Battery of new iPad3 updated with iOS6 takes longer to charge

My new iPad3 whose battery was alright when it was running on iOS5. But when I updated the OS to 6, it started taking much longer time to recharge. Is there any suggestion on this issue? Thanks in advance. 

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%.

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.

  • After updating to ios 7.1 my iPhone 5s battery *****. It takes longer to charge and shorter to finish.

    3 months back I upgraded from iPhone 4s to 5s and realised 4s is a much better phone. It gave me longer battery life of around 8.30 hrs of usage on 2g and 7 hrs on 3G but 5s was giving me only 7 hours of usage on 2g and 5 hours on 3g but since I've updated it to ios 7.1 my battery ***** even more. It takes longer to charge and shorter to drain. Now I get only 4 hours usage on 2g and somewhat 3hrs roughly on 3G and it takes around 3 hours to charge where awe it used to take only 100 minutes perfectly. I don't know what's wrong with apple. I was a huge apple fan when I had my 4s but now I'm disappointed. But worst thing comes last night, I usually lose around 10% due to my network's pop up messages overnight but last night i lost 37%. When I got up and checked usage it shows me 6 hrs 30 minutes usage but I haven't used my phone since I was sleeping. Hope a new update releases soon to patch this but till that some advices on saving battery would be appreciated, thank you.

    Please be more specific. What have you tried already? Please follow the below steps as described also in another topic by Nathan.
    1. Hard reset hold both buttons until Apple logo appears.
    2. Restore from an iTunes sync and backup.  This made a difference for a lot of peopel, battery life got much better.
    3. Limit push notifications (apps and e-mail accounts - set e.g. e-mail to fetch once an hour) to those you really need.
    4. Limit location services to those you really need, and watch to see if the indicator comes up.
    5. Get the app System Activity Monitor to look for a runaway process that is using a lot of CPU.
    6. Suggestion by others to reset all settings.
    7. Suggestion by others that iCloud may be involved, and to try to turn off some iCloud settings.
    8. Limit or turn off 'background app refresh'.
    9. Add apps back in carefully to identify an offending app that is causing CPU or network activity that kills battery life.
    10 Also make sure that e-mail is fetched (e.g. every hour) or set to manual instead of pushed.
    11 Do you have a good carrier reception? Have you tried to manual set your carrier within your iPhone instead of the 'automatic'?
    12 Have you checked if the timezone is set to manual instead of automatic and see if this makes a difference in battery use?
    In my case it was a bug with an app that caused the battery drain. I also noticed that the use and stand-by time were exactly the same which is ofcourse not correct. This was all caused by this app which was using GPS tracking all the time. Unfortunately an app such as System Activity Monitor did not indicate that in my case but someone posted this solution on a Dutch forum that the previous version of the app 'Scoupy' had a bug and caused this battery drain.
    If you haven't tried every single one of these, please do not post that battery life is terrible.

  • Takes longer to charge via magnetic charger than USB

    I noticed that it takes longer to charge via the magnetic charger than the USB port. Also, with the magnetic, the phone sometimes discharge faster than it's charging.

    Ok but where are you connecting the magnetic cable, are you connecting it to a computer or a wall charger, the magnetic cable has to be connected to a wall charger for it work properly, its the same cable that its in the dock and if you check the manual it does specify to connect it to a wall charger

  • Unhappy with verizon about long distance charges

    Hi I have been very happy with verizon for a very long time, and I always had every problem resolved, the customer service is one of the best there is. But I saw a $38.87 in long distance charge on my bill. Which is impossible because when I first got my cell phone I was never able to make international calls from day one, also I only use calling cards or apps to call international. As always I trust verizon wireless to resolve my issues. So when I called I spoke to BROOK and she was fine at first, but then when I told her that I never added international calling to my plan, she said that this service is given to long time customers. And even tho I did accepted that in fact I did call international, she kept repeating herself to me saying, ''YOU JUST ADMITTED TO ME YOU MADE THE CALL''. Of course I admitted it, I'm not gonna lie. I felt like my mom saying ''you just admitted to me". When I asked to speak to a supervisor, she said I am the supervisor and I can only meet you half way as a courtesy or something like that. I insisted to speak someone higher and finally she put me on hold, I said ok she said ''uhuh'' like I inconvenienced her. I work in customer service, customers can get really rude and frustrating, and even curse you out, but in no way I did any of that(because I know how it feels). The point is that I never added international calling to my plan, and I used a calling card to make every international call. Although the gentleman she transferred me after was more like a person DID NOT resolve my problem I am $19.00 short. I am so upset and even when verizon was charging extra for many months in the past w/o my permission (it was returned after). Even that, did not make me upset because I trusted that verizon will resolve it with no problem. Well now I can't wait until my plan is due on November and cancel my services.

    I am also unhappy with verizon's long distance charges for my cell phone. It's ridiculous that I'm getting charged $6.37 in long distance charges for two months in a row. The first month, I went to the store and they mentioned a call to Canada. I was like "fine, I may have called Canada." The next month, I am absolutely certain that I did not make any international calls; yet I got another charge for $6.37. Now I'm going to have to waste my time on the phone with Verizon for this refund because their website links you to discussion forums instead of providing an option to email customer service to complain about overcharges.

  • Curve 9300 takes long to charge and discharge in 6 hours without use.

    Vodacom South Africa
    curve 9300 6.0 with bundle 2949
    I got the phone in September. About 4 days ago the battery started to discharge even when I didn't use it. It only hold for about 6 hours. It also takes about an hour and 50 min to charge from 10% to full. I did about 3 battery pulls and it didn't help. I switched the battery with another one. It charges normal in the other phone and my phone does the same thing. I'm using the original charger. 
    My apps:
    AccuWeather
    Facebook
    Twitter
    Flashlight
    Google Maps
    Groupon
    Memory Booster
    Opera mini
    Photo Studio
    Telmap5
    TuneWiki
    Vectir Wifi Remote Controle
    Whatsapp
    None of these apps is running.

    I noticed today that the charge stays normal for about 6 hours. Then before 7 hours it drops from around 65% to red. I also have signal problems. It shows the cross that there is no signal and then suddenly its full again.

  • Why am I no longr able to sign in to my Yahoo mail now that I have updated with IOS6?

    Why am I no longer able to sign in to Yahoo mail after updating Ipad2 to IOS6?

    I'm still plugging away at this one.
    Here's what I discovered. If I log onto the LiveBox's admin interface (by ethernet) and enable WPA encryption the PowerBook will ask for the WPA password when I try to log on via Airport, when I enter the password it then says "this network uses access control please contact your administrator". So I go back the LiveBox admin screen and I manually add the PowerBook's MAC address as a permitted user. Then I try Airport again. This time it asks me the password as before then pauses for 15 seconds and says "there was an error joining the network".
    So now I know that the Mac is talking to the router. I know it is getting past the password stage (if I have one set), it seems to be getting past the MAC filtering stage, but then one or other of the boxes refuses to continue the negotiation.
    Looking at other forums I see I'm not the only one with problems on the Livebox (otherwise known as a Sagem 3202). I know the simple solution is a new Belkin or similar but I'm damned if I want to let this little white box defeat me.

  • How long is the new imac update supposed to take?

    I am currently installing the new iMac graphics firmware update, and its taken 35 minutes so far, is this normal? This seems to be a bit long to me, I've been staring at the blue screen with the moving circle and no change. Did anyone else's update take forever?

    I see this on that link:
    Do not shut off the power on your iMac during this update. Loss of power could result in your iMac failing to start up.
    Do you have high speed internet access? If not, it probably shouldn't take 35 minutes.
    From that page also:  This firmware update fixes an issue that in rare cases may cause an iMac to hang during startup or waking from sleep.
    So you were having problems with your iMac before you tried installing the update?

  • New fields update with CRM_ORDER_SAVE BAdI - not working

    Dear Experts,
    I ask your help in connection updating custom generated fields in Opportunity. In the Webclient UI i added a new field to Opportunity - Total Expected Value, and a Currency for it automatically generated.
    The enhancement ID is YEXT00001 and the field name is YYFLD000002 and YYFLD000003 for the currency. I do not added these fields for the opportunity details view, I only want to use them to extend the search criteria for opportunities.

  • New Iphone updated with wrong user

    just got a iphone 5 and i just went to get some apps and some thing poped up and it said new iphone and i went threw and it said to backup on my moms phone i said yes and all her contacts are on the phone and songs.
    how can i get it to say that it is my phone and i get all my contacts back and songs?
    drew hartley , thank you

    So what has been your phone before you get iPhone5?
    If was an iPhone, did you have created a back up before in a computer or iCloud?
    If your phone has been a iPhone and you backed up somewhere, you should sync your device with.
    1. To get the back up from iCloud: In your iPhone 5, open Settings>>iCloud, then sign in with your Apple ID and password. Wait for a while and Voila';
    2.  To get the back up from your PC: plug your device in your pc and open iTunes, then select your device and click restore.
    If you never backed up your old iPhone, I advice you to back up your old iPhone by iCloud. Then you can sign in iCloud in your new iPhone and all contacts, photos, calendars, notes and so on goes to your new iPhone automatically.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • After update combo startup takes longer to load

    Bought new iMac
    Straight out of the box and switch on it says updates
    So I click updates it gives me combo lion update that takes an hour
    The after startup which is slower than when I 1st switched on out of box
    I tried something on the forum page someone had said
    Verify permissions they say that all things on the iMac differ to what they should be so should I repair the permissions or not ? Help

    Since I end up waiting at least 30 seconds to 2 minutes or so for GB to open, I need to figure out if I should just reinstall OS X with the restore disks and leave it at that until a fix arrives... I'd rather not though. Apple, come on, release a patch or some sort of fix for it!
    I did try to recreate the problem by using a FireWire iSight but even after doing that and fixing it, nothing changed. I saw in one thread that some people have GB working correctly for them while others do not, so surely there is something somewhere wreaking havoc with GB. This is really odd.

  • Since the new software update I am no longer able to syn my itunes playlist to my ipod nano.  Everything that has been put online since Nov 2014 is not helping, any suggestions?

    iTunes latest update has now stopped my ability to sync a specified playlist from my iTunes library to my ipod nano.
    All suggestions on line since Novemeber 2014 have not seemed similar to my nano - it is 16gb and very old, not sure what generation.
    The screen on this one is long an rectangle and not a touch screen.  A round disk that you run your thumb around has e menu, forward, backward and play/stop button, hope this helps you know which one I am referring to.
    Also any iTunes help for my device so far has not addressed and update and how to now use my device.

    Okay - let's cut to the chase...
    If the Menu Bar (File, Edit... Help) shown in my screenshot below is not visible, use CTRL+B to display it. Then click on Help/Check for Updates. If one is available, you will be able to select it at this time.
    Note the item at the bottom of the list; About iTunes. Selecting that will show you which version of iTunes you are using.
    An alternative method to display the Menu Bar is click on the box in the top left of your iTunes window...
