Basically,
I noted the past 2-3 days that my battery is dying really quick. It dies after being charged all night within 25 minutes. I also noticed that the wheel keeps spinning at the top of my screen between the time and wifi symbol. Is there a connection?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2
I think that means the device is accessing the internet. It may be app's checking for updates or the device.
You could try a reset hold both the on button & the home button until the Apple logo appears.
That must have been it Dr.9! It stopped! Thank you for your advice, it was greatly appreciated.
Had the same problem myself so thought what worked for me might be the solution for you too. 🙂
The small spinning wheel at top left indicates iPhone is searching for a Wifi.
Nope as I'm already connected via wifi when I see the wheel - connecting to the internet activates said wheel.
I think that it is turning the WiFi switch on in Settings (from "not connected" ) that starts the wheel.
In normal circumstances the wheel stops when you have selected and connected to a network of your choice.
You are right.
the wifi signal indicator is there, a spinning icon will appear next to it when downloading data or accessing the network.
why does the wheel keep spinning at the top of my screen on my iphone 5
