nice, somehow this thread no owners list?

i just got the special usb adapter to car lighter plug to charge the mini ,my BB and iphone . now thinking how nice if can mount the mini as car player

oh ya i got a special waist pouch to fit my mini,so it's ready handy to carry it all around also

i got it from AEOn/Jusco in JB ,its a normal oversize waist pouch (got it 50% discount)

U hardly use is it? I charge everyday now since got it on 10th dec . Usage really can be 10hrs+ daily and charge it when it's 15~20% left

the issue on can't charge till 100% happens to mine during the very 1st few times of charging but after like 5times above till now no such issue. maybe the adapter needs to be run in like car engine

try unplug,replug in to see it charge. after few full charge attempts should be gone,

Ronnie,

maybe u can update the method on front page since many ask similar issues? Tq

so far it happens to me twice only in my very 1st week of usage after that no issue at all till now. been using it almost 1 mth

same i'm using wifi Mini and also charge from the extension plug and hotspot from BB as for gps, haven't try it by right should be ok

And the do not disturb after 10pm issue, I haven't notice it yet

yeah updated it and there seems to be some bug for the new update:



http://catholicism.about.com/b/2013/01/03/...f-christmas.htm

ya i had 1 issue not charging 100% on 1 particular extension plug but for other that that it's ok.
so maybe there are some extension plug are having different ampere/A ratings than the ipad adapter

just change power outlet and see if it happens, mine no porba with the 100% and plug icon at the batt bar/meter

wow seems so many have this issue on charging eh? Anyone really went and ask Apple on this matter?
well as mention, do try other power outlets if u face this prob. if repeatedly all pwr source gives similar not full charge then it's a problem

i think it's safe lar :

Re: ipad mini not charging USB from PC*

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.



Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy...et,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Apple Explains New iPad's Continued Charging Beyond 100% Battery Level
Tuesday March 27, 2012 12:06 pm PDT by Eric Slivka
Among the many topics related to charging, battery, and heat issues with the new iPad, observers have noted that the device continues to charge for up to an hour after the point at which the iPad reports a charge level of 100%.


AllThingsD has now spoken with Apple's Michael Tchao about the phenomenon, with Tchao noting that it is simply an effect of the same trickle charging feature that has always been included in iOS devices.

So, here’s how things work: Apple does in fact display the iPad (and iPhone and iPod Touch) as 100 percent charged just before a device reaches a completely charged state. At that point, it will continue charging to 100 percent, then discharge a bit and charge back up to 100 percent, repeating that process until the device is unplugged.

Doing so allows devices to maintain an optimum charge, Apple VP Michael Tchao told AllThingsD today.

“That circuitry is designed so you can keep your device plugged in as long as you would like,” Tchao said. “It’s a great feature that’s always been in iOS.”

Tchao notes that users can expect 10-hour battery life on the new iPad regardless of when in that trickle charge/discharge cycle they unplug their device, and that Apple intentionally displays the battery level at 100% throughout that cycle so as to not confuse consumers who might otherwise think their device is not completing charging correctly.

1 more thing, if u join member u get additional 1 yr warranty, for your info i bought my mini when it was launch in msia without any add ons( cuz i knw the branch boss /also earliest to get)

lazada still sell at the ripp off price? damn dumb

so far can last more than 10 hrs with about 10% left

Some times dunno why need to reset network to get wifi started, usually only between 2 different lines/networks

this latest updates nothing much involve items that is in our country eh? it seems like for itunes,and some programs in US only
