			<description><![CDATA[Are you using Exchange? 6.1.2 is designed only to fix that Exchange bug, and we strongly suspect that there are other communications-related bugs in iOS that cause vast amounts of network traffic and thus drain the battery. Search back in TidBITS on "iOS battery" and you'll see a variety of suggestions for different situations.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I never did upgrade to iOS 6.1.1 so my first upgrade was to iOS 6.1.2.  I never had a problem with my battery life before but now within four hours after unplugging from the charger I am down to less than 25%.  I would say that iOS 6.1.2 did not fix the battery draining bug at all.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In recent versions of the Exchange ActiveSync protocol, mail, calendars, and contacts are all updated at the same time in a single Sync call, so a problem with a calendar event could cause problems getting mail. Thus, it sounds to me like the two support articles are talking about the same thing; just one from the server side and one from the client side.<br><br>[Full disclosure: I work for Microsoft on the Hotmail Calendar team, which supports the EAS protocol; where my general knowledge comes from. I don't work on the Exchange team and don't have any knowledge on this specific issue beyond what I'm reading publicly.]]]></description>
