[QUOTE="Ratsima, post: 1819038, member: 402210"] Well, that's what I did and it was a real PITA. If you noticed, the iPhone was running 12.3, the Public Beta. I decided I'd ditch the beta program and install the normal Public Release, 12.2. This turns out to be much harder to do than it is to say: First I deleted the Public Beta profile. But, to get back to Public Releases you have to wait until the next one. Since 12.2 just came out, it might be a while before 12.3 is released. So, I tried to Restore the iPhone from iTunes. That didn't work: [ATTACH=FULL]29724[/ATTACH] So, I had to put the phone in DFU mode. (That was very difficult because you have to time things exactly right.) That wiped the phone and installed 12.2. From there I tried to Restore from an Encrypted Backup. Sorry, since the iTunes backup was created under 12.3, that didn't work. So, I had to restore from a backup made last July. Needless to say, I had made a lot of changes to the phone since last July. It took many hours to download apps, books, maps, etc. Plus, many settings (like Accessibility) had to be changed along with configuring and re-authenticating many apps. This is an ongoing process as I discover new things that need to be done. Once I did what I could I decided it was time to make new backups. A new Encrypted Backup via iTunes worked fine and was faster than expected. Then I did an iCloud Backup via iTunes. (Hey, I might need it when I'm away from home.) That worked fine and iTunes showed the two backups. Then I went to the phone and decided to enable iCloud Backup there. Much to my surprise it immediately started a new backup. But, that backup failed. ("Some files were unavailable....") The backup had zero bytes. When I went and checked iTunes, the earlier iCloud backup had disappeared. ***? But, as far as battery usage goes, things look better. After a 30 minute cycling workout this morning the phone only lost a few percentage points of battery charge. Previously it would have dropped ten or twenty points. Only time will tell. [/QUOTE]
