Someone reported higher than normal battery drain in iOS 7.1. So, I checked my
battery status and found that my battery had drained 8% in about half an hour.
In another 15 minutes, it decreased another 3%.
I checked the status bar since iOS automatically displays the processes being
used. Sure enough, location services was running. This means, the GPS antenna
was active. The GPS antenna is the biggest drain on the battery. I checked my
apps and found nothing in the app switcher that would use location services.
So, I went into settings, general, background refresh, and blocked all apps
from running in the background. Location services disappeared from the status
bar, and my battery appears to have returned to normal usage.
Next, I will switch off all background apps and reactivate background refresh.
If location services comes on again, this will mean iOS 7.1 is improperly
activating location services deeper in the system. Otherwise, I will start
testing each app individually to discover which apps are now automatically
activating location services even when the app(s) are not running.
