iOS 9.3.1 Officially released

[MaxSmarties]

I've pretty much got all location services off, or only active "while using app" on stuff that requires it (1 or 2), no push notifications either. My screen is 3/4 up to max, but it always has been. I hate a dark screen. Also, no app auto. updates.

I'm going to do the big "drain-then-charge" routine tomorrow and see if it helps at all...although I still think that went the way of the covered wagon.

We'll see. I do hope it gets better. I've never had to put an iPhone on a charger at my desk before I left work for the day since I had my 3s. :straight-face:

A calibration cycle, if needed, won't do much for battery life.
A software update shouldn't change battery life by much, so there's probably somethings wrong in your current iOS installation or a misbehaving app.
Your only chance is to restore as new an install apps again from the App Store

Let us know how the "drain-then-charge" works out for you.
I did that and surprisingly my battery life got much better. When I first heard about this method I was also skeptical, but to my surprise...it works

Well I'd rather have a root canal than do a "restore as new" & have to jack with installing all my apps again...so I hope the drain & charge dealio works.

Ok...I really don't know if it was the "drain-then-charge" method that worked, or whether it was just the folders and such having a chance to "settle" after the update, but my battery life seems to have improved to where it was previously...or at least close. I'm a happier camper!

Thanks for the post update Terry. It's kinda weird that this method actually works. I'm still trying to determine how this works after a couple of years of doing it. Strange.

Wow, I'm not having any problems with the new iOS 9.3.1 update. I'm using my Verizon 6s Plus. Have you tried a reboot?

It seem to be working fine right now after a reboot.

A hard reset usually fixes that. Sometimes it may take doing it several times. You might also bring them up using Assistive Touch. Maybe after the first time that way, then it'll work. Worth a try.

Thanks but I just did a fresh installed and it seemed to be working pretty well now.
