Hi,
Wow, that's a lot of usage through the day. Were you actually on it for the
close to 9 hours or is that likely stuff happening in the background? Mine's
down to 21% this morning but I can't get the Usage numbers as I restarted it
yesterday.

Hey Tim,
Ah I am understanding the usage stats more now, so it is claiming that my
iPhone was in use for 9 hours since last charge. It has to be something that is
running in the background which could very well be what is taking up most of my
battery, as for most of the day it was just sitting
Hi,
You may wish to take a look at the amounts of data being used by various system
Services. Go to Settings/Cellular, That should tell you what apps are using
data and down near the bottom of the list, there is one called System Services
that will give you detail about how much cellular data
My battery usage varies depending on what activities I do with the phone. GPS
and heavy internet use over 3G is a major battery drain. I was once getting
turn by turn directions in the car while streaming my iTunes Match music over
3G. I drained my spare battery pack and drained the iPHone's
it seems that when these battery start to go bad, a lot of times they don't
just crash all it wants. At least, that's what mine did, it started giving me
less and less time. So, if you have had your iPhone for a while, it might be
beneficial to get the battery tested. At least it was for me.
Hi,
My iPhone was fully charged yesterday morning:
• down to 73% this morning.
• Background updating is On.
• a number of Apps including Weather, Messages and Safari are running in the
background according to the App Switcher.
• iCloud Syncing is On.
• Mail notifications is on Manual.

Hey Tim,
Thanks for this detailed posting. I guess I am going to let my battery fully
die, and then charge it and go from there. Thanks again for the post.

I agree. I used to go nearly the whole day with reasonably frequent use without

Hi.
I think that Ricardo is spot on with respect to past updates, but not this
time. In fact, several sighted friends and relatives have been making the same
complaints -- I wonder if that means their sighted peers who do not seem to be
having a battery issue will consider them paranoid,
Coming in late to this thread.
I personally don't have a battery issue with Ios7, on a 4, and 5...
What are the usage stats saying?
Useage and standby times?
Also, has the people experiencing the drainage tried doing a complete
restore, and not restoring?
I.E, do a restore, and then do not sync
I must agree with your assessment of Ricardo's attitude. However, it must be
noted that I've never had heat battery life with the iPhone 4 first running
ios4, then 5 then 6 and now 7. It's not terrible but it's not great either.
On 2013-09-24, at 3:36 PM, CJ Daniel cj.bear.dan...@gmail.com
I cannot speak for anyone else, of course, but I did try a restore, and ran the
battery completely down afterwards before a recharge.
