Battery life after updating to 6.1.2

I posted the same problem yesterday. Mine and my sons both are draining twice as fast as before we updated!

Have to agree I never had battery issues, installed 1.6.2 and now it goes in a few hours

I updated my iOs to 6.1.2 last week and three days ago, I began to notice that the battery depletes VERY fast.

I woke up at 7am to find my battery fully charged & unplugged it. Slept for 3 more hours and found my battery at 47%. This never happened on my phone with previous updates and even on my iPhone 4s.

I already tried several suggested fixes written on the discussions and it won't seem to work. I "erase my iPhone", did a hard reset, removed my sim and it all don't fix it. Almost tried to illegally downgrade my iOs but I decided not to. Guess I'd just better wait in vain for Apple to fix it themselves with a more credible andreliable iOs update.

Anyone having the same problem?

I did try this and it seems to have improved the situation. For 5 hours it is only down 15% today. I drained the battery down to about 20%, then fully charged it, powered it down and back up (twice). Seems it may have helped some

The only way I fixed my issue was to reformat as a new phone, rather than from backup.

Nope working fine here on my 4S

Thanks KC. Can you lend us your phone when the rest of us are plugged in? I'm not trying to pick a fight, which it seems like many people are on this issue for some reason. Us paying users come here for advise on how to fix things, not on the stauts of others who have perfectly working phones, and want to make legitimate threads into arguments.

All went fine on the former days having the update. I reset my phone and erase all content and setting. I chose set up as new iPhone and hoped for the best. Didn't work either.

I just hope Apple would address this issue right away.

I'll give that one a shot. Thanks nputzer!

After renovation before 6.1.2 my iPhone 4S became better to keep the charge to batteries! The Statistics of the use: rotational latency 5 days 6 hours. Time of the use 4 hours. On telephone Wi-Fi enclosed constantly.

Cathil asked if anyone else was having the problem and I answered no. What is wrong with that. Sounds like you are picking a fight. Fact is there are millions upon millions of phones that work fine and that a very small percentage have problems which are most likely a rouge app that isn't 100% compatible with iOS 6.1.2

Also I am a paying user too. None of us pay for access to this forum and it is free so what is your point there?

KC: Obviously I mistook the meaning in your reply, as you may have with mine. I am far from trying to ruffly anybodies feathers. I apologize. Thr trouble with forums, is that you cannot tell the tone of somebody, especially if their reply is short and fast.

There are several threads on battery issues, and several commentors who respond by telling people that only a small percent of phones have this issue. Knowing that somebody else's phone is fine unfortunately gives us little info about how we might fix our own phone. You obviously meant no harm, but others make it sound like all of us are crazy to even ask for possible fixes for our $500 "smart" phones. Most of us read other people's replys, and try those fixes and they don't all fix the problem. I am not just blindly asking for help, but genuinely tried most of the obvious thigns first.

I've owned 4 iphones since 2007. Both my wife and my new phones have this issue. I fixed mine by totally reformatting the phone from "new". So eventhough only 5% of iphones might be affected, 100% of my iphones are affected. and I paid upwards of $800 for them. That is all I meant by "paying" I realize that everybody here are users and not Apple folk, so I avoid making derogatory comments about Apple.

Has Last night done the telephone full charge to batteries! in 5 hours in mode of the waiting charge to batteries 100 percents! I you have advised to do several full cycles of the charge and category to batteries from 0-100%.

Hi Friend,

I faced the same problem, then I figured out about. Pressing and holding Home/Sleep buttons makes a simple reset in the idevice that has solved this issue for me.

Hope it helps
