iPod touch found a fix for massive battery drainage issue after iOS4 update

[citizenzen]

I see little drainage overnight on sleep and I can go days without recharging. Thanks.

I'm with you. In fact, my new 4G seems to hold a charge better than my previous model (which I unfortunately sent through the wash).

Never had this issue with any of my 3 iPod touches, 1G, 2G and 3G. My network hasn't changed for years and the encryption was always WPA2. Both the 2G and 3G were on iOS 4. I have to call BS on this because lots of my friends have iPod touches on iOS 4 and none of them have problems.

The problem is real.

There are over 1200 posts by people on Apples forum discussing the battery drain issue.

As mentioned in the post above mine, it is NOT BS. There are plenty of reports. I too was experiencing the issue and it was resolved by changing a network settings on the device and rebooting it.

Not everybody experiences it. Those who have resolved it have done so in a variety of methods. The symptom (dramatic battery drain) is the same, but the solution seems to vary.

I have WEP and it works fine for me. I am using a westell router from 2004 which is as solid as a rock and I am not giving it up. The reason I have WEP is because I still want to use the internet with my Nintendo DS and the DS does not support WPA or higher.

I do not have the battery drain issue, the only thing I have push notifications on for is one texting app. I don't use push notifications for mail. I prefer to read my mail at my computer. I have location services on.
