    Basically my iPad has bricked on iOS 7 and I inserted the #ichooseBlackberry10 hashtag and they didn't like it.

    Now I have a dead iPad

    Normally when this occurs I do a battery pull out but you can't do this with Apple....

    Just a guess since I don't use iPads all that much -- maybe connect it up to iTunes on a PC and do a factory reset?

    Try a reboot, if that doesn't work go to an apple store

    You can hard reset it.

    Worth a punt. I feel like I am just really unlucky here. At least Blackberry give you escape mechanisms with the 8 second power button or removable battery.

    How do I reboot? literally nothing responds. Siri says he's really sorry and cannot do anything at the moment.

    To make matters worse my z10 now has a discharging speed greater than my charging speed. WTF is going on?

    Try looking online for a reset, I think you have to hold the top button down for several seconds or something. You could also try connecting it to iTunes on a computer.

    That could be a charging cord going bad. Happened to me a few times.

    I guess iMore went the extra mile getting revenge ;p but seriously it could be the cord like berger king said, i use a higher volt charger so mine charges in about 1.5 hours you should get one!

    I have been using a car charger which belonged to my 9300. Since 1443 it only charges slowly when I leave the z10 idle on the lock screen but the charging has been unpredictable of late. what do you suggest? Get a new charger. Right now it is on charge through the charger it came supplied with and connected to the mains.

    OK I will try this and hope it remedies it. I love my z10 as soon as everything comes official I think all of us will be happier.....

    Talking of cords, my iPad has two broken cords where the cable has twisted and cut itself, thus increasing the charging time to a serious crawl. Each charger costs around �30 as well.

    To reset press the top button and the home button at the same time and hold it until it restarts

    Connect to iTunes. Hold the home button.

    Now at the same time hold power for 10 seconds, the screen will turn off. You can let go of the power button now. Continue holding the home button until a pop up appears. While still holding the home button a pop up in iTunes appears telling you, you are in recovery mode, click restore.

    Ok, I do sympathize. In all seriousness, I had to do a factory reset of my Z10 this week. Don't know why, the battery just started tanking, and I couldn't pin it down to any one app or setting.

    Seems fine now, holding a charge like before, after setting everything back more or less the way I had it (4g/3g instead of LTE, Power button to wake so I don't pocket-dial.).
