iOS upgrade at 6pm (to 4.2)
Discussion
Is anyone else's device draining its own battery. I have a 2nd Gen Touch and ever since the previous update (from 3.3 to 4.o IIRC. Still the same problem after 4.2. I need to switch Airplane Mode on or the battery drains within a few hours. Of course Apple dont want to know except to offer me 10% off a Touch or iPad!!

Battery life for me has been poor. Down to 6 hours. Easily got over 10 hours before
Mine too ![frown](/inc/images/frown.gif)
I'm not finding it that much different, if the battery is better I'd rather go back. Bloody printing was the main thing I wanted, to print out all my notes and such directly would have been a godsend.

Battery life on mine has been dire since the 'update', just wiped it to 'as new' and setting it all up from scratch again.
Same here. And it's not because I'm running apps in the background. Even with everything closed it will eat battery overnight by a significant factor over the pre 4.2.1 release. Some people seem to think it's the 'find my ipad' function, but I had that working before anyway through mobile me.

Yup, it does! I'd love to find a quicker solution but haven't as yet. It seems that the restore process from a previous version of IOS carries across settings that hammer the battery whereas installing afresh doesn't.
Wipe it last thing at night and let it sync while you sleep and it's not *that* bad.

So is that Reset>Erase all content and settings?Wipe it last thing at night and let it sync while you sleep and it's not *that* bad.

Not sure, mine's a 3GS and each major upgrade has been a pain in terms of battery life. It might only be certain configurations that are affected, I can only say what mine does ![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
If you're restoring it as an 'as new' iPhone, will it go back to the old battery problems if your the sync it with an old back up? Or are you manually installing all the apps individually?![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
