I put my iPhone 5 in DFU, connected to iTunes and did a clean install of iOS 7.1. Re-downloaded all my apps while connected to iTunes. Now my battery life is great. Did a full charge, 3:30 stand by and the battery showed 100%. After 1 hour of usage my battery showed 96%.
It's really just random. I've done clean installs where my battery life was horrid. I've also done OTA upgrades where my battery life had never been better. Ex. my battery life is consistently 10-15% better than it was on 7.0.6 for the same usage during similar time periods.
Do you mind turning on your contacts for your gmail account to verify you get the same results.
I wasn't expecting that, now I have to find out how to fix this soon, not having my contact is hurting.
I found the problem. The department field of one of my contacts was just the word contractor repeated over and over. I guess in the latest update this caused an issue with the leg nth of that field. As soon as I deleted that contact everything works great now.
That is a jacked up bug that apple still needs to fix.
Thinking about it a bit more I'm guessing the reason why it's like that when you manually turn it off is because as you slide the power off slider the screen dims quite a bit progressively, so when you are at the end and it actually activates the shutdown the screen is quite dim at that point so the spinner that appears while the phone is shutting down remains at that level of dimness (perhaps rather than jumping back to a brighter state, which might be a bit odd/jarring to someone after the screen already dimmed in the process of starting the shutdown).
You have now idea, I was showing houses all weekend and trying to figure out who was sending messages about what house.
What has Apple to do with one of your Gmail contact being corrupted ?
Make no mistake this is a bug. I defend Apple regularly, but this isn't one of those times.
This same contact was on my phone and ipad before the update to 7.1. My keyboard should not have a 7-15 second delay including my lock screen because one of my contacts fields went over the max length. There should be nothing in my contacts that should effect the keyboard.
This actually has nothing to do with GMail. Before figuring out the problem I exported my contacts and imported them into iCloud and toggle contacts ON for iCloud and got the same problem. This is when I decided view the file to look for anything strange and found that one field and figured it was a length issue.
If my code ever blow up like this because of a string length issue, I'd be looking for a new job.
w/ regard to the spotlight crashing bug
I set up my phone as new and within 10mins of restore was having spotlight issues again. I have an open ticket with applecare, though they have no idea what it is. It's super annoying though as I use spotlight to open apps, so every time it crashes it's just as I'm about to tap on the result, and end up opening my weather app which is at that location on my springboard...
Out of curiosity, of the people who are experiencing/have experienced this bug, which model of the phone are you using. I don't recall this issue on my 4S when ios7 was first released. I've only noticed it on my 5C.
