8.4.1 iOS Update battery draining quickly & overheating

Yes, turning off wifi seemed to work and the battery went back to somewhat normal useage overnight. BUT does that mean I have use cellular data only until a update is released? Ouch.

my 5c shuts down everytime i unplug it from my charger. I have to bring with me all the time my powerbank and plug it in.

Restored all settings and everything that was suggested in this forum but nothing helps. My battery wont event last a minute.

Apple please fix this asap. we bought ur product to make daily lives easy. this is now an additional burden.

Surely this is just another example of the longest running, worst kept secret out there? The degredation of both battery life and speed of your phone is a deliberate act by Apple in order to "persuade" you that it's time to upgrade. New firmware releases are nothing short of malware.

After resetting network settings (Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings) and after all of my iCloud photos had updated, my phone is now operating as it used to.

resetting your network settings reboots the phone and deletes all of your wifi passwords, so write them down before doing this.

My battery is now back to normal and not overheating. Issue only lasted a day. After charging & resetting, it's held up just like before. Guess I was lucky. It still needs to upload some photos but only does that when wifi is available. I do notice that it drains faster when I have wifi access and the photos are uploading.

It seems my iPhone 5S is back to normal. Haven't noticed anything annoying problems any more. And funny thing is I didn't do nothing. I just let it be, and it seems like everything fixed by itself. 😀

I too am having this issue. I am by no means a heavy phone user and prior the latest updated I could go 12 hours without having to recharge. Now I am barely making it 4 hours. Not to mention my phone is getting extremely hot which seems like a potential hazard. Hopefully they get an update out soon to rectify this.

I have the same issue. iPhone 6 overheats quickly and battery draining while using it. If not using, the battery seems to be ok. But whats the point of not using my phone??? Needed to be fixed immediately! after reading this post I sure know it's not just my phone and it's a real issue. I don't wanna reset to factory defaults or disable anything so that my phone would work. I want it to work like before, like few days ago, when it was working fine. That's how it should be, or do not release any updates before they have been thoroughly checked.

My iPhone 5S seems to have returned to it's normal battery habits. after 2 days of craziness.

I did few experiments and I finally managed to narrow it down,in my case I found out it's my apple music that making the battery drain and overheating,not the wifi or the itunes&apps sign in as I previously thought.so I sign out from apple music in my setting-music,and everything back to normal,the phone cooled off and the battery back to normal,but i lost all the subscribed songs from apple music.so apple definitely need to fix this problem as soon as possible if they don't wanna lose their apple music subscribers.

Going back to factory settings resolved my battery life, podcast app and app updates problems (iPhone 5s).

I did the network's reset on my iPhone 5S and logout/login of App Store, and today my battery is on 69% after more than 3 hours of heavy usage. Before the reset, at 12:00 hrs the battery percentage were 20% or less. I never had iTunes Music On btw.

Hi,

I have an iPhone 5/ 32GB. My iPhone started acting really quirky and doing the same as you described. In a perfect world I would only have iPhone problems! Vehicle wouldn't start on the way home, iPhone won't turn on and get's extremely hot then reboots itself. I finally got home synced the iPhone, went through all the resets as described and still nothing. I tried to restore, but the iPhone would not stay on long enough to restore from my MacBook.

Last resort for personal attempt to fix it, I followed these instructions and the problem went away:

• Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
• Press and hold on the Home button
• Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

The iPhone appears to be working fine now. It's charging without rebooting from the MacBook and it is no longer over heating.

Best wishes,

If all else fails say a little prayer and run through it again. I was just about to throw mine into a wall, really frustrated.

IOS 8.4.1 #BAD UPDATE#..😠

Facing Same issue...

Since updated iPhone 6 to iOS 8.4.1 :

Battery is Draining fast.

Getting max. 5 hours of battery backup and overheats during charging.

Slow Wi-Fi speed on device and some times Wi-Fi icon disappears.

Slow App store downloads.

I restored using iTunes, but these issues still persist.

I just got back from the Apple store. They replaced my 5s out of warranty at no cost, because the battery had suffered from a quality problem. The battery was swelling, which put pressure on other components and actually warped the phone. Initially they were going to just replace the battery, but on further inspection there were other issues.

My advice, if you are having a battery issue in a 5 or 5s, is to take it to the genius bar and have them check it out. They were exceedingly nice to me, and the whole issue was taken care of in about an hour.
