iPhone, Facebook drains the battery here two remedies do-it-yourself

The real problem of the iPhone 5 has been from the beginning the battery life: even without going overboard with the use and turning off push notifications and various, difficult to get through the day. The defect actually dates back to the last previous models, without which Apple has never been able to intervene in an effective manner. So now are private developers to get busy and one of them, by applying Instruments, monitored the activities of its iPhone by (a 4S, for the record) coming to a startling discovery: the real culprit would be the app Facebook.

Mysterious operations. Available via totally free on all systems that run on iOS, iPad included, the app of the popular social network Zuckerberg wakes it from the background every few minutes, operates a few seconds, goes back to sleep for a while 'and so on in an automatic cycle that ends the charge to drain quickly.

The developer author of the discovery, Düvel Sebastian, said a close look at all the myriad operations that directly affect the battery of the iPhone and the most obvious result was that the Facebook app consumes more of the same system processes. Added to this is the sister app Facebook Messenger uses both VoIP and audio, other functions that operate in the background. Result: even with the chat turned off, one app is likely to eat the whole charge of most of the iPad or iPhone by date.

Two remedies do-it-yourselfers. But if the experts are still unable to give a reason for these excesses of consumption, in the specialized blogs have already sprung up ad hoc remedies to overcome (at least partially) to the problem. How do you remember iPhoneHacks, are two options, and both have already been tried in the past: the forced closure of the app after using it (essentially just press the power button until it says "turn off" and then press and hold the Home button for 5-6 seconds) or alternatively totally avoid the Facebook app, reaching the site from the browser as if it were a web page any (possibly creating a web app, that is a shortcut on the Home screen), so as to avoid any possible movement autonomous in background. Not the most comfortable, sure, but better than resorting to Airplane Mode at 8 pm.
