IOS 8 update causing drastic decline in iPhone 5 battery performance.

Since the IOS 8 update, my iPhone 5's battery performance has drastically declined. Anyone else having this issue?

does the battery monitor not tell u what is using it? go into settings for it.
dunno where your based but in the uk we have 4g but not everywhere so with 4g enabled on the phone it keeps searching for a better signal so turn that off. Try turning off mobile data when your not using it to see if that prolongs the battery. Like an issue I have if there is a data connection issue then the phone will be doing a lot of "trying to connect" and using up battery fast.

I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

You should never lose contacts under any circumstances.
Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer where such important data should be available with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone for such important data which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
In addition, there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air including an iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
If you are not syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account and not backing up your iPhone wirelessly with your iCloud account, your iPhone's backup is being updated by iTunes on your computer which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express and by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. With a Mac, contacts can be synced with the Address Book app. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If the supported address book app on your computer is not used and has no contacts available, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

Newest iOS update causing battery discharging?

My girlfriend updated her iphone 4s, and now the battery is discharging itself too fast. Example today she did nothing with the phone for two hours, and battery still lost over 20% charge. All apps were shut down and there was only same programs on what she normally uses. What to do?

Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

Does this mean that ios 6.0.1 will be the last ios update for ipad 2 and iphone 4s?

With the release of ios 6.0.2, which is only available for the iphone 5 (and ipad mini) does this mean that ios 6.0.1 will be the last software update for the 4s?

As that was only a bugfix update specific to those devices, no.

Why does the iOS update not extend to the iPhone 3G ? I would like to use iCloud on all my devices but can't on my iPhone.

I have updated my lap top and my iPad to iOS but my iPhone won't update. I find this really frustrating.

Sometimes that is a business decision, sometimes technology driven. Operating systems and software get to a point where hardware is not capbable of using the software effectively so it is not supported. This has happened a few times in the life of various Mac OS versions.
It's frustrating but not much we individual users can really do about it.

IOS UPDATE DELETED EVERYTHING ON MY IPHONE

While updating to IOS6, my iphone crashed, and asked me to plug it into the computer. In doing so, iTunes used that to overwrite my backup, and now I have lost every picture and conversation I had on my phone... I am very very frustrated right now! Any help?

If you imported your pictures to your PC you can sync it back using iTunes. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

Mistyped icloud username and activation of "find iPhone" with last IOS update

I managed to mistype icloud username and activate "find iPhone" with last IOS update.
This means that:
I can not verify the iCloud username because it is a non-excisting email with no alternative e-mail adress
I can not delete the iCloud account because I do not have a password
I can not use forgot password because the iCloud-ID is a non excisting e-mail adress
I can not turn off "find iPhone" because the iCloud username is not verified
My Appel-ID is different from the icloud-ID with only one letter after the @ prefix, and that is the reason for this whole mess. I was supposed to type my Appel-ID as my iCloud-ID, but mistyped and approved the "new" and wrong iCloud-ID. During the last IOS update I activated the "find iPhone" functionality as a part of the installation procedure. The result is listed in the list above.
Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Will the IOS 7 feature "Parallax" work on iPhone 4?

I've been looking at the new update for the iPhone (IOS 7) and its full of amazing features. but will certain features like the dynamic wallpapers and the Parallax feature be available on the iPhone 4 even though the IOS update is optimized for the iPhone 5?
Thanks!

No one knows any more than you can read on Apples website.

Last iOS update broke iphone5

3 days ago iOS 8.2 update happened. Since then my phone is froze either black or Apple or sometimes a screen like "blue screen of death like on a comp"?I've tried itunes , I get error 2002. Tried downloading from cloud. Last night tried reiboot_ free program but didn't work so now wants $59.00 for paid program. I don't trust this will work. I'm ready to stop using Apple and go back to droid.
this is ridiculous , I've been with Apple 3 years have iPhone and iPad and Apple TV. ready to purchase a fourth Apple computer. I'm rethinking all of this and may get away from Apple.
this is second time a iOS update broke an outherwise working iphone. APPLE GET IT TOGETHER.

I can't count the number of iOS updates I've done and only encountered 1 major issue since purchasing a 1st Generation iPod Touch.
Error 2002 is indicating a USB communication error, if you are using a hub or a front USB connection on a desktop try plugging into a primary USB port. You might also want to use a different cable.

Try to do a reset, if it doesn't work try remove recently added apps this may solve your problem ( like google app because it has happened with me)
Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining.

Is it preferrable to use iPhone 5 to accommodate the new iOS 6 than maintaining my current iPhone 4S? The battery life is not that good after updating my iPhone 4 S to iOS 6.

I've updated my iPhone 4S with the latest iOS 6 but battery life had never improved as I expected. A friend of my had recently replace his iPhone 3GS with iPhone 5 and both us compared our simillar daily usage of browsing, emails with attachments (work related), messaging (via iMessage, WhatsAppa, WeChat) games, facebook, tweet, uploading, etc, it seems that iPhone 5 last longer by 35-40% compared to my iPhone 4S. By. The time he hits 60-55% on his iPhone 5, my iPhone 4S Is less than 15%... My Questions to the community or any Apple Consultant, is it preferrable to replace my beloved iPhone 4S with iPhone 5 in order to accommodate the performances of iOS 6 and the "coming soon" iOS 7? Is it a practise to replace every iPhone when there's a new iOS update? Please advise.

It largely depends on how much money you are prepared to spend.
Your question is much like asking "I have last year's model car. This year, the car has some new features. Should I trade in last year's model and get this year's?" Well, maybe. It's your call.
Each newer generation introduces some new features and capabilities.

Does SMS relay iOS 8.1 cause extra iPhone battery usage?

I was messing with both SMS relay the other day and noticed that my battery drained almost twice as fast..
I was also messing with handoff and basically just testing the new integration features between Yosemite and iOS8.1
But my question is about SMS relay.. Does anyone know if this will us up more iPhone battery than if I wasn't using SMS relay and just SMSing from the iPhone itself?
Does SMS relay work via bluetooth? Could this be a cause for extra battery usage? It could be possible that I was jus using my phone a bit extra that day but I just want to make sure as I have SMS relay turned off for now, don't want battery life dropping..

I had the same problem. I realized that it had everything to do with my calendar app. My iCalendar was having a difficult time fetching information from my Outlook and Yahoo Calendar. Causing my battery percentage to decline at a very rapid rate. (50% in a 4 hour time frame). I resolved the problem by going into my Settings >" Messaging , Contact , Calendar" Setting > Clicking on one of my selected Accounts ( Outlook or Yahoo) and turning off the Calendar Sync. The problem seemed to go away after doing this. Now I'm only using 4% battery life in a 4 hour time frame in StandBy Mode. Well I Can only hope that this will help resolve the battery drainage issue. Good Luck ....
