Did it fix the problem it had with the whole random shut off? with the iPhone 5 ? does anyone know what I am talking about?
 
Like the battery says 100 percent but once you click on to record a video or turn on the flash light than it will shut off randomly saying it has no battery left.
 
My wife's iphone 5 does that too only it happens at about 30 or 40%. Hope it gets fixed as she is getting annoyed and I have to hear her complain about it ;-)
 
Have honestly never seen anything like this on my 5 running iOS 6 - 7.1. Sounds like a faulty phone??
 
It happened after updating to iOS 7.0.4
That is what caused it to randomly shut off and says I need to charge and I already restore as new and did all of that and still no fix.
 
Despite it being rather odd, it seems that for a lot of people who started experiencing this when upgrading to some version of iOS 7 it somehow ended up being a hardware battery issue of some sort. Might need to take it to Apple and explain what's happening so that they can take a look at it.
 
Have you calibrated the battery?

I did everything and still no fix and I believe it's the OS reading the Battery Voltage incorrect like a bug. Well it's not hardware because it's just strange how it happened exactly when it was updated to iOS 7.0.4 and I have restore it as new about 6 times already.

It can potentially be hardware-related and it's just that iOS 7 or some versions are more sensitive to various flaws/fluctuations that exist in the hardware/battery or are getting worse over time.
