Same issue with me. After upgrade to 5.0.1 my phone will not charge back to 100%. I talked on it for 10 min and it dropped 5%. Hello Apple! What gives here? I wish I could go back to 5.0!
i agree with that same thing happen to me too
I've noticed it's draining the battery faster after updating to 5.0.1.
I seem to be having several issues with my iphone 4s.
I have the latest 5th Gen airport extreme and I just updated it to 7.6 the other day.
I'm running Lion 10.7.2 on my iMac i7, on both macbook pro's, ios 5.0.1 on the ipod touch 4th gen, ipad 2 and my iphone 4s. Both my apple TV's are running the latest updates as well. Everything is working perfectly on all devices. My phone is the only issue. I'm dropping from wireless at home constantly and battery is worse since the latest update. I've reset my phone reset the wireless and I can't even connect to wireless with the iphone, but everything else is fine with all the other devices.
Any suggestions?
Having the same problem as everyone else. I have an iPhone 4 that had iOS 5.0 and never had a problem with battery life, now that I've updated to iOS 5.0.1 the battery life is extremely short! Too bad I didn't see this forum before updating. I wish there was a way to revert back to iOS 5.0
no problems before the ios5.1 update. no im always charging cause the battery degrades rapidly.
And this, folks, is why it's unwise to update unless you deem it absolutely necessary. While that advice won't help those dealing with this battery issue, some good may come of all this. If the phone is working fine, leave it alone. If you feel you absolutely have to update, check on some forums (such as this one) and read up on the problems others are having before updating. You'll save yourself a lot of aggravation that way.
I have an iPhone 4 with normal battery life and after reading all your comments I am really scared to update my phone to iOS 5.0.1 .......................LOL
It's scary.....vewy, vewy scary. LOL
What do you think Laura should I update my phone or just wait?
Please dont update to IOS 5.0.1
I have no complains with my iPhone 4 battery at all, it works perfect, no fast battery drian.
I certainly did not have any problems. It seems to vary user to user for some reason, I would update.
Do you really think so, thanks.
