I decided to go ahead and update my jailbroken iPhone 5. Lots of nice new features and improvements. New bug fixes but the update also brought about one major problem to my iPhone. My iPhone is noticeably much faster. Transition animations are smoother and speedier. But the major issue that I've noticed is battery life is much shorter now

From 7.0.4. I may do a factory reset to see if it fixes the short battery issue. |

I sometimes just power mine off then back on and it seems to clear up battery issues. Normally I have great battery life, but perhaps once a month it starts draining very fast. Powering it off then back on solves the problem. After that I drain it down to less than 20% battery charge then fully charge it.

I did notice that the update (on the iPad, at least) turns on Bluetooth, which will certainly shorten battery life.

I'll try that before the factory reset. Hope it helps because I really don't want to reset my iPhone. Quote:
True. All the updates turn Bluetooth on. I always turn it off right after. I never use Bluetooth anyway. I'm wondering if I can switch AirDrop off. As I'm guessing that also shortens battery life. |

One of the biggest battery eating culprits is any app that uses cellular to phone home all the time. I suggest going to Settings --> Cellular and scrolling down to the Use Cellular Data For list and turning it off for apps you don't won't to use it.
Note: Some apps require a data connection to work, and if WiFi is not available they will use cellular. I personally turn of the cellular data for most apps, especially those I rarely use when away from WiFi. If I'm out away from WiFi and I want to use one of the apps that require data and that I turned off cellular data for, I simply toggle it back on for a few minutes while I use the app. Last edited by jswinden; 03-29-2014 at 12:58 PM. |

If there's an article about that then I guess a lot of people are experiencing battery issues which makes me wonder if it's a bug. If so, then the only solution is for Apple to release an update. Anyway, thanks for the link. Quote:
Thank you for that. I'll have to go through my apps. I just want to try every possible solution before doing a reset. |

Probably not. Every smartphone, regardless of the OS it runs (iOS, Android, Windows, BlackBerry), tends to eat the battery charge if you don't correct its attitude. Too many apps mine for data and want to run in the background even if you don't know they are doing so. If you set proper limits for the apps and set the settings to match your needs, you can control battery usage. So it is just the nature of the beast known as smartphone.
