IOS 5.1 ruining battery?

I've been having battery issues where my iphone 4s will not charge unless it is turned off and plugged in. Today i did a hard reset, and that seemed to fix all of my problems. Then I downloaded iOS 5.1, and now I'm back to where I was except this time hard reset doesnt do anything. Anyone else have this problem?

I don't

  • IPhone 5s IOS 8.1.1 battery drain using mail

    Problem: battery drain is unacceptably high with -1% per five minutes
    Description: after upgrading from IOS 7 to 8 the battery drain on my iPhone 5s (32GB) has hugely increased. Several tips on the internet have been tried from turning off several services to reinstalling the IOS none with no improvement. After reinstallation the drain was acceptable only to result in again a -1% drain per five minutes after a week.
    Expected: using IOS 7 I could easily use the iPhone throughout the whole day with -1% per fifteen minutes. After installing an improved IOS one would expect similar or lower battery drain
    Tests: as said, severals tips found on the internet have been tested none with any improvement. Deleting all accounts under "Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars" proved to be the only solution for this problem (a non-functional solution I must add since I'm using this iPhone for communication...). Even keeping the iCloud account but disabling all iCloud services did not improve the situation, only a real account deletion worked.
    Question: do you know how to get battery drain back to -1% per fifteen minutes whilst maintaining my iCloud and Exchange account using IOS 8.1.1 on an iPhone 5s (32GB)?
    Kind regards,
    Ronald

    Since upgrading my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.1, my battery has not been the same. I was able to get 9-10 hours of usage before and am lucky to get 6-7 hours. AppleCare thought that was on the low side and told me to visit my local Apple Store for a thorough diagnostic testing of the battery. My appointment is tomorrow. Will report back.

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported.  Basic troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device

  • Since iOS 7update my IPAD battery Is discharging very quickly what should i do

    Since iOS 7update my IPAD battery Is discharging very quickly what should i do.  This problem only occured since last iOS 7.0.2 update

    Poke around the settings. There's a lot of notifications turned on that you may not need. There's also the backgroun app refresh that will be using battery and the background updating of apps.
    So turn stuff off, if it doesn't help another thing that you can try is to go into the settings and reset all settings. Which is a bit of a pain because you'll need to retweak everything, but sometimes starting fresh can clear glitches

  • [Iphone 5] update to ios 6.0.1 - battery issue, fix please :(

    I have already turned off Siri, Location Services, Notifications
    After update to iOS 6.0.1, battery drain very quickly
    Something wrong with my phone?

    My recommendation having tried all the obvious is send the iPhone 5 back  to Apple -  Wait for Apple to fix the problems and then buy a new iPhone 5.
    I have been buying apple products for over 25 years, I never experienced such a fundamental problem.
    Battery drain: 100% to 40% in 4 hours - 100% to 10% 12 hours overnight on standby - with wi-fi off (installed with the same Apps as the 4s with lasted 3-4 days in general use.)
    Apple support are either very helpful, or totally dismissive... this morning I was offered "12 hours use is acceptable" as a final word from Apple Support.
    The phone is on its way back to Apple, and I'm happily back on my 4s
    This is the first and last time I break my purchasing rule when buying from Apple, 'never buy the first version of any Apple product - wait for them to get it right.

  • IOS 6 iPhone 4s battery

    when solution coming.....................

    My phone is almost brand new and the battery life with IO6 In one word *****!
    The apps are exactly the same as with IOS5.1.1 except for whatever apple did changed maps etc.  I'm fine with the changes.   Except the battery will NOT stayed charged.  Making my phone useless.
    I love my iPhone when it holds a charge.  I never had an issue with the IOS 5.1.1 battery life great!
    So KC7GNM consider yourself fortunate.

    Guide to Solving iOS Battery Drain http://iClarified.com/39722
    Please I cannot think of a better phone to use, and this is where apple will make or break me.

    Please be more specific. What have you tried already? Please follow the below steps as described also in another topic by Nathan.
    1. Hard reset hold both buttons until Apple logo appears.
    2. Restore from an iTunes sync and backup.  This made a difference for a lot of peopel, battery life got much better.
    3. Limit push notifications (apps and e-mail accounts - set e.g. e-mail to fetch once an hour) to those you really need.
    4. Limit location services to those you really need, and watch to see if the indicator comes up.
    5. Get the app System Activity Monitor to look for a runaway process that is using a lot of CPU.
    6. Suggestion by others to reset all settings.
    7. Suggestion by others that iCloud may be involved, and to try to turn off some iCloud settings.
    8. Limit or turn off 'background app refresh'.
    9. Add apps back in carefully to identify an offending app that is causing CPU or network activity that kills battery life.
    10 Also make sure that e-mail is fetched (e.g. every hour) or set to manual instead of pushed.
    11 Do you have a good carrier reception? Have you tried to manual set your carrier within your iPhone instead of the 'automatic'?
    12 Have you checked if the timezone is set to manual instead of automatic and see if this makes a difference in battery use?
    In my case it was a bug with an app that caused the battery drain. I also noticed that the use and stand-by time were exactly the same which is ofcourse not correct. This was all caused by this app which was using GPS tracking all the time. Unfortunately an app such as System Activity Monitor did not indicate that in my case but someone posted this solution on a Dutch forum that the previous version of the app 'Scoupy' had a bug and caused this battery drain.
    If you haven't tried every single one of these, please do not post that battery life is terrible.

  • IOS 8.1 massive battery issue

    Since I've been updating my 5s with latest 8.1, my 5s now facing a battery drainage problem!! Massive! I've been charged full 100% battery and with only 1 hour while playing slight wechat only, it draining like **** until 70%.. And heating like oven!! This never happen before! Even before i've been playing with heavy use of wechat, beetalk, games and video, it still remain 84%.. Now it's draining like water leaking.... iOS 7 is always better 1001% compare to iOS 8.. There is always a new problems!! U guys solved 10 problems/bugs, but again u guys will create 2 to 3 new problems!! What's wrong with Apple nowaday?! Think about to moving on to Samsung!

    I'm also seeing something like this. I believe I may have isolated one issue that Apple have verbally acknowledged: Re: Did iOS8.1 fixed the battery draining and heating problem with iPhone 5s?
    However i wonder if it's more general. Just a few hours browsing on my phone with very little running in the background uses a lot of battery. I go to use settings and it tells me that Safari has used 45% of th battery in a few hours. This never happened on ios7.
    After each release of iOS there is usually a load of people moaning about battery life who don't understand the options of how their phone works but it does feel like there is a genuine issue here. A lot of the noise seems to be coming from iPhone5S owners, I wonder if the more General wifi issues are causing problems elsewhere......
    i Don't suspect it will be that long before we see a patch.

  • IOS 8.1.3 - Battery draining very quickly

    Since installing iOS 8.1.3 on my iPhone 6 the battery has started to drain very quickly with little to no use. Anybody else having the same problem

    I too was having some serious battery drain on IOS 8.1.3 on my iPhone 5S. The phone kept getting warm (like I was using maps navigation) I think I just fixed it.  On the hunch that it had to be something with location services I went to the following location in my phones settings: Settings->Privacy->Location Services now scroll all the way down and Click System Services. Disable Cell Network Search, Setting Time Zone, and Wifi Networking. You can also try disabling these one at a time. I really don't need these services so I disabled them all.
    Your phone should now cool down and hold a charge like it did before, mine does. Here are what those settings you are disabling do:
    Cell Network Search:This tracks cell tower usage and congestion, and sends the data back to Apple for analysis as to what towers are being used the most, how you move between cell towers, and which ones are overused. It does not help your phone locate a cell tower. Turning this off will not affect your phone’s performance, according to Apple.
    Setting Time Zone:Your time zone will be instantly adjusted according to your geographic location. Ever notice how as soon as you turn on your phone after a long flight, it displays the local time perfectly, even before getting cell signal? It’s this setting. If you turn it off, you’ll lose that functionality.
    Wi-Fi Networking:This particular setting is interesting, and requires some explanation. As you move around a city, your iPhone is constantly picking up WiFi signals. It geotags that data (“XYZ WiFi is at this GPS location”), encrypts it so that it is anonymous and unique (otherwise the data would look like all hotspots are named “linksys”), and stores it as what Apple calls “crowdsourced Wi-Fi Hotspot locations”. Next time someone walks by that exact hotspot, their iPhone will know where they are without using GPS – because you basically already “marked” the area. Shutting this setting off will stop that info from being sent to Apple. It will not affect your phone’s performance.

  • Possible solution to iOS 7.0.3 battery drain issue (iPhone 5).

    Not a question as such, but for anyone who's having battery drain issues on iOS 7.0.3 and doesn't want to attempt upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 revision yet...
    I was having some problems with battery drain with my iPhone 5 since updating to 7.0.3. The device is only about 5 weeks old so I was quite annoyed that I had issues with it.
    This morning after a full charge I did a hard reset. Now the problem seems to have gone. I've had the phone on for several hours (about 4.5hrs) and it's only just dropped to 99% moments ago. This is a massive improvement (on even the battery life of the device when I got it, and it had 6.1.3 factory installed).
    I hope that this helps anyone who doesn't want to risk 7.0.4 until it's had a chance to cool off and for people to identify/resolve any issues (as I am waiting too).

    The update isn't the problem. It was a problem with your update process. millions of others have updated without any issue at all.
    Also resetting has been discussed many times in the never ending battery draining threads.

  • One User's Story: iOS 7.1 and Battery Life on iPhone 5

    I've been reading the messages from folks that have experienced shorter battery life after upgrading to iOS 7.1. It does appear that there is a real problem with some iPhone 5S models. Some of those users are reporting a shorter battery life along with warm iPhones (when the iPhones weren't doing anything) and repeatedly "coming to life" with the lockscreen slider multiple times after being put asleep.
    In my case, the day after upgrading to iOS 7.1 I noticed that my iPhone 5 (not 5S) went from about 90% battery to 55% battery overnight--with no apps open. And since iOS 7, I've disabled background app updates, disabled location services for all but about 4 apps, disabled motion, etc. I also tend to never leave any apps open when I'm done for the day. Anyway, during the second night, my phone went from 40% to about 35%. I suspected that iOS 7.1 may have affected the battery calibration but perhaps not the actual life between charges.
    I then turned on the phone, set it to not sleep, and let it completely use up the battery charge and to turn itself off. It took a very long time--more evidence of a calibration issue. I then completely charged the phone. Since then, it appears that not only is the battery calibration correct again, but the actual battery life might be a little longer after iOS 7.1. I'm now seeing about an 8% to 10% drop in battery charge overnight which is what I had before iOS 7.1.
    I'm not saying that users who are reporting decreased battery life are wrong. I can only report my own experience.

    I love all the Tips out there to save Battery life, turn this off turn this down when the bottom line is you shouldnt have to turn anything off or down because those things are why you bought an Apple iPhone, how about Apple fixes there crap right the 1st time instead of ripping us off,
    And another thing Apple should reveal there iPhone 6 on what the heck there going to release , whats with all this bullcrap all the time that its a big secret....
    Im really getting sick of this Company...
