i know there is a ton of threads out there already about iphone 5 batter drain issues.
i want to know;
1. is there a legit fix for this?
2. is there any update coming SOON from apple to fix this?
i work in sports and i need my phone to work; i cant have it plugged in all the time. if thats the case i might as well go with landline again.
can someone make a suggestion here.
Thanks
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

recalibrate your battery, let the battery fully drain, until your phone shuts off and then fully charge without using it.
If the link and the recalibrate don't work, then restore your phone as new.
2. you'll know as the rest of us, when apple announces the next update.
Forgot to ask ,what exactly are you doing with your phone for it to only last 2 hours?

i'll try this. Thanks.
do you recommend those battery Dr. Apps? do they even work?
- this is the thing, i dont do anything crazy; standard stuff like checking emails, responding to txt's; phone calls that last no more than 5-6mins tops. But i've noticed that i used to be able to run all day without issues, and recently (i'd say about a month) i'll use it for 20mins and and i'll see it go from 100% to 65% in a flash... it messes me up for the rest of the day.
even today for example... i saw this reply on my phone and i was at 36%. by the time i read the post, did all the recommended things in the article; the phone died. and that took no more than 10mins to do all that. so i'm stumpped.
never had this problem before, then poof.... and i have 4 iphones; (iphone 5, iphone 4s and 2 iphone 4's) iphone 5 and 4s are on ios7 and have this same problem; the 4's are still on ios 6 and are running like well oiled machines. i hope this works.
any other suggestions, send them my way. and i'll keep you posted on my end.
thanks for the help.
I had exactly the same problem a few months ago after installing iOS7 on my iPhone 5.
Took it to the Genius Bar, waited two minutes after I walked in, assistant checked the phone, said there was some unidentified problem draining battery, restored phone, came home, restored from backup, worked fine. Total time: probably 1 hour.
Good luck.

So far your suggestion to re-calibrate the battery is working. The battery life has improved ALOT!
