Battery life of 15 Minutes after Firmware Upgrade

Now that my system has had the firmware upgrade, I dont get more than about 5 minutes of battery life.
Prior to that I was getting a good 2.5-3 hours ish.
Now, it dies after 5 minutes.
I find it suspicious that this happened immediately after the FMC firmware upgrade.
I understand that the firmware cannot be downgraded easily.
Or is there, please let me know.

Recently my battery on my 15" MacBook started reporting 75% in the OS but the system would shutdown without notice -- also, when I put the computer to sleep (sometimes for only 20 minutes) it would completely lose its charge and shut down.
This started happening after I loaded the new firmware, but I thought it was related to a failing battery, not the FW update… now I’m curious.
I purchased a new "spare" and sent the original one back to Apple for testing. The spare has not had any problems since, but it has only been a few days. I've heard nothing back on the other battery.
I’ll post back if I have any problems with the replacement.

Macbook Pro has short battery life and runs hotter after firmware update

I installed the macbook pro EFI firmware update yesterday and now my MBP runs hotter and the fan starts running earlier than it has ever done before. Also, my battery lasts 51 minutes from a full charge whereas, before the update, it lasted 2 hours (using the same programs and display settings).
Has anybody else seen this problem?
Please tell me I'm not alone with seeing this. I am hoping that there is a solution and it's better than 'buy a new battery'. The fact that my box now runs hotter with the fan on more constantly would not be solved by a new battery I think.

Also had the problem of MBP running much hotter after most recent Firmware update.
My fans have been running at 6k RPM constantly, and processor Temps have been running at 70-88°.
Following the advice in this topic, I checked the Activity Monitor, which told me both my account and my son's account (which was running but had no actual applications running) had separate Airport processes going nuts – each at approx 80-95%!
Switching off airport and logging out of my son's account almost immediately started to cool the processors, and the fans began to slow down. Switching Airport back on doesn't seem to heat things up again, but if I start to crunch numbers, it all happens over again...
So who knows why the firmware update is making these processes freak out.... weird.

PC-Suite sync fails after Firmware upgrade of E65

After firmware upgrade of E65 PC-Suite stops syncing Calendar & Contacts from outlook. No error messages, just "0 entries has been updated".
- PC-Suite updated to 7.0.9.2
- Outlook 2003
- XP Prof.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The funny thing is - the notes are synced???? If I restore some old contacts they'll double up in outlook, so I think the problem is, that the sync app doesn't see the outlook contact & calendar folder.
Does somebody has an idea?

Crippled 192.168.1.1 page after firmware upgrade

hi,
i recently upgraded the firmware of my WRT160N V2 to 2.0.03.
but since then when i login i get a crippled page on 192.168.1.1 with not even a menu. so i cant even downgrade. is there something i can do?

It is good to know that the issue is resolved
After firmware upgrade it is always recommended to reset and reconfigure the router and I think that is why you were unable to see the menu on the setup page of your router.

T410i SSD user and master password problem after firmware upgrade

Hello.
I have problem with my Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD. After firmware upgrade of SSD my master and user HDD passwords are no longer valid. I'm stuck on BIOS screen and cannot unlock my SSD. After firmware upgrade procedure i got BSOD. Same happened during firmware upgrade on my previous SSD (INTEL X25-M 80GB) but after restart everything was OK. Please help!
Previous firmware version: 1.3
Current firmware version: 1.3.3
SSD connected to another computer shows RAW partition data, but firmware version is 1.3.3 - seems like update was successful.

My X301 Intel x18 got bricked also after a BIOS update then secure erase (was going to sell it). I plugged it to a USB kit and onto a desktop and it was recognised and able to format. But plugging it back to the lenovo it is still a brick. My lucky star there was warranty it was replaced by lenovo.
You may want to try it and extract the data, if it works. And hopefully you can still format it and made it work pluggin back to the lenovo.

Hi I am also having the same problem. I upgraded my firmware to version 500.21.009 and my gps is not working. Anyone has a solution to this problem. Will the latest firmware upgrade resolve this issue?
@famous007
Presumably you have this version of Ovi Maps installed upon your E66:http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-download#/nokia-e66/
If you go to Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Positioning > Positioning methods - try temporarily disabling all except Integrated GPS, go outside away from tall buildings if feasible launch Ovi Maps and wait 20 - 30 minutes for first positional fix to be established.

No power after firmware upgrade on nomad jukebox zen xtra

I have the nomad jukebox zen xtra 30gig that froze up over a year ago after i tried to install the firmware upgrade. After the unsuccessful attempt, the mp3 player stopped working.... I mean no power at all. I've changed the battery and recharged the battery from an outside source...still no luck. I can't even try any of the suggestions anyone gives on this site because I have no power.Does anyone have this problem? More important, does anyone have this problem and know of a solution?I've already set my pc back to wmp 0, I have the firmware on the desktop waiting. Now all I need is some power on this unit so that i can try some of the suggestions that seems to be working for people. Thank you

I have the same problem too, but my unit is a?Creative Normad Junebox Zen Xtra 40GB. I was trying to find a solution to my problem when I read about your problem. I have pressed the reset button, on / off switch, removed the battery, reinstalled the battery, and nothing seems to work. I was hoping you?might get a solution to this problem, so that I might be able to fix my MP3 player. If I hear of a solution, I will let you know, thanks for sharing. Issue:? While updating the firmware to the Zen Xtra 40 GB, the unit powered down and?has never came on again. There seems to be no real reason why the unit should not power up. The battery and the AC adapter are working correctly. I am very disappointed in Creative...

My macbook pro battery life is tremendously reduced after installing lion os x

I installed Lion OS X on macbook pro 13 inch- i7
I noticed that it was 100% battery full and the remaining time was less than 2 hours.
When I was using the snow leopard, it was said 6 hours which is fine.
How to solve this problem please.
Best regards,
Fawzy El mawy of www.docsbank.net

Hi all, thought i share some of my battery related issues i have with Lion.
As everybody already noticed, even my battery life took a deep dive into nothing really. From steady 5 hours to 2 hours !? I use my mac a lot on battery, and i can make it through the day whitout even touching a charger. But .. now that has apparently changed.
So, what i found out after installing Lion is 3 things ..
#1 "Kill your daemons" .. after i examined the Citrix fix, which i didn't had installed i had a look at what daemons i had loaded, and found a lot of google ones. So i killed those, whenever a use chrome i just have to manually check for updates. No biggie.
#2 "Battery calculation is different" Yeah, it really is .. it seems like they changed the way the calculation is done. Its more dynamic now, and it taking in consideration more about what you're doing atm on your mac. When iam writing this my battery is at 70% and i says that i have 4 hours left. When i start to surf for example it drops to 2 hours. I did the battery calc reset, altho it got a little better but not good still.
#3 "Dynamic switching" Nasty one, it seems that after i upgraded to Lion my Dynamic switching of the GPU stopped to work. All settings was according to the book, but still i had my AMD chosen all the time, which explains the furnace i got on my lap all of a sudden. So, since by default there is no way to switch the GPU i downloaded the gfxCardStatus that did the trick for me, temperature dropped radically and my battery time went up of course.
So, now iam back to almost 70% of capacity before installing Lion, and that with doing nothing other than just install Lion !. I know there is issues with Flash, and most likely there will be a fix soon from Apple and Adobe that fixes our battery issues.
Then there is the wifi issues, that everyone seems to have in different forms and shapes, so basically Lion needs a haircut and a shave.

Battery life on a Q10 after the recent update to OS 10.3.1

I purchased my Q10 in November of 2013 and one of the best things about it was the battery life. One time the battery lasted for four days (albeit with minimal phone use). I upgraded to OS 10.3.1 a couple of days ago and have noticed a drastic decrease in the life of my battery, despite the claim that the new OS was better at battery management. I went to bed last night with 46% battery remaining and woke up 9 hours later to find my phone completely dead. I even had the Wifi off and Bedside Mode on.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there some way that I can get better battery management?
Jeremy

Try a hard reboot and then give it a few days, a new OS often means some background housekeeping is going on (this is more noticeable on clean installs).
Check the Battery in Settings -> App Manager -> Device Monitor after a week or so and see if anything obvious is causing the degradation.

No contacs after firmware upgrade on N70

Hi
I did a firmware upgrade yesterday on my N70 using NSU. Of course I did a backup using the uptodate Nokia PC suite. After the firmware upgrade I saved the data back to the phone aagin using the Nokia PC suite. Everything looks good except that no contacts are there.
I did the upgrade again just to make sure that everything went OK with the same result.
Can some help or has the same problem?
Firmware V 5.0638.3.0.1 18-09-06 RM-84
PC Windows XP SP2
Nokia PC Suite 6.82.22.0
NSU 1.2.0en
Best regards
Chris

not sure about your PC Suite version but this has been well documented in these forums and I had the same problem and with N70. I think it was mentioned as a PC Suite issue, or a combined PC Suite issue N70 issue with many people reporting it. Anyway nothing you can do but enter your contacts or transfer from another phone

HP Laserjet p1102w - after firmware upgrade / Smart Install update - down to 1MB free memory

Hello,
I have a Laserjet p1102w running off a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit. Just bought the printer this month.
After updating the firmware to 20120814 version and updating the SmartInstall update utility for the 20120814 version as well, I am now down to 1 MB free memory (out of 8MB originally). [Another LJ p1102w updated prior to these updates has 3MB free memory.]
Because I have 1MB free memory, the printer is almost a brick. It can print simple text based pages - however, printing any page with a graphic or a PDF file will cause the printer to take forever to receive data - essentially preventing printing a page on my new printer (while printing the same page instantaneously on my older nonupdated p1102w).
Is there any way to fix this problem, given there is no memory upgrade option? Otherwise, this printer is a brick.
Thank you in advance for a reply - especially from HP.

Hi cyskim,
Did you tried turning the printer off and on after updating the firmware? This should clear its memory, including any memory may affected during the firmware upgrade proccess .

HP 5524 Wireless does not work after firmware upgrade

HI,
I have just purchased an HP5524. After initial problems setting up the WPA key from the printer screen, I connected via USB, found the printer and swapped to wireless successfuly. I then installed the printer software on all my computers at home successfully over wireless.
The printer then needed a firmware upgrade to support eprint (?), which is successfully connected, downloaded the fireware, installed and went through the boot cycles successfully.
However, ever since wireless will not work. Before I return it to the retailer as "not fit for purpose" I thought I would ask the forum. The diagnostics downloaded a tool, which I went through, but this did not offer solutions that I had not already tried.
Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for posting you query,
In order to resolve the issue, please make sure the printer is placed closer to the router and uninstall the printer drivers already installed and then start the instalaltion and seelct teh connection type as wireless network. Then select use USB to configure wireless and when prompted conenct the USB cable and then select the network and enter the encryption key follow the onscreen instructions.
If the issue still persisits, please open the browser and in the address bar enter the IP address of the router and click on GO. This will take you to the router configuration page. On the router page, please click on Wireless Setup and please make sure SSID Broadcast is enabeld and the Wireless Mode is set to Mixed or 802.11 B/G/N and the Wireless Channel is set to 11 and click on Apply. Then try to connect the printer to the network by using the CD.
Say "Thanks" by clicking the Kudos Star in the post that helped you.

Fans And Voume after FirmWare Upgrade

Hey there!
I have two very positive pieces of information, some repeated:
1) The volume of my speakers and "line out" was weak at best prior to the FirmWare upgrade. Now, it is positively explosive! I mean, the volume control works just like I would have expected. Perfect...
2) The fans are coming on more consitantly. I can actually hear them now, which makes me wonder... The temp on the Hard Drive has not gone above 92 since I upgrade the firmware (not that I have noticed however).
Bob

Hi Bob!
What did you use to check the temperature?
I installed the 10.4.6 and the firmware, and now I could cook an egg on the keyboard. I didn't have the heat problem before, now after the updates, I am fried (literally).

Iomega Storcenter ix4-300d stuck at 95% after firmware upgrade

Hi,
I upgraded my device after I got an email that there is a new firmware:
An update to version 3.2.10.30101 of the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d software is now available
I installed the update but now it is stuck at 95% after rebooting.
Never had any problem before the firmware upgrade.
Any advice?

Hello BelgianTomas
I recommend that you first power down the unit if the unit has not completed the boot process. Then re-seat all disks and try booting the unit again. Please do not try to access the web interface until the power led is solid white.
Next would be to try moving the internal disks to different bays to see if a different drive order wil allow the unit to boot.
If that does not help, LenovoEMC suppor should be contacted for more advanced options.
