Iphone Battery Life on IOS 7.1

My battery life seems to have gone south since my upgrade to IOS 7.1. Does anyone know what I can do to stop the rapid drain? Can't even go a full day with avg use since the upgrade.

Hello Fatboy1351,
I certainly understand the importance of having the longest battery life possible on the iPhone.  I recommend reviewing the following resource for some information about extending your battery life:
Battery & power
Is your iPhone battery draining too quickly or not holding a charge? Try restarting it first. You can also adjust several settings to extend the battery life of your iPhone.

    You will need to ask beta related questions in the private developers forum. You do know how to get there, right?

  • Fix for iPhone Battery Life

    Hi, I have done this with IOS 5 through 6 and it works.
    I have done this serveral times with my phone, as battery life decreases.  I have not figured out what is the original cause of my battery problems, but every now and again, something starts to dain my battery at a rappid rate, in an hour or two.  This is the fix to reset it.
    1 - Back up you phone to iTunes
    2 - Go into the settings under General and at the bottom sellect Reset and reset your iPhone erassing all data.
    3 - Once it resets and shows you the default "out of the box" screan, power it off
    4 - Recharge it FULLY.... I leave it over night.
    5 - Power it on again
    6 - Restore your settings via iTunes.
    7 - Your done
    In my experiance, if you skip any of the steps, like not powering off when your recharge or not recharging fully, will result in it still draining quickly.
    Hope this works for you.

    Thanks JJT2122 !
    I added your fix to the list of available fixes that improve  iPhone battery life

  • Maximizing iPhone Battery Life

    Regard maximizing iPhone Battery Life, just for my curiosity and knowledge, from a software or hardware standpoint why when we use the iPhone to access data, a Wi-Fi connection uses less power than a cellular network — so keep Wi-Fi on at all times.
    Thank You

    Your problem is the same for thousands after iOS update, but Apple does not manifest itself with respect to a possible fix.
    My battery works only 2 hours of use.
    And detail: with ALL the possible functions of the disabled device.

  • Optimizing iPhone battery life: Between charges and before replacement

    FYI. An excellent iPhone battery care article by iPhoneAtlas.com:
    Optimizing iPhone battery life: Between charges and before replacement
    http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2007/07/09/optimizing-iphone-battery-life-between-cha rges-and-before-replacement/

    OK, I agree that is a completely false statement. The rest of the article is pretty good.
    If you assume a linear decrease in battery charge for each full cycle (which it really isn't, but much easier to model in a spreadsheet). Then 80% of original charge after 400 full cycles is approximately 0.8% loss in battery charge per full charge cycle (again this is a simplification, stay with me). This means that after 400 cycles, you are at approximately 80% of your original total charge level. As stated by Apple.
    So, extrapolating that out to EOL (end of life) which Apple assumes to be 50% battery charge, it would take approximately 1,000 full charge cycles for your battery to be EOL (according to Apple). It would actually be slightly less than that since it won't be a linear function.
    For me, that's 2 to 4 years of use depending on whether or not I continue using the iPhone as much as I have this first full week.

  • How to save battery life for ios 7

    How do you save battery life

    There is many things to help save battery life on IOS, hear are some battery saving tips I use when with low battery  .
    Battery saver 1: Turn off Bluetooth , by going to "Settings>Bluetooth" and switching the little "On/Off" toggle.
    Battery saver 2: Turn down the screen brightness half way or just below is fine, for at home, but if you use your idevice outside turn it up just below max brightness so you can see the screen, to turn up or down brightness you can navigate to "Settings>Wallpaper and Brightness" and there will be a slider to adjust brightness.Or if you are on IOS 7 you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen and it will bring up "Action Centre" and there will be a little sun icon, next to it will be another brightness slider, to exit "Action Centre" press the home button or just swipe the little down arrow.
    Battery saver 3: Volume turn the volume up and down at certain times of day "eg: I turn volume up full or just below in the afternoons because most things are going on in the afternoon that probably make lots of noise, and at night turn it down because your ears have adjusted to quietness  and can pickup on quieter sounds".
    Battery saver 4: Turn off WIFI when not in use "eg when playing games or just switched off" you can do this by going to "Settings>WIFI" there will be a "On/Off" toggle or via "Action Centre" "IOS 7+".
    Battery saver 5: When your not going to be using your device for a while shut it down by holding the "Sleep/Wake" button.
    Battery saver 6: Close apps running in the background by double tapping the home button and holding down the running apps then tap the little "-" minus in a red circle to close "IOS 6 and lower", things are a little different with IOS 7 its the same process of double tapping  the home button but a different way to execute the apps, you do this by swiping "Up" on the open apps. "Tip: You can swipe 3 at once!".

  • Loss of battery life in iOS 4.2 (compared with iOS 3.x)?

    Hi,
    Similar to another poster here, I found that when I upgraded my (first-generation) iPad from the original iOS 3.x software it came with to iOS 4.2, it really smoked its battery life (like, that percentage in the upper right conner really came down a lot faster). I have installed iOS 4.3.3 today and so far cannot tell if there's any difference. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this loss of battery life in iOS 4.2 or 4.3 compared with the 3.x software?

    Hi, thanks, I had tried that, but it's a good tip... I think there is just such a difference though between how the battery life had been with iOS 3.x compared with how it is with iOS 4.x... and also I think many of the posters in this thread had been experiencing similar problems:

    Thanks for the tip though, really appreciate it! :-) Best,

  • No wifi and horrible battery life after iOS 7 install on iPhone 4S!

    After the iOS 7 install on my iPhone 4S, my battery life is markedly worse and my phone will not connect to my home wifi. Every other device, including my wife's iPhone 5 and two iPad 2's, still connect perfectly. Please help. I wish I could go back to 6.1.3.

    I've had issues since the upgrade too-messages wouldn't load, phone locked up and would turn off at random times. Then I noticed my data usage going up a ton in one day and checked and it wasn't connecting to my home wifi. Called tech support and they went through all the troubleshooting they could find and nothing helped. Had to go upgrade. You might try to reset your network settings, but that didn't help with mine

  • IPhone 4S short battery life after iOS 5.1

    The battery of my iPhone 4S started to discharge more quickly after I downloaded iOS 5.1, but before it was OK. My location services, notifications, push and wi-fi are all off, but even if I don't use my phone, the battery life is shorter than it was before. Please help me with this issue! What can I do?

    I am very sorry, but what do you mean by switching off the data connection completely? You mean switch off the wi-fi function? Sorrry, I just didn't get..

  • Why "Home & Lock Screen" consume more than 20% battery life in iOS 8.3?

    Hi, I also got the battery issue after upgrading to the iOS 8.3.
    My battery will drop from 100% to 30% within 4 hour battery usage (you can find this is the data in the Settings->General->Battery Usage->Usage)
    When I go to check the battery usage of each app, I see "Home & Lock Screen" use 23% battery within 24 hours.
    I just dont understand what does "Home & Lock Screen" do basically, and why it consumed so much battery usage?
    Anyone has idea or the similar situation?
    I'm using iPhone 5s

    Hey guys, I believe it can let you extends your battery life significantly by doing the following.
    (I did an experiment by myself in these days)
    1. Turn off the hands off
    2. Turn off the non-necessary background app refresh
    3. Turn off the Suggested Apps, both My Apps and App Store
    4. Set the location service for every app into "While Using" if you are able to
    By doing the settings above, I can extends my battery life 15% and more.
    I am using iPhone5s and iOS8.3

  • Here's the solution to awful battery life on ios 5.

    After updating my iphone 4 to ios 5 my battery would drain from 100% to dead in around 4 hours with no use and would constantly be warm to the touch - especially on the left side of the phone where the battery is. However after resetting network settings i only lost 20% battery after 5 hours and is now a normal temperature. To do this go onto settings/general/reset/reset network settings. You will get the screen you get when restoring for a minute or so but when it boots back up just put your wifi code in and everything should be back to normal with a good - if not better - battery life.
    Hope this helps, regard.

    I am going to make it as brief as possible my 1 month experience with my brand new Iphone 5
    -Januarry 11 - I purchase the Iphone 5
    -First day the phone battery lasted on stand by for more than 24 hours
    -Second day, I upgraded the software for IOS 6.1
    -Battery issies begun. Battery on stand by last 4 - 6 hours
    -I took the Iphone to Apple Store, they say everything is OK, that I had too many apps or that I should have make the restoration process from  "New Iphone" instead backing up.
    -I do the New Iphone thing and the battery now lasts more than 24 hours on Stand By
    -Then Comes 6.1.1
    -Battery drain problems are back
    -Restoring the Iphone as NEW does not works this time. I have to charge 3 times a day my Iphone 5
    -Yesterday 6.1.2 addressing to fix this bug
    -I do the upgrade. Worst than before, battery drains 10% in 10 Minutes in Stand by!!
    -I cant make the battery to fully charge to 100%, no matter how long I plug it, even overnight, after 8 hours, I was expecting a 100% charge, but it was at 97%!!!! With all apps closed, WIFI and Bluetooth OFF
    -I do the whole restoring process from NEW again. - NOTHING!! - It has been only 3 hours since i Umppluged it and now I have 33% and thats because I charge it on my car on my way to Work, about 30 minutes.
    -6.1.2 its even worst that 6.1.1
    WTFF!!!!!!!  IS APPLE DOOMED?

  • 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.

  • HT4623 Iphone Battery affected by IOS upgrading

    Regards
    I am having problems with my Iphone 4battery, after I've upgraded the IOS.  I used to have charge for the entire day (web browsing, text messages, phone calls, even I listen the radio). after I have accepted to update the sorfware, the battery life drops in 1 hour (100%-0%).
    My cellphone, its in good shape and conditions, I have a contract for three years, and I dont have plans to change my equipment soon.
    Regards

    While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, just be aware that after every iOS update there is a group of users that report faster than normal battery drain.
    The vast majority of battery issues are resolved by basic troubleshooting.
    Most iOS users never experience battery issues or any other issues for that matter after iOS updates.
    There is no battery issue to fix or any reason to believe that a fix for these mysterious battery issues will appear in the next iOS update.

  • Battery life after iOS 6.1 update

    After Updating to iOS 6.1, my phone decided to black out with 24% battery an the only way I fixed it was to have someone call me while it was plugged in.  That was the only time the screen worked. I have also noticed on that day my battery didn't last all day like normal but instead was dead by hour 4-5 of usage.  Yesterday, my battery life also continued to be a problem and now this morning even when plugged in the battery says 100% only sometimes, the rest of the time it stops at 98%.  So I unplugged it and tried it again and it kept happening. Would say 100% then if replugged in would say 98%.  So my iPhone started the day with only taking three hours to die from full battery and after recharge and unplugging it is at 98%, not 100%.  Thoughts?

    The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
    Standard troubleshooting is:
    Re-boot the phone
    Restore the phone from your backup
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    One of the 3 should fix the problem.
