Hi,
I recently purchased an iphone 5s. The phone is awesome. But I'm really worried about the battery life. I turned icloud off, background app refresh off, fewer notifications, email in manual fetch mode and every other possible settings to get good battery life. I switch off the wifi and cellular data before going to sleep. The next day I see 10% battery drain in 10 hours of sleep. Is this normal?
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2
Did you check which app is using the most of the battery life? Go to Settings/Battery and check the usage for apps. Standby and usage time can also point to background activity. Compare the usage time before you go to sleep and when you pick up your device again.
Make a screenshot before you go to bed and in the morning compare the results again. If there are any apps using your phone at night, they will be listed or show an increase in use.
Standby and usage time can also point to background activity. Compare the usage time before you go to sleep and when you pick up your device again. If only the standby time differs, there is nothing wrong.
Thanks for the reply. I have checked it already. After 10 hours of sleep, the usage time remained the same as before sleep but the standby time was different (I guess there was an increment by 10 hours). That means, no app was actually using the battery. Still, the battery lost 10% of power in 10 hours.
Just tested my iPhone5s, my battery life went down 5% in 7 hours. Mail accounts: push/fetch were set to "off"
iCloud: Mail, contacts, calendars, Backup, Find my iPhone active, iCloud Drive and Photos set to "off"
Thanks Ingo. Then my iphone seem to be fine. Yesterday, I clean installed ios 9.2 and checked the battery life. I installed no apps. turned off icloud drive, photos, backup, notification, location, background app refresh etc. also the mail was set to fetch manually. I found 4% drain in close to 7 hours. The apps health, safari have opened during this period on its own. here are the results
Looks perfect to me, the clean install must have helped. If you haven't already, try to restore from the latest backup to get all your data and settings back.
Best of luck.
Thank you. Your help is much appreciated. 🙂
You're welcome 🙂
