Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Since I upgraded to 7.0.6 my battery drains at an alarming rate. Since 8:00 this morning I have made one call and checked email - the battery is now 51% after 2 hours! This was fine before the update.
I have cloased all apps - still have exactly the same issue. Phone gets hot now when screen is on suggestiig the processor is doing a lot of work.
Is it possible to downgrade back to 7.0.4 (I was on 7.0.4 before the update)?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.6
Same here.
iPhone 5S updated to iOS 7.0.6, battery lasts as much as 6 hours VS 8 hours I usually got with iOS 7.0.4 / 7.0.5 with the exact same configurations and apps.
It is not possible to downgrade, Apple has closed the signing window for <7.0.6 and 6.1.6.
i downloaded an app to see CPU usage average - with all apps closed apart from the CPU monitoring app the phone is running over 50% CPU average - something definitely wrong here.
my ipad mini retina - near identical CPU is running around 6% admn I have not cloed anything 7.0.4 - I will not update to 7.0.6 in case it screws my ipad too.
I tried swithcin off wifi, data, airplan mode etc - nothing helps. It has been unplugged now for 3.5 hours - a couple of calls and down to 15% battery.
This is insane - it was supposed to fix the SSL security bug, battery should be the same as iOS 7.0.4 / 7.0.5.
I'll try to take it to the Genius Bar, exchange iPhones won't have 7.0.6 for sure. Jailbreak and installing SSLPatch will do the trick.
I have an iPad Mini retina too on 7.0.4. Better to stay away from iOS 7.0.6 just incase, yep. I'll install SSLPatch on it and that's it 😉.
Yes I noticed the same kind of drain. DId a full charge on BatterPro and that seems to have helped but still not as good as before.
Besides the drain, I have also noticed the phone gets much more hotter than before.
Same issues here. 2 month old 5s. Battery life reduced to nothing and I agree, feels warm.
Extremely irritating.
I have an iPhone 5 and have the same issues since updating yesterday; major battery drain and noticeable increase in the temp of the phone.
Same here, it just *****. Battery drains now completely in less then 6 six hours with the phone just in standby! Before it lasted a full day when moderatley used.
You r right, i have two iphones 4. One is ok with the upgrade, the other has a serious issue with battery drain since upgrade to 7.0.6. Tried every single trick in the book to reduce the power consumption but all have failed. Apple should rectify this issue with a new update
Or at least figure out why some have issues and some don't... wife's iPhone 4 seems fine with the update.
Well today all seems fine. I wonder if they made some changes which caused the phone to reindex files or something - I am not sure how many emails I have on my phone but the inbox shows 18k - if these were being reindexed perhaps if would account for the high CPU.
Today - so far normal battery usages - lost just 9% so far...
Here are some additional tips you can do to extend the battery life: http://helpios7.com/ios-7-battery-issues/
Hopefully, it'll improve it atleast a little bit.
Thanks for the info but already practice those tips. Spoke to Apple and it is a software issue. Full restore with no 3rd party apps and problem still persists. Phone on standby with no usage and it's dies in hours. I strongly suggest people with the same issue call so they are aware of the problem.
I also face issues with my battery since I updated to 7.0.6.
Here the current usage details of today:
Used my iPhone 5 for 1 hour and 32 minutes / 4 hour 43 minutes in standby and started with a fully charged battery (charged over night).
Now battery is at 33%. Now that is really bad. Battery will not survice a whole day. Before it was no problem at all. Something is terribly wrong here. 😢
Same problem here. Upgraded to 7.0.6 yesterday, charged phone to 100% at 10 pm and by 7 am next morning my 4s battery was completely dead. Never had this issue prior to update.
