Using IPad while charging

When using the IPad all day it is best to keep it connected to the main charger, or use it on battery until the 5% left warning comes up? And then stop working and recharge?

It will not hurt anything at all if you use the iPad while it is charging. On some weekends, my iPad is not unplugged for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time and then I will put it back on the charger. You cannot overcharge the battery. It stops charging when it has reached a full charge.
Charge it when it is comfortable for you to charge it - whenever it needs a charge.

    Is it bad to use iPad while charging?

    No this is not a problem. But you should be charging the device using the charger that came with it and have that lugged into a known good wall outlet.

  • Using phone while charging

    should the iphone be used while it is plugged in the computer charging or on the dock? will it damage the phone? should i wait until it is fully charged each time before using it?

    There's nothing wrong with using your phone while it's plugged in to charge. All it might do is increase the charging time a bit. But in essence, using it while charging isn't a bad thing. I've heard though, that you don't want to make a habit of it. But that was on older phones, when batteries were a lot touchier.

  • Listening to music/using apps while charging?

    Hey guys,
    was wondering if it's a good idea to listen to music or using apps while charging. Any recorded crashes related or is it detrimental to the battery?

    It's fine to do that, and actually extends your battery lifespan, since battery lifespan is limited by the number of charge cycles, and the more time spent on AC power, the fewer charge cycles.

  • IPad goes crazy when using it while charging

    Hi, these couple of days my new iPad started to act weird whenever I'm using it while the charging port is intact with my new iPad. Which means that it is not responding to my touches when the charge port is intact and reacts normally when I pull out the charge port. This is the first time it is happening after using it for a couple of months. The weird reactions are such that i can't type or touch at the correct location as it goes else where. It changes my pages, goes blank enlarge my page and becomes jumpy. It's getting annoying as it is not functioning the way it Shd be whenever the charge port is intact. It goes back to normal when I unplug it. I have actually taken a video on this issue and i can send the video to you via youtube if you require. Please advise. Thanks

    If the reset does not help, then transfer all purchases to iTunes on your computer, next backup the iPad to your computer and then restore the iPad with the backup.

  • Does anyone have problems with the lightening to USB cable when charging from an outlet? After 6  months of use, it seems to wear out as a result of twisting caused by using the iPad while charging?

    Does anyone else have problems with the lightening to USB cables, particularly the longer version, when using the iPad and charging at the same time?
    If so, am I doing anything wrong?

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee

  • Hi i have a proplem.yesterday i was playing on my ipad while charging it and then it turned off because the charge ended then i slept and kept in the charger all night ...when i woke up i found it still turned off now it keeps show logo then turn of.

    yesterday i was playing on my ipad while putting it in charger and then it turned off because the charge ended..then i left it chargingall night long and when i woke up i found my ipad doing this it keeps showing the logo then displays the lock screen and very fast it show circle with points moving then it shuts down and displays the battery empty but charging...it keeps doing this non stop how to open my ipad again !! Help!!sorry for very bad english

    First try a reset, by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    If that fails, you can try restoring the iPad using Recovery Mode.

  • Batteries and using iPad while plugged in

    I read somewhere on the Apple site about optimum iPad battery care and longevity, and also read that it is okay to use the iPad while plugged in.  However the other day I was told that using the iPad while plugged in is detrimental to battery life.....being able to use it without being plugged in is of course huge, but occasionally we like to use it without draining the battery (say before a road trip).....
    Can anyone offer any definitive advice on this?
    Thanks

    I'm not aware of anything that says that it can't be used whilst plugged in - I use mine whilst charging it and there are other people on here who have said that they leave their iPads plugged in all day whilst using it on and off and I havn't seen anybody posting about issues after doing so. This page has tips about maximising battery life, and if there were any issues about it then I would have expected them to be on there - all it says is about charge cycles :
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

  • Will using iphone while charging use up battery cycle?

    battery capacity decreases as we repeat charging / using the phone.
    but what if we use it while it is being charged? will it just use power from
    the power source or charge+use up batter at the same time?
    i hope it can just use draw power from the external power source and leave
    the battery alone if it's full, then I can just use bluetooth and leave
    the phone in the dock to not waste battery cycles.

    There are two issues here. A cycle is the EQUIVALENT of one complete use of the battery from fully charged to depleted. But it can take place over multiple uses and charges. There is no way to avoid using cycles (or portions of them) other than leaving the phone plugged in all the time. Which brings us to issue two:
    The worst thing you can do to your battery (other than letting it get very hot) is to leave it plugged in all the time. This is not because it will overcharge. As others have pointed out, the phone is smart enough to prevent overcharging. But li-ion polymer batteries like to get some "exercise" to say fresh. Apple recommends the equivalent of at least one cycle per month. If it's plugged in constantly, it will not get enough exercise and its capacity will diminish.
