A Developers fix for battery life on iOS 7

Correct. It's a pain, I know. But that's why it's not really meant for public release.
Eh it's not that bad of a workaround though. It's either take 30 seconds of your time or suffer with horrible battery drain. Take your pick. ^__^
I'm guessing by the next beta or even beta 6 they'll fix the IdentityServices issue.
What about restoring data? Do I have to set everything as new? How do i restore the data? Do I have to set the email account manually?
After restore, my iPhone does not setup the cloud automatically
What is home sharing?
I like iOS 7 but i think this iOS is not created for iPhone 5s below...since updgrading i have to recharge twice a day... I'll try for one more day, otherwise going back to 6.1.4

If you want better battery life, you have to set up as new without loading your backup. You'll have you load your apps and everything else on manually.
Keep in mind this is a beta so it's really not meant for public use.
You would need to set up as new, without backing up any data. This prevents most battery drain/services issues by itself. Then you'd follow the steps here, and continue on with your day.
Well, SOMEONE isn't a starving developer who has a limited supply of disposable cash...and it aint me.
I'm still able to watch my battery drop by a percent every few minutes while just using Taptalk, browsing the web, reading news with Reeder, etc. I've gone back to 6.1.4 for the time being but even I know I'll be back to beta 4 soon, lol

Did you do a clean install?
Great thread I just have a question to you fellow developers out there have you noticed memory leaks in iOS 7? I have a iPod Touch 5g and I usually have 100 MB of inactive memory with very few apps open. On my iPhone 5 I have like 290 MB.

I wouldn't worry about memory unless your getting "LOWMEM" in logs (sometimes Low-Memory-XXXXXX).
Great thread
The iPod touch 5 only has 512MB of RAM.
Finally I install everything as new... When i haven't installed any apps, the battery looks OK. But after installing about 50 apps... The condition is the same like when I do restore from backup. So basically clean installation for me does not help much.
Beta versions aren't meant to have all your apps. They're just meant for developers to test their apps' compatibility on ios 7. So I would cut down on the number of apps you have.
At 65% with only 1 hours and 35 minutes of usage.
What did you do during that usage / how much standby time do you have?
Just over 15 hours. I didn't do much. Just some Taptalk, Safari, and Facebook. On iOS 6, I'd have around 3 hours of usage by 65 percent.

It's a beta, use it and report bugs. Thats what its for.
