Surprise! Another iOS update accused of causing battery drain

2. PhenomFaz posted on 20 Dec 2012, 20:48 16

do these bugs ever stop with iOS!
I mean its older than android and yetit seems like their whole OS is in beta stage! sheesh!
and these supposed updates bring new problems every time they fix old ones...a device like that would be crap for daily use!

... because Android doesn't have a single problem....

16. PhenomFaz posted on 20 Dec 2012, 21:19 13

You're bang on mate.....absolutely right :D
And truly I have seen a very tiny portion of apps having a bit of problem but that's due due to the amateur segment of developers!
Android on its own is perfect....well at least their entire bloody OS isn't in beta :D

First of all android 4.2 has these same problems as stated by this article.
Also I 'm on ios 6 and get great battery life. Most people aren't affected.

Also meocat multitasking on iphone hasn't changed since ios 4. This if anything is just a bug. Apple is inculding more advanced features though and kept good battery life ie navigation etc.

If your going to criticize something for having a problem if its legitimate fine. You can't then turn around and praise something for being perfect when it infact has the same problem. The article even stated it but I doubt you read it. That is hypocritical and proves that your are biased and are looking for faults in other ecosystem and ignore it when the ecosystem you arguing for has the same problem. Your being dishonest and you know it.

GB is more mature than iOS6 for sure. What can be more lagging than the need to do a 5 finger smooch of screen for every small thing ... Windows loves 3 finger salute and iOS loves 5 finger smooch :)

I don't think it's bugs mate, Apple is under intense pressure to make big changes to iOS, and iOS must support multitasking sooner or later.

This could be Apple's attempt to add real multitasking to iOS and they may have found out how hard it is.

5. jan25 posted on 20 Dec 2012, 20:55 8

i wouldn't, Android 4.2 on the Nexus 4 is suffering from battery drain too. although i will laugh at a $600+ phone that isnt as perfect as it claims to be.

Yet another problem after problem arises, but Apple fans and users dont care nor bothered.

6. Ericzhf posted on 20 Dec 2012, 20:57 11

Are you sure?

7. PhoneArenaUser posted on 20 Dec 2012, 21:01 5

Android is on many different smartphones with different battery capacity while iOS is only on few models of iPhone so how can you say that it always have better battery life?

10. bucky posted on 20 Dec 2012, 21:04 4

Bad battery for the iPhone is less than 4 hours screen time with everything on. Good battery for android is 3 hours screen time with everything off and babysitting.

12. PhoneArenaUser posted on 20 Dec 2012, 21:08 10

From where did you get those numbers? Just dreamed up from nowhere?

Ok...I'll mention that to my buddy who had to use my DROID because his i5 died and couldn't make it into the evening when we went to the football game. Thing is, now with the iDevice w/ LTE, if you're in fringe areas (his work is in a fringe area), you CAN'T download an app (or natively) to drop the radio to 3G so it'll stop searching for LTE! On top of that he didn't have his special lightning cord, (he left it at home) so NO way to charge it on the fly. This happened twice already for him, so now he is getting used to putting it in Airplane mode when he gets down to 10% or so, so he's not left with a dead phone. Two more words...DROID DOES :-)

dou you even know how powerful the battery is on for example the Galaxy Note II ? since you are in this site now search for 'Samsung Galaxy Note II ' and you will commit suicide

9. GoBears posted on 20 Dec 2012, 21:02 8

Haha that's because it's so boring you don't want to use it.

13. johnnh posted on 20 Dec 2012, 21:09 13

"Issues"

34. neutralguy posted on 21 Dec 2012, 03:38 1

i don't want to explain my point for it will ruin the joke.

But okay, for you. "worm" for a reason that when a worm is found on an apple, it is assumed that it is rotting :(

21. neutralguy posted on 20 Dec 2012, 21:53 7

lasted you 12 hours and for heavy usage good for 2 days? wut?

36. joaolx posted on 21 Dec 2012, 06:13 0

Why the hell would i lie? It sometimes lasts a little more than 12 hours.

38. joaolx posted on 21 Dec 2012, 06:18 0

I don't know why I have so many thumbs down because i have no need to lie. But, whatever, this website has always be full of fandroids. I am also a fandroids and apple fan, i just hate to see you guys hating one thing.

my acer gets me about 14

27. jan25 posted on 20 Dec 2012, 23:15 1

that's because it is still Jellybean treated with some extra features. just because you don't use those features doesn't mean they are gimmicky.

23. uncskeet posted on 20 Dec 2012, 21:56 0

Typo in the beginning. I meant it also drain worse from 6 to 6.0.1.
