I don't think it's a problem. 3% of a 10 hour battery is 18 minutes. How long did the update take?

  • IPad 2 gains battery life after reset.....

    Funny thing, I hard reset my iPad 2 and gained 5 percent battery life...from 90 to 95. Is this a bug?

    Yes, of course it's an estimate. But it seems to be behaving differently since a recent update. Also, I have some questions about your post:
    As far as I know, there aren't any iOS apps that will give you any more accurate battery info than the percentage displayed. In fact, I believe there's a rule for developers using the battery API that their apps can only display the current battery percentage to the nearest 5%. Consequently, most apps will give you a slider asking YOU to move it to match what the percentage displayed in the top bar of the iPad is. if you know of an app that actually gives you greater access to battery stats, I'd love to know what it is. But please nothing that requires a jailbreak.
    Also, when you talk about Activity Monitor, I assume you're talking about the Mac and not the iPad? But Activity Monitor on the Mac doesn't display any battery information either, as far as I'm aware.

  • IPad 4 128GB WiFi Battery Life

    I bought a brand new 128GB iPad 4 two days ago. I have adjusted just about every setting possible, but my battery life drains like it's use double A batteries. I left home this morning with 75% and within 3 hours (30 minutes of actual use), it was down to below 30% remaining. This is not a good sign, nor does it make me feel better about dropping the $900 on a new iPad. I've seen countless threads about this issue, but none of them seem to help with the problem. I am running iOS 6.1.3. Any ideas? Is Apple addressing this? I know this was an issue with the iPhone 5 when it was first released. But since I use my iPad for work all day long...I've got to find a solution or the thing is getting returned.
    Please help?

    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%.

  • Why does my iPad 2 get worse battery life with iOS 7???

    This new update has way too much white on the screen even when fully dimmed it seems to use more battery than before. Can there be an update to change that?
    And in case anybody asks, NO, my battery has been properly taken care of. Charged perfectly each time. So that's not the issue.

    Don't know how much the tips in this article http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/ might help but it's worth a look.

  • Battery life greatly decreased after ios 5.0.1 update on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S

    Really disappointing considering my iPad 2 battery life used to be great, lasting up to a week with no recharge necessary.  Now my iPad battery life drops 1% every few minutes of casual use.
    My iPhone 4S battery life under ios 5.0 used to be decent and could hold the charge well when idle only losing 1% every few hours as long as it was just sleeping.  Now I am losing 10 - 15% every few hours when it is just sleeping.  When I surf the net, I lose 1% each minute! This is with pretty much every battery wasting feature turned off except Siri.
    I'm not sure how Apple managed to exacerbate a problem affecting tens of millions of people around the world with a fix that they've had weeks to test.  I mean they could've just emailed me and asked me to test it before they released it to the public, I could've told you within a few minutes that it didn't work.
    Apple consistenly have problems with each new iPhone release.  They just can't seem to get it 100% right.  The camera, antenna and speed have vastly improved over the iPhone 4, but arguably the most important feature has taken a nose dive in quality.  I can't believe they marketed this phone as having IMPROVED battery life?  I don't think one person will agree that that is an accurate statement.

    Do you have wifi syncing turned on? Is your itunes always open?
    There is a glitch with the iPad where, as long and anytime iTunes is open, it'll sync...like once an hour or some such rate.
    Originally the wifi syncing was only supposed to take place if the device is plugged into power, but that's not the case. If I have my iTunes open my iPad will try to sync almost continuously.
    So check your wifi sync and iTunes settings (my iTunes used to be set to open automatically when the device is connected, I had to change it to only open when I do it manually because in the course of an evening's surfing my iPad opened my iTunes and started to sync three different times until I turned it off)
    If you have iCloud syncing enabled that may also be contributing to your battery issues. I don't sync over iCloud, I tried it but after it ate all my contacts, I stopped using it. However, if the same glitch is present, the device trying to continually sync even when not plugged into power, that could also be part of your drain.

  • My battery life between charges on my ipad 1 has plummeted to about 2 hours.  The guy at the genius bar suggested it might be an app (unfortunately I didn't have the device with me).  Does anyone know of apps that cause heavy drains on power?  Thanks!

    The battery life between charges on my iPad has plummeted to about 2 hours.  The guy at the genius bar said the charge should last about 10 hours and suggested it might be an app (unfortunately I didn't have the device with me and the nearest Apple Store to me is 2 hours away).  Does anyone know of apps that cause heavy drains on power?  It also does not charge when it is plugged into my MacBook while I am using the iPad but it does when I am not using the iPad.  I mostly use the iPad to read e-mails, play Team Lava games, read books through iBooks or Kobo and the ABC Player.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

    Restore is about the only option left, short reinstalling the whole thing as new.
    Before you restore, go to I tunes and turn off automatic sync.  Then plug the machine in.  Upload any photos that you have taken with the pad into I photos, or where ever you keep your pictures.  Then, in I tunes, transfer any purchases.
    If any apps or purchased music get lost in the process, you can download them again for free.
    You do not want to make a backup of what you have on the pad now. If you do, when you restore, you will simply recreate the same problem.
    What you want to do is restore from a prior backup.  Do that. 
    Then run the system status app and see what the CPU numbers look like.  If they are ok, then you can start to re add apps until the problem shows up.
    If this does not do it, then the last step is to set the pad up as new.  Check the numbers, then add the apps and settings back one by one.    While it is likely to be an app, it may be a setting somewhere.

  • Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? How can this problem be solved?

    Dear all,
    I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
    Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
    How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
    An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content.

  • My iPad mini3's battery life is short... Really short...

    My ipad drains fast like playing clash of clans for a couple of minutes (15 -20) already depletes 23-25% of my battery life... ANd everytime i update to the lastest os, it just keeps on getting slower  

    Hello francis lawrence alexander,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If you are experiencing unusual battery drain and general slowness/unresponsiveness, you may want to see if any of your apps (particularly background apps) are consuming a disproportionte amount of usage (which equates to both battery power and processor power). You may find the following article helpful, in particular this portion:
    iOS 8 is designed to be the most battery-efficient iOS ever. And it gives you more precise ways to manage your device’s battery life, because you can see the proportion of your battery used by each app (unless the device is charging). To view your usage, go to Settings > General > Usage > Battery Usage.
    Here are the messages you may see listed below the apps you’ve been using:
    Background Activity. This indicates that the battery was used by the app while it was in the background — that is, while you were using another app.
    To improve battery life, you can turn off the feature that allows apps to refresh in the background. Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and set the switch to Off.
    If the Mail app lists Background Activity, you can choose to fetch data manually or increase the fetch interval. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data.
    Location and Background Location. This indicates that the app is using location services.
    You can optimize your battery life by turning off Location Services for the app. Turn off in Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
    In Location Services, you can see each app listed with its permission setting. Apps that recently used location services have an indicator next to the on/off switch.
    Home & Lock Screen. This indicates that the Home screen or Lock screen was displayed on your device. For example, the display was awakened by pressing the Home button or by a notification.
    If an app frequently wakes your display with notifications, you can turn off push notifications for the app in Settings > Notifications. Tap App and set Allow Notifications to Off.
    No Cell Coverage and Low Signal. This indicates that either you are in a poor cell coverage area and your iOS device is searching for a better signal or that you’ve used your device in low-signal conditions, which has affected your battery life.
    You can optimize your battery life by turning on Airplane mode. Swipe up to open Control Center and tap the Airplane mode icon. Note that you cannot make or receive calls while in Airplane mode.

    Sincerely,
    - Brenden

  • HT1476 ever since I upgraded to ios 7, the battery life is very short and I do not use my ipad all that much.l have been on the phone to apple 3 times, turning off all kinds of things I so not use and have powered off more than before but it is still poor

    ever since I upgraded to ios 7, my battery life is very short. I do not use the ipad all that much and have to charge it twice as much as before. I have been on the phone to Apple 3 times and turned off a number of things that I am not using and now power it off more regularly but still not happy with battery life. It is less than a year old and as I said, I don' t use it all that much

    My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

  • Save and Protect your iPad Device: How to Save and Prolong the battery life of your new ipad

    Please, as you read add more answers to this on how to prolong and save your ipad battery life. Thank you
    Saving the battery life of your iPad
    1.Keep Your iDevice Out of the Sun
    Whatever you do, don’t leave your iPhone or iPod sitting in a hot car—heat kills batteries faster than any other factor, and your device that used to keep a charge for hours will eventually barely hold a charge, and you’ll have to pay Apple to get it replaced. The same thing holds true for any really hot environment: try and store your device in a cool place.
    Reduce the Screen Brightness
    If you keep the screen at maximum brightness all the time, you’re wasting a lot of battery life—and the screens these days are so bright anyway that you don’t really need to, especially at night. Head into Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper to adjust the default level of brightness, which you can probably keep as low as 30% most of the time.
    2. Make Sure the Screen Locks Quickly
    Even if you’ve adjusted the screen brightness, there’s still no substitute for having it turn off quickly when you’re not using it. Head into General -> Auto-Lock to set the screen lock to happen as quickly as your device will let you. This makes a big difference if you are always picking up your phone and putting it back into your pocket without turning the display off.
    3. Use Airplane Mode When You Don’t Need Internet (iPad/iPhone)
    If you’re busy spending the next 8 hours playing Angry Birds, there might not be a good reason to have internet access, so you can consider using Airplane Mode, which turns off both Wi-Fi and the regular wireless radio. Of course, this will prevent phone calls if you’re on an iPhone—but if you’re busy with Angry Birds you probably don’t want the interruption anyway.
    4. The more important reason to use Airplane Mode is when you’re mobile in an area with a really spotty connection—because the iPhone or iPad will try to stay connected at all times, it’s going to be constantly searching for a connection, which can drain your battery. Head into Settings and flip the Airplane Mode switch right up at the top of the screen.
    Use Wi-Fi Instead of 3G if Possible
    According to Apple, the iPad will get 10 hours of battery life under regular use with Wi-Fi enabled, but will only get 9 hours using 3G—the iPhone gets 6 for 3G and 10 for Wi-Fi. Of course, if you’re heavily using the Wi-Fi, you’ll still be draining the battery—the point is under similar workloads, Wi-Fi is better than 3G for battery life.
    You can enable Wi-Fi under Settings -> Wi-Fi, and then pick the network you’d like to connect to.
    5. Reduce or Eliminate Mail & Calendar Checking
    If you’ve got a bunch of email, calendar, or contact accounts configured, and they are all being checked and downloading email on a regular basis, you’ll be draining the battery an awful lot faster than you need to.
    Head into Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Fetch New Data and change the setting to the least frequent check possible. If you don’t use it often, you can just turn Push off entirely and then manually check when you need to.
    6. Reduce or Eliminate Push Notifications
    Do you really need notifications from Twitter or whatever other apps you’re running? You can turn these off one-by-one, or turn off Push entirely by heading into Settings -> Notifications, and save a bit of extra battery life since your device won’t be pulling in data for those applications anymore.
    7. Reduce or Eliminate System Sounds
    This one is probably a little silly, but if you really don’t care for the system sounds you can save a small amount of battery life by removing the sounds. A very, very small amount, most likely. Head into Settings -> General -> Sounds to change them.
    8. Disable Location Services
    If you don’t really need the location services, you can disable them to save some battery life. Head into Settings -> General and flip the Location Services setting to off.
    9. Disable Bluetooth If You Don’t Need It
    If you don’t use a Bluetooth headset or keyboard, you should keep the Bluetooth radio disabled to save some extra battery life. Head into Settings -> General -> Bluetooth to flip it on or off.
    10. Disable Vibrate Feature in Games
    If you’ve got a game that uses the vibrate feature, you can turn that off to save some battery life. This mostly matters if the game heavily uses it, and you’ll need to change the setting for the game. As a side note, and it should go without saying, if you’re running really intensive video games, they will kill your battery very quickly.
    11. Charge and Discharge Your Battery Regularly
    Your iDevice needs to be fully discharged and recharged at least once a month to operate at maximum efficiency and keep the battery from dying. You’ll also want to make sure that you don’t store the device with a dead battery, as that can also cause the battery to lose charge capability—when your battery dies, make sure to recharge it quickly.

    Thank you all.

    The reason that Apple suggests you drain and recharge your battery once a month is not because it affects the life ofthe battery. What it actually does is calibrate the battery sensor, giving you a more accurate reading. 
    Other than that, you done an admirable job of summarizing the Knowledge Base article:

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W 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%.
