I don't think the one time overcharge will do any harm to your brand new iPad, anyway you can refer this thread for more information regarding about the iPad Battery: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1910597

Cheers!

any evidence for this? i plan to update to iOS 5.0 since tinyumbrella won't do with 4.3.5 anymore.

Nope. You cannot upgrade to iOS5.0 once Apple stops signing the firmware even if you do have the SHSH for iOS5.0. Once you missed the signing window for iOS5, that's it ...

So the choice was to upgrade to iOS5.0 while Apple was still signing it and wait for the jailbreak to come out OR sticking to a perfectly working 4.3.3 untethered jailbreak ... I chose the latter.

Cannot update to iOS 5 but can update to 5.0.1?

Yep, that's the case for now.

Tumpang tanya, you mentioned that for ipad2 it takes around 4 hours+ for 0% to 100%. Is there a big difference between charging times for ipad1/2?

My Ipad 1 takes around 6-7 hours for 10% -> 100%, charging it with the wall ac power adapter.

so guys now which one is the best selection?
upgrade from 4.3.5 to ios 5??cox some say cant upgrade to 5.0.1....
im confuse..><

Since yours are iPad 1, battery degrading maybe or not that may caused the charging time but there are some tasks that you need to follow in order to preserve the lifespan of your battery. Here are the instruction how to preserve your iPad lifespan and may reduce your iPad charging time taken from Apple website:

Optimize Your Settings
There are a number of iPad settings you can adjust to minimize power consumption and extend battery life, including screen brightness. These tips may help extend your battery life.

Adjust brightness: Managing the screen brightness is the best way to extend iPad battery life. By default, your iPad has Auto-Brightness turned On. Auto-Brightness adjusts iPad screen brightness based on ambient lighting conditions; lowering brightness in low light conditions helps to extend battery life. You can adjust brightness yourself; go to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper and drag the slider to the left to lower the default screen brightness.

Manage the use of downloaded applications: Use of certain applications, such as games that prevent the screen from dimming or shutting off or applications that use location services, can reduce battery life.

Turn off Wi-Fi: If you know you’re not going to be using Wi-Fi, you can turn it off to save power. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and set Wi-Fi to Off. Note that if you have iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G and use it to browse the web, battery life may be improved by using Wi-Fi instead of cellular data networks.

Turn off 3G (Wi-Fi + 3G model): Using 3G cellular networks when you’re out of range of Wi-Fi connectivity allows you to stay in touch but may also decrease battery life, especially in areas with limited 3G coverage. To disable 3G, from the Home screen choose Settings > Cellular and set Cellular Data to Off. Note: You will no longer be able to send or receive data via a cellular data network.
Use Airplane Mode (Wi-Fi + 3G model) in low- or no-coverage areas: Because your iPad always tries to maintain a connection with a Wi-Fi network or 3G data network (Wi-Fi + 3G model), it may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turning on Airplane Mode can increase battery life in these situations. To turn on Airplane Mode, go to Settings and set Airplane Mode to On.
Minimize use of location services: Applications that actively use location services, such as Maps, may reduce battery life. To disable location services, go to Settings > General > Location Services or use location services only when needed.

Turn off push notifications: Some applications from the App Store use the Apple Push Notification service to alert you of new data. Applications that rely extensively on push notifications (such as instant messaging applications) may decrease battery life. To disable push notifications, go to Settings > Notifications and set Notifications to Off. Note that this does not prevent new data from being received when the application is opened. Also, the Notifications setting will not be visible if you do not have any applications installed that support push notifications.

Fetch new data less frequently: Applications such as Mail can be set to fetch data wirelessly at specific intervals. The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch new data manually, from the Home screen choose Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually. To increase the fetch interval, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Hourly. Note that this is a global setting and applies to all applications that do not support push services.

Turn off push mail: If you have a push mail account such as Yahoo! or Microsoft Exchange, turn off push when you don’t need it. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and set Push to Off. Messages sent to your push email accounts will now be received on your phone based on the global Fetch setting rather than as they arrive. If the global Fetch setting is set to Manually, you will not be able to locate your iPad using the Find My iPad feature.

Auto-check fewer email accounts: You can save power by checking fewer email accounts. This can be accomplished by turning off an email account or by deleting it. To turn off an account, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, choose an email account, and set Account to Off. To remove an account, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, choose an email account, and tap Delete Account.
Lock Your iPad

It may seem obvious, but you should lock your iPad when you aren’t using it. To lock iPad, press the Sleep/Wake button. You can also set the Auto-Lock interval so your iPad will turn off more quickly after a period of inactivity. To set Auto-Lock, go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and set the interval to a short time, such as 1 minute.

Use Your iPad Regularly
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).

Hello all Sifu,

1st of all.. sorry if i ask some noob questions. I'm new user for IPad 2. I just bought an IPad 2 wifi + 3G on yesterday. My version of the IOS is 4.3.5

I been read/seach on this thread for Jailbreak and I very confuse now. Is 4.3.5 can be Jailbreak or need down grade 1st?
I google around in internet and some article said that to Jailbreak Ipad 2 with IOS 4.3.5 need to down grade to 4.3.3 then only able to Jailbreak by using Jailbreakme.
But in this thread mentioned that 4.3.5 cannot be down grade.
So i got 2 questions.. hope all master can give guide to me.

1) Is 4.3.5 can down grade to 4.3.3?
2) If cannot down grade.. any other way I can Jailbreak Ipad 2 with IOS 4.3.5?

Please help .. I really need Jailbreak my IPad..
Thanks in advanced..

Eh hem!! Lemme try to help ah
1) u can't downgrade it as u din not have a SHSH blobs for 4.3.3 version of ur ipad2 saved. Blobs can only be save when you jail broken it.
2) the latest untethered version of JB for ipad2 is 4.3.3 and there's no later version of JB, which meaans u can't JB it now since ur iPad delivered in IOS 4.3.5 you might as well upgrade it to IoS since u're kinda stuck in between and can't even JB it at all since blobs are unique to every iPad, means u can't copy other iPad blobs and put it in ur iPad, it doesn't work this way. Google more about this SHSh blobs for more information.

Good luck waiting for the IOS5 jailbreak I'm using IOS5 and it is worth upgrading with all these new features implemented. Free apps are more than enough currently..

Hi bro... 4.3.5 can jailbreak?

no....
4.3.5 cant JB....
currently those hackers are trying to JB ios 5 only...
so maybe u shud upgrade to ios 5 and wait for the JB...=)

+1 Well said, buddy

Added on November 17, 2011, 9:31 amI think there's a lot of people confuse between IOS5 and IOS5.0.1. Apparently, both appear to be the same, but there are minority experiencing bugs with IOS5, so Apple decided to release IOS5.0.1 as a bug fixed version.
This means that whoever have not upgraded to IOS5.0.0 a.k.a IOS5 wont be able to upgrade to this version anymore as Apple no longer releasing the blobs, but you can alwis upgrade to IOS5.0.1, no problem.

Hope my statement make your mind clear

tat means we shud choose to upgrade ios5.0.1??
aiya...so confusing...

Erm, not 'choose to upgrade IOS5.0.1', but u have no choice but to go IOS5.0.1 if you have not upgraded to IOS5 before, either you din upgrade or u have not own one ipad before. Because Apple have stop signing the IOS5.0 blobs, but IOS5.0.1 would be the same function, just that they fixed bugs. For easy understanding, get a picture in ur head that every version is a different blobs(one kinda file from Apple).

IOS5.0 and IOS5.0.1 JB might be different, i'm not sure because until this date there's no JB for IOS5 above yet for ipad2.

Hi, I wanna ask about sync-ing apps to itunes. Will it also sync my saved games? Because currently mine is 4.3.5 and I planning to upgrade to 5.0.1, since 4.3.5 won't have and jb and 5.0.1 might have. I don't wanna lose my saved games, is it possible?

Yeap, I've read that before. My iPad 1 has push mail/no 3g/brightness set to lowest/no push notifications/no location services. I always let the battery drop to single digit battery % before charging. (Usually lasts a week before I need to charge).

Mainly using it for occasional web surfing, watching about 30 minutes - 1 hour of video every night, and some casual games.

Hmm...heard that io51 jailbreak is out -- semi untethered version ...no points only for ipad1
