ios 7.0.4 Update battery issue again!

I just did the update and after I unplugged from charging overnight my battery drained over 50% in a 1/2 hour on standby!!!! Why does this garbage continue to happen? Anyone else having this issue. FYI, before update I had everything turned off to save battery life so no stranger to the ios7 battery issue but thought it was not going to happen with an update.

iPhone 5, iOS 7

I commented on this issue under another post and it got to be a chatting brawl. Let me ask you guys and girls this, Ok, the download of the new system drains the battery, I got it. I'm not happy with it and have done everything possible to keep it from going dead but nothing helps. Yes, I am disappointed with not being able to use all the functions I paid for. ***. I realize nothing is going to be done about by Apple after my calls yesterday.

Question???? Do you think a battery replacement would significantly help or should I just go buy a battery extender?

Add me to your band of battery deprived. Like most of you it occurred after the update. I updated over wifi, (seems to me Apple should've made the update/battery compatible for that), and have done all the tips to preserve the battery life. Many of the 'tips' also upset me. Basically we are being told, "buy this wonderful, multi-functional phone, just turn off many of the features and make it inconvenient to use". Obviously there is a problem with the way Apple is handling it's updates and the battery of the phone. Just because there aren't hundreds here complaining about this, they're out there. That's why there are sites and tips all over the web on the subject.

Well

I winged about this issue from the start but could not understand why when my issue was only caused by the cellular data and everyone else had different issues.

about four days ago my battery started draining even with my data turned off! this afternoon I had to go out for a couple of hours I had 72% & thought this would last. When I I got home I went to charge my phone & it said 100% what sort of witchcraft is this? 1 1/2 hours later still 100% & still not on charge. This phone is only 3 weeks old ,I can not work this out at all


I am now at a loss

I'm having the same issues with my 4S since updating to 7.0.4. It seems to be an issue with how the OS gets information from the battery about how much charge it has. It will go from 65% to turning off. Then after 10 min of trying to turn back on (without charging it at all) it will turn back on and say it has 25% battery, then die again, turn back on and say it's back to 65% again. I'm reverting back to 7.0.2 until this is fixed.

We'll apart from a wobble a couple of days ago my battery only drains when the cellular data is turned on.

My original phone was updated over wi fi and I was told on Apple live chat that this was the problem. Apple replaced the phone under warranty and it is set up now as a new phone. The excessive battery drain remains when the data is turned on dropping about 18 percent an hour.

I have an iPad without cellular updated to 7.0.4 and it's fine, my colleague has one with cellular and it has the issue. Blakefrommd mentions rolling back! Is this possible? and if so how? Apple tell me it is not but I would like too if anyone knows how.


I love my apple devices and the way it all all my stuff links up from phone to pad and PC but I spend a lot of time out of the office and my phone can no longer cope. Come on Apple you know this is an issue and you have many loyal customers waiting to hear something from you! Even if the fix is not yet available just confirmation that it is being looked at would suffice, for now at least.
