IOS7 this update has ruined my 3 month old iPhone 5

A year ago I replaced the battery in my old iPhone 4 because the usage time had lowered to around 6.5 hours (that's usage time, not standby). The new battery brought the phone back up to 'new' spec and it gave me 8.5 hours of WiFi web browsing usage time again.
Anyway, I bought a brand new iPhone 5 three months ago and the usage time for WiFi web browsing was 8.5 hours. This was perfectly acceptable. I have now updated to iOS7 and my WiFi web browsing usage time is now 6 hours. That is worse than my old iPhone 4 with a two year old battery!
Two clean installs, setting up as a new phone and switching off parallax, location services, background app refresh, app store automatic updates etc have only permitted me to achieve 6 hours of WiFi web browsing before my battery is fully drained. Now call me a cynic but is this 'update' just designed to make all the old products obsolete so that everyone upgrades to an iPhone 5S?? My phone was the Apple flagship not one week ago!

If you are in the US ,some Apple genius bars are replacing screens at this time if  your local store isn't offering that service or you are not in the US  there will be an out of warranty exchange unit for $229
make sure you back up everything as if you exchange your iPhone will go and the Genius bar do not provide a backup service

  • What is apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update? this update has ruined my phone

    What is Apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update??? This update has ruined my phone! Why would you put out a update you know is going to ruin someones phone? Whats being done? I have tried everything to fix my phone which was just fine before Apples IOS 7.1.2 update!!!

    I have also experienced issues with my iphone5 since updating to ios 7.1.2, prior to this update my phone was working perfectly fine and I know I didnt cause any damage to the phone because I baby my iphone as if it was my child. Ever since I updated to 7.1.2 my phone shutts itself down while I am using it, it can be while using whatsapp, browsing the internet or using apps, more than anything it fails while using the internet. The screen will either start to flicker or vertical lines will pop up and then the phone will fade to black, after this happens the phone will get really hot and to turn it back on I have to wait 5-10 minutes and hold down the power and home keys at the same time for about 15 seconds for it to turn back on, I have to wait 5-10 minutes because if I dont when I boot it back up it immediately shutts down again. This is a constant all day thing and for now i get by just making phone calls and sending regular text but I try to keep the action down to a minimum to prevent missing a phone call. I tried clearing the phone and rebooting it to original setting but this didnt fix it. After reading and speaking with several techs they tell me that ios 7.1.2 rolled out some performance adjustments one particular that affects the amp levels that the battery works at and supposedly the iphone 5 cant handle it, they explained that the phone for certain activities is asking for more or less power and the phone panics into safe mode and shutts itself down. My battery life is fine so I havent changed the battery like someone had suggested. In the diagnostic data it gives a panic.ips error. Id really like to know if there is any possible way to roll back to 7.1.1 through jailbreak or any other way, I was perfectly happy with this phone and didnt plan on buying another one for atleast 1-2 more years. If anyone can help me out this would be greatly appreciated, if not I hope apple is working to fix this.

  • How do I get rid of Maverick on my computer and revert to the previous operating system? This update has nearly ruined my iMac destroying its speed, efficiency and flexibility.

    How do I get rid of Maverick on my computer and revert to the previous operating system? This update has nearly ruined my iMac destroying its speed, efficiency and flexibility.

    If restoring to the previous state from backup isn't an option (hopefully it is), it may be easier to try to resolve what is causing problems. It's possible that some incompatible software you have installed is messing with the smooth running of your Mac.
    Can you describe more fully what problems you are experiencing? You could also run EtreCheck and post the contents of its report here - it may reveal the cause as there is some software 'out there' that is known to create problems: http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

  • Finally got round to buying an iPhone 4, really excellent to start with. The sharing of music from my Mac Mini was excellent. ios6 update has ruined all that! The artist view miss's out most of my music and the sharing sometimes doesn't work at all!

    How do I get this feature working again? I am reluctant to move to iTunes 10.7 because I don't trust Apple at the moment.

    My suggestion:
    1) Always using MAC AIR with the power plug in.
    2)Don' let the power level of battory fall under 30% percentage.
    3)If the MAC can't be recharged now, just let it be with power plugged, WAIT...

  • WHEN will you support raw files for Canon 70D in PE? This camera has been out for months!

    WHEN will you support raw files for Canon 70D in PE? This camera has been out for months!

    Hi,
    PSE 12 with updates or PSE 13 should support the Canon 70D.
    Which version do you have and which operating system are you running on?
    If you have an older version of PSE, you could use the DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files - then you can use the DNG files in PSE.

  • I just downloaded ios7 and it has ruined my new ipad.

    I just downloaded ios7 and it has ruined my new ipad (which worked perfectly with ios6)
    1.spotlight search isn't doing anything. Literally not searching anything. Just a plain search bar
    2. my music won't play. - just silence
    3. iTunes just crashes when I go on it so I can't download any of my music.
    I've tried resetting, rebooting etc.
    Kinda wish I hadn't upgraded to this software as I need my pad working for uni.
    Any way to fix these things or back to the shop it goes. I'd rather have my money back than keep something that isn't doing what it's supposed to do.

  • My two month old iphone lightning cable is corroded and not working. Any solutions to this apparently common problem on the horizon?

    My two month old iPhone lightning cable is suddenly corroded and not working. Any solutions to this apparently common problem on the horizon?

    You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
    You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
    If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
    If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
    If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it.

  • ITunes crashed during transfer purchases now says This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device

    The problem that have started when I was going to sync my iPhone 4 with current iTunes running on 64bit Windows 7.
    I started iTunes and plugged in my iPhone.
    All looked good and the iPhone came up as the device as it should have.
    Next I wanted to transfer purchases prior to syncing so I started the Transfer Purchases process.
    iTunes stopped working during the Transfer Purchases process
    Now when I plug in my iPhone iTunes takes me to the “setup your iPhone” screen and displays “This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device” and only allows me to restore and old backup or setup as new.
    Obviously some files were not closed properly when iTunes crashed during the transfer purchases process, how can I cleanup iTunes so that it will allow me to backup and sync my phone.
    I am a software developer and am sure that a fix is not in the menu options   What I am saying is that I can easily remove or edit corrupt files to get it working.
    Thanks, Mike

    The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer".   There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
    However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone --  you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video.  So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
    Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS.

  • This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or other iOS.

    I have just upgraded my iPhone 4 with the recent upgrade to 5.0.1  - I get the response "This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or other iOS".  I then get two options:  1)  Set up as new iPhone, or 2)  Restore from Back Up.  So I restore the device - but it returns to the page that says "SET UP iPHONE, and gives me the 2 options again - set up new phone or restore.  It will not sync my purchased apps onto the iPhone - my iPhone only shows bookmarkes saved. 
    When plugged into iTunes, it shows on the far left as my device plugged in, yet if I go to "FILE" - in the drop down menu, it shows "sync iPod" or "transfer purchases for iPod"  but not iPhone... and its shaded grey.  iTunes is up to date, and the phone is not jail broken.  iTunes still has all my apps stored there - but they will not sync to my phone.
    I have also rebooted my iPhone by holding the HOME and POWER button down, then releasing the power button.  Nothing seems to work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Try setting it up as a new phone. There is probably something wrong with the existing backup.

  • This computer has previously been synced with an iphone

    I've got an iphone 3g & everytime I connect it to my computer it says "this computer has previously been synced with an iphone". It then says set up as a new phone or restore from the back up of iphone. This is the only iphone I've had & I've always used the same computer to sync etc. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get it to stop asking me to restore or set up as a new phone. I've tried doing both of these several times & I still get this screen coming up. I've also uninstalled & reinstalled itunes to see if it would help but it hasn't. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.

    Try this:
    1. First, disable auto-sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences>Devices(under the edit menu if using Windows).
    2. On that same device pane, highlight and delete any and all backups listed.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, and re-name your phone in the left device pane:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3965
    4. Then, right-click your phone in the left device pane & select "Backup". When finished sync your phone.
    See if doing this fixes things.

    You are under warranty. You can call Applecare and get advice from the tech rep, or you can bring it to an Apple store or authorized Apple service provider.

  • I have a six months old iPhone 5s, it discharges the battery in 1/2 day without extensive use, 5 trips to the Genius Bar to no avail... Frustrated.. Ready to get rid of the phone, very disappointed in apple support!!

    I have a six months old iPhone 5s that I use and have to use for work purposes, I have for a approximate battery life of seven or eight hours.
    I went to the Genius Bar on five occasions and did not receive substantial help. I was told that I would have some applications crashing in the background but was unable to be told which ones they were. The phone is still on the warranty, but it's Apple tells me that it is not the hardware but my usage. I compared it to some of my colleagues and none of them has a battery problem like I do. I feel like I am left with a product that is not stand up to its specifications, and as a customer being totally left alone with a smart phone that does not even last through a workday. Any suggestions how to get through to Apple with this?? I was always very impressed with Apple's customer service and care up until now, obviously. Now Im ready to jump ship...

    Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
    after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
    turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
    i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
    best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
    something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
    to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
    the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
    when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
    anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

  • TS1538 My 4 month old iPhone 5s stopped charging, original cable with adapter works fine on other iphones

    My 4 month old iPhone 5s stopped charging, original cable with adapter works fine on other iphones.
    I have tried restarting iPhone while its connected to my macbook pro and when it restarts, I see it starts charging again.
    After this, when I plug phone to wall outlet, it works perfectly and charges but next day again it stops charging.

    Will Apple cover this under warranty if the port is damaged due to unknown reasons as its under 1 yr warranty?
    Also, I am out of USA now and would like to know if I can send it through a friend and get it checked out by Apple tech...
    Never has any iPhones of all generations that I owned gave such problem.
