Hi. Does using the cover lock help battery life?

Hi. Does using the cover lock help battery life?

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
http://www.macblend.com/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.

  • Does using bluetooth headphones dramatically decrease battery life in ipod 5

    I have a 64gb version of the Itouch 5 and recently started using jaybird brand bluetooth headphhones. At first everything worked fine but now the battery inthe Ipod only lasts 4 hours even when niot using it.  Has there been any known issues with this?

    Yes, and no. The headphones aren't sucking the battery out of your 5th Generation iTouch. USING BLUETOOTH, will. Its like running a game on your iPod for a while. It will drain the battery more quickly than with just listening to music. So running apps, bluetooth, etc, WILL shorten your battery life.
    HOW TO FIX IT:
    When you are not using the headphones, turn the bluetooth off through the general settings in your itouch. Then, while you aren't running the headphones, it won't suck the battery life out. When you use the headphones, turn bluetooth back on. Leaving bluetooth on is still leaving the iPod in bluetooth mode, which is running down the battery because it takes extra charge to run bluetooth. Hope this helps!

  • Search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help

    Hi,
    I’m trying to create a generic search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help. It should working so, that I construct a Web Dynpro-component, that gets the data of the search help from the SAP-system, interpreted it and creates the ui-elements and the needed context generic.
    The mapping between the Input field of the customerview and the right search help is to be made with an xml-file, which contains the information: name of the view, the input field, the search-help-name and the name of the field that will be returned.
    The xml-file is reading from a helper-class. That helper-class contains any information, witch need the search help-component as well as the customer-component.
    The initialization takes place in the method wdDoModify of the customer. The call of the search help from the customer should be implement with an Action, witch is bound to a Button(create dynamic in the helper-class behind the input field).
    In a second foot should be create a plugin for eclipse, witch insert the used files (search help component, helper class, …) in the project. In addition it should create the call in the customer generic.
    It would be great if someone can give me a feedback!

    Hi Mike,
    The BlanketAgreement.exe is a reference to the executable that will be created when you compile the solution you created in Part II - Part III. I think there is a mistake in the tutorial because it asks you to name the project 'Blanket' which means that by default the executable will be called Blanket.exe and not BlanketAgreement.exe. The tutorial also misses the step asking you to compile the Blanket project before you go on to create an installer. You should compile your Blanket project in Release mode before creating an installer. By compiling the project you'll get a Blanket.exe file in the bin folder of your Blanket project which you then need to add to the installer per the instructions.
    SAP do offer development courses in some areas and there is training material here on the SDN and on the SAP partner portal (and maybe the customer portal as well). Try searching this forum for 'training' or 'tutorial' and you should get a few links. There's also a development certification.
    Personally I'd recommend you give yourself a little project to work on and just get stuck in
    Kind Regards,

  • Error "Extend the destination address using the location input help"

    Hi experts,
    I got warning while creating travel expense from existing travel request.
    the warning appear like this "Extend the destination address using the location input help"
    I don't want user to enter detail of address trip destination.
    how to avoid this?
    thanks
    Edited by: nzworld on Apr 29, 2011 5:42 AM

    Hi,
    If you are using ESS and you get the warning message when you enter details for a particular expense type. Please follow the config and hide the location details. Then you will not get this error message.
    SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial Accounting (New) > Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Dialog and Travel Expenses Control > Dialog Control > Field Control for Additional Receipt Information.
    Enter your trip provision variant, select the expense type for which you dont want to enter the location details and then select details. Search for the variable location, select hide radio button and save.
    Please let me know if you have further clarifications.
    Regards,

  • I keep getting the "Something went wrong" message on my Droid Razr HD also. I looked in my Settings, and I don't have a Cloud app - I have a Cloud Print app with nothing cached.  This is making it nearly impossible to use the phone - please help!  So far,

    I keep getting the "Something went wrong" message on my Droid Razr HD also. I looked in my Settings, and I don't have a Cloud app - I have a Cloud Print app with nothing cached.  This is making it nearly impossible to use the phone - please help!  So far, this website has only made things more difficult.

    The details you're providing are very helpful, Maj_Dad. With airplane mode enabled,
    there would be no message because that disables celluar data. I would recommend
    tying that mode with WiFi to see if it still happens. It sounds like this issue
    has something to do with one of the applications on the device.

  • Why doesn't the Macbook Pro's battery life last?

    Why doesn't the Macbook Pro's battery life last anywhere near 5 hours, as advertised?  This is my second one and it lasts 2.  It's false advertising, and Apple doesn't seem to making a big deal or know anything about it, which i'm sure they do.  Since their general practice is to deny problems exist in all their products, i'm here to make it known that the most recent Macbook Pro has a severe battery issue and it needs to be addressed.
    I'm running OS X 10.8.3, Bluetooth is off, and haven't installed any third party software.

    My MacBook Pro is over a year old and still gets 2.5 to 5 hours, depending on how intensively my application activity is hitting the CPU and disk. Remember that battery life depends on usage and component loads. You could get 1 hour editing HD video since it would hit all cores and slam the disk constantly, or 8 hours in a cabin in the woods with wifi and Bluetooth turned off, only writing text files, and with the backlight turned down and no disc in the drive. You should check Activity Monitor to make sure you don't have some processes using unusually high amounts of CPU for long periods of time (like browser tabs running Flash ads in the background, chewing up CPU and battery power without even being seen).
    Like mende1 says, there are not huge numbers of Mac users getting only 2 hours, or the world would have heard about it by now and MacBook sales would be down. If you are only getting 2 hours there is something going on local to your machine or usage habits.

    That's not strictly true. Apple has often announced updates or repair/exchange programs to address various problems that had come up over time. Maybe not always, but it does happen. They also have often helped me and my friends when we brought in Macs that were out of warranty and had problems. They had no legal obligation to work on our Macs for free, but they did anyway.

  • Found the reason why my battery life was short

    As topic says, I found the reason why my battery life was short.
    Having had the Iphone 4 since launch, I've always been impressed by the battery life.
    So when it started to go from 100% to 50% overnight, with no use I started wondering what caused this.
    I my case it was the wireless network, before I used to have just one wireless router, but recently I bought a accesspoint using it as a signal repeater(booster), giving me 100 % wifi coverage at home.
    Since the repeater has the same wireless SSID as the router it seems to confuse the iphone, making it switch between connecting to the router and the accesspoint nonstop and therefore draining the battery.
    Disconnected the accesspoit and now things are back to normal.

    If you have just one wireless router you can't turn the accesspoint off, you could try turning wifi off on the phone and see if that helps.
    In my case the wifi range of the router and the accesspoint overlapped each other, making the iphone constantly switch between them.

  • Does OS X Mavericks shorten a battery life time in Retina Macbook Pro?

    Does OS X Mavericks shorten a battery life time in Retina Macbook Pro?

    Thank you again for your advice, and I am sure your right but as a simplton I have to argue that the problem is asociated with Mavericks in so much as - one does not have any of these issues running any previous OS and therefore, the issue is a Mavericks one when upgrading.  It is all to easy for the techies to say "its on your mac' if proper testing and development had been done on,  at the very least , the apple software the upgrade should not have issues.  its a bit late after installing and having Apple update remind you all the time to upgrade then to say sorry - your fault for having incompatible software like mail .  However, I suggest you look at the other apple logs / site that complain of battery drain after mavericks they all point to issues that are as a RESULT of the upgrade and yes technically you will argue that is because the original software in not compatible or some such.  Lets not go on and on I have sorted the problem - don't use Mail and battery life is OK, Use mail and watch it drain.  Once again thank you please don't feel the need to respond.

  • HT4211 In the new iPad update how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

    Now that I downloaded the new iPad update, how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

    in iOS 7, double click the Home Button (the round one on the front).
    You will see icons for all open apps with a 'screenshot' above each icon. Simply drag any 'screenshot' upwards using 1 finger to close the app.
    Most apps don't use much power when inactive but some do including Sat Nav apps
