I didn't have any problems with 6.1.2, but ever since upgrading to 6.1.3, the battery life has been terrible. It's affecting my iPhone 4S and my wife's iPhone 4. I haven't changed any settings, including Exchange. What's happened with this latest "update" that's killing our battery life?
I don't know, but my battery life is VERY bad after the update. I have used it for 36 minutes and it has gone from 100% to 87%.
I had same issue. I did a google search for battery drain fast and found a topic on here. A few recently had same issues, they all said to delete all mail acts and then shut phone down and restart, then reinstall one at a time, let each one load all mail before installing the next. This fixes my, I've only dropped 2% in 3 hours.
interesting. thanks for that tidbit. ill give it a try. 🙂
Mine has gone from 100% to 43% in 1 hour.
What is going on?
Guys & gals, try this.
1. Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts
2. Go to each e-mail address including iCloud and turn off mail, contacts, calendars, etc. Leave data on iPhone. Turn off Push on everything, and leave it at Fetch or Manual.
3. Kill all running apps.
4. Reset the phone by pressing lock and home buttons simultaneously for 10 sec until you see an Apple icon.
5.Turn everything back on except for the Push.
6. If problems persists, run the battery down until phone shuts off and charge for four hours.
Hope this helps.
No offense, but this is like a Windows patch requiring a full reformat of the hard drive and reinstall of the entire OS and every program.
No thanks. Apple just needs to fix it. You know, so "it just works".
I started to have problem with battery draining fast since ios 6.1.2, but after update it became even more drastic. For example, i charged my iphone 4s till 100% and played a game for 15 mins and saw battery drained to 48%, then another 5 mins of playing it became 23% till it died completely.
what game were you playing? some games need an internet connection so if you're in a spotty area signal-wise then you would crush your battery.
Once upon a time the Scrabble app would kill my 100% charged 3GS to shutdown in nearly 20 mins.
