Ios7.0.6 Iphone5 battery drain please help

Ever since I updated to ios7, i have noticed a MONSTROUS decline in battery life. I was weary to update in the first place and waited almost 2 months before I did. Regrettably, i gave in. Battery life declined almost 75%.. I turned off every single power hungry feature, even LTE. Nothing helped. After further research, I tried to restore as a new phone.. Nothing. Restore from backup, nothing. I have taken every single measure to reduce the battery drain to NO AVAIL. So about a month ago i called apple, being out of warranty for about 4 months, they ran a test on the battery and found it was at 91% which i was told was pretty good for a 14-15 month old phone. They offered battery replacement for 100$ or so and said "it may not even fix the problem". The other solution was to buy a new iphone. UNACCEPTABLE!! They offer no help, and even hinted that the software is the problem. And then told me it may also be another hardware problem(being the owner, i know for a FACT it is a software problem caused by ios7, as the battery life was great before the update and terrible immediately after). And basically told me i was S.O.L. My question is this, has anyone found ANY possible way to fix this issue short of downgrading(if even possible)? Please refrain from the basic and known ways, as I have tried them all many times.. Im looking for a REAL solution to the problem. And if this issue is not remedied or fixed by apple soon, they may lose ANOTHER customer to android. I have had iphones since my 3g and this is by far the most irritating problem i have encountered. Please someone help! Im not ready to get a new 800$ phone in less than 2 years! And i know for a fact battery replacement will barely help if at all.

Try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Using my macbook pro whole day with the power adapter , will it affect my battery? Please help

Using my macbook pro whole day with the power adapter , will it affect my battery? Please help

It doesn't affect the battery. You can use your MacBook Pro plugged in all the time without damaging the battery. You only have to be sure that you unplug it and run a battery cycle (drain the battery without letting the Mac turn off and charge it fully) at least once a month to keep the battery life.

Hello Cooper,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5. I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not powering on. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Yosemite is draining my battery. Please help.

Hi! Look like parallels is draining my battery each time it gets connected. The battery drain only started 1 month after I upgraded to Yosemite.
Can anyone help please? Would using Boot Camp resolve this problem? Do I need to reload win 8 after setting up Boot Camp?
Thanks in advance.

The title of this topic is wrong. Parallels/Windows is draining your battery. Perhaps the Parallels forums are the best place to look for a solution. E.g.:

Zen 2GB Battery Issue - Please help!

$? I bought two Creative Zen 2GB as their battery life is up to 30 hours. I have a Microsoft Zune and it gets the 4 hours listed but both of the Zen's only get 0- hours per full charge. I fully charge, then run the recovery tool and run disk clean up, format, new firmware. I then add all mp3's at 28 bitrate, EQ off, bass off and keep the volume on 3. In the setup I the brightness down as far as it will go at 0%, I think you should be able to set it to 0%. But what am I missing to only get 0-2 hour max on these two new units? I recently read about Idle shutdown, but yesterday I charged the Zen 8 hours to be sure, then with all the optimal settings I cut it on at 0pm and let it run througout the night and at 9am it had very little charge left...please help with any ideas/suggestions as I just get links from Creative tech telling me things I am already doing.

Excellent, thanks for the replies and I read about the lock function online but it said for 4GB and up I think, but not 2GB. I thought, even with the screen at the lowest, 0% that it was too much lcd and a battery drainer...thanks!
Yes, I have the 2G ZEN player and it does have the "lock function" (often on the Creative's web site they neglect to mention the 2G) - I "lock it" every time I listen to my audio books. By using this function it "closes" (blackens) ?the LCD screen and saves the battery considerably.
When I first bought this player it was the first time I had an internal battery, all the other ones I had used -AAA battery. I was hesitant about using the type of battery in the ZEN player but I can listen ALL day and ALL night and still have battery life left. Then I recharge the battery in the wee hours of the morning, ready to listen to more books and music that day.
Just some thoughts,

Iphone5 battery drained and wont open

I just bought the iphone 5 last year and it was so good everything runs so fine. Until i upgraded the software to IOS 7 , i started having problems on charging , battery drained too fast and it wont open anymore. The most irritating was when the battery left uncharge or drained, it wont open nor charge anymore. I've tried using different original cable charger but it wont work. I'm so ****** with this phone.

Try removing the battery to try and reboot the device. It's possible that something else went wrong with the device. If that doesn't work I would contact your wireless service provider.

5 days old iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 battery life please help

My phone is 5 days old and i am so fed up with battery life. I disabled all data settings and location services and i have nothing in notification center for any push notification. But still i lost 40% of the battery in half a day with just 5 mins of voice call and 15 mins of texting. Phone was idle the rest of the time and when i used i had brightness at around just 10-15% this is my first iPhone and totally disappointed as i saw battery to last a full day of normal usage in the internet. I am totally fed up with apple. What should i do now ? I am a student and invested an year's savings of mine to get this phone. I am totally fed up. Someone please help me.

You have to tell us what your usage pattern is like, what your reception/signal strength is, and what network type you are using (E/3G/4G/LTE)
To note, the more the screen is on (in long intervals 2+ minutes) the shorter the battery life is.
Streaming music over 3G will last 6 hours if the screen stays off for most of that time.
Email, messages, web browsing will last most of the day.
Since you have GSM, your phone should last 10 hours with light usage.

IPhone 5 battery drains quickly, HELP

Ok, ive been banging my head against the wall for the last week because of my iphone 5.
I bought it august 2012
My orginal battery really started draining quickly 2 weeks ago. when it was dead it would not charge or power up. I brought it back to the shop where i bought and they sent it back because i thought it was under warranty. Turns out because i changed the screen myself a few weeks back my warranty was now void.
I bought a new battery online and replaced it myself, i left the new battery drain to the red and then charged for 12 hours. it still drained in about 4 hours. rechrged again for 6 hours and same result.
If there is any body that has any advice for me i would be delighted,
Thanks for listening

Do you also own an iPad? I have struggled with all solutions to fast depleting battery on iphone 4s (and ipad) since installing ios7. I sync via icloud to my ipad and noticed the b stopped if I powered off the ipad for a day! ios7 must have set up some cycle that drained both devices. Now I have set the ipad to manual (not push) on icloud and diary sync and battery life is back to normal for a whole week it can last 48 hours with light use- no longer have to keep shutting down all apps and turning off bluetooth and wifi to get through a day! Any one else found the same solution?

But not able to see any respons on the screen. My phone is not under warranty and I need to use it on urgent basis. Kindly suggest.

Hey Ankit Baria,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing power issues with your iPhone 4s. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
4. After at least 15 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
5. If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
6. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
7. If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Hope this will help

Sad face then funny battery signal please help!!!

Hey man...I have the EXACT same Ipod with the EXACT same problem. I went to the apple store and they told me I had to wait 3 days to make an appointment with a "Mac Genius" to look at it and that with all the repairs done it would probably cost me $150. Frustrated, I went home and did some research and heres what I found:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ljPhrFUaOY
http://notpopular.com/blogs/josh/2006/03/29/fix-your-ipod-by-spanking-it/
I kid you not. So basically I put the wall charger on, let it charge for 3 hours. Took it off the wall plug and then slapped the $#!t out of it 4 or five times. Then turned it on. Same sad face. Tried a combination of the reboot procedure and slapping around and now it works! Good luck and hope it works for you too!
I feel like going to the apple store and slapping the crap out of "Mac Rip Ppl off Genius"

How can i fix my IPOD TOUCH 2ND Gen Battery!Please help

Help! I dont know what happened buht wen i tried to Use my Ipod This morning It Didnt Work!! I tried every thing nothing works! Wont even charge Nothing COMES up. Please help i DONT have money to send it to Apple because they pay to much . If you can help thank you

the 2nd gen ipod battery is not easy for beginners to replace themselves. It needs to be soldered. so if you dont want to give it to apple to fix because they are too expensive you can try another company that you send it to them, they fix it and you get it back.
