Since updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.0.2, my battery life have decreased. Just wondered if anyone else was having the same issue?
Apple do you have a fix for this problem??
iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1
Hello, Guys getting the same issues here to update to 6.0.2 on Thursday night battery drained 40% overnight just tried DFU restore via itunes same issue with battery.
I'm having the same problem. Battery life has been horrible since the update. 1 phone call & it drops way down. Was getting excellent battery life before.
Pls help ! I'm also facing rapid battery drain on my Iphone 5 after updated to IOS 6.0.2. My battery loss 40% overnight about 8hours during my sleep time. With Location and Notifications OFF. The battery drain even faster if I use it to play games.
1. An about 10 minutes of game time on Subway Surf = Loss 12% .
2. An about 10 minutes of game time on Clash of Clans = Loss 14%
3. A quick browing and reading a short article (2-3mins) on Cnet about IOS 6.0.2 draining battery = Loss 5%.
4. Open and sent 4 short messages on Whatsapp = Loss 2% instantly.
All above with volume off & brightness at 50% .
APPLE PLS DO SOMETHING FAST !! MY PHONE IS JUST ONE WEEK OLD 😟
I have the same problem. what the ****. This is really dissapointing me. Did noone test this before?? How can i downgrade, i didnt even got a wifi problem before! HELP.
*deleted comment* Its Christmas day. 🙂
Any you guys tested with the phone switch off had mine 100% full battery before switch it off overnight ( 8Hour period) switched back on today only 55% battery left.
See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4611529?tstart=100 which apparently is now closed, so nobody can add to it.
Problem solved by itself... after two days of draining. The phone now isn't warm and battery return as usual. I don't have an answer to that, but it's a good news for Christmas!
I have a battery drain problem too.
Charged overnight to 100%, its now 3.30pm and I'm down to 26%.
Need a fix ASAP
Just comparing my iPhone5 with mums iPhone4S its eating battery quicker (and I have less stuff on in the iPhone5).
Only difference really is Mum is on 6.0.1 and I am on 6.0.2.
annoying; but luckily for me it's manageable as I work from my car so charging during work isn't a biggie.
still needs fixing tho 😟
iPhone 5 used to last the day on a full charge. I'm now seeing approx. 20% less battery life on 6.0.2 and phone requires charging before I go to bed. Absolute nuisance.
"Fix one thing, screw another thing up" seems to be Apple's motto for 2012...
All these complaints and still no response from anyone who works for Apple???
Solution:
This is what Apple Support told me to do:
Thx Dbbd will give it a go
I am getting very acceptable battery life from my new iPhone 5 running 6.0.2 - 2 days per charge minimum. The key (as it has been for a few years) is to close inactive applications that use location services. There is a short delay in opening these power hungry apps when you want them, but that is more than compensated for in not having to worry about running out of battery power.
Maps are the worst battery drainers and navigating from place to place will burn power rapidly. I use a car charger during navigation. Some apps have been worse than other - Groupon was bad at first, and Cyclemeter or MapMyRide (fitness apps) will drain the battery even when not active. I leave Safari running full time without problem. Some apps are more efficient than others so I suggest experimenting.
To close applications double click to launch the app switcher, press and hold any application until they all jiggle, then touch the red close button of the apps you don't want running.
Hope this helps!
