ipad mini charging indicator

Just got the iPad 4 to day and there is no light on it saying it charged 100 percent.its safe to charge while in sleep mode.no need to turn it off ,When it's sleeping its off.

 

That's just the way it works. When off, the device gives no indications while charging, hence why it turns itself on when it's off and you plug it in.

If you want to charge it with the device powered off, plug it in while it's still on and then turn it off.

 

That's true. Kinda strange though if you think about it.

 

Yes. I've pulled the charging cable out of my Mini in the morning, and by the time I use it in the afternoon, it can still be 98-100% (I guess that depends on whether there's been any background activity; the app store notifying the device of application updates, for example).
