IPad-2 wierd charging issues

Hello,
I have an IPad-2 16GB/WiFi model bought in India. It worked great for a year with iOS 4.x that it came with. After upgrading it sequentially to iOS 7.0.2, it started showing problems - initially a lower battery life, and finally to the current state. It doesn't charge at all !
When I charge it (from normal power outlet), it right away shows battery power as 80% - 100%. While in charging, if I try to perform some operation (anything simple like going to settings and items under it), after a few minutes of usage it crashes (with sudden appearance of momentary grid lines on the screen), and then restarts with the red battery icon, followed by the Apple icon, and it starts showing battery again to between 80% - 100%.
I tried - resetting all the settings from the 'Settings' app, as well as a hard reset of pressing 'home + power' button for 10s, but in vain.
Kindly let me know if you've any solution to this issue.
Can IPad-2 battery be replaced in India after it goes out of warranty period ?
Thanks for your inputs in advance,
MT

IPAD 3 battery charging issues

iPAD 3 battery charging issues. Read most of the discussions. My question is: If I take my iPAD to Apple Genius bar - what's the test they do to qualify for a replacement (do they place it on a charge and see the charge for Y% for X minutes or do they have other methods)

We're iPad users like you, so don't know.
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%.

The new iPad first battery charge issue

I just got the new iPad, I waited for the battery to die and the I let it charge for 14 hours and it only charged from 2% to 37%, then I changed the power cord and the outlet and it took it 5 hours from 37% to 100%. Is this normal? 19 hours from 2% to 100%, seriously? I know that iPads take a long time to fully charge the battery, but I think this is unusual. Thanks already for the answers...

You're welcome. All the USB cords are the same, so it doesn't matter which USB cable your use. The difference is in the Charger the USB cable is connected to.
I don't know if you know this, but the User Guide is conveniently bookmarked in Safari on your iPad. It might help you to read it and I'll bet you'll learn things about your iPad you didn't know. Plus, if you ever get into trouble, you can refer to the guide for assistance.
Take care......

Ipad Mini Retina Charging Issue

Does anyone experience the slight ground of the device when charging?

You can't downgrade the iOS level so forget about that. I doubt that this is due to iOS 8.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

IPad 3 charging issues

I have had my shiny new iPad plugged in overnight with it's included iPad charger (it was displaying some context for some of that).
I have just woken up and it's only at 39%!!!! Now I know that it's meant to take longer to charge but that is unbelievable!?
As I said I'm using the lead and charger it came with, the only exception is I'm also using a usb extension lead inbetween as the plug is quite far away. I used the same lead with my iPad 2 every night and it charged fine and fast.
It also kept displaying not charging when plugged into my PC (which is definitely high powered ports).
Should I be booking a genius bar appointment do you think!?
Thanks!

This is a genuine issue and needs to be addressed.
Yesterday, launch day, I received a white AT&T 32GB 4G version, but I found the color distracting and AT&T lied to me and I got no signal at all where I live. I was actually able to take it to my local store midday and exchange it for a black Verizon model. The Verizon is screaming fast.
Anyway, they both have the same charging issues so this is a definite problem with all iPads, or the iPad chargers supplied. I believe Apple will have to send us all replacement chargers. While using my iPad, even plugged into the 10W charger and with the cellular data radio turned off, doing nothing more than typing on this very forum with all other apps closed, the battery drains at a rate of about 5% every half hour.... WITH THE CHARGER PLUGGED IN! The charger is active and the lightning bolt battery icon is up there. The iPad will only charge when the device is fully powered down. Even if it is in standby the unit will not charge when plugged in. This is either an OS bug that needs to be fixed or the charger supplied is not nearly adequate.
The iPad charger will charge my iPhone 4S rapidly, even when in use. It also charged my previous iPad 2 in a decent amount of time. But this 10W charger certainly does not charge the iPad while on, and the iPad certainly does not get 10 hours of use with or without the charger plugged in,
This is a serious issue and one that needs to be address promptly. Apple needs to send us all higher wattage chargers, issue an OS fix, or take care of whatever the problem is.
They also obviously didn't think the new iPad development through. The unit gets quite warm when in use and quite hot when the cellular is on. Also, the display does not get as bright as the iPhone 4S, and several people at the Apple Store agreed with me on all these issues.
Unless Apple wants to see a lot of returns and unhappy consumers, they need to fix this issue pronto. In the time it's taken me to type this post the power has gone down another 3%, with the charger plugged in and supposedly charging. Something is seriously wrong here.

TS2634 IPAD charging issue?

I have the first IPAD and all of a sudden I cannot charge my IPAD through a electrical outlet. I can only re-charge it through my laptop. Anyone know why and can this be fixed?

Will it charge using the iPhone charger. It's only 5W, so it will charge more slowly.
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.

IPad 2 charging issue after updating to 8.0.2

My iPad 2 is charging extremely slow via wall charger. 1% is literally taking 45-60 minutes.
I didn't have this issue with 8.0.0 or 8.0.1.
I updated to 8.0.2 OTA.
This morning I restored 8.0.2 via iTunes and I am still having the same issue.
Is there anyway I can downgrade to 8.0.0 or 8.0.1?

You can't downgrade.
Try a different wall charger, cable, or outlet to isolate whether it's your iPad or some other component.

Ipad v1.0 4.3 charging issue

After upgrading my Ipad v1.0 to Ios 4.3, I am unable to charge the Ipad to 100%. It's stuck at 59%. Any suggestions?

Ok, ignore the suggestions about checking battery condition and charger etc. I have exactly the same issue on two iPads across 3 chargers since upgrading, I can repeat the problem consistently too. This is most definitely a software bug. If I plug my iPad into a mains charger, I get the charging icon and I hear the signal that suggests the iPad is charging but it doesn't or at least after 24 hours or so it may increase by a few percent. An important thing to note is that when plugging into the power, I do not get the battery level indicator (big green battery) on screen. The ipad also doesnt automatically go to sleep either. To get my iPads to charge I power off the them off whilst still connected. The iPad acts a bit oddly here as it shuts down but immediately reboots. When it restarts it charges as normal.
The tell tale sign to know if your iPad is actually charging is to look out for the battery level indicator graphic to show up when you connect the power.

My 4th generation iPad will not charge; has anyone had this issue?

My 4th generation iPad will not charge; has anyone had this issue?

Yes a number of people have had this issue in the past, alas you are not the first.
You should test with another cable or in another outlet to make sure its neither of those, if not probably take into an apple store.

IPad Mini Charge issue and Other

Alright so here is the deal, A couple of months ago, my apple lightning charge cord was ruined. I have had my iPad Mini for over a year now, so its not like I got it yesterday. I had not had a problem with it with the exception that sometimes videos play the audio normally but the display is like one frame per five seconds. That's besides the point, this morning when I woke up, the battery was at 9% and of course I plugged it in to charge. When I plugged it in, no ding noise to inform me its charging, no little lightning bold near the battery, nothing. nada. zip. I was just about to flip my lid, (Because this is a new charger and no where near as used as the previous) I decided to proceed to my moms room and grab her iPad mini and connect it to my charger. Low and behold, it began to charge. So, I decided, "Ok well maybe there is a connection issue." I took My iPad into her room and connected my iPad to her charger. IT began to charge.
This is extremely annoying, and I decided to connect my iPad to my computer with her cord, to grab my photos. Thinking ahead of time, to say worst case scenario that I would have to restore it or something. Alright, so I was hesitant to connect my iPad mini to my computer since last time, it put a ungodly amount of apps I had not used since three years ago and since then deleted (From my iPod Touch) along with several photos. After this had happened I had deleted the apps, but when I went to delete the photos it would not allow it. I would select and it would not give me the option to delete. Since, I did connect it to the itunes in my computer it did some funky stuff and then when it asked to back up i said "sure back it up from cloud." Cause why not right. It got about halfway through before it said "Oh there is a problem with your crap." To which I reply "Dude come onnn of all days! I just want to relax and listen to music cause I just upchucked twice and dont feel good." The iPad mini didn't care.
All joking aside, I've come to the conclusion that there is something a little more wrong with my device other than it wont charge with the charger I had just bought it, even though it had been charging with it for the last couple of months.

my laptop and my mobile is working,why not ipad mini .......sometimes the name of wifi appers and when i try to enter password of the wifi ,it says sorry unable to join the network ......what is the simple and best solution for this

Does the iPad mini have the same slow charging issues as my "New IPad"?

I'm considering returning my New IPad and purchasing the iPad mini due to the slow charging issues with my New IPad. Does anyone know if the mini has the same issue? Does anyone know if Apple is planning on offering a different charger for the New IPad? I love everything about the New IPad except the charging system. I can't use it as much as I would like to. It's so disappointing!!!!

I also have issues when charging my brand new iPad mini. I got astonished when I tried to charge it yersterday and realized it took more more time to charge than my iPod Touch 4th generation, which really charges very fast! It even did'nt charge completely so when I got home I put mi iPad mini to charge overnight, at about 12.30 AM, when it had about 13% charge left.
This morning I got shocked when I saw at 6 Am that it hadn't charged completely. Just 96%, which means the iPad mini can't be totally charged during a 6 hours charging session. So after reading all these posts I get disappointed with this huge issue for iPad users. How can we endure such a long charging sessions for a device that you normally use all the time. For instance, when you're traveling you always need to charge the iPad very quickly. Just a few travelers would allow their ipads to rule their schedules on such a bizarre way!
I was also worried because I don't live in the States. It was my brother who bought it for me, so taking my device to the Apple Glass Cube in New York or any other retailer or just to have this issue technically solved is a big problem for me! So international customers who think to buy this wonderful mini tablet should consider that such a marvelous device is dealing with an absurd and disappointing big problem related to an aspect customers would hardly imagine.

IPad 3 charging issue... not your normal USB complaint.

So I took the plunge into iPad world and got the 64 gig Verizon 4g version. The night I got it ( Tuesday ) after playing with it for a while, I tried to plug it in overnight to charge it with the AC adapter. It wouldn't give me the charging acknowledgment on screen in the first two wall outlets I tried, finally plugged it into a surge protector and it worked. This being my first iPad I thought maybe it was being finicky about the power. Faster forward to this morning, I forgot to plug it in overnight, and tried every outlet and surge protector in the house, to no avail. I plugged it in using the same cord minus the AC adapter to my PC and got the "Not charging " Message. ONLY after doing this was I able to get this thing to start charging using the AC adapter.
So my question is this.... Is this normal? I really don't want to have some modified OCD dance everytime I need to charge this **** thing.
Is it the iPad itself acting up, which I suspect, or the USB to AC 10w adapter?
Again, first time owner so be gentle.

Sometime the iPad will not indicate it's charging, when using the AC adapter, for the first 15-20 minutes.
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).

IPad won't charge using power adapter but will charge via USB

I have an iPad 1 that recently stopped charging using the power adapter. "Broken power adapter or cable" I thought and reached for a spare that I have. That didn't work either. The original power adapter however DID charge another iPad without any problems, so the problem cannot be with the adapter or cable.
Now this is the wierd bit - using the original cable plugged into my laptop I get the usual "Not charging" message but the iPad DOES charge slowly this way.
I rebooted the iPad, restarted it in recovery mode and restored the firmware, cleaned out the 30-pin connector port - all those useful bits of advice that you find on the internet but all to no avail. The iPad just will not charge using any of the many original Apple iPad charger sthat I have been able to get my hands on but will only charge on an underpowered USB port!
The 30-pin connector must work otherwise it wouldn't charge via USB. Can there be some kind of wierd internal hardware defect that might cause such behavior?
I fear that if I take a 3 year old iPad to the Apple Store they might just give me their best smile and show me the latest iPads but this old iPad works fine otherwise and I don't really want to replace it.
Anyone got any ideas?

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.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
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).

What to Do When Your iPad is Not Charging?

When you first bought your iPad, did you plug it into your PC and become frustrated when you discovered that it wouldn’t take a charge? Were you disappointed to discover that the iPad doesn’t charge through PCs and you have to plug it into the wall to get it to work? Most newer Mac computers (2008 and later) will charge the iPad. However, those of us who have a Mac are not immune to the trials and tribulations of the “Not Charging” message that can appear without warning. For anyone who has experienced, or will experience the “Not Charging” message on their iPad, we have a couple of suggestions.
A couple of weeks ago, I got a “Not Charging” message on my iPad when I plugged it into the 10 watt USB 2.0 power adapter that was plugged into my wall. Surprised by this development, I assumed there was something wrong with my plug and took my third-generation iPad to my office, where I plugged it into my computer and got the same message. “Oh, no,” I thought. Something is wrong. If this has happened to you, don’t worry. Nine times out of 10, there is nothing wrong. You just need to do a little trouble-shooting.
First of all, only plug your iPad into a PC if it is absolutely necessary. It will take hours to fill the battery up and you have to leave it in sleep mode (the iPad, that is). You see, even though your iPad may have a “Not Charging” message, it is charging. It is just doing it very slowly. In a pinch, leave your iPad plugged in, even if you don’t think it is getting a charge. You’ll at least increase the percentage a little.
If you have plugged your iPad into something that has previously worked to charge it, there are a few things to check out before making your Genius Bar appointment. The first, and most obvious is to make sure the power adapter is a 10 watt charger. The iPad, especially the third-generation one, will not charge with anything less than 10 watts. Next, make sure the iPad is properly plugged in (I know it sounds patronizing, but you’d be surprised at how often the problem is just an unplugged power source). Check the connection from the wall to the plug and the plug to the iPad. If you are sure that everything is as it should be, try another socket, and then try another cord. Lastly, plug another Apple device into the same cord. If you’re iPhone charges, but your iPad doesn’t, there may be a problem.
Once you’ve determined that it is not your power adapter, try turning your iPad on and off again. To shut your iPad down, hold the “Home” button and “Sleep” button at the same time for a couple of seconds. When the slider bar appears, slide to shut down the iPad. Wait 30 seconds and turn it back on by holding the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time. When the iPad is back online, plug it in again to see if that fixed the problem.
If you have been able to charge your iPad from your Mac previously, but are suddenly faced with the “Not Charging” message, when you plug it into the computer, check your connection first. Then, make sure the USB cord that you are trying to charge your iPad with is plugged directly into the Mac. Don’t plug the cord into a multi-cord hub that is plugged into the computer or the USB port on the keyboard. The iPad needs a lot of juice. If it is plugged into some third-party source, it may not send the amount of juice needed to charge the device.
If your USB cord is plugged directly into the computer and you still see the message, try blowing air into the iPad’s dock connector. You could also use a folded piece of paper to loosen dust particles. You should also make sure that none of the docking pins are broken. Those tiny little pieces of metal can be snapped off very easily.
There have also been some known issues with external 30-pin devices being plugged into the iPad that cause it to malfunction for a short period of time. For example, if you have recently used the iPad camera adapter, it may cause the device to charge improperly. The best way to remedy that is turning your iPad on and off again. However, sometimes, you just have to wait for it to clear out.
Just to summarize, here are some of the things that may be causing your iPad to show a “Not Charging” message:
Wall socket is bad
Not using a 10-watt power adapter
10-watt power adapter is bad
USB 2.0 cord is bad
Device is plugged into a PC
Device is plugged into a multi-port USB hub or instead of directly into the Mac
Dock connector is dusty
Docking pin is broken
Device was recently used in conjunction with camera adapter.

Thanks for sharing it! great!
