If you leave wifi on and you put your ipad to sleep, does wifi power down -- or does it continue to drain battery?
In other words, am I correct in assuming that if I want to cut down on battery use, I should turn wifi off every time I put the pad to sleep?
(I've got the iPad 3G, but use it in airplane mode with wifi turned on... Unless I put it to sleep in which case I turn wifi off... Am I doing all of this unnecessarily?)
I have accsess to a wifi net at work that requires login at a special homepage. Everytime I close the smartcover the connection is lost and I have to login again(typing both username and password). It's quite annoying and the Q is:
Is there any chance I can keep the wifi connection alive/awake even if I close the smartcover or press the "on/off" button? It would be even better if this could apply to only that specific network!
I've had my iPad for a few weeks now and I notice every so often after putting it to sleep via the sleep/wake button, the next morning it will not turn back on. Pressing the Home button does nothing nor holding down the sleep/wake button, the only way to bring it back is to hold the Home and sleep/wake until the Apple logo appears.
So I know it's supposed to be a battery saving "feature", but upon resuming from sleep mode (assuming it's been asleep for a minute or so), it drops the connection.
Well aside from the fact I would like it to keep the connection in sleep mode, it takes a really long time to reestablish the connection. What gives? The iPhone has the same approach, but quickly reestablishes it's connection.
Just bought a mini retina. All OK except a weird thing on powering up from completely shut down. The home screen and swipe bar only appears for a split second before the iPad sleeps. You can press the home button and everything re-appears as normal, but it seems odd that you are not given time to enter the code the first time! The auto lock is set to 2 mins; I have conducted both hard and soft resets (i.e. I have restored factory settings)...
Currently Iphone shuts off wifi when it goes into sleep mode and I suspect the Ipad will do the same.Which means that push on the Ipad is going to suck? Anyone have any experience how the ipod touch does this?
Unable To Connect To Wifi After Wakes Up From Sleep
Sep 9, 2010
Hi guys!I have an issue about connecting to WIFI. My iPad 3G is unable to connect to wifi after it wakes up from sleep. If I keep using the iPad, it works very well. But if I locked it for a while, such as 3 or 4 hours, it will be unable to connect the same wifi network. The ipad displays still connect to the current wifi and the signal is very strong, but I can't access online. I tried to turn off the Wi-Fi in "Setting" and restart it. It doesn't work. And I also tried to "Renew Lease" in the "Setting". It still doesn't work. Restart the ipad still doesn't work. The only way getting online is to restart my router. After the router restarts, my ipad could connect to wifi and work very well. But my iMac, iphone, and iMac book doesn't have this issue.
How can I fix this problem? I'm troubled with this issue for a week. I really want to resolve it.
Is the ipad always connected to wifi or 4g/3g even when it is in sleep? During sleep and during use if you are not connected to a wifi network is it always searching for a network? How much battery life does push notifications use? Is there a way to turn them off? what about icloud and if you only have find my iphone on? is there a way to turn off push notifications when you are on a cellular network or it always on using small amounts of data untill you turn it off in the settings. I checked my router and it says my ipad is connected even when it is sleeping. Why is it?
Ipad Doesn't Connect To WiFi Router After Sleep Mode
Jun 17, 2012
If I have my WiFi turned off and turn it back on, my Router when I wake my iPad 2 from Sleep mode it doesn't connect to the WiFi Router. If I go into settings I can see the iPad 2 scanning but doesn't connect to my Router. If I close the Smart Cover and open it again, it connects to my WiFi Router. It never drops out after that. I'm leaning on it being a quirk but want to ask as I have till June 19th before I can return it to Apple.
I know that I can set the iPad to "auto lock" in the settings but how do I manually set it to go to sleep and darken the screen on demand? Is there a "sleep button" somewhere that i'm missing?
After using an App made specifically for the iPad and then try to turn off/put my iPad to sleep, it does not react at all. If I then start an App which was designed for the iPhone, then pressing the button on the top of the iPad leads directly to the iPad switching to sleep mode.
This does not happen with all iPad apps. Any ideas?
I went to my Apple Tech Support people and they got my I Pad up and running. The head of tech support there said I should just leave the I Pad in sleep mode and don't have to turn it off. I've been reading different forums and there seems to be differences in what people think.
can I keep it in sleep mode? or must I shut it down?
