mine has very good battery
Thanks all.
Well to report, the battery life is much better after that discharge and full recharge for about 8 hours. However, it's still draining quicker than I'd like.
I am hoping that another of the same today will sort it out completely.
why wouldnt your phone be plugged in overnight?
Just curious if you have restored any backup from previous iPhone. Thx
Inspiring... I wonder if the OP thought of that...
Sorry yes should have clarified. Thats not the point for me. I dont have it plugged in nor do i usually due to my outlet situation. More interested in why there was usage accumulated when it shld have been all standby.
Is anyone having issues with about a 20% battery drain overnight. Should be no more than 5% usually.
Overnight battery drain of 5%? Whaaaaat?!?!?
More like 25-50%... DO NOT DISTURB turns the vibrate and ringer off, not the phone nor data connection. LOL
Well icloud does its backup in the middle of the night so if it was the firs tbackup from the iphone 5 or you had some major changes that needed to be backed up or some sort of network congestion, slowing down the icloud backup, it would drain the battery.
I'm partially confused about this not charging overnight situation. Since my very first cell phone, its always been standard procedure to plug it in overnight to charge, same with laptops, bluetooth headsets, pretty much anything that i need to have a full battery throughout the day. Are there really people who do not charge their phones over night? Not being a dick, just seriously wondering.
Mine discharges very fast in use. I initially thought it was a battery calibration issue, because the device is new.
But after a few cycles the problem remains.
Yesterday I left the house on a full charge, but a few hours of moderate use the percentage dived down and by 7PM the phone was dead.
The GPS/Navigating mode in Maps seems to be a major culprit. But other moderate uses also tear through the battery very fast indeed.
There's a number of threads on the Apple forums with people seeing the same thing.
Given the lack of coverage of this issue, perhaps its not affecting all users. If it is not all users. Then it's either a quirk in the software/settings, or a manufacturing defect.
A fix that works for everyone would prove that it's not a hardware defect.
