Battery drain issues since IOS 7.1.1 update

Additional to this battery issue, I am also facing frequent Call drops.

Just wondering if it is just with me?

Just to throw my hat in the ring as I'm also suffering terrible jumpy battery life.

I'm with you! I thought "ouu, maybe this new update will help my phone and prevent it from going into stupid mode!" so so wrong. (Stupid Mode is what I call my cell's operating status when it blacks out, deletes my contact, prevents me from doing anything on my cell since it's frozen and thinking about what else it can do to aggravate me).

Since the last two updates (thanks IOS 7.1 and IOS 7.1.1) my iPhone only aggravates me like an accommodating child becoming a rebellious teen who's **** bent on making my life miserable. It sleeps all day, does nothing I need it to do, when it does open an app it closes it right away, drains the battery in 5 hours flat with no actitivity going on, drains the battery in 3 hours if it does have to do something (give me directions or relay text messages from other people), goes into iCloud and deletes bits of information from my contacts or the contact all together, and refuses to reset back to manufacturer's setting so I can have my good old phone back. 😟

It's like the phone is saying to me "oh, so you think you can just reset me back to the original format? take that! I'll just stay off and in stupid mode all day then. let's see how you like that."

so, the other day I did everything what was suggested in this article, http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain except stop mail push. The battery still went down crazy fast, to 0% in about 14 hours. As the article also suggested, I let it drain completely before plugging it.

Then I plugged it in and went to sleep. When I woke up it was at 100% and STAYED THAT WAY all day! I also changed all my email to fetch, just to be sure. Otherwise I used it as normal, even using Strava (a major battery hog for tracking bicycle rides) 3 times that day and the battery was still strong. I had to fire up background app refresh in order to use Strava, but left that disabled for most apps.

Yes, I have a Mophie case, which I also had on all day. But still. Since 7.1.1, it's been as if I don't have a Mophie. I wondered if the Mophie wasn't working, but then discovered this thread. So that's what worked for me.

Add me to the list of iPhone 5 users having these same battery drain issues. I didn't have any issues with iOS 7.1, but my battery life is horrible with the 7.1.1 update. I didn't change anything else after the update. I used to be around 50% battery at the end of the day with 7.1, but now with 7.1.1 I have to charge it at the end of the day or the iPhone shuts off.

As an example, yesterday I was at 60% when I left work, and that was with little use. About an hour later, with no use, it was down to 40%. Then I used the Amazon app to order something and the battery dropped to 22%. I then went home and plugged it in, and the battery immediately jumped from 22% to 51%. If it was just the battery meter being off, that wouldn’t be a huge deal, but even if the battery is fuller than the phone thinks, the phone will still automatically turn off when it thinks it is low.

I just went to contact Apple to submit this issue. As part of that process, Apple emailed me a diagnostic tool to run on my iPhone. It said that it detected a Power issue, and took me to the next step of opening a case with Apple. From there, as part of my Apple Plus Service Care (or whatever that extra $99 warranty deal is called) they are going to replace the phone.

I find it extremely odd that I never saw this issue until iOS 7.1.1, but if you all haven't already, you might open a case with Apple and see if you get the same results from the diag tool they email to you.

I'm having the same issue iPad mini 7.1.1

I noticed that storage was also filling up without apparent reason, i had "8 GB" of "other".

I connected the iPad to the mac and fired up XCode to see what was happening, I saw a lot of error messages about a problem with an itunescloudd.

So i disabled iTunes Match, the errors were gone, the space was still filled with "8 GB" of "Other"

I have rebooted the iPad by keeping power and home until the screen blanked and turned to apple logo.

Battery drain is gone.

I think it's an iTunes Match / iTunes in the cloud problem.

The "Other" stuff could be error logs or other debugging junk, and now "Other" takes little to nothing on my iPad...

Is everyone with this issue using iTunes Match / In The Cloud?

I'n not having issues with iTunes Match, never had iTunes Match on.. My phone is not displaying any 'bogus' other data either.

Thanks for checking TheBunch

Now, does this mean there is a problem with hardware or software? It's confusing. I contacted Apple also, and they did that diagnostic and it to threw up a Hardware/Battery issue. When I told the girl this started happening after the 7.1.1 update she did'nt know what to say to me....I don't think they know about this yet and the Service staff certainly don't know. Is there anywhere we can go and shout at the wall outside Apple Towers?, because they arent reading this thread anyway.

Ok. Can everyone here please contact Apple about this problem at the following Address.

I was advised to do this by Online Chat Support. I dont think Apple are very aware of this problem. They think 7.1.1 has been a ''wonder success battery saving excersize''. We need to get this elevated otherwise we might be waiting till September to get this sorted - and even that isn't guarenteed if the iOS 7.1.1 battery drain problem is sent into iOS 8 too.

i've the same problem in my iPhone 4s.

My 4S is having similar problems with battery. I've tried backing up and resetting but it still not working properly. It worked fine until the update and I am running all the same apps on my phone. Suggestions?
