Bit of a double barrelled question but they are related, for my issue.
Battery Issue: I have iPhone 5 running 6.1.2 and having dreadful battery issues, as many others are from what I've seen in other threads and forums. I have to charge every day and I've gone through all the tips about turning off Siri, Wifi and 3G when not required, push etc, etc. I've done the hard reset after deleting my email accounts then setting them up again but still seeing poor battery life.
As an example, I ensured all apps were cleared from the app tray this afternoon, so no apps running (double checked with a 3rd party app), put the phone to sleep at 37%. After 1 hour when I woke the phone it was down to 33%. That equates to 1% drain every 15 minutes when the phone's sleeping. Therefore, at this rate, I would expect 25 hours in standby. This is almost 90% less than the estimated top-end standby of 225 hours quoted by Apple. I could understand maybe even only getting 50% of the quote but would still be unhappy. But, to only get 10%, makes me really not happy and there doesn't appear to be any word from Apple themselves acknowledging this.
Is there anything else I can do?
This brings me to my second question: Restore I was told in a previous thread that, if I restore, I would have to restore to the latest IOS (6.1.3) but, if I made a backup to iTunes when I first got the phone as new before adding any apps, could I not just restore that backup to try and resolve this battery issue, or doesn't it work like that?
