iPhone 5 user with all latest updates in beta and apps. I've got all my apps fully closed and most extra stuff off and this week my battery is bombing super quickly, plus I'm noticing a spinning wheel next to my LTE and/or wifi indicator. Even when all apps are closed. Don't know if this is related or not, but trying to source out the culprit of my sudden battery drain.

Like I unplugged my phone with a full 100% charge and went for a 1hr run just now. I used Spotify for music and Nike Running to track distance, and I'm now at 21% from 100% in an hour. I'd like to stress that this only began earlier this week.

Hi Dozens,

Quite a few people have had battery issues and resetting the iPhone fixes it, but the degree of reset necessary seems to vary. The minimum reset necessary is to "Reset Network Settings" under Settings > General > Reset. Progressively from there people have had to:

Reset all Settings
Erase and Reset all Settings and restore from Backup
Erase and Reset all Settings and not restore from Backup - requiring you to set up your phone as new and let it download all your contacts, photos, mail, etc. again by logging into your accounts.

There's no one app or setting that seems to be causing it, so there's no easy fix or app to avoid in most cases. Let me know if this answers your question 🙂

Max.
