1020 Battery not lasting more than 5 or 6 hours so...
I have had my 1020 since they first hit in the US. The drain problem has come and gone. The first month it would die after 4 hours then it would last all day for awhile. Now it is back to the 4-6 hour range. I have everything but Cell turned off, no back ground apps and shut down my apps as I go. I have a strong 4G LTE signal.
I paid $300 for mine on two year contract to help keep the Nokias going in the US. I have seen some people say that they have been able to exchange there's and the new one works better. It is so bad I had to get two rechargeable batteries to make it through a day.
What can I do? At this rate if it doesn't get much better I may end up dumping the phone I love just to get one that can make it through a day with light to moderate use. I have always loved Nokia and have been an early adopter to make sure the phones get the sales to stay alive. I even have everyone in my family getting them.
I do a soft reset when my 920 starts the battery cycle thing. Hold the volume down button and power button down until the phone vibrates, release.
Think I am going to start doing this befor a phone update.

Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!!
Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
Try these:
Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
See what's loading in your login items. Delete the ones you don't need.
Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness. -
I have a MacBook Pro 15" mid 2010 that was purchased in summer of 2010. My battery has used 326 cyles. Is this normal for these batteries after two years? How many cycles should I expect to get out of it before getting a new one? Also, it only last about 1 hour plus about 30 minutes before needing to be charged again.
The battery is considered a 'consumable' item by Apple - I know that newer models (not sure about 2010's) are supposed to 'last' to about 1,000 cycle counts. But it all depends on how you've used (or abused) your battery as to how long it's going to last. I've 182 cycles on my 8 month old MBP and my battery 'health' is at 98%: I can still get a good 6 1/2 hours out of it...
...if you want more battery time, you're just going to have to buy a new battery or, if you purchased AppleCare, see if Apple will replace it gratis. I doubt that they will, though...

Battery doesnt last more than 30 minutes
Hi
Thats basicly the problem and i have had my MAC book pro not longer than 3 months, from the begining doesnt last.
What should i do to fiz it ? should i change it ?
hope to get and answer
thanks
mac Boook pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)Reasons for dead battery: SMC not working properly, which means that the power options are draining the life out of your battery. If one constantly charges the battery and then lets it drain out all the way it will shorten its life. This carried on for as long as 3 months could well leave the battery useless.
If u have apple care... call them, and get a new one. Also, ask them about the above. -
Is this a matter of getting a new battery, maybe a service? Or something more technical?
I've charged the unit for hours although it always shows fully charged symbol within an 1 hour.
It functions fine when plugged in, updated and synced.
Only real problem is it turns of in 30 minutes or less with only the very low battery fading into the screen.
Any help/advice happily acceptedYes. It sounds like the iPod's battery is on its last leg. If you want to keep using your iPod you'll want to have the battery replaced either by Apple, a third party company, or you can even buy the replacement part and swap it out yourself.

MacBook Pro Battery Not Lasting More that 4 Hours
Hello! I just got my new MacBook Pro and I have calibrated the battery. I have noticed that the battery meter is terribly inaccurate and jumps around from 1 hour to 6 hours of estimated lasting time! I usually only get 3 and a half to 4 hours and this is with the keyboard backlight and the display backlight on its lowest setting and using the integrated graphics! I am doing nothing more that some word processing and internet browsing. On the Apple Tech Specs it states that one could easily get 5 hours and thats with the backlighting on the mid point! I am wondering if I have a defective battery. When running coconut battery it used to say my battery had 98% of its charge and that was with 3 charge cycles! Now after calibrating it, it states it has 100% however what is odd to me is that it says it has 4648mAh when the batters compactly is only 4000mAh.
Thanks for any help!

I have purchased a iPad mini online from the Apple store. Since day one I had 2 issues with it. First is that the battery life doesn't last more than 5-6h active usage, and the second one is with the wi-fi. It works properly but after I leave it for a while in sleep mode and try to reuse it, it doesn't want to open a web page or app store or mail (anything connected with the internet search) but it shows that is properly connected with my home network. So I have to turn off the wi-fi connection and turn it on again so it start to work properly. After couple off days this becomed very annoying so I contacted the support via phone and they gave me instructions for return it and that I'll receive a new one without aditional fee. I get the second device in the predicted time but again I have the same issues with the wi-fi and battery life. I will be pleased if someone from the Apple expert team explaine to me what should I do, because I dont find it for normal what is happening. On the Apple official site under the specifications for iPad mini it says that the battery lasts for at least 10h and the wi-fi problem isn't mentioned anywhere. Thanks in advance.
This is a user to user forum. No one here is an employee or representative of Apple.
If you want someone from Apple to explain what you should do make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one near you and take your iPad there and talk to Apple. If no Apple store is close enough then call Apple to find out what your alternatives are. There is a Contact Info link at the bottom of every page in this forum. -
I just got an ipod touch from my sister yesterday which she has had since October. The battery life went for days with her but as soon as I started checking my email and adding apps the battery doesn't last more than a couple of hours. I deleted some apps but no change. I also kept my email logged in and my notifications turned on so I'm wondering if they are part of the problem. Please let me know what I should do. Thank you so much.
Yes, notifications are part of the problem. For more information look at at the previous posts on this problem. Yu can find some of those on the right hand side of this page under the heading: More Like This. I keep mine in airplane mode when asleep.

Battery lasts less than 2.5 hours
My MacBook Pro is 3 months old and after installing all my apps and accounts I noticed my battery only lasting 2.5hours on a full charge. I brought my issue to the forum and came to the conclusion that Google Chrome is known to use a lot of CPU and energy, so I wiped the hard drive and did a clean install of OS X 10.9. Without reinstalling Chrom (I used Safari) my battery looked great for about a week, 6-7hours on 100%. But now suddenly, same issue has returned. No more than 2.5 hours on 100% battery. I also notice that the machine is pretty hot especially when comparing it to colleagues MacBook Pro's of the same model.
Here's the latest screen shot:
Can anyone suggest what could be the issue? I am on the brink of returning it to the store.1. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.9 or later.
2. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
Enable Power Nap while on battery power
if it's shown (it may not be.)
3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
4. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center. -
On iPad 3, all of my calendar items lasting more than one day do not appear correctly when looking at the monthly view of the calendar; only the first day of the appointment appears. For example, if I am taking a vacation for 4 days, only the first day of the vacation is marked on the calendar, instead of being listed on all 4 days. When I look at the weekly view, however, it is correct and is listed on all 4 days. The problem here of course is that at a glance, there is no way to look at my monthly schedule. On my iPhone, everything is correct, regardless of month or week view, so clearly this is an iPad problem I guess? Please advise on how this can be corrected. Thank you!
Unfortunately you can't do what you want. Many people have complained to Apple about this. I suggest you provide Apple feedback directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html. They will not provide a direct response but hopefully if enough people provide feedback Apple will fix this.

MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?
The firmware update corrects an error that may occur, however the techs would have checked the condition of the battery prior to installing a new one. If the battery was questionable, the firmware update was really not too important.
You can check the battery condition by going to the apple, left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about Cycle Count, Condition, Capacity: Condition anything but Normal needs to be checked and may need to be replaced.
The cycle count of 1,000 charge cycles is the typical life of a Lithium-Ion battery, the point at which the capacity drops to 80% of the as built capacity. -
HT202299 Is there a way to automatically upload videos that last more than 5 minutes on icloud ?
I saw that icloud has a limitation of 5 minutes on the videos :
Is there a way to automatically upload videos that last more than 5 minutes from iphoto/photos ?
I'm trying to find a way to store my photo library on the cloud, AND keep to acces to each photos/videos from the net (not just storing the .iphotolibrary on the icloud folder) but i cant do it for the videos of more than 5min ...I believe you are probably referring to iCloud photo sharing. If you wait a while, the next version of Yosemite will include the new Photos application which will sync video through the iCloud photo library feature.

Does any one out there have problems with all in ones. Mine never last more than 6 months
I have had numerous printers/fax/scanners and they only last 4 to 6 months. I would think for the money you have to pay for them they would last longer. Something that cost 500 dollars should last more than 4 months
What is it that does not last? Do your printers go wrong in the same way?
From a printing standpoint, the number of total printed pages is a good way to measure the life of a printer instead of in days, weeks or months.
I was an HP employee.
