Question

I installed the update ios6.1 and now my fully charged battery is drained in 45 minutes.

I installed the update IOS6.1 on Tuesday.

That night, my Ipod touch 4 had the battery drain in 1 hour, then I charged it It drained in 45 minutes.

Now the battery drains in 15 minutes if I'm on WIFI. WTH?

It was working great prior to this update!!!

This update has also affected my kids Ipod touch & Ipad mini. They too have their Ipods draining and turning off within 15 minutes.

All have plenty of GB avail.

I love the internet radio!!!

All were working great prior to this update!

This is the worst experience we've had so far with our Ipods.

We've had Ipods since their inceptions.

Any ideas on how to reverse the update or fix this battery drain problem?

Try a reset:

Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

If the above doesn't help, you may want to backup and do a Restore.

Tried that. Didnt work. And downloaded the latest update....even worse battery drain on our Ipods. I'm ready to restore it to factory settings and wipe it clean. Will see if that works. Right now I'm getting only 5 minutes of use out of my Ipod. 32G and only using 8G. Why can I not restore it to the IOS version prior to 6.1? When they worked great?! HELP
