Why does my battery drain so quickly on iPhone 5s?

Has anyone else found his/her battery draining more quickly than normal. I can begin the day at 100% and within an hour be down to 70% or even less. Is it the iOS 7.1.1 update? The data and wi-fi settings are on, which is the same setup as I had before on the iPhone 5, which ran on iOS 6. That battery lasted as advertised. Anyone with similar problems? Solutions?

Had you bothered to do even the most cursory search of this forum, not only would you have your answer, but you'd also come up with troubleshooting steps.

  • Why does my battery drain so quickly on my iphone 4s

    My iphone 4s has started to drain the battery very very quickly only up to 3 hours life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I can not have any apps on my phone any clues also my data seems to be eatten up rather quickly every  month. Any quick fix??

    Hi
    I am having similar issues. Phone was fine but from Wednesday this week it drains flat in 4 hours. It's on 63% and was 100% 2 hours ago. I'm charging my phone 4-5 times a day. Is that normal? I don't think so.
    I've turned notifications, alerts, wifi, 3G, location services all off but no difference made.
    Is this a widespread issue for users or is it something apple have instigated or maybe it's an app with a fault?

    Every time I charge it fully, when i get on it it just goes from 100 to 95 to 90 in under 5 minutes and it just dies too fast. I've recently backed it up, I have the brightness low, I even deleted a lot of unnessecary apps. Can someone please help me?

  • Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?

    Why is my battery draining so quickly after updating to Mavericks?

    1. Check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
    2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.9 or later.
    3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
    4. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
    5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Why is my battery drained so quickly on my 4S?

    Why is my battery drained so quickly on my 4S, even though I don't use apps/Internet excessively.  It says it should last 6 hours using the Internet.

    I had my iPhone use 20% of power an hour before I did the following.
    1.) Turn off iAds and diagnostics in location settings:system settings.
    2.) Turn off Calender in Notifications
    3.) If you have any exchange mail accounts ( I had 3 Gooogle accounts one set for mail and calendar, 2 set for mail only. remember when setting Google server m.google.com or it won't push to the phone.) delete them REBOOT your iPhone then redo them then Reboot one more time.
    Result: iPhone batt usage is now 4% an hour. my phone went for 19 hours with moderate (streaming, surfing, recording and viewing movies on camera app) on wifi use before getting to 5%

    Why iPad mini battery drain so quickly in sleep mode? about 35% in 7 days sleep mode (100% to 65%). Compare with my iPad 2, 7 days in sleep mode, only 2%! (100 - 98%). is it because differences in iOS? iPad mini iOS 6.0.1, iPad 2 iOS 4.3.3. I'm really frustating because of this. thanks for help

    What kind of ipad mini / ipad 2 you got?
    AFAIK,
    1. ipads drain battery with 3g/4g on (regardless on wifi or not) 1% overnight.. so for 7 days .. 65 is about correct.
    2. Are your ipads setup to receive remote push notification? (more push = more battery drain.. as the screen lit up)
    3. With iOS 6 vs iOS 4 .. there are more stuff running in the background and more toggles.. that could also contribute to battery drain.

  • Why does my battery die so quickly with iOS 7?

    Why does my battery die so quickly with iOS 7? Charged to 100%. Unplugged and opened up an hour later. Down to 88%. Why? No apps open.

    I think it might also be a bug, my 4S went down to 1% I could actually see it go down from 18% just like a watch. The phone started at about 60% and went down to 1% in about an hour but the useage still stated I had over 6 hours of stand by time, when I plugged in the phone to charge it jumped from 1% to 27%.

  • HT1629 Why does my battery drain quickly?

    I just charged it 2 hours ago and its 19% all i have been doing is surfing the net!
    Just wondering if anyone else has this problem? mine is the macbook pro mid 2012 2.9ghz
    THANKS!

    I have the same computer and I'm having the same issue.  My battery doesn't even last me through class anymore when it used to last me through all of my classes.  It also gets very hot when I am really not doing much to stress the CPU.  This all started after the latest update to 10.8.5.  I hope this gets resolved because my computer has become useless to me now. 

  • Why does my battery die so quickly after updating to iOS 6.0.2 on the iPhone 5!?

    Is there a fix to this or do we have to wait for the next update? My iPhone has become a useless 2-hour-running brick in my pocket...

    Yes, my battery is draining quickly and recharging slowly.  Search is extremely slow, aol email won't work.  Kindle app all messed up, lost all on device but have it backed up on amazon.  I have slowly been discovering all that is wrong since Sunday's debacle of an update.  Apple deleted a post siting improper just because i told the truth.  They can delete all they want but this is one  screwed up mess and they are desperate.

  • My iPad2 battery drains very quickly - why

    My iPad2's battery drains very quickly - I have removed al Notifications; On my mail set up I have selected "Off" for fetch new data - It drains even while it is in sleep mode.  I definitely don't get anywhere close to 10 hours of battery life.  What else should I be doing?

  • My battery drains really quickly after upgrading to OS X Yosemite

    I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite.   After doing so, my battery drains VERY quickly.  About 1 percent per minute.   Is there any fix for this?   Can I roll back my OS?  

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
