Do you leave your iPad on while charging it?

[mslammers]

I don't charge every night

 

[Testastretta]

Leave mine on all the time ....

I didn't know we could turn them off when charging. I turn mine off and they turn on automatically when I plug the charger in. Probably a setting I missed.

Press and hold the sleep/wake button

would it really matter if you're charging it ON or OFF???

 

[dupont2005]

Yeah I turn it off when I go to bed

 

[Dannyboy85]

Just like my iPhone4 always on......

 

[col.bris]

Never turn mine off same as iPhone just charge both at night using same charger switch devices during the night no problem

Glad I've read the advice on here, mine hasn't been powered down since I blight it on 30th August - will power off to charge tonight - cheers!!

It's 50/50 for me. Depending which part of the day i'm charging the iPad. If charging at night, for sure it's off.

 

[Tinman]

I don't know why anyone would turn it completely off to charge. It only has a rudimentary charging system when it is off... It's only meant to give it enough of a charge so the device can power up for a proper charge.

My iPad is always on. When it is charging it is charging at night I use it as an alarm clock. I have never charged it during the day, as thenbattery always lasts no matter how hard I try.

I do do the hard reboot where you hold power and home once a week to clear the memory though.

If it's a buffet style restaurant I don't think you'd really need to worry about the rules of etiquette so much. Leave them on a napkin on the table.

I usually charge mine over night, in standby mode.

I usually charge mine over night, in standby mode.

Why standby mode?

 

[Aladyleyna]

Never. I normally charge my iPad everyday when I sleep, and I always turn it off during those times. Though sometimes I do end up forgetting, but then it always goes off on standby mode after 5 minutes anyway.
