IPad 2  AND iphone 4 battery draining FAST since IOS 6 update!

I have done EVERYTHING I can think of and that has been suggested all over the World Wide Web to improve the battery life of both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 since the IOS 6 software update. Nothing works!!!! I am leaving town in a week, and I would like my phone to be working the way it did before.
Still taking suggestions to fix this.
APPLE please do something. I am losing faith, and I am also losing my desire to buy the new iPhone 5!
APPLE PLEASE HELP!
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried closing all apps? Double tab the Home button, then tap down on an icon and hold for about 3 seconds, until the icons are moving slightly. Click on the above every App.

  • 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.

  • My photo want sync and my you tube doesn't work after update and my battery drains fast.

    this new update doesn't work like i should work my photo doesn't upload my you tube doesn't work & my battery drain faster than ever now

    Synching new photos from iPhone to the new Photos app on the iMac is incredibly slow. Placeholders for the photos do appear but the content stays white (initially) then black. As an example, I started the Photos app some 15 minutes ago and am still waiting for the synch of merely 11 photos to complete.
    Since I agreed to pay 4.99 euro per month to extend online storage to 200 GB, I would expect flawless behavior. I am disappointed.

  • Iphone battery draining fast after reboot

    hi, my iphone battery drains completely from 100% to 0% in a few hours if I switch the phone off and turn back on. i recently found this out once after I switched off the phone.....But there is no problem (battery can last 1~2 days for normal use)if i do NOT switch off after recharge.
    Is this a software issue or hardware?? Has anyone got the same problem? Thank you so much.

    A couple more diagnostic tidbits.....my iPhone exhibited odd behavior after downloading the Star Gazer app from the App Store on Sunday. I activated the "arrange icon" feature to move the app icon for Star Gazer to a new position on my iPhone and after I moved it the icon for the app next to it (Weather Channel App) was absent but the label was present. When I slid my app screen back to the home screen and came back, the Weather Channel App icon was visible and the Star Gazer app was now absent but the label was present. I've also had some odd flashes of the home screen after unlocking my phone (I have it secured with a PIN to protect my data). Is this and IOS 4.1 issue?
    It is not an iOS 4 issue; it is a very rare problem, and has occurred with all versions. But if you search you will see reports are in the dozens, with 100 million phones in use that's a vanishingly small number. It usually means that memory in the phone is corrupted. If rebooting the phone doesn't fix it you should restore the phone using iTunes.

  • Iphone 5s battery drains faster on ios 8.1.2

    Hi,
    Facing problem of battery drains faster after 8.1.2 update. Phone low signals, App store low signals

    PPhone low signal? Are you saying your phone is having issue getting a strong cellular data signal? If so that is why your phone is draining battery at a faster rate.

  • 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.

  • Who can fix my Ipad 3 because it won't charge since IOS update?

    Ipad 3 won't charge since IOS update, who can fix this expensive item?
    Thank you

    Try a different electrical out.
    Make sure you are using the same power adapter and cable that came with the iPad.
    And try charging via USB to a computer.
    If nothing above helped, reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, restore the device > iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    If nothing above helps, take your iPad to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair provider > Apple - Find Locations

  • IPad 2 battery draining faster with iOS 7

    Since upgrading to iOS 7, my iPad 2's batter has been draining much faster than before the upgrade.
    One thing that might be contributing to this is how 7 revamped how it displays "open" applications.  Prior to 7 if you hit the Home button twice it would diisplay a row of icons at the bottom showing which apps were "active" or "open."  You could press an hold any icon and all icons would go int wiggle mode, and you could select certain processes and quit them.  This I did regualrly.
    Now with iOS 7, tapping the Home button twice shows large images of the last screen in the apps shown at the bottom, showing just two or three, making it a slow process to side-scroll to find an app.  Gone is the means of quitting open apps as well.  My list of open apps is pretty long and I'm sure that with so many open processes, the batter charge takes a big hit.
    I've looked in all the system settings and don't see any way to toggle or set the system such that I can quit running apps.
    So, here's my two-part question:
    1.  What steps can I take to slow the battery drain?
    2.  How can I close open apps?
    Bonus:  How to revert the ugly "open apps" display back to something that resembles previous versions, particularly how to get rid of the screenshots that take up so much room?
    Many thanks!
    -Tod
    *iPad 2 running iOS 7
    PS:  There ought to be a forum for iOS issues rather than forcing users to post in hardware-specific forums.

    If the drain seems extreme there may be something else going on.
    First try a reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
    If that does not help, backup & Restore the iOS Software

  • Iphone 5s battery drains fast after ios 7.1 update.

    Am I the only one who seems to be experiencing this? My iphone 5S battery seem to drain much faster than usual, and charge longer. I heard that the new update is supposed to increase battery life, and read comparison threads regarding other iphones that are capable of a much better battery life than mine.
    I've had my phone for 3 months, never have dropped it once or anything of the sort, if that matters. My battery drains to 50% within an hour or so after intense use on the lowest level of brightness, and I seem to lose about 5-7 percents when on standby for 5 hours or so. Is this normal? Is it perhaps due to the fact that I am mostly using 3g, and applications that require more processing such as tumblr (graphics and gifs) as well safari? I'm just worried that my battery may be draining to quick, despite the update which's supposed to make it much better according to many people.
    Thanks.

    Me too.
    I went from plugging in to charge at the end of the night, around 11pm, to barely getting through a workday with very light use.  With less than 10 hrs of standby and maybe 30 minutes with the screen even on I am rocking 15% battery life.  I'm also connected to wifi whenever at home or in the office, which accounts for over 9 hours of the standby time.
    I know people are suggesting turn off features... but eff that, 5 days ago I'd get through an entire day without any issue, under much heavier useage.  I don't want to have to turn on bluetooth everytime I get in my car and back off when I get out, I just want it to work when I turn the car on... I don't want to manually check for emails, I want it to tell me when an email comes. 

  • Battery on iPhone 5 drains fast on iOS 8.1 when in standby.

    Let my phone alone over night, it was at 93% when I went to bed but after waking up, battery life is at 38%.
    I cleared all my multi-tasking history and such.
    Could it be the software draining the battery?

    Mines started happening too since the update to 6.0.2 why still no fix.

  • Why my ipad sounds come and go and it is so low,and the battery draining quickly after ios 7

    Sorry there are some typos above, but you should be able to figure out what I'm asking. Let me know if you have tha same problem, know how to fix it, or know if apple is aware of the problem and is adressing it in a future update.

  • HT4623 iphone 4s drains faster after iOS 6.1.2 upgrade

    Got message saying need to upgrade to iOS 6.1.2 to prevent or repair problems causing battery to drain quickly, which was happening recently.
    Udated software and battery still drains way too fast.
    Is Apple aware of this?
    What are they doing to fix it since it appears to be a software issue?

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • I want to update to ios5.1.1 but i read that it will make my battery drain faster than ios 5.01

    is that right?

    Apple is not going to produce a software update that is going to set you back, and it wouldn't be created if there was anything negative about it. Here is some info on the batteries
