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
all i know for battery life, constantly closing my apps properly keeps life, also not always having location services on and keeping it on silent with no vibrate helps. obvious they are though
screen brightness and also since i experienced this issue with 6.1.3 i did the following and it worked for me (listed this on page 3 but ill re list of people havent looked through the post)
go to settings - mail, contacts, calendars
go into icloud mail and turn each switch off one by one making sure you select the save to iphone option not delete
then repeat this on each email account folder
once all are at off ensure all apps are closed and hard reset phone (home and power) this will restart the phone after a few seconds
let it start up and then go back into the same settings and turn each switch back to on
im not sure if it will work for everyone but it worked for me so if youve not tried it, its worth a go, and seems less complicated than deleting all your apps and having wifi and 3g off etc
hope it works for you
The most I've been able to casually use my iPhone 4s for is about 8 hours while connected to my home wifi. Anytime I'm on the AT&T 4G cellular network, the battery life is absolute garbage. During lunch today, my battery drained from 68% to 42% in a little over an hour just from surfing the Facebook app and Safari. I'm planning on getting the iPhone 5s in a month or so, so hopefully the battery life will be better on that phone with the new ios 7 software. I just find it a **** shame to have to turn off/restrict numerous features in order to get serviceable battery life at best.
I've commented on here before but the battery life of both mine and my wife's iPhone 4 (both with IOS 6) has, this week gone crazy. From full charge, with nothing running and no usage, my wife's phone goes to 10% in less than 8 hours. Mine was not as bad as this but today... charged to 100% at 14:15; again with NOTHING running (no bluetooth OR wifi OR apps) it was at 90% within an hour and now less than two hours later it's at 84%. I can practically see the indicator ticking down. Both phones are about 18 months old.
IOS 7, from what I read makes it worse so I've no plans to go there.
Mine did exactly the same, was great then overnight went from a full day usage to 4hours. I thought the battery was shot so had a new one fitted. Still the ssme problem. After a second charge of the day the battery died at 5pm. I put it on charge at 9pm over night and the phone never came back on again. Had to have original battery fitted as it had 18% when i had it changed to get the phone back on. Tried fully charging it then switching it off for an hour to see if it still drained and when i switched it back on it would be at 90%??? Tried all sorts of suggested ways and nothing helps. This problem just occured overnight. Unfortunatly my battery died again before i could charge it in time and once again im without my iphone 5! This needs sorting
Yes, there is a fix, the same ones that have worked for over 5 years when this problem occurs (as it has for over 5 years), just read the thread you posted to.
Yeah it worked now. You just have to wait. I just expected Apple wouldn't allow this kind of mistakes.
New update (6.1.3) draining my iPhone's 4S battery. Usage time = standby time.
Solved my Iphone 5 battery drainage problem.
No heartbeat anymore, hardware reset wouldnt help, got a new one from my provider kpn.com
If you are not using them you can turn them off and turn then back on when needed. No one saying leave them off for good. It is all about conserving you battery life.
If you read some of the messages in the thread you posted to you will learn how to fix it.
No, it's not meaningless; it means that there is an app other than email that is stuck in a loop. You need to find the app and kill it.
The solution(s) are posted in the very same thread you just responded to without reading.
Wrong....Apple reads these forums. I know this for a fact. Keep posting, and call Apple also. Finch is incorrect.
In the screenshot you can see Actions below that is stop email notifications....that should do the trick 🙂
i went to apple store twice and they tested all , and they said me that this issoftware problem so untill appleprogrammer not fix it, they only can replace phone nothing more but problem is same.
