unless you really need it make sure it's not showing as it mean your batt life is in peril

I tried a number things incuding upgrading the software to the newly released fix for pdf vunerabilities 4.3.4. All were not helpfull. The likely culprit was Exchange mail for me. I noticed that while in All Mailboxes that ever few seconds the activity icon was indicating activity.

I turned off my exchange mail account and it stopped and so did the excessive battery drain . A check of the usage tab in general settings confirmed that this was the culprit as activity droped to near zero .

I then deleted and reinstalled the Exchange Mail account . As soon as it started the problem continued. I then went into the mail settings for Exchange Mail and under folders to push I checked each folder, ie. sent, deleted etc. . When I checked the sent mail folder I heard the sound as if an email had been sent . I then set up the account so that only the inbox was pushed .

I don't have a technical background for these things, but I can only guess that during the upgrade process on of my sent emails got stuck or caught in a loop. Activating push on that folder freed it, causing the software to stop trying to send every few seconds.

I imagine the problem could potentially happen with gmail or other types of email accounts. In the future I will set my phone in airplane mode with the wireless turned off before attempting to upgrade rhe software on the phone .

I am having the same issue since upgrading to 4.3.4 on my iPhone 4 a few nights ago - battery drains from 100% to 0% in a matter of 5 to 6 hours on Standby! I have tried eveything except doing a restore. There are a number of posts that state that the battery drain could be fixed if a restore as new phone is performed. I guess my question is whether performing a restore and restore from backup would fix this issue or would I have to perform a restore as new phone?

Same issue here with my iphone 4.

I just upgraded to IOS 4.3.4 and noticed that my battery started draining very fast. it went from 100% to dead in less than 5 hours (the phone was mainly standing by during this time).

I also noticed that under Settings > General > Usage: usage time is = to standby time (these 2 values used to be significantly different before the update).

All the apps were turned off and still the battery was draining very very fast. I was running 4.3.3 before the update and the battery used to last for a couple of days with extensive usage of voice, data, apps and music all that while wifi, bluetooth, 3g always on and 1 push exchange email account and 5 other POP email accounts fetching every 5 min.

Apple, please get it right and tell us how to remedy to this issue as it seems to affect a lot of users judging by the amount of posts on line. and please don't just get back to us with the basic answers like "kill the apps in the background" or "Soft reset your device" or "turn ping off" ...I've done all that with no success.

Also, don't try to convince me that the power drain is normal because it's just not... I've had this iphone 4 for about 8 months and I know it inside out... the battery lasted for 2 days on the last charge before the update.

PLEASE HELP.

It's not normal, but the culprit is not 4.3.4. This problem occurs to a few phones after every update, going back almost 4 years. It is probably the result of corrupted data on the phone. A search of the forum will turn up many different causes and many different solutions. Restoring as New will always fix it, but is rather drastic. Identifying what is causing it on YOUR phone is the trick (and isn't easy). But, if you have a Push email account, as a start delete the account, reboot the phone, and add it back. This is the most common cause.

I too have noticed a great increase in battery drain since the latest update. Prior to 4.3.4 my battery lasted 3 days. Now it drops to about 40% or less in one day. Only email I have running is Gmail. As far as I know, I have everything turned off, push, locating etc etc except for the Bluetooth which I have always left on.

I am using 4.3.1 still. I had to go with 4.3.1 because silly me upgraded from 4.2.x to 4.3.0 and that created issues that 4.3.1 resolved as indicated in the change log.

The battery issue seems to come up every time a new upgrade to the IOS is available. I've posted this before. I will NEVER update again unless the new update has features (and we're not talking security issues which I am not concerned about) that I MUST have.

I am very frustrated at these idiots releasing a badly tested update.

I too am having this - phone now lasts 4 hours

Seems like a restore from iTunes has helped my battery issue. Did the restore from a previous back up and it only lost 3% of battery over night. So maybe that did it. If not, will try the restore from new.

There is a problem. Install ConsoleLog from App Store. Look at the log daemon apsd.I have about every 10 minutes in the log message: <APSCourier: 0x1f525050>: Stream error occurred for <APSTCPStream: 0x1f528f60>: Error Domain = NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code = 54 "The operation couldnt be completed. Connection reset by peer" UserInfo = 0x1f52fa40 {} Unable to cancel system wake for% data_time% IOPMCancelScheduledPowerEvent () returned 0xe00002f0 Because of this, the phone in standby mode wakes up, it can be seen on the activity of Wi fi. Solution: Exit Account App Store. I spent a lot of time trying to understand why this is happening, but did not find an answer and a different solution. I wrote about this at Apple.
