Q: Iphone 6 fast battery drain IOS 8.1.2 even on standby

Has anyone come up with a solution?

my problem is app Store running in the background and draining. My phone will overheat and be dead in 3 hours

This happened to me 2 months ago. I ended up backing up my phone and reinstalling the IOS and then reinstalling all my apps.

Worked fine again for a couple of months.

Now its happening again!! Phone overheating and the app store draining battery in the background.

All settings for the app store are off.

Do i really have to reinstall IOS again???

I see that many users have this problem, I have Iphone 6, 64GB

No other changes have been made, no other software installed, but after 9.2 update battery life is so bad. Really it drains in minutes, even when i did full reset multiple times..... even with stock apps and disabled notifications, backups etc my phone drains battery! Cmon, i bought this phone for almost thousand euros and what do i get? Phone that after year of use will not last a full day? Even in standby mode 6h and use of 1,5h (no games, videos or smth) it gets from 100% to 15% now. RLY? And of course my warranty is over and what can i do? throw my phone away?

I have never had battery problems before during any iOS update/upgrade. But *like many here* I suddenly have abysmal battery life.

All I want is my phone to be usable again.

I now have a phone that will not last a full day - OF NOT BEING USED.

SO many threads right here and other forums.....And still there is no solution from apple. NO WORKING SOLUTION! I'M very VERY dissapointed.

Still waiting for solution, Gatis.

apple are very quiet about this issue.

Anyway, my phone is back to normal for the second time.

so you have to do a full backup on itunes

then you have to set the phone up as a new phone on iTunes, then you can restore it from the backup.

All the apps then have to reload. But it does that automatically.

this is the second time I have had to do this and it gave me peace for 1 month. I really hope it doesn't happen again. It takes many hours for this fix! A waist of my time.

I tried it, but didt help for me

The App Store has been draining my battery like crazy to the point where my phone would get really hot. I'd reinstall iOS and it would be a temporary fix just to find myself repeating the process over and over again. You have to manually close the App Store, open the App Store, hold the power button, when it asks if you want to turn the phone off then release the power button, and then hold the home button until the phone closes the App Store.

This method has fixed my battery/iPhone getting hot. Now if it happens again I'd just repeat the process vs reinstalling iOS. ✌️  ⌚️ 

after every 100% charge the battery comes to 99% in 15 minutes on standby i'm not even using any sim card on the phone and later in it cones to 85% in 2.5 hours.

when I use the phone it drops the battery a bit correctly but on standby it drops like a heavy usage going in the background.

I have tried to calibrate the battery but didn't worked.
