Someone I know has an iPad Air says it goes directly from the dimmed apple to the lock screen, without any blank/black screen at all, completing a cold power on in about 30 seconds, much the way this one used to, but under iOS 6x. Must be a delay programmed into the boot process by Apple to...

You suppose correctly. Thanks for the info. I will give it a try. b

Thanks for the info. I was avoiding 'reset all' because it seems such a radical and destructive action to correct what should have an easier fix. I shall research further what exactly reset all does so I have everything I need to restart this thing ~before~ I push the buttons...sigh. Thanks...

Thank you for your reply. I am not sure what fixes can be applied to an iPad, they are so locked-down, they don't allow any user-based fixing, do they? Other than several resets, daily cold starts, keeping the OS and apps current what else can an end-user of an iPad do? If it was Linux or...

Thanks for your response. I have tried resetting the iPad as you describe, several times, also cold start it daily. Behavior and severely degraded performance do not improve. What startup times are typical for a 3rd gen? Does the screen normally go totally black for about 25 seconds before...

The App Store freezes upon opening, several purchased apps have been downgraded to free or ad-supported versions, overall performance very sluggish, startup takes over twice as long and screen goes totally black for last 25 seconds of boot. Many apps that used to work are now broken. Was hoping...

My iPad no longer shows how long it has been since the last time it was fully charged. Apple says that "Usage times will be shown after iPad is fully charged", but I have run the battery through two complete cycles of full charge to full discharge with no change, Usage and Standby still show...

Addon to praise for Clock... Supreme modification would offer Auto-sort option for the "Clocks Row" from earliest-to-latest or vice-versa. I really like the world clock!

The World Clock is a great new feature! Really looking forward to addition of more cities/global positions for more complete coverage and weather data in every grid across the globe. Nice app! B

Does anyone know how many milliwatts of power an iPad's Wi-Fi signal is? How much RF power does the iPad's Wi-Fi crank out? Any chance it's configurable? Thanks.

Does anyone know how many milliwatts of power the iPad 3 transmits with over Wi-Fi? Is it configurable? Thanks!
