Thought this might be worth a mention...
For over a week now my 3 month old iPhone's battery has been draining at a rate of more than 10% per hour, regardless of usage.
I removed the eBay app 4 hours ago and I'm now sat at 95%
I'm not sure of the exact reasoning why this particular app may have caused such dramatic battery drain. I anybody out there does know how to fix the app to prevent it from this I'd be very interested to know.
Here's a little background which may help anyone else out there solve the problem:
It was just 1 week ago when my iPhone battery decided to function on par with my 12 year old Nokia's.
I did the usual google searches and removed pretty much all the apps I'd installed over the last 2 months as well as changing all my phone setting as advised by the masses.
No change!
I recently recalled that I had been receiving SMS messages from eBay informing me of various item updates. A result I guess of my recent change in location where I am frequently travelling in and out of various free WiFi spots.
As the eBay app was one of the very first apps I'd installed I never considered it to be the cause of my sudden battery problem.
I don't fully understand why removing the app has immediately resolved my problem, as all my phone internet settings and the like have been disabled for the last week. I can only assume that the eBay app has been 'trying' to operate regardless of having no internet connection.
If anyone has knowledge of this situation I'd be very grateful as I am sure that the same reasoning could apply to many other apps out there.
Hope this helps.
All I did was install the app. Are you saying it has nothing to do with SMS?
