Q: 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

    Same issue guys with 2 iphones (6) i have been using apple since iphone 3 but wasnt that irritated as the battery always lasted for a day watever usage was. the more excited i was to get this one the more frustration it brought. A brand new phone by apple with 10 years history and still no solution.

    WWhat worked for me (maybe randomly) is to go to location services->system services and switch off mobile network option. After it was off for a day I switched it back on and now my battery is better than ever

    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.

    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!

    I too am having battery drainage issues... in fact, for the past 2 days the battery was dead before 11 AM - this is new - today, I updated the software to 8.1.2 - we will see... But what is weird is, nothing has changed since I first downloaded 8.1.1 - but yet the battery suddenly is only lasting about 3 hours. Hope this new update helps...

    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".
