IOS 5.1 update drains battery iPhone 4s?!

I updated my iPhone 4s 32gb from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.1 a couple days ago. Before I updated it l would usually have around 50% of battery left by the end of the day (fully charged in the morning). After I updated to iOS 5.1 my battery gets hotter than usual when I would use the phone and the battery would be dead by 9pm (fully charged in the morning). If it was only one day then I'd attribute it to chance but it has occured every day since the update! I've disabled wifi and all that fun stuff to try to preserve battery life but it still doesn't help. Any fixes or suggestions?

iPhone 4S has supported HSPA+, and the update just updated the indicator to show whether you are using 4G or 3G.

  • IOS 5.01 update draining battery on iPhone 4

    I have an iPhone 4 and ran the update to iOS 5 on Saturday. I regret doing this now. Before the update I had great battery life. But since Saturday my battery needs to be charged multiple times in a day through normal use. In 1.5 hours of unplugging my iPhone from the charger, my battery drained to 88%. In the last 10 minutes it took to log in & post a couple comments, my battery has now drained to 83%! In 10 minutes!! That is an embarrassment guys. Please fix this ASAP!

    I had both the synching "waiting to copy problem" and ios 5.01 battery problem. Eg: phone was at 100% at 11pm by morning it was stone dead.  Both issues are resoluved now.
    1:  "Wainting to sync" issues was resolved by upgrading iTunes to 5.01 (windows 7 64 bit)
    2: Battery problem was resolved by backing up my phone and finally seeing it complete fully.  Then resetting the phone to factory and restoring the phone from backup
    In the middle of the restore I had a time out error, I unplugged the phone, restarted itunes, started the restore again and now everything seems fine.
    The phone has been at 100% for over an hour now.
    I hope this helps.

  • TS3694 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.

  • Has anyone noticed a massive battery drain problem after the iOS 6.1 update on the iPhone 4s?

    I updated my iPhone 4s last night with iOS 6.1 update.  This morning, the battery percentage has been falling at an alarming rate while in standby, and the phone seems to be heating up and staying at an elevated temperature while in standby.  Has anyone else noticed this?  This only started once I did the update.  Any solutions?

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red  to delete apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • IOS 8.3 is draining my iPhone 6 Plus battery life. how to downgrade to iOS 8.2?

    I never changed my mobile phone using habits. All that changed recently is my iPhone 6 Plus getting an iOS 8.3 update. I noticed my battery life draining quicker than the usual. It used to still have enough juice to last me until midnight, now by lunch time i am already at 63%!
    Anyone experiencing this?
    Know the proper legitimate way to downgrade from iOS 8.3 to 8.2? Prefer to have longer battery life than have this updated 8.3 in my phone. I don't feel the benefits of the upgrade to begin with.

    The rate of battery loss is still slowly accelerating. At this rate I expect less than 8 hours usage time.
    I wrote a review of my new iPhone 6 Plus here and brought up the issue:

    If anybody has any ideas, or comparative battery life results, please let me know.
    Thanks,

  • IOS 5.1 Update suddenly morphed iPhone 4s into 4G??

    Ok, what is up with the 4G icon?  I have an iPhone 4s 64GB, and after iOS 5.1 update, the 3G icon is now 4G.  Is this an error that has somehow cropped up, or is this a nice easter egg from Apple .....Surprise, you now have 4G?  Ha Ha, Not likely!
    Has anyone else had this issue?  My wife has an iPhone 4 32GB and her's is still 3G.
    It doesnt affect anything, calls ok and all functions work.  Just interesting.
    On a side note, Summary screen in iTunes after iOS 5.1 update lists Phone Number as n/a????   But like I said, the phone works fine.
    Thanx for taking a look!
    Later

  • HT4623 trying to download ios 6 software update to my iphone 4s. While it is downloading it suddenly pauses and knocks me out of my wi-fi network. I then can't access the network in order to continue the download.

    I have a iphone 4s.
    I was trying to download ios 6 software update.
    Put in a wifi network and plugged in before starting download.
    Soon after I hit download it paused and said to choose wifi network before continuing.
    It had knocked out my wifi connection.
    When I turn the wifi back on and ask it to choose a network it can't find it anymore.
    Meanwhile I can't get it to continue to download the ios 6 update.

    Instead of trying to update OTA connect your phone to your computer with USB abd have the latest itunes open and do it that way. If it says you are not connected click cancel and see if the download continues.  iOS 6.1.3 is now the latest so that is what you will be updating to

  • 7.1 update drains battery on iPhone 4, can I revert to previous version?

    Ever since I updated to IOS 7.1 (I can't find the version number on the iPhone itself) like many users, my battery no longer lasts 3 days, but drains at about 3%/minute, even with all the apps and location services switched off. Can I revert to the previous version please? And, if so, how? Thank you for allowing me to use the phone without switching the entire phone off 99% of the time! Thank you for any assistance that you can give me on this very frustrating problem, over which Apple is sure to lose customers!

    yes there is a way. i figured it out a few days ago. first download the firmware 4.0 from a site. then go into itunes with your phone plugged in AND ON (do NOT put in recovery mode).. hit shift, update. find the 4.0 firmware you just downloaded. it will take a minute but you will downgrade right back down to 4.0. when it completes, a screen should pop up saying there is a new update available (4.0.1) & asking if you want to update. CLICK CANCEL. then you're done! if you want to make sure it worked, go to your phone--go to settings-about-software. it should say 4.0. hope i helped

  • Anyone else had the latest Viber update drain their iphone 4 battery?

    it goes down in a few hours with the latest viber update and behaves normally when Viber is deleted.  Any one else had this problem or know anything about it?  VIber appears to be crashing when I look at the usage log.

    Not on the iPhone I haven't. But on my iPad 2 I'm having the same issues you're having.
    Giving apple a week to give us info, if they tell us nothing about a patch, I'm selling all my apple stuff on eBay in a heart beat and going Andriod.

  • HT4528 iOS 6.1 is draining my iPhone 5 battery within 6 hours. My battery life was never that great with iOS 6.0 but I would get at least 12 hours.

    Is there a way to downgrade to iOS 6.0 or 5?
