RE: Ipad 3

If you're using the Apple supplied iPad charger, then that is
absolutely NOT
the correct behaviour...

Most definitely it should show as charging at all times whilst the iPad
charger is connected, and absolutely should continue to do so whether you
are using the iPad or not... wheterh it stays awake or not depend depends
on
what it is doing... - even if on the charger, if it's just left on a home
screen, it will eventually turn itself off (configurable in settings). If
however it's playing a movie, then it *should* stay awake indefinitely -
until it physically runs out of juice if that's what it takes...

Basically, it should behave exactly as we would all expect it to.

Sounds to me like your charger is FUBAR... - or perhaps your iPad is...
either way, one of them is definitely not behaving...

Subject: [ukha_d] Ipad 3

Hi, I know there is a fair bit of Ipad experience here so I thought I'd ask
a question.  I bought an Ipad 3 (I know I said Never Never Never, but there
you go!) and on the whole I have been pretty pleased with it - there are
some "theological" matters that I have issue with, but I sort of
knew that
when I made the choice.

I do have a problem with the charger - if I connect it the Ipad shows
"Not
Charging" even though it is - albeit pretty slowly - but last night I
got a
low battery warning, so plugged it in and continued to watch a movie and
the
thing ran out of gas whilst plugged into the charger - surely the charger
should be able to keep it awake.  Is this a "feature" I have to
live with or
is there an issue with the output of my charger or Ipad charging circuits?

TIA

Tim.
