you should check that you have a great network and a good 3G of wifi connection

1. No.

2. No.

3, No.


Overheating is a problem and should never occur. Any overheating should be analyzed by Apple. The best bet is the resident "Genius" at an Apple Store.

Realized during the times when the phone consumes the battery like a thirsty man at a watering hole my phone gets pretty warm.


Rebooted the phone. Within moments it was cool again. Booted it again, battery consumption is back to normal and the phone isn't warm. Went from 52% charged down to 17% in an hour. Rebooted, it's only lost 2% in the last 30 minutes. Still cool to the touch.


Something here is goofed up, and it's not the hardware on my phone.

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but my phone had lots of issues but this helped:


  1. Sign out and then in to the iTunes & Apple Store in the phone settings. Settings > iTunes & App Store (Tap your Apple ID)
  2. Turn off "Show Apple Music". Settings > Show Apple Music (Toggle this to off)

    I turned on "Show Apple Music" this morning, and haven't had any issues.

Yes. Apple Music kept the phone from idling for 8 hours. It's right there dude.


Apple Music keeps asking me to sign up when I already have!


Google it. It should be fairly obvious at this point Apple Music and 8.4.1 is having issues for a number of users. I don't have low battery logs like this until I did the 8.4.1 upgrade, and a bad battery isn't going to cause Apple Music to suddenly prevent my phone from idling.

I was hoping someone like you would have an intelligent interpretation of my low battery logs, but I guess that was too much to ask. I guess points and levels aren't indicative of usefulness.


The Genius visit is tomorrow. I wanted 2 days of logs, AC full charges and complete discharges to show before I went in, which is what you people suggested.
