iOS 6.1.3 battery drainage

I, like many here, do not have any of those apps so that cannot be the answer. Presently I'm using my £500 smart phone for voice calls and texts only - less than five of each per day and still I can watch the battery drain away.

Ios 7 is now in beata hopefully that will solve the problem but not for 3gs users as 6.1.3 was the final update for 3gs only iphone 4 4s and 5 support ios 7 so looks like 3gs users are stuck with this problem

That is good news (not for the 3Gs) but I am wondering. Do we know for sure that the problem lies with the IOS? Because personally I had upgraded to 6.1.3 months before my battery suddenly drained overnight. And if it is the IOS how come no one from Apple has come out to acknowledge the fact?

This problem has been around since the first ios 6 mate apple dont say nothing its never there fault so they say hmmm bs on my old 3gs ios 4.1.1 kept making my phone hard reset when making calls aka i would be talking away to my self because my phone had reset due to an fault caused by ios 4.1.1 witch was 100% the problem as i had x3 iphone 3gs 8gb all brand new from my network all had 4.1.1 and all had the same issue reset during calls 3 faulty phones in a row highly doubtfull but apple same old story its not ios just like now there full of bs so i wouldnt count on ios 7 fixing the problem its more likely to cause a new one witch could be alot worse than battery drain like 3gs with 4.1.1 totaly useless as phone due to them resetting during calls took apple over a year to fix the problem buy that time ide gave up & got a samsung galaxy now i have 4s with batteey drain nice 1 apple now i have to disable everyting just to get half the day out my phone texted & calls is all i can do now so apple why do i have a smart phone for that a nokia 3210 can do that a smart phone that dies if you use it pritty useless smart phone then i would say why lie about ios we all no you full of bs apple just own up and fix the god dam problem and them test ios updates propely before you release them and brake all are phones again and again and again with half assed un propely tested updates

Dears,

My battery drains on usage. Like 1% every 3-4 minutes. On standy by it holds the charge. I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1.3

My batter stats are these at most.

Usage : 6 hours.

Standy: 1 Day 12 hours.

Is this normal.

it depends on what you use .i use music much of the time which wont cause battery draining at rapid rate ,and 2 hours of chatting , few minutes of call .

my total usage is around 9 to 10 hours.

when i use it on 3G i will get it around 6 hours.

i think its pretty normal.

My new iPad drains at that rate, too. 1% every three minutes. I'm new to Apple and it's a WiFi only 4th gen model that came with 6.1.3 installed. The next day I saw a notification for an update to 6.1.4 and decided to go through with it. I can definitely say that I get less battery life now.

I don't know how. You cannot install 6.1.4 to an iPad, it is for the iPhone 5 only.

I bought iphone 4 2 days back. Previously i have Iphone 3G & never faced any battery issue. Now with new iphone 4 with ios 6.1.3, the battery is getting drained so faster , which is not expected at all.. need a fix soon.

I have this same issue! my phone is draining battery so fast, its actually crazy! it is always fully charged morning at around 8:30 and by 12:00, when i get off of "work" (cit stuff!) it is usually around 70-55% battery. Keep in mind that it is on during this time, but it is put away and all apps (except messages) are in use. SO in three hours, around 30-45% battery is drained from it just sitting around. You are alowed to ask for a replacement phone for this issue, correct??

I have an iPad 2 that's about 1.5 years old. My battery is either very worn down, or this stupid iOS screw up that is causing my battery to drain so fast ( or the battery isn't calibrated ) that I don't even get the 5% remaining message. Then when I charge it takes a good 10 mins to start up, then displays 1%. Strange.

I unplugged my 4S from the charger at 11:30 AM today, the only task I made it do was play Doodle Jump for 5 mins. The phone hit 0% at 3:30PM.

I have turned off almost every single feature off, I was so excited about getting my iPhone a few months ago, Now I'm considering switching to the Galaxy S3, the battery life is that bad.

It really would be nice to be able to downgrade in times like this...at least within the major releases. I've used Apple products literally my whole life. Internet in its "public" infancy, watching in wonder as my best friends big brother was droppin' their rotary phone receiver on what I now know of as a modem...Back when a "piracy" was better known as a friend being a nice guy. Companies made a name for themselves for releasing quality, creative products. The commercials that apple ran of the authoritative/drone PC world...Amazing that now you have to shut off your device now days, and wait for the overlord to bestow a possible fix on you, like mana from their apple shaped cloud. Just wait, today its a "free" upgrade/fix...Tomorrow what is public today, may become an in-device-purchase... gotta pay to idpshsh it.. just to fix that battery problem....hope the public we be decides against this... soon... it would be nice to quickly fix this drainage problem....

I'm having this issue as well with my 4S, which I have had for less than a year. I just went from 100% to 70% in 2 1/2 hours... on Airplane Mode. Generally, even while in use, I have Location/Bluetooth/Wi-fi/Notifications/Push off, screen dimmed to about 30%, and I religiously close any apps that are not in use (I am a nut about battery conservation). When I recharged last night, I had drained down to 10% first.

My 3 1/2-year-old 3G still got 9-10 days on standby when I replaced it. I never get more than 2-3 days on the 4S, even though I'm always on Airplane Mode when I am not using the phone. This is crazy.

PS: Since everyone's posting stats... since last full charge:

Usage: 1 hour 37 minutes (that's how long I've had it off Airplane Mode today)

Standby: 5 hours 30 minutes

battery down to 68%

What used up 32% of my battery in that time? I haven't made/received a call or text, or used email or anything. Haven't opened any app except Settings. All other apps are closed. CLOSED. No Location Services, Push, Notifications, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on.
