My IPad discharges even in sleep mode

My ipad2 discharges even in sleep mode. What can be the problem?

There are a few things that can run battery down.
Make sure Bluetooth is off.  (Each time you allow location settings in an app, it turns Bluetooth back on)
If wifi connection is weak and the iPad searches for connection, that can run it down.  Update or replace your router.
Close apps running in the background.   Double click the home button, swipe pages up to close app.
Change notification settings so they are less often, manual.
Put your iPad in airplane mode when away from wifi connection.

  • I have the new iPad. Even with airplane mode on, my battery life is extremely limited. Is there a problem with the battery? I used to have the ipad2 and had no such problem.

    What is your brightness setting & how many apps are open?
    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%.

    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.

  • Does your Wifi drop when your iPad mini went into sleep mode after upgrading to iOS 7?

    Dear iPad mini users, to those who have upgraded to iOS 7 like I did, do you experienced WiFi drop when your iPad is in sleeping mode? I noticed this problem only few days after upgrading my iOS. Initially I don't think there is such issue. After your iPad mini recover fom sleep mode, then it will automatically connect to WiFi again. My point is it no longer connected to WiFi in sleeping mode and so could not keep me up-to-date with my mail if I am on WiFi.
    Do share your view and if there is a solution, do share with me please. I have tried almost all solutions available online but no no avail. At the moment, I am activating my 3G network so that when mail came in, my iPad will notify me even during its sleeping mode but this is getting expensive considering I am using the 3G 24 hours every day now.

    I found an solution. Go to Settings/Mail, Contact, Calendar/Fetch new data and than enable Push and choose to fetch hourly or every 30 minutes. In this case your iPad will stay connected to wifi even when smart cover is closed. If you select Manualy than wifi connection will be terminated when in sleep mode.

  • Encore WT8 - battery discharging during the sleeping mode

    My battery is discharging during the sleeping mode.
    If I sleep the tablet with battery fully charged then battery is fully discharged after 14h.
    I suppose that must be something wrong with it. I cant find any option to activate functionality to switch off (hibernate) tablet when it is not used in sleeping mode for particular time.
    Do you have any solution or advice what I should do to change energy consumption during the sleeping mode?

    Hi
    The system supports connected stand by function which starts working after your tablet goes into sleep mode.
    Connected standby function is to provide a constant connectivity while delivering long battery life and at the same time some activities are allowed to run to ensure that the supported connected standby scenarios (for example receiving emails, updating tiles alive with fresh content, downloading/uploading a file from a/to a website and playing music) are functioning properly.
    What does this mean?
    This means that even if the tablet is set into Sleep Mode, some background processes are still running and this could be the reason why the battery discharges.

  • My iPad 2 was in sleep mode.  When it came back on everything was red and the contrast was terrible.

    I Have an iPad 2 16g which is 31/2 years old.  I am on IOS 8.1.2.  My iPad was in sleep mode for a couple of hours.  When I turned it back on, everything has a bright red hue and the contrast is terrible.  I have tried all the things in Accessibility, but nothing seems to help.  I don't know what other information may be needed to help.  Please let me know how to help figure out what is going on.  Thank you.

    Try the following:
    1. Reset
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo
    2. Restore:

  • My iPad randomly goes into sleep mode while I am using it?

    All of a sudden, when ever I use my iPad 2 it goes into sleep mode. It did it three times while I typed this message.  As I am running an app it will just go into sleep mode with out me doing so and I have to press the home button to wake it up. Doesn't matter what app I am running. I have 4gb of storage available.  Most of the time it brings me back to the app I was using when it went to sleep.  Has anyone else suffered this issue. I am running the latest iOS 6.0. 

    What "issue"? This is perfectly normal. By default, all (fairly-recent) Apple products will go to sleep if left idle for a certain period of time. This is NOT normal, however, if in the app, you are pressing buttons on the screen. If you are doing something like reading, for example, try setting your iPad to not go to sleep that quickly.
    (Google how, I don't completely remember.)

  • Was using Ipad and put in sleep mode and it has shut down and wont turn back on

    I was using my Ipad last night and put into sleep mode when finished.  Was charged at 98% and now will not turn back on.  I have tried resetting but nothing works.

    Resetting like this?
    Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen Then let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.

  • Smart Cover doesn't put iPad into Sleep mode in Unlock position after iOS 8.3 update

    Prior to the iOS 8.3 update, closing my Smart Cover would put my iPad into Sleep mode when in the Unlock position.  Since the update, this function no longer works in the Unlock position.  In the Lock position, I hear the click and the iPad does go into Sleep mode.  Since I am the only one using my iPad, I don't need it locked when at home.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    hi guys. i'm back.
    i solved my problem. i refer my iphone 5 to a local distributor. a repairman checked my iphone and i described my problem. he checked my battery. it was fine! then after an hour excavation around hardware solution he told me that the charging kit crashed because of heavy mobility usage!
    yes. i did not covered my phone with any cover. the cpu pressure by ios update crashed the kit! now my phone get back after the kit changed and work finally. i restored my phone to ios 8.2 now.
    i'm going to buy new iphone. but i'm really confused if such this issue really happened for iphone 6 too!!!!!
    i'm totally disappointed .

  • How to continue scheduled sync even when application in sleep mode

    Hi All,
    How can we make sure our application will continue to be active even in sleep mode?
    I am assigned a feature for our iOS Mobile application that can periodically update user's current geolocation onto remote database.
    It works fine when the mobile devices are in activate mode. The timer expire event fired -> grab newest geolocation -> send to database.
    However, it did not work at all when devices went into sleep mode. Depending on when/where the devices went to sleep, the code stopped at different points. Like, The timer expire event never fired. The synch with database stops in the middle. The sniffer gps events never return. etc.
    I tried to use NativeApplication.nativeApplication.executeInBackground = true as mentioned in (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4386837). However, my flashbuilder compliented can not find this executeInBackground property. (my flash builder is 4.6, air application is 3.1). I tried with -swf-version=16 and with air application set as 3.3 and did not help.
    First question: will executeInBackground be the right solution for solving my problem? From document, it sounds like the continue executation is not garanteed.
    Second question: For executeInBackground issue, How can I pass the runtime error.
    Third question: Is there any better way to implement this type of activities?
    Thanks in advance,

    If you want to let it sleep, and you are connected via ethernet, you could use WakeOnLan. If you want to print and the server is sleeping, you can wake it up over ethernet.

  • Ipad    sleep mode? Or power off?

    just curious to see if users are leaving their ipads on but in sleep mode or completely shutting them down when not in use? And does leaving it in sleep mode for a long period adversely affect the ipad?

    I have only turned mine off once in the two weeks I've had it. Others have reported that they turn it off to keep from having WiFi problems. I've been fortunate I suppose. Taken it on a business trip, used several different hotspots and haven't had a problem.

  • Wifi turns off in sleep mode.

    So I have a wifi only iPad mini and I notice that wifi turns off automatically while sleeping, preventing push notifications from working. How can I be wifi to stay on all the time?

    Connect to the wall socket for power supply, that way Wi-Fi will stay connect even in sleep mode.

  • Satellite P200D-11R sound and graphics crash after waking up from sleep mode

    Hi,
    I am wondering if anyone here has had similar experiences to mine (below) or can offer any solutions.
    I have upgraded my P200D-11R OS to Vista 64 Ultimate to take advantage of the extra performance. I also add that the BIOS has already been updated to version 1.4.
    Well, everything works fine with the standard 2Gig of RAM which the laptop was supplied with originally, however, when I upgrade the RAM to 4Gig (2 x 2GB Samsung 667mHz modules), sound and graphics problems appear every time the machine is brought back from sleep mode.
    The sound card makes a very laud fuzzy noise every time it wants to play a sound and the graphics produce lots of horizontal lines on the screen. I then just have to restart the machine which means loosing all my unsaved work.
    Everything works fine as long as the machine does not enter sleep mode. I have currently disabled the sleep mode to prevent the machine from entering it but I am finding life very hard without it.
    I am very surprised and also disappointed at the fact that Toshiba did not test these machines with Vista 64 Ultimate and 4Gig of RAM!
    Extra info:
    The memory is the same Samsung type as the 1Gig modules supplied by Toshiba originally with the machine, and the part number Toshiba recommends.
    I have tried installing other (more recent) device drivers by Realtek and ATI without any improvements.
    The memory modules pass all tests and are not defective. They have also been tested on my friends Dell notebook with no problems even in sleep mode.
    I have installed my friends Dell 2Gig memory modules in my P200D and they too produce exactly the same results with post-sleep crashes.
    My thoughts are that this must be another BIOS issue unless anyone can shed some light on the issue from another angle.
    Please help! Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Sascha
    Since you are running a Vista 32bit version, the upper limit of the memory recocnised by the machine is 3.2gb which is the maximum a 32bit operating system can address and use. The diffrence here is that I also upgraded my OS to Vista Ultimate 64bit to get yet better performance out of the 64bit dual AMD processor.
    3.2gb of RAM on 32bit OS does not necessarily increase the performance. However, it keeps the performance stable when you open many more programs at the same time since the machine has more RAM to play with before staring to use the much slower hard drive as operating memory (Page File), to keep all thoes open programs running.
    A 64bit OS such as Vista Ultimate 64, recognises the whole 4gb of RAM and much more (for instance, 8gb with 2 x 4gb RAM modules). The 64bit OS itself would generally consume more RAM to start with, however, with 4gb I found the general performance to be much better. Going back to the problem however, my P200D-11R with Ultimate 64 and 4gb RAM refuses to wake up from sleep mode gracefully and the graphics and sound crash every time, forcing me to restart.
    My feelings at present is that eventhough your machine may be slightly different, I bet if you upgrade your OS to 64bit, the machine will start recognising all of the 4gb of RAM and post-sleep crashes will start to appear!

  • IPhone 5 battery draining after iOS 6.0.2 update even on standby mode without wifi/ 3G at all.

    My newly bought iPhone 5 was on iOS 6.0.1
    everything worked fine and i had no wifi nor battery issues at all until I upgraded it to iOS 6.0.
    i noticed some battery drainage even when i'm not using my phone at all it still drains 1-2% on standby mode with no wifi nor 3G at all in an hour,
    If i use wifi it'll drain 4-5% in a few minutes time, more serious case when i use 3G, it's literally draining in EVERY SINGLE MINUTE.

    Per designed, Wi-Fi will disconnect in sleep mode to save battery.
    If you want Wi-Fi to stay connected even in sleep mode, plugin to a wall power socket.
    No it's not "per design". It's not supposed to disconnect when locked/in sleep mode. The whole concept of having live notifications to work when your phone is locked is the standard for smartphones. Having this feature only accessable when pluging/charging the phone is rediculous and counter-productive. But it's good to know that I'm not the only one who has this issue. I hope all our issues are solved swiftly, good luck to you all

  • Does the USB port provide power in sleep mode?

    Subject pretty much says it all... curious as to if the USB port will continue to provide power to a connected device even in sleep mode?
    I can find some info on the G5 iMacs that say they did not, but can't find anything on the Intel iMacs.
    Specifically, thinking of buying an iPod Nano and wondering if it will charge it while sleeping.

    Regarding Apple's document, it is interesting to note:
    Your computer goes to sleep
    Your computer can only charge iPod when it's turned on and not asleep. Make sure your computer on and is not set to go to sleep when you want to charge iPod.
    Tip: Some Macintosh computers can charge iPod even though they're asleep. If your sleeping computer doesn't charge iPod, don't worry, just wake it and let iPod charge.
    Apple doesn't specifiy which computers are capable of this however so I wouldn't bet on it.
    Of note, the USB port must provide a very small amount of power not only, I would think, to allow the keyboard/mouse to wake the Mac but also to light the LEDs of my bus powered (not AC powered) Macally hub which remain constant as long the Mac is on (sleeping or not). That also applies to the USB charger that came with my Kensington Wireless keyboard (although I have not tried charging while in sleep mode). That being said, the power - no doubt - is minimal.
