Battery usage not showing?

Hello guys,


as many people, I also have a battery problem, battery is new, but it drains even in standby (nearly every function there is on iPhone is off). Total usage / standby time is cca 18 hours, which is really poor. This problem didn´t occur until ios 10.


But as I know it´s software related, I have another question..


When I go to battery to check which apps are draining it, I only have following text:


"Battery information will be available after using iPhone for a few minutes."


This never changes, it just stays like that. I´ve done multiple fresh starts, this has been in 10.1.1 as well.

iPhone 6 plus 64Gb.


Any Ideas?


Thanks in advance,

Mike

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10.2

So, I have reinstalled to 10.2 via iTunes, then I did a complete DFU restore, and now I run 10.2.1, still no changes, battery usage doesn´t show up. I tried also charging the phone to 90% max so I have more than 24 hours from since last full charge (100% lasts for max 16 hours, phone drains on standby like it was in normal use), still nothing...


Is there any other way?

Hi. Seems like you're on to it. I changed the battery to a cheap eBay one and all was fine until I updated to iOS 10.3.1 even the battery life was fine until the update. After the update battery brain was crazy. Full dfu restore and still the same. I'm after finding a genuine 6s battery online from a broken phone. My question is this. When I swap out the cheap battery for the real apple one do I need to restore the phone again or will the phone know it now has the real one in it ? Really hoping this works as the battery life is terrible. Cheers. Look forward to the reply

I've gotten the phone taken apart by tech repair guys that do micro soldering. The u2 ic chip is fried. It can have numerous symptoms. A short in a charger lead fried it. Voltage fluctuations caused it.


Fake charging , not charging a totally dead battery , rapid battery drain. Very common once you know symptoms and what to google.


90 euro to get it replaced. In a repair shop. Not apple.


Happy to have it sorted

After 3 complete discharge / charge cycles the batery usage info was displayed all of the sudden. So, basically, after the 4th charge since the phone was bought it started displaying the batery stats, without me doing anything to it.

In regard to the battery life, I'm quite satisfied with it, I've gotten upwards of 110hours per charge with ~8 h of usage and the rest of it stand by. The max I've got so far is 147.5 hours (9h of usage and 138h of stand by), roughly 6 days.

Mobile data is always on, so is WiFi.

Well, battery should be fine, same is happening like with the old one, if I start battery life on full charge, standby is about 16 days...which never happens though. It´s like the phone never did go into idle mode.


Anyway, I deleted beta profile two - three days ago, but didn´t update again via iTunes. Will do it soon, hope it helps, but I give it a fat chance as in previous ios 10 versions it did the same :-(
