Is this good or bad in terms of battery life?

So I have a question, my usage is 1 hour, 11 minutes; standby is 13 hours, 29 minutes. This is since the last full charge on my iphone4s and now the battery is at 68%. Is this good or bad, and the thing is when I used certain apps like words with friends even for 2-3mins I actually noticed the battery life going down 2%, and I know that because I have the option for showing the battery percentage switched to on. It's frustating that I'm doing the simplest task like going through settings and the battery is draining so quickly. Does anyone have and suggestions about increasing the battery life?

The short battery life is an issue of iOS5 that should be fixed with the next updates. ( also hope that Apple would fix it fast)

    Is Iphone5 really weak in terms of battery life?

    Review the topics in this forum and you can see for yourself what problems people are coming here with. Keep in mind that judging a phone by the posts in a support forum gives you a very skewed view. Most people who bought the iPhone 5 are not having problems with it and they are not dropping into the forums to say "Hi, guys! Phone works great!" The people who aren't having battery issues aren't posting here. Keep that in mind as you read through the forums.

  • HT1476 i-phone3 wont recharge; initially home button wouldn't work. Applied the 'auto-touch button thing' via settings. This worked until I ran out of battery life. Now it won't recharge either via laptop (usually does) or wall switch. Just a blk screen.

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • Is this good or bad compared to yours

    okay I finally made an effort to get some actual stats and am wondering if this is normal and how you compare
    I picked my phone off of full charge early this morning.. usage stats were back to zero (no I didnt drain it)
    I have had four and a half hours of phone calls.. no wi fi or blue tooth.. also no Ipod on either. I have had 12 hours of standby.. and now my battery is giving me the 20% warning... also no autocheck on email...
    brightness auto is off as well and brightness is about 30%.. thanks for your input
    I am wondering if I have an issue or not..

    that is what helps me... for me this is normal.. for the average person I am not sure what is.. so I keep reading about battery life but it comes down to usage.
    granted my razor handled this a little better but it also didnt have all the bells and whistles this does. I am going to monitor it the next few days,.. see where it lands.. this maybe part of our battery problems
    OH and I read on another site I am supposed to have a glowing battery upon charged.. mine doesn't glow but it looks full and has the plug.. anyone else see a glow??

    I've been having some need to reboot the hub for the past month, due to it just not being connected to the Broadband, this happened to the old HH2 and happens now and then to the HH3 too (notice the Connection time being only like just over an hour - cause I needed a reboot.
    I noticed a lot of people post this screen, so here it is ... just wanted to find out if anything bad/good stands out!

    have you tried connecting to the test socket (with a filter) which is behind the bottom detachable half of the master socket. this is your direct connection to the exchange
    have you removed the orange bellwire on terminal 3 from all your sockets?  http://www.filesaveas.com/jarviser/index.html
    I know accelerator should do this but removal also works
    if wireless is dropping you can try downloading inssider2 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.

  • Is this good or bad programmin​g?

    Hi,
    Just trying to learn as I go along what is good programming in Labview and what is not. Any advice gratefully recieved.
    The subvi's just call a dll.
    Thanks

    Hello therealkilkenny,
    some comments:
    1) In the inner case statements you always have a "Set Channel" and a "Clear Channel" in the true/false cases with the same channel number wired to it. Why not make a subvi that has two inputs: channel number and a boolean flag (Set/Clear). Then your main vi only uses one subvi and in this subvi you make the difference between "Set Channel" and "Clear Channel". Btw. most times the difference between a Set and a Clear operation is only the parameter of a given command. Why not join those two vi to one and send only the right command to your DAQ device? (Example: A device needs the command F0 to clear a channel and F1 to set a channel. Then I make a vi with a boolean input, wire this input to "format into string" with format strin "F%b" and send the resulting string. It's easy to program and to debug.)
    2) You compare controls with some hidden controls. It's much better to use some shift registers for this purpose. Then it is clear that you compare the actual value with the value from the last loop iteration. And it's easier to "read"...
    3) If you change the comparision to "non equal" (instead of "equal") you get an array of bits, where (normally) only one bit is set (except the user can change switches faster than you check them). Instead of searching for a bit in that array, like you do at the moment, you convert the array to a number ("boolean array to number", numbers/conversions palette). Now you can use cases with appropriate numbers, which are easy to calculate. Example: bit 0 is set -> case number 1, bit 2 is set -> case number 2 and so on (powers of two...)
    4) You included a delay of 1 ms. For a normal user interface a value of 100-200 ms is ok. How often can you click in a second? You can also use "Wait for Front Panel Activity" (time & dialog palette), perhaps with an appropriate timeout value.
    5) Have a look at "LabView Development Guidelines", it should have come with your Labview installation. (Chapter 6, "wiring")
    Hope this helps,

  • Can a bad service/signal effect battery life?

    The last few weeks I have been getting bad service from Sprint. It varies from low signal on the edge (o) network, romaining (Extended) , and sometimes nothing. Will this effect the life of the battery of my phone? It seems to have drained it very quickly the last few days.

    Yes. The phone constantly searching for signal will cause the radio in the phone to be working harder. This in turn will cause the battery to drain faster.

  • This worked for me... Battery life.

    I have had my 3g for almost a year and have been very happy with it. Last week it started acting up. The phone was always hot and wouldn't hold a charge. I tried all the suggestions I could find about turning things off, checking email, shutting down the phone, hard boot the phone, let the battery run out, this setting, that setting... The battery would always run down in about 3 hours even with out use. On Friday it wouldn't even charge from the usb port. It was terrible. I thought I would have to make a trip to the Apple store to get either a new battery or new phone. Well I write software for a living and I wanted to document the discharge rate before going to Apple. A little searching I came up with an App (System Activity Monitor) that had a battery monitor that sounded reasonable. After installing it I discovered it had more features than that. It had a process list and cpu monitor. I watched both for a short while and noticed that the cpu would spike at 100% for about 10 seconds then fall back down to about 50% for 1 second and repeat. Each time it spiked one process would move to the top of the list "dataaccessd" So a little searching on the web and I find out that this process is related to exchange/active sync. So I disabled the email accounts and the Exchange sync for Mail/Contacts/Calendars. Then re-enabled them one at a time. Each time checking the cpu usage and the process list. When I was done enabling each one the phone was fine again. The cpu usage stays around 10% most of the time. The active sync must have been in some kind of confused state and by disabling it and enabling it the problem finally cleared and my phone is back to what it was originally.
    I know this is long but I only share this hoping it helps someone else.

    Unfortunately, this isn't working for me. I sent an e-mail to Apple explaining the problem, basically my download of a music video was almost complete when I got an error and was told to try using the 'check for purchased music' function you used. Previously, this has worked fine, but for some reason the video is flagged as having been downloaded when it has not.
    As I said, I sent an e-mail to Apple. I'll let you know if there's a change in the response to the 'check for purchased music' function or what Apple's response to my e-mail is. I'm sure they'll solve the problem for me. It's a minor inconvenience. Besides, this is after all a brand new and clearly already very popular service! I suspect their servers are somewhat overloaded...

  • This wont even give me the right battery life for me.

    My iPod video won't even give me the right battery life.. I charged it full. Then I start playing then in one hour its red.

    When did you recieve the iPod?
    You should be charging the iPod for about 2-4 hours.
    The 5g 30gb iPod allows 14 hours of audio playback and 2 hours of video playback. The 60gb iPod allows 20 hours of audio playback and 3 hours of video playback.
    The battery meter is just an estimate. It is not exact and it is wrong almost all of the time. To make it more accurate I suggest that you drain the battery and charge it back up.

  • After a month some good some bad. BB really messed up on some basic features we used to have

    I've been a BB user since they were Blueberry's. I have to say the Q10 after a month of using it is seriously deficient in features compared to my Tour. I thought I was getting the best of the Tour but now with a decent sized screen. Boy was I wrong. So here's my assessment from a road warrior that uses his machine to take care of emails, contacts and access to hotel and airline websites. I don't play games, watch movies or use it as a pacifier like so many do.
    1.) Link - Doesn't work on my system. BB support tried and tried but couldn't get it to work on my Lenovo/Windows 7. So I have no easy way to synch Outlook contacts, calendar etc... I think BB Desktop was a far superior interface as was BIS for setting email. I don't know why they had to go backwards on this and not transport the key parts into the new OS interface. It's only programmer/developer time to make it happen.
    2.) Not ringing when holstered? C'mon that's a HUGE oversight. I'm a business man in constant travel meetings around the world. I always had the Tour set to vibrate in holster and ring out of it. Now I have to shut the Q10 off or fiddle through a bunch of screen taps. The not ring in holster setting is key for me. Having someone's phone go off (especially mine) in a meeting with me is a big no no. I hope that they can add this feature back in.
    3.) Battery Life - Great as expected with a BB
    4.) MP3 Player - Looks like I'll have to keep keeping track of another device to listen to my MP3's. Really, what's it take to have high quality MP3 audio?
    5.) Screen and ergonomics - Awesome human interface engineering. Too bad the features and supporting expectations are still weak sauce.
    6.) Websites Access - Fast 4G, nice screen=Happy with improvement over 3G small screen Tour
    7.) Call quality - Great
    8.) Basic Operating descriptions - Maybe it's me but I couldn't locate how to make the center button between the volume rockers into a programmable hot key. I'd like that to be the Voice control so I can use it to initiate voice commands. There was no manual in the box and no instructions on where to go to get the user guide.  I found the guide via a link on this site.
    Bottom line is that I'm going to keep it and hope that Blackberry actually reads some of these as they have no way to get feedback from their users. This is a basic flaw as well. I make my business better by listening to my customers and making my best effort to meet their expectations. It seems BB has gone the "Good enough" route. Maybe it's still early and there's hope.... That's my story and I'm sticking to it (for at least another 2 years).

    S, Interesting analysis!
    I am a user very similar to you. Fortunately for me, I have hit none of the snags you describe and don't care too much about the drawbacks you cite. Whew!...guess I was lucky!
    I am enamored with the Q10 because of the positives that you mention as well as numerous others that exist with the Q10.

  • What is a good download broadband speed. Mine is 4.17mb/s. Is that good or bad?

    What is a good download speed. Mine is 4.17mb/s is this good or bad?

    It's average. Do you have cable or DSL? I'm moving into an apartment that has cable speeds of up to 20 megabits per second. Cable speeds do vary and, at the low end, run around 5 megabits per second.
    So - cable or DSL. If cable, call your local ISP and see if they have a package with higher Internet speeds.

  • Battery life good or bad, confused

    is this good battery life or not? .... my friends tell me its bad
    ive been using my phone for 2 hours and 24 min and its at 64%
    with 4 hours and 7 min of standby
    is this good or bad or is it normal usage?

    Well that seems fine then because phone calls do drain the battery faster, along with streaming media off youtube. I think your friends are wrong

  • Wanting to buy a refurbished Ipod Nano 3rd generation....Good or Bad

    I had purchased the 2nd generation Ipod Nano (display unit) though never played, but when I got it home and synced music onto it the music showed up in the Ipod when connected to the computer thru the USB cable, but once I would unplug the unit from the computer, the Ipod wouldn't even power up. So, I took it back - now I need to replace that one for my daughter. I can't seem to find the 2nd generation Nano's anywhere, but on the Apple website, they have the 3rd generation Ipod Nano silver on clearance but like title states it is REFURBISHED, is this good or bad? I need to know asap, so that other arrangements can be made, just in case I need to look further on Ebay or other forums that list items for sale. Thanks, And I hope to hear from someone real soon. Melissa

    Apple's refurbished stuff is supposed to be very good.
    Although I have not purchased any of it myself, I know people who have who have all been very happy with it.
    Question. Is your iPod still under the 1 year warranty? If so, you can send it in for service.

  • How good is IdeaPad s205 battery life?

    According to the s205's datasheet it can last approximately 5 hours, which seems strange to me, because AMD Fusion is pretty power-efficient and other E350-powered devices boast up to 8 hours on one charge with the same battery capacity. I do like this laptop's design and features, but battery life is very important to me, so could please s205 owners describe  battery life and usage conditions of their laptops?

    i have this computer and the battery is really bad. doesnt last two hours. i use this computer one or two hours a day and i have been using it for one year. now i have a message that tells me i have to replace battery. lenovo really does bad on batteries i have a lenovo essecial g 530 and its bad too.  battery sucks

  • New Macbook Air with bad battery life

    I've got a new Macbook Air (2013, 11-inch) and I upgraded the RAM and the processor. I'm only getting 6 hours max from the battery, which is disappointing because I wanted to be able to do a day's work without a charger. I've already sent one back and had it replaced, but the new one has the same problem. I've done a call with Apple Support, where they directed me to the help article I'd already read. I've checked Activity Monitor and killed everything I can. I've turned off Bluetooth as well. I use Chrome a lot, Tweetdeck is running, but neither of these things I'd expect to result in a 6 hour battery at 100%.
    Does this sound like normal performance? If it's the processor speed, I'd be tempted to return this one and downgrade the processor as battery life is more important to me than speed (my work is mostly online anyway).

    Quit Chrome and try Safari for a while. See whether there's an improvement.
