Just got an iphone, having moved from a Blackberry. Seems that there is a big battery drain issue meaning I go from full charge to nothing with no use in approx 6hrs. Completely defeating the point of a smart phone I've deleted all apps, turned off notifications, location and don't use iCloud. Done a full restore, all to no avail.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix? It's all over the Apple forums but there does not seem to be an answer
I expect to get an Android recommendation....
Not had that problem with mine, if I don't use it even with wifi on it'll last ages. Do you have an Apple store near you, they'll be very helpful.
email set to push?
Are you in a flaky network area or somewhere that flips from 3G to 2G - not that you can do much about this?
Can't help much further - whilst mine is not great, I can get 2 days out of it if its in my back pocket more than in my hand.
Carry a spare battery...Oh... 😳
Mine ok too get full day even with fair bit of
Playing ... I guess you have checked but is it running
iOS 5.1 ? This did help battery issues from iOS 5
Thanks for replies (I carry my charger!)
I'm in a good network area, on 5.1, deactivated push, no Siri...
It's a new phone.. Were you using it constantly for 6 hours? Or was it just on standby...
If it is a new phone, battery will not be the best until you have charged it a few times. If it's gaming, then I would expect 6 hours or less.
Set your time zone manually
Goto, Location Services/System Services..
Turn off Diagnostics, iAds, Setting Time Zone
Turn off Wi-Fi if not connected
Don't have the screen too bright, this can drain the battery like every smartphone.
I get 1-2 Days, use everything and now even jailbroken and still have good battery life.
Apple store, sir?
full charge to nothing with no use in approx 6hrs
With [u]no use[/u]? Something wrong there.
A charge will last two days on my 4 if I don't use it and that's with bluetooth, wifi, push email all turned on.
I suggest Apple Store as Cougar says.
Do you use exchange for mail? Work mate had same issue, traced back to exchange.
