iOS 8.1.2 Battery Life Drainage Problem: Cause & Cure

December 28, 2014 By Denise Ehrlich 25 Comments

The new out of the box iOS 8.1.2. brings news to all of us as some profoundly required bug fixes for the iPhone, iPad and the iPod touch. The emblematic warm welcoming which typically goes hand in hand with the arrival of new iOS isn’t exactly so warm this time around.

New Bugs Arise from a Fix

The planned idea behind the new iOS 8.1.2 was to clear up a portion of the remaining bug issues in the iOS 8.0 however the issue that such a large number of individuals are having is that not only does the new framework fail to clear up those issues yet, amazingly enough, it is actually adding newly established issues’ afterward.

A figurehead of these issues is the defective battery life which has all the earmarks of being tormenting a few clients in the midst of the new release. The basic purpose behind this article is to help you to resolve these issues with a clean fix.

iOS 8.1.2. Not the Cure-all, After-all

As of late, not all that much to me following 8.1.1 update, a new update was released with aims of removing some issues that had been sicking 8.0. The most recent in the update parade is iOS 8.1.2, which is a negligible bug fix this time around and the size is around 20mb for most of the iPhone and iPad clients. A ringtone issue is the core element, which became visible with the arrival of 8.1.1.

Despite the fact that the this most recent update is about iOS 8.1.2, a huge part of the issues are concerned around the issues that the most recent update had cleared out. The issues that are getting knock to the front of the line are issues which with respect to the battery life, the Wi-Fi and generally awful performance all in all. The aforesaid battery life is the thing that has been eating at the good people the most.

How Do We Resolve the Battery Life Problem?

The aim in this segment is to get rid of the current battery issues that you are encountering with the new iOS 8.1.2. This article is a guide of sorts however it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that you already have upgraded most recent iOS in the wishes of the guaranteed fixes. So let’s give it a spin…

What App is the Source of the battery drain?

Beginning with a proactive attitude is key, if you need discover what upsets the battery and the undeniable is you might want to fix that also, the first thing on the rundown is to get a good handle on your apps. A standard issue with third party applications have a scandalous reputation to drain the life right from the batteries. At whatever time that you open and utilize an application, the battery will drain in a generally snappy style. There are particular times when the bug influences the application in going total Jeckyl and Hyde. So Which one of these is the main driver of the draining battery life?

The main thing that ought to be on your mind is configuring the battery life use with the utensil that Apple gave in the new iOS 8.1.2 update. To get the tool running, shoot over to settings->general->usage->battery usage to check precisely what application has the greatest hand in the battery life drainage, by investigating the application that has emptied the most in the previous 24 hrs, also the most recent week too. When you have found the application that is destroying the battery life, then once you have that data you can withdraw from that application when the power is out at all times. This will cut off the background activity from your iPhone or iPad.

There are several other reasons of battery drainage like background App refreshes or too much auto-brightness.

Hopefully Just a Passing Hiccup

Being that this is Apple, this little hiccup ought to just be a hiccup and the issues ought to subside in a relative period of time. This article ought to have pointed you in the right course and with that, you are now operating an iPhone or an iPad that is up to snuff.

About Denise Ehrlich

Denise would describe herself as one more of an experience witness than a journalist. Soon after graduating, Denise worked as a journalist during the presidential campaign of Senior US Senator John McCain. Since then, much has changed, and Denise found herself gravitating towards world news.

This reads like it is a poor translation from Chinese by a non-English speaker.

For example, “…some issues that had been sicking 8.0”.

It also is an almost verbatim copy of a similar article (also with incredibly poor syntax and grammar) on another website.

Mandy: You either desperately need courses in writing (like at the grade school level) or journalism where they teach you not to copy someone else’s work.

Where is the editor?????

  I am so very glad I’m not the only one who was frustrated by this article.

    I agree. Really bad writing. I literally thought it was a non-English writer, and the article was translated by computer.

      i bet the author doesn’t wipe either…
Karen Clever

I am very sorry about this, but I had an incredibly difficult time deciphering the sentence structure of much of this article. Has Ms. Sanger been a journalist for some time? Has she had experience writing for the public? Has anyone read and edited this article for clarity and grammar. Either I am losing my mind or this is an incredibly poorly written article. I would love to hear what other readers have to say.
MoodyRiviera

Wow. This piece is supposedly written by a professional writer? Really? Some of the worst writing ever. Here’s just one example…I defy anyone to make sense out of this sentence: “Despite the fact that the this most recent update is about iOS 8.1.2, a huge part of the issues are concerned around the issues that the most recent update had cleared out.” Huh?

  I hate to be mean at all, but I entirely agree. I was certain while reading this article that its author was not a native English speaker.

Mandy needs to learn: 1. How to write. 2. to write in English!
Dimitri_K

I hope Mandy is also interested in learning how to write English. I am surprised that a liberal arts graduate of University of Pennsylvania can’t write English more proficiently than this article demonstrates. I have no interest in reading any more of her articles until she learns how to write reasonably well.

Mandy, if you lent your name to this article written by someone else, surely you see the damage to your reputation as a journalist. Shame on Capital Berg for allowing such a poorly written article to be published.
Poopy McPoopersen

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this sounded like a bad google translation.

Could Mandy be a non-native English speaker? That would make the most sense… maybe an exchange student from Germany or the Netherlands?

  Maybe, but that does not explain the almost verbatim structure of the older article on the other website.
  
  I know this is Sunday, but where is the editor? Someone needs to get fired over this.

quick glance makes it look like a direct copy of this article

I may have misread time/sate items though so may be wrong.
comments on other one are a lot older though

I am curious — what is Mandy’s first language? It certainly is not English.
Appledystopia

Yeah, it seems like Mandy offshored the article, or might not even exist. I have noticed on social media, a lot of people from developing nations use caucasian American women as their avatar and persona. I guess, the notion is that men will be more likely to read and follow, as they are thinking with the small head instead of the big one.

Also, there are two reasons why people think an iOS upgrade has ruined their battery life. The first is that Bluetooth is often turned on and left on after an update. The second is that they just need to calibrate the battery on their iOS device.

Apple has occasional introduced battery draining bugs, but 8.1.2 is pretty solid. It was also a very small release — 15MB. It is possible, but unlikely, that such a small and targeted release would introduce battery-draining bugs. It hasn’t. I have used 8.1.2 for over a week now. There aren’t battery life issues.
Tony Walton

The advice about checking the battery usage is sound, but no word on how to shut down the offending apps. With regard to the Engrish: Another article on the same site has the title “The new “Ballistic method” would make the Mar’s trip cheaper”.

I am not sure how this article made it in to the wild but it might be the most poorly written thing I’ve ever read on the internet. It’s worse than reading a Chinese instruction manual.

There’s a whole service market for offshoring writing. As a web entrepreneur myself, I get hit up with these offers to have someone else write my content. People in India have a fairly good grasp of English — it is one of the official languages. Mandy didn’t write this. These guys are using a Caucasian face to mask offshored content. They can get this stuff for a fraction of the price. You get what you pay for…

I have confirmed that the author profile images shown on this website have been taken from other websites and they do not represent the authors on this site.

A simple reverse google image search shows that this image belongs to someone else: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meganpfischer and was likely just ripped/stolen for this site.

“Home and Lock Screen” is using 20% and “Safari” is using 31%. I mostly use Chrome. Interesting.

I think it is more impressive that they got this article listed in the top results on Google news and the company/news agency doesn’t even exist.. Any one even try to check the physical address of this outlet LOL. A sucker is born every 2 seconds (look it up, that’s a fact!)
Tee Glass

This is the most incoherent, shallow and poorly written piece of garbage I have ever read. Is this supposed to be a joke? If this is real I suggest you fire this hack and hire a proof reader. Have a nice day, as I will never visit this poor excuse of a site again.

I am convinced this entirely loquacious perflugamarole is entirely the falseness of artificial knowledge-beings and whole heartedly of the family computer generated. All your base are belong to us!
