iOS 6.1.3 battery drainage

Last night I updated my iPhone 4S to a iOS 6.1.3 and now it drains my battery in extremely fast manner. As I started signing in to write this question from my iPhone I already lost 13% of my battery. I never had a problem with a battery and ive been using iphones since the first one. i miss my morning class because of it because my alarm clock didn't because my phone was dead. Please fix it or have no choice but buy Samsung GS4

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3

Hi all!

Have problem with software update 6.1.3.

iPhone 5, MTS Ukraine cellular


For example:

6.1.2 sofware

11:00 pm close all apps, wifi and 3G off, full charge, 100%, disconnect charger, I'm sleeping

08:00 am 100% battery


6.1.3 sofware

11:00 pm close all apps, wifi and 3G off, full charge, 100%, disconnect charger, I'm sleeping

08:00 am 97% battery


After use some program I have more problem with charge after update 6.1.3

Apple, help!


Sorry, my English isn't good.

Getting ridiciolous now! 3 updates and still very very poor battery life! Used my iPhone with brightness down sound off and background apps closed on FaceBook messenger on 3G with WIFI off (I wasnt moving so it wasn't searching for a mast all the time).. It dropped from 71% at 7:15am to 21% at 9am!


Seriously considering going to Android if this isn't sorted soon! I use it at school the same amount of time every day (fully charged in morning) and normally got home it was in he 70 or 80s percentage wise. Now it's in the low 60s or 50 percent! 😠



SORT IT OUT

I have the 4s (Verizon) and have noticed a significant difference in the battery. Generally I would go to work on a full charge and with little use leave around 80%, yesterday after almost no use the phone was down to 40% and once I started texting I had to charge the phone.


I was going to pickup the 5 this weekend for the LTE, I'm thinking I'll hold off to see how Apple responds.

I don't think it has anything to do with apps or processes or logging out of the App Store.


The OS is fine and then something happens after a charge that it displays the incorrect percentage.


Obviously if you turn everything off and the Data your battery will last longer. But then. What's the point of having a Smart Phone?


Those are 2 different issues. 1 is the drain of iCloud and other services. The other is the OS displaying the wrong percentage.


If like me, you reset at 11% and it comes back at 18% then there's an issue. Now I know it'll be fine for a few days. Then crap out again. Again I'll have to calibrate and hard reset it until it behaves again. If I don't hard reset and do all that, turning off this and that won't make any difference because its still displaying the wrong percentage.
