IPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.2) is dying before battery arrives to 0%

Hello all,
I'm having an issue since I updated to iOS 7 (even betas), my phone is turning off just below 10% of battery.
I reseted the phone, also restored as new, even calibrated the battery a couple of times and still having the same issue.
Any suggestions?

I'd just like to say that ahs70's post on Dec 1, 2013 at 1:17am on Pg. 9 worked for me as well.
If your iPhone's battery is acting up you need to determine if it's a software issue or a hardware/battery issue. To do that, after syncing your iPhone, erase/hard reset all data and settings from your iPhone to what it was from the factory as new. This can be found in Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content ansd Settings. Then test it out for a day or two. If it's still acting up then it's likely a hardware issue and you will need to get your battery replaced. If your warranty is done than check out this link to get a battery kit to replace your iPhone battery yourself: http://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-5-Replacement-Battery/IF118-001#produc tDescription
If your IPhone is now working properly after hard resetting it than it's most likely a software issue. This battery issue only started after upgrading to the new iOs7, so it is obviously related to the update not properly installing itself. What has worked for me and many others is to manually update to iOS 7.0.4 using the full downloaded version of the update which is about 1.32 Gigs.
But first you need to find out what model of iPhone you have, click here to determine if it's GSM or CDMA: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Then go here and scroll down to download the iOS 7.0.4 complete update for your device: http://www.downloadios7.org/download-ios-7-0-4-ipsw-file.html
Then scroll up on the download page and follow the instructions of updating your iPhone manually following the instructions below: "IPSW with iTunes"
And your done.
Problem solved.
I only posted this because it was a very frustrating problem that noone really seemed to figure out a solution for.
I hope this helps.

IPhone 6 (iOS 8.1) hot and is draining battery, even on standby.

Greetings Everyone,
I'm having a really bad time here with my iPhone 6 4.7" iOS 8.1 device. It all started a few days ago, i was noticing that only at 100% the battery seemed to be just fine, but once it dropped just 1% of the 100% it would drain to 0% in 10 hours standby time. I thought that was kinda odd, so i decided to completely drain my battery till my device turned off to see if it would help to charge from absolute 0. That didn't fix the problem either, i went online and searched around the web for what might cause high battery drains on the device, and i found that restoring the device as a new device should fix many problems, since many apps for the new iOS seemed to drain the battery quite quick due to some bugs or something. So i did that but with no luck. I tried to turn off all background updates, disable parallels effect and what not, and still the battery drained like a maniac EVEN on standby.
I went on and researched some more, i then came across one of the new features iOS 8 supplied, that is the battery usage feature where you can see your battery usage for each individual app as well as up-time on standby and in use. And this is when i discovered something really odd, even after recovering my phone, setting everything to stock, turning off all connections (AirPlane mode) and turned off effects (parallels) which could cause a slight battery drain, and putting the device on standby - both the standby and usage time showed the same amount of usage of 9 hours and 47 minutes. And yes to no surprise my phone is getting really hot, i can feel it through my pants, heating up my thigh.
I have tried restoring it through DFU mode, through iTunes and i'm pretty much out of ideas on how to solve this problem. Anyone has any idea on what might be causing this and how to fix it? Or should i just go to the store and hope for them to replace my device? :-)

I had the same problem. I realized that it had everything to do with my calendar app. My iCalendar was having a difficult time fetching information from my Outlook and Yahoo Calendar. Causing my battery percentage to decline at a very rapid rate. (50% in a 4 hour time frame). I resolved the problem by going into my Settings >" Messaging , Contact , Calendar" Setting > Clicking on one of my selected Accounts ( Outlook or Yahoo) and turning off the Calendar Sync. The problem seemed to go away after doing this. Now I'm only using 4% battery life in a 4 hour time frame in StandBy Mode. Well I Can only hope that this will help resolve the battery drainage issue. Good Luck ....

My iPhone 5 (ios 7.0.4) has a horrible battery. How can I fix this?

For a few months now, my phone keeps dying at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and today at 70 percent. I don't know why it's been doing this (at first I thought it was from the cold, but it's almost May now and I don't live in a very cold climate). There's been times when it'll die and I'll be able to turn it back on without charging it (and without it being at 0%), but it doesn't allow me to everytime. Also as soon as I plug it in to charge, it'll turn on almost instantly at whatever percent it died at. I don't have app background refresh on, my brightness is at its lowest setting, bluetooth is off, etc. I just don't know what's causing this and the nearest Apple store from me is hours away. Is there any way to fix this?

Update to iOS 7.1.1. Then bring it to an Apple Store if it isn't fixed.

IPhone 5 iOS 6.0.2 battery fix (unofficial.. I think I got it)

I bought the iPhone 5 last week , love the phone .. Battery life was great , didn't use it much though . Never even thought battery life an issue . Updated it to 6.0.2. Immediately noticed decreased battery life. Not what some people claim on this forum of phone dying in 2 hrs (these people probably have a hardware issue or are against apple no matter what ) but my new decreased battery life was more like 6-8 hrs occasional use or more like a shift at work and I need a charge. So I took phone back to place of purchase (only 3 days old) . Got a new one. DID NOT update to 6.0.2 this time. Again battery life was great. About 2 days later , I noticed severe drain , this on 6.0.1. THIS LEADS ME TO BELEIVE IT IS NOT 6.0.2 but the issue resides in 6.0.1. Went online ... Researched the issue . Read forums , posts .. Everything. I also recall terrible battery life on my old 4s as well after going to 6.0.1 . That's the reason why I upgraded to the 5. To get better battery life. But this is not the case.
So after doing absolutely everything ie. reset , reboot, DFU reset , wipe device , restore.. Turned apps off, settings off , location settings etc etc etc. I still had no luck .
My guess is that it's a COMBO of factors when in place TOGETHER and only when TOGETHER trigger the draining battery cascade. That's why its so hard to identify. Once the phone goes into drain mode .. It takes a lot of resets , wipes settings turned on then off.. Ie to catch it and shut it down but when factors come together again.. Battery drainage resumes.. COULD be an app TOGEThER with an setting in the phone... Could be how the phone is used... Ie. iCloud + something else.. The way you charge with certain apps running.. The way you close apps.. Etc. THiS IS WHY SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE ISSUE AND SOME DON'T. ,,!
So not being an apple engineer (none of us are..!) we could only hope to guess or try out different things to figure it out ....
I spent hours( days ) trying different stuff and I feel I might have nailed the magic setting/(s)
Please this is exactily what I did.. .. If it doesn't work, well than 6.1 might be the only help. THIS Worked for me !! In no way I claim what exactly fixes it only this is what I did and all together " exactly " what stopped battery drain. If this helped you like it helped me you could start using your phone the way you want. The way it should be.
Here are my settings:
Wifi :ON
Limit ad tracking : On ( default is off !!)
Diagnostics & Usage : don't send
Battery percentage : ON
sIRI :OFF
cellular data :ON
LTE: on
Use cellular data for iTunes :OFF

Spotlight search: everything OFF
Date& time : set automatically : ON
Auto brightness : ON
Location services: ON (only google maps & find my iPhone) :ON
             On bottom of screen.... System services : EVERYTHING ON!!
iCloud for contacts/ calendars/ reminders / find my iPhone : ON (everything else ... OFF)
iCloud backup :ON
Mail contacts &calanders : PUSH : OFF
                                          :Fetch : HOURLY
                         ON ADVANCED SCREEN: all set to manual !
IMessage : ON
FaceTime :OFF
Safari : reading list Use cellular data : OFF
iTunes and app stores : everything OFF
Music iTunes match :OFF
Photo stream : OFF
Podcasts : sync subscriptions (I have mine on ON .. Use cellular data :OFF
You could experiment ie. by turning mail to push etc... But these are the settings that worked for me. I don't know which one or which COMBO did it .. All I can say is I'm using my phone nicely now. I spent a lot of time on this trying so many combos so if it worked for You feel free to reply back positively or shoot me a PayPal or something:-) couple bucks won't hurt !!!

I agree- I apologize if I sounded skeptical and attacking. In no way did I mean it to sound that way.
I completely agree on the software-hardware combo issue- this is why apple killed off 1G and 2G devices- because newer software revisions would never ever run well if at all on such ancient devices. can you imagine running iOS 6 on an iPhone/iPod touch 1G? That would be terrible. Let alone iOS 3 runs terrible on them and now are generally rendered useless due to newer App Store requirements (most require 4.3+ now to allow apple to kill off the older devices). forcing newer software on older hardware (apple, dell, HP,... Anything electronic this definitely applies to) will almost always yield less-than-par results. The other part is apple forcing you to upgrade by means of intentially making things obsolete. all companies do that.
All of this factual info aside, the issue at hand with the 5 is not a software-hardware combo problem- those are most widely seen with the major revisions. then again, this isn't the first time apple has gotten caught up in battery drain snafus (even iOS 5 was plagued with this as well- and now there are some people desperate to roll back but can't). it basically waters it down to the point where keeping the stock software will always yield the best results even though newer versions provide better features- it all depends on whether or not the person deems the added features are worth a performance hit.
PS. I'm still at 100%- and I've been using it periodically throughout the day. your combo worked for you, but didn't for me. And may or may not work for others- As the tech world would say, mileage may vary.
PSS. What model/carrier do you have? Just wondering.

IPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4 issues with Battery consistency

Hello
I'm currently having issues with my iPhone 5 and it's battery. I have noticed that since the update to iOS 7 my phone will say it has eg. 15%, 20% left of my battery but will then turn off as if there is no battery left. Also sometimes it says that 1% is left but it lasts a couple of hours.
I'm finding that the battery percentage on the screen of my iPhone does not seem to reflect the amount of battery life actually left.
Has anyone else had this issue and could you please advise how it can be fixed? Should I take it back to the apple store? My phone is less than a year old.
Thank you

reset your device
Note: no data will be lost.
If the issue isn't resolved, let the device completely discharge. Let the battery die. Subsequently, plug it back in and charge it up to 100%. This process is known as calibration.

cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

IPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) Won't Sync Movies

My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) stopped syncing videos a few days ago, and removed all the videos I did have on it. Everything else is syncing fine. I double checked that my iOS 5.0.1 & iTunes software (10.5.1) are both up to date. The same goes for my MacBook Pro OS X Version 10.7.2.
iTunes seems normal as if it synced fine, but the "video" app on my iPhone says "No Videos. You can download videos from iTunes." And when I search for specific movies on my phone, none is found. I did a master reboot on my phone, but am hesitant to restore my phone, too, because I always have to re-arrange apps afterwards. Apparetnly, iTunes will remember every setting about my phone except app folders.
Even though this is an Apple problem, it refuses to help me at all, because my phone is already a few months old. Any help from you would be appreciated.
Many thanks!

I have exactly the same issue iTunes 10.5.1 / iPhone 4s (iOS 5.0.1) - impacts Movie and TV Show synch in the same way as described above.

IPhone 4S iOS 7 not syncing - stuck on "determining apps to sync"

Hello all:
My upgrade to iOS 7 started out smoothly enough, but now I have a problem. When I attempt to sync via USB, I get to step 3, "Determining apps to sync," and the sync doesn't go any further. I've tried it a couple of times now, and my current attempt is at 20+ minutes of just sitting there at the same status. Clicking the x in the status box doesn't cancel the sync. I have to force quit (or disconnect) for it to stop.
In the process, my contacts and calendars were erased on my phone, but are still in iCloud. I don't think anything else is missing. All of my apps in iTunes are up to date.
System info:
iPhone 4s
iOS 7.0.2
OSX 10.8.5
iTunes 11.1.1
I can't think of anything else to share. Is there any hope of getting out of this loop? Thanks!

This is very irritating I have a new iMac ($5000) an New ipad ($1000) when I sync the ipad to iTunes I get stuck at "determining apps to sync". I cant even shut down the iMac. I thought apple didnt make junk. ***
