Using iphone while charging in home or car??

Could that create any battery problems if done daily? I use the phone off and on for about 6 hours and the battery takes a dive then. I have to start switching off the wifi as I am not in that environ most of the time. Thanks!

If you think about it, keeping the phone plugged in limits the amount of cycles on your battery so that's a plus. If your phone is dead after 6 hours of off and on use (not solid talk time) and plummets from some battery to none, then you might want to talk to Apple. Otherwise I would recommend NOT USING a case while talking with the charger connected because charging tends to heat up electronics and heat is an enemy of battery life. Of course after a short while the relevant question will become 'Why is the phone cable so short?????'
Most of my electrical receptacles are at ground level, not into talking while laying on the floor. Just odd, considering the possible lengths of USB cables and the fact that some thought was put into the iPhone cable (no squeeze locks).
I always want my electronic devices charged up, I don't see that as unreasonable so I'd say you're fine as long as the device doesn't get extremely hot.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone !

    I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone so I am very terrible to input my IDs and Passwords with my hands on FireFox Home when I log into Facebook, Twitter etc... Is it issue or something like that? If you have some solutions to make it clear, can you tell me how to syncronize memorized IDs and Passwords for the webs. Thank you.

    You can look in Tools > Options > Sync

  • I am using iphone 4 and my home button repsonds slow

    I am using iphone 4 and my home button repsonds slow

    Hi Naveedfrombangalore.
    You're almost definitely correct, this is a hardware issue. What to do about it?
    1. If your phone is still under warranty, you could get it replaced at an Apple Store. Their warranty covers hardware issues such as this one. It is known to them that the home button can wear over time and become less responsive to touches. A Genius may try to remove some grease and gunk, if that doesn't work and your phone is under warranty... you get a new iPhone!
    2. If your phone is not under warranty, you may decide you want to just live with the minor hardware issue. IF the day comes when you decide you cannot live with the issue, there is a little-known software work-around built into the iPhone called AssistiveTouch that simulates the clicking of the home button.
    It i accessible by going to Settings -->  General --> Accessibility --> AssistiveTouch --> On.
    It's not ideal, but that could hold you over until you upgrade or replace your phone.

  • 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.

    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 iphone while carplay is on

    hi there, I was thinking about buying a Pioneer aftermarket car stereo in order to use CarPlay, but I got stuck with a doubt:
    is it still possible to use the iPhone while CarPlay is on? I mean, can I use whatsapp or facebook or any other app that won't go on carplay's display? 'cause this would mean having half the functions of the iphone. you could say I shouldn't chat on whatsapp while driving, you're right, but what if someone on the passenger seat wanted to use my phone?
    thank you

    Only people driving the new Ferrari can answer this one.
    CarPlay is not available anywhere else. It hasn't been released for any other car. Pioneer has not released the update for their head units that is supposed to support it either.
    At this point, CarPlay is totally MIA. Apple removed the "Coming 2014" from their website too. So if/when it will arrive is anyone's guess.
    Believe me, I know all about the wait. I bought a 2014 Civic in February in expectation of CarPlay. It's the car that's dashboard is used on the CarPlay website for most of the pics. Honda and Apple still haven't released anything or said a word.
