Battery - the usage and standby always the same

hi I have the same problem with my iphone 4s and i had installed an app from the store to see wich process is running in the background and I found out that it was the Iphone-Music who was constantly runing and you cant turn it off its there with the software and is draining the battery constantly even if I dont have any music on my device . I have tryed everything turn off location services reset hard reset and it didnt help I think that it may be a docking station or something who caused that error but as you can read in all the posts about the battery and standby usage there can be many facts who are causing that issue . Try to get that app and see witch process is constantly draining youre battery.

without apps it happened again. it didn't work for me 😟

😮

I had a similar problem. I seem to have fixed it by going through the Notification settings and changing 'View in Lock Screen' to Off for everything except Messages and Phone. Now my Usage seems to be more reasonable and battery life is much better. Been running now for 24 hours and battery is still at 72%! :-)

Forget that... After running for about 50 hours on half a charge (with about 3 hours legitimate usage) I received a text message and this seems to have triggered the runaway usage and battery drain.

THIS IS THE REAL SOLUTION: go to settings>General>reset>reset all settings. This fix thr problem when the ipad starts again the usage and standby counters would be different and the battery will work properly (note:when you reset all settings apps and things that you have dont reset. The only things that reset are the hour,notifications etc)

Thanks - that does seem to have helped. I don't feel quite so tethered to the power supply now ;-). I did lose some of my settings (wallpaper, sounds, wifi passwords, etc) but nothing I couldn't put back quite easily.

If this is resolved with a reset then surely it's something Apple should be able to track down and fix quite easily - it seems to have been something that's been going on for a long time. Perhaps the next update will fix it...?

After less than a week the battery drain is back along with the excessive usage symptom (currently at 15 hours 50 mins standby and 15 hours usage - I've only actually used it for perhaps two hours in that time).

So it seems to have worked for a short while. Surely you shouldn't have to do a reset every few days...

So, it looks like there's a multitude of different solutions but all have the same reason, a rogue app running in the background that won't shut down.

I've just had the same issue, a DFU reset in the iStore failed to solve the issue once I'd restored my apps. Searching round the net I found another thread suggesting location services may be the cuplrit, so I checked mine and found an app I'd recently installed (possibly when the issue started) "Field Trip" by Google of all people was constantly accessing the gps function. I've removed the app, shutdown and restarted the phone and the GPS icon has now gone. Now recharging the phone to 100% to see if the usage=standby has resolved too.

May not be the answer for everyone but hopefully useful to some 🙂

PS Could it be a sneak attack on iPhone users by Google !!! 👿

It worked 🙂
