Ios 10.2 draining battery FAST!

How strong was the cellular signal? A 1 "bar" weak cell signal will use 10 times the energy that a 5 bar requires. You should also see what was processing in background, and check settings/battery. However, yes, you should contact Apple about it. http://getsupport.apple.com.

Read the post carefully. It DID solve the problem for the first day. AFTER reinstalling apps the problem returned. What can you conclude from that?

If it was a 10.2 issue I would expect ALL iPhones with 10.2 to have the issue. Computers like the iPhone are deterministic. As it is, a vanishingly small number of the over 200 million phones that have likely been updated to 10.2 have it. And the symptoms are different for each one who has posted about it.

I would conclude that ios 10.2 works excellent for "everyone" without any apps and without Siri.

I agree. Whatever. I'm done trying to troubleshoot this since I just wound up back where I was. Perhaps my battery is due to be replaced, but I definitely noticed this IOS exacerbate the problem. It doesn't matter what app I use, the battery drains quickly. Coconut Battery gives conflicting reports as to my battery's potential charge, so that's not even reliable. Maybe I can make through until Sept. or so, maybe not. Time will tell I guess.

Regarding Safari: Close all pages that are open, or clear website data in Settings/Safari. Many sites continuously update pages that are open in your browser, using both data and energy.

Regarding mail: If you have an MS Exchange account there is a known bug in Microsoft's ActiveSync protocol that can cause excessive data and energy consumption. If a data exchange is interrupted Exchange will create a new connection to the client, but it does not delete the old connection, so the client continually tries to connect on it and fails. While this can happen at any time, there's a higher probability of it occurring when an update is being installed, as the phone shuts down to install the update. The fix is to delete the Exchange account, reboot the phone, and add it back. Or just go into Settings/Mail, turn off the account, reboot, and turn it back on.

You are even blaming MS for battery drain of iPhones via mail app?! If iOS handle apps correctly and user set push off & use fetch instead plus disabling background refresh, no app can run in background to drain battery like this

This BUG is a combination of certain apps not playing well with IOS 10.2, then the phone going into a loop and draining battery. There are literally millions of potential combinations and variables that could come into play. Just because it only effects a lower percentage based on variables, does NOT mean it is not a "real issue" to those effected.

I drove to work this morning and saw 5 people in the ditch or wrecked from black ice. There were 100's of cars that weren't. So according to you, black ice was not a "real issue" this morning.

Does capitalizing it make it a bigger, more severe bug? So you think it is just one bug, one piece of code that Apple can change to fix it? Any possibility it could be the apps fault and the developer will have to update? And no, the phone is not going into a loop, that would result in a different symptom.

And to use your analogy, if you drove a Chevy and went into a ditch would it be the cars fault?

I do agree it is a real problem for people experiencing it but it isn't a simple global bug that Apple programmers can simply look at and change. The only way they can know what is happening is by looking at as many combinations as possible. To do that it is necessary to work with them to eliminate possibilities. They could ask permission to install a profile that will monitor usage on the phone and send reports. But you can't accomplish any of that posting rants here.

Really? You are resorting to caps, spelling and grammar complaints to make your points now?

They DID YES CAPS DID install a profile monitor in the battery tracking app they added in iOS 10.2. But I'm sure that was only for the end user and not for Apple to use to troubleshoot the issue that doesn't exist.

And LOL at it's the apps developers fault. Who developed my Siri app again?

And lastly...yes if the wheel fell off the Chev (or any of 100's of other possible causes) and it came that way from factory then **** right it was their fault.

So if the wheel fell off the Chevy then it would be the Chevy's problem and not the black ice. You seem to be working against your argument.

The battery history that was added is not the same thing as Apple installing a profile on your phone to monitor it. The profile looks at what is happening with the processor, RAM, battery use, etc. along with what apps are being used and what state they are in. They install it on your iPhone remotely. It helps find ISSUES (since you like caps), not one issue that you think exists that is causing all battery usage. And yes Apple is a developer. But contacting Apple you have killed two birds with one stone.

This must be how some people achieve "level 9" here by making useless points and inciting the users looking for answers? You entirely missed my point that a "real problem" is not defined by one user here that posts millions of views is the ONLY standard for a "real problem". You agree with it then counter with the Chev twist....nice.

No that clearly is not how you achieve it since you are still at 28 points.

A real problem can be a lot of things. I don't discount that people have battery issues. I have had them with past combinations of iPads, iPhones and iPods. I particularly had a problem with iOS 3.0 and my iPhone 3G. I contacted Apple and we put a profile on my iPhone. We were able to isolate what the issues were (there were more than one) and it was fixed in an update. Also did this with my iPad once. I had real problems. I worked with Apple, and a couple of developers and the real problems were resolved. That is all Lawrence and myself and others with similar posts are trying to suggest.

I just made a short call, no apps open - more than 10% drain.

I also believe it is not a real drain as percentage went up very quickly upon charging.

Please understand the problem exists and I am not complaining in order to have points here but

hoping Apple developers will take notice

Apple developers do not read this forum, so they won't take notice based on your post. They also don't make any decisions, they do what they are told to do. If you believe there's a problem with the version you need to get the message to QA, not developers. The way to do that is to contact Apple support, where all issues are logged. https://getsupport.apple.com is a good place to start.
