Re: [Poll]Initial reaction to new iPad It has to be sucking down so much power for the screen. I have this plugged in to AC and just web browsing and it's losing battery.
Are we going to have to turn this damn thing off to charge it?

What are the options for the radio? Do you have control of what is being used? Can you enable/disable WiFi or LTE separately? Is 3G-only an available option? |

You can disable LTE to pass to 3G or disable all carrier transfer.
I set it to wifi only and it's still bleeding... |

kudos:1 | I read where someone else had the same issue, but they were using an iPhone charger instead of the new iPad charger. When they switched to the correct charger, it seemed to fix the problem.

I'm confident that you are aware of all of this, but I just wanted to point out that at least one person's new iPad will charge when plugged in and turned on.
Maybe your cable or charger is not working correctly? Could they have put the wrong charger in your iPad box? |

Is there a voltage difference between the iPad and iPhone charger? |

I started playing with mine at 9 AM and it is now midnight and I am down to 1% (I like to fully discharge new devices before the first charge). Granted, I did have to get some work done today but I spent plenty of time browsing the web and downloading apps with 4G LTE. Pretty impressive battery life IMO.
This is my first apple device and I have to say, I am very impressed.

Yes I am using the 10 watt charger.
Took overnight to charge. Wonder if it's defective? |

Went to the Apple Store Was playing around with the new iPad at my local Apple Store fore about an hour, during which time the battery went from 76% to 73% (while remaining plugged in of course.) Also it got pretty warm on the underside. Later I snooped around to see how the other unattended display models were holding up, and found a range from 60% down to 14% charged. All the units were set to maximum brightness, whereas Apple runs their own tests set between 70% and 50%, IIRC. I'll leave the analysis to you guys.
BTW, Safari looked kinda different on the new iPad, had a charcoal theme rather than silver, so am assuming it is not the same version as included on the recently released iOS 5.1 for the first two generations? |

I always fully discharge as well. I'm going to see how long it will take to fully charge. |

Battery life is unbelievable on this thing. I fully discharged it yesterday, then gave it a full charge overnight and fired it up at 8 this morning. I had to work for 3 hours today but have pretty much been surfing on it all day and all night besides my work time, cooking supper and jumping on my desktop for about a half hour. It is right at 2 am and I still have 38% battery left. Very impressive.

I did a full discharge to where the new iPad powered off and couldn't power up. I put on the charger and it went to 100% in 5.5 hrs. |
|
| Yep, that is on par with what I am seeing as far as charge time.

Tulsa, OK | I drained mine last night. Fell asleep so I don't know how long to full charge.
But I did check the first hour at 27%.
Wifi on.

Still using iPad2, think I'll skip this new version but wanted to pass on this tip to save a bit of batt. power.
If you're not using LTE while at home, switch on Airport mode and then log back into your wifi network. This prevents the cellular antenna from wasting battery by searching for a signal. |
