My battery isn’t that bad. If I unplugged my phone at 100% around 1 in the morning, by that time the next day (on Standby) it was about 85%

I have nothing to compare it to. I bought my iPhone and it prompted me to update. :’(.

I updated to ios 5.1.1 and then what i could see was , the percentage getting reduced once in two mins . I got so irritated doing so much of restores . But finally ONE perfect solution worked wonders …. “”GO to settings . Turn off automatic update of time and date “” . Tats all . But after recharging to 100 percent , u should power off and then reastart . Nw i charge once in 30 hrs . Its really amazing . Try it !!!

Upgraded my relatively new Ipad2 to iOS 5.1. Battery now won’t charge to more than 84% even after charging for 10 hours or more. Plus, it drains in no time. Forget the techie fixes; this must be impacting millions of non techie people Worldwide and is a consumer scandal.

Querry:
- iphone not charging anymore after ios 5 update or 5.1* update
- battery not charging, iphone

Solution in End : Checked for iphone 3GS (should work with others too)

I resolved the problem,

> After contacting for support every body say pblm with battery, USB port and USB cable all of this is non technical and non-experienced answers….!
> I re-evaluate and concludes ‘the software issue only’.
******
(phone state: show no battery icon, charge for 10 sec, start showing apple icon and again drain up or hang up without charging, Connected for hours for charging but no result). Wifi was ON by default so can see on my laptop iphone connecting and disconnecting which shows battery not charging above 2%.

******

> Before connecting to PC install redsnow0.9.11b4 which was the latest version available.
> Assuming your phone is already jail broken (good sign) as it was in my case (Dont feel it will jailbreak at this time since no battery it will not fetch .shsh/.ipsw , )
> Neither it will show up in itunes and even if so it show up for a moment and when u try to restore will say ios corrupt so no need to try this.
*****Steps*****

> I restarted the Lptop. Run the redsnow .Can see ‘jailbreak’ and ‘extras’ . Click ‘extras’ > Click ‘just boot’. Read message.
> Connect the mobile with USB cable.
> whatever is the state of the ‘Next’ button. Switch of your mobile either shown battery charging icon or apple display.. Try normal shut down if doesn’t work press power+menu together for few seconds.
> Be quick now! Click ‘next’ button and press power=> 3sec thn menu+pwr=>8-10 sec and release pwr only.
> Sit behind and smile ! Soon you will see ur mobile back to normal and charging.

Suggestion : Remove icloud and keep data on PC will enhance performance.

Good Luck !

After ios5.1 , I am facing lots of issue. I updates last night, I can see the performance degraded a lot..
Last night I see following issues,

> booting time increased to twice-thrice
> application start time increased.
> iphone hangs while during the calls and dont restart back
> Not charging through any of my USB ports neither from Laptop, desktop etc.
> Connect to itunes after 3-4 iterations.

Next morning :

> Not charging anymore battery drained
> After regressive effort connected to laptop but unable to restore saying ios currupted….strange !!!Battery drained again
> Now kept for charging through USB charger (not showing any display of charging ! ). Not charging any more..
> I can only see degrading of performance in all aspects…

My conclusion is the problem exists with the ios5.1 and its firmware not the battery.
I believe the Apple launched io5.1 without proper testing and will suggest every one wait for the new stable ios to come and dont update to 5.1.xx….
Also, people who are using ios5.1.1 don’t let your battery drain out fully may face the charging issue…. !

I am still finding the solution to some how charge battery once and restore the iphone.

I am having the same issue. Had fantastic battery life under iOS5.0 and now with 5.1 my phone is dead in 1/2 a day from 100%, with little or no usage.

With my iPhone 4S, diminished battery performance happened seemingly overnight. Over about a week I noticed far faster drain than I’d been accustomed to since acquiring the phone in 11/11.
Since updating software a couple days ago, the improvement has been dramatic! Wish I’d looked into this much sooner.

I’ve had the iPhone 4S since it came out and never had an issue with the battery, before or after the update designed to “fix the battery problem”. Now, all of a sudden, my battery completely drained, killed my phone, 5 hours and 32 minutes after the last full charge. I did a bit of browsing, listed to my iPod for about 20 minutes and set a timer for 15 minutes and it went off for about 5 minutes. Now that I’m charging it, it’s taking a really long time! Normally when I charge, it takes no time at all…

Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, have you found any solutions? I don’t particuluarly want people to respond just saying they’ve experienced the same thing, I’d like a solution.

Guys, this methods are useless. Believe me, they just don’t work. This is what I do: I just run my app called ENERGIZER, and all problems are gone!

5.0.1 effed my iPod Touch 4G battery life horribly. I also noticed it starts from 98% then jumps up to 100% then it goes to 81% then jumps up to 90% ect…
However, this new update has did some help and fixed crashing apps . I couldn’t even start Black Ops without of crashing on 5.0.1 and yes I did re-install it but 5.1 fixed it and runs perfectly fine. Eff 5.0.1 and eff Apple lol

After updating my old 5.0.1 to 5.1 os of my iphone 4s my battery sucks! It is consuming battery so fast and drained the battery even i still have 40% of battery! But when i plug the charger it indicates that i still have 40% battery! I hate this situation. I bought my phone even this is so expensive. Apple please do something!!!
