iOS 6 battery drain fix

Hopefully this will work for others as it worked for me.


I experienced extreme battery drain since upgrading from iOS 5 to 6. My Usage and Standby times (since the last full charge) were almost identical.


After weeks/months of research, a few trips to the local Apple store and several phone resets, I finally came across a post in the Apple Communities (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4317941?start=165&tstart=0) (see second post on page from PeterJA) which helped solve my battery drain problem.


This is what I did to solve the problem:


  1. Went to Settings/General/Restrictions.
  2. Clicked Enable Restrictions and turned off Safari and FaceTime.
  3. Reset my phone.
  4. Went back to Restrictions and turned on Safari and FaceTime.
  5. Disabled Restrictions.


Cheers.


iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3
