IPhone 5 battery draining after iOS 6.0.2 update even on standby mode without wifi/ 3G at all.

My newly bought iPhone 5 was on iOS 6.0.1
everything worked fine and i had no wifi nor battery issues at all until I upgraded it to iOS 6.0.
i noticed some battery drainage even when i'm not using my phone at all it still drains 1-2% on standby mode with no wifi nor 3G at all in an hour,
If i use wifi it'll drain 4-5% in a few minutes time, more serious case when i use 3G, it's literally draining in EVERY SINGLE MINUTE.

Per designed, Wi-Fi will disconnect in sleep mode to save battery.
If you want Wi-Fi to stay connected even in sleep mode, plugin to a wall power socket.
No it's not "per design". It's not supposed to disconnect when locked/in sleep mode. The whole concept of having live notifications to work when your phone is locked is the standard for smartphones. Having this feature only accessable when pluging/charging the phone is rediculous and counter-productive. But it's good to know that I'm not the only one who has this issue. I hope all our issues are solved swiftly, good luck to you all

IPad 2 battery drain after iOS 5.0.1 update!!!

iPad 2 battery is draining way too fast after the 5.0.1 update - I've lost over 10% just browsing the apple site over wifi for about 10 minutes - with no other apps running. NOT ACCEPTABLE APPLE!!!
Same issue with my iPhone 4 that went from 62% when I went to bed last night to completely dead this morning - unused!!
Apple - roll 5.0 back out to replace this battery leech. I need to be able to actually USE my products.

Same issue here! I've been reading on my fully-charged iPad and the battery is down to 78%. Never did this before the latest update. Yesterday, iPad quit before my usual evening reading! Any solutions!
I have personally seen the problem and corrected it on numerous models now including the 4S, 4, 3GS and iPad 2s. Corrupt system level settings created by an iOS 5 bug in the original release that caused battery recalibration issues, etc. Just installing the update does not fix the issue in most cases (sometime it initially can be worse). You need to clear out those settings and recalibate the battery. For those still having the "standby battery drain" issue follow the procedure below in order. It does fix the problem in most cases.
Go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
2. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). At this point, Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd
4. Fully discharge battery (tilll it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
In my experience this improves the Standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases. It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple. Good Luck!

Iphone 4s battery melts after ios 7.1

Last Friday I've upgraded to IOS 7.1. especially after learning that the upgrade is especially helpful for iphone 4s,
Yes it fastens the device but the battery "melts"
I've searched the issue from the web and applied all the suggestions to improve battery life after ios 7.1.
If I don't use internet facilities (even wi-fi) its OK, no problem,
But from the moment I begin to use wi-fi or cellular its like a count down 95-94-93-92...., feel really bad about it,
Now I just use it as a "phone" not a smart phone,
If a want to use it as a "smart phone" it is no longer a mobile- I shoul use it with battery charger,
Hope a fix will come as soon as possible,

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
If this doesn't help, back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in your backup file or maybe it's one of your apps causing problems. If it continues, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

Iphone 4 is rebooting after ios 7.1.1 update

Hi,
My Iphone 4 is rebooting and shutting down frequently after ios 7.1.1 update, daily not able to receive calls as it is in shutdown mode and trying to reboot also taking more time, Can some one suggest me the best solution for this problem???

Hi Sekhar_Nutakki,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend these steps if your iPhone is shutting down or restarting unexpectedly:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Pandora battery drain after ios 8.1

I've been using Pandora for quite a long time. I usually leave 1 earbud in and stream music all during my work day.
This has historically used 30-50% of my battery during a 9.5 hour shift.
Since IOS 8.1, Pandora has gotten insanely battery hungry. Since 8.1, my battery generally dies around 4p.
After 4.5 hours of streaming today, my battery is at 48%. Typically, it would still be in the 60s-70s at this time.
Usage shows Pandora taking 69% of the battery power, so it's definitely something between IOS 8.1 and the Pandora App.
Note: I did not have this problem on *any* previous version of IOS. 8.0.2 worked just fine.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? The sole change was IOS 8.1, although I do not know if it's the culprit or Pandora.
Thanks for any insight..

Same here. Listened to Pandora on iPhone 6 on vacation while driving (up to 8 hours per day) no problem. Battery drain about same as with previous iPhone 5 (can actually listen for 7-8 hours without going below 30%).
Updated to 8.1 on Sunday, phone went from 100% at 7 a.m. to 50% 40 minutes later during my morning commute and when I picked up phone it was extremely hot to the touch.
I guess I don't get the "fix" that Pandora is working on (daddydev). shouldn't Apple be the ones working on the fix to their 8.1 update, not the app developer?
When I contacted Apple support, they seemed unaware of the problem. Maybe we are the only 4 iPhone owners who use Pandora? I don't think so.....

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.

How to fix iPhone 4s battery drain on iOS 5.0.1

Please Read this entire post for my fix
FIRST OF ALL I MUST SAY THAT THE BATTERY THE 4S IS A BEAST!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to add two steps to this. I am a pure believer davidch you are unto something. I did all your steps and i went from 100% to 81% in two and a half hours...I was saying to myself "this mess don't work!" lol....BUT I decided to do a little investigating on my own.
I looked at my usage meter and realized that the actual USAGE TIME and STANDBY TIME were only 13 mins apart. However i knew for a fact the phone was sitting on the couch WITH THE SCREEN TURNED OFF next to me for 2 and a half hours. I may have picked it up once or twice after receiving a text and perhaps sending a text or two but that's it! My approximate REAL usage was around 5-10 mins.
Even tho I looked up in the top right corner and did not see the gps symbol, I was still curious. So i pulled up my multitasking menu (double tap home button) and noticed that after the reset there were multiple apps still available to be selected from. Not a surprise because we did a settings reset and not a complete content reset. My whole idea was to selectively remove app by app from the list until i found the culprit that was running in the background causing this fiasco (our fiasco).
IT WORKED!! I narrowed it down to the camera app. Which happened to be the last one that I eliminated. Then i started seeing the difference between my usage and standby meter grow larger and better even tho i was checking frequenly (about every 15 mins). I CLOSED THE CAMERA APP AT 12:30PM TODAY. At this time my battery has dropped down to 77%. AT 2:00 MY BATTERY LEVEL IS AT 76% What an improvement!!!!!!!! But was the camera app the problem??? NO NO NO NO NO
My guess is after the settings wipe all apps that were running ended up in a crash loop. Because after that i opened up all the apps that were running previously plus some extras and as of 2:41PM THE IPHONE IS STILL AT 76%. With approx. 3hrs of usage and over 5hrs of standby now. With about 20 apps running including the camera app!
I also did turn off siri raise to speak and did a reboot. Because after turning off RTS the infrared sensor on the front stays enabled until a reboot is executed. So here are my steps mixed with davidch's that worked for me.
For anyone new to the thread be sure to go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
2 a. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
2 b. If you do not get the complete new setup screen with language setup and setup as new phone or restore from iTune/iCloud backup, be sure to go back to #1 and reset all settings again (it should happen the second time)
3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd (settings -> location services -> system services)
4. Fully discharge battery (until you get the spinning wheel and it shuts off)
5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
6. Go to General->Siri....turn raise to speak off
7. Hold power and home together for a few seconds until the apple logo shows up. (Reboot)
8. Double tap home button exit all apps running and you should be good to do...
i didnt reboot after step 8 but maybe you should if you have a sprint or verizon iphone. 2:55 AND I AM STILL AT 76% I think i am in love all over again!!!!

IPhone 5 battery drain since iOS 8.2 update

hello,
my name is Udi, from Israel.
i have an iPhone 5 which i purchased in June 2013.
since the beginning, i have always kept the battery saving "rules", including correct charging of a lithium ion battery, auto-brightness off, reduce motion on, push notifications off, background app refresh off, cellular data off when not in use, etc. etc.
since updating to iOS 8, my battery life has decreased a little. but since updating to iOS 8.2 a few days ago, i have experienced, what is in my standards, a serious battery drain. e.g. when i sleep, with my iPhone on airplane mode at night battery decreases by ~15%.
i have tried everything, including restoring the phone and using a backup.
what can i do?
will a restore from scratch (without using a backup) help?
thanks in advance =)

If this does not help, get your phone checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place, or contact Apple Support and talk to them. They can check the battery online.
You can also visit this page to do that: iPhone - Contact Support - Apple Support
Click on Apple Support, then on ->Battery, Power &Charging ->Battery questions and troubleshooting, and follow the instructions.

Battery drain after IOS 6 update

I and my 3 family members and two fellow employees have all noticed that since upgrading to IOS 6 on our cellphones we have had the following issues;
1. Massive battery drain
2. Battery heat-up during recharge with the phone on but not being used.
3. Lost data
With the phone on and not being used - the charge level drops much faster. I used to go the whole day on one charge and recharge at 10 pm with 30 - 40% of the charge left. Since the IOS 6 upgrade I'm recharging at 4pm with a 10% charge remaining on the phone .
Also - recharging the phone while it is on (but not in use) causes noticible battery heat-up.
Again - this was not the case for any of the 6 of us prior to downloading IOS 6
My conclusion is that there are aspects of this new operating system that use a lot more battery juice than the previous IOS 5.1.1
This significantly increased demand on the battery is showing up as much less operating time and battery heat-up during recharging.
Anybody else experiencing these issues ?

Got onto Apple Teckies yesterday & spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with a very helpfull bloke
that went through everything.
At this stage my phone has been reinstalled with iOS 6 as a New Phone (Like a test mode) so NONE
of my APP's or Settings only my Contacts from iCloud (As a New phone would come out of the box).
... From the time we finished uploading the iOS 6 softwear untill now my phone has only used 40%
battery so it's looking good.
If this works I then have to conect my phone with my iTunes & Reinstall from my Back Up to get all
My App's & Settings back.
... Then we will see if it has worked.
... Will let you all know what happens in the next 48 Hours.

Is anyone else having problems with their battery life after IOS 7.1 software update?

After the software update IOS 7.1, my iPhone 5 battery life has been terrible. I've turned off all push notifications and location services (basically everything that would affect the battery life). I've done an optimization test and have restored my iPhone and lowered my brightness. My phone has been standby for 5 hours and it's at 54%. Before IOS 7.1, it lasted the entire day before it even hit 50%. I just wanted to know if anyone else is having the same issue. I really don't know if it's the software or the battery itself.

Mines fine, I did a hard reset after the update and with both bluetooth and wifi and celluar data on I am geting slightly better battery life on my iPhone 5s. right now Im at 83% with 1 hour and 24 mins useage and 1 day 14 hours standbye. Siome apps leach battery life so check whats using background app refresh and notifications, apps like facebook and also GPS useage suck your phone dry quickly.

IPhone no longer works after iOS 5.0.1 update

My iPhone 4 no longer recognizes its SIM card after updating from iOS 5.0 to 5.0.1.
I followed the instructions in the article on the official Apple support site. Removing and reinserting the SIM card did not help, so I used iTunes to reset the iPhone.
The result is that after switching on, the iPhone tells me that there is no SIM card in the slot (even if there there is) and that I should insert a SIM card with no PIN lock into the slot.
I do not have a SIM card with no PIN lock.
My phone company only distributes SIM cards with a PIN lock.
What can I do now?

I had this issue too. I did an OTA update.
I tried turning off my iPhone, removed and reinserted my SIM and turning it on again a few times without success. I also inserted my wife's SIM, it was OK. When I tried with mine again, it was not. I also tried going in and out of Airplane Mode too without success.
Afte a bit of trial and error, I finally got it to work.
What I did was:
1. Turn off WIFI.
2. Turn off my iPhone.
3. Removed and reinserted my SIM.
4. Turned on my iPhone. Almost immediately I saw the "3G" indicator and after a couple of seconds, my SIM worked!
5. Turned WIFI back on.
From my issue, it seems the iOS 5.0.1 update got "confused" with the network setup.

My iPhone no longer syncs after iOS 5.0.1 update.

I have an iPhone 3GS (16GB), and ever since I updated to iOS 5.0.1 it has been refusing to sync via USB and WIFI. Apparently it needs an additional 8.32GB of space, despite the fact that nothing's changed with regards to the content being synced. I've attached a screenshot for reference.
Thanks in advance for your help.
