Battery drain issues since IOS 7.1.1 update

I will try that and tell you what happens...

Ok. Since updating I have had issues. My problem is my battery will jump from 32 -38% to 5 or 1% very quickly then shut down. When I plug it back into charge it will immediately display 40% within seconds. I have done the whole drain, standby power button reset process which did not help.

I am now in a fresh restore to brand new state. I am not going to install any apps, I have read Dirty Vegas's web link and will report how my machine behaves in the next few days.

If I still have the same problem in a a brand new out of the box senario after a few days then I know, for me, it's apples updates and not silly apps like Facebook. I do have to repeat though, that this did indeed start happening when I updated. Can a few others users do this too, and report back.

You can come on here and say you're phone is draining, but it might be better to do this kind of experiment before being another user just letting everyone know that their phone is draining. Catch my drift?.....

I am having the same problem. That is why I searched and found this topic. I have an iPad Air and it was working great until the new iOS 7.1 update. I can literally watch it drain by 1% every 10 minutes well using. There is definitely something wrong with this update. I thought the update was supposed to improve battery life not drain the battery life so fast. I'm glad I'm not the only person experiencing this with iOS 7.1, I thought I was going crazy.

which app?!?!

oh yay! "back up to the cloud" -one more reason to give apple all our data. it's bad enough I can't sync the important stuff via cable anymore. If they hadn't made it so difficult, I'd have downgraded to ditch Mavericks already. So over this ****.

I have a mophie I bought with my 5s, and suddenly it's as if the mophie just doesn't work. yet it seems to be functioning.

that article is brilliant!!! thanks for posting it, Dirty Vegas! I'll wait till tomorrow to see how everything works out.

So, on my little bit if research, I went to bed with 100% battery, enabled airplane mode and woke to 74%. I will see how the days goes from here.

Im using iphone 5s and my battery gets really hot just surfing on net. Do not take this update. For Jobb's sake. Why are u guys screwing us around?

I follwed Dirty Vegas' steps and it resolved my battery drain issue (at least for the first day) and the battery no longer heats up under normal use. However, I backed up and restored using itunes instead of iCloud.

Unfortunately this procedure required me to manually delete all of my past emails.

Thank you for the resolution.

I am annoyed to report after today's usage after and a brand new reset using Dirty Vegas's guide my iPhone 5 jumped from 90% to 40% and then switched off. The 7.1.1 update is causing this.

I follwed Dirty Vegas' steps but backing up on iTunes, cleaned up and restored all the data but the drain is still there.

Just just waitng for Apple to solve this issue.

same here, i dont know how Apple are leaving the customers to suffer like this. VERY poor customer service!

So after a couple more days living with an out if the box reset installation I have descovered that I can't use any apps. Went for a walk on a remote beach in Ireland and had 35% battery. Pulled out phone to take a pano, and blam, died. Switched off with the hour glass and couldn't switch it back on. When I got back to a charger some 2 hours later I showed 36%. It's all over the place this phone now. It's completely inconsistent and dies regularly.

This is my exact problem. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6138432?tstart=0

How do we now get Apple to respond to this problem. The phone is useless. I can't be doing with this for months till that fix it. This why we should never bloody update straight away.
