IOS – Iphone 4S 8.1.1 Battery Problem

batteryiosiphone

What else can I do to make my iPhone 4S work for as long as possible?

I have done all the "standard" battery saving techniques recommended on most sites, like:

  • turn off background app refresh, automatic updates
  • lower brightness all the way / disable auto brightness
  • keep bluetooth and cellular Off always. Rarely use WiFi.
  • No dynamic backgrounds.

The battery is still dying way too quickly.
My Battery Usage indicates that the Home and Lock Screen are using 30% of the battery. How is that possible? What is it doing??

I have the same problem. Max life is 12 hours and very very little use. It goes down by 5% per hour!!!

Apple said battery fine and I should only expect 10 to 12 hrs. Back several iOS ago I could get well over 24 hours.

Sounds like the want to force us to get new iPhones 6.
