IOS – High processor/CPU load on iPhone, draining battery, how to fix

applicationsbatteryiosiphone

My iPhone sometimes gets very hot and drains battery extremely quickly. When I use the app iStat to check processor load, it shows high numbers (above 2, where it is normally 0.5, not sure about the format of those numbers but that is what is reported). It seem to be the equivalent of a computer stuck at 100% CPU load.

Restarting the iPhone and closing all apps does not help. Previously, it went away after a number of restarts, but this time, so far not. Do you know a way, except re-installing, that can fix the iPhone? Any app that can kill all processes?

As others already let clear, Apple doesn't offer any good solution for those issues. They shouldn't exist, Apple would say. But they do.

That said, your best bet is jailbreaking and getting SBSettings to "Free Memory" or some specific app that does it, such as MemTool. I've just installed it on mine through hackyouriphone repo, but you can also find it on http://ispaziorepo.com/cydia/apt/
