ios 7.0.4 Update battery issue again!

The EE phone must be in a Tardis or something...

Maybe frozen in time if the battery has stayed at that percentage for that amount of time.

What has been the runtime in hours on EE?

Also, can you see where the phones are constantly connecting to? (What site/server/service/etc.)

If not ask 3 to provide the data breakdown as to where the phone is connecting to at any point in time.

Have you gotten any tips from Apple and 3 about this?

Hi

You misunderstand I don't have an EE phone but I will speak to someone with one to see if they have the same problem.

It's my 3 phone that stayed at 93% and it will overnight when not in use.

Apple when I enquired just sent me a new phone and 3 have no idea. When I turned off the cellular just the app and the phone are now reporting the same lower battery level so I really don't know what is going on here.

Rhaine, What do you use your phone for on a day-to-day basis?

Surely the techs at the Apple store are using these **** phones too - or like the rest of us, have they too lost confidence in the icrap!! - and if they are using them then why are they bothering wasting peoples time with all the testing and hoop jumping that they suggest. It has to be plain for them to see from their own icrap handsets that the issue is very real.

Apple - lying, cheating ********!

DnG, What do you use your phone for on a day-to-day basis?

My i5 lasts 15 hours and I haven't done any iOS 7 battery-saving tweaks

Just imagine: some "3rd party software implants" running. And just in case that 3rd party is a 3-letter-org, then Apple isn't permitted to know anything. (By reason ... and possibly by law.)

In my case the updatesync process ran mad. Others saw strange icloud behaviour.

;)

I have an iPhone 4S as previously I would heavily use my phone all day on ios 6, then once upgrading to ios 7.0.3 I noticed a reduced life, but after upgrading to 7.0.4, after little use my phone dies. One day I ha to charge my phone twice in 10 hours, with my phone being dead both times!

Please Apple, either fix it or let us downgrade to 6.1.3!!

Clarinet, who's your carrier?

Sprint or Verizon? If so, there's your problem.

I can only get 10 hours out of my Sprint i4S.

It seems to be the CDMA radio that nukes the batttery as the thing will run for 3 days in wifi-only mode.

When on GSM in Europe, my phone would last for 15 hours.

I have Sprint and had to turn off LTE in settings to get any decent internet. I think these networks are overloaded

from these hi tech phones. Sprint hardly has any 4G yet.

Sprint put in LTE masts up in my area before they updated the map (and still haven't) I found out via friends who had upgraded before me.

FYI, LTE is not 4G, it's a marketing thing only by Sprint/Verizon.

What's your city/state?

Have you measured your signal strength on LTE?

Look up, Lifehacker iPhone signal strength.

LTE -81 to -120

3G -57 to -90

1X anything above -106

Anything outside of that lower signal range is weak signal.

In my Sprint area in Tennessee, -90 to -120 LTE runs normally (feels just like wifi) and I still get over 10mbps downlink speed.

Worked !! Thank you so much for letting us know the exact problem with the iCloud. Its true there is a bug when you update to new version the sync stuck somewhere and it keep on trying to retrieve data and it was the reason of drainage of battery. I had exactly this issue with my Iphone 4s after updating to 7.0.4. It couldn't last for 6 hrs idle or without using.

Finally i have fixed it. Goto settings then iCloud and turn off contacts, safari, notes etc. If it takes long to respond or doesn't work just close it from task bar and re-open iCloud and try again to turn them off and turn all back on. You're done! Now my phone battery is back to its life and i can use my phone for 8 hours usage with 16 hours idle.

To make sure about this problem, i turned off Wifi and cellular data before goto sleep to check battery stats. If it doesnt then you have to do the above steps.

Hope it helps someone :)

chattphotos,

I have AT&T for my iPhone 4S and iPad 3, both running iOS 7.0.4. I basically have the same applications installed (with even more on my iPad), and my iPad's battery life is reduced, but only minor. I will try restoring my phone as the backup of my iPad to see if that will fix the problem.

Hi whiller123,

i too had a batterydrain with iPhone 4S under iOS 7 and in my case it wàs the Femtocell in combination with iOS7 that causes the drain.

iOS5 and 6 never had this problem. With the femtocell disconnected my phone works normal again.

I contacted my provider Vodafone and they acknowledged the problem and are investigating the issue.

Hey, I found the solution for the battery drain problem!

It's really easy:

Method A:

1. Hold you iPhone facing South and pray two paternoster and one rosary.

2. Sacrifice a chicken in a Voodoo ritual

3. Take chicken's blood and drink it mixed with mescal while hopping on one leg.

Method B:

1. Wait for Apple to publish an update, hopefully with these problems solved.

2. Install it.

3. Pray.

Method C:

1. Sell your iPhone

2. Buy ANY OTHER PHONE

Now seriously, it's like my car maker upgrading my car's electronics control center, supossed to be an improvement, and then to find it consumes a lot more fuel than before the "upgrade". And now the maker of the car says I have to avoid the use of lights, air conditioner, ABS, cruise control, indicators, gears above 3rd and speed above 50Km/h… 😠 And thanks the FSM I can still drive the ferking car. 😐

Apple, DO YOUR JOB AND SOLVE THIS NOW!

Saluditos,

Ferrán.
