IPHONE 6 Fast Battery Drain Ios 8.1.1

Dear All,


I bought an iphone 6 few days ago with full pride thinking that just because i have an iphone 6, I'm not going to face anymore problems, but i was wrong.

At first i was using ios 8.0.2 and I was experiencing fast battery drains; my total usage time was surprisingly less than 7 hours. I thought to myself the problem is from the software; after updating to ios 8.1.1, the same problem still exists; having very fast battery drains.


Please inform if this is a software or hardware issue and what are the solutions to this.


Thanks for the prompt response,


Hassan

yes same here for me i called apple support and they said my battery was ok based on the diagnostic they took and based on the battery percentages and usage and stand by times i gave them what do you think it could be. its driving me nuts and i don't know what it could be. i am currently running iOS 8.1.1.

Same problem here. I have 6 Plus and I'm experiencing this issue. Today I unplugged my phone at 6 AM. from 8 to 12 pm I played music. Normally from 100%, it only goes down to 94% with 3 hours + of listening to music. But after the ios 8.1.1 update, I've been experiencing a significant battery drain issue. Now with the same pattern I have been doing, unplugged at 6 AM, from 8 to 12 pm listen to music, but now it's down to 87%. Very disappointed in battery life. I checked my battery health and it's still at 3000 MaH, so battery is fine. So something is not right.


I've done a countless of factory restore and setting up as new so to speak and problem still persist. So it has to be a software issue.


I believe it has to do with ios related issue that still hasn't been fixed. Apple has been a huge disappointment lately. I'm hoping ios 8.2 would fix the battery but I'm afraid not.

I Am really disappointed that every year they try to improve something and we always end up back to square one. My battery will last really long on one percent but will drain when it's on full charge I really don't get it and iOS 8.1.2 dI'd crap. I also don't get how some say there's are great and theres us who isn't do we all have defected models or something some one please explain this to me.

Hi!

You are not the only one having issues. EVERYONE using iPhone has the problem. People like us are educated enough to spread it so Apple can read it and take steps ASAP. On the flipside Apple is only ******* off the customers and their most loyal users by taking tiny steps in doing anything about these bugs.

They are not even addressing the problem by giving any statement as such.

How much time will it take for me to sell my iPhone and get a better android phone. The answer is just One day!

But im living in the hope Apple will do something about it someday "soon".

I Have apple care I really feel like smashing my iPhone going to the store and said it fell out of my pocket and they would give me a new one and I would see if the new phone is the same not sure if it's worth it though any suggestions ? I would see if the battery life on the new one is the same because my mom has the exact same model as me black 64 gig and hers is ok I checked it and it lasts her so that's why Im thinking of doing that.
