Why does IOS8 drain my iphone5 battery?
Does anyone know why IOS8 drains my iphone5 battery? The battery life was not great before and now it has about half the life on it. I've also noticed that my phone's programs run slower (particularly iphoto and safari). Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a way to change this? Is it possible to go back to IOS7 or is a new update coming out to fix this problem?
It's probably an app that's gotten stuck. First thing to do is to is the following procedure:
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)
Now read this article and adjust your settings as advised: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain -

Battery life seems short
Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain. -

Charge Cycles
A properly maintained iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs. -
The so-called "worldwide apple program" to replace iPhone5 battery isn't really "worldwide"
I'm really disappointed of Apple's support and the so-called "worldwide" iPhone5 Battery replacement program.
On November 2012 I was transferred from Mexico to Switzerland to work as a Diplomatic officer. Me and my wife needed a cellphone, so we bought 2 iPhone5.
On March 2014 I was transferred back to Mexico and, nevertheless our 2 iPhone5s are eligible for this program, we received a message from the Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) stating that we cannot benefit from this program because our iPhone5s were bought in Switzerland and not in Mexico.
A few minutes ago I phoned Mexico's Apple Support and Service line, and I got the exact same answer than that from the AASP. Additionally, I was told that the only iPhone5s that could benefit from this program in Mexico were those bought in Mexico, the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. Afterwards they gave me the best possible solution they could think of:
"For you to benefit from this program:
a)Why don't you send your iPhone5s back to Switzerland;
b)Have someone take them to a Swiss AASP to replace the batteries;
c)Have someone fetch the iPhones from the AASP (with the batteries replaced);
d)Have someone send them back to you, to Mexico"
I was absolutely astounded by the solution provided, because of the cost and time that would have to be invested in order to replace a set of affected iPhone5 batteries.
Prior to this incident, I assumed that Apple was a little bit conscious about the global mobility of its users, hence the need for a real global support service; but now I'm sure that they're not.
I am aware that the iPhone5 Battery Replacement Program includes a line that gives Apple a way-out to avoid replacing affected batteries, even for eligible iPhone5s, which reads: "Apple MAY restrict or limit repair to the original country of purchase". The problem here is that there's no MAY and, in our case and I'm sure that we're not the only ones, Apple is simply denying the replacement of affected batteries.
For future so-called "worldwide apple programs", Apple should consider stating that "Apple restricts or limits repair to the original country of purchase". By doing so, the customers will be really informed on how "worldwide" are their programs and we will be in a better position to decide if we really want to buy their products (with that kind of "worldwide" support) or we should decide upon other cellphone brands.
I would really appreciate if someone could share Apple's criteria for the MAYs and the contact info or a way to benefit from this program in Mexico with a Swiss iPhone5.
Thanks in advance!!Thanks Pogster,
Those limitations are exactly what I'm asking the community for their help. That's what I called "the MAYs".
Let me show you how "worldwide" this program really is. I'll post in spanish the answer I got from the AASP, and then I'll translate it for you:
Estimado(a) Sr.(ta) LUIS MARIANO VELAZQUEZ
Aprovechamos el presente para enviarle un cordial saludo y agradecerle la confianza que depositó en nosotros. Así mismo deseamos informarle sobre el estatus de su equipo que nos proporciono para efecto de Revisión
Estatus de Equipo: Diagnosticado
Falla: EQUIPO ENTRA PARA PROGRAMA DE CALIDAD DE BATERIA
Solución de la Falla:Buenas tardes con referencia al equipo, revisamos el caso con Apple, sin embargo no podemos remplazar la batería, ya que los equipos fueron comprados en suiza y el programa no es internacional solo aplica a equipos comprados en mexico.
Fecha de Ingreso: 29/08/2014
Dear Mr. LUIS MARIANO VELAZQUEZ
We take this opportunity to send our warmest regards and thank your trust on us. At the same time, we would like to inform you on the status of the Revision performed to your device
Device status: Diagnosed
Failure: DEVICE ELIGIBLE POR BATTERY QUALITY PROGRAM
Failure solution: Good evening, regarding your device, we checked the case with Apple, but we cannot replace the battery, because the devices were bought in Switzerland and the program is not an international one, it is only applicable to devices bought in Mexico
Reception date: 29/08/2014
As you can see, the scope of the word "worldwide" has been degrading from Worldwide to "not an international program" to only devices bought in Mexico, so in a nutshell it's worldwide but (really really really) local.
So Apple is the best example of what's known as "Think Global, Act Local" -

So a few months ago my ipad mini decided to die 1 month exactly out of warranty... convenient right? Anyway it was charging overnight and was fine when i set it down to sleep. Display and everything was fully functional. The next day i left alone charging, and I came home later to use it. Didnt turn on. tried the reset with the 2 buttons to no avail. Took it to apple and they said it was dead dead, and only offered a replacement.
Thing to mind here is that the charger i was using was somewhat faulty. It would sometimes rapidly charge and discharge due to a faulty connection. My thought is that maybe this started to happen and zapped the battery? Now with this as a possibility, would a completely new battery fix the issue? I could do the repair myself and I'm wondering if the effort is even worth it.What did the Genius say at the Apple store? I would ask them if a repair is a possible solution. There are certified techs out there that can do the repairs. I once had a damaged antenna on my iphone (out of warranty-they offered a replacement) and I asked the genius if it was possible to fix it and he said yes. It took me a while to get the OEM parts from China, so yes, its possible, but I would ask the Genius first.
Be sure to tell the Genius that you have a faulty connection at home. If you can correct the faulty connection, fix it. If not is it possible to charge it somewhere else? -
i dont know if it possible so ill try to ask a question to you guys. i just want to change my iphone5 battery. your reply is very much appreciated.
is it possible to change the iphone 5 battery in any apple store?

IPhone5 Battery Issues *Fixed*
I wanted to come share my experience with everyone, and maybe it will help some others out there.
Backstory: Bought an iphone5, slowly after adding emails, apps, wifi, and whatever else I can think of, I actually thought the battery life was good. However, sometime in late November I went from being able to unplug my phone before work, and not have to charge it until I got home, to having to have it plugged in at work, or at least charge it multiple times a day. If I went out after work, with phone @ 100%, it would be dead before I got home. At most, the battery life was about 3 hours.
No one at the apple store or sprint store was very helpful. I was told to turn off wifi (we don;t have LTE in seattle, so that was off) make sure all apps are closed through the double tapping homescreen, making sure bluetooth is off, I disabled icloud..... it didn't even give me 20 minutes worth of life.
I was getting so fed up, I seriously considered buying a galaxy 3 and just eating the cost. Thankfully, I found someone online who had the same story as me. I followed his steps of simply "resetting network settings" It didn't erase any of my info on my phone, but my phone is back to working properly. I went all weekend without having to charge it more then once, and I have been at work streaming pandora since about 8am, and I am at 68% currently. Whatever the network reset was, fixed the issue. It closed whatever was running, that was destroying my battery.
I hope this helps.Why don't you try to search for the many other threads instead of creating a new one.

Personal Hotspot running iphone5 battery down
My new Iphone5 seems to be stuck running Personal Hotspot without actually have any capability to enable or disable it, causing early drainage of the battery. has anyone identified a fix for it? Reading some comments by other users regarding the same issue on previous iPhone version indicated that Apple is aware of the problem and plans to develop a patch for it!
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.Hi Kaz,
Yes. My hotspot works now, but a side effect of the strenuous troubleshooting endeavor my iPhone is now a little glitchy, e.g., cannot access my gmail account, and prompts me to choose a WiFi access point every time I try to access my emails.
As it turned out, there's nothing I could have done from my end to solve this. I spent a long time with the Verizon tech support. The tier 1 guy went through many troubleshooting procedures, told me to do various things on my phone while he checks how the system respond from his end, e.g., turn on roaming, restart phone, and etc. After he tried his best to no avail, I was transferred to Tier 2 tech support. He was able to apply scripts and patches to my phone and fixed my problem.
I don't recommend taking the phone to the Verizon store and expect any decent support. I spent a long time waiting and all they could do was telling me that the tethering is on and reset my phone a couple of times before making me call customer service, which I could have done anywhere, without the wait. However, you will need a second phone to call with while your iPhone is undergoing troubleshooting.
Hope this helps. -
Another thread: Poor iphone5 battery life.
Hi,
Wondered if anyone had any similar experience and if they could fix it without a replacement phone:
10 days old iphone5 16G.
Initial Battery life with very light use: 22h.
Reconfigured: Turned pretty much everything off apart from 15min fetch email: 36h
Reset: No improvement.
Restore as new: 48h with ony 2x 30 secs calls so mainly standby only.
Any suggestions guys?
Thanks
JohnUpdate:
Post Restore as new: Did NOT restore from backup. Then did deep discharge. Now battery life is in excess of 54h with full pretty heavy use. (although crazy location and icloud stuff turned off).
Really happy. Great practical real-world phone. I guess it is a software issue post 6.0.2 update.
Just goes to show; listen to the support guys and do what they say *exactly*. Dont skip any steps or add anything to what they say and all will be well. I was skeptical but now converted. Respect.
Good luck to anyone with this issue.
Cheers

Iphone5 battery is not charging
last month i bye a new iphone5 in the unitet states. Now i´m back in germany and it is not possible to charge the battery or start the iphone. Today i had a appointment in an apple retail store in germany but they cannot help me because it is not EU standard. They told me that i must fly back to the unitet states to get support. They check it for me and now i know that the battery is ok they think the charging socket of the iphone have a short circut.
So now to my question:
1. It is possible to get Apple support for my iPhone5? (Without a flight back to U.S.)
or
2. Can someone tell me where is the problem and how can I fix it by my self?1, The iPhone warranty is country specific (outside the EU). Your phone can be serviced only in the USA. Appele doesn't repair phones. If the damage is covered by the warranty (i.e. not due to abuse), the phone would be replaced with a refurbished unit.
2. How could anyone remotely inspect and test your phone? You can try cleaning the Lightning socket with electronic contact cleaner. -

I would appreciate any help on how to increase my battery life. Thanks in advance!Lowest power consumption for youtube viewing is Safari.
Yes, I know about all the nice Java script extensions (ala Greasemonkey) and addons that are lacking in Safari.
However Firefox has both Safari and Chrome beat by a 100 miles in the extension and addon dept. , ....additionally the "eyeball" of Google/Chrome is subjectively not preferred by myself in web use.
Give Safari a go for a few hours and you should notice a drastic change in power consumption.
Also go to Activity monitor > ENERGY tab to see the use difference between the two and other running APPS. -
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
" "" Passbook updates: OFF
"". " Reading list: 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.
