You can't do anything, the problem is inherent within iOS8.
It isn't anything to worry about, it is just sloppy QC by the software team.
What you should do is enjoy your phone and don't sweat it watching the battery meter drop each percent then worrying when it skips 1. It is almost meaningless and just a gauge at best. Also you are not the only one, it is by design apparently and happens to everyone. Nothing you should or can do about it. If it really worries you to no end, turn off the percent and just use the battery gauge to see where you stand. iOS will popup a warning when you get to 20% and let you know to start looking for an electrical outlet or PC USB port. 🙂
All of the above, haha. But since I've been using 8.1.2 for a long period, that's what I'm comparing to
interesting info. seems folks stated 8.1.2 was the worst of all them. I never updated to 8.1.2 but the others up to 8.1.1 have been excellent on iP6. 8.1.3 seems about the same as 8.1.1 for me so far. Strange 8.1.3 is worse for you. maybe a reset all settings or update via iTunes is in order to get it better for you.
Was it brilliant before, or quite bad? Some folks go from good battery life to bad, and some go from bad to good. The vast majority seem to notice no difference. I'm on my third cycle with 8.1.3 and have achieved the worst battery life yet on my 6+. I've been at home all day tethered to WiFi and have been browsing on Safari almost 100%. By rights I should have had my best figures to date, but I only managed 9 hrs 23 mins of usage....on a 6 Plus. I regularly got almost 12 hours with 8.1.1
Thanks sbailey
I turned off my percentage in ip6
but u didn't given me the answer
This battery percentage issue is with u also or not
thanks again
Thanks. It worked. However, when I update my apps from iTunes to iPhone/iPad, I still get update available badge. I thought they fixed this.
I am always updating through iTunes, feel like that gives me a cleaner update. But I will let it run for a few days and see if it improves, as one member advised me to do in an earlier post.
Both. Also the landscape bug seems to affect some 3rd party apps as well like Screens. I can't believe Apple doesn't fix this ****. I seriously want the Apple from before 2007 when everything was rock solid and excellent quality. Now it's the new Microsoft...
See above in bold. I cannot say for 100% it happens to me as I don't really watch each percent tick off. But it appears from other posts that is quite normal operation.
Please check please check
I m requesting u
seeit goes down from 71 to 69 or not
Please check
regards
I have had the iphone for a little over a year. Six months ago I turned off the percentage and never looked back. I can tell approximately how much battery life is used based in the length of the bar. I don't need battery percentage to the thousandths of a decimal point. If this is driving you crazy you might want to take a few deep breaths.
Is anybody else getting progressively worse battery life with each iOS8 update? Out of the box my 6+ gave me almost 12 hours of usage. Updating to 8.1.1 didn't change this, but 8.1.2 robbed me of approx 1.5 hours of usage, and now with 8.1.3 I'm consistently down one further hour. So I've gone from getting almost 12 hours of usage to getting 9.5.
Sure I'm going to try installing iOS via iTunes and setting up as a new phone but why is this happening? When I first got my 6+ the old iPhone 5 backup created no problems, so why is my backup possibly/allegedly causing problems now? It's an iPhone 6+ iOS8 backup going onto an iPhone 6+ running iOS8. Surely if the problem was going to occur then it would have occurred straight out of the box when I first got my 6+?
I find this infuriating. Just give me a damned functional iOS and stop passing out updates which cause me HASSLE!

No I can't say that I have. Battery life on 8.1.3 is on par for me to 8.1.2; which was on par to 8.1.1.
One potential issue for you is you seem to drain your battery completely 100% every day. So that of course uses up cycles and decreases the battery life. (Not that there is anything wrong with that as you purchased a phone to use it) but a battery looses capacity every cycle so potentially it will be less and less as time goes on if you do nothing different. I dont suspect the battery is loosing 1 hr of capacity due to a charge cycle so dont get me wrong. But on the flip side I also don't believe each iOS update is causing an hour of less battery either.
Completely opposite from you, I have had consistent battery life from out of box til today with 8, 8.0.2, 8.1, 8.1.1 and 8.1.3. As are others (most folks I suspect). So if it were an inherent iOS issue everyone would be effected the way I see it and that is simply not the case.
Really wish you could pinpoint what it going on for 100% but my gut is its not iOS.
I wouldn't expect the battery in my two month old iPhone to deteriorate to the tune of over two hours' usage and it's funny how these dips in battery life occur immediately after an iOS update.
I haven't installed any new apps since my iPhone 5 days and I just can't fathom what the issue is. One of the benefits of me getting another iPhone versus branching out into Android is the iCloud backups. I love the ease with which I can turn my new phone into my old phone...
Really though, I just don't understand what the problem can be. I did an iOS update just like everyone else and no issues have resulted from it apart from a reduced battery life. No other bugs and no overheating. Having to go through a clean install and not using my backup is a PITA. I have a ton of apps, a ton of videos and a ton of photos. Not to mention documents etc. It will take me hours to save all this stuff manually, then reload it manually without using my backup....and all with no guarantee that things will be any better afterwards.
Yeah in that case a backup restore is the only real option to get your stuff back. What I have seen over the years is doing a backup restore of your data followed by a reset all settings typically solves any issues that were induced by the restore of old data from an old iOS version. If there is lots of data and stuff you want to keep thats about all you can do.
what do you think about 3rd party keyboard stability? is it better on 8.1.3 or 8.2 betas? or just the same?
Since I don't have 25 posts, can someone edit this:
"- Control Center still refuses to open sometimes on the lock screen on the 6 Plus"
To add "and 5S" to the end? Because I've experienced this several times now on my 5S.
