iPhone Major battery drainage in iOS 6 beta 3

Not seeing that issue here. Only advice is to check the developer forums, maybe others there have a solution.

 

Only advice I can give is to set up as new. I restored from a backup on 2/3 betas and by 3 I decided to try and set up as new to see if it fixed it. Actually getting better battery life than I was on 5.1.1.

 

I used to run beta 3 on my 4S.


100% at bedtime, 92% in the morning, 78% after light internet use and listening to music on a 45 minute train ride.

Got to work at 9:30am and noticed the iPhone was hot. By 11am I got the 10% battery warning, and the phone was never used from 9:30am onward.

Battery was fully depleted and the phone switched off by 11:15am.

 

This sounds like the same issue as when the 4s first came out. My girlfriends phone randomly started doing this last month. I ended up deleting her email accounts then adding them back on. Seemed to be an issue with gmail because it was fine once I did that.

 

There are always people complaining about battery drain after updating iOS, betas or not. Sometimes a restore will legitimately help, but for the most part I think you all are batterychondriacs.

 

When your phone is sitting on your desk, is warm to the touch despite not being used in 90 minutes, and the battery goes from 78% to 10%, that's not normal. Of course, it's beta software, but the previous two betas did not cause this behaviour.

 

Definitely. I have said this before. Battery was just amazing in Beta1 and Beta2. Now it's just like iOS 5

 

You guys act like you're using publicly released software and that this stuff shouldn't be happening. This is a beta, not public software.

 

1. Beta 1 expired.
2. iOS 6 is in beta.
3. Battery issues are to be somewhat expected.
4. Go back to iOS 5.1.1 if you can't handle the battery issues.

 

I have had loads of battery issues on my 4S with ios 6 and they all seem to relate to iCloud somehow. Did fresh restore etc none of it really seems to make any difference.

 

Beta 3 battery is better than 5.1.1, at least for standby

 

The dev forum got to the bottom of remember its a beta.Though waaaay more stable then iOS5 beta last year.Looks like Apple reeled in a few daemon battery killers

 

Didn't do it on my phone but have been running 6 on both my iPad 2 and 3 since dev release and no battery issues to report here

 

My iPhone was running great on battery until I was just at a festival where it also then drained really quickly with hardly any usage . I charged twice and the same happened

Now I'm home its fine again. I'm wondering if this is dependant on the cell/transmitter you are connected to?

At the festival I only had 2g with GPRS data coverage, at home I have 2g gprs with home WiFi.

It could be 2g GPRS data draining it ?
