I have real bad battery life as well just as most are saying where it goes from 100 to like 60 within a hour or two of doing just calls texts and apps, nothing heavy or long.
I just now tried disabling app refresh and every other thing mentioned on this thread.
I am curious if it makes a difference that I upgraded to iOS7 from iOS6 and didn't do a fresh clean install.
Could it be that people who are getting good or better than before did a fresh clean install?
I CAN do that but would rather try the changes first and will know tomorrow if they make a difference or not, if they do great, if not I will try a clean install. I just wish I wouldn't lose all my text.
So always setup as new iPhone and manually install apps?
Day 2, everything is still turned off (automatic updates, etc). Phone died with usage of LESS than 3 hours. I think the final tally was 2 hours and 52 min.
At this point I've drained the battery a few times. 'Reset all settings' a few times, and my battery continues to drain at lightning speed.
I know it's a beta, but many people are reporting good battery life! So if the beta had a battery bug why isn't it being experience by everyone across the board? Very odd.
Not sure what else I could turn off at this point. I will say that 'resetting all settings' did help. I noticed the battery last a little longer when I did that. But only about an hour longer. Nothing groundbreaking.
I hope they fix the issue for those who want to keep app refresh on, although it only covers weather and stocks right?
I have an iPhone 4S
Did an *upgrade* from 6 to 7 on Thursday and i've been suffering with terrible battery life since. It was going through about 20% an hour even if it was barely used.
This morning, I did a *restore* of 7 and its fixed all my issues. In fact, battery life seems better than 6 now but will monitor over the next few days.
Dont forget to turn off background updates and bluetooth.
Go back to iOS 6 then. Problem solved. I'm sure beta 2 will be better.

I'm definitely seeing improvements my first hour this morning not having done a hard clean restore but following the other tips on here to turn off app refresh.
I'm draining about 11% this first hour which I suppose is normal considering I've been doing something or another on it since I unplugged it. Right?
