IPhone 3GS battery not showing low battery and then taking hours to charge

Okay so my battery today was showing that it had full power and gave me no indication that the battery was near dead (ie: saying I only had 20% power left), and then it suddenly died on me. I went and charged it in my car and it charged for over 5 hours and was only at about 90%. It's never done this before, it typically takes at most an hour to charge even from a completely dead battery, and the battery indicator has always showed what the actual power is at. The phone is still pretty new, I bought it in March or April. Any ideas what's causing this, or what I should do? Right now, it's showing me the battery has full life, but I have a battery check app that says it's only at 95%.

It is the nature of the beast. Mine does that too. The charger actually cycles off periodically if the phone is basically idle. If I want make sure I have the maximum possible charge in the phone, I disconnect the charger for several minutes (perhaps using it a bit) and then plug the charger back in. This tops off the battery. I have been able to go as long as three hours with the phone still indicating 100% using this technique. I have no way of knowing for sure, but I am confident this is perfectly normal.
Honestly, I think it is a side effect of being able to turn on the percent view battery indicator. My wife's 3G (non S) does the same thing, but you can't tell because you can't see the percent view. You don't know what you can't see.

Taking hours to charge

I've noticed in the last few weeks my I-pad and new I-phone take hours to charge, has anyone experienced this or aware of what may cause this lag time? Previously, an hour to two hours tops was all it took.

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 (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.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Unsupervising my 30 iPads using the apple configurator is taking hours.

I can't tell if there is an issue or it's just taking a long time. Each iPad had many apps on them. I'd hate to stop the process if it really takes a long time to complete. Thoughts?

If they were assigned to people, it has to make a complete backup of each person's work / documents / pictures. That backup can take a really long time sometimes. I had one user whose backup took over an hour... not sure what she put on there.
Don't forget that you're sending commands to 30 devices through one USB cable. That's a lot of data, depending on what's going on.
If they weren't assigned and you're just unsupervising, it should not take long. Check cables. The unsupervise command doesn't remove individual apps, it restores the iPad to a fresh state - just before first use. That command to reset the device should not take too long. I unsupervised 29 of them today. It took about 20 minutes to finish them all (and a couple had errors). Apple Configurator 1.4 is still flawed, IMHO.

My iPad 4th gen takes 10+ hours to charge!?

My new iPad 4th gen wi-fi takes an extremely long time to charge, upwards of 8-12 hours. I have had no other issues with it so far but I came from an iPad 2 which took maybe 2-3 hours to charge. I am just curious if this is normal or should I consider exchanging it before its too late. Thanks

I've been using my 4th Gen iPad since early January and have to charge it overnight as it takes so long... not just the initial charge... every charge. It's pointless trying to do it during the day as it invariably means I can't use it, without being next to the wall.
I had assumed that the battery in this model is bigger and takes longer. My wife's 2nd Gen iPad charges in only a couple of hours.
I must say i'm impressed with the life of each charge though. My normal use means it generally needs to be charged every 2-3 days.

HT4623 So my upgarde to iOS 6.1.2 in the iPhone is taking hours by Wifi. I was told I can patch the phone to my computer, then upgrade by way of iTunes - How do I do this? The site seems particulalry unhelpful! Thanks to all who respond

So my upgrade of 6.1.2 is taking hours by Wifi. How do I do it throuigh iTunes, patched into my computer? Thanks!

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

HT4946 I am trying to update my Ipad 1 but it is taking hours on the backup - why would this be, how can I make it faster so I can get the latest IOS update?

I am trying to update my Ipad 1 but it is taking hours on the backup, what can I do to make this faster?

I'm thinking that you have a corrupt backup. You can try this if you want to give it a shot.
Without connecting the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. See how many backups you have for the iPad. If you have multiple backups, delete all but one. Click on the backup in the window and then click on Delete.
Quit iTunes, connect the iPad and then try again.

I used my wifi to update to ios 8 after like 4 hours it finished ans in the middle of installing the software it shutdown and everytime i try to open it it shows the itunes logo with the usp cable... any help pls

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

IOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change ?

iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

Downloading and Installing Problem of IOS 4.2 to IPad Wifi 3G 64 GB

Hi there,
I've tried downloading and installing IOS 4.2 trough ITunes to my IPad Wifi 3G 64 GB, but it always failed.
Could someone tell me how to do it? The error message said that it took too long to download IOS 4.2 (12 Minutes) and the server has denied the action.
Thanks.

Hi IIIaass,
I've done as your suggestion. My IPad and IPod Touch have the IOS 4.2 updates now. I'm very happy. Thank you again.
I never thought that I would forget the fact that before downloading some software from Internet, I should disable my antivirus, firewall, anti spyware and cos.
Now, if you don't mind for another question. Do you know why ITunes with Windows 7 has (PC) problem to recognize my whole songs I have in ITunes with Widows Vista (Notebook)? It is around 200 titles, which are missing.

Two iPad 2 IOS 7.1.2: different behaviour with WiFi!

We have two iPad 2, IOS 7.1.2
The first one connects to out WiFi network everywhere around the house:Speedtest 28Mbps in same room as router and 13Mbps in the room with the weakest signal
2nd iPad: 18.78Mbps in same room and no signal whatsoever in room with weakest signal!
I tried all the troubleshooting fixes on the Apple Support pages and nothing helps!
Does anybody have the same problem and do you have any tips?
I don't dare upgrade IOS after major problems with WiFi after upgrade by other users!
Thank you

Siri requires an iPad 3 or newer.

HT4623 i just updated my ipad to ios 8 but i cant connect to wifi network..its says my password is incorrect although i know my password is correct as successfully updated 2 iphones and connected to same wifi network

i just updated my ipad to ios 8 but i cant connect to wifi network..its says my password is incorrect although i know my password is correct as successfully updated 2 iphones and connected to same wifi network

I had the same problem. I reset my network settings as iOS 8 on my iPad 3 seemed a bit slow. When I tried to reconnect to the wifi the correct password was not accepted immediately.
after retrying several times it did manage to join the network. The only observation I had was that I had a weak signal and an iPhone next to me at the time.
make sure you are close to the wifi signal away from any other wifi devices.

Downloaded games from suppliers to iPad - these are now downlighting to iTunes on my m/s computer and taking hours and hours to do so. If I delete them from iTunes will this affect the games now on my iPad? Any advice would be appreciated.

Games downloaded direct to iPad. They are now auto downloading to iTunes on M/s PC and taking hours to do so. If I delete those partially downloaded to PC will it affect those on iPad when I next sync iPad with PC?
Any advice appreciated - thanks.

To start things off, I like to manually manage my media and will insturct you to do the same. To enable doing this, you check off the box for it on your phone's summary on iTunes. Now tranferring media is as easy as dragging and dropping.
(1) To get songs from your phone onto your iTunes, you open up your phone's dropdown menu on the iTunes sidebar and click Music. You can be able to drag music file into your Music folder in the Library section of iTunes. You can also just right click your phone's name and click "Transfer Purchases" if you want to move everything new on your iPhone onto your computer's library.
(2) You open your Music library on your computer and simply drag highlighted songs onto your phone's name on the sidebar. When in album grid view or cover flow, you can click and drag a whole album right on. The downside of manual management is that you can easily accidentally add doubles of songs onto your phone. Of course, if you notice this on your phone, you can just swipe to the right across the song's name and you should have a nice little delete button so you can remove extras anywhere.
(3) I heard about this online and it actually is buried in the Terms and Conditions somewhere. I don't think this rule will apply if you are exchanging the music over your iTunes account devices. I think this applies to buring the iTunes material to CDs. I think these speacial media file can somehow detect what they are moved or copied onto and keep a statistic buried in their coding. This is more of a logical assumption than a fact, but what else could these terms possibly mean? If you want to know more about this, Bruce Willis was having a big arguement about this online because he wanted to give his medie to his children. You can probably find an article about this using those search terms.
I worked hard on this response and would appreciate if you marked it correct if it served as any help to you. Thank you in advance.

If it's showing the connect to iTunes screen then you will need to do that.
But Apple don't provide any method to update the first gen iPad to iOS 5 (nor do they support downgrading the iOS version).
