Battery drains after installing iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 5

This happened to my iphone 5. I looked at the location service indicator and it seems like it is using location services for something that I'm not aware of. After turning on and off several time, it looks like I have to turn off "Frequent Location" under "System Services". Not sure if this was a new feature on ios 7.1 but it started to bug me after ios 7.1 update.

does anyone know when apple will release the next patch or update

because none of the fix for battery is working for me from turning everything off to restore the ios like 12 time by now

thanks

Same problem here. Iphone battery doesn't last 5 hours on airplane mode..

I've always been an Apple-fan but now i'm getting sick of all these bugs and problems!

If you bought Applecare it might be time to throw in the towel and convince Apple that you need a new phone.

Same problem here.

I dont use my iPhone that much while I'm working and when I leave the office it's usually about 70%.

Now, the battery is near to 15% - without really using it at work...

I did not change any settings or install new apps.

So I guess it's an software issue with 7.1?!

Is Apple actually working on it or just not bothered with our problems?

I'm goin' nuts with this phone not working the way it should just because Apple doesn't seem to care and test their updates..

I'm posting in hopes it helps get this resolved.

I too am having the same issue with battery drain on my iPhone5 since the update. I've restored it 3 times, attempted all the "fixes" I can find online with turning off certain features and such and nothing has worked. I even took it to the Apple store where they ran a diagnostic and was told that there was a Safari service running in the background that could be the culprit and that a restore should fix it. It hasn't.

I hope they find a fix soon. I shouldn't have to disable LTE or live in Airplane Mode to save my battery. It worked fine before iOS 7.1

This worked for me:

Turn off both location services and background app refresh, let the battery discharge until the phone turns itself off. Recharge the battery completely, then turn both location services and background app refresh back on.

I went from a 50% drain in 3 hours to a 47% drain in 24 hours.

I posted last Monday after installing the 7.1 update the day before. As I reported then, that update turned my cellphone into a landline. Previously I went most of the day without needing to recharge. Now I lose as much as 30% in an hour and fifteen minutes. I am posting today for two reasons. First, I want to report that I have tried EVERYTHING suggested on this forum. Nothing has worked. Secondly, I want to call out those smug posters who imply that people who can't fix this problem on their phones are idiots. I may not be an Apple tech, but I am sophisticated enough to have thought of and tried most of the suggestions on this board before they were posted. They have not worked: I got up at 4:15 this morning as is my custom. My house is wired. I checked the Weather Channel and then put the phone on the table. Absolutely no apps were running. At 5:30 a.m. when I headed out the door to run, my battery was at 67%. Tonight I am headed to the Apple store. I need a cell phone. I'll report on that tomorrow.

yea this is just simply F@&kin ridiculous, over 700 dollars for this absolute piece of **** that wont even hold a standby charge for 6 hours .... yea its time to move on away from apple, along with many many others that are discusted with this **** . DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT APPLE , OR ARE YOU SIMPLY JUST ANOTHER CORPORATE GIANT THAT GOT RICH OFF ITS CUSTOMERS THEN SAY THE **** WITH YOU ALL ? THIS IS NOT NOT NOT ACCEPTABLE IN THIS DAY AND AGE FOR A PHONE BATTERY TO NOT EVEN LAST HALF A DAY .

Yes, More than 14 days after update the iphone 5 to ISO7.1.

First, though the phone battery get issue almost decided to change the phone battery.Drain the battery juice rate like nobody. It very hot to touch while full charges and browsing facebook and some other web site.

Probe a digital temperature recorder. it can reach to 40 deg with room temp around 29-30deg at Singapore nite.Even normal browing the internet,the phone back side start to heat up quickly.

Before updated to iSO 7.1.The battery can last whole day.as i not often use my mobile to make call.

Second after Updated to iSO7.1. Using original USB cable provided by Iphone Lighting connection. It can't sync to computer after multiple attempt prompt message Trust computer. It still fail to sync the Iphone to computer unit. That very test up personal patient and temper. Finally still can't sync Up.

As understand prolong of heat up the battery.It will shorten the battery life span.

Hope iSO service Team can come up the latest iSO update soon to Minimun those iphone user facing the Issue after updated to iSO7.1.

As it very Clear message and information those Updated to iSO7.1 facing lot of Issue discussed in this community forum.

so Some can creat a facebook page of iSO 7.1 Updated Matter to Sent a sign to apple to resolve this ISO7.1 matter soon.

Same problem with my iphone. I,ve tried all the recommendations but didn't work. Finally my battery improved a litle doing this:

1.- switch off Find my iphone (not enough switch off location)

2.- switch off iCloud documents and data (used by whatsapp)

However no problem with ipad2 and iPad Air.

Good luck. Please apple fix the issue or we'll have to change the mobile
