How to charge iphone 5 correctly

Hi everyone,
So Apple says to do a full cycle charge once a month (charge iphone from 0% to 100% and then do a reset) right?!
But during everyday use should I charge the phone for bit during the day? Or just charge every night before going to bed?
When the 20% alert shows you must charge the iphone to avoid a complete cycle charge?
Any suggestions?
Thank you

The purpose of the full cycle charge is to recalibrate the battery gauge. Lithium chemistry batteries are notoriously hard to manage, because their voltage does not drop linearly with state of charge, as most other secondary cells do. So the battery gauge monitors battery charge going in and battery drain going out, and computes the remaining life from this. But the battery's capacity drops with age, and the calculation isn't perfect. So after a while the gauge no longer knows what the state of charge actually is. The most obvious symptom of this is when the phone suddenly shuts off well above 1% remaining. When you run the battery all the way down, then charge fully, the charging circuit in the phone can re-establish the end points.
Anyway, the answer to your question is charge it whenever you want, except that you should periodically run it all the way down, then fully charge it (once a month, as Apple suggests). But not every day. According to Apple this does not affect the total lifetime of the battery.
Oh, one other point. The iPhone will not let you deep discharge the battery. When it shuts off at 1% there is still significant charge left. It's unusable charge, except to keep iOS alive. If you fly a plane there are 2 numbers you need to know - total fuel capacity, and useable fuel capacity, which is always lower. Same with Lithium batteries in electronics.

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 to charging iPhone 4

When use iPhone4 as GPS can I use car charging ? It is good or damage phone battery ?
Can I charging when battery capacity reach 60% . I read " Apple-Batteries " but realy do not know what is '' One charge cycle " .
In practically please tell me using iPhone from full charge and when to recharge .
Thanks to your help.

Also, you can and should charge as often and as long as possible... deep discharges are hard on lithium batteries. Normal mobile use will result in the one charge cycle/month that Apple recommends.

My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed. After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work. I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder. Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore. Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

How to properly charge iphone

Hello , so I know that many people already asked this on the internet but everybody says something different and I think this is the best place to ask something like this. So I bought a new iPhone 5S and I would like to know how to charge it so that it has the longest possible lifespan. Someone says that I should charge it when it's almost totally discharged , and other that I should charge it often... So how should I charge it properly so that it has the longest possible lifespan?

How to charge your Palm Centro via 64-bit Windows, with a USB cable

Here is a way to recharge your Palm Centro on your 64-bit Windows computer, through a USB cable. But first, a few brief explanatory notes...
Note 1: I have successfully used this method to charge my Palm Centro from my 64-bit Windows 7 computer. This method probably works for other Palm devices and other 64-bit Windows versions (XP and Vist)... but I haven't tested this on any other configurations. Others may feel free to post their successes or failures with their setups.
Note 2: This method will NOT allow you to HotSync your Palm to the computer via USB. All it does is let you charge your Palm via USB. If you need to HotSync your Palm, and you have 64-bit Windows, you have to use Bluetooth or some other method. To learn how to use Bluetooth to sync, search for "bluetooth sync 64-bit" or something like that on this forum.
Note 3: If you're wondering why someone would need to use this method - why not just plug the phone into a wall outlet, right? - it's because the Centro's charging jack can get messed up. Mine has not worked properly for the last several months
Note 4: I will not be posting any follow-ups to this message. This is my first (and only) post here... I'm posting here because I am very grateful to this forum: It is here that I learned how (and why) to sync my Centro to my computer via Bluetooth, because Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows. This is my way of saying "thank you"! I'm not trying to be harsh by not following up... it's just that I won't be checking this thread, and I don't want anyone to have bad feelings if they ask questions and I don't respond. I'll be as thorough as I can in this one posting, though.
Note 5: I cannot claim credit for actually discovering this solution. I found it after HOURS of looking online... it was on some obscure website. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found the original solution, so I can't credit the discoverer here. However, I have done my best to provide much more detailed instructions here.
Note 6: Lastly, Palm should support 64-bit Windows. Period. Some of you may say, "It's not Palm's fault - the company that makes the Palm OS is Access, and it's Access's fault for not supporting 64-bit Windows." Well, this may be true, but Access has stated that Palm has not requested a 64-bit driver. (In fact, you can call Access and ask them directly.) And if Palm doesn't ask (and pay) for it, Access sure isn't going to create one on its own. I used to LOVE Palm devices... I've used Palms for 12 years now, and for most of that time, I heartily recommended Palms to all my friends. But, between this problem and the other problems I've had with my current Centro and my previous Treo, I'm done with Palm. No more for me.
OK, here's how to charge your Palm (finally!)
1) If you haven't done so already, install the latest version of Palm Desktop / HotSync on your computer. You can get this at palm.com, under the "support" section. (Actually, I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I already had done this.)
2) As you're installing the software on your computer, toward the end of the process, do not actually sync your Palm to your computer. Just cancel or whatever you have to do to avoid that step. (Remember, the whole point here is that Palm does not have a driver compatible with 64-bit Windows, so you won't be able to sync via USB.)
3) If you don't already have it, get the PocketTunes application (also known as "pTunes") on your Palm device. If you have to install the software, you may need to do so wirelessly or via a 32-bit Windows computer (because, again, Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows).
4) Connect the Palm USB cable to your computer. If you are using a desktop, plug into the USB ports on the BACK of your computer. These ports are directly powered, whereas the ports on the front of your desktop may not be. You'll want as much juice as possible to charge your Palm.
5) Connect the Palm USB cable to your Palm.
6) Turn on the Palm device, and open the PocketTunes application on your Palm.
7) PocketTunes will try to connect to Windows Media Player (on your desktop). Tell your desktop to connect to Windows Media Player. (You can save time by telling your desktop to do this automatically.) When PocketTunes connects with Windows Media Player, you'll have a power connection via USB.
8) PocketTunes will eventually show that it is "Idle" on the Palm.
9) To confirm whether the Palm is charging, look for the charging light (on the Centro, it's on the upper left) to turn solid red. You can also hit the home button on the Palm to see the battery / charging status. To get the charging working, you may have to exit PocketTunes and come back into it a few times before the charging light comes on. I have no idea why you have to do this; I just know what I wind up doing sometimes. You don't have to unplug and replug the phone from the USB cable, or turn the phone off and on. Just leave PocketTunes and come back to PocketTunes.
10) If you exit the PocketTunes application on the Palm, the Palm will still charge - but you'll get the constant and annoying "no driver" noise from Windows. To avoid that sound, just keep the Palm on PocketTunes while you have the Palm plugged into the USB cable.
11) You can close Windows Media Player on the desktop once you have the Palm charging.
12) Once you have this set up properly, you can speed up the process by setting the HotSync cable button to PocketTunes - after all, that button no longer needs to be set up to HotSync via USB cable.
When you have everything set up, here's what you would be doing on a regular basis:
-- Plug USB cable (which is already plugged into your computer) into Palm
-- Hit HotSync button on cable --> This starts PocketTunes --> PocketTunes automatically opens Windows Media Player on the computer
-- See if charging light turns solid red --> If not, exit PocketTunes, then hit HotSync button on cable to start PocketTunes again
-- Repeat until charging light turns solid red (success!)
-- Once the Palm is charging, close Windows Media Player on desktop
Best of luck to all who need this!

Why do you want to create your own driver instead of what comes with the device? If you go that route, you need all of the low level USB RAW protocol from the vendor. Did you get that? Yoe are wasting your time if you don't have that. Is the driver from the vendor documented? If it's a USB connection, how does that connection show up in windows device manager?

I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?

I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?

While both the iPhone and the iPad use an Apple dock cable for charging, the iPad wants a 1100 mA charger, and the iPhone charger's a 500 mA charger. USB ports on newer Apple computers can switch into 1100 mA mode, but your average computer is going to put out no more than 500 mA and, possibly, quite less (for example, an un-powered USB hub will only put out 100 mA or so, and an iPad won't charge off that). The iPad will say "not charging" if it is trickle-charging (receiving less than 1000 mA of power).
If the problem persists when using the 1100 mA iPad charger, you need to take it to an Apple store and have it serviced or replaced. Bring the iPad charger that you received with the iPad as it may be that the charger is defective and not putting out 1100 mA.
If the problem is that it charges slow because it's being connected to iPhone chargers or PCs or older Macs, then it's not a problem with the iPad. It's charging, it just takes a long time because you are using an under-powered charger.

Charging iPhone with closed lid on mbp

I've been researching, but found nothing this specific so far. Related links:
- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476 - This says it may or may not charge
- http://forums.mactalk.com.au/11/72536-snow-leopard-not-charging-iphone-while-lid -closed.html - This says it should work since Leopard and if it's not working to reset the SMC should fix it (I haven't tried yet): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
- http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=795007 This is not the same model, but for him it seems to not work anyway
- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2126178 Suggests http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 for dealing with closed lid, but requires external display, among other things that don't come to this case (or so I guess)
To me, experience showed that closing the lid with the iPhone already connected works fine. I'm using a macbook pro 2009, as already hinted elsewhere. It's 13'' if that makes any difference.
But if I have the computer sleeping in the bag and want to just plug the iPhone for charging convenience, then it doesn't work. I have to remove it, open the lid, wait for charging to begin, then I can safely close, sleep, put it back on the bag, and it will be charging.
So I wonder how this is supposed to work, and if I can "fix" this behavior. Anyone knows?

I actually solved it on my own luck. Oddly enough, just need to remove and re-plug.
Here, this is a small chart:
1- Computer with lid open, up and running with energy - whatever AC or not.
normal behavior, everything as expected: plug in iPhone it starts charging.
2- Computer with closed lid, sleeping as blinking light indicate and plugged in AC power.
normal behavior, everything as expected: plug in iPhone it starts charging.
3- Computer with closed lid for long time, unplugged from AC power, no cables on it whatsoever.
plug in iPhone - nothing happens.
unplug it and plug in again in either port - it starts charging!
If you close the lid and don't wait it gets to sleep (that is, white blinking light - if you want to be sure, wait till the computer cools down, if it was hot - that's sleep mode) you'll get normal behavior right on the first plug time. The trick of plugging again seem to work always from my tests. So this is a undocumented feature that took me freaking long enough to uncover!
Now it's aight!

Can i charge iphone 4s with uk wall ipad charger?

Also , if i can how about charging the ipad in the car,

The iPad charger can provide up to 10 watts, but it does not push it allows the device to draw, so it is safe to charge your iPhone, which draws 5 watts, with the iPad's charger.
In the car you would want to use a charger that can provide the iPad 10 watts or else it will charge extremely slowly. There are a few 3rd party developers that have new car chargers with a USB port for both an iPhone at 5 watts and for the iPad at 10 watts.
