Iphone 5 battery problems since ios 6.1 update

Hi, Just sent my iphone 5 back to apple after poor battery life since did ios 6.1 update, has anybody else had this problem?
Also Apple say they are sending me a replacement unit, is this new or refurb?

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.

IPod touch Battery Problems Since iOS 7 was installed last year.

Hello, I've had recurring battery problems with my iPod touch since the iOS 7 update was installed, and I find myself having to charge my iPod touch (5th Generation) a lot more frequently since I installed this update.
On iOS 6, I had never experienced any problems with the iPod touch's battery, as I was able to let the battery drain down completely, and let it charge for 4 hours (recommended). After the iPod touch was fully charged for 4 whole hours, I was able to unplug the lightning cable, and the iPod touch on its own would last a few days to at least a week or two weeks.
On iOS 7, since it saw its general release on the 18th September last year, I have found that the iPod's battery has drained so bad, that it dies too quickly, and when I put the iPod touch on charge, in almost an hour, the iPod touch tells me that it is 100% charged. However, when I take the iPod touch off its charge after it fully charges for that hour, it quickly drains down again.
I have gone through the standard procedure of restoring my iPod touch to its factory settings, and I have seen absolutely no improvement on the battery life whatsoever. I mainly back up whatever is on my iPod touch (I back up pictures, videos and also transfer updates that I have installed for certain apps onto iTunes), though I have seen how some people have backed up the data on their iPod's or iPhones, only they find their iDevice draining so quickly.
Even turning off certain features in the Settings app to improve the battery life doesn't help, as there is almost no difference that solves the problems I'm currently having with the iPod touch's battery.
I recently heard about the free iPhone battery replacement program which is now available, so I'm starting to worry whether I have to pay for a new replacement battery for my iPod touch.
Your help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
Many kind regards,
Alex Smithson

I mainly charge the iPod touch itself for four hours and it still doesn't make a difference. I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years and since I installed iOS 7, it still doesn't make a difference.
I was wondering, if the article you have provided doesn't sort the problems with the battery out, is there another alternative??
Your help and advice is most appreciated.
Many kind regards,

IPhone 4S 64GB - Problems since iOS 6.0 and now worse upon 6.1 attempt

Hello,
It seems there are many who have been having trouble after updating to iOS 6.1.
My issue is similar, but has been going on and only gotten worse today. I have an iPhone 4S (which is unfortunately out of AppleCare warranty) that has (ever since upgrading to iOS 6.0) been randomly shutting off, and native apps have been crashing. This essentially renders the phone unusable as it is so frequent. To resolve, I had tried restoring from backup (which updated the software to iOS 6.0.1), restoring from clean install without restoring from backup, and then ultimately taking it to Apple store A (I use the terms A & B to represent two apple stores which I brought the phone to, out of convenience to where I was located on each day) where they connected the phone and their computer wouldn't even recognize it in standard mode. They then placed it into DFU mode and did a clean install with restore from backup which resulted in a recognizable piece of hardware. They then told me the battery and harware all appeared to be functioning normally according to their diagnostics tests they ran on the computer. They further stated it was definitely a software issue, and that there must have been some sort of error during the upgrade installation. I left there hopeful and optimistic, and it continued to have the same problems not even 30 minutes later. It then asked me to connect it to iTunes, so I had. At that point the phone did another clean install and appeared to be stuck in the DFU restore loop. I attempted to restore it on two different PC computers to no avail. I wound up taking it to Apple store B, where they then plugged it in and did a clean restore in DFU mode, stating that all they had to do was plug it in to get it out of the DFU mode, completing the one cycle. Again, they stated all diagnostics were clean and hardware was in perfect working order. Again, I returned home, only to have problems resume in about 30 minutes. The phone has been rather useless since for about the last week or so.
Today, I decided that since iOS 6.1 had been released, it couldn't hurt to give it a try and update the software, hoping my problems may have been answered in the form of a bug fix. Well, regretably, it could and did get worse. During the upgrade process to 6.1, I received the error "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred. It continues to do this each and every time I attempt the restore, and returns the iphone screen to the connect to itunes view. Throughout the many times I have attempted the restore, I have gotten the above error message with codes (9) and (26). It is now stuck in the recovery mode. I have tried the restore to 6.1 from 3 different computers, trying all USB ports on each. I have Symantec NIS 2013 installed on all computers, which I tried updating and disabling to no avail. After working on it for several hours, I am at a loss for what to do. Any suggestions (aside from the fact that I need to get a Mac lol... as soon as I can afford the 15" MBPwR...) for what I can do or try? As I mentioned earlier, the phone is out of AppleCare warranty... :-/
In advance, I greatly appreciate anyone's input.

Have almost identicle situation going, totally screws my day for I have appointments to keep and important calls to make...this *****

Iphone 5 battery problem with iOS 7

I am experiencing horrible battery time since I upgraded to iOS 7. I feel like I'm down to almost 60% of battery power. Anyone else experiencing battery power issues with their iPhone 5 and the new iOS?

Strangely enough, the phone seem to have stabilized by itself, as if it had to learn my ways before getting back to normal. I did turn off some notifications, as well as some localizations, but that did not have any effect on my battery. After 2-3 recharges though it's now back to normal.
@razmee209, Thanks for your help.

Battery problems since 10.4.3 update?

I know that there a quite a few threads about battery problems, but has anybody experienced significant decreases in battery life after installing the 10.4.3 update? I installed it a few days ago and I'm noticing now that my battery life is much worse than it used to be.
For example, I was just watching a movie on my iBook. Before I started, my battery was FULLY charged, and Energy Saver was set for "Better Battery Life". I had airport turned off and left the screen brightness at default.
My battery died within 40 MINUTES! I had the sound turned up a little bit but I don't think that would drain enough power to reduce my batter life to 40 minutes when set for "better battery life"....
My battery's less than 2 years old.
Anyone else had similar problems since last OS update?

I just found a useful util called CoconutBattery 1.3 available from :
http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/index.html
Running the app - gives me this info on my battery's state:
current & max capacity: 828mAh
Orginial Capacity: 4400mAh
Battery load cycles: 461
The battery according to this app shows that at max charge it only has 18% of its orginial capacity.

Iphone 4s battery problem with ios 8.1

I actualized my iphone 4s with ios 8.1 and the battery dures 8-10 hours, meanwhile with ios 8.0 dured more than a day with the same use. I turn on the phone at 8:00am with full battery and at 6:00pm the battery has less than %10 charge. Could ios 8.1.1 fix this problem?

Thanks for the help. I've tried to do what the instructions of the blog says, but I can't see the battery ussage and standby information. I don't know why, before the instalation of ios 8.1. I saw this information... What can I do to see it again?

IPhone 6 email problem since iOS 8.2

Hi all,
I currently have three email accounts on my phone, two exchange emails for work and a hotmail for personal emails. I upgraded to iOS 8.2 at the weekend and everything had been working fine until they stopped synching this morning. After reading up for reasons on this I decided to delete the accounts and try to install them again. This has worked for the Hotmail accounts but I now can not even add the Exchange accounts.
Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone have any tips? I have tried to reset the network settings and this has also proved unsuccessful.
Many Thanks
Pete

Hi Pete1436,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that after deleting your Exchange accounts from you iPhone, you are having difficulty setting them back up. To ensure the proper set up steps are being followed, I would suggest reading over and working through the steps provided in the attached article.
Set up Exchange ActiveSync on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Best regards,

Problem since ios 8.3 update. Please help

Hello everyone I'm new to here but I need help. I have had an iPhone since the original 2g and have always been happy as they have always worked and done what I needed. I even upgraded to the iPhone 6 128gb but found myself using my old 5s 64gb more and more so sold the iPhone 6 and was perfectly happy using the 5s. Then I updated to iOS 8.3. The fault I'm having is that I can no longer make Bluetooth calls. my phone connects to any Bluetooth device and even will play music and is controllable using said Bluetooth devices but when I make a call it goes silent, if I then press the audio key and select either iPhone or speaker the call is there. I have tried different devices all have the same problem. I have tried my wife's phone and it works perfectly on the same devices. I carried out a iTunes restore and set up as a new device, and still it didn't work. So then made and appointed with the Genius Bar at my nearest Apple Store which is over an hours drive away so drove up yesterday and tried to explain my issue but I felt that although the guy was very nice and friendly wasnt really interested or understood what my fault was. So he then carried out a restore using one of there macs and that should be ok now and have a nice day. I asked what would be my recourse if this didn't fix my fault and was told I would just have to buy a new device and then was offered a new contract. I have since tried my phone and still is the same. I drive a lot for work and need the phone to connect to my car kit. Can anyone help or advise. I am really disappointed in Apple with this.

For others who have this same problem, before using deggie's solution, which is more drastic since it will force you to lose all pairings and wi-fi passwords, first try this: On the iPhone go to Settings>Bluetooth, then forget your JBL pairing. Then with the JBL Flip, turn it on by hitting the power button once, then put it into pairing mode by holding the power button down until it flashes red and blue alternately. You should see the pairing established on you iPhone. If the iPhone asks for a pairing code (it may not), it is 0000.

Problems since ios 6 - software update

Hi - Just updated iphone 4s with latest software and when I go on to the "App Store" app I cn use the updates, search and featured tabs but when I press try to use the "Categories" or "Top 25" tab the phone tells me "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Many thanks.

I had this Problem and Fixed it by Settings,General,Time & Date "Turn Off Set Automatically"
Click Set Date & Time and Set the Month to October.
Restart your iphone, when its back on open the Passbook App Click at the Bottom 'App Store"
When it opens Close the App Back to above Settings,General,Time & Date "Turn On Set Automatically"
Restart again and you should be able to use the App Store.
Worked for me so Good Luck

When I send a PDF by email the recipient sees only a blank form on the iPhone and iPad. This has only occurred since IOS 7 was updated

When I send a PDF attachment by email the recipient sees only a blank unfilled form. This has only occurred since IOS 7 was updated. The email with the PDF when recieved by my MAC is OK, but my phone and iPad are not!
Any advise would be appreciated.

I have the same problem. Sought to insert a pdf into Apple Mail after editing a form pdf and only the blank form shows. I didn't use Preview to generate the form, just Acrobat. And, the filled in form inserts perfectly into an email when I use Outlook for Mac. Problem only with Apple Mail.

Autofill autocomplete does not work in Safari on 3gs since ios 6.01 update

I have tried many fixes but cannot get autofill autocomplete to work on Safari since ios 6.01 update. Any other fixes?

I also have the same Exact Problem, only your explanition appears more technical and understandable. This problem appears more severe on YouTube.com videos and alike, however it is also severly choppy and problematic on other sites. Surprisingly Live Broadcast videos work better than not Live videos, however this is not something I'd like when my data isn't throttled yet. I crosstested it to see if there is any issues on my iPhone 4S (iOS 6, last version) and Galaxy S4 (Android Kit Kat, last version on S4) and there is no issues on those devices so it is an iOS 8(+0.1/0.2) and iOS 8.1 problem and I am 100% confident about it.
I do think it is the video player's problem with Websites and Webstreaming. There is no problems playing music videos on my device's storage. I didn't get that many error messages but it just doesn't play properly on Safari and Chrome, like what you are experiencing too. I may go ahead and report it too because it is gotten to a point where it is annoying to watch videos. It is not just an over 4G (+ or - LTE) only issue, it is also via Wifi even so it is a tad better. I can't tolerate playing a video 15 seconds in, have to wait 15 more seconds for it to play, it plays to 0:35 then I have to wait 15 more seconds. Even a 240p video, it does it so, it is clearly not a tolerable bug. I don't have a work around so far (tried everything from reset to wipe the phone and reinstall all the apps).
My Device is an iPhone 6+ with iOS 8.1 (yes, it is not just exclusive to the iPhone 5S. I assume it also effects the iPhone 6 based on technical specifications).

Cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update. Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update. Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

Hi mike,
Seems like a frustrating problem! Try restarting your device, and trying again. If that doesn't work, in settings, under store, tap your apple id at the bottom of the page, and then sign out. Sign back in again, and try again.
Also, check you have enough remaining space on your iPad for the app you want to download, you can do this in settings, then general, then usage.
I also reccomend buying the app in iTunes on your computer, and then syncing it to your device.
Let me know how you get on, and I'll get back to you with further help if needed,
Nathan
