Battery continues to drain after iOS 7.1.1

before updating to ios 7.1.1 is your battery life ok?

i think apple investigating this issue

No battery drain on my handset, I think its more to do with what apps you have running how many push notifications you have, the state of your battery etc. I get 2 days out of mine with about 6 hours useage with wifi on 24/7 Some apps like facebook use much more battery life that others. Also background app refresh can eat battery useage. 7.1.1 for myself uses no more than 7.1 or 7.0 tbh.

to everybody

this our causes of fast drain battery

1st Hardware

maybe the history of phone getting wet by persperation of our hand while using it,water,oil

maybe you are using not original charger so can damaged your phone

2nd Software

the firmware maybe bug issue inside so developer may alert for those cooments in this community si keep posting

3Rd Application

some application HD may affect battery percentage some games HD is more consumption energy

wifi,blutooth,brightness may also the cause why battery is fast drain

WhatsApp polls all the time to get new updates, it uses alot of battery. I have mine set with location services for the phone on but not Location based iAds and Diagnostics and Usage I also have Diagnostic and useage Data set to not send, I removed facebook as I dont need it on my phone, brightness is set to auto and emails are manual. These settings at this time give me 2 Hours 15 mins usage and 1 day 8 Hours standby with 76% battery life remaining, with a few phone calls some text and iMessages and wifi on constantly.

mine actually got much worse. it sat with only wifi and cell on (all other stuff was disabled) and went from 100% to 35% overnight.

My 4s did seem to get a little better with this last update, but then again I have everything disabled like the app refresh and locations services as well as set my email to fetch instead of push. Kind of defeats the purpose of having those features if you can't use them. Also my iPad 3 battery was great until I did the upgrade to 7.1. Installed 7.1.1 and the battery life is still just as bad. I can be at 100% at bedtime and when I wake up, it will be at 45%. I'm a little disappointed with Apple. Kind of feel like it Blackberry all over again. A great company with a great product and then the competition jumps ahead of them. Still love my iPad--actually have two of them, so I won't ditch the company yet, but I hope they will really try to figure out what is up with the battery drainage on their products.

Same problem for me. My battery takes forever to charge and over heats then drains from 100% to 0 in a couple of hours. I have turned everything off, I mean everything! It's truly pathetic. Genius Bar appointment is Tuesday morning so I'll post my results of that once I've had it.

+ 1 on this issue.

I'm expreiencing the same issue, and watch over the course of a few minutes battery life drop by 5%. I usually get about 16 hours of life out of a full charge, but now only get about 8 hours.

Have turned whatever I can off, but makes no difference.

85% to 10% overnight while not in use. Drains very quickly by day with light usage (really light). I usually answer to no to push, and have very few with background refresh on. Facebook refresh off. Never had a problem before then.

My iPhone 4S seems much worse since 7.1.1; I used to see the battery level drop as low as 2% before the phone would shut down. Now it will shut off between 20-24%. Perhaps that level indicator isn't a true reading, but in general I see the battery run down fairly quickly. no reason to think the battery itself is bad; I've usually let it drain all the way down and do a full recharge. I don't run a lot of notifications/pushes, but I usually have wi-fi active most of the time; I need wi-fi at home for better signal, the cell service at home is spotty.

I did a total reset to my ipad 3 which was having the same problem as my phone and started fresh. I did not use my back up to restore. My iPad battery life is back to normal. iCloud still imported my contacts, pics, notes, etc. I mainly had to re-download my apps. Not sure if I want to do the same with my 4s as I have a lot of content on there, however, it appears as totally clearing off your phone or ipad resets it. Hope that helps someone.

I have the same problem which occured right after updating to 7.1.1, which pretty much points to the update being the culprit. It's not about apps, settings or usage that may drain your battery, it's about something in the update which messed up battery life. Apple should pay attention to this and fix it asap. It's goddam annoying!
