A battery life thought
Has anyone else tried NOT using the % of battery life left option? It seems to me I get FAR BETTER battery life when I do not use that option. Just wondering if anyone has tried or experienced that phenomemon. Just maybe keeping track of the percent uses more juice. Just a thought.
Thanks.

I actually get better battery life, as much as twice as much as far as usage goes. It lasts about four days without the percent on as opposed to two days with it on. That's just normal usage for me. I've tried it three times each way. Its NOT scientific with any statistical data, just normal usage. That's why I asked the question. It "could" very well be not a fact, but if others try it, we may also find the percentage measure "may" actually use more battery life.
Just thought it would be an interesting option to try.
Thanks for the replies.

Just bought a mid 2012 13 in macbook pro. Battery life is only 3 hours. Thoughts?
Just bought a mid 2012 13 in macbook pro. Battery life is only 3 hours. I was under the impression that it would last 7 hours. This is with normal internet browsing and text editing. my brightness is not all the up and bluetooth is off. Thoughts?
im having the same problems, bought my 13" MacBook Pro last week and the battery is terrible on it, but i googled it and a lot of other people are having the same issues

My iPhone 3Gs has frozen and I can't do anything except turn it off by hard boot. When I plug it in, I have the apple icon and that is all. It was at 43 percent battery life when it happened and my Twitter app was giving me problems. Thoughts?
Put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

Hi i received the nano 7th gen for Christmas and I only seem to get 5 hours of battery life. I use the Bluetooth and Nike app so I expect more drain on the battery. But I got more time out of running with my iPhone. Does this sound normal? I thought I should get close to 30 hrs of just play time alone.
ALso, my wife got me the Belkin armband to run with the nano but I sweat through the band resulting in the back of the iPod to get wet. Surely this is not good. Anyone have a recommendation for an armband that keeps moisture away from the pod?iPod Nano are small and they don't use Wi-Fi access so you get less power time on a Nano. As for iPhone, since you got apps, Wi-Fi + 3G access, and everything else, they give you more time so you can keep using. Nanos are ment to listen to music, listen to radio, view your photos, watch videos (without Wi-Fi) and since you got BlueTooth on the nano, it counts as wireless access so it drains your battery faster.

How can i extend the battery life of my iphone 4s? when i left 50% it in standby mode when i saw in 5hours it drains to 5% i saw 45%, i thought when i leave the phone the percent is still the same. whant am i goin to do?
I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
Thank you very much!
Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
-Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button. -
I have the early 2011 release of the 17" MBP (8gig ram, 2.2ghz quad i7, 500 gig harddrive) and it seems like the battery life has just been cut inhalf. It lasts me about 3 and a half hours from just general use. Is my battery faulty? Really appriciate any feed back
That battery looks pretty good, capacity is really strong for so many charge cycles, but the voltage looks low, would expect it to be in the 11.5 to 12.5 volt range and you are showing 11.27 volts. A little low but not critical.
How have you been handling that battery with respect to discharge/charge? While Apple has a lot of material talking about periodic deep discharge to shutdown and charge as a means of calibrating the battery, in reality that does not calibrate the battery itself. That only serves to calibrate the charge reporting circuitry built in to Lithium-technology batteries. In fact, the Battery University, an independent group testing batteries, has shown that repeated deep discharge behavior significantly shortens Lithium battery lifetimes. The optimum balance of use (discharge) and line-connection seems to be around 50% discharge before charge. Deeper reduces cycle life very fast, lower discharge makes for a very high cycle life but why buy a portable?
Anyway, just some thoughts. Use of high intensity applications, including other operating systems, looks like it is degrading the charge time but the battery itself looks healthy.
Just keep using it, perhaps try not discharging below 50% for a while and see how it behaves for your. -
Mid-2013 Macbook Air Battery Life has become awful-Not Mavericks related
I have a Mid-2013 Macbook Air that I bought in July. i5, 1.3 GHz, 8GB RAM, 500 GB SSD. I honestly thought that my horrible battery life was due to the recent upgrade to Mavericks (many MBAir users are having problems with 10.9), so I downgraded to 10.8.5 this AM. With my backlit keyboard off and the screen at a mid-level of brightness, I am barely getting 2hrs of battery life. Before I go make an appointment with the Apple Genius, I was wondering whether anyone has any suggestions. I saw other threads on this issue, but none of them seem to really help. Below is the EtreCheck file (there seems to be a lot of Symantec traffic, but I am not sure that is the cause). Also, I am also running "hidden" so I wonder if the constant location services are draining the battery. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

After Mavericks install, your "time remaining" WILL BE INACCURATE until you do a SMC reset in many case
SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
There is a HUGE distinction here about someone getting less batt. life in actuality .......or are they just reading the "time remaining" and using that as a true indicator which is certainly is not.
Ive seen 3 notebooks after SMC reset jump 4+ hours in "time remaining" and slowly climb after 3+ full charge cycles.
Until things settle down, nobody should trust what the 'time remaining' says. -
Hey there guys, I recently purchased a new NB500 netbook after doing some research. Good price and good little unit.
The only issue seems to be battery life. I've read constantly about how netbooks have rgeat battery life and supposedly the NB500 is no exception. However, after setting it up and getting updates etc, I unplugged it to see how it would go without power.
Surprisingly, at best I could get 3 hours on Eco mode. On Balanced, it was just under 2 hours. I could literally watch it tick down from 100% just on the desktop without running any heavy processes at all, let alone browing the internet or working.
And that's what kind of bugs me. On all kinds of tests and reviews, they do full screen full brightness video playing tests and get like 5+ hours, but for me just sitting there on minimum brightness running absolutely nothing, I can maybe get three hours?
Is there something I'm missing for this battery, because that's a major reason why I bought the machine. Any help would be great!I bought a NB520 a week ago, and also have concerns about the battery. Battery life is claimed to be 10 hours+. Now I haven't fully tested yet, but my guess is that it's less than half that.
However, more serious is the following issue. I fully charged the battery, and then left the computer in Hibernate for 24 hours (i.e. using zero power). I was surprised to find only 10% battery life when I switched back on 24 hours later.
It's also done this another time when on Standby, apparantly using battery life almost same as if computer was being used.
Neil
p.s. I also have other problem that I bought this netbook partly cos it had 3g sim slot, and I thought I could ditch my bulky usb stick & just put sim card inside computer. Two salesmen at john lewis thought I could do that too.... now it seems the 3g sim slot is just an empty blank space.
So there's a few issues to sort out with toshiba, or I still have option of returning for refund and buying another model -
After 3 Palm PDAs, I was excited to get a Palm Centro. In the first 30 days it became obvious battery life was horrible. Best Buy swapped first the battery, then the entire device. After that they referred me to AT&T who swapped the phone and at least 4 batteries until the 1 year warranty ran out. AT&T was very helpful during the first year warranty period, but I've still got 8 months on my contract, and my battery does good to last 6-8 hours. Charging it for use first thing the next day isn't possible. I make very few phone calls, literally 2-3 a week, so it's totally standby time I'm fighting with. I don't use any data connections (no e-mail, no gps, no web). I don't use texting or any third party software. I turn bluetooth off except for once a month to sync with my Vista 64 computer. AT&T has checked the settings and found nothing wrong. I'm reluctant to spend $50 for a battery that will only last a month or two, I might as well buy an I-Phone for that price (except I don't want the required data connection). I've even tried turning the radio transmitter off, charging it at 11 PM, and the next morning, it's still dead! Just totally unacceptable, and before now, unlike Palm quality. An e-mail from Palm today advertising the new palm pre plus just set me off. Why would I upgrade with my experience with Palm's quality and response to a major issue. I thought I was alone, I wish I'd read all the reviews before I bought my Centro, I would have continued using my old phone, and will probably have to go back to it if I every want to make an actual phone call.
I would expect Palm to replace the battery for at least the first 2 years when it's obviously not a user issue!I'm in a great coverage area and battery life isn't any better if my radio transmitter is turned on or off. Also brand new batteries seem to work fine for several weeks to a month or so, then start degrading. I followed the manuals and AT&Ts recommendation to the letter on charging & recharging. My wife's Centro is in the same location and has almost identical usage and works fine. I've had lots of suggestions and "it might be's" and tried and eliminated them all, and still have a battery that won't hold a charge.

The battery life on this phone seems so much greater than the previous two I had.
I've turned off push notifications, checked to close as many programs as possible.
What else can I do to minimize battery use?
Twice this week, it's been on red and once the phone was dead. I usually listed to music on the way to work (30 mins) (I always check to make sure it's off when I arrive) and then I send a few text. I don't use internet at work generally.
I've re-set the phone. I thought I had a lemon phone, but a friend is having similar battery issues.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Massive battery life drop after Internet Recovery OS re-install
Hey,
A couple months ago, I made the brilliant decision to try to install Windows 7 with Boot Camp at 3am on a weekend after several days of no sleep (unfortunately, this is one of the least-poor poor decisions I've made recently, but I suppose that's for another forum). Long story short, Og turn on MacBook, Og open Disk Utility, Og click-click, SSD go bye-bye—formatted, every last bit of it (haha, me make pun-pun!). Luckily, ML ships virtually tard-proofed, so there's little I can do besides showering with Bernie (this pun courtesy of the 'lil sis; I'm innocent) to make him breathe his last. This little bit of Apple genius is irrefutable proof of God—praised be his noodly appendage. But ever since Internet Recovery blessed me with Bernie II (R'amen), I've noticed during countless nights lying with him in bed that his stamina has decreased significantly, versus his pre-IR days. I can't give you firm numbers of his endurance before the operation, but now, after even the least vigourous play, he's drained beyond further exertion after no more than 2-2.5 hours. I've tried various tweaks to increase battery life—making sure his mail parts are only shooting off when I work them manually, the same for receiving messages as well, and I've been monitoring his GPU usage; thanks to ML he's much more conscientious about being discrete, and I rarely have to limit him to using his integrated components. (Note: I'm using writing this as an excuse to start an essay, and its foundation really needs to get laid ASAP, so unfortunately the allusions/euphemisms stop here.) Again, I can't give precise numbers about its original battery life, but I was blown away by it, likely averaging at or in excess of the advertised 7-hours. I'm a geek and spent my childhood with eyes never further than a couple of inches from my CRT (and have the vision to prove it), but I really have no f'ing clue what would be causing this. I never doubted that the battery life decreased (and dramatically so), but now that I've started booting up into Windows regularly, any trace of doubt has vanished. Using Windows 8 set on Maximum Performance (and, as I'm sure most of you are aware, Windows only uses the discrete GPU, even when doing nothing graphically-intensive), the battery life is still significantly better than using ML. I've searched and searched and searched and can't find a single reference to this issue online. I'd appreciate any help you can offer. Just in case it's of any assistance, I'll put some might-be-relevant-maybe info below, including things I've thought of that could be the source/contributing to the problem (again, I really have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to true geek know-how):
- It's a rMBP 15" w/16GB RAM
- When I formatted the HD, I wiped out everything. Yes, obviously there was enough on there for the laptop to launch into Internet Recovery, but I'm thinking that was all that was left. When I've been trying to think of why there's nobody online with this issue, something that's popped into my head is that anyone who knows what Disk Utility does is probably savvy enough (when not sleep-deprived) to not use it to format their HD, or at least to heed to the plenty of "Don't click yes, tardums" warnings that I'm sure popped up as I zoomed by them. And I can't think of many other ways for grandma-level Mac users to wipe their HD, so the lack of online info would make sense.
- This was a couple months back, and I can't remember precisely the OS version when all this went down. I'm certain it was ML since I think my rMBP shipped with 10.8.0 (if not 10.8.1, if any did), but it could have been anything between 10.8.0 and 10.8.2. I'm pretty sure it wasn't 10.8.0 since I remember updating to 10.8.1 very soon after purchasing the laptop over the summer, but again, not certain.
Alright, that's it. I'm sure this post doesn't meet forum standards for plethora of reasons, but I'm a poor little private liberal arts university student who is desolate now that his $3,000 laptop isn't getting top-notch battery life, so mods, please dig deep in your hearts and don't delete. Thanks, yous da best.
-ZackThere were a number of posts from folks with various models about a downgrade in battery life after an upgrade to Mountain Lion - so you aren't alone. However, since you're still under warranty, I would take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the problem. Could be that your battery just isn't up to par (and I'm assuming that you've all updates installed?)...
Good luck,

Hi Bulldog69,
Have you checked if you have Advanced Task Killer downloaded? If so, have you removed it? Was this successful in changing the results for the battery?
If you did not have Advanced Task Killer downloaded, there are applications out there that will tell you what is using your battery. It could be an application that is constantly running, it could be an application that is left running accidentally, etc. I recommend going to the Application Market and doing a search on the word "battery." This may help in determining the cause.
I did check my references and I am not showing that what you describe has been reported as a known issue.
Please post back with any results.
Best regards,
No I do not have any task killers as I heard they can be can cause more problems than they are good. I have checked apps and found nothing causing battery drain and my battery just started getting real bad in the last week without adding any new apps. -
Battery Life on two 3G iPhones has dropped dramatically since 3.1 update...
Hello all!
I couldn't find a thread with just this problem, so I thought I would start it. My wife and I both have iPhone 3G 16GB phones and using the same apps as before, our battery life has dropped to less than a day for both of us. I would estimate the change as approximately 1/2 of what it was before the 3.1 update. This is in addition to not getting 10% battery life left warnings (we both still get 20% battery life left warnings) and random shutdowns on both phones. Neither of us has added any apps since update to 3.1, so we're using the phones the same way as before the update. Both updates on the phones went without problems.
The only thing I have noticed is when the battery gets to about 50% left on the icon, it seems to drop very quickly. The battery life has definitely dropped noticably, but this is an apparent symptom of that problem. I guess it is possible that it drains at a faster rate for some reason once it reaches 50% remaining, but I can't prove that. It appears that way however, on the battery icon.
If there are any other threads about this issue, please let me know, and I'll post a +2 phones to that list.
Thanks!
JimWell, my iPhone 3G too started to loose battery duration and drop just after a 50% usage, but mine has the push activated, even if configured only on the 'manually' option (and I consulted the iCal only one time today, and one time my emails). I started checking with the push set to update every hour (the iPhone lasted 'til 6:30 p.m.), then set it to manual (now the iPhone lasts 'til 8:30 p.m.), while before the update it lasted until 11:30 p.m. at least, with push set to manual, too. Tried deactivating wifi (no changes at all), and have no third-party apps with push option activated, either.
Oh, the 3G signal has full bars strength, so no problems in reception under that point of view.

Battery life cut in half all of the sudden
The battery in my macbook pro would last about 4 and a half hours browsing the internet and watching some youtube videos. but oddly just this morning after i unplugged it, it only lasted about 2 and half hours. I hadnt done anything but browse a few websites and watch some youtube videos. i tried draining the battery, and then recharging, but it didnt work.
the battery has been running hotter than normal lately, so the fan has been running more often as well. i thought maybe the fan constantly running would be the reason for the battery life issue, but would the fans really cause my battery life to be cut in half? i didnt have this problem this past summer, when temperatures were in the 80s and 90s and my macbook was hot all the time, the battery would still last normally.
what should i do about this?ive done that. no unusual programs are running. and about watching youtube videos. why would it last 4 hours yesterday, and now. while doing something like browsing a website, something that should consume less battery. it only last 2 hours?

Battery life issue, phone shuts down
HI I have an iphone 4S running 6.1.1 and with 10.6GB avail space running 3G on the Fido network. Had the phone for less than a year and it was sent to me as a refurbished
My phone shuts down before it gets to 0%. Sometimes it lets me get to 0% and does a normal shut down, but in some cases it will suddenly just shut down and claim it has no battery life left, then when plug in loads up right away, exactly with all the same apps open and with a good chuck of battery.
Today for example
- Was at 70% when went out on a bike ride
- 2 hours later and after some tethering and listening to music it shuts down all of a sudden while looking at a tweet
- Try to turn back on, says its out of battery
- Get home and plug in, starts up at 17% right back at the same tweetI have the same issue with the same 4S. I thought it was a bug with the camera because it would happen while I was in the middle of taking a picture. The phone would shut down and after attempting to restart it prompted no battery life. But once I plugged the phone in it would start up and show the proper battery % left on the phone.
Another forum on here stated a probelm is with the cold weather which was cauing the battery to lower in tempature, falsly causing a depleted percentage which forced a shutdown. They said all they had to do was let the phone warm up and it would reboot back up just fine.
I thought it odd but most of my issues were when I was outside. That is until just last night when I was in my kitchen taking a picture of something on the counter and it again shut down. I had to plug in the charger, boot it back up and once back up I went right back to the kitchen and tried again and it happened again. So I plugged it in again rebooted and then unplugged the phone and let it sit about 10 minutes on the counter and then tried again and it worked. I am not sure the cold had anytyhing to do with it this time because I had been home a couple of hours already and my home is 70 degrees. It is frustraing. I find myself caring a backup battery to plug in the phone if and when this happens when I am away. Not a good solution.
