Heating and battery issues  for iPad 3

My iPad gets really hot. The battery takes up to 7-10 hours to charge and it's loosing battery faster than my buddies iPad 2. We used them at the same rate for a test. His was at 56% and mine was at 50%. Sometimes much worse than that.  Like I said it gets extremely hot. And the battery...well it *****. I once put it on the charger over night and it was at about 85% I am very disappointed in this iPad. I have come to expect much more from Apple.

Are you just ranting, or do you have a question?
Btw, the issues you describe have been discussed dozens of times already.

  • MBP08 Running Vista 32-bit Heat and Battery Issues

    Hi,
    I am a new mac user and have just finished installing Vista Home edition through bootcamp on my new macbook pro. First concern I found was the excessive running temperature (after about 10 mins I was cooking my legs) this has probably already been brought up before but I was wondering whether anyone can bring me up to speed on any possible solutions/fixes?
    Also, vista seems to have a hunger for battery lifek, again anything I should know? If the problem persists, I think I am going to opt out of using boot camp altogether.
    One last thing, is there any performance difference when installing XP? I don;t mind what OS i use, I'd just like the practicality of windows on my mac.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry I did not see that you specified what MBP you had in your signature.
    Anyways: In windows your battery gets drained a little quicker because windows can only work with the external video card (9600 M GT), so you can compare it with running in High Performance all the time.
    Windows XP is a little faster then Windows Vista (32 bit) because XP uses less resources. 32-bit systems are always limited to 3.3 GB of RAM, so your Vista is not using all of the 4GB RAM you have on your MBP. You can consider installing Windows Vista 64 bit or Windows XP instead, you will have more RAM and therefore a faster computer.
    Note that Leopard is not really a 32 bit system, it also has a 64 bit library (and can handle up to 6GB RAM). The hardware in your MBP is fully 64 bit and can handle up to 8 GB RAM. Snow Leopard is going to be a 64 bit system. (and can theoretically handle up to 128 GB of RAM)
    I have no answer for you for the heat issues... probably a driver problem everyone is struggling with. Time for a Bootcamp version 2.2...

  • Macbook mutliple heat and battery issues!

    My MacBook Pro 17" runs so hot I can't hold it, when running with anything OTHER than the lowest screen brightness. CPU is running at half and it still shoots up in heat!
    Annoyed now that it has gone through 2 batteries and both have expanded/stopped working after less than 100 cycles.
    I have no idea what to do about this... I need this Mac for my Uni work but I can't use it if it's going to keep doing this it's ludicrous.
    Hope you can help!

    So yeah, I called AppleCare and reset my PRAM (as I have done before). To be honest, they weren't that helpful. Everything continues to go wrong on this machine and APPLE refuses to acknowledge my difficulties with it. What gives? And why can't there be any help or assistance with this machine. This will definitely be the last Rev A I will ever purchase... EVER. I thought I could deal with it, but I can't.
    The fan continues to start running about 5 minutes after starting up. I have less than two hours of battery life after calibrating the crap out of it. I reset my PRAM and do everything that Apple tells me to do, ENOUGH. I have had it. Any thoughts or suggestions would greatly be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

  • MacBook Heat and Battery Issues

    Okay my story started on Tuesday night when I began hearing buzzing coming from my power brick. I thought to myself, no big deal, I will just go and take it to the Apple Store and have them check it out because of some of the whining reports. Than I began noticing on Wednesday that my computer was getting hotter quicker than normal. After 5 minutes of being on the fan would come on my MacBook... after five minutes from hitting the power button. This is only from running Mail, iChat, and Safari.
    Now, Friday. I decided to run my MacBook only from the battery and with Bluetooth off, screen half down, only running Safari with 96% battery left, it says that I only have under two hours of batter life left. What gives? Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there something wrong with my machine? A week ago, when I first got it the machine said nearly four hours of battery life. What the heck? Yes, I did calibrate it. Help would be appreciated here. Thanks in advance.

  • Forget the battery issue for a moment,

    I think the battery issue will be fixed, I think there are many reasons for it, I'm not going to speculate. What I would like to know is if you can forget the battery issue for a moment, What do you think of the 4S itself, the camera, mirroring onto apple tv etc...have you been happy with the phone and its functions and if it didn't have a battery issue right now would you reccomend it? I'm thinking about buying two of them and that is a substantial investment, just wondering if it's everything its cracked up to be...Thanks!

    Yeah it's a good phone.  It's my first iPhone.  I came from a Droid Bionic, so I am use to no battery life.  I usually charge it at my desk at work and it last all night until I get back to work.  I listen to music on my car, so it's tied to the USB input to my car, so I don't really have an issue with the battery.
    The camera is really good.  For a point and click, it's fast and the pictures are clear.  They only thing I run into, which is on every phone camera is smudges on the lense.
    It took a lot of getting use to going from the Bionic 4.3" screen to the 3.5" screen.
    I don't have the Aple TV set up, so I can't answer that.
    What I like about Apple products?  They work.  Very simply, they just work.

  • Will the protective skins and Apple case for ipad interfere the reception?

    Will the protective skins for the ipad (especially on the back) and apple case for ipad, interfere the reception performance on both WIFI and 3G?
    Thanks

    I have a case (apple) but no skin and I have had no problem with wifi connectivity when using it. Can't speak to 3G as my iPad is wifi only.
    Hope this helps!

  • IPhone 5S Getting Heated and Battery Drain issue

    From Past 2 Days , my iPhone is been getting heated and the battery drain is 1% per minute.
    Earlier When i used to put it on standby it used to be only a drop by 1-2 % through out night. Now it has gone down to -35% to 40% drain.
    I have tried
    -Resetting all settings
    - Restoring to fresh new iPhone
    -let my battery down to 0 and then charge it to 100% again
    But Nothing Helped, i am out of the country for work and i visit an apple store here.
    Any Suggestions, How do i Fix it?

    I have a VERY similar issue to extremecoder...
    Iphone 5s 16gb (purchased from Apple Online U.K. on 8th December 2013) was fine until the last two days onwards. I am now getting incredibly quick battery drain. The image is a screenshot taken this morning. Phone was charged to 100% last night and used for an hour or so, with battery level on 50%. I then switched off overnight as I always do.
    Turned it back on again this morning and was at 48%!
    Now look at it.    Do I have a case here for a replacement phone?
    P.S. Location services, bluetooth etc all off as they always are. Nothing has changed at all in my usage habits with the phone.

  • Battery, heat, and ringer issues

    I recently purchased the Iphone 4s.. this is my first iphone
    I did the update that Apple sent out to help the battery and it seems like it worse then before the update??  My phone has been off the charger for 45 minutes, I sent 1 text message, and had 1 phone call.  The percentage is now at 87.  It the last 2 minutes i have watched it go down 2%?  Is this normal?  Also, the phone gets REALLY hot...
    If not, what do I do now??
    Also, I keep missing phone calls because I don't hear the phone ring... but the ringer is all the way up..
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

    We've got the same issues, the BBM contacts went, now the BB won't charge ... we've tried all ways to get it to charge ... typically it's just over a month old so we can't get a full refund ... we are on here trying to find out what we need to do as we can't obtain a telephone number for BB customer services nor an email address only a tweet address which I haven't downloaded onto my handset.  So am stuck!!! Any and all advice very gratefully received as seriously peeved with BB models now.  My first BB was fantastic ... but all newer models have had problems ... think BB needs to ensure that all techy problems are fully ironed out prior to launching their new BB handset!
    1. Connect your Z10 to the wall outlet charger for an hour and then with the Z10 powered on, and with it STILL CONNECTED, remove the battery for a minute and replace. This will normally reset the the on-device battery meter and allow the charging status and percentage to show more correctly.
    2. Orange is your tech support contact and any issue which they cannot resolve, they should escalate up to BlackBerry tier two tech support, or you should ask/demand that.

  • IPhone 4S update to iOS 5.1 singal and battery issues

    Hi,
    I was on 5.0.1 and had no issues at all loved the phone and my battery life. Eversince I updated to 5.1 my phone signal is awful, 2 bars when I had 5 before, constantly floating, calls drop for no reason. Yesterday nobody was able to reach me until I restarted my phone. Switched phone on in the morning yesterday and I get no service for around 30 minutes, after restarting 3 times it finally found network.
    On o2 got my iphone from Apple unlocked.
    As to battery life I can loose around 10-20 % in 2-3 hours not doing anything just in stand by, my battery issues were solved with 5.0.1 but started again with 5.1
    What is apple doing? it is to say the least frustrating as ****. Fix one thing then break another, or break 2 while fixing them. It ****** me off.
    I tried to restore my phone 7 times already set up as new and still no improvement.
    One more interesting issue is when you go to your purchases in App store, and click dowload and app dissapears and then reappears on home screen few minutes later once it is done downloading.
    Anyone else with this kind of a issue?

    Honestly guys,
    It is either apple is blinded by their immense success which will not last if they keep going the direction they going. They should have more time to test their products thouroughly before they put their production line on overdrive. Company this size ignoring issues like that.
    I think new Ipad will have problems as well, it seems this line up 4S and new ipad is kind of transition point to a newer devices and were made just to get something out on the market. Using same CPUs same formfactor.
    My problem is I payed a fortune for it and it doesnt perform, I dont pay 600 pounds for a phone because I want to have issues with it. What they are doing is plainly ignoring these problems. Battery issue been going on since the release of the phone, going to be a year soon.
    Microsoft and Apple changing places, look like microsoft going the right direction now with Widnows 8 and mobiles where as apple comes up with something like Lion which I hated and now Mountain Lion which plainly is running out of ideas and starting to implement some features from iOS, these are completely different devices. They do not need to be the same, they werent created for the same purprose.
    I was on apples side all along but they are blinded by their pride in leading this revolution that they choose to ignore these issues. Relying on peoples stupidity to show off things like ipad 3 is 4x faster than tegra 3 where as in real results it came out 15% faster.
    Apple get his fixed before it is too late. Scared to buy your products now!!! Good thing I didnt get iPad looking at overheating issues it is having, and also not charging from cable while in use but draining battery. No thanks

  • Over heating and battery drain on iPhone 4 after iOS 7.1 update

    I am facing heavy battery drain and overheating after updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 7.1
    The battery discharges @ 1% for every minute - when not in use / idle. The handset stays uncomfortably warm. The background app refresh, location services, screen brightness etc have been switched off/kept to the minimum. Though there is significant improvement in responsiveness. There were no battery/overheating  issues with iOS 7.0.6.
    Have reset all settings, switched on/off, given a hard boot (power button + home button) but no use.
    Suggestions to resolve this are welcome.

    This is not a software issue!!!. Yes, it may cause by the software update.. I had the same issue with my Iphone5 after 7.1.. I went crazy .. seeing my battery draining 1% a minute without using it.. and it took more than 7 hours to charge completely. Worst my IPhone was out of warranty cant take it back to Apple to have it fixed.
    Things already did -
    I changed the battery
    Restored the phone
    Switched to setting basically nothing
    Waited for 7.1.1 to come out and then update the phone
    But none of these helped at all
    So i rolled the last dice.. took my phone to a local technician (in Philippines). They said none of the above will resolve the issue.
    What exactly went wrong was the - USB POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER IC U2 was busted. Once this was replaced my phone worked just fine. in fact I was amazed with the results.
    My phone charged 100% from 20% in less than 60 minutes.
    Now my battery lasts for more than 15 hours ( i do not use mobile data only Wi-Fi)
    So if your phone is out of warranty no harm in getting this part replaced. If within warranty you may get a replacement handset.
    Now to what causes this as per the technician " Every update from apple tries to exclude accessories that are not certified, and you do get the pop up that this accessory may not be supported" continue to use the charger will fry the IC U2 .
    Hope this Helps goodluck

  • Based in Thailand, but I can't download Facebook and Google Earth for iPad, what do I do?

    Trying to download Facebook and Google Earth applications for the new iPad 2.  I'm based in Thailand and is unable to find in Thai iTune store.  Very frustrated.  But when I change location to either USA or UK, those two apps do appear.  The only stumbling block is that I do not have a credit card based on those two countries, thus unable to create an account there.  What can I do to get around this weird situation?

    It is really weird that they do have a Facebook application for iPhone, but not for iPad in Thai iTune store.
    There could be copyright or other legal issues of some sort, or Facebook may just not have the iPad version regionalized yet. No way to know with any certainty.
    So we are unable to download applications elsewhere besides our region/country? 
    That is correct. The terms of use for any country's iTunes/App Store restrict its use to within that country only.
    Or is there anything we could do to bring to attention the people who work for iTune Thailand that they need to make available certain applications that already do appear in foreign iTune stores?
    It's not up to Apple, it's up to the developers. You'd need to contact Facebook and Google and urge them to make their apps available in Thailand.
    Regards.

  • Youtube and Safari Issues on iPad/Apple devices.

    For the last few days I have had a problem with all my apple devices. For some reason Youtube videos will not play, I keep getting the message "This video is currently unavailable" when I try to play any video. This only happens on Youtube through Safari, the app on my 3gs works fine but the app is not for iPad. Another problem that I get only on my iPad is that Safari is acting all weird. When I try to click on a link nothing happens and when I press the back button it goes back 2 or more pages instead of the previous page like its supposed to. Steps I've tried to resolve the problem:
    Force close the apps.
    Force restart the iPad/All apple devices.
    Reset all settings.
    Restore iPad through iTunes.
    None of the above steps have worked for me and I just don't know what to do. This only happens through wifi but I am certain their is nothing wrong with my wifi as my android devices and my laptop/desktop computer work fine when trying to view youtube videos. As I mentioned this is happening on all Apple devices which include:
    iPad 2
    iPhone 3gs
    iPhone 5
    iPod touch 4th gen.
    The weird safari issue is only occurring on my iPad.
    Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hotmail issues for Ipad mini

    We have been having problems connecting to hotmail and they have been experiencing server issues . They now say this is fixed yet after several reboots , reinstalls and checking set up had intermittment service. I searched the internet and found this guys instructions in you tube to set up email as Other account.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqGohK7JW9o
    I did this and it works well , unfortunately the saved folders and sent mail did not come through.
    Important note for outgoing server step his step where he changes port from 587 to 995 , set straight to 25, incoming server is good. Also the incoming server on Ipad mini is easily visible, to go to outgoing server just click on smtp.live .com in mail setup and you have to put your email and password in again
    I sent some mail and all OK.
    Keep your hotmail account alive as this will still sync your contacts and calendar etc as it appears only mail is the problem.
    So you will now have 2 email accounts , when you name this one just change name to Ipad hotmail or similar.
    maybe one day hotmail will work properly, but for now at least you can get and send mail.

    If I am reading your question correctly, you seem to asking for a product recommendation. Probably not gonna happen in this forum.
    But I found a simple Google search for "best data projector for ipad" yielded quite a good list of hits, some of which refer to this very fine forum.
    Hope this helps. I used to be a road warrior myself. My Computer Nickname is "Roadrunner" (beep beep!!)

  • 10.5.4 & MBA heat and battery

    Just last month my 3 month old MBA (SSD) began operating at very high temperature and the battery life was shot. I usually use my desktop for anything that intensive but love the MBA and recently I've been using it as my main computer. I even have my holiday pics on it..so the temperature and battery drain didn't really surprise me. I was about to install CoolBook last week when system update popped up offering me the latest 10.5.4 update...I installed that and forgot about CoolBook. Been using the MBA fairly intensive (inc streaming video) over the weekend and today and the battery life is looking as good as it ever has (approx 4hrs) and the case remains...dare I say it ... cool.
    Has Apple put feedback to good use and somehow with this update treated the battery life/operating temp issue so many have with the MBA? Or has my computer developed a personality and decided the threat of CB lowering it's voltage was enough and decided to behave?

    Bonsoir monsieur maarrcuss,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions !
    Thank you for your positive report on the latest 10.5.4 update. My Air is working well and I am a bit afraid to change anything. I am due to make 11 software updates according to my prompt when I first turned on my new Air. I am currently using 10.5.2
    If your first language is french I must say I am impressed with your english. I could never participate in a french discussion on line but I hope to get to the point I can read books, albeit slowly, in french.
    Au revoir
