IOS 7 consumes battery power faster?

Hi
It seems like the battery power drain quickly since I changed to iOS 7. I can go to sleep with about 80% battery and when I get to the office it will be around 40%. on iOS 6 I use to loose about 10%-20% power in that 10 hours standby span.
anyone else feels iOS7 uses more battery power?
Cheers

And the wide reports are, like most Internet garbage, wrong. Every time there's an update any problem is assumed to be solely due to that update, with no basis in fact. Try these threads, for example:

  • Is it normal if an 5th generation iPod Touch consumes battery power very fast?

    See, I bought a blue iPod Touch about October in 2012.  But then, the battery gets consumed VERY, VERY, VERY FAST!  Within 30 minutes, at least half of the battery power gets drained.  When i'm charging, it charges fast.  PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

    To bobjbkln,
         Thank you! I went to Apple today and I ask them if its normal, so then they said that they had a lot of problems like this.  He told me a solution which was to first go to Settings, then General, then Reset, then he said to '' Reset All Settings ''.  After that, he told me to use all the battery until the iPod completely shuts off.  Next, he said to charge the battery ALL the way and that should work.  They didn't change or give me a replacement of my iPod.

  • My iphone 5, with iOS 7.0.2, is heating and consuming the battery very fast when 3G is on, even when I'm not using it. Any solution?

    My iphone 5, with iOS 7.0.2, is heating and consuming the battery very fast when 3G is on, even when I'm not using it. Any solution?

    iOS 7 has many multiple tasks. You can save battery life to some extent by few steps. First go to location services and bettr 'Off' them which are not needed. (Ex. Notes.. Reminders.. Etc). Also you can off few apps in 'get notifications' centre. Also usage of 3g by any mobile consumes much battery life. Better to connect any Wi-fi

  • Macbook works very slow and consumes a lot of battery power when closed

    Hi@all
    I hope someone of you can help me. My Mac crashed yesterday. I got a warning saying "there was a problem, your Mac will reboot" (I didn't get the exact words because it vanished quite fast and the MacBook rebooted itself). Since then my Mac is working very slow and freezes every few minutes. I looked at the CPU usage but this is always under 25% so there shouldn't be a programm that causes this problem.
    In addition:
    When I close it, it seems to go to sleep mode normally but is still consuming quite high amounts of battery power and get's warm. When I work with it the temperature stays normal.
    I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2012) with 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 running with Mavericks.
    It would be great if someone has an idea what could cause this kind of problems.
    Thanks a lot in advance for your suggestions :-)

    sternblume,
    for the high energy consumption in sleep mode, you could try resetting its System Management Controller.
    For the slow working and freezing, you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode.

  • HT201412 Battery drain - iPhone is draining power fast

    My iphone 5 is losing power fast - battery is draining. Haven't experienced this before. I've followed some basic steps to try and conserve powers within the settings features, but still drains fast. Concerned the battery may need to be replaced. Anyone else have this option - have any recommendations or trouble-shooting?
    thanks

    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 ..........

  • Ios 7 battery drain - using faster than charging now

    Anyone else have issues getting a full charge on iPhone 4S after updating to ios 7.0?
    It's draining noticable faster - battery drains faster than it charges now so that unless you turn off the screen you end up with less charge than when you docked it. Same goes for regular 30 pin cable to 1Amp wall charger without the dock.
    I left mine over night on the iPhone dock and it still only reached 92%
    Never had issues on ios 6.
    Even with the screen dimmed back to 50% (like I had it set for ios 6),
    Battery was at 45% before updated yesterday and even though it was docked and charging during update was at 36% after the update, and kept dropping the longer I had it connected.
    Does anyone know for sure if ios 7 is using the A5 cpu differently? maybe running it faster or using more power than on ios 6?
    Rebooted my iPhone 4S a few times after updating, nosame issue. Was able to use Safari but unable to download from itunes or app store. They asked or my password, but it said "could not connect to app store, please try again". perhaps due to so many users updating yesterday
    Then after opening a few apps (ebay, amazon) battery meter jumped to 100%
    I do have DND enabled for notice center. update retained that preference and my screen lock code.
    I noticed that even though screen lock timeout was set for 2 mins, it was prompting for code immediately. Had to change to 5 mins, since the 2 minute to lock option has been removed in ios 7.
    Thanks,
    JJ

  • IPhone 5s battery drain fast with iOS 8.1.2

    I have iPhone 5s from 1 year. After updating to 8.1.2 battery draining fast. I needs charge the battery 3-4 times a day. I did the restore as new, but no change. Stopping the apps does not help. Please for advice.

    I have also experienced this, but I think I have started to narrow things down. First of all, I am on an iPhone 5S 32gb, and I did NOT have any of these battery issues under 8.1.1, but since upgrading, the battery drains more quickly for sure.
    What I have noticed, however, is that there are some strange correlations going on with what appears to be ridiculously severe battery drain - my phone will show 50% battery, and minutes later (of normal use, taking photos, screen at about 50% brightness, no overt internet or GPS activity) it will suddenly shut down completely. This seems to happen most WHEN IT IS COLD and I am using it outside.
    When I try to turn it back on right after, I get the "plug me in" screen, as one would expect with a dead phone. However, if I wait a few minutes and let the phone warm up a bit, I hold down the power switch and on it comes, and when it comes on, the battery indicator will show 50% battery life again. I think of this as my FALSE BATTERY DRAIN problem, possibly unrelated to the actual battery life. I have only noticed this happening while running the Camera or Safari apps. Looking at my usage doesn't seem to turn up any surprises.
    So Apple... what the heck is going on here? Is this an OS problem, is it an issue with your apps, with app conflicts... what is going on?
    This is unacceptable. You know after being an Apple user for 35 years now I am not going to switch to Android lightly, but this is pushing me that way, and it is certainly going to keep me from updating to a newer, shinier phone until you show some commitment to supporting your users, who seem to be experiencing battery issues rather frequently these days.
    Please at least show some INTEREST in being involved in this solution... I'm not seeing any indications of effort to fix this.
    Thank you.

  • Safari in ios 7.1 drains battery very fast are you aware of this problem

    Today when I use safari browser for this message the battery drains so fast but if I use uc browser it is not draining  the battery so fast what is the problem in safari

    Do a clean installation. This OTA update is just a little patch compared to the 1.X gb update, there must be something. It is convinient, but there is nothing better than a clean installation. It is a pain because you have to back up your files and delete everything, but it is the only way to have good battery life. I was being lazy until I decided to do it and now my iphone 5 running ios 7.1 has better battery life than before, it was also getting very hot.

  • HT4623 I updated ios6.1.2 on my ipad2 and it is draining my battery very fast. How do I go back to 6.1.1 ios

    I Updatedios6.1.2 on my ipad2. It is draining battery very fast. How do I fix it ? Can I go back to old version of ios6.1.1 if yes how?

    Honestly this is the final nail in the coffin. Mine too has terrible battery life since the 6.1.2 update.
    What the **** has happened apple. .? You have totally ruined iOS 6 its been a shambles since day one!
    I have tried every suggestion so far and it's just the same.
    But that's it now. My ipad is goin up on ebay and I'm looking at other tablets. I haven't had one issue with my nexus 4 since I went from iPhone 4 to that. Infant the updates have made that better not worse!!

  • Re: Battery Drains Faster in iOS 5 ?

    Hello,
    I have marked that Battery drain faster if using apps in iOS 5 then the previous version, but the idle time is better in iOS 5.
    In my case after fully charged, my phone show 100%  if its in idle mode for 7 hours, but as soon as i start some apps the battery drains faster, like if i use the apps for 15 min the battery remains at 80%.
    Have anybody experience this ?

    @dimoff: I didn't experience the same thing with other mobiles, even of Nokia. I have Lumia 525, Moto G(Dual Sim). My wifi is always on and i use the phone without any problem for 1.5 days.
    But where as Lumia 630, without any phone calls, only idel phone it could stand only for 1 day.
    On the contrary what i have experienced is when i use 3G, battery is consulmed more tha wifi.

  • IPhone 5 s, software iOS 7.1.1 BATTERY POWER

    Since updating my phone just a few days ago, my battery power has been dropping dramatically. I've been to two apple stores in Sydney to try to rectify this, yet been unsuccessful. My battery is dropping 10% every hour on standby.
    We have turned off location services, background apps refresh, wifi, cellular data, everything that would suck up the battery power.
    I didn't have this issue with the iPhone 4, and now I'm really cheesed off.
    Highly considering using a home phone landline attached to nothing will be more useful than the iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1
    Am I suppose to carry a power cable and spare back up battery devices everywhere I go?

    welcome to the club
    a solution of the problem does not exist unfortunately. all tips expressed here do not or only partially work.
