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.

New Release Official 4 3 Update Samsung Galaxy S3 GT I9300 How To Guide

I9300XXUGMK6 an official Android 4.3 update on Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300)
Here comes another Android 4.3 software update for Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) with firmware build numbers I9300XXUGMK6, that has recently released by Samsung. This is the continuation of the previously released 4.3 update I9300XXUGMJ9 that has been postponed due to some several issues. According to its official changelog, this update will bring more improvements to the Galaxy S3 I9300 devices. Some features are already found from the earlier released, including Galaxy Gear support and the new KNOX security apps.
Here’s what appears on Kies about the I9300XXUGMK6 4.3 Update.
  • OS upgrade (android 4.3)
  • Added new feature
  • Compatibility with Galaxy gear
  • Improved performance (Graphics, Multimedia, Bluetooth, etc.)
  • Improved the User Interface and Usability
  • User Interface adjustment (Icon change, widgets, etc.)
  • Security enhancements
  • *You cannot downgrade back to the old software after this new software upgrade due to security reason.
  • Related Reading:Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE N7105T Android 4.3 JB Firmware How To Guide
Important Note:
According to the last part of the changelog that once you took the 4.3 update, it forbids you from downgrading back to the old software update due to security reason. So this means that it’s a one way straight ahead taking the 4.3 update and no returning back again to any old firmware like the 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 versions.
The UGMK6 update is now only available in select European countries but only British Galaxy S3 users are lucky enough to get this update on their unbranded or SIM free Galaxy S3 I9300 others are those with branded devices. All other Galaxy S3 I9300 users around the world who may have not seen this update yet, might still need to wait for a while since the rolled-out is in stages. This update is available through Samsung Kies and over-the-air (OTA software update). But for those advanced users who wants to update now, you might also like to grab the original I9300XXUGMK6 firmware below and update your device in no time without waiting this update from Kies to appear.
