battery drain on 7.0.6

That does absolutely no difference. I have had "Background App Refresh" always disabled (from iOS 7.0.1, since I bought my 5S), and 7.0.6 consumes a lot more battery than previous versions.

It may help but just a bit.

the problem is inherent in the 7.0.6.

Not helping.. I always have Background App refresh turn off since I installed iOS 7.

No problem in previous update.. After updating to iOS 7.0.6. My iPhone 4S won't go into standby mode.

8 hours of standby time ,7.50 hours of usage time.

Restoring as a new device doesn't help either..

Anyway, whose device have problem please kindly screenshot and post their usage time.

Settings>General>Usage

Just reporting that clearing back ground apps and hard reset did not fix my 4G I posted above that it did fix my phone. Still drains in 4-5 hrs.

With Steve Jobs, iphones would be thrown against the wall in Steve's office. Now after Steve iphones get thrown against customer's walls. Night and day and the delay in shipping "modern" phones tells me that Apple is not the same company. Samsung ships a radically new phone every 6 mo. 5c is new? LOL

setting > privacy > location service > system service >> OFF all

setting > general > background app refresh > manage this

setting > notification > manage all aplication

I don't think a reasonable solution should be to turn off important features of the operating system.

I have done the above suggestions and it does help some but I'm forced to disable features that I was able to use before Apple updated to 7.0.6.

Apple should fix the problem they created instead of expecting their customers to dumb down their iPhones.

I tried the restore of iOS 7.0.6 with iTunes to see if this helps but it didn't.

Now I also tested the battery drain at night with filgt mode turned on. According to the Apple support the iPhone battery should only get down by max. 5%.

I completley charged my iPhone to 100%, turned on flight mode and pulled the power cable. Next morning after 8 hours the battery was down to 25%! So I told them about that. Now I have a appointment in the Apple Store next to me to analyze the problem further. I will keep you updated.

Here how fast my battery drains even without much usage at all:

Same issue iPad Air - fast battery drain. Worse is the recharging time - 5 hrs 15 minutes to charge from 35 pct and currently up to 98 pct. And I AM using the Apple cable and charger that came with the unit - 2 months ago.

Bet this issue won't be "recognized" either - like the massive 4S problems after the iOs 7 update.

We will be a nation with the coolest, (and most expensive) paperweights though!

Battery drain for me too... This is crazy... Do something apple

Mine is draining fast...especially if my phone is downloading something... 1% every 2 minutes with airplane mode qnd wifi turn on... While on iOS 7.0.5 1% in 10 minutes... i saw that battery indicator not working well... Sometimes from 4% my battery died suddenly...on some percentage there is a slow down...

If i completely use airplane mode if I use my phone for watching movies, for 30 minutes only lost 1-2%...

But if I do downloading or turning wifi/3G i can lost 15% in 10 minutes...

Weird...

Your's is different than my situation..

My usage time is as same as standby time even if I restore my devices several time without using the old backup.

I leave my phone there and when to bed, the next morning, it drop from 100 to 40%.

I think there is some problem with the standby mechanism in iOS 7.0.6 causing it not to fully standby.

Anyway, Apple please do something with this issue! It does not happen in iOS 7.0.4 but in iOS 7.0.6.

This update was supposed to fix the SSL issue but not to suck all our battery juice right?

I found the battery indicator not working well on iOS 7.0.6 ... when I charge my iPhone to Mac it shows 95% ... but when accidentally my iPhone is respring while charging, it shows again 93% .... then I unplug while on 93% and I do reboot ... after reboot is shows 98% ... now after using for a while... it stucks at 95% ... after more than 5 minutes ...

I don't have such issue after upgrading to 7.0.6

You could try to turn down the screen brightness and turn off Bluetooth, wifi, data, whenever you don't need it to preserve battery. My iPhone 5s has the update iOS 7.0.6 and it's battery is normal..I haven't charged it for a day.

Also you can drain your battery completely and then charge your phone to 100%. This would also make the battery last longer because it is a full charge..I'm not completely sure how it works but it does work..for me at least

It is not about switching off configs / radios we do not use. The point here is that, with the same configuration we have had in previous iOS 7 versions, lots of people see the battery lasts more than a half less time than before - even 1 or 2 hours in worst cases.

What you mention (fully discharging and charging to 100% later) is a battery full cycle. That is meant to keep the battery % indicator as accurate as possible to the current battery charge level, but it has anything to do with the real battery charge.

By the way, battery % indicator is messed up in some way in iOS 7.0.6. The battery percentage showing is more or less a 7% higher than the real level (at least in my case, checked with BattSaver & BatteryLife). In iOS 7.0.5, for example, the difference was a 2%.
