Ever since I installed ios7 my battery/memory drains down ridiculously fast. Apps are turned off all the time wifi is not on so it's not searching... WTF ? Any ideas?

Your pants aren't tight enough. Iproducts rely on the compressive energy of your pants to keep the battery power in.
 
Actually, the 4s recharges wireless-ly from the stored energy in your Prius. You do drive a Prius, don't you?


I have a 4s, and read of others having short battery life after upgrading to IOS 7. A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded anyway...and have seen no problem or change in battery life.
 
After the update to 7 on my 4s I had terrible battery life too. Plus more importantly I no longer was able to use wi-fi. After a few weeks of reading on the net for fixes that never worked. I finally came across a post where a guy said to heat the phone with a hair dryer till it went into thermal shut down, then throw it in the fridge for ten minutes. It actually worked and still is working to this day. I'm assuming it re-seats something on the board. Not really hot enough to re-flow solder. Since I did this my battery life has been much better. Apparently this is an extremely common problem because the new iOS 7 runs the processor in the 4s a lot harder than normal because it's designed to run on the new faster iphone5 processor.

Do you use wifi? Is there any chance yours may have the same problem? Might be worth a try either way.

Are you using Bluetooth? If not, turn it off.

I have noticed that Bluetooth gets turned back on with each update that gets pushed to my phone.
 
FWIW my son has a 4S and has had no issues since upgrading.
My wife has a 4 and had battery issues at first. Im not apple tech friendly so I may state this wrong but she reinstalled the old iOS and then re-re-installed the new iOS7 and it solved her issue.

YMMV
