Apple Confirms iOS 5.0.1 May Not Have Fixed All iPhone Battery Issues
Apple released iOS 5.0.1 yesterday, which in addition to bringing multitouch features to iPad 1 and fixing the iPad 2 smart cover security flaw also included a number of bugs that was affecting battery life for some users.
Based on comments from some of our readers it looks like the iOS software update hasn't resolved the battery issues for all the users.

Battery life did not improve much if any on my 4s
-
Apple 2 Fails! Another one, and your OUT!.. LoLI think is a Hardware issue...! Don't you think?
-
I didn't have a battery issue with my 4s until I Updated my phone. Before the update I was getting 16-18 hours off a full charge. Now I'm having to charge twice a day to get 8 hours. How do I go back to IoS 5?
-
Battary life about the same and my Bluetooth sill not working, anyone else have the same problem
-
For me the battery got worse and also with the update Siri is not working properly.
-
Just do a restore as a new phone and do NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP. I called apple and they recommended this and my battery life is way much better
-
My 3gs still has battery issues. After iOS 5 i have to charge my phone multiple times a day and if I don't charge it before it dies, I have to plu it into my computer for it to power up again. It's really getting annoying now.Especially since the update was supposed to help my phone.
-
My battery has improved. I can go a full day without charging now.
-
I have an iPhone 4 and this software update hasn't resolved the battery issue!
-
This update made my battery life worse then what it was
-
Let's just all return our apple iPhone 4s and get a refund. We all have at lease till the 14th of November 2011.
-
Lets all switch to android phones.
-
the only way to get a full time battery per day (24 hours) turn wifi, bluetooth, spotlight search, location off.... but if you wanr more than 24 hours.. turn notification and reduce the brightness when you dont need it.... im on IOS 5 and trust me... i just turn the wifi off and location off and reduce the brightness when i dont need it and i get 24 hours of battery... so.. learn how to use your iphone well.... dumbasses..
-
i just hope it's not a hardware issue and do a recall... we don't have an apple store in our country and i don't want to pay for shipping and have it shipped across the globe...
-
I,m having iPhone 4 and I don't have battery issue but I had updated to ios 5.0.1 to inhance the battery but it affected the battery Consamtion to the down
-
well if we turn everything off then why not go back to old Nokia phones from late 90'sI still believe that the biggest issue is with not being able to turn off 3G, especially for those with spotty 3G coverage. since I got my 4Shit I've had more dropped, failed and missed calls than charlie sheen sex in the last six months and this is not a joke, so apple bring back the 3G option
-
i aggree this is the hardware issue now the only solve the problem is apple recall iphone 4s change the new battery . but apple won't do that it couse lost apple profit
-
Battery levels stayed the same. Where the update screwed me was my contacts. If I don't have the "+ 1" format entered, the name of the contact doesn't show up. Planning on restoring to factory settings.
-
so you can switch your phone off at all and your battery will be good for a week )))
-
What's th point of doing all that... I bought a smartphone not a dumb phone, I didn't have a battery issue prior to updating..... You're the DumbAss
-
My battery lose it'a power faster than before
-
To be honest, I can't even tell anymore. What's considered normal?For today, I have 4 hrs 39 mins of usage and 13 hrs 49 mins of standby with 38% battery remaining. This is on maximum brightness with push email, notifications, bluetooth, wifi, location services, icloud, documents, photo stream, find my iphone, etc.; all on. I turned off ping, diagnostics, location iads, and time zone.What should my battery be at after that? I need a basis to compare it to.http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/neosum/8a572624.jpg

Siri also doesn't work for me, battery is worse than iPhone 4, I know as I run two phones (1 personal & 1 work) of which one is a 4 & the other a 4s, I try to use both phones as much as the other, at the moment I cannot get a full day out of the 4s & end up using my old 4 a lot more
-
Massive joke now, iPad 2 and iPhone 4s both running iOS 5.0.1, both extremely poor on battery as of both versions of ios5! Obviously a software issue as this is affecting all devices not just the 4S.Apple, sort it out!
-
Ohh cool. İ am going back İOS 4. Welldone apple, good job.
-
NorGod: You are just plain stupid...

All fine here. I had issue with iOS 5 and my 3GS not syncing album art but genius tid me to plug into iTunes hold down power and home until it turned off. Then keep home key held in until it starts re-installing firmware. Then synced it back up. No complaints with OTA update I did over wifi. iPad got multitouch back too.Happy apple customer. With battery life, many people don't seem to be asking themselves, do I use my phone the exact same amount every day, use exactly the same functions??? Are they working in a 3G area when yesterday only could get 2G?Too many factors to assess if it's worse or better.If its flat... Charge it!!!!
-
You need to disable iCloud sync and re-enable it (assuming you wanna use iCloud) same thing happened to me. No big deal.
-
My iPhone battery life improved immensely after the update. I can almost go 2 days without charging now.
-
I have the same issue with my iPhone 4 after upgrading to iOS5 so I am confident this IS a SOFTWARE issue only. My 4 and 4s manage around 24 hours where previously on iOS 4.3 I managed 48 hrs.
