How to fix battery issues after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1

After Apple's iOS 5.1.1 update was released last week, several users began reporting that their iOS devices had taken a significant battery life hit.
While the issues are not common to most users, it appears as though some iPhone and iPad owners found that the battery life they had come to expect was not apparent after updating to iOS 5.1.1 using Apple's over-the-air updating.
If you find your device is not getting the battery life it once was, a few troubleshooting tips provided by Apple Support Communities user sbaily4 could be of help.

Viacom channels back on Time Warner iPad app
Users of the Time Warner Cable iPad app will be able to tune into a host of Viacom programs thanks to a resolution in the legal skirmish between the two media companies.
The "happy ending" to the litigation between the two was announced yesterday on a Viacom blog, which called it good news for consumers. Time Warner Cable users will be able to grab such Viacom programs as "Jersey Shore" and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" via Time Warner's iPad app.
Subscribers will also get access to other on-air channels from Viacom, including MTV Hits, MTV Jams, and more

iPad mini to debut during second half of 2012?
Apple has reportedly already tagged LCD suppliers for an iPad mini, with an eye toward launching the tablet in the second half of the year.
This latest scuttlebut comes courtesy of Taiwan news outlet Liberty Times (English translation).
Citing the usual, vague "market rumors" but also a report from Japanese securities firm Macquarie, the Liberty Times said the iPad mini could start shipping by the end of the third quarter with a goal of 6 million units.
That 6 million is the same number projected last month by Chinese online portal Netease.
LG and Au Optronics have already passed Apple'more

New app plans to one-up Facebook on iPad using Flash

New app plans to one-up Facebook on iPad using Flash
Facebook only recently updated its app to work on Apple's iPad, but it's still missing many of the features of its desktop counterpart. An upcoming app aims to change that.
iSwifter, the startup that currently offers a standalone browser app for the iPad that can stream Adobe Flash content, plans to launch a new app next month tailored specifically for Facebook users.
The app, called theWorx, gives users a way to view Facebook's news feed, photos, events, and notifications just like they would on the social networking giant's own app. However the real draw is that more

Apple granted patent for iOS steering-wheel remote

Apple granted patent for iOS steering-wheel remote

Discovered by Patently Apple in a group of 21 patents issued to Apple by the Patent and Trademark Office, the in-vehicle remote-control patent describes a product designed for drivers wishing to control their iOS devices more easily.

Currently, drivers must fumble around with their iPhone, iPod, or iPad to change songs, get directions, or make calls if their car's in-dash system doesn't support iOS devices. This lack of integration can cause serious distractions for drivers.
Apple's solution is a small device that would attach to any steering wheel, allowing users to connect to their iOS devices and control basic functions.more

Is Chrome coming to iOS?

Is Chrome coming to iOS?
Apple's iOS will see a version of Google Chrome before the year's out, and possibly before the end of Q2 -- at least according to research firm Macquarie Group.
The equity research group claims that Chrome for iOS is due for several reasons, all of which can be summed up as part of the current "browser wars." These include Google's interest in reducing costs. It currently pays Apple for, among other things, each person using Google services in Apple's default Safari browser; getting people to use the services through its own browser would potentially offset those more

Many people have downloaded and use Messages Beta for OS X, but recent findings suggest having the program installed and configured with Apple's iMessage service may interfere with the way messages are received on your iOS device.
The problem appears to be some hangup with the iOS service more

iPad to once again dominate tablets this year

iPad to once again dominate tablets this year
Apple will continue to reign as king of the tablet market in 2012, according to an IHS report released today.
The iPad will grab a full 61 percent of worldwide tablet sales this year, IHS estimated. That would mark a rebound from last year's fourth quarter when the iPad's share dropped to 55.1 percent.
Apple lost some ground to Android during 2011's final quarter due to huge demand for Amazon's Kindle Fire. The retail giant's low-cost tablet helped Android win a 41.1 percent slice of the tablet market over the holidays, up from more

In U.K., too, Apple relents on iPad 4G branding

In U.K., too, Apple relents on iPad 4G branding
Apple has removed all references in the U.K. to "4G" data speeds on its new iPad following a similar move in Australia.
The company told ZDNet UK in a statement that it had removed references to 4G connectivity to simplify customers' understanding of the product, as different countries use different terms for wireless standards. That follows a similar move recently in Australia.
"The new iPad supports many high-speed networks around the world, including LTE in the U.S. and Canada and HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA in many countries. Carriers do not all refer to their high speed networks with the more
