HT4623 why am i experiencing short battey life after installing ios 7?

why am i experiencing short battey life with my IPad after installing ios 7 1 ?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
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

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.

  • Why am I experiencing long lag times after installing Mavericks?

    I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks on my Mac Mini;  Why am I experiencing long lag times?

    Not enough free disk space can cause the lag times...
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    Do you have anti virus software, MacKeeper, and CleanMyMac installed?
    Checked the disk lately?
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
    Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.

  • Battery life after installing iOS 4.0 on 3GS

    I've read a little about loss of battery life on the 3GS after installing 4.0 so I was curious who else is experiencing these problems. Since installing the new software my phone is losing about 8-10% per hour when sitting idle. I am losing a full charge and using the phone less than 30 min. I have done a restore and have made sure aps are closed. I can;t get the phone to stop eating battery life. Any suggestions?? Please!

    Bingo.....decided to try a restore factory settings through ITunes and then backed up with the phone settings so I did not lose all my stuff, if this had not worked I would have tried again but then reset as a new phone and start afresh, but thankfully I did not need to. Note you still end up with OS 4.0
    After going through the set up and then recharging just once, the battery has performed pretty much as it is has done since initial purchase. In 16 hrs of minimal usage and in standby it has used 30%.
    Good luck.
    Cheers

  • HT4623 I have no sound on my iPad after installing iOS 7 tried everything even reset

    After downloading iOS7 I have lost all sound on my iPad, tried reset and just about every other settings but still silent - frustrated and ready to chuck it in the bin.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • Why does iPad 2 have frequent crashes after installing iOS 7?

    This happens during use of "native" and third party apps.

    Wonderful fix. It works perfectly now. Thank You! Glad I did this before I restored the IOS.

  • When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    What makes you so sure it isn't software?
    The camera can be focused by take the point of focus on the touch screen.
    If it is new as you said, it should be under warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment or contact Apple with a repair request.

  • Any iPhone 4S users experienced better battery life after upgrading to iOS 7.1?

    Hello
    I am curious to know if any iPhone 4S users experienced better battery life compared to iOS 7.x.x.? That will be great to know before I upgrade and give up my JB .
    Thanks!

    Really, that's quite an assertion. I'm sure you can prove those stats; but  my apologies,  I forgot that Apple produces flawless product.
    I can only report MY SYMPTOMS: iPhone 4S 32M on VZW, upgrade to iOS 7.0 at the end of February (when security flaw was announced), after which my battery life is about 1/2 what it used to be before the upgrade.
    Also, as reported above, when I upgraded to iOS 7.0 my phone would lock (in phone mode); had uncommanded  reboots; and severely degraded battery life.  Two days ago, upgraded to iOS 7.1.  Most screen "touch" issues appear resolved; and uncommanded reboots resolved.
    Battery life / duration still poor; still charging every 4-5 hours.
    Previously with  normal use (with no location services) could run a full day, about 8 hours before recharge. Now, same situations, I'm having to recharge after 4-5 hours.  Again, no new apps, all apps are current; no different usage.
    What's the resolving fix?

  • Hot battery and short battery life after download of Mountain Lion.

    Hot battery and short battery life after download of Mountain Lion.  Any suggestions?

    As in, shortly after install?
    Note after you install Mountain Lion it's likely that the Spotlight index will be rebuilt.  This will take some time and the machine will run hot.  After this completes, which could take 1-2 hours, things should return more to normal.
    If they don't, I suggest running Activity Monitor and seeing if you can trace what is eating up CPU cycles.

  • What is going on the my battery life, after installing Mavericks, what a drain!!!

    What is going on the my battery life, after installing Mavericks, what a drain!!!

    You can try resetting the SMC and NVRAM.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    You can also try running the short and/or extended Apple hardware test by holding D button while booting up and then following the instructions.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    If that doesn't work (seems not extremely likely that it will) you can backup and try reinstalling a fresh OS.
    If that still doesn't work maybe the battery is bad.  If you don't feel like messing with all that just take it to Apple.  They should have a test they can perform.

  • After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

    After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

    Hello Rach Ryan
    First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    There are can be reasons PDFs cannot be opened. For example, some forms created with Lifecycle Designer cannot be opened.
    Are you sure the file is a PDF? Can you open it in Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or PC? Does it give an error message when you try to open it?

  • After installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4, why is my camera taking purple pictures?

    Immediately after installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4 on 9/22/12, when I attempt to use any of my phone apps, everything is colored in purple tint (see attached image). This includes taking video as well. If I flip the camera to the self facing camera, the purple goes away. This only happens on the front facing camera. I've tried googling this issue and cannot find anyone else complaining about this. Any ideas???

    So, now I'm starting to feel like I'm the one and only lucky SOB to have this purple issue. For anyone who reads this, some more detail. Since posting this thread, I did a full reset from my iphone and that did not resolve the issue. Then, last night I did a full system restore from itunes which took about 4 hours and that didn't solve it either.
    After all this, I started thinking that perhaps there's something wrong with the lens hardware but yesterday for approx 3 full seconds, the camera was normal then there was a stutter and it went purple again. Sounds like a software issue, so I'm really baffled why a system restore wouldn't cure this. Ugh!
