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.

[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 7.0.4 battery issue on my 4s

I normally don't post,
I can't help but voice my frustration.
My wife and I have the same type iphone, 4s
I always update before she does.
Recently updated my iphone 4s to iOS 7.0.4 around Nov. 22,
Since my update I've had a problem getting through the day (under minimal use) after a full charge overnight.
It may be coincidence but I doubt it, since my wife's phone is working just fine the same as always (even with iOS 7.0.3).
Reading all the problems others have had that are similar to mine, i think this is a sign that apple has lost its way.
I have read (and attempted) various methods to save battery via adjusting settings and resets, but seriously?
My iphone should not become a paper weight just because I update the os!
I will have a hard time convincing myself to buy any more apple products in the future.
-I miss Steve Jobs

I did a complete reset, but then I restored from last back up file.
Even after I did all that there was no significant difference.
At this point I figured it was not the OS causing my severe battery drain.
Then I decided to wipe out all of my apps, and start with only the default apps.
After I did this I noticed a significant increase battery life.
I realized that one of the apps that I was running must have been the culprit.
(Unfortunately I don’t know which one it was…)
Now, I can go a solid two days (mostly on standby, close to what I was used to) without having to charge my phone.
I wish I knew exactly which app was causing my issue but since I wiped out so many, I can't say specifically which one was the culprit.
I have also been more cautious when adding new apps, careful to watch and see as I add them, if they adversely affect my battery life.
Hope that helps

Ios 7.0.4 battery issue and DFU mode restore

Hi guys. My iphone has an issue with its battery since i updated my iphone from ios 6.0.2 to 7.0.1 until now ios 7.0.4. I have tried many things, like turn off parallax, background app refresh, location service, mail to fetch, air drop, bluetooth, celular data, delete icloud back up from iphone, delete email acount, reset all setting, restore from back up, restore and set it as new phone, but all thoose things didn't help. Now I loose 1% for 3 minutes. Before thoose update i loose 1% about 6 minutes.
But i have been oberseving so far to know what is causing this issue. This morning i did the DFU mode restore, exatcly not recovery mode restore. After DFU restore completed, i watched every each percent of my battery begun increases to 4,30 minutes while using internet via safari. After that i restored again from my itunes backup, and the battery back to 1 % / 3 minutes while using safari with the same setting. This is first time my battery increases, and my first time i used the dfu mode restore. So far i always using itunes restore.
I guess there are something make the battery drained. I think that icloud data and email account causes this issue. But when i try delete manually my two email accounts and icloud data backup. My battery still 1% / 3 minutes.
So, are you guys have some experiences? Any ideas?
Thanks before, regards from Indonesia

I'am sorry. I'am using ios 7.0.4 now. I forget to set it before i send that post

IOS 5.0.1 battery issues

Anyone else still having issues with battery life? I've reached the point where my battery goes from 100% to 10% in under 6 hours. Anyone have any info on iOS 5.0.2?

IPhone 4S iOS 5.1.1 battery issue

Hi, i have an iPhone 4S 16GB iOS 5.1.1 and have terrible battery life.
I fully charged my phone to 100% this morning and it has drained 70% in just 7 hours under very minimal usage [wifi OFF - cellular data OFF - bluetooth OFF - photo stream OFF - location services OFF] also i have only 15 downloaded apps and about 400 songs after a major cleanup.
I also factory restored my device the day before and had done multiple hard resets, so please don't give me advice about that. I am wondering if there is any fix because atm i am certainly leaving apple if there is no fix

Who are you talking to? Did you do a forum search? (Start with the "More Like This list on the right side of this screen.)

IOS 5.1.1 Battery issues Fixed?

Title, in iOS 5.1 there were still battery bugs, are they fixed in 5.1.1? Or are they worse?

For me, going to 5.1.1 made my battery worse. When I had 5.1, I could use my phone (iPhone 4) heavily during the day (voice, text, safari, apps, etc) and finish the day with 50-60% battery. I updated to 5.1.1 yesterday and can watch the drain happen.
For instance, this morning I took my phone off the charger (100%). After an hour off the charger with very light safari usage (over wifi) and a text conversation, my battery had depleted to 92%. It has been off the charger for 2.5hrs and I am currently at 80%. So I'm losing battery at a rate of roughly 10% per hour. I'm planning to restore back to 5.1 when I get home this evening, I'll never survive a workday at this pace. I haven't used voice yet, which I did yesterday. I lost 10% battery during a 10-15 min conversation.
So, mathematically, if the drain continues and I use voice for a 20 min conversation, my battery will be completely dead in an 8 hr day. Makes doing business hard. So, if apple doesn't solve the mysterious ghost drain by the time my upgrade comes around, I'm going Android. I've had enough of this. My iPad works great, but the iPhone hemorrhages battery life ever since iOS 5. 5.1 slowed it down some, but 5.1.1 opened the floodgates again in my case.

Will iOS 6.1 fix battery issues?

I just downloaded and installed iOS 6.1 but I'm wondering if there are more features that apple don't tell you!
Does anyone else know the other features? As I am pretty sure here are.

My Iphone 5 is not working as wonderfully previous to this 6.1 update. The battery is draining very fast using LTE and even Wifi or doing nothing by night with airplane mode. I also suspect that usage statistics doesn't work as before that it really showed my use. It is impossible that I have 17h 48 minutes of standby and 13h 30 minutes of usage in 19 hours!!! My battery is now at 1%. Previously to this update I was really at standby for more than 2 days... I want to recover my Iphone before this awful update!

How to fix iOS 5.0.1 battery issues - answer

Since I upgraded to ios 5.0.1 my battery was shocking. I lost 20% overnight and about 1% every 5 mins when using the phone. This morning I turned off location based iADs and my battery has been great. I went out for 1.5 hours earlier on my bike and even took a couple of photos and my battery stayed at 66%.
I don't know if this is a true fix but it worked for me.

Thanks for the link
Ok, last question: I know how to restore my phone without a back up. If I do this will I lose my installed apps and music? I have all of my mp3's so worst case scenario I can put those back in my itunes. What about the apps that I have purchased? Thanks for your help!

IOS 5.0.1 battery issues on 3GS

So I updated to 5.0.1 this afternoon, and my battery was a little low. I put it on charge for a little while. Before I had to leave work, since leaving work an hour ago, my phone has gone from 27% to 4%. In the last ten minutes alone it's gone from. 11% to 4%. I have everything turned off in the background, so what's the deal?

I'll assume you're on a Windows machine.
Try disabling the firewall on your computer, then update again.

Battery issue with iphone 4

Hello. I have an iphone 4 a long time with no problem at all. I used ios 4.3.3 , with a lot of calls, mesagges, wifi and browsing and the battery was great. It could last about 3 to 4 days. Then I decided to update to ios 5 , and the battery issues started. I had to have everything switch off in order to last 1.5 day the battery, which is unacceptable because I bought this phone not just to see how beautiful it is, but also to use all its capabilities. I send it to service in order to check the battery and the answer was , the battery is ok and according to apple's specs. I can't charge every day my phone, if I want to use locations or wifi.
So I am asking you, is it possible to downgrade to ios 4.3.3 firmware ?
I liked the battery the way it was...

Ok, is there an email in order to address apple my problem with the battery and request a new one?
As I am living in the EU I cannot arrange and online support. The responsible one's for iphone support are the carriers and I don't trust them.I am still under warranty and I have already send my iphone for repair once but they did nothing. I am sending it a second time and I would like to speak with someone that can give me answers and give me a replace. I don't mind paying for it, but I wan to be fixed.

IOS 5.1 and iPhone 4S - battery issues resolved?

Has the 5.1 update resolved your battery issues or created any new ones?
I just updated mine, and had to rush out the door so I couldn't test properly- I couldn't reset all settings to factory or recharge the phone to 100% but as is, so far no improvement at all. I wouldn't say I have the issue as bad as some others as my 4S lasts about the same as my windows phone (HD 7 - amazing phone if anyone wants a second phone or a change from ios, Android ***** so hard it hurts) and my old 3GS used to get after i updated it to 4.1 which was really bad, except I don't get so much "phantom drain" as that did. I do know that it could be much better as when I've reset my settings to factory before I've got a much better life span (what I'd expect from a smartphone) for a day or so before getting the bad battery again.
Any news, tips or findings? How has ios5.1 affected your 4S or previous model iPhone?

IPhone 4S update to iOS 5.1 singal and battery issues

Hi,
I was on 5.0.1 and had no issues at all loved the phone and my battery life. Eversince I updated to 5.1 my phone signal is awful, 2 bars when I had 5 before, constantly floating, calls drop for no reason. Yesterday nobody was able to reach me until I restarted my phone. Switched phone on in the morning yesterday and I get no service for around 30 minutes, after restarting 3 times it finally found network.
On o2 got my iphone from Apple unlocked.
As to battery life I can loose around 10-20 % in 2-3 hours not doing anything just in stand by, my battery issues were solved with 5.0.1 but started again with 5.1
What is apple doing? it is to say the least frustrating as ****. Fix one thing then break another, or break 2 while fixing them. It ****** me off.
I tried to restore my phone 7 times already set up as new and still no improvement.
One more interesting issue is when you go to your purchases in App store, and click dowload and app dissapears and then reappears on home screen few minutes later once it is done downloading.
Anyone else with this kind of a issue?

Honestly guys,
It is either apple is blinded by their immense success which will not last if they keep going the direction they going. They should have more time to test their products thouroughly before they put their production line on overdrive. Company this size ignoring issues like that.
I think new Ipad will have problems as well, it seems this line up 4S and new ipad is kind of transition point to a newer devices and were made just to get something out on the market. Using same CPUs same formfactor.
My problem is I payed a fortune for it and it doesnt perform, I dont pay 600 pounds for a phone because I want to have issues with it. What they are doing is plainly ignoring these problems. Battery issue been going on since the release of the phone, going to be a year soon.
Microsoft and Apple changing places, look like microsoft going the right direction now with Widnows 8 and mobiles where as apple comes up with something like Lion which I hated and now Mountain Lion which plainly is running out of ideas and starting to implement some features from iOS, these are completely different devices. They do not need to be the same, they werent created for the same purprose.
I was on apples side all along but they are blinded by their pride in leading this revolution that they choose to ignore these issues. Relying on peoples stupidity to show off things like ipad 3 is 4x faster than tegra 3 where as in real results it came out 15% faster.
Apple get his fixed before it is too late. Scared to buy your products now!!! Good thing I didnt get iPad looking at overheating issues it is having, and also not charging from cable while in use but draining battery. No thanks

A new iOS update and another new battery issue on the iPhone 5

Has anyone else contacted Apple support and been given te same old "solutions" on the battery issues?
1) Turn off location services.
2) Turn off background app updates.
3) Restore as a new device.
These solutions turn a smartphone into a dumb-phone. I love my iPhone but with every new iOS update, the battery becomes incredibly unreliable. Has anyone found a solution that does not kill the iPhone's functionality?

You can try a soft-reset of pressing and holding both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds so that it reboots, but you are likely to get the same screen. If it does then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes so that it can be reset back to factory defaults - do you have a friend with a computer with iTunes installed on it, or is there an Apple store nearby that you could try going to (if there is then preferably make a Genius Bar appointment at it, or don't go at a busy time) ?
Has she been backing up to the cloud ? If she has then she should be able to restore to that. If not then what she can redownload for free from the stores will show in the Purchased tabs in the store apps.
