IPhone 4 Severe Battery Draw from 3G after iOS 6.1 update!!

iPhone 4
8GB Sprint
iOS v6.1
After updating to v6.0, my average battery life was cut by at least 20%. Very noticeable. I updated to v6.1 with hopes that this widespread issue was resolved only to find out that if my 3G is turned on, my phone is getting extremely hot and will die from a full charge after three hours.
Has anyone else ran into this? I have a colleague with a 4s who is having the same exact issue.
Cheers

The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
Standard troubleshooting is:
Re-boot the phone
Restore the phone from your backup
Restore the phone as a new device.
One of the 3 should fix the problem.

Iphone 5 stuck on connect to itunes after iOS 6.1 update

I connected my iphone to itunes to download a few songs and the iOS 6.1 update. I come back to the phone 15min later and itunes says the download was incomplete it is stuck on the connect to itunes screen.I try to restore the phone, but the device is not recognized in itunes. I tried to turn off the phone but it keeps on turning back to the connect to itunes screen. Whenever I dissconnect the usb cable to my windows laptop, i hear this notification sound, but there is no pop up thing. The iphone is also not recognized on the my computor tab. This is extreemly frustrating, and I would like to avoid going to the apple store.
Thanks

Battery Life Worse Now After iOS 6.1 Update on iPhone 5

Bought & using a new iPhone 5 since late December. Updated last night on the phone itself to 6.1 iOS. Now I am finding that the battery is draining considerably faster than before. I have seen the battery meter actually go down 1% at a time from when I unlock the screen to even swipe a couple of pages of apps and send one or two texts.
I did the expected battery-saving techniques of lowering the brightness, turning off the LTE and iCloud and Location Services. Manually push data for email was set always for me. But still battery dropping like a hot potato.
Any tips and/or ideas? I read on another thread about resetting the phone. Would that work? Needless to say I am aggravated and disappointed as this is my first new and current smartphone in over 5 years. And now this is all happening. Ugh!

2. When I will restore iPhone as new, and if it resolves my problem, will I then be able to restore my data from existing backup so that to retain resolved problem?
Thank you very much for your support.

Contacts disappeared from phone after iOS 4.2 update

I updated my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 4.2 and after some contacts disappeared from my phone but are still on my computer. I've tried resetting sync history, I even restored the phone and the same contacts still won't show up. I have a PC that runs Windows 7, I've been using it since September and I never had this issue before.

Welcome to the discussions,
did you also try to use the option to replace all contacts on the phone with the ones on the computer during the following sync? You can find this option in the info pane, advanced section.

Iphone 5s not receiving imessages or sms after ios 8.1 update

Since updating to iOS 8.1 this morning I have not received any iMessages or SMS, despite my wife having told me she has sent numerous messages to me today! Anyone else have this problem, and any ideas as to how to resolve it? Thanks.

I had this problem too. Upgraded this morning and didn't receive any messages all day. Got home and looked at my iPad and found that I'd missed several messages.
Turned out that iMessage was switched off. Don't know why that would be the case... but I went into Settings -> Messages, saw that it was now off, switched it on, and all is back to normal.

My iPhone overheats. Battery drops from 100/90% to 10% sudenly. Got the device 20 days ago. I'm currently living in The Hague, there is no Apple Store in this city, took an appointment in Amsterdam, after 3 hours drive and 60€ travel cost got into the Apple Store, 73 minutes delay on my appointment the Genius tech tells me I should leave my device for further checks in the store and come back in a week or two. Not presicely the answer I was looking for, plus he did not have any device to lend me until my iPhone was checked. Quite dissapointed, Apple was standard for quality on customer satisfaction, in the last 10 years I bought 3 MacBooks, 5 iPdas, 7 iPods, 5 iPhones and 2 iMACs... please don't let me down. [email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected]

Dear Ocean, one is a complaint about the quality of the device.
The second about the quality on response from Customer Service.
No worries, I'll delete both post since it seems that won't bring anything productive.
Good bye Apple!

People keep having this problem as I keep seeing and also seeing apple doing nothing to help there consumers.
Anyone one know how to fix this problem because apple don't!
Come on apple! A fix!!!!!

I am having the same issues. I feel that I have to carry around a charger because it either dies so fast, or turns off when it's not completely dead or restarts.

Iphone 5s calendar not accept entries after ios 7.1 update

after ios 7.1 update the iphone 5s calendar not accept entries but will accept entries from sync with outlook connection via my MS desktop outlook

So, sometimes you discover a "fix" totally by accident. I tried the following and it's worked for me 100% of the time so far. Any entries I make using this have appearded on my iPhone and on any device where I view my calendar. Hope this helps others:
Open your calendar and then view it in the "month view";
Tap the hybrid view icon which is at the top to the left of the search icon at the top right of the screen; you'l see a list of the days activities at the the bottom of the screen.
Now, tap the "+" icon at the top to the right of the search icon. This will allow you to type in the event, time, date, etc that you want to enter.
Click "done" at the top right when finished. Now, you should see the event that you just entered at the bottom of the screen under the days activities. That should "stick" even if you close the calendar, or whatever. When I checked, it also showed up as it should on other devices. You can edit events, delete them, etc--it's worked for me.
I'm not sure why this worked--or what it's the only way to be able to enter an event since the move to iOS 7.1--but it's working for me--so why ask why??

Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: all the iphones in the house receive the same phone calls ONLY while we are at home. Any ideas on how to fix this?

That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off

IHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.

My iHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update. Prompts message 'This accessory is not supported by iPhone'. Has anyone come accross this and is there a fix?

Ring up iHome and ask them for a fix... And if they cant supply you with a fix... Then you should be entitled to a replacement or a upgrade, as firmware upgrades on your ios device should not affect audio products......
