iOS 8.0.2 is draining the battery too quickly in my iPhone 5 and is taking too long to charge.Safari is not at all working properly after the update. I'm getting a maximum of 5 hours 20 minutes of usage time after the update and it is only half of the time when I was using my phone with iOS 7.2. Is anybody else has got the same issues in their iPhone after the update.
iPhone 5, iOS 8
My battery was fine and consistent until 8.0.2. Including the 8.0 and the 8.0.1 updates. It's 8.0.2 that has killed my battery life.
Oh and that's with using all the suggestions that Apple and other sources have provided to extend battery charge...nothing works.
I have an iPhone 5S running iOS 8.0.2. The battery drains much faster and takes longer to charge than it did with iOS 7.1.2, and the phone heats up more than it ever did before the upgrade. I hope Apple releases a fix for these issues soon.
I wouldn't hold my breath.
Your battery problem has nothing to do with the release version. See: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain
well i have the same issue and it only happened with ios 8.0.2 so saying it has nothing to do with the release version is not entirely right i suppose. i had everything mentioned in the article turned off even before the update to ios8. It worked fine on ios7 but now the battery drains within a few hours. I'm not an expert but if it's not the release what else would it be?

If you read 7 years of posts on this subject you will find the statement:
"My phone was fine too until I had the IOS [2, 2.2, 2.2.1, 3, 3.1, 3.1,2, 3.1.3, 4, 4.1, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2,1 5, 5.1, 5.2, 6, 6.1, 6.1,2., 6.1,3, 7, 7.1, 7.1.2] update. "
If it was truly a problem unique to iOS 8 then none of those posts would have happened. And it would mean there's a bug that has existed in every major release and point release of iOS for 7 years, which is highly unlikely. And the posted solution for each time was to find the app that was stuck sending or receiving data that was interrupted by the update and dealing with it.
I have a list of threads on the subject for each release if you are really interested.
The problem is NOT with the version, and CAN be solved with a little detective work.
This is the best information I have found on battery issues: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain
Thanks for the information.
1. As stated I have tried these suggestions already with no results.
1a. If having these features on and habits pre-update release was not causing battery drain then why would it now? And if the feature was not available until the latest update then it's obvious that said new feature could be part of the problem.
1b. There are more powerful things going on in iOS 8 than in iOS 7. It is very possible in my case that until 8.0.2 these new features were not working properly thus not draining my battery as fast.
2. I will not ignore the fact that my battery does not last as long as it did when I was running 8.0.1. I thought everyone that was complaining about battery drain in 8.0.0 and 8.0.1 were crazy too.
3. The internet is not infallible.

Edited for my crap grammar.
You might try checking that your iphone 5 isn't one listed as having abnormally rapid drainage and eligible for free battery exchange.
iOS 8.0.2 *****
