iOS 7 horrific battery drain - anyone else?

Did that and does not help. But anyway what is the point of a top of the line apple device if you cannot enjoy any of the conveniences it was designed to provide like upgrading your device but keeping your data, settings, apps, etc.

With iPhone 4S they had they ridiculous "no sim" bug, then with iPhone 5 there was the battery drain with any cellular data usage now iOS 7 seems to allow everyone to enjoy the iPhone 5 battery drain on any device with or without cellular data usage - now that's innovation!

There was no hang on mine. Battery problems have become the rule and not the exception for me and 10's of thousands of others ever since iPhone 5 as verified by the forums. Nobody cares about "I haven't had battery issues" - THOUSANDS of us do. Same thing when the iPhone 5 came out. Nobody wants to erase everything and restore as new - this defeats the purpose of buying a top of the line phone that is supposed to give you the conveinece of seamless upgrades and always keeping your data sync'd.

The FACT is battery issues plague MANY MANY MANY users and "just erase everything and restore as new" is not a viable fix. If I wanted to scrap everything and start again I'd get a samsung or a sony or something else - I don't hear complaints about battery from those guys. I don't need a new part time job of trouble shooting my overpriced apple devices. Not to mention how ridiculous is it that there are no apple employees that help here - we're just left to support ourselves.

Horendous.

Lol... Apple support.

Even after turning off EVERYTHING horrific battery drain remains. I had the same battery drain with iPhone 5. I restored from new, then I exchanged the iPhone 5 for a new one. Still horrible battery drain. With iPhone 5 it was only if the phone was using cellular data. So I downgraded to iPhone 4S. Battery life back to ~8 hours usage and 20-24 hours stand by no problem. Upgrade to iOS 7 and the same battery drain is back only this time it's not just cellular data - it's ANY TIME the iPhone is unlocked at all. In both cases the phone got hot. Apple is officially a company that just makes things worse and worse and worse. Apple's support never had a clue what was wrong in either case bu they were happy to waste hours of my time fooling around with it and have me a erase my phone to new which really defeats the purpose of continuing to buy iPhones in the first place. If I wanted to redownload all my apps, restup everything the way I like it, import the contacts etc. I could just buy a competing phone. Probably would have taken less time than what I've wasted trying to fix Apple's horrific battery bugs.

Isn't there some App that can monitor what is killing the battery (and probably the CPU/GPU since it's always hot)? It doesn't seem like this should be so complicated. What kind of a shoddy product would allow one process to kill hte phone so quickly and not have any diagnostic system onboard to determine what is causing the problem?

Not that it is an acceptable or reasonable fix but I have restored now TWICE, once regular, once DFU and there is no fix, even with no apps installed battery drain is still ridiculous. Basically unusuable. On fresh install to factory settings with no apps reinstalled I got 2 hours 30 min usage and 4 hours stand by with only 30% battery left. Absolutely unbelievable.

Another weird thing I noticed which I'm not sure is related is that the phone indicates it is recharging must faster than I would expect. Maybe 50 minutes for a full charge. This is only since iOS 7. And no it's not a question of the phone indicating the percentage wrong and not being charged enough - the battery drain remains even if charged overnight. I have also tried running it down till it dies and recharging. It makes no difference.
