Ipad battery drain

ipad battery drains even when sleeping after upgrade to ios 7. I've turned off app refresh and notifications. What else can I do?

I done a few changes on my iPad 4 and battery will not drain much during sleep now:
1) change wallpaper from dynamic to static
2) disable background update
3) done a reset by holding power button and home button together.
Hope above can help.

  • My ipad battery drains much faster after iOS 7 upgrade

    my ipad battery drains 4x faster after ios7 upgrade.....how do I fix this? 

    Dig into your settings. iOS7 defaults a lot of stuff on that you may not need. Such as tons of notifications, background app updates, background app refresh. Turn extra stuff off and see if that helps.

  • IPad battery draining quickly - tried everything, please help!?

    Ive noticed recently that my iPad battery is rapidly draining.  I've even noticed a 20% decrease just overnight while locked, which has NEVER happened.  I've googled and research and tried everything possible.  So does anyone have some options I might be missing?
    Using 7.1.2, iPad 2.

    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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    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%.

    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.

  • IPad battery drains

    I usually leave my iPad on the charger overnight so that it is fully charged in the morning.
    On the odd occasion, although the charger is plugged into the mains I forget to switch the socket on. Surprisingly the battery is completely flat in the morning.
    I know how to solve this. Switch the socket on!
    What puzzles me is that the battery drains away. Why and how?  If it were not on the charger the battery level would not change.

    There can be stuff running in the background that drains your battery. Such as background app refresh and background app update.  They can be running and you don't even realize it.
    There's also a ton of notifications that default to on that you may not need. t urning those off may help.

  • Ipad battery drained and won't turn on

    My iPad's battery drained yesterday and it's been charging now with a guaranteed working charger for about 24hrs and still won't turn on, it keeps on turning on for about one second and then draining it's battery... Again, what do i do?

    Have you tred resetting it while it is plugged in?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • IPad battery drained overnight after downloading iOS7, why?

    I downloaded iOS7 on my iPad2 on Thursday 19 September. Everything worked fine after the download. When I opened the iPad on Friday morning, there was no battery life left. Am now charging it up, but don't know what caused this. Any suggestions?

    No it doesn't need to be, but if it is on and isn't be used then it will drain the battery, likewise so will these:
    Wifi
    Celluar data - if applicable to your iPad
    Location Services
    Also of note is the following Settings>General>Background App Refresh - this is a new feature which can also use up additional battery power.

  • IPad battery drained overnight; now it won't charge; what do I do?

    My iPad (first issue) drained overnight and now it won't charge. Totally dead.
    What shall I do?

    Hello Christie,
    With it still plugged in, try a hard reset to see if that helps.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may or may not work the first time around, so be sure to try this at least a couple of times.

  • First off, i think it's sad that i have to use my non apple device to post this question... Why has my iPad become absolutely useless after updating to iOS 8.1? I am unable to use my mini because it crashes, slow performance, major battery drain.

    Restore iPad to Factory Default; do not restore from backup. It may be the cause of the problem.

  • IPad iOS 6.1.2 update causing excessive battery drain

    I have noticed in other discussions that a number of iPhone users have experienced excessive battery drain after updating to iOS 6.1.2.
    I am now experiencing this problem in a big way after updating to iOS 6.1.2 on an iPad 3.   Prior to this update, my battery life was very good, dropping to only 70% to 80% at the end of a typical day of use.
    After the update, which was said to be to fix a previious Mail Exchange battery drain issue (one that I was not experiencing), my battery was dropping to 30% after a few hours.   It was literally like holding a bucket with a hole in the bottom and watching the water drain out.
    I noticed that my Usage time and Standby time were identical, even though the ipad had been in sleep mode much of the time.   This indicates to me that something about this patch is causing the iPad not to actually sleep when in sleep mode.
    The iPhone discussion forums point to a number of possible fixes, including uninstalling all emails and re-installing them all the way to a total erasure and reinstalation of everything.  This worked for some, but not for all victims of this problem.
    Until Apple recognizes this problem and sends out another update, one less painful solution that worked for me was to change all of my email accounts from Push to Fetch every 15 minutes.   This has stopped the problem for me, for now. so I wanted to share this in case anyone else is experiencing similar problems.
    If other community members have discovered other short term or long term fixes then please do post here.
    Apple, I await an update that will allow me to restore Push functionality, or instructions on what steps will work to properly restore full functionality (what to remove and reinstall etc).

    Just to confirm that I have the same problem.  I updated to iOS6.1.2 on Friday 1 March 2013, I have an iPad2.  And Saturday morning my iPad was 0% after having nodded off on a 78% full battery.  This has NEVER happened before, and has become a daily occurrence.  I have now amended my Mail to fetch and hope it works.

  • Is there a fix for battery drain on ipad 2 IOS 5.0.1? drain from 100% to 70% in less than 20min had it on playing music with display off

    is there a fix for battery drain on ipad 2 IOS 5.0.1? drain from 100% to 70% in less than 20min had it on playing music with display off

    About all that can be suggested is to use the feedback form and talk to Apple. They have communicated with some users, trying to get more info to find out just what the battery drain is so they can fix it. Unfortunately with the myriad of operating systems, apps and individual tweaks, there could be several combinations of settings that are draining the battery.
    My personal suspicion is that it has something to do with iCloud and the wifi syncing. (My ipad, before I changed the setting, was reaching out to find a sync on a regular basis. And it may still be doing so, however I set my iTunes to not automatically open to keep my device from trying to sync several times in an evening...not to mention the constant aggravation of iTunes opening regularly)
    That said, I could be wrong and it could be an app that users have in common, or several apps.

  • IPad 2 battery drain after iOS 5.0.1 update!!!

    iPad 2 battery is draining way too fast after the 5.0.1 update - I've lost over 10% just browsing the apple site over wifi for about 10 minutes - with no other apps running. NOT ACCEPTABLE APPLE!!!
    Same issue with my iPhone 4 that went from 62% when I went to bed last night to completely dead this morning - unused!!
    Apple - roll 5.0 back out to replace this battery leech. I need to be able to actually USE my products.

    Same issue here! I've been reading on my fully-charged iPad and the battery is down to 78%. Never did this before the latest update. Yesterday, iPad quit before my usual evening reading!  Any solutions!
    I have personally seen the problem and corrected it on numerous models now including the 4S, 4, 3GS and iPad 2s.  Corrupt system level settings created by an iOS 5 bug in the original release that caused battery recalibration issues, etc.  Just installing the update does not fix the issue in most cases (sometime it initially can be worse).  You need to clear out those settings and recalibate the battery.  For those still having the "standby battery drain" issue follow the procedure below in order.  It does fix the problem in most cases.
    Go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
    1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
    2. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). At this point, Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
    3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd
    4. Fully discharge battery  (tilll it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
    5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
    In my experience this improves the Standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases.  It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple.  Good Luck!

  • Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery?

    Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery? We use an ipad cart at school, and some of the teachers will connect all the ipads up to the cart, but then neglect to power up the cart. The laptop with the cart has already had the battery wrecked because of this (within a two month period), and I am concerned the ipads may have an issue if this continues to happen. I need some reassurance before I make the other teachers paranoid!

    ok this one is kind in the gray area for me. I say if it is plugged in to a power up cart but not plugged in to a outlet, then all is is doing is not charing, and of course lossing a charge over time in standby, not really causing any issues. User guide and apple sites say it will drain the battery life.
    Important: The iPad battery may drain instead of charge if iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, to a USB hub, or to the USB port on a keyboard.
    however “Battery life” means the time your iPad will run before it must be recharged.
    so I think it will be ok, as long as you charge it as usaul it should be fine.
    just use these links for and understanding for batteries and the ipad, of course the user guide.

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
    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.)

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 3 very hot w battery drain when streaming AirPlay!

    Why does my iPad 3 get very hot and battery drains very quickly only when streaming with AirPlay?

    Just in case anyone else is experiencing the same or similar scenario that I was (see first post), turns out that the Apple Care Geniuses determined that the PMU (Power Management Unit - I think the "U" is for "unit" anyway), was corrupted or not working properly, so too much power was being used for tasks that shouldn't have used up so much power.
    They replaced my unit, it may or or may not be a refurbished unit, although it looks new and was manufactured on a later date than the one I brought in.
    The Geniuses were very helpful and didn't just turn me away saying to "turn down the brightness or turn off WiFi when not in use" which I do anyway.
