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 updated to 7.0.4. My phone was working perfectly fine before the upgrade. Since I upgraded the battery is draining from 100% to zero in 3 to 4 hours on standby. . This renders the phone useless unless you are tethered to a plug. A software update has broken your product. I have tried all the various recommendations to turn everything off and it is still draining. Come on Apple, This is ridiculous. It is not acceptable to kill relatively new phones with a software update. If this is not fixed I for one will NEVER buy another Apple phone. What sort of quality verification process was used for theis software update. Do your engineers even test impact on battery for various upgrade scenarios?

My iphone 4s in the last two weeks has become very reluctant to charge. It doesn't do this every time I try and charge it but I noticed today that when I plugged in the charger it told me the battery was 47% charged on the lock screen but the battery percentage in the top right hand corner is showing 17%

I am experiencing the same thing. At the time before doing update OS from version 6 to 7 the battery of my iPhone 4 is very durable. But so do update from version 6 to version 7.0.3 and updated again to 7.0.4 the problem appears. At the time , after the battery charge up to 100% and is used only for open social media applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Path and other goes well. Then for the next few hours I'm not using my iPhone. So I checked my iPhone suddenly have died and could not be switched on through the button Turn On the top and in the position of having to process the charge. iPhone successfully turned on appear red logo battery but there is a description that battery weak but as soon as the apple logo appears and battery strength specified dashboard I was 80%. What is this??Why the battery 80% but off suddenly.


Please help me resolve this issue. Thank you.

My issue appears to be solved by re- installing the ios following a back up. This was achieved through iitunes. The new ios is rubbish. All of the sharpness of the display of my ipad and phone has gone. My wife's ipad 1 on ios 5 looks better and has a better battery life Than my ipad 4 even when I have disabled all of the dross Apple included in ios 7.

ios 7.0.4 Update battery issue again!
