Ios 6.1.4 battery drain

Downloaded last night, went to bed with 96% battery woke up 6 hours later to 1% battery! Never happened till I updated. Anyone else?

Absolutely terrible. The phone dies within hours of normal use. Apple suggested "fix" of virtually disabling all the features on the phone defies the purpose of buying this phone in the first place. Why don't they just suggest to turn it off completely and just look at it? As an Apple user for the past 20 years I can tell that the quality of the product keeps deteriorating. Apple really has to work hard to address these constant problems. After all, people are not dumb and they will eventually stop buying their products realizing it's nothing but the fad lately.

Same here. I was out of town last week. Came home and had to wipe the iPhone5 on Saturday.


I am a developer and just wanted to start fresh as a new iPhone.


Anyway, this morning I got up, took the iPhone5 off charge (100%). Went to take a shower, brush teeth and come back to get dressed ( like 20 minutes or so tops ) - the iPhone5 was at 96%.


This is not normal at all. All this from a speaker profile update? Really??


Hey Apple, how about a fix!!!

I have an iPhone 5 and have never had battery drain issues until installing the 6.1.4 update. Now, with full LTE bars and Wi-Fi, I am watching the battery drain 1% *every 5 minutes*. And, on top of that, the case is constantly warm likely due to the radios or microprocessors going nuts. I have tried restarting numerous times, but this hasn't fixed the issue for me. In fact, once when I restarted, most all of my settings were reset which was strange. Anyone know if there is a way to go back to 6.1.3?

Turned of 3G? You mean all cellular data? Or if on an iPhone 5, you mean just LTE (there's an option for both)? I assume you are on something other than an iPhone 5 and you mean all cellular data. I would expect turning off cellular to help with battery drain in all circumstances because the cellular radios use a lot of the power (when not playing music or watching videos). But then the phone isn't a phone anymore because can receive calls and need Wi-fi for internet data.
