Battery drying up after IOS 6.0.1 upgrade in iPad 3

Somebody please help...
My iPad 3 battery is drying up fast after the IOS 6.0.1 upgrade.
In a matter of half an hour the battery has gone down by 10% which is really surprising and sad. Mine is a wifi model and without even playing games or any other battery eating graphics, this is now acting crazy even if I do normal web browsing.
This iPad is just a day old...yes I took this one yesterday...and by now only Apple broke my heart...Apple should come up with a new update..
Is anyone out here got this same issues?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

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.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

No 3G connection on sprint network after IOS 7.0.2 upgrade. Any fixes?

Are there any know fixes for no longer having 3G connectivity on the Sprint network after IOS 7.0.2 upgrade? Seems like the newest 7.0.3 update does not fix this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Where in the world is the iTunes Radio icon on iOS 7. Just upgraded my iPad 4 & iPhone 5 and I can't seem to find this on either.

I'd say that darn stupid. The whole world can access iTunes Radio via Apple TV and the laptop, but apple had to restrict this to the US for IOS 7 for iPad & iPhone.

IPad mini battery draining quick after ios 6.1.1 update

Anyone having battery problems when they updated to ios 6.1.1 ? My iPad mini battery drains quicker than usual

1. Try a reset
2. Backup and restore

After IOS 5.0.1 upgrade - Battery drain from 100% down to 78% the following day

I had charged my iphone 4S battery to 100% and my ipad battery to 100% also: both upgrade to 5.0.1, I had plugged it out and I had left it on stand by before I go bed. The following morning I noticed iphone 4S battery down to 78% and my ipad battery down to 99%. Surprised with iPhone 4S battery drain so quickly and where is coming from? I had to re-charged it again thro car charger. Happy with iPad 2 battery.
On iPhone 4S I had turned off all notifications accept Messages, EirText Pro, WhatsApp and Tango . The Location Services is switch to off competely. I have gmail account setting to push to off and manually get the emails. iCloud switch to off.
Is there any advised on the battery issue or is Apple to issue another upgrade 5.0.2 to solved the battery on iPhone 4S?

After two days trying out the problem with my iPhone 4s battery - I had "reset all setting", set up WiFi again and disable all location completely, change the notification list. My Gmail account setting to push to off and manually get the emails. iCloud switch tooff.
I had drain the battery completely until iPhone is dead as requested - I had it off for about ten minutes before re charge fully for overnight. I noticed battery had drain rapidly during day if I use messages and emails.
The next day I had re-charged fully to 100%, then plugged it out and I had left it on stand by before I go bed. The following morning I noticed iphone 4S battery down to 84% the same.
It hadn’t makes any differences or am I missing something…

Bluetooth keyboard mapping issues with iPad (3rd gen) after iOS 6.1.2 upgrade

Others may have figured this out more readily than I did, but since I did not find a post on this topic, I decided I would provide this information.
After upgrading my iPad "3" to iOS 6.1.2, my bluetooth keyboard mapping was a bit off. Hitting most keys provided the desired result but not all.
Typing \ would result in ] for example. Typing shift + 2 would result in " rather than the expected (and marked) @.
To fix this I tried turning Bluetooth off and on, etc. No joy.
FinaIly, I went into "Settings," selected "Bluetooth," selected "Apple Wireless Keyboard," clicked on "Forget this Device."
I then powered off the iPad and the bluetooth keyboard. Next, I powered on the iPad and keyboard and went back into "Settings" where I paired the keyboard with the iPad again. Everything then worked as desired.
It's possible, that you may not need to go to the trouble of powering off and on the iPad and the keyboard. Simply "forgetting" the device and then pairing the keyboard with the iPad again may suffice.

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. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. 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.

VPN no longer working after iOS 8.0.2 upgrade

Hello, after the upgrade to iOS 8.0.2 we have some problems with VPN.
The connection runs always stable and we don't change anything on our infrastructure.
But since the upgrade the IPads/Phones always show the notification "could not connect the server"or else.
This could not be true. The server is available from other clients (not ios). We test it with Wlan and 3G like always before.
I heard that we should delete the VPN profile and create it new on the ipad but it don't solve the problem.
We use IPSEK with IKEv1 and a PSK.
Are there any changes on the ios VPN client??!
I hope you can help me.
THX

Yes, same problem here. Tested on both 8.0 and 8.0.2. VPN will connect but will not pass traffic from the idevice into the network. I am able to ping the device from inside of my network to its VPN IP address. However, I am not able to get to any internal resources from the device. I have done some of the troubleshooting that is posted above with no success. I have rebooted the device, reset network settings, and I have reset the entire device. I'm testing on an iPhone 5 and an iPad2. I also have an iPhone 4s here that is still on IOS 7 that has a working VPN and can connect to all internal resources as normal. I contacted Apple support yesterday and after speaking with 2-3 people, all of whom acted like this was the first VPN issue they had ever heard about, I was told that a "Senior Support Agent" would contact me back. Right now I have 5 users affected by this issue. Those 5 people will have new Android devices before the End of the day. I have sent an email to the other 60+ IOS users instructing them NOT to update their device until the VPN issue is resolved. I will post any findings here including the phone number and extension of the Apple Support Personnel that I spoke with yesterday if I do not get contacted in a timely fashion. I can understand that a mistake has been made, but this issue is wide-spread and needs to be addressed.

What is wrong with wifi after iOS 6 update on the new iPad ?

Since I upgraded to iOS 6 my iPad ***** at connecting to Wi- Fi. I have been using iPads since the original launch and I currently own the 3rd gen iPad. Since the upgrade to iOS 6.0 the performance of Wi-Fi is terrible. My iPad often cannot find networks that were working less an hour earlier. The only resolution to this issue that i have found is to consistent is to power off the iPad for a few minutes and try again. Sometime I have to do this 3-4 times to get Wi-Fi working again. I have seen other reports of similar problems in web forums and in tech news. What is Apple doing to resolve these issues? What is the expected timeline for a resolution?

This is an iPad user to user forum and Apple doesn't read. So we have no way of knowing when an update to iOS 6 will be released.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Battery life greatly decreased after ios 5.0.1 update on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S

Really disappointing considering my iPad 2 battery life used to be great, lasting up to a week with no recharge necessary. Now my iPad battery life drops 1% every few minutes of casual use.
My iPhone 4S battery life under ios 5.0 used to be decent and could hold the charge well when idle only losing 1% every few hours as long as it was just sleeping. Now I am losing 10 - 15% every few hours when it is just sleeping. When I surf the net, I lose 1% each minute! This is with pretty much every battery wasting feature turned off except Siri.
I'm not sure how Apple managed to exacerbate a problem affecting tens of millions of people around the world with a fix that they've had weeks to test. I mean they could've just emailed me and asked me to test it before they released it to the public, I could've told you within a few minutes that it didn't work.
Apple consistenly have problems with each new iPhone release. They just can't seem to get it 100% right. The camera, antenna and speed have vastly improved over the iPhone 4, but arguably the most important feature has taken a nose dive in quality. I can't believe they marketed this phone as having IMPROVED battery life? I don't think one person will agree that that is an accurate statement.

Do you have wifi syncing turned on? Is your itunes always open?
There is a glitch with the iPad where, as long and anytime iTunes is open, it'll sync...like once an hour or some such rate.
Originally the wifi syncing was only supposed to take place if the device is plugged into power, but that's not the case. If I have my iTunes open my iPad will try to sync almost continuously.
So check your wifi sync and iTunes settings (my iTunes used to be set to open automatically when the device is connected, I had to change it to only open when I do it manually because in the course of an evening's surfing my iPad opened my iTunes and started to sync three different times until I turned it off)
If you have iCloud syncing enabled that may also be contributing to your battery issues. I don't sync over iCloud, I tried it but after it ate all my contacts, I stopped using it. However, if the same glitch is present, the device trying to continually sync even when not plugged into power, that could also be part of your drain.

Problem battery iPhone 4 after ios 6.1.2

Problem battery descharge after actualitation ios 6.1.2

I too have the same problem. I updated a 4S 16GB to 6.1.0>6.1.1>6.1.2 and the phone is often saying no service. iPhone 5 on same network with same update works.
We connected the 4s to iTunes and clicked restore so iTunes would download full 6.1.2 update and install to the handset and its much much better but it's not completely fixed the issue.
It's 100% only happened since 6.1.2 update
We went to Genius Bar and its 3 months since Warrenty expired so they wanted £139 GBP to replace handset as they could see 6.1.2 had broken handset. I didn't feel we should pay for apples mistake and left the store.

Battery discharging rapidly after ios 7.1 upgrade

I upgraded IPHONE 5 to IOS 7.1 and now battery is getting discharged fast-need to recharge twice a day.
Is Apple coming out with further upgrade patch to resolve issue?

ref Skydiver 119 comment: No computer just an iPad. I am not interested in iTunes.
iPad is locked after the download and supposedly during installation while recharging batt.
I can leave it plugged in and wait?
I did manage, finally, to shut down by holding down both controls.
But on replugging in for a charge, the same iTunes icon and plug-in symbol appears.
Truly frustrating.

Iphone 5s battery drains fast after ios 7.1 update.

Am I the only one who seems to be experiencing this? My iphone 5S battery seem to drain much faster than usual, and charge longer. I heard that the new update is supposed to increase battery life, and read comparison threads regarding other iphones that are capable of a much better battery life than mine.
I've had my phone for 3 months, never have dropped it once or anything of the sort, if that matters. My battery drains to 50% within an hour or so after intense use on the lowest level of brightness, and I seem to lose about 5-7 percents when on standby for 5 hours or so. Is this normal? Is it perhaps due to the fact that I am mostly using 3g, and applications that require more processing such as tumblr (graphics and gifs) as well safari? I'm just worried that my battery may be draining to quick, despite the update which's supposed to make it much better according to many people.
Thanks.

Me too.
I went from plugging in to charge at the end of the night, around 11pm, to barely getting through a workday with very light use. With less than 10 hrs of standby and maybe 30 minutes with the screen even on I am rocking 15% battery life. I'm also connected to wifi whenever at home or in the office, which accounts for over 9 hours of the standby time.
I know people are suggesting turn off features... but eff that, 5 days ago I'd get through an entire day without any issue, under much heavier useage. I don't want to have to turn on bluetooth everytime I get in my car and back off when I get out, I just want it to work when I turn the car on... I don't want to manually check for emails, I want it to tell me when an email comes.

Why my ipad sounds come and go and it is so low,and the battery draining quickly after ios 7

What can i do for my problem?

Sorry there are some typos above, but you should be able to figure out what I'm asking. Let me know if you have tha same problem, know how to fix it, or know if apple is aware of the problem and is adressing it in a future update.
