iOS 6.1 Battery Life

Lol Michael, my battery life has increased by updating to 6.1.2. I get 7+ usage time with 20+ hours standby, I am a frequent user of my iphone. Perhaps it's because I got it replaced a few months ago that my battery life is good? If u had ur iphone for more than a year the battery life decreases through wear and tear!

Yes I have upgraded and pleased wit the battery improvement. I do not use no exchange crap just simple, wifi most of the time, whatsapp, phone calls, music and some games and the battery life has increased from 4-6 hours usage time to 7+!!

Well, yeah, but enable 3G and mobile data and see if your battery drains? If it does, I will NOT update. Cause I have that problem with 6.1 already.

Yes my 3G mobile data is ALWAYS on I never turn it off even when connected to wifi

Okey. Did you have serious issues with it prior to 6.1.2?

I was on 6.0.1 and I only had short battery usage times, sometimes poor reception on the 3 network everything else was fine, but I upgraded to 6.1.2 the first day it came out suddenly my battery life has increased and I have full reception most of the time, everything thing else is spot on. I've seen other posts which say their battery life has gone worse but it my case it hasn't.

after reading ur comment, i m gaining some courage to install the 6.1.2 update. btw, which version of iphone do u use? did u install 6.1.2 through itunes?

Know what? Just install it, then follow these steps:

1. Do the IOS update (the one that is the latest, or if you already did or have it downloaded, then proceed to step 2)
2. Reset All Settings: SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET ALL SETTINGS
3. Use it until it dies (automatically shuts off)
4. Plug into Charge
5. Leave it 1.5 hours or longer after it reaches 100% --> Undisturbed (preferably overnight)
6. Give it a few days to Calibrate

Upgraded to 6.1.2 IM LOSING MY MIND> my battery is draining about 1% a minute!!! This is just awful.... Everything im reading tells me that restoring to factory settings will not fix this issue as you are still stuck with 6.1.2 ??????

I updated to 6.1.2 on my iPhone 4S and my battery drain slowed dramatically. When I would be out of juice at the end of the day at say 4pm and that was WITH a Mophie, I'm now wrapping up at Midnight with 66%. I need the Mophie because I commute through a dead zone for Sprint and my battery drains faster than it would if I were in a solid zone.

6.1.2 is a far sight better than the previous updates IMHO.

The problem probably isn't with 6.1.2, or everyone would have problems. My guess is something goes wrong during the updating process. Restoring is probably the only way to go.

Im trying to restor to factory settings now and will see if this helps my battery !!! I will post soon to let people know if this is working for me

Hello,

I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation, running IOS 6.1.2. I understand you are having problems with your Ipod/Ipad/Iphone, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.🙂

Where are you reading that? Here in these forums? Read more as there are a lot of posters saying otherwise. Yes a restore helps most of the time (not always as its apparent here). But especially if you updated OTA. Also I would run the settings>reset>reset all settings first and setup as new when prompted (it doesnt actually wipe ur device and set as new so all your apps and stuff will remain) Dont select the restore backup option as you dont need it. It does not delete your stuff.. Just your wifi networks and wallpaper will have to be entered again

I went to the Apple store yesterday to have diagnostics run on my phone. They did a DFU restore on my phone (different from regular restore in iTunes that updates the firmware as well as the software). I have not added back any email accounts or apps and ran the battery down until it shut off last night. Unplugged it from the charger this morning around 7:00 and it was at 100% until 11:57 AM (with location services ON). That time included receiving and sending several texts, placing 2 phone calls, and 5 minutes of talk time. Yesterday, that amount of talk time would have easily drained my battery by at least 3-5% and my total drain would have been about 10-12%. I'm going to slowly add thing back to my phone and observe the battery as I go to see what happens after each change.
