Q: 5.0.1 update--even worse battery life

I'm finding battery life is lot better if I have WiFi turned off. Any app usage with Wifi connected to an Apple Express basestation on N affects battery noticeably.

battery far worse after upade... what the **** apple...

I was losing battery life by the minute with 5.0. I disabled push notifications and most location services, and saw some improvement. I was excited to download the new 5.01 "fix" last night. I re-enabled all the services, taking Apple at their word. My battery has now gone from 100% to 55% in two hours with not much use. Once again, I've disabled the services hoping to regain what I've lost. In another board, people have been advocating hard resets, but I'm really trying to avoid that. C'mon Apple -- give us a break!

I had the same problem, then I reseted my phone and fixed the problem (hopefully). I know resetting doesn't change the iOS version, but it seems like it is working foor me. Two hours in, I am still at 100%.

what did you do in the 2 hours? just stanby?

They release 5.0.1 (maybe beta )to calm down users.

i did not install yet.......if i install and got worse  how to get back to 5.0?

TY

I have the same problem!!! I guess we will have to leave it on the charger but that is not good for the battery long-term so I guess we will have to wait for Apple to get on the ball and fix this!!!!

I have this problem too (iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1)

Draining 1% per minute when screen is on, 10% per hour when in standby. Update did not work

Same here was at 100 percent at 740 this morning now I'm at 53 percent with little to no usage.

Iphone 4

IOS 5.0.1

I too have noticed worse battery. It stays at 100% for longer, but goes into freefall afterwards. When im using my phone on safari etc.. it literally drops 1% every minute. Ive turned nearly all location services off, turned off siri-raise to speak too. I dunno what to do, the battery life is terrible! I even tried restoring the phone, that didnt work either

What a fix apple!!!! Battery even worse now after 5.0.1 update! Get with the program!!

I went back to iOS5 this morning after reading that iOS5 ist still signed. I tested iOS5.0.1 last night. First impression was that it went very hot on the upper right. I took it off the charger on 100%. It stayed on 100 for about 20 minutes and than went down rapidly % by % each two minutes.

Sorry Apple, but we are still waiting for you to fix it. 4s ist worst iPhone I ever had at this time. You need to be more offensive with informations now.

wow... overnight i must of lost at least 50% of charge right after the 5.1 update.

same thing happened the first night i got the 4S..... everything was synced, etc. 

what the **** is my phone doing when im asleep? turning into a warewolf at night>?

still love this thing... just dont get it

i have iphone 4 and iphone 3gs!

with iphone 4, is the same situation!

with iphone 3gs i have BIGGGGGGG PROBLEMSSSSSS!

1) every 8-10 minutes iphone restart when i use or download app or go in safari or in call !

2): when i use wifi iphone...restart or block.... -.-

3)The biggest problem, indecent! I do not get more calls and sms, the phone call is ringing, and my 3g just updated, remains, or in standby or lock screen, not able to receive and then answer the call, same thing for text messages, indecent! but what the ****'s going on Apple?

Also if I call (on this 3g) just finished the call, the iPhone crashes!
