Oct 15, 2012 6:02 PM in response to S_Deanby enchantedloom,Thanks! All clues gratefully received! :-)
There will be tiny amounts of 3G data, initially at least, as the ipad "checks in" with the service provider, but that's clearly not enough to drain the battery!
Someone suggested turning off email push and that cut down my wi-fi data a lot, so I left it off. I just tried turning both that and 3G data back on and email is definitely using my 3G connection instead of wi-fi. So I turned off email push and left 3G turned on, then watched a long YouTube video. All of that data came down through wi-fi and not 3G. So email is guilty of about 15MB per hour of 3G traffic, but YouTube uses wi-fi like it is supposed to.
I'll have to turn things on and off and see which ones use 3G. Absolutely none of them should. I'm pretty sure that was the cause of my battery drain (as well as putting me over my data limit), because as soon as I turned off 3G data my phone cooled down and the battery started behaving close to normally (not quite, but it was spontaneously using wi-fi a lot, too, and that's also a drain on the battery). But what you're seeing so far doesn't really fit with that theory, unless you get a sudden burst of activity!

Apr 3, 2016 7:38 PM in response to sue_sue4by Arman Kian,Its the update you have and the earlier version IPad you have, turn celuar and wifi off overnight (if using) that may help a little also the stuff running offline when you are not using the IPad.
