How to Fix iOS 7 1 Battery Problems After Update

Apple’s iOS 7.1 is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models and has gained lots of updates after it is released. The awesome iOS 7.1 features you have to try out right now. Although the latest iOS version offers several improvements and refinements, iOS 7.1 has brought about a big battery life issue, for many Apple users complained their iPhones and iPads with iOS 7.1 installed are out of juice rapidly. One user reported in the Apple forum that his iPhone suffered a drain of up to 50% in an hour when the phone is in intense use. The reduction in battery life after iOS 7.1 update seems to be the biggest problem. Here we collect several solutions to fix the iOS 7.1 poor battery problems.

Step 1:Test Your iPhone or iPad Battery after iOS 7.1 Update

To know if your device’s battery life is reduced dramatically in iOS 7.1, you can go to Settings > General > Usage and record the usage and standby time. Lock your phone and wait for 5 minutes and then go back to check the Usage data. If the usage time decreases by 1 minute and the standby time increases by 5 minutes, your battery performs normally. However, if the usage time rises by over 1 minute, it indicates your phone is not in the standard sleep mode and drains more juice.

Step 2: Adjust Screen Brightness to Reduce Battery Drain

The screen brightness is a big culprit when it comes to battery consumption. If you set your handset to full blast, it will drain the power quickly. It is suggested to set 75% with auto-brightness feature. So, in your iOS 7.1, you can adjust the brightness by tapping Settings > Wallpaper & Brightness.

Step 3: Turn Off Location Service in iOS 7.1 to Fix Battery Problem

The available Location service in iOS 7.1 also triggers the poor battery problem. To solve iOS 7.1 battery issue, you can disable the feature by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.

Step 4: Turn Off Background Updates in iOS 7.1

The Background updates, such as Facebook, Twitter, drain lots of juice in the iOS 7.1 software. Therefore, if you want to improve poor battery in iOS 7.1, you can disable background updates by going to Settings > General > Background App Refresh.

Step 5: Disable Bluetooth to Save Power in iOS 7.1

The Bluetooth service also makes battery drain faster in iOS 7.1. In hence, you can flick up from the home screen to easily turn off Bluetooth in the quick settings menu.

Step 6: Use to Fully Charge Your Phone Monthly

Apple recommends users charge phones to fully capacity and then use it until the phone is out of juice completely. You can do this per month to extend the maximum battery.

Step 7: Do Hard Reset to Improve Battery Life

You also can reboot your phone to improve the battery life for your iPhone 5S, 5 or 4S and iPad devices. Hold the home and power buttons of your iPhones for ten seconds until it restarts. This reboot can shut off any potential power-hungry background tasks, but it will not erase any data.

Guide How to root the Android Phones Procedure Here

Android Root - All Questions answered here

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|All Infos are collected From all over the Internet |
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I ll post here all info about Rooting Android phones. how to upgrade rooted rom. overall everything about Android Phones rooting.

You never know
The good thing about having root is you can go back if you want. The same is not true of not having root. We do not know what steps Google/Tmobile will take to rid the end users of root in the future. For all we know the next OTA will remove the keys that allows the RC29 downgrade method to work and you could be stuck on a non rooted G1 forever. If you have root and for some reason it does not work for you there is always the option of going back.

What Does Root Give Me?

Full control over your system
Ability to alter system files. You can replace many parts of the "Android Core" with this including:
- Themes
- Core apps (maps, calendar, clock etc)
- Recovery image
- Bootloader
- Toolbox (linux binary that lets you execute simple linux commands like "ls") can be replaced with Busybox (slightly better option)
- Boot images
- Add linux binaries
Run special apps that need more control over the system
- SuperUser (lets you approve or deny the use of root access to any program)
- Task Manager For Root (Lets you kill apps that you otherwise could not kill)
- Tether apps (like the one found at [android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com])
Backup your system
- You can make a folder on your sdcard and backup all of your .apk files to your sdcard (helps if an author decides to "upgrade" you to a version that requires you to pay to use the version you just had)
Relocate your (browser/maps/market) cache to your /sdcard
Relocate your installed applications to your /sdcard
Reboot your phone from the terminal app easily (su reboot )

What Do I Lose Having Root

The ability to accept OTA updates (well, you can but you would lose root, so its been made so they get denied)
The sense that someone else controls your phone
The need to sit in an Android chat channel asking how to get root
The need for a stupid useless "File Manager" that lets you see filenames but almost nothing else.
The ability to have a knowledgeable conversation with a T-Mobile rep about your phone. (Ask one of them to spell root for you)

Take note though that this tutorial is being suitable only for the S3 model number I9305 that is being powered by the mentioned ROM, so don’t try to complete the steps from bellow for a similar device.
It is important to have a rooted handset because who knows when you will need access to its internal system. On a rooted OS you can install complex apps that requires root access in order to work properly (such as CWM recovery and some backup and restore tools), you can remove in-built programs in order to improve the speeds, optimize and customize the system and so on. The best part is that once the root access is granted you can start updating your Galaxy S3 with the latest custom ROMs, which are being perfect for those who want to try something different than the classic or default Jelly Bean experience.
In a few words, if you want to properly use your smartphone, gaining root access is a must have. Actually, this will be the first step to make if you want to power up the Galaxy S3 performances, so why not to try the same? The root procedure can be easily performed, the present step by step guide being all that you need. You have all the aspects needed explained and detailed below, so let’s get started. Anyway, do read all the following lines or else you can end up in bricking your phone, and I know that you don’t want that to happen.Above, we have seen which the advantages that come with a root operation are. Well, now let’s see if there are negative aspects too. As usual, when we are talking about unofficial procedures, there are some things that must be revealed. Related to our purpose, the most relevant one is referring to your Samsung Galaxy S3 I9305 warranty. By trying to root your Galaxy S3 that runs the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXBMA3 firmware you will make changes into the internal system of your device. This means that the warranty will be void. This aspect can’t be avoided, so if you are not sure that you can safely complete this guide, maybe it will be better to stop going any further.
Also, a backup is strongly recommended even though it is unlikely to lose your personal info while trying to root the Galaxy S3 by using this step by step guide. But if anything bad happens, you will have to wipe the system for fixing things up, so as a precaution take your time and backup the SGS3 data before going any further. You can use our backup and restore guides (search through our how to section) for learning how to save almost everything from your phone (contacts list, call logs, internet settings, calendar info, market apps, EFS, text messages and so on), so you have nothing to worry about.
Now, as this is an unofficial operation, you have to apply the pre requisites that are being explained during the following list. Then, you can safely begin the root procedure that can be applied on any Samsung Galaxy S3 GT I9305 that is being powered by the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXBMA3 software.

You will need to use a Windows running computer or notebook; on the same you will download and install some tools.
The Galaxy S3 and its USB cable must be near you.
All the security programs that are running on your phone and computer must be deactivated.
The handset must be fully charged; or if there is more than 60% power left you can skip this step.
Enable the USB debugging option on your device (from here: “Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging”).
Apply this tutorial only if you own the Samsung Galaxy S3 model number GT I9305. Also remember that this root procedure is suitable only with the Android 4.1.2 XXBMA3 firmware.
