Why is the charging port underneath the Magic Mouse 2?
I believe Apple intentionally designed the mouse to prevent use during charging.This isn’t too much of a practical problem — the mouse charges fast and the charge lasts for a longish time, and you get plenty of warning in when the charge is running low.But why not simply put the charging port at the end of the mouse so you can use it while it’s charging?Because if you could use this mouse while it was plugged in, a lot of people would just leave it plugged in the same way that some people leave their laptops plugged in all the time. Just imagine that you’re charging your Magic Mouse and using it at the same time. Would you stop what you’re doing to pull out the cord as soon as the charge reaches 100%? You’re more likely to just leave it plugged in all day. Some people probably wouldn’t even realize the mouse is meant to be wireless.This would turn a wireless mouse into a wired mouse, and result in a degraded and un-Apple-like overall experience. It would even be worse than a normal wired mouse, because the Lightning cable used for charging is bulkier and stiffer than a typical mouse cord.
Is it safe to listen to music on my phone while it's charging?
As for safety it is quite safe to use your phone when charging, so listening to music is also safe. But always check if your phone is heating up unusually, if it starts to heat up, stop charging and let your phone rest for a while then continue charging after it cools down, if the heating up is very frequent and the heat is weirdly hot you should consult to your phone seller/provider.Batteries in phones grows in size a bit when in stress, charging and using it will definitely put a load on the battery a bit more than when you only charge it. Remember the Note7’s accident, it is claimed that lack of space for the battery to expand causes the explosion, so one thing you can do is to remove any needless pressure from your phone during charging.Hope it helps.
My iPhone 6 has been charging weirdly. It drops the battery even while plugged in and sometimes takes a while to charge. Why is this?
Thanks for your A2A.Why has your iPhone 6 battery been charging weirdly, losing its charge even when plugged in and taking too long to charge? It could be a combination of things. Anything from applications that are power hogs to a bad cable or bad charger, or even the USB source you are using for power isn’t providing enough to increase the charge.First thing to try: Plug it into a wall outlet instead of a computer. Make sure you are using an Apple certified charger and charging cable. If you aren’t using the ones that came with your iPhone, go to an Apple Store or anywhere Apple accessories are sold (Best Buy, Target, etc.) and buy a GENUINE Apple branded charger and/or cable. Another obvious thing to try is to completely shut the phone down for charging. If you do this and it still takes a long time to charge, it is either the cable, the charger (or the device into which you are plugging it for charging), or the iPhone itself.Next, restart your phone.Third, go to Settings -> Battery and scroll down to the Battery Usage section. Tap the Last 7 Days tab. What apps are using the most battery power? If anything has been using more than 25% of the battery consider turning off the background app refresh for that app in Settings -> General -> Background App Refresh.If neither of these things make a difference search the App Store for “Battery” and install one of the higher rated battery management apps.Finally, if all else fails, take your iPhone to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Retail Center. They have diagnostic tools that can figure out if you have a bad battery.
Why can’t all phones have the same charging cable?
Frankly I don’t care, but you may get your wish in a year or two. For security reasons I don’t plug my phone into things I don’t own myself, so it’s a moot point for me.I think the EU were shortsighted pointlessly-interfering idiots for forcing phone manufacturers (those selling phones in their region) to standardise on a specific connector type - MicroUSB (USB v2.0) - that was already at its maturity stage and soon to be superseded by USB-C.So I assume at some point the EU, recognising that “OMG technology has advanced!” will dictate to manufacturers that they all now have to shift to USB-C, and suddenly everyone’s gonna get with their next new phone a USB-C power adapter & cable, while everyone else with their “old” phone/cable/connector/charger still has MicroUSB, and thus we’re back to the original gripe of incompatibility and dinky little converter-adapters for several years, several years that everyone in the EU will be throwing out their old MicroUSB power adapters & cables en masse, which was ostensibly one of the main reasons for the original EU standardisation.Meanwhile Apple leapfrogged over MicroUSB (v2.0) with their Lightning connector in 2012 delivering a cable/connector that could be plugged in either way around, supporting USB v2.0 and now v3.0 speeds (on the iPad Pro, so far), and carries more power than MicroUSB for faster charging, which is largely what the USB-C standard became 4+ years later.I don’t blame Apple for saying to the EU, “Screw you, we’re simply going to ship a stupid little MicroUSB-to-Lighting Adapter with every iPhone to comply with your ridiculous regressive regulation”.In the last year or so Apple’s latest laptops suggest they’re now making a transition to USB-C for everything, starting with laptops, but presumably the iPhone & iPad will transition away from Lighting to USB-C too.Then you’ll get what you’re asking for :).Meanwhile, well-meaning but ultimately clueless government bureaucrats should stay the frak out of technology regulation of this kind.
Can I get netflix on my ipad1 by doing this?
I just bought an ipad 1 and am disappointed bc I can't download Facebook, netflix, or weatherbug. And more. It's maxed out at iOS 5.1.1. And this apps require ios6. I went here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23918094#23918094 And it says if u just log into a computer to ur Apple ID and download these apps, the go to "purchased" on my ipad and download, then I'll get the iOS 5 version on my ipad. But do I have to have a apple computer? All I have is a dell laptop. Will it work? How will it even download things like Facebook and netflix APPS on my laptop? Do I go to something like "Apple iTunes/App Store" ?? Will it work or do I need a Apple Mac.
Do fake iPhone chargers ruin your battery?
The charge control circuitry for an iPhone is inside the iPhone. The “charger” is just a regulated DC power supply which provides power to the phone for operation and charging, but it doesn’t make any decisions about how fast or how long to charge the battery. As long as it provides approximately 5 V at the appropriate current (1, 2, or 2.4 A), the phone should be happy with it, and charge the battery normally.The main risk with “fake” chargers is that they may not provide sufficient electrical isolation between the AC line and the 5 V output. With a good charger, you should be able to stand with your feet in a grounded bath tub while you hold the bare metal of your phone in your hand, while at the same time the phone is connected to the charger and the charger is plugged into the wall. This should do you no harm, because the 5 V output is completely electrically isolated from the 120/240 V input from the wall. Sadly, several people have been electrocuted by fake chargers that were poorly built and did not provide this isolation. Current flowed from wall outlet through charger to phone and then through the person to ground, electrocuting the person.(Note: even if you have a genuine Apple charger, don’t try the bathtub test above - it’s not worth your life to find out that the charger isn’t genuine, or that even Apple chargers could have a fault).Another possible fault with a fake charger is that its output could end up far above 5 V, with a high enough voltage to damage the iPhone’s electronics.There are several web pages that show the difference in internal construction between Apple-designed chargers and some fakes.Dave
Why is my iPhone 5 losing battery so fast?
Sometimes when you go in large buildings you lose service - this drains your battery incredibly quickly. Try to also turn off cellular Data. Then try turning off bluetooth (that one drains battery very quickly as well). Also turn off Wifi. I suggest only using those three services when you really need them. Sometimes a running app can drain battery. Double tap your home button and long press any app that appears until it starts wiggling (Like when you move apps on the home screen). A red circle with an "X" should appear. Go through and hit the "x" on all the apps that appear until there are no more apps left. Many people debate on how effective this is, but I've seen the statistics, it helps immensely (even on Droid phones)! If battery life continues to be a problem, try restarting the phone (turn it completely off and then on by holding down the Sleep/Wake Button and sliding the "power off" button). Switching to a Droid phone will not necessarily solve your battery life woes! (Although the Samsung Galaxy S III has a much better battery life than the iPhone). And just so you know, Apple Technical Support suggests that you drain your iPhone battery until it turns off every single time before you put it on a charger. It will preserve the life of your battery - I've seen how effective it is first-hand.
How can I use my electric shaver while its plugged in?
My old electric shaver of about 8 years finally died. I bought a new one, only to discover it has a a horribly frustrating "feature" where it will NOT operate while its plugged in. To use it, you have to plug it in to charge it, then unplug it and use it. It will not run while its plugged in. Turns out this is very common with modern shavers. I don't know if this is a safety thing or what, but I really hate it. I shave every morning in my bathroom, standing next to an outlet. What I want to do is just plug in my shaver, shave, then unplug the shaver. I don't even need the 'charge' feature of the shaver. My old one let me do this. So my question is, does anyone know a little bit about electronics that can walk me through how to disable this 'feature'? I dont care if I end up completely breaking the battery/storage part of the shaver. I'll never ever shave without standing next to an outlet so I dont even need the charge storage. I want to make the thing work when its plugged in, just like any other appliance.
Can mobile porn sites charge your phone bill?
Ohh Yes, I would Think so, I would suggest not watching it at all, and that would eliminate your need to have to research such a Thing and worry bout it
What's the best way to charge your phone in 10 seconds or less?
As I understand Lithium-Ion / Lithium-Polymer battery technology, there is NO way to charge a phone battery in 10 seconds or less. Batteries are a way of storing electrical energy chemically. I am sure you have noticed that your phone gets warm when charging. Pumping enough energy into a LiPo battery to bring it to a full charge in only 10 seconds would (in my opinion - at the moment I am too lazy to look up the figures and do the math) most likely cause the battery to fail. The process of charging causes a chemical reaction within the cell, which also generates heat, as the process is not 100% efficient. (see the Wikipedia entry for more details.) The amount of heat generated could even cause the battery to burst into flame.Goodbye, little cell phone.If you often find that your phone runs out of charge, pick up 2 or 3 USB power banks, and keep them charged. A power bank is little more than an external battery pack which contains one or more of the same sort of cells you will find in a laptop battery. They seem to be everywhere, and the cost is reasonable.When your phone needs a charge, plug its charger cable into the power bank, and you are back in business! Your phone can then be used while its internal battery is recharged by the external battery.
