IPhone 4S sudden battery life problem with iOS7

I've been hearing the rumors of iOS7 battery life problems but not experiencing them ... until today.
The battery seems to lose about 20% every hour without my really using the phone at all. No calls. No Safari. No Calendar. No email.
I stopped all applications. Still drained.
Recharged.
I turned on airplane mode.  Still drained.
Recharged.
I turned off application background updates. Still drained.
I am recharging now. And I have turned off location services.
Not sure what changed. In the last day I did upgrade my computer to a brand new Mac Book Pro.  Could syncing with my new computer have changed something on the phone that would have initiated this.
I installed iOS7 on the release day and haven't had this problem until today.
Any other tips?
-Steve

Curiously enough, the problem is gone today.
Didn't change anything that I know of.
Turned background updating on.
Turned location services on.
Battery life seems to be holding in a "normal" way.
Baffled.

  • IPhone 4s ios6 battery life problem

    I upgraded my iPhone 4s to ios6 at 8am this morning. By 11am I had 10% battery life left! I have no GPS apps running. Anyone else have this issue?

    After looking around for a poissible solution in the settings, I noticed that the option for the Personal Hotspot was not under the General settings anymore. I went to it by selecting "General", then "Cellular" and the "Personal Hotspot" field there was hanging with the wheel turning around.
    Checked it for more than 1/2 hour and still no change (wheel still turning around). Deceided then to make a reset of the iPhone and when turned it on again after some seconds the option "Personal Hotspot" was back under the General settings menu. Under the selection "Cellular" the wheel was not turning anymore and it was on "off".
    I made this morning (West European time) and after that the bettery consumption went back to normal (if not even less than before). It has been about 10 hours ago and I have made couple of calls, sent couple of SMSs, kept Wifi always on and made regular checking of emails while on the road. The battery has reduced only 12% since then.
    I hope this has solved the problem.

  • I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

    No, you should not.  There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

    I have a problem in battery life time with iphone5s

    Do you have background app refresh enabled under settings then general. Also check under Settings->General->Accessibility->check if reduce motion is turned on. Also if you are using Dynamic wallpapers the movement in the background will eat your battery life quite a bit.

  • IPhone 4 poor Battery Life & Intended Obsolescence

    I have two questions and will include clarifications/details.
    1) Why does my iPhone 4 have such poor battery life? I have had an iPhone 4 for a little over 2 years. I first noticed poor battery life a year and a half ago. I recently (two months ago) replaced my battery. The new battery still has the same very poor battery life problems. It does not last half a day if I use it at all. Before anyone asks, yes, I do constantly close my open applications when they are not in use. And yes, I had a brand new battery put in the phone 2 months ago. It only seemed to give me better battery life for a few days, and then it was back to very poor. Maybe it works for 6 hours now, when before the replacement it worked for 4.
    2) A larger question that probably can't really be answered here: Does Apple design iPhone's to break down and work poorly after 2 years? It seems to me, these phones are designed to be used for a year at full functionality, and then start losing speed and battery life. Don't get me wrong, I think the functionality of a new iPhone is 2nd to none, but the functionality of an iPhone after 18 months, is mediocre at best.

    You did it yourself?  As Apple does not supply spare parts, including batteries, to anybody, there is your first suspect for bad battery performance.
    I did not do it myself. I paid a local NYC iPhone service company. And please, what do you mean "there is your first suspect." Replacing the battery is quite easy and thousands of people have done it successfully with instructions from tutorials or sites like iFixit. Just because Apple doesn't sell the 3rd party batteries they put in their phones separately, doesn't mean tons of people haven't done it right (to the point that some can open well desgined storefronts in expensive neighborhoods in Brooklyn). You sound like a total shill. Give me evidence that replacing the battery yourself causes poor battery life. The battery I had taken out looked bad (it was slightly expanded), but the new one didn't give much improvement. Maybe an hour or two more power a day.

    Don't be ridiculous. There are plenty of people still using 3G, 3GS and iPhone 4.  
    You don't be ridiculous. It may not be 100% intentional. I've heard talk about the iOS updates possibly being better designed for the new phones, so they inadvertantly become total power ***** on the older models. But this should be communicated if it is true. And I know tons of iPhone users in NYC. I know 0 who use a 3G or 3GS. And while I know quite a few people still with their 4 like me, 100% of them have horrible battery life.

  • Got problems with iOS7 and home sharing

    Got problems with iOS7 and home sharing music. How do you home share music now. I don't have a airplay button either. It all work fine until I updated

    I too am haing the same problem.
    Oh i have an iphone 4 by the way - if this helps.
    I have updated the itunes to 11 point something (latest as of 19th Sept '13) and still not joy.
    My phone sees the network, then when i try to connect to it in the "Sharing" spot in music, it gives me the rotating icon and then i get "Unable to Home Share at this time".
    I had this problem with the ios 6, which was log out of you apple account, and then turn off the phone -this was supposed to clear all the history and old connection details etc.
    Then restart the phone and re-log into itunes account.
    As i say - that worked last time, but this time, i have no idea what is going on.
    I am looking at reverting back to the ios 6, and waiting for ios 7.1 which to be honest - wont be long away with the amount of issues people are having.

  • HT1414 anyone noticing a decline in battery life after downloading ios7????

    anyone noticing a decline in battery life after downloading ios7?

    I have an iphone 5. Ios 7 is a disaster for battery life! It used to drain about 1% every two hours, 5% over night roughly (not being used). Now it is draining at double the rate. It drained 10% over night and it isn't even doing a thing. I think something is clocking up usage when it's idle.
    Screen brightness is minimal.
    Background app updating is restricted to one app which isn't running the majority of the time.
    Dynamic wall paper and other stupid stuff is all turned off.
    I can't turn off the stupid clock animation. I wonder if working out how that is displayed is the issue???
    It shouldn't be draining at 1% per hour when not even being used.
    Favourite locations is still switched on.
    Is there any benefit in turning off wifi and using 3g data only? I had the issue before that having 3g enabled meant double the battery drain so I only used it when I was out.
    Ipad mini seems fine though. Battery life is same as last ios6 ie about 14-16 hours use.
    I now have caret running to find out what the rogue thing is. The majority of the time few apps are running at all.
    My general average usage is 12-15% per day if lightly used and 25-45% if it is moderately used. Now the phone is draining at 25-33% a day when lightly used!
    Beats me why an ipad mini which is advertised at up to 10 hours on wifi nearly doubles that and the iphone which is advertised at the same rarely reaches it. I usually get 8 hours of active use if I'm lucky. Now it's more like 5-6 which is hopeless.

    You can contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department at no charge using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find an "Email Us" button) and explain your problem to them.

  • I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • Hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing

    hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing & registration process its says error on system mainternance. can you please help me out?
    thank you.

    OK, let's try again. Wind is NOT a supported carrier. In order to use tethering, it must be supported and activated by your carrier for the iPhone. This usually involves an additional fee.  You will have to ask your carrier if they can enable it. Odds are, since they are not a supported carrier, they can not. If you want to use tethering, you will most likely have to switch to a supported carrier that offers this feature on the iPhone.
    A list of supported carriers can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937

  • Problem with ios7. when ending a call the phone redials the last number again and again.

    Dear friends,
    Major problem with ios7 just came up. When ending a call either from headset or the phone itself it keeps redialing the last number. The only way to shut it is to use the home button key and then choose the banner of the active call on the top of the screen and press end call.
    Has anybody encountered the same problem?
