iOS 4.3 drains my battery and does not auto lock

Hi Waldo,

Can you explain little bit more what you did?
I restored my iPhone. After I do so, if I do the Backup on iTunes, will I have the same problem with the battery?
And if I don't back up, will I lose all my apps?
Thanks!

Did another experiment where i turned off push for all mail, calendar, contacts and set it to manual. So far my usage is getting me about 8 hours total time on a full charge (that is up from 6.5 hours). So a little bit better. But I was getting about an hour for every 10% battery, roughly 10 hours total time on full charge.

Here are two threads with same issues:

I note in the one thread a method to reset your Microsoft Exchange account. Apparently for some people the Activesync function is continually trying to
connect via Exchange causing battery drain. I'm going to try what this guy
says to do:

I tried the reset of the Microsoft Exchange activesync, as described in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2777319

But it didn't seem to work for me. I suggest reviewing that thread because numerous solutions have been offered. Someone said to log out of the app store on your phone, but that didn't work for me either.

Currently, turn all my push notifications to manual setting has gained me a little bit of battery life. But currently only getting about 7 hours on a full charge.

Same issue as all, I have disabled Push and also noticed improvement. I did notice, with push enabled, that my exchange account would connect and check mail every 4 seconds so I suspect that is part of the issue.

Just for the record. The battery on my iPhone drained from around 75% to 40% overnight (11 p.m. to 9 a.m.) while I was using "Flight Mode"!

This issue has nothing to do with Push, GSM, 3G, WLAN because it also happens when EVERY network connection is OFF.

Even on my Ipod Touch 3G this problem occurs. Since the update to 4.3 the battery drains much faster...

6 hours of usage is kinda good? my battery cant even last 4 hours of usage.

Same thing happens here. Had 50% at 8:30 and now it is 10:05 and I have 15%. Not done anything except look for this SMS twice and take 1 phone call. Apple needs to fix this problem. It is not bc of user data. It is bc apple made yet another bad decision and didn't realize how bad this iOS is. My phone constantly stays warm as if something is running and no apps are open and no safari pages are open. Also noticed that there seems to be a little more lag when typing or trying to run certain processes. I'm not restoring my phone bc of apples screw up. They need to fix this immediately. It's ridiculous. It's as if they're trying to copy off of windows with all these lately ****** products.

try going into settings and logging out of Store.

try going into settings and logging out of Store.

In settings you can turn the app store off in the restrictions area, but you cannot "log out" of the store. Unless I'm looking at this wrong. I logged out of the store by going into the App store and scroll all the way to bottom to see your login ID. Push that button and you get a pop-up where you can select to logout.

Otherwise, you can go into restrictions and turn OFF "install apps" and "delete apps" which removes the icon from your iPhone and will not let you make changes even during a sync within iTunes.

If you log out using the first method I mentioned, every time you sync with iTunes, you will get logged back in. Two ways to achieve the same time, but each way has their own annoying qualities! The biggest of which is that this did not help my iPhone with the battery drain problem.

With me it's all the Same! Glad i could finishe this message... Lol
