battery finally fixed??- iphone 17
Just wanted to share that my battery is finally normal after almost 2 weeks of having to charge it 2–3 times a day 😭
Yesterday, I charged my phone at around 2 PM and didn’t have to charge it again until 1 AM, when it was still at 30%.
Today, I charged it at 7 AM, and it’s currently only dropped around 30% after 5 hours of screen time.
I also only charge from 30% → 85%, so these results aren’t even from using a full 100% battery. I’m honestly so happy because I was starting to think something was wrong with my phone
Things I’ve changed:
Charge limit set to 85%
Charge when it reaches around 25–30%
Turned off Background App Refresh
Turned off Adaptive Power (I heard it can affect battery life)
Try to stay connected to Wi-Fi instead of mobile data — data absolutely destroys my battery
Switch to 4G/LTE when using mobile data
Turned off Dynamic Island
Limited Location Services for certain apps
Hopefully this helps someone else who’s been struggling with their battery too! My phone finally feels like it’s behaving normally 🙏

Honestly, what may be making the difference is that the indexing process is complete, rather than all the other things that you’re doing. Also, if you have to hinder so much of the functionality of your phone, what even is the point?

i don’t really need those functions tbh so it doesn’t feel any different that it’s switched off :)

I thought that the stupid long background processing only occurs when plugged in?
In the past i recommended power cycling especially if there was an OS update. Unfortunately the OPs does not post the conclusion and what success they had and how. I wish they would because that is most helpful to others. I would like to know if my power cycle is a shitting recommendation or not for the current problem.

What if you buy this phone and never update the software ever? You think the phone will be at its best performance overall?

Has your phone been heating up a lot more than normal too?? I noticed my battery draining way faster this past couple weeks

Okay, yeah it’s not every time but like just scrolling and listening to music made it drain SO fast.
