hi
My wife has iPhone 5 and I have iPhone 5s. we both upgraded to iOS 7.1.2 last night and our battery run out in the middle of the day. On top of that when I plug it on the charger the phone gets really hot... this happens to both phones...
Tried to downgrade but wasn't able
anyone
help
Yes, this a thoughtful article, but my wife and I upgraded from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 the other day and our batteries on our 5s phones are draining so fast they don't last thru the day with just light use. This is a dramatic and sudden change. I've checked the recommendations and our settings are fine.
I think there is a problem with 7.1.2.
tryed that but still have the same problem.....and the phone gets hot when i plug it in
I also have the same problem. My 5s was fine until the upgrade. Now it sometimes doesn't charge when I put the cable in but regardless, I lost about 30% battery life in about 1.5 hours this morning and I didn't even use it. When plugged in the other night watching YouTube, it was charging but the battery was actually losing charge when plugged in. My phone is always warm and it never used to be. I have cancelled every location service and push notification and it made no difference. Thanks apple. Now I have a phone that lasts about 4 hours on standby.
a solution must be found very soon because our phones will become permanently damaged. Also there is no way we can downgrade anymore...hope apple can release a new update fixing asap
This still does not address the sudden change in battery life after an update. Phone gets very hot when the battery is draining. Something is running in the background that Apple hasn't fixed yet. Turning off functions that previously had no impact is not a fix, it is a crutch. Can't believe this is not found during testing.
my wifes iphone 5 is now dead , doesn't even charge......
Hi,
I experienced the same thing since the update. I disabled push for emails and it solved the battery drain. Before the update i had also push for mails active but it didnt cause any issue. Can you see if that is also the case for you?
i have the same problem with my iPhone 5c, and I updated the phone a few days ago too! I have noticed in the last couple of days my battery is draining so fast even when I am not even using the phone! I went to sleep one night & my phone battery was 60% & when I woke up my phone was dead! my phone is so hot too! how do I disable the push emails?
NO that is not the case with me , i spoke with apple support last night and they guided me to restore my phone as new , they said it would fix the problem , but it didnt , my phone lasts half a day . My wifes phone is still closed and does not charge . I have another friend that has the same problem . Herr battery run out and the phone hasnt started yet ( its been 3 days ) now ... Apple has to release a new update fixing that .... The restore option doesnt do anything .....by the way apple technician checked the status of my battery remotely and said that it was ok , also the temperature .... so if the battery is ok wheres the problem....and why my phone is still hot ...
Settings -> mail, contacts, and calendars -> fetch new data -> there you will see push is on, put it off and test for an hour your battery in stand by. Please let me know the result.
WIll try it .. Thanks you where right it was on ... Lets see if that will do the trick ...
You can also try these.
Use airplane mode on areas with low coverage.
Turn on Wifi if it is available and turn off cellular data. 3G/4G/LTE actually drains more battery than wifi
Disable location service when not in use
Settings>Itunes & AppStore> Turn off automatic downloads for updates, apps and music.
Settings>General>Background App Refresh>OFF
Settings>General>Auto-lock>1 minute
Settings>Mails, Contacts, Calendar>Fetch New Data> Turn off push and select manual for all the email account listed below
OK then if you do all this why get an iphone . What is the purpose of having a phone that doesnt do anything but has a face ....?
These are some ways to save battery. You don't have to do all these. On low coverage areas your phone will continue searches for signal and attempt to establish 3G/4G/LTE thus drains battery. Location specific apps will keep pinpoint your location and upload your location for Find My iPhone. Backgrounded app keeps refreshing apps which keeps them active in the background, and email push/fetch refresh every mins or hour so if you rather have a less battery drain phone you can try these. It's no use having a phone that dies in the middle of the day unless u have a charger and outlet to charge.
You can turn toggle on and off location in the control center, airplane mode, active up front app will refresh itself when in use, and emails can fetch itself when u open the mail app. No need to have emails on constant push/fetch unless u waiting for important email.
Heat alone degrades phone battery so keep it cool.
Why have a dead phone? Might as well keep it at home
