Lollipop update draining battery

Anyone else notice that the new update is draining the battery. I used to be able to go all day doing everything on my phone including watching a few shows on Netflix without charging my phone until bedtime but every since the new update I have had to charge my phone at least 3 times a day. Is this issue being looked at?

I agree that the problem should be getting fixed on the other end. I read the community forums, contacted LG who gave me a standard "we're sorry" and suggested contacting Google. I did and they suggested a factory reset. Did that and last Monday, and am back to losing battery like I'm running the space station. VERY disappointed in Verizon, LG, and Google. Really tired of being jerked around. Will look at other non Android phones.  Been with Verizon since 2003 and am losing patience with the run around.

  • New 7.1 update draining battery

    i updated my iphone 5s to the new ios 7.1 software and it started to drain my battery life. it dies even when i have it on sleep mode.

    I have exactly the same problem
    My phone dies within 4 hours of standby when on idle
    It never did it prior to downloading 7.1
    I have literally tried everything
    Even took it to an apple store
    My hardware diagnostics says its a software issue.
    Personally I think apple is in denial
    Biggest mistake I've ever done was to believe apple was the best.

  • IOS 5.01 update draining battery on iPhone 4

    I have an iPhone 4 and ran the update to iOS 5 on Saturday. I regret doing this now. Before the update I had great battery life. But since Saturday my battery needs to be charged multiple times in a day through normal use. In 1.5 hours of unplugging my iPhone from the charger, my battery drained to 88%. In the last 10 minutes it took to log in & post a couple comments, my battery has now drained to 83%! In 10 minutes!! That is an embarrassment guys. Please fix this ASAP!

    I had both the synching "waiting to copy problem" and ios 5.01 battery problem. Eg: phone was at 100% at 11pm by morning it was stone dead.  Both issues are resoluved now.
    1:  "Wainting to sync" issues was resolved by upgrading iTunes to 5.01 (windows 7 64 bit)
    2: Battery problem was resolved by backing up my phone and finally seeing it complete fully.  Then resetting the phone to factory and restoring the phone from backup
    In the middle of the restore I had a time out error, I unplugged the phone, restarted itunes, started the restore again and now everything seems fine.
    The phone has been at 100% for over an hour now.
    I hope this helps.

  • 7.1 update drains battery on iPhone 4, can I revert to previous version?

    Ever since I updated to IOS 7.1 (I can't find the version number on the iPhone itself) like many users, my battery no longer lasts 3 days, but drains at about 3%/minute, even with all the apps and location services switched off. Can I revert to the previous version please? And, if so, how? Thank you for allowing me to use the phone without switching the entire phone off 99% of the time! Thank you for any assistance that you can give me on this very frustrating problem, over which Apple is sure to lose customers!

    yes there is a way. i figured it out a few days ago. first download the firmware 4.0 from a site. then go into itunes with your phone plugged in AND ON (do NOT put in recovery mode).. hit shift, update. find the 4.0 firmware you just downloaded. it will take a minute but you will downgrade right back down to 4.0. when it completes, a screen should pop up saying there is a new update available (4.0.1) & asking if you want to update. CLICK CANCEL. then you're done! if you want to make sure it worked, go to your phone--go to settings-about-software. it should say 4.0. hope i helped

  • IOS 5.1 update drains battery iPhone 4s?!

    I updated my iPhone 4s 32gb from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.1 a couple days ago. Before I updated it l would usually have around 50% of battery left by the end of the day (fully charged in the morning). After I updated to iOS 5.1 my battery gets hotter than usual when I would use the phone and the battery would be dead by 9pm (fully charged in the morning). If it was only one day then I'd attribute it to chance but it has occured every day since the update! I've disabled wifi and all that fun stuff to try to preserve battery life but it still doesn't help. Any fixes or suggestions?

    iPhone 4S has supported HSPA+, and the update just updated the indicator to show whether you are using 4G or 3G.

  • Heating Up & Draining battery fast on iPhone 5s after iOS 7.1 update

    Hi,
    I updated my iPhone 5s 64GB to iOS 7.1 & it's heating up and draining battery so fast not to mention when I charge it , it takes longer time to charge!
    I didn't have this issue before on the previous version. I tried restoring my iPhone two times & also rebooting my iPhone five times, but nothing works!
    I've looked in other complaints and some of them suggested to switch off background app refresh and locations!
    I didn't have this issue before and I won't turn them off because if the problem because of it then I should experience the same problem on the previous version and why would I turn it off? So what's the purpose of the phone?
    My wife, my sister, my brother & my mom they got an iPhone 5 and they don't experience this problem except me!
    My iPad Air and my wife iPad Mini 2( Retina Display) and there is no problem with the iOS 7.1 .
    I've looked in other websites and found that there are other people experiencing the same problem. Apple should fix this problem ASAP!
    Is there anyone experiencing the same problem and what did he/she do to fix it incase he/she fixed it !

    I don't have any issues with my 5S on 7.1
    Have you actually taken your phone to the Apple store and have them look at it?
    Even if you don't want to turn off background app refresh,  you should turn it off and see what the results are.
    also you said you restored twice, did you restore as NEW?

  • IPhone 5 battery drainage after 6.1.3 update drains very quick

    Does anyone else have any battery issue with there iphone 5? After I updated to 6.1.3 my battery drains like every 1 minute by 2 percent with all my battery saving teqniques. I'm sick of apple doing this with there stupid updates. This battery problem has never been fixed since the first gen iPhone came out and so far the. The new iPhone still has it. I'm guessing they need some components from Samsung to put in the iPhone so they ca. Get this fixed for once and all. C'mon apple release the battery update my battery is dying quick

  • 6.1.1 update is draining battery

    6.1.1 update is draining battery can't back up the phone without 6.1.1 updating too!

    I did find a fix online.  Delete your email account then turn your phone off for five minutes.  Then you can add back your email account.  I did this yesterday and it seems to have helped a lot.  Good luck 

  • So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

    So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone  shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
    Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
    Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
    HELP!

    The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
    Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.

  • Since I downloaded the recent software update, my battery charge lasts about 1/10 as long.  Is there a new option that I can turn off that might be draining my charge?

    Since I downloaded the recent software update, my battery charge lasts about 1/10 as long.  Is there a new option that I can turn off that might be draining my charge?

    There are just too many settings and combinations of apps and settings  that affect battery use. Look through past posts for references to battery and read through them to get ideas. Some recent ones..  Turn down brightness and set Bluetooth off.

  • After Updating the iOS 7.04 on my iPhone 4s drain battery quickly on standby mode & also doesn't respond volume up button, why?

    After Updating the iOS 7.04 on my iPhone 4S drain battery quickly even on standby mode & also doesn't respond volume up button, why?

    My battery problem woes continues to persist.  Yesterday, I had about 85-90% battery life in the morning.  A couple hours later when I looked at the phone it was down to 65%.  At that point, I shut off wi-fi, bluetooth, and background app refresh.  I received one call shortly after that.  The call lasted about two minutes.  My battery was now down to 40%.  Another hour later, down to 16%!  Here's the kicker:  I plugged in the phone to a charger and it jumped to 65% in a matter of minutes.  I unplugged the phone and within a couple of hours it was back down to around 30%.  I plugged it in again and within 10 minutes it was up to 75%.
    At first glance it looks very much like a hardware issue.  However, I never had this problem until I upgraded to 7.0.4.  Also, the above battery roller coaster ride isn't a constant.  That is, it seems that only sometimes this happens.  So...I'm thinking it's either an app running in the background eating up juice (though I have Background App Referesh turned off) or the iOS is buggy. 

  • New 7.1.1 update drains my 4s battery ten times faster what gives

  • HT3743 Hi After I accepted ios7 update, my battery is drained. Unable to recharge. Any solutions?

    Hi After I accepted ios7 update, my battery is drained.It Cannot recharge.What to do?

    I took it to the service centre in India. They r unable to update the software and hence concluded this is hardware issue. I have seen many such incidents at the store. Option given is replacement at $250. I see this is Killing. This may be a Apple issue and I shall be paying for it. Please suggest.

  • How to stop Lollipop update on Verizon Note 4 once it started by mistake & I pulled out battery?

    My Note 4 Lollipop update started automatically so I pulled out the battery to stop it.. That didn't work after I put the battery back in.. So I pulled the battery out again hoping someone would have an answer.. Is there any way I can stop it as I've been so careful not to update and every update over the years has resulted in a disaster and Verizon blames Google or Samsung and Google or Samsung blame each other.. All the while Verizon keeps charging $50mo at least for a smartphone.. I suffered with an update 2yrs ago and they ignored me and other users.. Try setting your fonts to huge and it's only 1/64" at best.

    Once it has started, it will continue until done.  There really is no stopping it no matter what you do if it has already begun.
