Q: 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

A:

I can confirm mine is now fine.

Go to settings

Mail, contacts, calendars

Go into iCloud and turn all switches to OFF one by one make sure you save all to iPhone though not just delete

Then go to each other mail account and repeat this procedure again making sure you select keep on iPhone not the delete option

Once they're all turned to off check your calendar to see if everything is missing off it and then you need to do a hard reset by holding the home button and the on/off button until the phone turns itself off.

Once it's come back on go back into settings and mail and turn each switch (or each you want) back to ON.

Then make sure all your apps are closed lock the phone and leave it for 30 mins and then check the battery hopefully if like mine it shouldn't of dropped at all

 

This worked for me hopefully it will work for others out there

    Wrong....Apple reads these forums. I know this for a fact. Keep posting, and call Apple also. Finch is incorrect.

    I charge my iphone5 every night.

    Usually I have 70-75% battery in this time.

    But after update 6.1.3 i have 51% now.

     

    It's not iphone, it's samsung!

    If you ever checked The apple store review guidelines for submitting an app to the appstore you will come across this point ----

     

    13.2 Apps that rapidly drain the device's battery or generate excessive heat will be rejected.

     

    So if an app is published on the app store after being reviewed by apple it means they have checked for all these things. I am not sure if the app updates are also verified by apple before they are put on the app store.The only thing that would change would be the the newer firmware. Which would be the cause of the problem.

    Hey Lawrence, you sound like you know what you're saying. What is your guess on that grey wifi slider issue? I didn't have it until 6.1.2 upgrade straight from 5.1.1. 6.1.3 didn't fix it. Do you think it's the wifi component soldering that got somehow affected by that update? Whadiya think? I got 4s 16gb and without wifi and battery drainage it's just a piece of manour...

    The WiFi slider problem has been around a long time also. Apple has a KB article about it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

     

    If the steps in this tip don't fix it there may be a hardware problem, either a WiFi antenna connection that's intermittent or a failed WiFi chip. This sounds unlikely, because it happned to you right after the update, but stranger things have happened. Some users say that putting the phone in a ziplock bag, then in a freezer for 15 minutes, will fix it if the the software troubleshooting doesn't fix it.

    My battery is absolutely awful. The phone will shut down at around 17%, once plugged back in it'll go up to around 22%. Phone drops 1% roughly every 90 seconds and thats without even doing anything on the phone. I love the apple products but this has really put me off. Why cant apple, one of the richest most knowledgable companies on the planet resolve an issue as simple and as important as battery life? srsly?

    when i use the iphone5 to go to surf the internet with the EDGE.the battery life is losing very quickly 

    almost 1% in 5minutes and sometimes, the consumption of battery life was slow but most is very fast.

    Turning off all email preferences only applies to notifications for future threads, not ones you are currently monitoring.
