Getting Very impatient With this 6.0.2 battery draining

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!

Hello, Many thanks you trying to help us but I had tried almost everything I can think off. I most say its definitely 6.0.2 has a major bug many people on this forum are reporting the same issues.

just hoping this matter can be resolve soon.

But it is not an iOS issue. Restore your phone as new, and you will see the problem go away. You can then restore from your backup and try to pinpoint whatever it is you installed that is causing the problem.

Glad that worked for you but looks like over 90% of the people on the forums, like me are TIRED of restoring their phones.

I even have gotten a NEW phone on 6.0.1 from the apple store to replace my 3 week old iPhone. It still has terrible wifi connection but the battery life is back to normal.

very disappointed.

I going to ask for a new phone too with 6.0.1 and why is Apple staying silent on this matter.

I had that problem on my ipod touch 4th gen. with ios 6.0 , but when they relesed ios6.1 that fixed my battery from draining
