Actually Peter, Don't suggest my No.2 ... well, not this anyway

Most people run applications and then press the home
button to quit them and run alternative applications, but this does not
fully quit the application. 

Instead, if you want to fully quit an application, press
and hold it until the icon jiggles, and then press the X and the full
application process will shut down.

 

I just checked this and with the iPad iOS4 if you press the X it will
delete the app!

 

Sorry...

Hi Peter,

 

I haven't experienced or noticed any difference since I upgraded my iPad
to iOS 4.2.1

This is strange as he still uses the iPad in the exact same
position prior the upgrade and always had full strength!

 

1. You could suggest he try this:


Bring up the Settings app

 Set "Airplane Mode" on for a short period, then turn it
back off.

 Under "General", choose "Reset" then select "Reset Network"

 Confirm that you want to reset all network settings

 Power the iPad completely off then turn it back on

 



2. The other thing he has noticed is the power consumption
seems to deplete more rapidly as before the upgrade.

Not too sure if this is linked to the multitasking
aspect, he has tried looking at which apps are open and

ensuring that they are closed down just in case that
maybe the issue.

 

2. To see what is running in the background, press the home key twice.
You will see up to four background apps in the bottom of the display,
scroll right to see what else is running. He could be surprised, I know
I was when I checked ;-)


Having multiple applications running at the same time will obviously
drain the battery to a greater extent when the device is in use, but
when the device is in sleep mode, the applications should be suspended;
however, people have found that quitting them all before putting the
device to sleep seems to solve the low-battery-life problem.


It is possible that even though the applications are suspended, their
being active when the device is put to sleep may prevent some hardware
components such as the Wi-Fi adapter from being put to sleep at the same
time. This may result in items like the Wi-Fi adapter staying active
during sleep, and may also be a reason why when people specifically turn
off Wi-Fi before sleep, that the battery level no longer drains rapidly.

Anyone with any similar experiences or explanations since upgrading

Re: iPad OS4.2 upgrade issues

Oh my goodness, I have to stop doing too many things at once.
I didn't press the app when I was in the "what is running in the background" 
mode.

1. To see what is running in the background, press the home key twice. You will 
see up to four background apps in the bottom of the display, scroll right to 
see what else is running. 

2. Then if you press on an app at the bottom of the screen (apps that are still 
running in the background).
It doesn't DELETE the app ;-)

Sorry for the panic, Ronni does tend to go into panic mode sometimes …..

Cheers.

iPad OS4.2 upgrade issues

Hi all, a colleague of mine had an iPad and he has just upgraded his

He really likes the new folder function and multitasking feature!

This is strange as he still uses the iPad in the exact same

Not too sure if this is linked to the multitasking aspect, he

Anyone with any similar experiences or explanations since upgrading
