to go downhill and obsolete on me because it can't handle a better operating system. 

    Less than 1 1/5 GB is normal. It does grow with time.

  • IOS 6 drains my battery like IOS 5

    I have an iPhone 4S and just like when IOS 5 came out, any notifications that appear on my phone, if I don't unlock my phone (swipe the bottom), to clear out the notifications, they end up draining my battery!  Same problem when IOS 5 came out and APPLE had to release an enhancement updgarde to fix this!
    I only have Email and Facebook notifications turned on and I make sure to clear out any opened apps. I didn't have have this problem with IOS 5.1.1.  As soon as IOS 6 came out, these problems occured, just like when IOS 5 first came out.
    I used my phone 4x yesterday (2 IM's and 2 short calls) and I started with 100% battery and by 5pm, it was down to 18%. 
    2 nights ago, I went to bed with a 38% battery and when I woke up, my battery was at 0% as my phone shut itself down.
    I have also tried doing a hard reset.
    Anyone else having this issue?  Any word on when an enhancement upgrade will be available to fix this issue?

    Brad,
    I truly believe the issue is the IOS 6 software upgrade.
    I, recently, used to work for Apple (1.5 yrs) and have tried everything that there is to do with remedying this issue.
    As mentioned in my initial post, my phone did not have these issues until after installing IOS 6, which coincidentally, is having the same issue as we all had when IOS 5 was released.

  • IPhone 4S heats up and quickly drains out battery after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2

    Last Sunday i.e. on 14-Dec-2014 i upgraded my iPhone 4S (WiFI + 3G, 64GB) to iOS 8.1.2. Since then my iPhone's battery has started to drain out abnormally fast (it doesn't even last an hour after charging it fully to 100%) and the phone even heats up simultaneously.When checked under Settings> Usage> Battery Usage, i found the app-wise usage of battery like this: Phone (Audio) 36%, WhatsApp-24%, Home & Lock Scree-17%, Settings-7%, Messages-5%, Mail-4%, TOI-2%, Conatact-2%, and rest few apps 1% each. Prior to upgrading the iOS to 8.1.2, the battery life of my iPhone was normal: i just had to recharge once in 24 hours with normal usage of the phone. Could anybody help me to fix the problem? Thanks in advance. -BBS Ijam, GTK/SKM/171214

    I think iPhone 4s is oLd now we need to update our as I will have to change my battery from repair center maybe this will solve the problem the new iOS are heavy for our phones.
    *** I also have extra internal battery cover for my iPhone. I can't go out without that cover because my iPhone battery drain so fast from 100% it will be maybe 60 % so fast that is so annoying.
    Long story short my iPhone is screwed up I think I don't trust my iPhone battery anymore.

  • My iPod was updating to iOS 6 and i shut it off during the update because it was taking too long and now my screen in baby blue i've tried to drain the battery but when i plugged it in to charge the blue screen came back on.I dont know what to do

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IOS 7 draining iPhone battery

    Is anyone else having difficulty since the new update. It is really draining my battery very quickly. The new colors are making it harder to see the icons.

    Can't do anything about the icons, I don't think they look all that bad. But the battery issue will go away in time. I have had so many battery issues on my ipad mini with a new update. http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/
    Use that for a fix, after that just use your idevices. It will get better. 6.1.2 after I updated to that my battery was so bad. I'm still on 6.1.2 because of every update Apple releases it for some weird reason messes with our battery's. now I get 14 hours from my ipad min, it was 8-9. But after using it and charing it, it got better. But I have a lot of stuff disabled. I use safari, games and messages.
    Sorry but I have to say this, everyone has seen ios 7 and the way it looks and operates. Correct? Why did you update if you didn't like how it looks? The UI is nothing like Android! If you don't like the new look of Apples ios....sell it!! Get a different phone! Or tablet! Stop crying about the way it looks! Apple thought this was the way people wanted it. You people make me sick! Your never happy with Apple. Apple did this wrong! Apple did that wrong! It's Android! It's Windows! Just shut mm  up! I'm deciding if I want to download it, but people like you have to hurry up and get it, and show your friends, so someone else doesn't like it so you don't like it. I'm waiting because I'm smarter. I don't need it right now because ios 6.1.2 is doing just fine. It's your fault! Not Apples!

  • Why Does My iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.0.1 Cause Rapid Battery Drain

    I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.0.1, and now the battery drains very rapidly---needs to be recharged after a few hours---and gets very warm. Before this, iOS 4.0 was fine (although slightly increased battery drain over 3.1.3).
    I use Exchange with push and had no issues before iOS 4.0.1. This may be the culprit now because when I turn off "push," the battery drain appears to be normal (although not extensively tested yet). But, I also have MobileMe, Yahoo!, and Google email accounts set up.
    Is this a new problem? Anyone else have this problem? How can this be fixed? Anyone have any ideas?

    *Reposting this..had done the same thing earlier as well*
    This is my observation from past 6 nights;
    All 6 nights, charged my iPhone to max and then kept it in sleep/stand by. Not even a single call or mail checked...(11 pm to 6:30 am when my alarm rings)
    1st & 2nd Nights, I had flight center, angry birds, twitter, facebook, mail, phone, sms, settings app open in the multi-tasking bar.
    Battery drained from 100% to 83%
    3rd and 4th nights, i had only twitter, facebook, mail, phone, sms
    Battery drained from 100% to 92%
    5th and 6th nights, I had nothing open
    Battery drained from 100% to 93%
    my mail is always in push enable setting to exchange and me account,
    location always on, bluetooth always off. 3G off
    I thought, the applications on multi tasking bar is actually not draining the battery, but looks like they are...might be a flaw in multi tasking api or may be from developer.
    I hope to get an easy way to kill the apps and not let it go to multi tasking bar.

  • IOS 4.2.1 iPhone 3G - battery drain / indicator problem

    Since past few days this iPhone has started behaving strangely. Battery indicator will show as low (red bar) even when it's been on charge. Power off and on and it will show full but then over course of about 15 minutes the indicator will drop down to below 20% (get the 20% warning dialog) then it seems to settle at just below that mark. power off and on and remains indicating low battery.
    Don't know how long it will last with that battery level as I am not the user of the phone.
    Not yet done a full reset / restore, this will be the next thing to try.
    Anyone know what might be causing this? Does it suggest that the battey is dying?

    You might try calibrating the meter by draining the battery down until the phone shuts off, then recharging fully. It should calibrate after two cycles. When you plug the phone in it might take a few minutes for the phone to come back on.
    Or, the battery could be getting weak or the charging circuit could be getting bad.

  • The new iOS 6 is draining my battery so fast I can't believe it. Any ideas?

    I can't believe how fast it's draining my battery. Seriously they have to fix this or let us downgrade. 4 s doesn't get 4 G like the i5 so we shouldn't have this bad of a battery drain. If I knew it was going to be this bad I never would of upgraded. Now I'm going to but the battery case but apple still has to do something about this. Anyone have any ideas or opinion on this?

    Totally agree. My battery last 2-3 hours, even after I turned off location services, location services, auto-brightness, and a million other things. APPLE, PLEASE COME OUT WITH A FIX SOOOOON or else I'm switching phones. I need a phone to last at least a DAY for emergencies, etc. PLEASE, we're begging you! Any other ideas? My iTunes on my phone also doesn't play my songs right away...it takes like a minute to load and play a single stinkin song! So lame

  • After update to ios 8.1.2, iPhone 6 battery suffers.

    Hi, after upgrading a few days ago to the latest IOS, my battery is draining out by the afternoon.
    Help!  Anyone else having this issue?

    also power cycle your battery let it fully drain to where your phone shuts off then fully charge it without using it.
    also you can check what app is draining your battery - settings - general - usage - battery usage.

  • HT5624 I don't want Icloud.  I believe it drains the battery of my phone.  How do I get the old operating system back on my new iphone 4G?

    I just got a new upgrade iphone from a 3G to 4G.  My son updated the software with Icloud.  I do not like it, it drains my battery.  How do I get the old operating system back (without icloud).  Also, I don't know how to close an APP anymore and I think that could be draining my battery as well.  It doesn't work the same way when I doubled click and then touch the APP it doesn't give me a dash to close it up again.

    Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
    As for icloud, go to   Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.
    As for battery drain... 
    Look through this...
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/
    Also, Settings>General>Background App Refresh:   turn off apps you don't want refreshing data - this can preserve battery life.
    Also try a reboot:  press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.
