iOS4 quickly drains iPod Touch battery

i’m an iphone 3gs user. ever since i updated to IOS4 i have same battery experience. no difference when i was on 3.1.2

@abeolandres not true in all cases. My 32GB (2009 version) lasts around 10-20% longer after the update.

did not experience that yet, though i did notice that there was a difference in the battery life but nothng like urs, My officemates are not complaining either. any apps that you hav left running? i did read somewhere abt a battry issue aftr upgrading 2 ios4, not sure if its from TUAW or somewhere else. Can’t copy & paste the link using a cel fone. O></

I hate the upgrade, not because of the battery but something worst, everything I saved in my apps like my ebooks are all gone, as in empty content as if all apps are newly bought. Everything I saved in my lockbox application gone. Most apps not working anymore, won’t even open! I’m using 3g by the way.. :(

ah.. I thought my speaker dock is the culprit.. why? coz it’s constantly charging my iPod I thought it lessend the lifespan since it’s constantly charging.

My ipt2g is on OS4 too

I’ll try the suggestion downgrade to 3.1.3

too bad for the iPod Touch…

but for me, the iOS4 works well…
I have a 32gb iPhone 3GS :)
I love multitasking :)) lol

I also noticed my battery life became worse. It drains battery even in standby mode. Hope i could downgrade my ipod touch 2G back to 3.1.3.

i upgrade also my itouch 3G 32g batt life is good but some aplication crash 90 % like yuga tech hope will upgrade he he.. and all my photos are gting blury doh..

didnt know na may 2gb version pala ng itouch. ang nasa istore kasi ngayon is 8gb or higher… on a completely different topic, how much po is the 2gb version?
:)

this is apple’s way of saying “Get the newest iphone 4 even though it has reception issues.”

@boy kuripot
basa po kau. 2G nga daw un kay yuga doesnt support multitasking in ios4 environment. how can he left apps running if it doesnt support it in the first place??

I have my iPod Touch 32G (3rd Gen) updated to iOS4 and surpringly battery life seem to have improved 10-20%. I would normally recharge every other day but now I change every 2 days with the same use on a day to day basis… I think you may wanna check if your battery is already worn out?

it seems like some apps with notifications “on” and not yet compatible with ios4 for some reason stays connected with the wifi in frozen state on multitasking. thus considerably draining battery life.

yup! ios4 sucks! my ipod touch 2g battery life is getting worst. I use my ipod as a backup for my android phone for emails and facebooking. 10 minutes lang nga surfing, half agad ang battery meter. Upgrading ios4 was a headache cuz nagka conflict yung usb drivers when using windows vista. I had to look for a macbook to restore the damn thing.

Like i said before with or without multitasking.. Its the “notifications”. Try it turned off n d settings. It worked wonders for me. I dont have to close my apps n multitasking. Even of all my apps ar n the multitaskng

that’s unfair? iOS4 is only compatible with 2nd gen 3rd gen ipod touch? how about for 1st gen?

I forget where I read it but for the Ipodtouch,
IOS4 leaves the wifi on unlike before where once it goes to sleep, it disconnects..

so that may be one of the reasons

i experience also this ios4 since i upgraded my ipod touch 2gen. my battery became worse. how can I restore the original OS of my ipod touch. please help. anybody there, please

I have no problem with ipod touch 2G since i upgraded to OS4 the battery was improved,it takes a week before i recharge it again in a normal use.
