After iOS5.0.1 my battery is draining at rates of 25% per hour. Initially I thought that adding my social media apps to the default notifications screen drains the battery, so I took that out. Then I started blaming other notiifcations. Next to chop off were ALL location services.
After that iCloud went on the chopping block - no online backups or any other benefit that comes with that coud computing platform. Even Find My Iphone is rurned off.
So my mobile device is not longer modile. I have to be connected to a charger several times a day. It's pretty much a brick, a zombie, none of the apps have any of those dynamic features that would notify you about online activity. Google maps does not know where I am. An YET STILL i'm seing the same BATTERY DRAIN that started soon after my iOS5.0.1 upgrage.
If you upgrade to iOS5.0.1 you are risking being attached to your charger every 3.5 hours.
