Anyone else having battery issues since updating to iOS 7?

Yes!! My phone does not seem to want to hold a charge now either.

I had he same problem with ios 6.1.4. Was really hoping ios 7 was going to fix this, now its just the same thing. Sigh!

I think what is happening is that iOS 7 is recallibrating the battery meter. Every single iOS update people complain about battery drain, but the complaints usually go away after the first day or two.

I THINK if you let your battery run down most or all of the way then recharge it back to full, it will perform as usual.

The battery life on my iPhone 4S has been horrible since upgrading to iOS 7. I was at about 90%. I played with it a bit and then left it alone for about 5 hours. When I checked it, it was at 20%. Normally I'm at 50% by the time I get home. I then watched it quickly drop to 10% so I decided to restart the phone. When it powered back up, it immediately shut itself off again and now claims to need to be charged before I can use it.

This is more than just a calibration issue. I've never seen my phone drain that fast or shut itself off at 10%.

I've also noticed the idle CPU usage on my iPhone is higher.

Im having the same probleom, But you need to let your iDevice shut down or let its battery drop to 1% (Which is better then that your device shuts down.) And then let it charge from 1% to 100% And dont unplug it in the middle of charging! That's an important thing never unplug it untill its 100%.

You can play games or use your device But i prefer that you don't.

I hope this helps, Because i have done it on IOS 5 iOS 6 and iOS 7 And it worked, So im sure its gonna work for you like it worked for hundreds of other people.

same here, i have the iphone 5 and since updating to ios 7 my battery is draining terribly fast. Also, the sound alerts sound muffled.

I am also having the same issue even with many things turned off. I will try the recharge thing and see if it helps. Was now thinking about a backup battery that I can plug in. But should not have to because of an upgrade!

Okay it seems I was right.

After I originaly posted here I unplugged my phone and let it drain to about 30% before charging it back up to full. I went home and my 5 year old son and I played on it, including an pretty memory intensive human anatomy app for kids -- sometimges plugged in, sometimes not. Used it A LOT last night, playing with settings, cheking out the new auto update feature, notifications, etc. I didn't end up turning any of the new features off in settings, and even enabled a few new features. Then, as usual, I plugged it in when I went to bed and let it run a clock/alarm program (Rise) all night.

This morning I drove to work (about 20 minutes) with turn-by-turn navigation running and a podcast playing in the background -- not plugged in to power. When I got to work the battery showed 98%. Leaving the phone unplugged, I have been playing that video podast for half an hour -- with a pause for a phone call set up by Siri -- and battery is currently showing 93%.

I think it's going to be okay. Everybody breathe.

Ok I am trying to breath. So how far should you let it go down before charging? 30% or less?

Most of the published advice I have seen suggests letting your iPhone drain to the point where it shuts itself off. I think that's at about 10%. I may be wrong. I was just impatient. If your problem is severe, then run the battery all the way down as far as it will go, then charge to full. I've also read that you should not unplug the phone until it is fully re-charged (this first time).

Good luck.

Thanks John. I will do it today and post tomorrow with the results.

Oh god I wish I can have this good battery life. I tried draing the battery and then fully charge, but it's the same. I turned off cellular data completley and now I get 6-9 minutes for every 1%.
