Last 4.3 update battery draining

until now i only got 2 maybe 3 days on my phone when i used it normaly(mostly calls, ocasional internet, viewing mail or online video) and after the last update i got 6 and a half days i took a screenshot to prove it to you.
how much did you get before and after the update? is it just me or the battery life just got better?

Topic title refers you have a battery draining problem. Next time try to select a better title. It looks you have only 1-2 hours of screen usage but yes after the update battery last longer. Before the update I was just getting 3 hours of screen usage but now I am able to get 4-5 hours of screen usage, additionally it doesn't get hot as much as it was. Thanks for the update sony

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 ..........

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!

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..

After new update battery drains in minutes. Mine and my wifes. Both iphone 5.

After latest update our phones last 2 hrs max. Did a factory reset no change. Also having issues with wifi connections.

You should get your phone checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or an Apple Store, in case this is hardware related.

Did you already check if your phone is eligible for the battery replacement program for the iPhone 5?

7.1.1 update battery draining solutions?

Since updating to 7.1.1 my battery is depleted - not sure of solution?

biggest things to check!
1. mail contacts and calendars - check each email account and set the "push" notifications to "manual" instead of fetch so that it only checks for email when you open the mail app...
1.a. make sure no emails are stuck sending in an outbox...
2. screen brightness
3. closing apps when you pocket the device.
3. let the phone die all the way to 0% battery as much as you can and charge until after its 100% afterwards.
5 heres the big one. (third party data. - to fix this you must restore through itunes program with a computer and set up as new. (means leaving all your info off device including troublesome app data. then test battery life) you can sign back into icloud so that contects etc come back down. Also sign into emails accounts so that their contacts calendars and notes come back down as well.
This is all i got off top of my head.

My phone heats up easily since lollipop update / Battery Drain

Unlike Kitkat, my phone heats up very fast. I just like browsing my facebook for 30 mins and I can feel the heat from my ringke fusion case.
I thought updating my the firmware yesterday will solve the problem but still no chance.
I joined a group of sony users here in Philippines and they said I can have more battery life if my stamina mode is off. In other words, it is not working.
Even after the firmware update.
Any thoughts/suggestions about this?

If you use your device to talk, transmit data, or play games or music for an extended time, the device may get hot. This is normal because in these conditions the device uses more power than usual and therefore generates more heat. If your device gets hot after only light usage or for no apparent reason, i suggest that you make sure you use original charging accessories and follow Phy's advice.

After update battery drained, not charging

Have you tried disabling iCloud services? I suspect that this was what fixed it for me. I'm hoping a future update will resolve the issue and I can reenable it.

Severe battery drain after last verizon update

After the last update for my phone I have been experiencing around 10% battery drain an hour with moderate to low usage. I have already done 2 factory resets and formatting my SD card. I have disabled GPS, WIFI, Global access, Google now and everything else that i can find that could cause a drain. I have even gone and disabled/uninstalled all apps that I don't use. That didn't fix anything. I started to suspect that my battery was bad. Ordered a new from Samsung and charged it all night on there spare battery charger before using it. It actually seems to be draining even faster, after 45 minutes I was already at 88%. During that period I sent about a dozen texts and checked email and the weather. So I don't believe its the battery. Any suggestions to help resolve this will be greatly appreciated.

likegod04, thank for posting. Are you still having battery issues? If so, then next option will be to replace the device. How long have you had it? Is there any physical or water damaged done to the phone?^SP

Hello, skypeisawfull-,
Thanks for submitting feedback about the battery life of Skype for Android. The developers of the app are making great strides to improve the functionality and other aspects, including battery life, so that it runs better for its users!
Skype, by nature, does use more battery than many other apps. It should be understood that it has to constantly contact Skype's servers in order to receive incoming call, chat and contact data. You can reduce the amount of battery usage by closing some other apps that you do not use, reducing screen use time, ensuring that you are in areas with good reception (because cell standby greatly reduces battery) and rebooting the phone after a day or two can make a difference in your battery life.
Remember that the development team has surely made it a priority to make the app consume less battery and kill off the bugs that cause that. They probably have more in store, so just you wait and see! Things could be looking good! With you posting this, they'll take notice and probably work to reduce that 26% usage to something lower in later updates!
Thanks for the feedback - keep 'em coming!

After the latest iOS update (8.1.2) my battery drains in 4-5 hours, on standby (5S 16gb) - and I'm not the only one

Hello,
Since the latest update, my iPhone 5S's battery life has decreased significantly.
In the past, I've never ran into any issues. I have my 5S for over an year now.
Prior to the 8.1.2 update, a full battery lasted for about 24h (usage time >= 4h) to 50-60 hrs (on standby, no usage).
However, after updating, I can see my battery decrease in an alert mode ( about 2-3 % every 3-4 minutes, even on standby).
I've tried all the solutions possible, including but not limited to:
- downgrading to iOS 8.1.1 (I managed to do it, because Apple is still signing the IPSW files). - didn't work, no improvement
- restoring and updating again to 8.1.2 , starting from scratch (I've backed up all my stuff first, restored, updated, set iphone as 'new' , didn't put my data back on) - didn't work, no improvement
I've also chatted with the tech support today and they diagnosed my device, saying:
Quoting support operator:
"Good news, it seems that everything for the hardware side —WiFi, Cellular, and Battery is looking beautiful! That is awesome! Some of the software though does seem to be affecting some things I do see. So, we have found out what the cause is. Next step is getting it taken care of so it doesn’t continue. I want to make sure you don’t have to keep worrying about your battery life."
The only fix they offered was restoring and updating to the latest version, 8.1.2 , again. I've told them I've already tried it, but I thought to give it another try. Unsuccessful again, battery still draining quickly.
I've discussed with another operator about 7 hours later, describing my problem and also told them other users experience this issue too:
Iphone iOS 8.1.2 battery drain remains
No iOS 8 Battery Drain Problems Until iOS 8.1.2
These are only two topics I've found on apple support forums, but many others are experiencing this too.
The technical support employee told me that Apple didn't yet discover this bug and if they do (on a large scale) they will issue an update, or a fix.
That's why I ask you all who have this issue to come and post here, to let Apple know we want our devices to work normally again.
I can't use my iphone if, it drains 100% of battery in 5-6 hours without abnormal usage time!! I also don't think it's healthy for the battery to recharge it 2-3 times a day.
Something needs to be done. I regret every day my decision to update to this version of iOS . I will never update again prior to reading other users' experince on the update.
Please, Apple, do something!
Oh, and by the way, I would go to a service to have this looked into by a specialist, but in my country (and I'm sure there are other countries too) there aren't any Apple services , only shops. And I can't risk taking my phone to a local GSM repair shop, I don't trust them.
Hoping for the best,

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

Over heating and battery drain on iPhone 4 after iOS 7.1 update

I am facing heavy battery drain and overheating after updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 7.1
The battery discharges @ 1% for every minute - when not in use / idle. The handset stays uncomfortably warm. The background app refresh, location services, screen brightness etc have been switched off/kept to the minimum. Though there is significant improvement in responsiveness. There were no battery/overheating issues with iOS 7.0.6.
Have reset all settings, switched on/off, given a hard boot (power button + home button) but no use.
Suggestions to resolve this are welcome.

This is not a software issue!!!. Yes, it may cause by the software update.. I had the same issue with my Iphone5 after 7.1.. I went crazy .. seeing my battery draining 1% a minute without using it.. and it took more than 7 hours to charge completely. Worst my IPhone was out of warranty cant take it back to Apple to have it fixed.
Things already did -
I changed the battery
Restored the phone
Switched to setting basically nothing
Waited for 7.1.1 to come out and then update the phone
But none of these helped at all
So i rolled the last dice.. took my phone to a local technician (in Philippines). They said none of the above will resolve the issue.
What exactly went wrong was the - USB POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER IC U2 was busted. Once this was replaced my phone worked just fine. in fact I was amazed with the results.
My phone charged 100% from 20% in less than 60 minutes.
Now my battery lasts for more than 15 hours ( i do not use mobile data only Wi-Fi)
So if your phone is out of warranty no harm in getting this part replaced. If within warranty you may get a replacement handset.
Now to what causes this as per the technician " Every update from apple tries to exclude accessories that are not certified, and you do get the pop up that this accessory may not be supported" continue to use the charger will fry the IC U2 .
Hope this Helps goodluck

IPad 2 battery drain after iOS 5.0.1 update!!!

iPad 2 battery is draining way too fast after the 5.0.1 update - I've lost over 10% just browsing the apple site over wifi for about 10 minutes - with no other apps running. NOT ACCEPTABLE APPLE!!!
Same issue with my iPhone 4 that went from 62% when I went to bed last night to completely dead this morning - unused!!
Apple - roll 5.0 back out to replace this battery leech. I need to be able to actually USE my products.

Same issue here! I've been reading on my fully-charged iPad and the battery is down to 78%. Never did this before the latest update. Yesterday, iPad quit before my usual evening reading! Any solutions!
I have personally seen the problem and corrected it on numerous models now including the 4S, 4, 3GS and iPad 2s. Corrupt system level settings created by an iOS 5 bug in the original release that caused battery recalibration issues, etc. Just installing the update does not fix the issue in most cases (sometime it initially can be worse). You need to clear out those settings and recalibate the battery. For those still having the "standby battery drain" issue follow the procedure below in order. It does fix the problem in most cases.
Go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
2. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). At this point, Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd
4. Fully discharge battery (tilll it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
In my experience this improves the Standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases. It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple. Good Luck!

Heavy battery drain after OS Update 10.3.1.1779

couple of days ago my phone (Z10) upgraded to new software version 10.3.1.1779. Now the battery barely lasts four to five hours. Usually not more than four. Is this a f****ng joke, Blackberry?!
I checked and I constantly have PIM services at 30-40 %, which is the main battery drainer. Following the suggestions on some of the forums I tried deleting accounts and found one that - being deleted - solves the problem. However, when I add it again it drains the battery again. The point is that i MUST have it on. this is mail only, no calendars, contacts. When I add it I left the phone overnight to download all it needed, 12 hours later PIM services still run at 30-40% all the time.
Reloading the software does not help either.
pls help, I am running out the ideas... I can't keep my phone connected to charger at all times...
