Alternative methods for checking battery health

Model: 8922-A26, 3000 C200
So in the process of trying my hardest to keep a recalcetrant C200 from it's sixth visit to the service centre in less than 11 months of ownership, I am trying to see if there's anything I can do to improve its battery life beyond the pitiful 30min i'm currently getting.
Being a longtime thinkpad customer, I tried all the usual methods including the three-cycle power down and drain trick to recondition the battery, with no solution and ran through all the possible solutions in MIGR-63114 to no success at all.
Except one - verify the health of the unit's battery, an online tool which uses ActiveX applets to work some black magic and tell you if it's pooped or not. However, it seems this tool is broken.
It's not working in either IE6 or 7, and despite prompting you to install all the AX components nothing ever happens no matter how long you leave it. And if sitting around isn't good enough for you, you can stare at the broken image which is supposed to be a progress bar.
Does anyone have any alternative ways of checking the battery health on a C200 or firing off some reconditioning tools to save me being another week without this unit? I don't mind dealing with the phone support group, but i'll be darned if I let the service techs near the unit again because I just know my luck will see them fix or replace the wrong part - for the third time in a row.

I don't believe there is a way but more than likely an Apple Store can check it if there is one nearby.
I've seen a post or two here reporting the same and the solution provided (which claimed to help) was using the iPhone until the battery is depleted causing the iPhone to turn off. Plug it in and allow it to charge completely.
And if you haven't already done so, it can't hurt to Reset and/or Restore your iPhone.

Alternative method for loadObjectLibrary()

Hi,
Iam new commer to this openscript.Urgent.. Please any one help me which one is the alternative method for loadObjectLibrary() in openscript9.2.

Termination
Set Up Personnel Actions
Create reasons for Personnel Actions
Define Action Type for Termination
Define Infogroups
Determine Periods of Notice
Before making the settings in feature 40TRM, you must set the same Action Type for the Action
Reasons N0, N1 and N2 in the table view Reason for Action (V_T530).
you can use IMG link under Payroll India -> Termination -> Create reasons for Personnel Actions.
For example- if 40TRM return value is 10 then there shud be action reasons N0, N1, N2 for the Action 10 in V_T530.
well 1 more thing, enter the pernr in termination workbench and press ENTER then try to check F4 of 'Reason'.
I know it looks funny but as the pernr is mandatory field there, you need to press 'Enter' after this.

Is there any alternative method for GET_FRONTEND_FIELDCATALOG in CL_GUI_ALV

Hi all,
Please let me know if there is any alternative method for GET_FRONTEND_FIELDCATALOG (CL_GUI_ALV_GRID class) in the class CL_SALV* family. I need to capture the field catalog(Or list of fields) of the current output list.
I have saved many layouts on my ALV output with different combinations of fields, When I select one layout and click on the custom button it should process only the fields displayed on ALV.Please let me know how do I get the fields displayed on ALV using CL_SALV_* family classes.
Thanks,

FYI: Apple provides a method for checking for Activation Lock

Apple have provided a method of checking before purchase that an iOS device isn't Activation Locked.
http://www.idownloadblog.com/2014/10/01/activation-lock-status-check/
Basically you just go to iCloud.com/ActivationLock and enter the IMEI number and a catchpa.

I wasn sure if any Apple reps trolled the boards or not. That is the exact message I sent to Feedback. If enough users send the same message, maybe they'll set something up.
Apple is at risk for losing loyal product loyal customers.
i want to get my son an iPad, but really cannot afford a new one. Even if I buy one with a cracked screen and repair it, I still run the risk of not being able to use it. I know there's a process the previous owner can go through, but sometimes it can or won't get done! especially if it goes through a reseller. Apple will still make some money from me in the App Store and through iTunes, just not through their product store yet.

How to check battery health..

My battery seems to be having issues.. How do I check the general health of the battery?

I'm in a similar position. I was told about a widget you can download for the dashboard called istat nano.
It gives you a health percentage of the battery as well as other diagnostic details about the mac. The only thing I'm unsure about is how accurate the information it gives you is.

Help me for sure battery health..!?

Or how much to reaplaced battery !?
And pls tips for battery life ....!?

The full charge capacity is small, but if the battery life is enough for you, you can continue using your Mac, as OS X says that the battery is working.
If you think that the battery life is small, take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller and you will get your battery replaced for $129. To know more about your battery, see > http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html

DownloadServlet or alternative method for file download

I have searched the forums for this topic and have seen one other posting from someone having the same problem (with no response). I can not get the oracle.jsp.webutil.fileaccess.DownloadServlet to fully function. Using the file access example code that is installed with iAS and following the instructions in the manual "Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE JSP Tag Libraries and Utilities Reference 10g (9.0.4)" I can get the file upload to work just fine (both to a file and to the database). However with the file download it stops short of working. It will access the DownloadServlet and list the files that have been uploaded, but when you try to follow the link that it creates you get a "400 Bad Request"
If you look at the URL it creates I see what I think is a problem
Here is a clip of code from dbBeanDownloadExample.jsp that creates the URL
The following files were found:
<% Enumeration fileNames = dbean.getFileNames();
while (fileNames.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String)fileNames.nextElement();
%>
 <a href="<%= servletPath + name +
 ?"+FileAccessUtil.SRCTYPE_PARAM + "=" + dbean.getSourceType() +
"&"+FileAccessUtil.TABLE_PARAM + "=" + dbean.getTable() +
"&"+FileAccessUtil.PREFIX_COL_PARAM + "=" + dbean.getPrefixColumn() +
"&"+FileAccessUtil.DATA_COL_PARAM + "=" + dbean.getDataColumn() +
"&"+FileAccessUtil.FNAME_COL_PARAM + "=" + dbean.getFileNameColumn() +
"&"+FileAccessUtil.FILETYPE_PARAM + "=" + dbean.getFileType() %> ">
<%= name %></a>
<% } %>
and here is one of the URLs
http://iasserver.here.com:7779/ojspdemos/servlet/download/beanexample\fields.txt?srcType=database&fileType=binary&table=fileaccess&prefixCol=fileprefix&fileNameCol=filename&dataCol=data
The problem I see is the fileprefix (from the upload) "beanexample" and the filename "fields.txt" is appended to the end of the servlet "download", while the rest of the parameters to the DownloadServlet are passed in the proper manner "srcType=database". I have been unable to find any documentation on the DownloadServlet so I don't know if there are setters for the fileprefix or the filename.
This example code has been out for sometime, I know it was with iAS 9.0.2. Has any one been successful implementing the download of a file from the database using the oracle.jsp.webutil.fileaccess.HttpDownloadBean or the tag?
Certainly Oracle must test this stuff before they release it. At some point I think this must have work.

Larry, the DownloadServlet certainly worked at some point of time as ensured by the automated tests. It should work all the time, I believe, unless......

there are setters for the fileprefix or the filename.A nice observation. That is the root cause of the problem, I believe. Actually, the documentation is right there in the example dbBeanDownloadExample.jsp. You should use
 String name = (String)fileNames.nextElement()).replace('\\','/');
as in the example instead of
 String name = (String)fileNames.nextElement();
Well, I will check if this point of changing '\' to '/' have been made explicitly in the documentation. That kind s of tiny point is sometimes really a killer.
Hope this helps.

Alternative method for Creationcomplete....

Hi guys..
 I am trying to load bunch of product detail into a canvas component from a List component.
Every time the user clicks on a product inside my List, the product detail will be displayed in the canvas component.
The product detail might contain null and I want to check it before displaying in my canvas component. In my canvas component, I use createcomplete to check if the productDetail==null then do something.
My problem is if the user clicks the product with the non-null detail first time, the statement "if (productDetail==null) then do something" won't work if the user click a null product detail because the canvas component has been created the first time user clicks a non-null product detail.
I want to check if the productDetail==null every time the user click a product...I hope I explain my question well and appreciate any helps.
My code..
<s:List dataProvider={productData}/> //when user click a product, the canvas will show product detail..
<comp:canvas /> //if the product detail is null, the statement inside the canvas will check via creationComplete. but if the user click the non-null product, //the creationComplete check pass. User clicks a null product again, the check won't work anymore...
code for my canvas component:
protected function canvas1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
var undefinedBrand:String=dataFromClick.getItemAt(0).brand;
 if(undefinedBrand==null){ // I want to check every time the user click a List item
 brand.text="Brand: No Brand";
 switchView.enabled=false;
 displayPictureBig.source="assets/vacant.jpg";
Thanks for the helps..

The problem is not that understandable... but still according to me don't go for creationcomplete ...
Go for change event of list... write in change handler whether the product details is null or not and then accordingly make canvas visible ..
I hope you got my point!!!

Alternative method for displaying images blobs stored in DB

I am trying to use an Application Process as a means to displaying images stored in BLOB columns in my table. And it works except for one problem. The code for my on-demand Application Process is below (the name of the application process is OUTPUT_IMAGE):
DECLARE
l_mime VARCHAR2(255);
l_length NUMBER;
l_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT photo_mime_type,
photo_blob,
photo_filename,
dbms_lob.getlength(photo_blob)
INTO l_mime,
lob_loc,
l_file_name,
l_length
FROM persons
WHERE id = 260;
owa_util.mime_header(nvl(l_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE);
htp.p('Content-length: ' || l_length);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: filename="' || l_file_name || '"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(lob_loc);
END;
I can then create HTML like:
<img src="f?p=[my_app_id]:0:[the_session_id]:APPLICATION_PROCESS=OUTPUT_IMAGE">
Which works nicely.
The question/problem is: How can I pass the ID of the record (whose BLOB I want to display) to the Application Process? (In the code above you'll see the value of 260 is currently hard coded). I thought about tacking on something like "&my_id=xxx' to the end of the URL but doing so prevents the Application Process from even running. 
All comments/suggestions much appreciated, 
Thanks,
 
Andy

Andrew,
The URL for an Application Process uses the standard f?p syntax.
Try passing your value like this:
< img src="f?p=[my_app_id]:0:[the_session_id]:APPLICATION_PROCESS=OUTPUT_IMAGE:NO::MY_ID:[the value to send]"> You would need to have an item called MY_ID.
Your query could then refer to it as
WHERE id = :MY_ID;

How to turn on Optimized Battery Health Mode

I recently bought a G505 laptop and a popup window tells me I should use the "Optimized Battery Health Mode".
However, nowhere on the popup does it tell me how to do this.
I have searched online and also with the Lenovo Solution Center and find there are all kinds of battery modes
that are spoken of and various ways to access them. However, I cannot find "Optimized Battery Health Mode" anywhere!
I see "Balanced Mode" and "Power Saver Mode" but no "Optimized Battery Health Mode" anywhere.
If I go to the Lenovo Solution center, I cannot find battery settings anywhere under the system tab.
Can anyone tel me how to get my G505 laptop into "Optimized Battery Health Mode"?
Many thanks!

I finally figured it out. If anyone else needs to do this here how I did it.
1) Right click on the battery icon on toolbar, then choose power options
2) From here click on "Change Plan Settings"
3) From here click "Change Advanced Power Settings"
4) This opens up a small window, choose the "Lenovo Energy Management" tab on top
5) Click the "Enable Lenovo Energy Management" button
6) This opens up yet another window with the option for "optimized Battery Health"
Wow, they sure don't make it easy do they?

CSS Script for checking RADIUS Service

Hi,
We are using CSS 11501 boxes for load-sharing RADIUS (NAC) requests between different ACS Servers.
How can I configure a keepalive method for checking the RADIUS service on the ACS Servers ?
If this needs to be a script then Can anyone provide some hints\tips ?
Thanks,
Naman

This needs to be a script.
The best way would be to sniff a request/response from a known user [or fake user], then extract the udp header + payload in hex format, then create a CSS script to send the hex formatted query and to verify that the hex formatted response matches the server response.
I believe the ap-kal-dns script uses a similar approach so you can look at it to get an idea of what you have to do.

IdeaPad V570 'Best battery health'

On the energy management panel under the option for "Best battery health," it says this setting will limit charge capacity to 0-45% or 0-50%. Is there any way to raise this limit above 50%? I'd ideally like to limit the charge to about 80%.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Peano and welcome to the community,
Limiting the charge to 50% has been shown to give the battery its longest life. Older versions kept the charge at 80%.
The only way to keep the charge at 80% using your version would be to change the setting to runtime and charging the battery to 80%, then changing the setting back to best battery health. Your battery will lose its charge gradually.
Probably about 1% a day.
Older versions might or might not work with your machine. If you do decide to experiment, uninstall your current version first before you install a new one. Also keep in mind that the Hotkeys utility is incorporated into the Energy Management.
Another version might make things work funny.
