Battery draining when not even using

[c613m]

Hey guys,

So this morning I took the phone off the charger at 8am, check my emails quickly, used that app for about 5 minutes. No email accounts are set to push, just manual fetch. So an hour and a half later, I pick up the phone and noticed that the battery was already dropped to 91%... I haven't even used it! What's up with that? On weekends I would seldom need to charge my iPhone 5 since I'm working on the house and barely use the phone during the day. This sudden battery drop worries me. Any tips or any advice to check on what's being used?

I would run it all the way down to zero and then charge it up to 100% without unplugging it. That should help calibrate things.

Settings >power >usage/history should give you the answers. Sometimes an app can drain battery without you knowing. Also, the more things you have auto updating in the background the quicker your power goes.

So Maps seems to have used 25% of the battery... I haven't even opened that at all today. I set my weather to not update through a schedule and only update when I use the phone... I hope this helps because this is ridiculous... I'll report back tomorrow... hopefully it fixes it.

If you don't use latitude or location history turning off features like this should help with maps power use.

Go under map settings, location setting, and uncheck "save location history" you will thank me.
Its not Google now, or GPS turned on, its Maps app trying to save your location at all times in case you want apps like Google+ or Latitude to transmit your location

Ok I did this. Thanks for the suggestion. Will I see previous searches when I pull up navigation? What does it actually store?

Yes, this feature is only to mark your location on the maps, has nothing to do with your search or Nav history, so if you're not a latitude user and don't care about your friends knowing your most current location on the map at all times, you won't be affcted. Also, Google now stays unaffected.
