IOS – How to stop iOS 4 from draining the battery of the 2nd gen iPod Touch overnight

batteryiosipod-touch

Every since "upgrading" my 2nd generation iPod Touch to iOS 4, it seems to lose power overnight (when not plugged in). What can I do to fix this? I have tried a restore and that did not work. Seen as a problem in releases iOS 4.0.1, 4.0.2 and 4.1

Best Answer

  1. If you don't need any network activity, I would recommend enabling Airplane Mode overnight.

  2. Failing that, disable bluetooth and/or wifi if they are unnecessary

  3. Disable as much Spotlight search as you can afford to by going to Settings->General->Home Button->Spotlight Search.
