My iphone 4s is terrible after the 0s6 upgrade, can I downgrade?

Everything was working fine with my 4s before the fateful day I accepted the upgrade to the new os6.  Since then, not only does a fully charged battery only last a matter of hours but the phone "crashes" constantly.  I'll fully charge my battery before bed and it's dead by the morning.  I've turned off all systems I can, wifi, hotspot, etc. and can literally watch the battery drain with no use in front of my eyes.  During a text, email, calendar entry, web search, you name it, the thing goes blank and then back to the home screen, loosing any work I'd been doing. This gets very frustrating when I have to retype every text 2-3 times and send in short bursts to make sure I don't loose the reply.  I've rebooted many times and restored factory settings.  I've synced to itunes and downloaded the update that way thinking there may have been a problem doing it wirelessly the first time.  I've read some other problems with battery life but wonder if anyone else is experiencing these "crashes" and black screnes that reset to the home screen.  I'm afraid to take it back into the Verizon dealer because of course, although I purchased the new phone just 5 months ago, my 30 day Verizon warranty is done and they didn't offer or sign me up to any Apple warranty, just tried to sell me a bullfrog plan that I couldn't afford.  I'm afraid I'm out of luck with fixing this or getting a new phone, I just wish I could downgrade to what I had before.  Of course, other friends are not having any problems at all, just my luck!

Unfortunately, you can't downgrade and will have to hope that Apple releases a patch soon to fix some of the bugs, although I upgraded with no problems at all.

    I don't want to change phones based on iOS releases. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • My iphone 5c locked up after the latest update how do I fix this

    My iphone 5c locked up after the latest update.  How can I fix that?

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Unless the iPhone was purchased  as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
    Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
    Regards.

  • Iphone 3g shuts off after the apple loading screen then cuts back on

    Iphone 3g shuts off after the apple loading screen then cuts back on by its self but when i connect it to a charger it works fine also my on/off button is unresponsive (i havent dropped it or wet it so im confused why its doing this)

    Welcome to the discussions,
    normally you could try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back. But since the sleep button is unresponsive, try to restore "as new iPhone", if necessary without using the backup afterwards, in case the backup contains corrupt data.

  • My iPhone 4s seems to be running slower after the os6 upgrade. Anybody else having this problem?

    My iPhone 4s seems to be running slower and crashes after the ios6 upgrade.  The power off button does not appear when I try to power it off, the screen just goes blank.

    Mine seems to be running faster after the upgarde although i am facing battery drainage. Best you do a hard reset to the phone and this should solve the issue. Apparently if you upgrades via OTA, there were some issues. hope this helps

  • After running Appstore, the iphone cannot auto shutdown after the predefined time

    After running Appstore, the iphone cannot auto shutdown after the predefined time.

    Pressing the Home button only quits the selected application only. Doing so with Safari available will quit Safari, but this does not reset the iPhone.
    The only way to Reset an iPhone is by pressing and holding the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    No apple stores in the area but my sister and mom are going to an area where there is one so I guess I'll give it to them to take along and see if they can swap it out for another or fix it.
    You must make an appointment at an Apple Store, so unless you are able to do so and unless you are able to go with them (especially if an exchange might be involved), I suggest giving AppleCare a call instead.

    I had this problem too with my newly bought iPhone 4s.I went to a technician shop to ask what the problem is and they said they could fix it however they would charge £35 and I believed this was too much. I was playing around with my iPhone to see if I could fix this problem I went on setting the clicked on the music section at the music section there is the button called sound check which was off so I decided to turn it on . After I turned it on my sound came back I was ecstatic I saved myself £35 and having to return the phone.

  • After the recent upgrade to ios 8 ipad air has no audio coming out

    HI
    After the recent upgrade to ios 8 ipad air has no audio coming out

    I had the same problem until tonight. Played with ring tones, do not disturb, volume, and everything else posted. What I found is that when you go to sounds/text tone, there are two types of tones in the scrolling menu. The top set of tones are for alert tones and the bottom set are ringtones. They are separated by a gray bar that states their purpose. Many of the tones are the same name. You need to set your text alert in the Ringtones and reminders, alarms, and such in alerts. The weird thing about this menu is when you go to sounds/ringtone the menu is reversed. Mine works in locked mode or unlocked now. I have an Iphone 6 8.1.2. My problem started after my latest OS upgrade. Hope this helps.

  • HT1296 I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
    I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
    So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
    Thank you so much.
    I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
    And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
    I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
    Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?

  • How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

    How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

    There is no reason to be running beta software, I doubt it will even still run as iOS 6 has been officially released.  Or were you simply trying to be funny? 
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Did anyone else lose all their contacts from address book after the Lion upgrade? ...and how do I get them back?

  • AIA 2.0.1 O2B Order synchronization fails after the SOA Upgrade to 10.1.3.4

    Hi,
    I have the AIA 2.0.1 installed on the system with the Order to Bill PIP flow working fine until I upgraded the SOA Suite from 10.1.3.3 to 10.1.3.4.
    After the SOA upgrade the order synchronization from CRM(8.1.1) to BRM(7.3) fails with the error message
    "exception on JaxRpc invoke: HTTP transport error: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: eis/BRM"
    I have checked the Application Server for the availability of BRM Adapter.
    The BRM Adapter is available and properly configured. The JNDI Location for the BRM Adpater is eis/BRM itself.
    Can anyone please help resolve this issue.
    Thanks in Advance

    Don't upgrade your Leopard clients. While running Xsan 1.4.2 on G5 Xserves running 10.4.11 works, it is preferred to keep your server running a newer OS than the clients. Again, Mac OS X 10.5.2 does work with Xsan 1.4.2 and MDCs running 10.4.11 but who knows if an upgrade will break this? Alternatively you could buy a couple seats of Xsan 2 and change your controllers to be newer intel Macs (Mac Pro or Xserve).

  • After the latest upgrade, I can't transfer my library audiobook cd's from my computer to my iPod so I can listen to the book. The book shows up on my computer, but not on my iPod.

    After the last upgrade, I can't transfer my library audiobook cd's from my computer to my iPod so that I can listen to the book. It seems to be transferring but
    doesn't show up on my iPod. How do I find the transferred files on my iPod Classic 60GB? Help! I've done this thousands of times before, and this is the 1st
    time I've had a problem, so I'm suspecting the upgrade.

    For non-purchased music like CD ripped songs, you need some third party software like sharepod, yamipod or iPod file manager to copy them from iPod back to computer. if you need details, here is a guide about how to copy iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.
