after update 7.0.2 connection to wall-charger (apple 10 Amp) is no longer recognised. Only after complete (2-button) shutdown with charger connected does battery icon indicate charging. disconnect and reconnect charger leads to no charger recognised. Am I the only one with this problem? will it be fixed?
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 7.0.2
Are you using an apple cable? Lightning cables have little chips in them that have to be signed by Apple. If your cable is an after market cable then it may not work post iOS7. In iOS7 software was activated to look for that digital chip.
Apple branded cables will definitely work (if they don't, take them back) and ones by reputable manfacturers should also work. My definition of 'reputable' are Targus, Kensington and Belkin....companies that work with apple. The issues may come from the no-name cables people pick up online.

I was not using an Apple cable since they are to short. Lightning is from iPad 4 onward, but apparently the old connector also has this "protection" because using the original old cable does work and my workaround described above does work for the non-Apple cable (so I know that it is not damaged). So thanks Apple, for making a perfectly good cable useless and making us pay for this extra feature on its own cables.
I also have the iPad 3 which has not been able to charge. Please let me know how you got the iPad to charge again? I have been so frustrated. Many thanks in advance.
Considering the main reason they did as one that failed to work properly caught on fire....I rather buy a new charger over fire damage...
As Skydiver suggested use the original Apple cable that came with your iPad or purchase a cable that is certified by Apple. most name brand cables (Belkin for instance) are certified. If you bought a knockoff cable in a drugstore or on eBay chances are the cable is not certified and may not work.
Here's an article about it: http://ipadnerds.com/battery-charging-very-slow-ios-7/
I ordered a new non-apple 3 meter cable and it works perfect. I guess the old cable just broke, as it won't charge my IPhone either and the workaround ceased working. Problem was apparently not update related.
I have just updated my IPAD after waiting for ages hoping bugs would be fixed and not it will not charge - I have tried all the brightness adjustments suggested here as well and always uning the chagrer supplied by Apple but nothing works. Can anyone help please
why is my ipad 3 not charging after ios 7.0.2 update
