Takes longer to charge via magnetic charger than USB

I noticed that it takes longer to charge via the magnetic charger than the USB port. Also, with the magnetic, the phone sometimes discharge faster than it's charging.

Ok but where are you connecting the magnetic cable, are you connecting it to a computer or a wall charger, the magnetic cable has to be connected to a wall charger for it work properly, its the same cable that its in the dock and if you check the manual it does specify to connect it to a wall charger

Battery of new iPad3 updated with iOS6 takes longer to charge

My new iPad3 whose battery was alright when it was running on iOS5. But when I updated the OS to 6, it started taking much longer time to recharge. Is there any suggestion on this issue? Thanks in advance.

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.

After updating to ios 7.1 my iPhone 5s battery *****. It takes longer to charge and shorter to finish.

3 months back I upgraded from iPhone 4s to 5s and realised 4s is a much better phone. It gave me longer battery life of around 8.30 hrs of usage on 2g and 7 hrs on 3G but 5s was giving me only 7 hours of usage on 2g and 5 hours on 3g but since I've updated it to ios 7.1 my battery ***** even more. It takes longer to charge and shorter to drain. Now I get only 4 hours usage on 2g and somewhat 3hrs roughly on 3G and it takes around 3 hours to charge where awe it used to take only 100 minutes perfectly. I don't know what's wrong with apple. I was a huge apple fan when I had my 4s but now I'm disappointed. But worst thing comes last night, I usually lose around 10% due to my network's pop up messages overnight but last night i lost 37%. When I got up and checked usage it shows me 6 hrs 30 minutes usage but I haven't used my phone since I was sleeping. Hope a new update releases soon to patch this but till that some advices on saving battery would be appreciated, thank you.

Please be more specific. What have you tried already? Please follow the below steps as described also in another topic by Nathan.
1. Hard reset hold both buttons until Apple logo appears.
2. Restore from an iTunes sync and backup. This made a difference for a lot of peopel, battery life got much better.
3. Limit push notifications (apps and e-mail accounts - set e.g. e-mail to fetch once an hour) to those you really need.
4. Limit location services to those you really need, and watch to see if the indicator comes up.
5. Get the app System Activity Monitor to look for a runaway process that is using a lot of CPU.
6. Suggestion by others to reset all settings.
7. Suggestion by others that iCloud may be involved, and to try to turn off some iCloud settings.
8. Limit or turn off 'background app refresh'.
9. Add apps back in carefully to identify an offending app that is causing CPU or network activity that kills battery life.
10 Also make sure that e-mail is fetched (e.g. every hour) or set to manual instead of pushed.
11 Do you have a good carrier reception? Have you tried to manual set your carrier within your iPhone instead of the 'automatic'?
12 Have you checked if the timezone is set to manual instead of automatic and see if this makes a difference in battery use?
In my case it was a bug with an app that caused the battery drain. I also noticed that the use and stand-by time were exactly the same which is ofcourse not correct. This was all caused by this app which was using GPS tracking all the time. Unfortunately an app such as System Activity Monitor did not indicate that in my case but someone posted this solution on a Dutch forum that the previous version of the app 'Scoupy' had a bug and caused this battery drain.
If you haven't tried every single one of these, please do not post that battery life is terrible.

Why it takes long time to execute on Production than staging?

Hi Experts,
Any help apreciated on below issue.
I have one anonymous block for updating around 1 million records by joining 9 tables.
This is proceeded to production by following environments. And all env have exact equal volume of data.
development->Testing->Staging->Production.
The funny problem is while it takes 5 mins to be executed in all environments, it takes 30 mins on production.
why it happned and what can be action points for future?
Thanks
-J
==============
If the performance is that different in the different environments, one or more statements must have different query plans in the different environments. The first step would be to get the query plans and compare them to figure out which statement(s) is/are running slowly.
If there are different query plans, that implies that something is different between the environments. That could be any of
- Oracle version
- initialization parameters
- data
- object statistics
- system statistics
If you guarantee that the data is the same, I would tend to expect that the object statistics are different. How have you gathered statistics in the various environments? Can you move statistics from an environment where performance is acceptable to the environment where performance is unacceptable?
I would also recommend following the advice others have given you. You don't want to commit in a loop and you want to do as much processing in SQL as possible.
Justin
===============
Thanks Steve for your inputs.
My investigation resulted following 2 points.
There are 2 main reasons why some scripts might take longer in live than on Staging.
1: Weekend backups were running on the live server so slowing the server down allot.
2: the tables are re-orged when they are imported into staging/Dev – so the table and index layout is optimal, on live the tables and indexes are not necessarily contiguous so in order to do the same work the server will need to do many more I/O operations.
Can we have some action points to address these above issues?
I think if data can be contigous then it may help.
Best Regards
-J
===============
But before that, can you raise this in a seperate thread as there is a different issue going on in this thread?
Cheers
Sarma.

Now, how did you come to the conclusion that the backups are actually making your query slower? What's the benchmark that you lead to this? And what's the meaning of the 2nd point , can you please explain it ?
As others have also mentioned, please post the plan of the query at boththe staging and production, that only can tell that what's going on.

Curve 9300 takes long to charge and discharge in 6 hours without use.

Vodacom South Africa
curve 9300 6.0 with bundle 2949
I got the phone in September. About 4 days ago the battery started to discharge even when I didn't use it. It only hold for about 6 hours. It also takes about an hour and 50 min to charge from 10% to full. I did about 3 battery pulls and it didn't help. I switched the battery with another one. It charges normal in the other phone and my phone does the same thing. I'm using the original charger.
My apps:
AccuWeather
Facebook
Twitter
Flashlight
Google Maps
Groupon
Memory Booster
Opera mini
Photo Studio
Telmap5
TuneWiki
Vectir Wifi Remote Controle
Whatsapp
None of these apps is running.

I noticed today that the charge stays normal for about 6 hours. Then before 7 hours it drops from around 65% to red. I also have signal problems. It shows the cross that there is no signal and then suddenly its full again.

My iPad 3 seems to take forever to charge. It will easily take 6 hours plus to fully charge to 100%, it has always been like this so thought it was normal, however my friends point out it isn't. Does anyone else have similar charging times? Thanks, Claire

Hi All,
I have had my iPad 3 since Feb 2012 and have always commented on it's slowness to charge. I was just wondering if it's meant to take 6 hours plus to charge to 100% or if this is a bit excessive?
As it has always done it, I have never really thought of it but a lot of my friends are now commenting that it's a really long time and it shouldn't take that long.
Thanks,
Claire

Do I get better results/ keeping the battery's life longer by charging only when it comes to 5-10% or should I let it empty and then charge it? Someone told me also to turn it off while I charge it... So help what is the best way to keep long life battery

I got the new iPad on June 2012 and I wish to keep the long life of the battery as much as I can. I always and only use the cable that comes with the product and never charge it through computer.
Should I:
1) wait till baterry is completely empty, pratectly dead and then charge it?
2) charge it when it reach 5%-10%.
3) turn off the iPad when I charge the battery?
Thank you apple support :)

IPad doesn't charge via third party/unofficial USB cables

This is probably said elsewhere but I've realised that my pad will NOT charge via some third party USB cables. It will transfer data and sync with iTunes but will not give any charge either via USB to computer (which is normal as the output generally isn't powerful enough on a laptop) NOR will it charge when the USB is used with the official Apple plug. I need to use the official USB leads with the plug for it to charge.

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 battery fully discharged and now will not take a new charge

I've had this baby plugged in for 6 hours and it won't even charge to 10%. I am using an Apple supplied cord and charger.

Plug the USB cable into your computer. The iPad will say "Not Charging", however, it will charge but slowly.
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%.

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 2 won't charge from ipad charger, but will sync and charge from USB!

Hi
I have been having some issues with charging my Ipad 2 and have searched the internet but can't find a solution.
I can charge and sync my ipad from my computer but it will not charge from the mains charger (2 amp) provided with the ipad. - Therefore there is no problem with either the lead or the pins on the ipad
I know the cable works as it is the one i am using to sync to the PC. The charger also works to charge my iphone. - Therefore no issues with the charger.
I have rebooted the ipad.
I have also restored the ipad back to its orignal settings and restored a back up from Itunes.
All so far have had no effect on using the charger to charge the ipad.
Perhaps a trip to the Istore is the only option?
thanks

Take your iPad, cable & charger to the Apple Store.
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).

IP4 Charging..USB to PC (MAC) vs USB Wall Charger??

Could there be a difference in the way the battery is recharged when charging the IP4 using a USB cable connected to a USB dock, which is connected to a Mac Mini vs charging the phone using the USB wall charger?
Couple days ago my IP4 battery drained normally, indicator went red since it was less that 20% capacity, so I plugged it into a USB cable that I had been using to charge my IP 3G. That cable goes to a USB dock connected to my Mini, my 3G always seemed to charge fine using same calbe...seems the IP4 charged ok as well...though it did seem to take longer for a full charge. I briefly used the phone that evening. When I went to bed, battery was at about 90% charged, almost full charge. Next morning, it was down below 20%. Charged it again next day using USB wall charger, used the phone more last night, but phone was close to 90% available this morning.
I don't believe the previous evening I ran any wacky app or process that could have been running overnight, I checked that first, same few apps I normally used showed.
So, does how the IP4 get charged, USB to PC vs USB to wall outlet make a difference in how the battery charges?

it will take longer to charge on a computer because there is less power going to the phone thats just the way it works
however no matter where you charge it and how long it takes to charge its not going to deplete quicker based on one source or another there must have been something that drained your battery

How long does iPad 3 actually take time to charge ?

It's taking a long time to charge my ipad3. Why is that? The first time I charged it was pretty fast but the second time is taking a long time.
