Using iPhone while plugged in

Is it OK for the battery to use the phone while plugged in as I usually do with my lap top instead of constantly recharging while using the apps?

In the same way you can use TomTom in a car while it's charging through the holder, yes it's fine

Using Iphone while Charging

I was using my iphone 4s while plugged into the wall andi noticed the battery was decreasing. How is this possible if its plugged in?

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.

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.

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.

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).

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!

T430 using battery while plugged in?

I recently bought a refurbished t430 that's still under warrentee, and having a weird problem with it. Under normal use, the battery chargesas it should, but I've noticed while playing games, the battery drains as if it's running on battery power, but without the screen dimming. Has even had or heard of a problem like this? The AC adapter is the 65w lenovo one it's supposed have.

At full load, the power consumption of the system is bound to exceed the 65W the adapter itself can deliver, so it has to draw upon the battery's supply of reserve energy for spikes of power consumption.
If you remove the battery while using the 65W adapter, your CPU will throttle itself to prevent overexertion of the AC adapter.
If you want to be able to run at full speed without a battery or be able to power the system at full load without draining the battery, you'll need to upgrade to a 90W adapter.

Use iphone while on cruise

We are going on a cruise in November. I know the cruise line (Royal caribbean) offers wifi packages (from daily to unlimited per device). I'm hoping to pay for a package and turn cellular off and be able to text and FaceTime (audio or video) using just wifi. Does anyone know if this is possible to do in this situation?
thanks in advance for anyone with help or experience!

Another option you may have is to temporarily suspend service...that would guarantee you won't have any charges for unexpected texts/calls. Might be a little more extreme then you want to do though. Contact VZW for more details on that option if interested. I would echo the idea of just using a camera versus your iPhone unless for some reason you don't own an actual point and shoot camera. You can easily put the pics on your iPhone when you return home from your trip if that is the reason you were really wanting to use the iPhone for picture taking.

Can't Use iPhone when Plugged into certain USB Charger

The screen becomes completely unresponsive: cant slide the 'unlock' button; it behaves really weirdly, erratically. Same with scrolling and choosing podcasts. The behaviour is just weird. This is with a UK 'triangular' USB charger.The cheaper 'egg-shaped' chargers (with the red LED on them) show no such problem. Anyone know what's going on?

Sounds like a damaged device, take it to Apple for evaluation.
If it's under warranty, they will replace it.
If it's not under warranty, an Out of Warranty replacement is $149US.

Can i use my ipad while plugged in

I want to know if using my iPad while it is plugged in will harm the battery. Mainly I would want to use it while plugged in to A/C, but I also would like to know about using it while plugged in to USB. I have the iPad with retina display and the older wide plug.

Won't hurt it. I used mine plugged in all the time.
You do realize, when plugged into USB, you're using as much power as the iPad is pulling from the USB, so basically it'll still drain as you use it.

Is anyone else having an issue with touch sensitivity with ipad air 2 while plugged in?

I'm now up to 8.2 hoping with each update it will be fixed. I use my ipad a lot, so sometimes during the day I have to use it while plugged in. You can't even type an email. It drops keys, jumps keys, doesn't respond to touch, and just acts really sluggish. You have to unplug it to type and then plug back in when you're done. Unplugging fixes it instantly. I don't get it. I've read others experiencing this, but I haven't heard about a fix. Anyone?

Are you using an Apple charger?
It may be a current issue from your power outlet. Try changing outlets & charging it plugged into its own receptacle.
I do not have the issue on my iPad Air 2, iOS 8.1.3.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

Can I use my iPad Mini while plugged in thus keeping the battery at 100%?

Can I use my iPad Mini while plugged in thus keeping the battery at 100%?
Or must I use it on battery all the time?

Copied from Texas Mac Man ...
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%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
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.
