No. Only thing I can suggest is bring it to an apple store and have them look at it. Also another thing you can do is let it run all the way down until it dies completely on it's own and then recharge to a full charge. Sometimes the battery percentage gets thrown off with an update and needs to be recalibrated.

Imagine if Ford had a problem with 0.001% of its cars. That's OK. Those cars can blow up - look at all the cars that work.... What a bogus argument. People are on here looking for help and they're meant to give you a break? Why? Am I supposed to take it on the chin that my phone doesn't work just because most other people's phones do? You give me a break.

I agree fully AD...you expressed it better than I could.


Whether or not KC thinks we are whiners is not important.


What is important is that this problem with battery drainage started in October 2012 and Apple did not release an attempted fix until roughly 2 weeks ago.


It is unaceptable in the year 2013 that people have to wait for a potenial fix for almost 4+ months. This is not 1974. Computers are not rare things and it does not take a team brainiacs from MIT to solve complex coding problems.

Hi all, u might wanna have a look at this website, had the same problem of battery draining really fast after upgrading to the ios 6.1.2, so i was looking everywhere for some tips and I believe i finally found it by following the first and 2nd step on this website, I think my battery is back to how it was before upgrading to the ios6.1.2. Hopefully this will help u too.

Perfect - thank you. I did the same and battery levels back to normal and no more overheating. I don't know if it was reinstalling exchange email or switching off push email (or both) but the combination of both has worked. I stopped updating my MacBook because of similar issues and it looks like I need to stop updating my iPhone too. Shame but apple need to work on these issues long term. I hope others have been able to resolve their problems too.

Guys, it's not your phone. My wife and I have the same 4s. She mistakenly "upgraded" to 6.0 when it came out and has had rediculous battery life ever since. Apple is basking in the glory that their OS is so popular and that everyone is upgrading because they LOVE it. I say it is because we keep hoping they FIX their problems. I sure am glad I didn't "upgrade" and my wife wishes she could just "put it back".
