Thanks for that. I didn’t think to look there. Interestingly, my battery percentage is set to off, whatever that means.

My usage shows 11 hours 13 minutes, and standby of 2 days and one hour. Now, to me that is very good. This is on the 5s from Consumer Cellular. I'll check my work iPhone the nex time I run it down low. This phone was at 9'% when I plugged it in today.

I suppose I could try and reset my batter gauge by letting it run all the way down. Trouble is, once it’s below about 20%, it is really not all that stable. So, I would have to just leave it for a few days and make sure it was down all the way. I wonder if there is another way to reset the gauge. I know these batteries are not like NIMH batteries in terms of battery memory, but I also think I know that running them down periodically is good for them. Any battery experts want to chime in here?

I have not had much battery drain issue on my 5s, but I always leave it charge a good while after it says 100'% on AC power. Now, my work iPhone 5, did seem to be draining faster, but then I found all these apps that were now using location services after the update. I've turned all those off except the GPS apps. So we shall see. Richard "There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing." - Aristotle On Mar 18, 2014, at 1:20 PM, "Neal Ewers" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi all. I have been noticing slightly different battery life with the new OS. I have not changed any settings from before my update. After the update, on a day with normal use, which is not very heavy, I might be down 20%. The other night, I plugged my phone into my computer and forgot to unplug it when I turned off the computer. My USB charges when the computer is not on. I noticed it the next day before I rebooted and unplugged it. In the last three days I have lost about 7% per day with relatively the same usage. Now, I’m not saying that this is how you solve the problem. I have also had it plugged into the wall at times, but I have never left it connected that long after it finished charging. So, either something was downloaded to help this while it was connected to the wall, or it is because I left it in longer than normal. Or, it could be absolutely none of these. 7% a day is just about what I would normally get before the update. Go figure.
