3.1.3 causing battery issues?
Recently Apple did push out iPhoneOS 3.1.3 which should improve “accuracy of reported battery level on iPhone 3GS” along with 2 other fixes.
The jailbreaking-community suspects this release to be made with the intension to close holes for future jailbreaks; the iPhone Dev Team suggests to stay away if possible.
According to Apple’s iPhone Support Forum the update seems to offer more problems than solution. Users are reporting about battery drain, fluctuating battery percentage
my battery was down to 23%, 2 minutes later it reads 44%, another 2 minutes later down to 41% with nothing running
and iPhones becoming very hot.
A forum member posted a possible solution:
1. Reboot the phone (hold Home and Sleep until the Apple logo appears; about 10 seconds).
2. Delete the email account(s), reboot, add them back.
3. Reset Network Settings in the Settings app and reboot.
4. Restore the phone in iTunes.
5. Restore again in iTunes, and this time set up as a new phone.
Doesn’t look good this time, Mr. Jobs.
