iOS 6.1.1 Didn't fix the Battery drain (4S)

I did the update last night and I'm still having the battery drain problem too.

It's not your appreciation! The battery drain with iOS 6.1.1 it's worse and I still have the problem with the 3G conectivity!

I want to ask Apple that I demand to return to iOS 6.0 pls...

Mine is sooooo much worse. My iPhone's battery was dead after about 3 hours. I am extremely displeased.

same for me. never had any issues with the battery, but since the 6.1.1 update yesterday a full charge only lasts 4h - without touching the phone at all. (gps, bluetooth off). This is really frustrating. Plus, you can feel that the device gets really hot - so, something is running.

I guess it's apples way of telling us to buy a new iphone... lol

I can confirm, that 6.1.1 didn't fix the battery drain problem. Prior to IOS 6.1 my battery would last almost 2 days with light usage. Today with IOS 6.1.1, my battery went from 100% down to 26% in 6 hours. I only sent 2 text messages.

Same for me. After i do the update to IOS 6.1.1 battery drain problem not solved. Even worse than in 6.1

please do something.😠

Thank deggie

fixed it for me. Initially deactivated the exchange account, which already worked. Tonight I'll go through the entire procedure of deleting and setting it up again, but at least I know what works on my iPhone...

Interestingly enough I did not have this issue with 6.1. Only 6.1.1

Guys try a restore or ever a DFU restore especially if you updated OTA. I have 6.1.1 and battery is fine. So the iOS isnt necessarily the problem. That link about exchange is a common issue. In the past it was mail in ActiveSync creating the same problem. Constant running and heating up battery. Symptom other than heat is standby and usage is the same. Anyway try the restore or DFU restore and see how it goes. iOS 6.1.1 can work. I have 2 exchange accts (gmail) with mail and calendar sync and all is fine. Not to say that it may not get hung up but so far so good even with exchange.

The article is a little misleading, because it implies that this is uniquely a 6.1 problem. However, a scan of the forums will show that this particular issue with Exchange goes back 5 years to the first version that supported Exchange, and the fix was the same then as it is now - turn off or delete the account, reboot, and add it back. This isn't as big a deal as it sounds, because the Exchange server will resync pretty quickly over WiFi.

The note that there were 20,000 views is also misleading; there was a similar thread for iOS 5 that had 1.5 MILLION views. 20,000 views is not many for forums as busy as these.

Here's what I did that seems to have fixed my battery draining problem.

I had a recurring calendar event with no end date in my Exchange calendar hosted at my work. I removed it AND restarted my device a couple of hours ago. I touched nothing else. Now my battery is still sitting at the same level and my device is cool to the touch.

Hopefully this helps someone else.

My phone "dies" at 9-6%, I try to turn it back on but it won't. Then when I plug it back in, it turns on right away, saying it was at the same percentage as it was when it died. It doesn't die at the normal 0%. I updated the phone to 6.1.1 and it still has the same problem.
