Update 6.1.4 seems to be draining my battery & using data.

I'm having the same issue. Battery is draining right before my eyes about 1% every 2-3 minutes. Is there a way to down grade back to 6.1.3?

Same issue that is reported after EVERY iOS update and the same troubleshooting applies.

Reset, restart, restore.

This is crazy. I did a restart, restore and everything, and it still is loosing battery like crazy. But when I turn off Cellurar data, it goes back to normal. I hope they make a quick fix for it.

Also seems like not all iPhone 5's are implicated since my friend doesn't seem to have any troubble at all.

Updated the iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1.4. Battery charge very quickly sit down. During the night disappeared 50%. What to do?

Ok, so I tried to restore with iTunes and still the same problem. Than I Reset and erased everything by using settings in iPhone, and started to configure it as a new iPhone. Than I connected it to iTunes again and restored from backup, and it seems to be working normally again.

Will monitor it for a while, and get back to you.

Welcome 2 the club :•

There is no permanent fix here. We all have to help oursleves. Here is what I did:

1. Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>iCloud

2. Turn off everything from mail to find my iPhone, but do not delete anything. Leave everything in your phone or iPad.

3. Follow the same proceedure for every mail account you have.

4. Go to Fetch New Data, turn off Push, and check Manual. Go to Advanced at the bottom, and swtich everything to Manual.

5. Go to Privacy>Location and turn it off.

6. Set Brightness to Auto

7. Kill all open apps. Reset the phone by holding both Power and Home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears.

8. Go back to Settings and turn your settings back on except for Push.

You will still experience some drain as the phone will try to sync everything back. If it still persists, then run the battery down until the phone turns off and charge it for four hours at least.

For me, I have Wifi on, bluetooth and mobile data off. I only turn on mobile data when I need it.

There are other fixes like Resetting all Settings, but this is the simplest and it usually works. You may have to do it a couple of times though. Just try it.

Well the only thing that worked for me, is to erase everything and set up as new phone and than sync everything. Now my battery works fine.

Restore of any kind just trigged the battery drain.

Hoipe this helps.

Ok so here is what I did.

I restored to factory my iPhone 5 on Saturday. And again on Sunday just to make sure.

I installed my apps and setup iCloud.

Now it drains battery quickly. This iphone is only 6 months old.

So resetting does nothing to help, at least for me. I mean I setup the iPhone5 as a new iPhone. So everything was gone.

Anyone know WHY this is happening?

Should I take it to the Genious bar and swap it for a new one? Would they even do that?

Having the same issue here since it update to the iOS 6.1.4 this is toatly rediclious and my phone is only 6 days old.

Do you want the issue resolved? If so, the next logical step would be to take it to teh Genius bar for evaluation.

This is what I did to resolve the battery drain.

I disabled all of my data services. General --> Cellular --> and turned it all off.

I then powercycled my phone and enabled everything I disabled and the battery is back to normal now.

Let me know if this helps anyone.

How can I downgrade to iOS 6.1.3 ?? My charge cable no longer works with my iPhone 5, the new version of iOS is draining my battery so fast, that the charger cable cannot keep up with the power drain !!!

I get messages saying my phone cannot be charged with this device, ever since I upgraded to iOS 6.1.4 !!!

Downgrading is not supported and would not resolve the issue as it is not an iOS 6.1.4 issue.

You don't know that. My iPhone 5 is 3 months old. The problem began happening immediately after upgrading from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 6.1.4, for me.
