Battery drain and other issues - iPad2

[BJB Productions]

Hi all,
First of all, this is not a complaining thread, but I do have issues.

1. I lose battery life like mad. I've made sure I have no apps open, but still, even today, I've lost about 40% battery and I've used it for maybe 15 minutes MAX. (It was charged last night too)

2. Wifi works (sometimes)

3. It does this. (see pic below)

I'm not a very happy camper right now. What to do?

Thanks

Nice 3D effect!

Too many issues here. I would exchange it.

Haha thanks.. 😛

Two questions: 1. is it worth a shot doing a complete wipe and reinstall? I just think that's probably the first thing Apple is going to do.
2. If I do get it replaced, does Apple reimburse you for the invisible shield if you installed one? (I did... 😱 )

I should also add to the list it has tons of light bleed...which I was just going to deal with..but maybe not now.

Exchange it. I can go two or three days of light use before I drop that much battery life!

Also looks like a bad gpu.

Light bleed is normal according to Apple and all the reports here. Personally I think it would be nice if the display was better quality, but it's not.

I've had a couple and they vary depending on how well they were glued together.

I think it comes back to what Steve said when he was trashing netbooks, it's hard for Apple to make anything with good quality for under $1,000.

Yeah. Anyone able to answer my above questions?

It's abnormal take it back or call and return it for another. No point in wasting your time on it.

1. Sure, try it. If you have a bad gpu, it won't help.
2. No

Bummer about them not reimbursing for invisible shield. Well I'll try a complete wipe so when I bring it in I can say I already did that so they don't have to waste their time.
