Though Apple\u00a0has been released many updates to iOS 9 after the initial release of the firmware back in September 2015, the iOS devices battery life\u00a0drain issue still appears to be there for many users on a number of iOS devices.<\/p>\n

If\u00a0your iPad, iPhone\u00a0or iPod touch\u2019s\u00a0battery is draining quickly on iOS 9.0.x, 9.1, 9.2 or\u00a09.2.1, then you are not alone. Today BattAussie smartphone battery experts share\u00a0some tips\u00a0to help you\u00a0fix the issues.<\/p>\n

Hard Reboot<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"acer-as07b41-battery-life\"<\/a>When experiencing any issue with an iOS device it\u2019s usually a prudent first move to try and perform a hard reboot on the device to see if that rectifies the issue. It\u2019s essentially the modern iPhone version of \u201cturning it off and back on\u201d. An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch can be put through a hard reboot cycle by pressing and holding down the Home<\/em> and Power<\/em> button together for a period of approximately seven seconds. The device will shut off, then automatically power back on, and when the Apple<\/a> logo appears on the display, let go off the buttons and allow the device to boot up.<\/p>\n

Use Low Power Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s Low Power Mode is unique to iOS 9 and is pretty much provided for this exact issue. iOS will automatically ask if you want to enable Low Power Mode<\/em> when the battery reaches a critical level. This is around the 20% mark. However, if you\u2019re experiencing battery <\/span>problems\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and want to significantly reduce the power usage of the device then it\u2019s possible to manually enter Low Power Mode from within the Settings app.<\/p>\n

Launch the Settings<\/em> app, navigate to Apple a1281 battery<\/a>\u00a0and turn the Low Power Mode<\/em> toggle to the \u201cOn\u201d position. Keep in mind that certain features and functionality are put into a restricted position when Low Power Mode is active.<\/p>\n

Toggle iCloud Keychain<\/strong><\/p>\n

Modern versions of iOS have the iCloud Keychain feature bundled in for a user\u2019s convenience. iCloud Keychain is a feature that keeps passwords and credit card information securely stored and up to date across all devices that are logged in using the same Apple ID. Apple encrypts this information so that it cannot be accessed, even by them.<\/p>\n

However this feature for some reason has been known to cause random battery <\/span>drain<\/span><\/span> issues, and toggling it on and off followed by a reboot has apparently fixed the battery life woes for many.<\/p>\n

To toggle iCloud Keychain on and off, launch the Settings<\/em> app, navigate to iCloud<\/em> and tap on\u00a0Keychain<\/em> option. Turn it off. Reboot. Then turn it back on and see if it fixes the problem for you.<\/p>\n

Clean Install Using iTunes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Extreme problems can sometimes call\u00a0for increasingly extreme solutions. The installation process of a new firmware can occasionally be brought with problems and issues, especially if done via OTA (Over-The-Air) update option, that aren\u2019t immediately apparent. If you updated to any version of iOS 9.x from a previous version\u00a0via OTA update\u00a0method, having Asus a32-f80 batteries<\/a>\u00a0issues, and have tried all of the above tips\u00a0to fix with no avail, then it\u2019s possible that a fresh install via iTunes could provide a welcome reprieve.<\/p>\n

Location Services<\/strong><\/p>\n

Location services can be extremely useful when interacting with apps and software designed to provide functionality based on a GPS position of the device. However, as you might expect, constantly tracking the location of the device and polling the GPS radio can be extremely taxing on the device\u2019s battery. If you\u2019re experiencing battery related issues, then turning Location Services off could be the answer.<\/p>\n

Launch the Settings<\/em> app, navigate to Privacy<\/em>, then select the Location Services<\/em> option. It then can then be toggled on or off at will. Additionally, you can also switch off Location Services individually for apps you don\u2019t use that often.<\/p>\n

Downgrade<\/strong><\/p>\n

If even a clean install of the latest version of iOS 9.x hasn\u2019t helped, then it\u2019s probably best to concede a certain level of defeat and downgrade the firmware on the iOS device to the last available version.<\/p>\n

iOS 9.2\u00a0is being digitally signed by Apple, which means you can downgrade from iOS 9.2.1 back to iOS 9.2\u00a0with minimal fuss. That signing window won\u2019t last for long though, so if you\u2019re going to downgrade, act right now.<\/p>\n

Reset All Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re starting to get a little more extreme now. If you\u2019ve tried pretty much everything to solve your battery problems\u00a0to no avail, then it could be necessary to reset all settings on the device back to the factory defaults.<\/p>\n

This can be achieved by navigating to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings<\/em>. Be warned however, this does exactly as it says on the tin so expect to lose any preferences that have been customized to your individual tastes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
