IPad 1 battery issues, NOT rleated to iOS 5.0.1

OK, here's the deal:
I did the update to 5.0.1 and battery life had been fine.  Just rcently I learned that I was supposed to periodically drain my battery all the way down and charge to full to keep it "in shape."  Well, I did that and now my battery seems to drain rather fast...about 1% every six minutes in real light usage (using one app only) and also seems to drain in standby.  ***!?!?!?!?
Seriously, any help would be much appreciated -- I've done everything the Apple techs are likely to suggest: turned off Locator, Wi-Fi, etc.

    hi. my ipad battery is not charging well. max at around 20%. what do i need to do to get it working again?

    You may need to recalibrate the battery. See link below.
    Are you using the wall charger?
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    My IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, however many apps require iOS 6.0 or later what can I do?
    Also, since updating to 5.1.1 Safari frequently crashes.  Help!!!!!!

    5.1.1. is the end of the line for the original iPad. You can't go beyond that. As for the safari crashes, is it tied to specific websites? Have you tried clearing the cache and history?

  • My Ipad battery does not charge

    Hi everyone,
    Hope some of you can help me out. My IPad battery gone flat and it does not charge. I tried different sockets, different chargers, tried to plug in to pc and charge it but to no avail. Could be that it needs new battery? I this Ipad for 2 years now.

    May need a new battery.
    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.

  • My iPad battery is not charging why ?

    In the last 3 weeks my MBP 2009 battery stopped charging ,then a day after my MB whitewash battery also stopped charging even though health is normal cell count 99 and now iPad 2 Battery stopped charging .
    The only explanation is Apple has sent a bug that turn off charging to get me to buy new products , however I refused to yield to this kind of trickery.
    Like most business these days they in it for milking as much as possible
    and make products that are difficult to repair and just throw them and buy a new one society so what are we going to do with all these broken things and then materials become more expensive it is madness .

    I called them Apple and they said many Japanese were reporting that the cold weather was preventing charging , i warmed thre roomand so managed to charge the iPad and the MBP that stated that Battery needs servicing,the system profiler now states that it is in good condition !
    And my MB white that had a dead battery ( putting that between my legs and maybe revive it ) ,and i put in a Black MB battery which has also charged .
    How eveer the news that older computers runnimg Mavs reported battery issues this may cause people to buy a new battery like I did during the earthquake and then was given a free batteryand took the old one in.
    I have took apart old iBooks and some Batteries inside the pack have a charge, I  tried to get the good ones from a couple of packs and make one good one but did not charge.

  • I notice a lot of you started having battery issues after updating to iOS 6....

    I'm not saying this could be the reason but I'm about 98% sure it has something to do with it. I have an iPhone 4S and when I first got it, I remember the display was very very bright... i would set it on low and it was still pretty bright. Battery consumption was horrible, I could literally sit there stare at the screen and see the battery percentage drop. Then when some kind of update was released about a month later iOS 4.XX something along the lines... that suppose to fix the issue. I updated my phone and it was fixed. However, it was fixed because my phone got more dimmed.. i could max out the brightness and it was still no where near the brightness of before. And this cause my battery life to be better. However after I updated to iOS 6 the brightness came back, and my battery is rapidly decreasing like it did before. So i'm guessing this had something to do with the battery issues. I'm hope this will help you all. to make your battery last longer, dim your phone, better for your eyes too

    I, on the other hand, had no brightness issues on the 4S after upgrading to iOS 6, and no change in (good) battery life.  If could be something else, an app or background process that is less efficient with iOS 6?  Could be anything.

  • My ipad battery drains much faster after iOS 7 upgrade

    my ipad battery drains 4x faster after ios7 upgrade.....how do I fix this? 

    Dig into your settings. iOS7 defaults a lot of stuff on that you may not need. Such as tons of notifications, background app updates, background app refresh. Turn extra stuff off and see if that helps.

  • Freeze/Battery issues after upgrade to iOS 8.0.2

    Since upgrading my 3rd Gen iPad WiFi to iOS 8.0.2 I have been experiencing freezes where nothing works. I can't open apps or do anything. If I hold the on/off button down eventually it comes back to life.  Second issue is battery life.  Last night I closed my smart cover and made sure the display was off.  Battery at the time was 62%. This morning I opened the iPad smart cover and the battery was down too 23%.  This has happened a number of time over the past week or so. I have Blue Tooth and Location Services off.
    Both of these issues are new after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2.  No problems whatsoever prior to that.
    Not sure if I'm putting this in the correct category or not.
    Is there a way to wipe the iPad clean and reinstall everything from scratch or is my iPad just shot?  Thanks in advance.

    Same sort of issues here on my ipad3. iOS 8 turned it from a nice slick device into a jerky, laggy pain. Tried all the reset options and it's still pretty crap.
    NIce one apple, I'm changing to a galaxy tab after you broke my iPad!

  • HT4623 iPhone 4 (2011) very sluggish and battery issues after upgrading to iOS 7

    Hi,
    I am experiencing crazy sluggishness in my GSM iPhone 4 (2011 model) after recently upgradig to iOS 7.0.2 from 6.1.3. Phone's freezing every few seconds and when it does, you can't do any activitiy, keyboard will not respond, videos will freeze etc.
    Top of it, the battery is drying up like nuts. It used to work for more than 24 hrs with same settings earlier, now hardly 7-8 hrs !!! ..... I turned off everything like background-app refresh, wireless, 3G, bunch of other things, infact not even keeping any apps running in background while not using, I immediately kill it as soon as I am done using it.
    Am very badly stuck, biggest mistake of my life that I ugpraded to iOS 7
    - Is anyone experiencing similar issues ?
    - Is there any way I can go back to previous version ... is Apple still signing iOS 6.1.3 ? I don't have shsh blob backup of previous version.
    Any thought is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rajiv

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    Also try a Reset all settings

    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
    If no joy...
    1)  Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

Befor that my iPod worked for days in stand-by in couple in listening music for 1 or 2 hours per day, but now is really a disaster, any ideas?

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon.  The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A."  The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC.  Do NOT use an iPhone charger.  Do NOT use an iPod charger.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter..
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.
    I'm not saying that you don't have a problem.  However, I am saying that we don't know.

  • HT4623 IPad 2 will not upgrade to IOS.70, keeps saying I am not connected to WIFI when it is connected.  Even tried turning of Advast VPN

    I cannot upgrade my IPad 2 with IOS.70, the download appeared to be complete but while it was verifing a "not connected to WIFI" message appeared yet IPad was connected and working.  Not sure what is wrong, even tried to turn off Advast VPN thinking that was the issue but cannot complete upgrade.

    try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. Also try resetting your network settings under Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

  • IPad Battery issues

    This may not be related but I did the most recent update (iOS 6.1) on my iPad (3rd Gen 32GB Wifi) last week and I am all of a sudden having massive battery drain. (iPad is 7 months old)
    I fully charged my iPad on Friday and hardly used it Friday night or Saturday, when I did come to use it Saturday evening the battery was dead. It was charged Sunday and was on 4% come Monday morning, charged again and the same thing on Tuesday morning.
    This is a sudden problem hence why I was wondering if it was related to the update.
    Thanks

    Backup iPad and setup as new. Do not restore from backup until battery is thoroughly tested.
