Very poor battery life on Wi-Fi... Any fixes?!

IiPod touch 6G here. Love the device, but as soon as Wi-if goes on the battery life takes a HUGE hit. I'm not talking the usual slow drain as you can see with an iPad or iPhone, but cliff-diving, parachute jumping type declines! It makes me want to avoid using Wi-Fi with the device, which is a shame.


Are there are any solutions to this?!


I've tried turning off all background refreshes (apps, mail, etc.) and even once tried resetting the entire device, but to no avail.

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.2, Keeps on running...

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
