Iphone 6 Battery Drain Bug (Found ?)

I have the same problem with the battery draining, I can literally watch it going down and I'm not doing anything! I have changed all the settings and it still hasn't fixed it for me! We don't have Wi-Fi calling in NZ so I don't know what else the issue could be.

I also tried to charge my phone at work via my laptop and after an hour it hadn't charged at all. I was using the USB I got with the phone and the phone "said" it was charging.

ALSO, I tried using my iPad charger after feedback from others on another thread but that doesn't charge it any quicker.

This issue is disappointing and extremely annoying if it means I can only use my phone when I "have to" and plan my day around how to keep my phone charged so I can use it all day.

Downside, I brought my phone from the apple site and we don't have an apple store in NZ😠

I don't have "Wi-Fi call" under "phone" - this option is not on my phone.

One thing that has helped (a little) is turning the brightness right down. If I turn it up again I notice the battery going down quickly. However, if I turn it down again, it still drains. It only seems to slow down the drainage after its fully charged and I don't touch the brightness at all. I've sent a few texts and made three phone calls in the span of two hours and it's on 80%. Pretty poor still but better than yesterday.

I did a restart with Apple on the phone for some other issues, and now my battery went from 100% to 85% in less than an hour while I was only texting and listening to NPR. No other apps were open at the time. What's going on with this? Are there any solutions yet?

I also just looked in my battery usage and saw that home and lock screen are taking up the most of my battery life, that doesn't seem right?

I feel a bit foolish, but my phone is 100% better now. It just takes a few decent full charges to get the battery life up to where it should be. So if you have a new iPhone, be patient, charge it every night and in a couple of days it should be fine. As for everyone else's issues, all the best on finding the solution.

PS Love the new iPhone - I held my old one and it feels soo small!!!

Could you please confirm this? I just can't seem to find those specific settings on my iphone 6.

Could you please confirm if you were noticing the Home & Lock screen eating up most of your battery before you let your phone go though a few full charge cicles?

I agree that you may have a good points, new batteries do require full charge cicles, but what seems to bother most of people in this topic is the home screen to drain so much of battery as shown in my picture below:

you cant do much about it because its the type of battery they put in the phone

the latest iPhone with the best battery is the 5c and the 5s changing phones or updating your device won't do anything

Information on Apple's testing for battery life can be found here:

my battery is draining bad too. I put the phone in airplane mode and it went from 100% to only 99% in 8.5 hrs. turned the cell part back on and went down 10% in 3hrs. this made me believe that its my wireless provider because they have a contract with another provider to use their towers when the main provider doesn't get signal. seems like my phone might be roaming all the time trying to figure out what tower to use (withought roaming charges). I also manually locked on to 1 provider and battery is still draining....

All of a sudden, after many restores without any success, my iPhone 6 started to drain battery more reasonably...

I was ready to mail it to apple for repair or replacement, but I've decided to give it a few more days and observe if the battery is really draining up correctly, or if it is just temporary.

The overheating has disappeared as wel...

Everyone still affected by the battery / heating problem: try upgrading your iOS to 8.1.2 and let us know if it has fixed your problems!
