Iphone 5s battery performance

I am very happy with my iphone 5s battery performance when it is on ios 7.0.5, standby time can reach 20 hours   with usage time of 4 hours   after every full charged. But, after updating to ios 7.0.6, the battery life became very poor, even now with 7.1 also same problem!!
Please, i want to have the previous battery performace.

One thing to check is Settings > Bluetooth.  The update process turns it on.  Turn it off if you don't use it.

  • How to properly use iphone 5s battery performance

    Will my iphone 5s battery performance still be at maximum (full performance and capacity) if I charge it at any percent like 57%? I always thought charging it any time will weaken the battery life so i'll have to charge it more frequently as time goes by.
    Also, is charging my iphone 5s in the car and/or through a computer the same thing as charging through an outlet?

    No. The iPhone wall adapter supplies 1 amp. Most computers and built-in car usb ports only supply 1/2 amp. So it will take twice as long to charge using those. And, if the iPhone is actively being used (such as using it as a GPS in a car) it won't charge at all, because the battery will be draining as fast as it is charging.
    You can get higher current adapters for cars (I just got an InCase 2.4 amp car adapter yesterday at an Apple store), and some newer computers can supply 1 amp (including all Macs since 2011). There is no iPhone  benefit to an adapter that supplies more than 1 amp because the charging circuit in the phone limits the charge rate to 5 watts (1 amp @ 5 volts). An iPad, however, can use up to 2.1 amps (12 watts).

  • IOS 8 update causing drastic decline in iPhone 5 battery performance.

    Since the IOS 8 update, my iPhone 5's battery performance has drastically declined. Anyone else having this issue?

    does the battery monitor not tell u what is using it? go into settings for it.
    dunno where your based but in the uk we have 4g but not everywhere so with 4g enabled on the phone it keeps searching for a better signal so turn that off. Try turning off mobile data when your not using it to see if that prolongs the battery. Like an issue I have if there is a data connection issue then the phone will be doing a lot of "trying to connect" and using up battery fast.

  • IOS 5.0.1 - Made my iPhone 4S battery performance worse!

    I upgraded my iphone 4S to the 5.0.1 release today. However, I've noticed that my battery life has actually gotten worse since I upgrade. For example, I've been home for approximately 30 minutes and my battery has gone down in 8%. In the 30 minutes, I had a 30 second phone call and sent 3 text messages. I am connected to our wi-fi (which is a strong connection) and I have re-started my phone.
    Please let me know if anyone else is having any issues!?!!?
    Apple - Can you please fix the iphone 4s battery issues? I might as well go get a 4g android phone if the battery life remains this poor.

    Hmmm. It actually worked for me. My phone was loosing 5%/hr on standby in iOS 5.0 with everything enabled, location services, etc. 5.0.1 decreased that to 1%/hr.
    Background Processes:
    I also killed all the background procs. All the procs that are running in the backgraound are restarted in the background even after a reboot. Is this a feature? It seems to me a reboot of the iPhone should kill all background procs and they should only be restarted again opon manually selecting the application. When I first checked the background procs by double clicking the home button, there were 50 or so running. Everything that I had started since buying the iPhone was a background process. This is possibly the difference between users. If some users have procs running in the background that aren't actuallly sleeping, but are chewing up cpu cycles and battery... there ya go. It all depends on the app, who wrote it, and how well it behaves. I for one obtained better battery life by killing these procs.

  • IPhone 4S Poor Battery Performance SOLVED!!

    iPhone 4S Poor Battery Performance SOLVED!!
    I found the issue with the iPhone 4S battery performance.
    I bought 2 iPhone 4S models on the first day. One for my wife and one for me. The strange thing was that mine would kill the battery in 4-6 hours and ran VERY WARM to the touch. My wife's phone worked great. It was cold to the touch. She would forget to charge it at night... and the battery performance was great... even better than our prior 3GS models.
    What was the difference? I have my phone connected to Exchange for my corporate email. But exchange is not exactly the problem. The issue is in Notification Center. For some reason, I had hundreds of calendar reminders that kept refreshing on notification center. Furthermore, the reminders would flicker between the time remaining and the start time for the event at such a fast rate that it could not be read... (clearly a bug)
    What is the solution? Go to Settings>Notifications>Calendar and disable Notification Center. You can still have the "alert style" set to Banners, or Alerts and you will still receive notices about your events, but it will not BUILD a summary in the Notification Center drop down screen. This is where the BUG exists. [Oddly, this does not affect my iPad 2, but is an issue for iOS 5 on the iPhone (different builds, maybe?)]
    So, it appears that Notification Center has an endless loop in collecting the calendar events from Exchange and this is burning up our 4S batteries. Once you stop the madness from Notification Center, your iPhone 4S will perform as advertised.
    Enjoy!

  • Iphone4 battery performance...

    hi
    im a new user so im just checking iphone 4 battery performance...
    To be honest I expected a little bit more from this point of view...
    I got a brand new phone and the the first full battery charge lasts 24 hours...
    wifi and 3g mode-on but I made only few calls and internet searches...
    What's the real standard?
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html

    I'm afraid so does Damon.  The iPhone has a Lithium-Polymer battery, which does does suffer any of the problems of NiCads or NiMH batteries.  You can recharge the battery at any time, regardless of what its current charge is. It is impossible to overcharge it, it's a SMART phone it's sitting in.
    A lot of apps are never open: 
    http://whenwillapple.com/blog/2010/04/19/iphone-os-4-multitasking-explained-agai n/
    Why worry about the backlight? Life is too short.  I offer you the only iPhone battery rule you will ever need:
    If it's flat, charge it until it works. More if you like.

  • IPhone G3 Battery and Performance Issues

    I have a 16GB iPhone G3 (OS 3.1.2). It's only about 6 months old though it is the 4th iPhone G3 I've had since Sept '08. The others have been replaced by Apple for battery failure, modem failure and inability to stay 'connected' to a charging device even when physically still attached to the charger.
    I have over 8GB of free space, Push is turned off, WiFI is turned off 99% of the time, and I don't have any major apps that might use up a lot of the battery or CPU cycles.
    Ever since the 3.0 or 3.1 update:
    * My battery performance is only about 1/3 of it's previous performance. I've charged it from two different Macs as well as the car charger but still get horrible horrible battery life. It has simply made the device undependable while I am away from a charger.
    * My iPhone is regularly unresponsive. Sometimes for only 3 - 5 seconds, other times for up to 30 - 60 seconds. This happens whether or not the iPod is playing, whether or not Mail is downloading and even when nothing else at all is being used. This happens repeatedly throughout the day.
    Many times all the input events are buffered so it tries to perform them all once when the phone comes out of its stupor. Other times nothing at all happens once it revives.
    Several times a week I need to power it off just to get it to work again.
    * A few times a week applications don't load or quit properly:
    - Mail may load the header & footers but not the body of the app. None of the software controls work. Quitting the app and relaunching it does not resolve the problem - only a shutdown/restart does.
    - The green 'Return to Call' bar will stick around after a call is over and can only be removed by placing another call, leaving the phone app, touching the green bar to return to the call and then ending the call.
    - Maps loads the header & footer and a portion of the screen. None of the software controls work. Quitting the app and relaunching it sometimes resolves the problem but not always.
    - After some calls end the entire screen appears 'disabled' and the 'Home' button doesn't work. This usually requires a restart to correct.
    - The iPod will stop or stutter while some other process is running such as checking for mail or loading another app. What good is an iPod that can't play dependably while I use the device for other things?
    - I drop so many calls that if 'calls' were 'passes' my iPhone could play for the NY Knicks. I suspect it's probably an AT&T coverage issue though I would hope the NYC metro area would have better coverage than this.
    * Bluetooth just turns off all by itself. I have to go into the Settings and turn bluetooth back on. This happens with all three of the bluetooth headsets that I use.
    ~
    The phone is acting like it occasionally has a 'race' condition that is eating up the CPU cycles. It is so often and so unpredictable that I cannot pinpoint what the cause is.
    All this is very frustrating and tempting me to revert back to version 2 of the OS. I'm not happy at the thought of losing Copy & Paste but I certainly lose more time waiting for the device to decide to gets its act together than I would re-typing everything I copy & paste.
    I've considered going back to the Apple store again for another replacement but I have little confidence that #5 will be my lucky iPhone. I'm not sure why the quality has been so 'un-apple like' but I'm 0 - 4 with iPhones even though I treat them with care. Since this dismal performance appears to coincide with either the 3.0 or 3.1 update I'm not convinced it's even a hardware problem this time.
    As much as I depend on the phone & e-mail to run my business I can't rely on this iPhone at all.
    James

    I'd try to get a new one if you can. Hopefully it will come with 3.0 or older. Everything after 3.0 killed battery life.
    With version 2.0, using edge + Wifi, I was able to get 2.5 to 3 days with light usage. When I upgraded to 3.0, I got the same 2.5 - 3 days with light usage. My phone definately lagged a lot more due to installing new apps. However, I found if I turned on either push notifications or location services, my battery would last at most 5 hours, even if i wasn't using my phone.
    Just a month ago, we got 3G coverage in my town. I was hesitant to use it since battery life was already not stellar, but after testing it, I found I could use 3G and have push notifications on all the time and still get 2 - 3 days of battery. The only changes I made was I deleted about 1.5 gigabytes of old podcasts and I changed my mail settings from fetch manually to fetch off. I always noticed before my mail would try to fetch itself several times during the day even though it was set to fetch manual and it was wasting battery by doing this.
    I should mention that 3.0 did not make my battery life worse than 2.0, but I've read 3.1 and newer really kill battery life. I still suggest 3.0 over 2.0 since you get push services. I also didn't have many dropped calles on 2.0 or 3.0. I do notice that voicemails are lagged on 3.0, sometimes by a few minutes, other times by a few hours
    Hope this helps you.

  • Wat is best ios for iphone 3g as far as battery performance is concerned?

    wat is best ios for iphone 3g as far as battery performance is concerned?

    According to tests done in the wild iOS4 lasted 5% longer than iOS3 (about 10 minutes). Not much of a notible difference. Best bet is to upgrade your phone. A 3Gs on iOS4 ran more than 30 minutes longer on the same test.

  • IPhone 5 Gaming Battery Performance

    Hello all,
    Just wondering how everyone is going with their iphone 5 and gaming battery performance.
    I did a test last night with Fifa 13, which is pretty graphics intensive, to see how long the battery would last.
    The phone went from 28% to 1% in 58 minutes of solid non stop gaming giving it about 3.5 hours of gaming time. Does this sound good to everyone? What kind of life are you getting?
    Overall I've found the battery life good on wifi and crap on 3G which seems to be everyone's consensus.

    No one has anything to add?

  • Does ios 7.1.1 improve battery performance ,also what is its effect on the speed of iphone 4s????

    Does ios 7.1.1 improve battery performance ,also what is its effect on the speed of iphone 4s????
    if it increase battery i want to know if it reduce the iphone speed ,as after ios 7.1 my iphone got more speed but the battery drainage increased

    Tx modular, I mean by speed the general performance of iPhone which optimized after iOS 7.1 but I am afraid to update to iOS 7.1.1 not to lose this perfect performance but also I need battery life optimization

  • How is your battery performance on iPhone 6 Plus?

    So far, not at all impressed and confused as to where they got their ratings of 24 hours.... I guess that was a non-possible number but my phone has been off the charger for 4 hours now and is already at 50% with moderate active use but no video files, and mostly bluetooth phone calls, emails, and texts.  I use my phone quite a bit during the day and literally only bought the bigger phone for battery performance, hoping I would see "iPad" type battery status but I am not impressed at all.  Your experiences would be appreciated.

    Something is definitely wrong here. I've calibrated the battery by running it down to nothing a few times, but most of those were unintentional! I am having to recharge the battery twice a day. I have been hearing many reviewers crowing about the 6+ battery life, but mine is as bad as my much-used 5S.
    I despise having to restore the phone and reinstall my settings and apps, but I guess that is the next step...

  • Iphone 6 battery drain ios 8.1.2

    Tormented by Battery Life
    IOS 8.1.2 upgrade caused it
    iPhone 6 64GB Grey battery constantly drains now, from full charge at 7 am it will die around 2 pm with minimum or no use.
    It even drains while on standby, no serious culprits the phone was setup as new and all apps are upto date downloads form app store
    The phone and apps worked fine before it,
    Post update did the following so far
    Soft Reset
    Hard Reset with Restore all backup from cloud
    Hard Reset with Restore all backup from pc
    Restore again from pc with and without the restore backup
    currently using a new setup with data synced once with icloud login
    I have following tweaks already from various battery performance tweaks
    Location Services to minimum (Google maps), no system services enabled
    Background app refresh disabled
    Reduce Motion is on (parallax effect disabled)
    Notifications to minimum
    Auto Brightness off and brightness is 25-30% from manual selection
    Wifi and Bluetooth is usually off
    Carrier Phone signal is usually ok but shows low signal in small percentages across email, phone but not too much its like 5%, 6% variants
    iCloud is off
    Autoupdate of apps is off
    mail is on manual sync every 30 mins (4 accounts)
    Can't see any obvious app which will cause this
    Generally the drain increases if I use a heavy app like Google Navigation, or Marvel Content of Champions, gets hot too when using a heavy data app and battery can run flat in plain 1 hour of use
    The full charge of the phone also takes longer and then discharges (with some emails (not on auto fetch), small use of whats app and 1 phone call) within 4-5 hours with tweaks 1-11 in place
    Can anyone help, I have booked an appointment with genius but what if they say its just software even though I tried everything
    Any genuine issue here?
    Please don't redirect me to tweaks etc I have almost tried every blog out there on tweaks on battery and almost tried all combos

    Addendum
    Last night charging for around 3-4 hours only charged a dead phone by 55% then left it to charge overnight
    Today the battery dropped from 6:15 am full charge to 53% at 10:38 am at time of writing this with
    1 phone call out for 30 secs
    1 incoming missed call,
    Whatsapp fetched around 10 msgs
    Email fetched around 20 ermail from 4 accounts but not viewed yet on phone

  • IPhone 5 Battery is a Bust and the Fixes Won't Help

    You can setup your new iPhone 5 as a new phone, and it's not going to solve the problem of battery drain. I tried both ways. First, I restored by 3Gs backup to the new iPhone 5, and then I wiped the new iPhone 5 and set it up as a new phone. There are alot of claims that this will make a substantial difference. It may have made a small difference, but in the larger context it makes none and here's why:
    The iPhone 5 battery does not perform even close to the specs claimed by Apple. There is no way you will get 225 hours of standby time. There is no way you will get 10 hours of Wi-Fi time.
    Specs: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    I could put my new iPhone 5 into Airplane mode, then turn Wi-Fi on and have everything else turned off: Siri, Location, Nofitications, Push. At best, I might get 6 hours of surfing time. No video, just apps and web pages.
    I doubt very much iPhone 5 can even last a single work day of telephone calls, email, and web surfing. And this would be even if LTE, and everything else is turned off: Siri, Location, Nofitications, Push.
    Latest Usage Data, with no LTE, Siri, Location, Nofitications, Push. In fact, the stats below are with 1 short phone call, and in Airplane mode overnight. Usage must stand for any time the phone is simply not asleep, certainly not when an app is being used.
    Battery: 9%
    Usage: 6 hours, 27 minutes
    Standby: 1 Day, 5 hours.
    My conclusion: Apple's battery specs are not even close to performance. I really don't see how one could use the iPhone 5 as a business phone, as it could not even get you through a 12 hour day. And by 12 hour day, I mean ALOT of time when the phone is is in standby mode.

    did you have a technical question?

  • Anyone having problems with there iphone 5 battery life been very poor

    I have had the iphone 5 for 4 weeks now and the battery life is very very poor at first i thought it must just be how it is....was dissapointed tho from fully charged to flat in 4 hours with little use or going to bed and waking up with the battery life going down 17%!!! but then 1 day i charged it fully and it never went down for ages, over 24 hours and it still had 25% this lasted for about 4 days then all of a sudden back to been rubish, i sent it in to apple who returened it without doing a single thing (apart from scratched an dented the bottom!!) it was exactly the same ..poor.....but then last night i charged it took it off charge at 6pm (english time) and now at 00.42am the day after it still has 11%....clearly ther is a fault somewere!!! has anyone had the same experience or got any tips for me please?
    cheers, Danny

    Yes a lot of people are having this issue it's from the ios 6 update. Some users are reporting battery drains a lot after updating their device
    There have always been a lot of battery problems posted about in these forums following each and every iOS update.  Personally, I believe that the battery really isn't discharging any faster, it is just that the charging circuit is confused and needs to be reset. I always perform a setup as a new phone for major updates, for example iOS3 to iOS4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, which should be a 'reset' for the charging system, but I do a simple update for point releases--6.0 to 6.0.1, etc.  I have never had a problem with battery performance when performing the full update as new, only when I did a 'normal' update for a point release.  If I perform an update with a restore from the old backup after a major update the battery problem did appear.
    After every iOS point update I always do a full reset--home and on/off buttons held down until the Apple appears--three or four times over the course of a couple of days.  I allow the phone to fully charge overnight every night.
    This has always resulted in 'normal' battery life after one or a few reset cycles.  By 'normal' I mean that a fully charged iPhone, with email and other notifications enabled and set to push, and no particular attention paid to battery conserving techniques, will discharge to about 89% over a 10 hour day.  If I make a few phone calls and surf the web a bit then the level has fell to 70% or so, but unless I heavily use my iPhone 5 it doesn't drop below that point.
    Prior to performing the resets the charge level would sometimes drop into the 50's or 60's or even lower in a few hours without using the iPhone.  This problem 'scenario' has happened with every iPhone I have ever owned and I've owned all but the original iPhone.
    As always, YMMV.  I make no claims as to its usability for anyone else.

  • Iphone 5 Battery Charging Acting Strange

    The last few days my Iphone 5 has been acting strange with charging the battery.  I will be charging it and it will not go past a certain number then if i unplug it a couple times or restart it then it says 100%.  It will be ok for a little while and then go through the same thing.  Yesterday my phone said 36% and a couple minutes later shut itself down because it was a 0%.  So the number is just not reading correctly.
    Is this just as simple as changing the batter most likely?  Or something else, other than this the phone works fine as far as i can tell

    Always try to charge iPhone when convenient for you. You can use iPhone right out of box, no problems, or you can charge it up if convenient. The best time for most users to charge iPhone is at night while they are sleeping so it is fully charged for the next day. The iPhone lithium battery is very versatile, so charge when convenient for you, it will not effect performance or life.
