Everytime I turn it on, the screen glows and pops up some kind of notification that the device is connected to a Wi-Fi network. No matter how I try to turn it off, I can’t seem to turn it off. I am certain that the issue is due to my iOS 8.0.
So the problem is that Apple is the only company that seems to think the whole “Wi-Fi issue” is an acceptable excuse to charge your Apple device at full speed. After all, you can charge your iPad at full speed on any network. No worries.
While Apple has been trying to crack down on the Wi-Fi issue over the past 3 1/2 years, the problem remains, and Apple is still charging you for the Wi-Fi (and not just the network) you are connected to. It’s a weird situation. I would have expected that Apple, who is so desperate to sell their devices at a discount, would have fixed this issue years ago and made sure their devices could still work without your Wi-Fi.
The issue is that Apple doesn’t have a good control over their networks. Your Wi-Fi signal can still drop and slow down just like any other wireless network. We have heard of people who can’t charge their iPad at all on the go, but to be fair, its a wireless network, so you have to be connected to one.
So how can you fix this? Well, you can either use a wireless router to connect to your wireless network (there are a few choices, but most routers include one), or you can just buy a new iPad. Either way, you might want to take a look at the new iPad models from Apple and see if you can get the same slow-down.
The slow-down is caused by the iPad going into low-power mode when plugged into a power outlet, effectively turning off the WiFi portion of the wireless network. Theoretically this should only be a temporary problem, but if you’re not careful, you could cause permanent damage to your iPad’s battery life.
The good news is that youre not alone and that someone else is also experiencing a slow-down that is similar to the one that you do. The bad news is that there is now a way to fix the problem via your Apple iPhone or iPad, but the fix is pretty bad. We all know the problem, but it might be as bad as the one that you have because you probably never took the time to research it.
The first thing to know is that your iPhone or iPad battery goes dead pretty quickly, so if you are still using it, you might want to check your battery life and see if it is still showing the same problem. It can be very slow to charge, but that battery life could be reduced without losing your data.
Well, yeah, but the real issue is that there isn’t a lot you can do about it since there isn’t any way to tell when your iPhone or iPad battery is going to die—certainly not before it does.
