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

Apart from running very hot while plugged in and in use, it seems that the New iPad uses more power than the charger supplies.

 

My battery meter slowly goes DOWN while in use and plugged in/charging instead of going UP!   

 

Seems the only way to get the battery fully charged is to stop using it!

 

It's a 64GB Verizon 4G version.

 

(and, yes, the heat on the back of the thing is starting to bug 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,

    BIll

    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?

    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.
