i have iphone 4s as soon i upgraded to 6.1 my phone is overheating and the battery drains munch faster. Who else have the same problem?
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1
Experiencing the same issue with an iPhone 5. As soon as I updated to iOS 6.1, the phone began to overheat and drained a fully charged battery in 20 minutes.
I'm dumbfounded. I've read every forum on the problem and Apple is just sitting by like a bump on a log! I'm about to turn off my device and get a Windows 8 phone. I'm VERY disappointed in the lack of support from Apple on this issue. Their level of customer support is dismal! I'll experiment later today and post results...maybe I can help Apple customers since they are unwilling or incapable.
Continuing this effort...
1) I deleted ALL Exchange accounts on my phone. The overheating and battery consumption went AWAY within 5 minutes. I left the phone like that for about 3 hours.
2) I added back ONE of the Exchange accounts. Within 5 minutes, my phone was hot to the touch and the battery was draining at a rate of 5 percent every 10 minutes (or so).
3) I have, once again, removed the Exhange account. The phone is cool to the touch.
OBVIOUSLY, there is an issue with iPhone and the Exchange server settings.
OBVIOUSLY, the problem is being ignored by Apple.
Thanks...have a nice day!
Yup, i was going to post this once I got home this weekend.
Noticed this issue as soon as I upgraded once 6.1 was released.
Battery drains so quickly & even with a few apps open, my 4s heats up badly to a point where it could be considered dangerous..
Apple NEED to fix this ASAP. This is not safe/good enough
It's a problem that will require an update from apple. iOS 6.1.1 should be out within a week or so.
I have iOS 6.1.2 and my 4s is over heating to the point where I don't want an iPhone, does anyone have an update on the issue
One and Only...
You said, "I have iOS 6.1.2 and my 4s is over heating to the point where I don't want an iPhone, does anyone have an update on the issue."
My issues resolved with update 6.1.1 an 6.1.2. The overheating STOPPED. However, I deleted AND added back my main exchange account. I have NOT reinstalled my GMAIL account using the Apple mail application. Instead, I now use the free gmail app for all of my google mail.
My ONLY suggestion...if you have a gmail account, use it only with the gmail app. It is widely known that google will try to sabotage apple at every available opportunity. This MAY be one of those instances.
Other than that...I have nothing.
Good luck.
I'm having the same issue. Visit the Apple Store twice, no much support from them.
It actually help me with the decision of changing to a different brand.
I am having the same problem. My iPhone 4S mainly heats up when playing games and also a little with normal useing the web
It's normal for it to heat up playing games that have animated graphics, and when using the web, especially when on cellular data rather than WiFi. It will get much warmer with a weak signal than with a strong because the phone must increase its output power to maintain a connection.
I think it's something to do with the iOS as many people are complaining about the same problem. I have never got this problem before.
Think whatever you want, but if you actually want to fix it you will still have to find the app that is causing it. Many people have complained about it for almost 6 years. All of them had never had the problem prior to complaining about it.
When I say many people have the same problem . I was talking about iOS 6.1.2 heating and battery drain
How about the people who have heating and battery drain problems with EVERY OTHER version of iOS ever released? If you insist that it must be a problem with iOS 6.1.2 specifically you will never be rid of it. If you troubleshoot it yourself it will be resolved in a few minutes.
Here's a list of complaints similar to yours going back 5 years:

There is definitely a problem with Mail. Going back to when i started noticing the drainage of the battery and the overheating i had just changed settings for automatic fetch every 15 min. This helped in draining battery as fast as 100% in less than 4 hours. I set it to manual fetch and big difference it drains normally and does not overheat. It still is Apple's responsibility to address this problems. Thanks for tip of looking into mail settings.
