IOS 7.0.6 sound, powering down, and battery drain issues
Since updating my 4s to iOS 7.0.6 I'm having trouble with my sound. While I'm trying to watch YouTube videos or Netflix, one minute it will be ok then the next it will just go silent. It's almost like it thinks there are headphones in the jack but there aren't and when it does this I can't even turn the volume up or down. I've tried everything I can think of... Hard reset, killing the apps, searched in the settings, ect. I don't know what to do and it starting to really irritate the living **** out of me because it never did this before the 7.0.6 update. Also since the update I installed I've been having serious issues with my battery draining at a very rapid rate and this too I've killed all the apps running in the background, lowered the brightness, and all other battery stuff I can think of. AND on top of all of that since this new ******** update I can't even turn my phone off! I slide it to power off and it acts like its going to shut down like normally, the screen goes black and all looks good and then wouldn't you know it the apple logo pops back up about 3 seconds later with out even touching the phone.......... SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
I have an an iPad air and I updated it to IOS 7.0.6
- no battery draining issues
- no overheating
IOS 7.0.6 does not brick any device.

Iphone 4 from sprint and battery drain issues
how many people out there bought a new iphone 4 from sprint and having the rapid battery drain issues? there is a big thread on the 4s but not as much on the 4 and im trying to decide if its best to just exchange it or try more fixes.
I have the same issue. I am with sprint. The battery goes down in 6 hours, mostly in standby and some emails. I can actualy see the battery meter going down every 30 sec when reading my mails. iCloud is disabled as also push notification. The phone gets also hot. This issue is completely stupid and remember, I had iPhones for the last 3 years. My last one was the 4. It is first time I have such a problem. My friends that have the 4S with AT&T do not have that problem. As a mater of fact, I compared today and mine goes down 50% faster. I will have to return it and switch to another provider.

Hi,
How can I Test my iPad WiFi & battery? is there a hardware test?
A real easy test...
Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge. -
IPhone 5S Getting Heated and Battery Drain issue
From Past 2 Days , my iPhone is been getting heated and the battery drain is 1% per minute.
Earlier When i used to put it on standby it used to be only a drop by 1-2 % through out night. Now it has gone down to -35% to 40% drain.
I have tried
-Resetting all settings
- Restoring to fresh new iPhone
-let my battery down to 0 and then charge it to 100% again
But Nothing Helped, i am out of the country for work and i visit an apple store here.
Any Suggestions, How do i Fix it?I have a VERY similar issue to extremecoder...
Iphone 5s 16gb (purchased from Apple Online U.K. on 8th December 2013) was fine until the last two days onwards. I am now getting incredibly quick battery drain. The image is a screenshot taken this morning. Phone was charged to 100% last night and used for an hour or so, with battery level on 50%. I then switched off overnight as I always do.
Turned it back on again this morning and was at 48%!
Now look at it. Do I have a case here for a replacement phone?
P.S. Location services, bluetooth etc all off as they always are. Nothing has changed at all in my usage habits with the phone. -
Recently, I can't get any sound from my game applications. Sound works fine with video, streaming, etc, but not my game applications. I've tried powering down and re-booting, but the sound does not return. Can anyone help me?
Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 -
Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps. As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone. Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem. Specifically, when I double-click the start button, my open app icons display. But when I hold my finger on an icon, the apps do not wiggle and display an "x" to close. Any advice... thanks?!
Double tap the Home button, then swop upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the Home button again when done to return to normal screen.

I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?
Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
Anyone help you with your fix yet? -
My iphone sometimes rings and sometimes goes to VM. I have tried powering down and still having problem

First, a comment: this process ***** because I am typing my question in various screens for the fifth time.
QUESTION:
My phone keeps looping, powering up and powering down and continues the process. I do not want to restore my phone where it will cause my pictures and video to be lost.Is your device jailbroken? Have you backed up your device recently?

Data usage and battery drain has skyrocketed with iOS 8.1.2 (maybe earlier)
3 weeks ago my wife got a text message on her iPhone 5 from AT&T that she had used 90% of her data for the month. 30 seconds later, she got another one saying that she had used 100%. Granted, her data plan is small, 200 MB. But, for the last two years she has used as little as 17 MB in a month and her largest prior to this latest month was 49 mb. This month she got to 380 mb before we were able to shut off her cell data. Otherwise, a second chunk of 200 MB and another $15 would have been added to the month.
We had noticed that her battery had been draining rather rapidly in standby mode with no background apps running when she didn't have access to WiFi. We have now correlated the two results, High Cell data usage, Quick battery drain and very warm phone. In case anyone is wondering about her iPhone 5 being one in the recall, it is. I took it in and had it tested. Apple says the battery is fine. It does hold a charge well. When all network communications are shut down on her phone and it is in standby mode, there is no noticeable loss of charge in 24 hours (our longest test).
Since I have a grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan with AT&T, I have been doing some testing on my iPhone 5s. Sure enough, I've seen similar results. With nearly everything turned off except Cell Data, I've seen 483 MB used in 24 hours. Of that total, 479 MB was used for Documents & Sync. I even have everything turned off in my iCloud account, Location services are turned off, no push notifications etc...
The best I can figure, this has been a problem since we installed 8.1.2 and yesterday I installed 8.1.3 resulting in no positive effect on this issue.
At this rate of data usage and no access to WiFi, my wife would have to have a 15 Gb data plan to keep from exceeding her limit. I don't think AT&T even offers one that big anymore. I might have to switch to Sprint or T-Mobile if this doesn't get resolved.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your shared insights.Hey this is Brian, bjmcmurry, under a different user ID. If I logged in as bmcmurry, original post, I was just getting a server error and couldn't get to this discussion nor post a comment anywhere.
Anyway, let me be as brief as I can. After an extensive analysis of replicating the problem on another phone to eliminate it being a hardware specific issue and that the test phone has an unlimited data plan, I was able to stop the excessive data usage and consequential battery drain. I believe I have a reasonable explanation of the problem, an iOS logic bug.
I had everything under my control clamped down on the test phone to minimize data usage. Also, I was forcing all data usage to use the cell towers. I determined that I was burning at least 11 to 13 Mb per hour doing nothing important. I literally had everything turned off except 'Settings' was allowed to use Cell data providing a avenue to log into the Apple ID.
The two phones had 2 things in common, they were using the same Apple ID and the same version of the OS. One was a iPhone 5 and the other was a 5s.
Here is a synopsis of my experience via my written evaluation of the Apple support system (Apple Rep name's have been removed):
After a couple of hours on the phone with an Apple Care Senior support Analyst, it was suggested that I go to the Apple Store to 1) get my battery replace in the iPhone 5 since it qualified for the replacement program and 2) see if the Genius could provide me with any insight in the data usage issue and battery drain.
I'm certainly glad I had multiple reasons to visit the closest Apple store, a 45 min drive. I got the battery replaced, thanks for that.
Regarding the important issue to me that brought me to the Genius Bar, excessive Cell data usage, I thought the Genius did a wonderful job listening and documenting the problem we were experiencing. Unfortunately, educating us on the use of the product or replacing our phone was not going to solve the problem. He eventually figured it out, this was not a user error or broken hardware. We surmised that the reason I was sent to him was to verify and document that there was a problem. I clearly had a problem. After writing copious notes on the issue, The Genius smartly referred me back the the AppleCare Senior Advisor. So, back to AppleCare Senior Analyst I went. She, knowing this was not a simple problem to solve i.e. beyond her level of expertise, got an Apple Software engineer involved.
My primary frustration is that this should have been escalated to software engineering right away. My trip to see the Genius was, I believe, a waste of time for both me and Apple regarding this issue. Diagnosis of this type of problem is well beyond the Genius’ knowledge and job. The Genius did a very good job doing what he could within the scope of his job. He just couldn’t solve this problem and had no one within Apple to which he had access for help.
However, that initial consult with the engineer was a bit feeble. Not only could I not talk to him/her directly, his/her focus was still working with the ‘Black Box' approach. Having Analyst ask me to do stuff like restore the Phone was more like trying to find a 'work around' than 'identifying the real problem.' Maybe restoring the phone was going to fix some corrupted data on the phone sidesteping the real problem, the handling of this condition. The engineer did listen to the fact that I had restored the test phone, the 5s, and only added the use of my Apple ID. Duh, been there!!!
Having been an previous owner of a software development company that I started in 1980 and retired in 2001, I can tell you that using the 'Black Box' method of debugging is extremely inefficient. Instead, having access to an ‘Activity Manager’ type app to identify in real time what process was blowing up the data flow would have saved me a lost afternoon at the Apple store and hours on the phone with tech support.
Ironically, I may have stumbled onto a "work around" solution short of turning off Cell Data that stopped the excessive Cell Data usage and consequential battery drain. Just prior to leaving the Apple Store, I used one of their Macs to log in my Apple ID on the id.apple.com website to ‘Manage my Apple ID’, I was forced to upgrade the security level of my password. Afterward, my cell data usage seemed to drop dramatically.
I told the AppleCare Senior Analyst that I may have stumbled onto a workaround and I suggested that I give it a couple of days of monitoring. We'd talk then and I would have results to report. She agreed.
Sure enough, my Document & Sync usage was back to normal, about 1/2 Mb per day. Am I happy that the excessive Cell Data usage has stopped? You bet! But, there was no intuitive reason that an end user would know to log in on the ID website to unknowingly solve this problem. As I use to say to my employees, that is not the ‘Macintosh Way.’ And, rebooting the the 'Microsoft Way.'
When I reported my findings to the Analyst, we both concluded that data usage was back to normal. She did report to me that the engineer did provide a laundry list of suggested activities to help solve the problem. Remarkably, they were everything that I had already done and were pretty much what the Analyst and the Genius tried to do. All reasonable tasks. But clearly, the engineer hadn't even ready the notes on the case before responding. And, none of the things suggested would have uncovered the real problem, likely a logic bug in iOS.
My advice now is to have the software engineering team rule out that there was an unresolvable state that a background process was fiercely trying to handle. The iOS does not seem to know how to intervene and prompt the user with a requirement to upgrade their password. If this does end up being the case, I would call it a logic bug, a perpetual exception that is not being handled properly.
Anyway, I hope this helps you. -

Iphone 4s IOS 7.0.4 update battery drain issues
I hope this gets to apple in regards to the issue of the battery drain. I have been following several discussions for the past couple of weeks and everyone seems to have some type of idea on what the problem is. I'm not a service tech or gadget know all, but I have been performing several "Nonscientific" test to see what is draining my battery.
I have a 4s that has always had good battery life. It seemed to run consistent to what was detailed in the product specs. I would only need to charge it every other day on limited use or the next day with heavy use. After updating to the latest update (IOS 7.0.4), the battery would drain in less than a day on limited use which is a couple of text, couple of email checks, 3 to 4 phone calls at less than 10 minutes each - no internet searches or game play.
So, after reading everyones suggestions in the forums and trying them, the battery still drained just as fast, if not faster. I read a post somewhere regarding “Bluetooth” constantly searching. So, I saw mine was doing the same. Someone replied to that person that it should not be the issue, as it does not use much power to run its task. (I found they were wrong)
Here is my nonscientific test, but a good one. (for the record I had nothing on in the notification center, Do not disturb off, only thing on in Privacy - location services was google maps, Siri, Yelp, and Find my phone; iCcloud was off; background app refreash was off; email fetch data was off; everything else was off)
Day 1 - I fully charged my phone several hours, I unplugged it at night before going to bed, did a hard reset to make sure every app was off, and only opened the settings app and made sure the Bluetooth was onand searching. I checked my phone 6 hours later and saw the battery drained from 100% to 56% with no usage other than just being on and in sleep mode. That would mean it drained at 7.3333 % an hour. Some would say that acceptable. - Its not when there is no usage. The battery would die in 13 hours with no usage.
Day 2 - I repeated the test (as above), but turned off the bluetooth. I checked my phone 6 hours later and saw the battery did not drain at all. I started with a 100% and battery was still at a 100% with no usage other than just being on and in sleep mode. I opened a couple of apps and closed them to prevent them from running in the back ground and noticed I lost about 2% of charge after usinging it checking an app or 2. I put it back to sleep mode and checked it again in an hour and saw it only drained 3% down to 97%. Very acceptible.
Day 3 - I repeated the test, but during regular day hours with limited use of the phone (with bluetooth off). I was back to getting close to a normal battery drain I was experiencing prior to the update. I know that IOS 7.0.4 uses a little more battery power to run as it has different features and abilities, so the battery drain was not like it was before, but a lot better.
So, my experiment concluded to me that the new update is causing the bluetooth searching to run in the back ground continuously and causing the battery to drain unacceptably fast on my phone. This is a program issue that can be fixed by Apple. I find it unacceptable to have to control my bluetooth manually, as I never had to do it before and I shouldn't have to do it now. I hope Apple will fix it soon. I‘ve been a apple product person for years, and enjoy the products, but lately they have been not been satisfactory in the phone business. I have been playing with a samsung galaxy thats looking very promising, if apple doesn’t fix the issue everyone is having, they will loose business to competitors.
Please fix the issue!Hi Folks,
iPhone & iPad2 battery drain issue SOLVED!!!!!
I had a serious battery drain problem on THREE devices using different iOS .... it was a simple fix and had certain characteristics that you may be able to relate to ......
Devices; 16GB iPhone 4 with IOS6
16GB iPhone 4S with iOS7.06
32G iPad2 with iOS7.04
On or about Feb. 28th all three devices started to drain the battery like crazy losing about 20%/hour on the iPhones and 10%/hour on the iPad2 .... After messing around with settings, browsing forums and looking at what was common between the three devices I concluded the problem was with a single Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail email account in the iOS native mail app .... I deleted the email account on all three devices (along with other unrelated Microsoft accounts on each device) and did a hard reboot (hold HOME and top LOCK button simultaniously for about 10 seconds until the apple logo appeared).
I then re-created the common Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail account on all three devices in the iOS native mail app ...... SUCCESS! Now all three devices are behaving normaly with respect to battery drain ......
Hopefully this will be useful to others in this thread .......... -
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. -
IPhone 5 Continued Problems - Unable to Sync and Battery Drain
It seems that my iPhone 5 went to crap after the last iOS 6.1.2 update.
Battery life took a turn for the worse. No consistency in usage and standby time and battery drain.
But now, for some reason and I don't know if it's iTunes, I have been unable to sync and back-up for two weeks now. After going through all the syncing steps, all 7, it kicks back and error message: "iTunes could not back up the iPhone "My Name" because an error occurred."
No error code. Nothing.
Any ideas what I can do to fix it?I got a new iPhone 5 about 3 weeks ago. I notice that from time to time in my pocket it heats up high enough I can feel it trough the material, but not as to burn. I read in a post in this fuorum that this hapened for some iPhones after they updated to the new IOS either when is recharging or some blame it on heavy gaming. Mine was not recharging and no game apps open, just the usual iTunes, Messages and phone as usual when I carry it. It happens about every other day, I can feel it through my pocket and soeme times when I am holding it it is quite hot. After a couple of minutes it seem to cool off again. it just does not seem right. (Im posteing in different discussion to see where I get an answer before taking it to the geniuses )
PS: Dave049 I'll try your suggestion and try re-adjusting the SIM card . if it works I let you all know. thaks for the idea
