New iPad (3) won't charge while in use

i have a similiar issue: ipad (2 yrs old) periodically gets hot while in use (no apparent reason and not consistently) and it periodically drains the battery while it is suppose to be charging. I use only apple chargers (i have several) and it drains while using the charger that came with it. Not sure what is going on but I don't think it's the charger. When the charging is working, i can charge the battery while using the iPad; however, the only 'cure' i've found for when it is draining is to completely power off for several minutes. Doesn't make any sense to me.

Darryl may not be here, but there are other users than him.

Ive been charging all my ipads from the back of my imac, as it delivers 2.1ma which iapd requires to charge, now the past week, i got two brand new ipads, Mini 2 and Air 2, and both suffers the same problem, why is that?

The outlet charger doesnt deliver more power than the back of my imac, never been an issue for the past 4 years, why now all of a sudden?

Just googled the subject and read your response. Right on, brother. A little snarky, but hey, a spade is a spade. I have the issue, it charges when off, ergo I charge when it's off. I don't understand the comments; maybe your insensitiy gave them a cosmic wedgie but it's their problem not yours, or even mine.

thanks again,

It also happens with mine, but I have a question, what could happen if the original charger doesn't work more and I bought other non original? Does it have relation with the charging problems? Also affects the duration (don't know if it's ok the grammar) and the fact that is really slow when the iPad is charging?

Any word i the new 12W adapter solves this issue?

Darryl Mylrea has not posted fro 4.5 years.

So, I bought the 12W brick and it not only powers my iPad Pro 9", but it also charges it while I use it! Problem solved.

because apple screwed up somewhere while making the device.
