any solution to this yet? My battery is terrible after updating
Maybe the just released 6.1.1 update will fix this.
any solution to this yet? My battery is terrible after updating
I fixed mine.( Iphone 5 not 4 or 4S but it could work on yours)
After i tried 2 times restore of 6.1 and setup as new, the battery was still awful, but i tried something else ; I made " Erase all content and settings" and after that i have installed an old backup ... I don't know how or way, but the battery problem was solved .
I hope this can help others.
I was also lucky and got those results while only on wifi yesterday. LTE/3G is where my battery dips heavily. Seems to be random days too. Sometimes I get good results, sometimes bad. Overall I'm satisfied though.
My battery was fine until today. Today something weird happened. I had %39 left (iPhone5, 6.1) . I received a call from a friend. 15 seconds after I answered the phone suddenly the phone turned itself off. I tried to turn it back on but it did not. Instead it told me to connect to charge. I came home plugged it in and then it turned on. Then I took out the cable and now im using it normally i have %30 left.
Why do you think this happened ?
Anyone else experienced a similar situation ?
Outside it is minus 5 celsius. So a bit cold while I was on call.

For the ones with terrible battery life,
If you didn't try this before, do this and monitor your battery life (iOS 6.1),
1. Reset your settings (Any battery %)
2. Drain your battery until 0% (I mean, let it turn off by itself and wait about 30m~1hr off)
3. Recharge your phone until 100% (Until it appears the plugged in 100%)
4. Monitor your battery life
I hope it helps,
You will probably see some improvement,

They 'disappear' like that if you do a hard reset (hold home & power buttons until it switches off).
Mine's gone back to 6.0 levels; currently 37%, 4h39 usage, 1d10h standby, i.e. I can go back to 2 day charge again.
The exchange remove and re-add helped, but it still wasn't right. The only thing I've done since is to reboot it after my home router wasn't playing ball connecting it..

Oh, I've just learnt something new
didn't know about that. Thanks.----------
Do you think I could have a faulty battery looking at those stats or is it a iOS 6.1 issue!?

That's pretty low, did you try restoring and setting up as new? Try that and if it's still the same then head over to an apple store and let them know, you could have a faulty battery.
A lot better after 6.1.1 on my 4S.
2h 14m usage
8h 26m standby
with 78% left.
Every time you respring your device you need to fully charge your phone. then you'll have your stats back.

It's doing ok now, before I was jail broken and it wouldn't show my usage. So last night I restored and now it's showing (haven't charged since last night!!!):

Since you've already tried restoring and setting up as new, I'd def. take it to an apple store.
