How long do I need to charge my phone for the first time?

How long should I charge it before using? Anyone knows?

Hi Virginia,
It's probably best to just let it charge to 100%, however, if you needed to use it before it got to 100%, it won't hurt anything to do so.
Cheers,

Most iPad come wit a 60-70% charge. You can use it immediately and then charge at your convenience.
FYI
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.
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.

HT4859 how long does it take to backup your phone for the first time using icloud?

I have never used Icloud before and now my phone wants to be resotred so I am trying to back everything up using Icloud it just dosent seem to be moving and it just continues to say estimated time ...

Hello there jspin11,
The amount of time that the iCloud backup will take depends on a few factors the 2 most important are the amount of data to be backed up, and the internet connection speed.
I found a great resource for troubleshooting iCloud backups named iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3992.
General information
iCloud Backup requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
Automatic backups occur when you've plugged in your iOS device, locked the screen, and have connected it to Wi-Fi.
You can manually start a backup by tapping Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup (requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet).
iCloud Backup will provide helpful information and status messages related to backups at the bottom ofSettings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If automatic backups don't work as expected, test to see what happens when you start a manual backup by tapping Back Up Now at the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen.
Backups and restores both take time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your data and the speed of your network, you may need to give more time than you expected to a backup or restore.
Make sure you have at least 50 MB of free space available on your iOS device before you back up. If you have no space available on your device, iCloud Backup can fail in some cases. You can verify how much free space you have available on your iOS device in Settings > General > About.
SettingsiCloud Backup settings are controlled on a per-device basis from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
To view Storage & Backup settings:
Tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
Tap your device's name. From here you can:
View the size of your backups and see the storage used by each app.
Enable or disable Backup for each app.
Delete Backups.
Buy more storage.
If you're out of iCloud Storage space, you can apply several solutions:
Exclude Camera Roll and other large data from iCloud backups of your device by going to iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage and choosing your device.
Remove some of the larger files on your device, such as large audio or video files, from your Camera Roll in order make more space.
Remove existing Backups.
Purchase more storage.
For more information about managing and using the Storage & Backup settings, see this article.
If an issue persists and you are not able to resolve it using the methods discussed in this article, contact iCloud Support for additional assistance.
All the best,
Sterling

HT4859 How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

How long dose it take to chare a playbook for the first time?

I just got a new PlayBook 16GB Wifi and wondering how long dose it take to charge? I didnt turn it on yet so im wondering. Also how will i know when charging is finished? Thanks!

with the charger that came in the box it can take 10 hours depending how depleted the battery is. touch the battery icon and a drop down window will open that shows percentage of charge. use only the original charger or optional rapid charger. a little lightning bolt symbol across the battery indicates that it's charging.

For who long do i have to charge my iphone for the first time

can some one help me with thsi

It doesn't matter. You can start using the phone right away as long as it has charge on it. Lithium ion batteries have no requirements to be charged completlely or drained completely. You can also leave the device on the charger even after it has reached full charge.

How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

It should not take very long. Up to thirty seconds tops depending on your Wi-Fi network.
Try rebooting your Wi-Fi router. Turn off the router for 30 seconds then turn it back on. After the router completes its startup routine and indicates a good connection to the internet start you iPad again and see if it will connect.
If you still have problems you might try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. Maybe one at your local coffee shop or library.

Hi,
To connect your iPod to wifi just:
     1. Open settings,
     2. Tap Wi-Fi,
     3. Make sure the Wi-Fi switch is on,
     4. Tap the network you would like to connect to,
     5. If the network has a password then type it in and press join.
For hidden networks(networks that don't broadcast their SSID(name))
     1. Follow 1-3 above,
     2. Tap other,
     3. Type in SSID(name) of the network,
     4. Select the security of the network,
     5. If there is a password type it in,
     6. Press Join.
Some public networks may now show a login screen where you may have to agree to terms and conditions, enter your email etc...

Pls share ur ideasAs kajbj said - you need to store a token / file with a run date on the file system. Each time the application runs, have it compare with the date from this file with the current date. If different, it's the first run of the day. If not, it is not the first run of the day. Each time have it update the date on the file.

You don't need to charge an iPad when you first get it. You can charge at any time.

How to charge iphone 5s for the first time?

Hello! I'm picking up my new iphone 5s tomorrow from the shop and I'm wondering how I'm supposed to charge it the first time.
I REALLY don't want to ruin the battery life on my phone considering my iphone 5's battery right now is just terrible. It dies in around 2 hours
So when i take it out of the box and turn it on, should I use all the battery on it right then and set everything up? Or am i supposed to charge it for 8 hours or whatever?

When you take the new iPhone out of the box, assuming you have to activate and setup, plug it in so you do all of the work with a solid power source. See what the charge level is, and if over 50% don't worry about charging when you are finised with the setup unless you feel like letting it sit and top-up the battery.
You cannot over-charge as the unit has a protection circuit that shuts down the charging when the battery hits 100%. The battery will trickle down even sitting, and when it gets down to 93-95% charge level, the charging circuit starts up and charges the battery back to 100%.
While some say to drain the battery all the way regularly, that actually is not good for a Lithium-Ion battery...studies show a battery drained to 50% and recharged will have three to four times the life of a battery drained all the way to shutdown regularly.
And keep in mind, batteries are expendable items and will degrade over time with usage.

How long do I need to charge my phone for the first time?
