8.4.1 iOS Update battery draining quickly & overheating

Likewise, I am experiencing these problems as well, so there is no need to reiterate the obvious; however, I am disturbed further concerning the apparent absence of Apple personnel within most of these forums.

Long ago, there were timely chime-ins from Apple with tangible input; the opportunity to collaborate with Apple TECHs was invaluable, even if there was not an immediate fix. Acknowledgement from Apple personnel showed the evidence of concern for consumer experience along with proudly upholding the integrity of their products being actively expressed.

Speaking as an Apple user for all personal technological solutions, if I have to disable Apple-specific features, remain at risk for information loss, pay top dollar for unreliable hardware, be consistently subjected to less than sufficient software innovations, and seek third-party assisance in an attempt to obtain a mere remnance of the Apple experience, I may as well be a customer of an Apple competitor!

Apple, the ball is now in your court!

So what do you do in the meantime?

This isn't completely uncommon however it is something to be proactive about.

If the basic troubleshooting steps do not work, there is always the option of restoring the device via iTunes and setting it up as new.

By doing that, you will install Brand-New, Up-to-Date software.

If your battery s still behaving erratically, and you are within 1 Year Hardware Limited Warranty, you are eligible to have your phone replaced.

If not, Battery replacements/ repairs are $79.00 Plus applicable tax.

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.

how did you downgrade?

Also I have huge battery drains since my update. I'm having an iPhone 5 and an iPad 2. The phone drains usually from 100-20% withing 4 hours without barely any usage. This makes me truly unhappy with my Iphone If I can not even get along from 8:00 till 12:00

Okay, people, just to make one thing clear:

Nothing will help this problem.

WE NEED A NEW UPDATE AND FAST!

Every given solution is just a temporary solution. They do not fix the problems with battery or overheating, Apple Music, Safari, Mail, App Store etc.

And those are the problems with my iPhone 5S. And nothing helps. Every time those problems come back.

And I'm really sure this overheating is not a healthy thing for my phone.

Apple should say something, because this is a serious matter. We need a fix.

OK folks I've had the problem on three devices and it's easy to see what's happened.

WHen I originally switched on iCloud Photo storage (back on 8.3) I went through a period of several days with awful overheating and battery drain. On closer inspection of you look at the Settings -> Photos & Camera you will see during times when the phone etc is overheating that it is either 1) Uploading XXX images 2) Downloding XXX images or 3) Preparing XXX images. It's this background process that's going crazy with the battery usage.

THe upgrade to 8.4.1 looks to have a problem (may be deliberate) but it causes this process to restart.

While this is frustrating, it does complete - for me and my 90,000 photos it took about 2-3 days. It prefers to do this on wifi so sometimes turning off that will help for a while. Trust me when it's finished your battery life is back to normal.

HOpe that helps!

I Don't sync photos, so while that may have impacted you, it is not at all clear this is the root problem.

It is no longer possible to downgrade, as Apple has stopped signing the 8.4 firmware.

I really think Apple hasn't addressed this problem either because they don't care or it's a much bigger issue than they care to admit.

This did not help me.

Thank you. I'm beginning to believe you are right because NOTHING resolves this issue. Yes, Apple needs to chime in NOW.

Early next month is not good enough. Apple should have never released this POS update.

I Signed out from my itunes & apps store on setting and turned off my wifi ,and it works,my phone stop overheating and battery back to normal,and its been 2 days already,I hope I'll work for everybody.temporary solution until they release the next update.
