IPhone 4S battery drain problem with iOS 7.0.4

I have a had the iPhone 4 for a year and a half...The battery was working just fine with the iOS 6 but when updating to iOS 7..Things got a bit ridiculous, battery drains 4% in 10 minutes without WiFi. With Wifi it drains about 8% in 10 minutes with only one application used which is Safari. I usually turn off the WiFi and shutting all the applications of before putting on Standby to help in battery time efficiency. I reset all my settings as most of the tutorials say. I don't use GPS and closed most of the notification center applications that I don't use. Battery only lasts like 3 or 4 hours of continuous work with WiFi and low brightness..I'm seeking some help from Apple Technical support WHOM I tried to contact but with no answer.

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.

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.

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!

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

The easy and quick way to fix this is to connect your iphone to itune...
1.Go into your iphone (Top right of itune).
2.You'll see 3 different topics in bold - Iphone, backups and options.
3.Go to options and uncheck all the boxes (make sure you remeber what was been check before you uncheck anything in the boxes).
4.Check only - manually manage music and video and press apply (bottom right of itune).
5.Wait for it to finish the process (it should delete everything).
6.Then it is up to you.... either go by each tap and sync each one (info, apps, tones, music, movies, TVshows, podcast and photos) or uncheck manually manage music and check whatever it used to be before you unchecked everything.
7.All done, Everything should be working perfectly.
Please shared to other that needed help

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 4S battery drain with iOS 5.0.1

I am experiencing just about the same battery drain with the iOS update as I did before.
I was wondering how many of you had the battery drain problem, updates to iOS 5.0.1 and had that actually solve your battery problem.

I have IPhone 4 and I updated the IOS to version 5. After the update the battery lasts about a day. After the update to 5.0.1 the battery lasts a day and a half. It is an improvement, but not as I expected.
The next step is to disable configuration options like:
- downgrade from 3G network to 2G
- disable Data services
- disable automatic clock
- disable location services
- use the phone only as a phone and nothing else.
I will come back to tell how much the battery lasts.
PS: the IPhone 4 is new so there is no problem with the battery itself.

My iPhone 5 battery drain with in 3 hours when I use cellular network on and stand by time is only 2 and half day

I Bought iphone 5 from USA when I came to India I started it then I noticed the battery stand by time is only 3 days. And when I use cellular data then it is live only for 2 and half hour. I bought this phone in January till now I am having the same problem. I have done all the thing whatever the support center told me about restore and all stuff. After that they told me to visit any apple store but there are no store in India and I'm helpless. For my iPhone only I can't go abroad to that country where stores are. Before I used to believe that apple products are the best but this iPhone has just disappointed me. You know my friend making fun of my mobile because they are using samsung product.
Pleade do some thing for me I have left only 2 month of warranty. other wise I will have to through this on dustbin because everywhere it is insulting me.

Sorry, but the warranty for the iPhone is only valid in the country where you bought the device.
In most of the cases 3rd party apps or settings caused the battery to drain faster than before the new software has been set up. Sometimes the mail app tried to connect to the mail server over and over again, deleting and setting up the mail account can solve this problem.
In other cases social media apps did similar things to the phone.
Here are some suggestions for getting back the normal battery life, maybe they are helpful for your problem with your iPhone 5 as well.

iOS 6 iPhone 4s battery drain

Iphone 4s battery draining very fast and phone getting hot - downloaded ios 6 about 2 weeks back

my iphone 4S gets discharged in few hours - started doing this 2 days back
I downloaded ios6 about 2 weeks back
Phone getting hot too
battery drains even without using the phone- and phone becomes hot
have tried turning it completely off and restarting it but still battery draining problem persists
please guide

I final piece for me in the jigsaw following on from this
http://www.care4pcs.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-be-happy-gmail-user-on-iphone-or.html
is to turn off wifi when you do not need it. When I leave the house I turn off wifi, because the majority of the times when my iPhone has got very hot and crashed is when I am away from home. I suspect that if the iPhone is in the vicinity of public wifi (wheather secure or not secure) it will try and connect, even if you have 'automatically join known networks' set to off. This is easy of course if you have an unlimited data contract for your iPhone. I may be wrong, but it is working for me. It makes sense for me because it is another way of reducing the work the processor (and battery) has to do and therefore reduces the chance of overheating.
Having said that, I never had this problem with my iPhone 4. I now have a 4S.
Try it. Hope it works for you.

Iphone 5 battery drains rapidly, I have turned off apps and location even purchased a new battery, is anyone else having this problem?

Iphone 5 battery drains rapidly, I have turned off apps and location even purchased a new battery, is anyone else having this problem? If anyone knows how to fix please let me know. I've tried the hard reset and nothing works.

There was a run of bad batteries for the iPhone 5. Apple will replace them if your phone qualifies and you haven't tried to fix it yourself. See: iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program - Apple Support. Unfortunately, you may have disqualified yourself if you tried to repair it yourself.
However, rapid battery drain is only rarely caused by a bad battery. A bad battery is usually diagnosed by a battery percentage that jumps randomly. See this for advice: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain

Either your battery is failing or your battery gauge needs to be recalibrated. Start by recalibrating:
When it shuts off charge for just a minute or two, then restart (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Deliberately run the battery down until the phone shuts off at 1%. If it shuts off above 1% repeat the above until you get to 1%. Then charge for 4 hours with the wall charger without using the phone. This process will recalibrate the battery gauge.
To prevent this from happening again about once a month run the battery all the way down to 1%, then continue until the phone shuts off. Apple recommends this in their battery help article, but they don't say why you should do it. The have some hokum about "keeping the electrons moving." Honestly! The iPad battery tip gives the correct reason.
If this does not resolve the problem you most likely need a new battery. If you are near an Apple store take the phone in and they can test the battery for you.

How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.
