Issues with newest update, battery draining quickly, phone very hot

I recently updated my IOS to the newest edition. I do not know much about the techonological aspects of the phone and how it works, but I do know how to reboot the phone, reset the phone and close out all the applications so that there is no software running in the background.
Since updating the phone, I have experienced so many problems. The most unsettling one is that the phone is very very hot to the touch while it is syncing to my itunes and while it is charging.
I am not sure what is going on in the background, but currently I am in the process of studying for final exams and I don't really want to drive all the way out to see the Apple geniuses if it is something that I could possibly fix at home.
Also the battery is draining quickly as a result of whatever application is running in the background. I have turned my email off from push, it is now manual. I have also pretty much changed the setting of all the applications that use location or push for notifications because I am not sure what is making the phone run hot.
Any feedback would be amazing!
thanks

when you have a heating issue there isnt much you can really do.
To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

  • Lumia 620 with black update - battery draining

    Since the Black update my phone battery drains and phone shuts down without warning. battery saver is on! This never happened prior to the update and all my settings were as before the update and my usage habits havnt changed (minimal use)
    I'm on OS Ver.8.0.10517.150 firmware: 3056.40000.1404.0001
    - wifi is on (as before)
    - data is off (as before)
    - Location is off (as before)
    Infact I do not have many of the apps I had on prior since the update did not pick up & restore my settings. The Microsoft account refused to let me log in after the update and I had to circumvent that by Adding my account thru settings which prevented my settings/apps from being restored.
    Anyone else facing this issue of the battery draining and ...
    is there a solution for this (other than re-installing the update which I havnt yet tried)?

    Found this article on the support site and made sure I had these set. So far so good ... we'll know in the next 24 hours. I guess the update had turned on several other features I had off previously!

  • FIX FOR: iPhone 4 battery draining fast, phone running hot

    I had the same issue many have reported here and in comments on blogs, where their +_battery was draining at least twice as fast_+ as on an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.
    Some threads suggest +_this happens to iPhone 4 when restored from a 3G or 3GS_+, and indeed, that's what I'd done. A few people said that resetting to factory settings and installing everything fresh solved the issue, giving them better battery life than they'd seen on any prior iPhone.
    Many of my apps have files or settings stored in them, so I didn't want to have to set everything up again. A fresh install is a real pain.
    Deep in an iPhone 3G thread mentioning a similar battery problem after upgrading to iOS 4, someone said they'd deleted all their mail accounts, and set those up fresh, which solved the issue for them. I tried that today, and it worked.
    *_BEFORE AND AFTER_*:
    Thursday and Friday, the iPhone 4 went from 100% to 15% in under 6 hours. Today, after this fix, the iPhone 4 is at 87% after 12 hours. Thursday and Friday the phone was hot to the touch whenever I picked it up. Today it's always cool. Apps usage and movement among coverage areas on each day have been exactly the same. The only change was resetting up mail.
    *_STEPS TO FIX_*:
    Do this on WiFi so you can sync and check mail fast.
    1. Delete all mail accounts.
    2. If MobileMe user, delete MobileMe account, and remove all Calendars, Contacts, Notes, etc., from the phone (so you don't have dupes when you re-sync).
    3. Turn off phone, and back on again.
    4. If MobileMe user, add MobileMe account first. I enabled all options, even Find My iPhone (Thursday and Friday I had it off, in case it was using power). Wait long enough for contacts and calendars to sync, check to make sure. I use MobileMe mail on Push.
    5. Add back each additional mail account. I have 5. I am in a marginal coverage area, so I set these accounts on Fetch Hourly. I also have "Preview 5 Lines" (I think the default is Preview 2 Lines. This doesn't matter.)
    6. Go into Mail, go to the MobileMe Inbox, and scroll your way down letting the messages come in. You can see them come in when you see the Preview Lines update, and then scroll some more.
    7. Go into each additional mail account's Inbox, scroll your way down, letting the messages come in.
    8. Go to the combined Inbox if you use that, make sure all the messages are in.
    9. The WiFi activity spinner may remain spinning even after Mail says it is done Checking Mail. This is because other parts of mail accounts are being synced for the first time. Let the iPhone sit in Mail combined inbox until the spinner stops. Quit Mail, go back in, and watch the spinner after it's done Checking Mail. If the spinner doesn't stop after < 5 seconds or so, let Mail sit again. Once it's caught up, going into mail will Check Mail, and the spinner will stop a few seconds after as it should.
    10. You're done.
    Hopefully your phone stays cool and your battery life reflects the boost from the 20% larger battery. If not, the next step to try is Reset Network Settings, and finally try a factory reset and installing everything fresh instead of doing a restore. Hopefully you won't need to do that. I didn't.

    My iphone 4 just started to warm up and the battery is draining quick.  Closed everything and reset to no avail.  Turned off bluetooth, increased push time and checked location settings for new applications.  Weather Doodle was a bit suspicious as it had a purple direction indicator next to the setting.  The only other new app I installed was Lego instruct.  I disabled one of the 4 mail accounts I had that is having network difficulties, went to airplane mode and still I see %1 drain every 10 or 15 minutes.  I'll remove the new new apps and reset to see if it is related to the new apps.  If that doesn't work, I'll try email account reset at home wifi and see if that fixes the issues.  
    Thank you for the information.

  • Iphone 4s IOS 7.0.4 update battery drain issues

    I hope this gets to apple in regards to the issue of the battery drain. I have been following several discussions for the past couple of weeks and everyone seems to have some type of idea on what the problem is. I'm not a service tech or gadget know all, but I have been performing several "Nonscientific" test to see what is draining my battery.
    I have a 4s that has always had good battery life. It seemed to run consistent to what was detailed in the product specs. I would only need to charge it every other day on limited use or the next day with heavy use. After updating to the latest update (IOS 7.0.4), the battery would drain in less than a day on limited use which is a couple of text, couple of email checks, 3 to 4 phone calls at less than 10 minutes each - no internet searches or game play.
    So, after reading everyones suggestions in the forums and trying them, the battery still drained just as fast, if not faster. I read a post somewhere regarding “Bluetooth” constantly searching. So, I saw mine was doing the same. Someone replied to that person that it should not be the issue, as it does not use much power to run its task. (I found they were wrong)
    Here is my nonscientific test, but a good one. (for the record I had nothing on in the notification center, Do not disturb off, only thing on in Privacy - location services was google maps, Siri, Yelp, and Find my phone; iCcloud was off; background app refreash was off; email fetch data was off; everything else was off)
    Day 1 - I fully charged my phone several hours, I unplugged it at night before going to bed, did a hard reset to make sure every app was off, and only opened the settings app and made sure the Bluetooth was onand searching. I checked my phone 6 hours later and saw the battery drained from 100% to 56% with no usage other than just being on and in sleep mode. That would mean it drained at 7.3333 % an hour. Some would say that acceptable. - Its not when there is no usage. The battery would die in 13 hours with no usage.
    Day 2 - I repeated the test (as above), but turned off the bluetooth. I checked my phone 6 hours later and saw the battery did not drain at all.  I started with a 100% and battery was still at a 100% with no usage other than just being on and in sleep mode. I opened a couple of apps and closed them to prevent them from running in the back ground and noticed I lost about 2% of charge after usinging it checking an app or 2. I put it back to sleep mode and checked it again in an hour and saw it only drained 3% down to 97%. Very acceptible.
    Day 3 - I repeated the test, but during regular day hours with limited use of the phone (with bluetooth off). I was back to getting close to a normal battery drain I was experiencing prior to the update. I know that IOS 7.0.4 uses a little more battery power to run as it has different features and abilities, so the battery drain was not like it was before, but a lot better.
    So, my experiment concluded to me that the new update is causing the bluetooth searching to run in the back ground continuously and causing the battery to drain unacceptably fast on my phone. This is a program issue that can be fixed by Apple. I find it unacceptable to have to control my bluetooth manually, as I never had to do it before and I shouldn't have to do it now. I hope Apple will fix it soon. I‘ve been a apple product person for years, and enjoy the products, but lately they have been not been satisfactory in the phone business. I have been playing with a samsung galaxy thats looking very promising, if apple doesn’t fix the issue everyone is having, they will loose business to competitors.
    Please fix the issue!

    Hi Folks,
    iPhone & iPad2 battery drain issue SOLVED!!!!!
    I had a serious battery drain problem on THREE devices using different iOS .... it was a simple fix and had certain characteristics that you may be able to relate to ......
    Devices;     16GB iPhone 4 with IOS6
                      16GB iPhone 4S with iOS7.06
                      32G iPad2 with iOS7.04
    On or about Feb. 28th all three devices started to drain the battery like crazy losing about 20%/hour on the iPhones and 10%/hour on the iPad2 .... After messing around with settings, browsing forums and looking at what was common between the three devices I concluded the problem was with a single Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail email account in the iOS native mail app .... I deleted the email account on all three devices (along with other unrelated Microsoft accounts on each device) and did a hard reboot (hold HOME and top LOCK button simultaniously for about 10 seconds until the apple logo appeared).
    I then re-created the common Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail account on all three devices in the iOS native mail app ...... SUCCESS! Now all three devices are behaving normaly with respect to battery drain ......
    Hopefully this will be useful to others in this thread ..........

  • Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
    First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
    The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
    Good luck

  • MBA 2013 battery drain quickly during sleep after updated to mavericks

    Hi,
    After I updated to mavericks this Tuesday, I noticed the battery drains quickly during sleep mode.
    Before the system update, everything was ok. Each night after I closed the lid, it went to sleep and the battery only droped less than 5% after sleep of the whole night.
    But during the last two nights after system update, it drained more than 50% of the battery during 8-hour sleep. I could feel some heat on its back when I picked it up. I did not change any system setting or installed any new apps.
    my MBA: latest 2013 version, 13 inch, haswell i7, 8G ram, 256 SSD.
    I liked my mba so much because of the long battery life. But now It was really annoying because I have to charge it very often.
    Any ideas how to solve this issue?

    Hi Hans,
    There's another thread going with the same issue as you... check:

    I still haven't seen a resolution anywhere... smacks of something on Apple's side with so many users complaning

    Wifi keeps scanning and dropping even after connected to home network.  Never had this issue until the update, and now my phone runs slow and terrible.  Horrible update!!  Any ideas on a fix?

    It's important that you have a steady WiFi connection, ZealousEdge. What phone do you have? Is your phone unable to connect to any WiFi network? If you can, please try deleting the saved WiFi network and re-adding it.

  • I have just got my new iPhone 4 white and the battery drains quicker than it should. How would I fix this?

    I got my new iphone 4 white 32GB today and the battery drains quicker than it should

    So based on that you're saying around 6 hours discharge? That sounds about right if you're on the web using 3G. Games and apps eat up the battery faster.
    Talk time:
    Up to 7 hours on 3G
    Up to 14 hours on 2G (GSM model only)
    Standby time: Up to 300 hours
    Internet use:
    Up to 6 hours on 3G
    Up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
    Video playback: Up to 10 hours
    Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
    Knowing what you were using it for would help

    Try to set it up as new device:

    If this does not help, try again, this time without using the latest backup.
    If you are using push/fetch for your mail, deleting the account and setting it up again after a restart could also solve your problem.

  • I have iPhone 4 with newest update and Mac laptop with Snow Leopard and current version of iTunes. When I hook the phone up via USB, iPhoto pops open and reads the pictures for import, but iTunes doesn't do anything. Not seeing the device as a USB, either

    Sorry, thought that was the body of the question, so the title is long. When I plug in my iPhone 4 (newest update) into my Mac laptop (current version of iTunes, Snow Leopard), it does not read the music, apps, etc., or open iTunes at all. It syncs the pictures, but it doesn't not show as a USB device, either. I have gone through the Troubleshooting assistant, restarting both comp and laptop, using different USB ports, etc. If it is of note, when I look at the option to Sync through Wifi on the phone, it says that sync will happen when my computer (by name) is "available." Not sure if this is a phone issue or laptop, leaning towards laptop, since iPhoto syncs. Willing to buy Lion if that will fix the problem! I would appreciate any help that is given.
    Regards,
    Lindsey

    You have written a very long story, and I admit I have skipped most of it.  But I think the question is you are on iOS 7, and cannot get the latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) on your computer because your OS X is too old.
    The fact that you chose not to update your hardware does not mean you could not update your software!
    OS X 10.5 is very old (about four years).  iTunes 11.1.5 (current version) requires at least OS X  10.6.8 to run.  Very likely, you could upgrade your computer's software to at least OS X 10.6.8 and then download the current iTunes on it.
    You would start here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Then you would update the OS X 10.6 to OS X 10.6.8 over the air, then download iTunes (or update to a later OS X, as the current version is 10.9.2).

  • MBP won't sleep and battery drains quickly since 10.6.3 update, help!

    My 15" MBP refuses to sleep when I close the lid, it's very frustrating cause now I cant just close the lid when I'm done using it cause the battery runs down and it gets very hot. This is only since the 10.6.3 update, I've tried repairing the permissions but no luck, even when I choose 'Sleep' from the Apple pref menu it still doesn't sleep.
    Any idea's?
    Along with this and the screen flickering issue plus a few other bugs I'm really starting to wonder how I justified paying £2k+ for this machine

    Nope, reset the SMC.
    When I try put it to sleep it wakes up 15seconds on the button every time. When I close the lid to put it to sleep the apple logo on the lid lights up every 15 seconds aswell.
