IOS 6.1 Battery Severely Affected After Upgrade (WiFi unquiescing requested by "locationd")

Any updates on this issue? It's also happening to me 😟

I have an open case with apple engineers for this issue. Supposed to get a response by 6/10/13.

I upgraded to 613 last week from 511 and have found that the battery drain issue is real. I waited to upgrade for several reasons, but wanted better security. So, my 3gs phone drains in about 3 hours and like everyone else who has been advised,resetting this and that and turning off this and that is not a solution. I did discover though, while sitting through a 6 hour mariner game against the white soxyesterday, 16 innnings ! and mariners lost; was that If I set my : reset network settings", then it drains a charge at 1 % every 5 min, ratherthan 1 % per minute. This is with the screen saver turned off. If i black it out, it lastlonger; however, let me start using it again, and the drain is faster but not at 1% perminute. This being said, I called apple today, gave a report and hopefully they'llfix it. Its definetly a network software program issue. At least I found a temp solutionto maintain my battery life, somewhat. No iphone upgrade for me, will have to switch off if they cant solve this. Hope this helps.

Me too, i have the same issue.

I'm also a long time Apple user, but if this continues, I'm going back to Droid. Hope losing Steve Jobs hasn't caused you to trash the Mac's too. I was going to purchase a Mac Pro, but am now holding off.

What is wrong with you Apple? This is not how things should be.

Please let us know what you find out.
