Anyone else seeing that the "turbo" charging isn't so turbo?

My Droid Turbo is just over a month old, and the battery seems to be an issue already.  Using the supplied Turbo charger last night with nothing running took almost 3 hours to charge (Nothing "Turbo" about that!!!), and then it is discharging WAY sooner than I would have expected - today I used the device VERY lightly and saw it drop to 75% in just over 2 hours. 

Thanks zellerandy.  Makes sense...I suppose I succumbed to marketing, buying a pretty shiny thing without adequately understanding specs.  So far I'd say the Turbo fails to deliver on its ad campaign.  And looks like I need to actively manage battery users (like having a screen bright enough to be able to read it).  Now I'm kicking myself for not just getting the iPhone.
Also have had a couple of abnormal, unprompted reboots.  Each time, the settings revert from network date/time to device date/time.  That one has me stumped too.

  • Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to sync my new iPad. Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook? I'm angry!

    Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 with Leopard and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that my system can download the relevant iTunes upgrade to sync my new iPad and get my audiobooks (which don't appear anywhere on the device right now). Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook and Snow Leopard costs more also? I don't have financial resources to pay for all the new memory requirement and related upgrades they say I need just to sync my iPad with my purchases.

    Thanks for the reply but I already knew this. $20 for Snow Leopard which asks for 5gb free memory. I can only see that I have 4 gb (which I feel is rather a pathetic amount of available memory for any computer). To upgrade this computer's memory will cost another fee (I haven't researched this yet but gather it's more than $20). Then of course I could also be told that the OSX Mackbook Pro that I have can't be memory upgraded - which means I'm being told to buy a new computer - hence my very frustrated last email. I have been given a lovely iPad 2 as a present and now can't sync at all with anything because of this ongoing upgrade nightmare. How on earth am I going to be able to sync my movies, audiobooks etc to this new device??

  • Hey, does anyone else see that Safari is REALLY slow today?

    Say, does anyone else see that Safari is REALLY slow today?

    Jonathan...
    No problem with Safari here.
    Empty your Safari cache and try resetting Safari.
    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down including browsers.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

  • Does anyone else feel that the iPhone is sluggish after update 1.1.1?

    Is it just me or does anyone else feel that the iPhone feels more sluggish after update 1.1.1? I haven't unlocked or hacked the phone in any way and so it must be due to the update. I thought that the sluggish behavior could be due to a recent update and so I reset the phone. But I still feel that the iPhone has lost that responsiveness that it used to have before. Any one else experiencing this?

    Yes, without question I thought typing, especially, was sluggish at first. However, after a day it has seemed to speed up and now, I'd say, is back to original performance, or close to it.
    Also, I have lots of contacts (2500), and the phone has been very slow to make the first identification of email addresses when I start typing. Specifically, it freezes for several seconds after the first letter is typed. However, I believe that process is a bit faster after this update.

  • Anyone else see that MyVerizon Data Totals Do Not Match Detail?

    We have a 6 GB  share everything plan for 5 devices.  I used the My Verizon app on the phone before I went to bed last night  to look everyone's total data usage,  and it tells me  halfway into my billing cycle, that wer are at 2.5 gigs. All well and good.  But then not an hour later I am awaked by the beep of an incoming ttext message and  email from Verizon that says our usage is now 75% of  our allowance.  WHAT?
    Next AM I log into My Verzon on the PC, not the phone.. We are still at 2.5 gigs according to the grand total on the report.  I then go into each line to see who is using how much and at the bottom,  I select, download to spreadsheet, for each line. . I now have detailed,  date and minute info on how many kilobytes or megabytes were used for the billing period to date  I add them all up for each line and sum all the lines together and whaddaya know, our total usage is 3.9 gigs.  Thats 64% of  allocation, not 75%, but its sure more than 2.5 gigs,
    I place the call into customer service, how come  the text and email warnings do not match how much data you show in the My Verizon app or in the detailed spreadsheets of every single data transaction on each of our phones when placed into a spreadsheet. Initially the rep looked at the same general report I did and assured me my usage was only 2.5 gigs.  So why the warnings and why does the detail show something different from the grand totals in the app?
    Was placed on hold while they did research.  After a bit, the rep came back and said they don't know why the totals do not match, Verizon does think there may be a glitch with the warnings that go out,  however they are going to do some research and will call me back in four days.   Well, I figured this was a bigger problem on their side then one phone call would solve, so no suprise there.  The rep also opined that the detailed usage spreadsheets probably reflects non billable usage, that is, usage will on WIFI. Incredulous, I asked, does this mean Verizon is tracking how much data I use while I am on WIFI and not even on their network? (Am I and my family being spied on?)  Not sure, was the answer, they will get back to me on that one.
    I look forward to the promised call. 
    However, I am very concerned that with being on a limited data plan and nobody has any real idea how much data is used,  the tools furnished to us to measure how much we consume may be unreliable and totally inaccurate.  We will see what they say.  Anyone else?

    The app isn't always up to date. Neither is the website it will tell you the last time they have for each phone usage. We have multiple smartphones never had an issue will data billing being wrong. No Verizon doesn't count wi-fi usage. No Verizon is not spying on you. Verizon couldn't care less how many "lol cats" pictures you look at everyday. The data meter on my phone( not the Verizon app the actual data app on my Android phone ) matches what Verizon says I will say 97% or more.

  • Has anyone else noticed that the iOS 6 Maps App is missing the area code for many places it has listed?

    If I try to look up a local business on the Maps App it drops a pin on all of the locations matching my search parameters. However, when I get details about a dropped pin, the phone number is usually missing the area code! For example, if the phone number is +1 (123) 555-5555 it would show up as +1 (555) 555-5. This makes it impossible to call directly from the maps app or to copy and paste infront of a manually entered area code (because of the '+1'). Has anyone else noticed this?

    Have you checked to make sure that your region settings are correct?

  • Does anyone else find that the new firefox 4 sucks? How do I get back the old one?

    I upgraded to the new firefox 4 and I HATE it... I tried to uninstall it, and lost all my bookmark tabs, and then I tried to install the old firefox but couldn't, it only allows me to use the new one, which is also slowing down my laptop big time! Has this happened to anyone else?

    I've not had any problems with Firefox 4 being slower, but I've never been so disappointed with a program in years. I went back to 3.6.16 and it's much more stable. I'm an attorney and use the Bankruptcy Court websites daily--literally, hourly--and 4 crashes on them repeatedly, will not download mailing matrices, will not print claims registers, or literally do ANYTHING as well as 3.6 did. If a browser won't do that, then it's worthless to me. We HAVE to have stable programs, and everything now in the Federal courts nationwide has to be electronic filing. I've tried all the tricks I know (and I've been a computer user and builder ever since Win 3.1) and nothing saved it. I finally uninstalled 4, did NOT offload my user profiles, and they all picked up again on 3.6.16. I don't plan on going back to 4--ever.

  • Anyone else noticed that the upload to iCloud from Photos.app takes a very long time?

    I have a Photos library that weight about 60 gig. I have 200 gig on iCloud. Photos have now been sending data  for over 12 hours at a 200 K/sec pace. Has anyone else experienced slow sending? Anyone who has an idea of what I can do? Or maybe it's just a very long way to send images from Sweden to US and back again to my other devices.

    Part of the issue is that Apple's servers are likely under some strain. The other part of it is, how fast is your upload from your ISP? 5Mbps upload is the standard for most Americans, but that only means 625KB/sec maximum.
    Apple appears to be aware of how long large libraries will take to first upload, which is why Photos preferences offers the option to pause the upload for a day. That implies to me that this will take many days to upload completely.

  • Does anyone else think that the new update 5.1.1 drains battery life faster than 5.1?

    I charged my phone to 100% last night and unpluged it last night before going to bed. 10 hours later, when I got up, my battery had went down all the way to 68% and with no apps running in the background... All while my iPhone's currently running on IOS 5.1.1. I never had this problem with IOS 5.1, when the battery would only drop to around 97% overnight.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    With Phone, Messages, and Setting apps active and
    Celllular data enabled, my AT&T 64 gig, 4S drops about 4-5%
    overnight.  Which is about what it was with 5.1.
    So, I personally have seen no change in battery performance
    and when using the phone I haven't seen any difference either.

  • Has anyone else noticed that the flag accelerators are broken in LR5?

    I'm running LR5 on Windows 64 bit and have noticed that the flag accelerator keys, P, U and X don't work. When I press these in the Library module, the text pop-up tells me that the appropriate flag state is being set but the flag never actually changes state. To change the flag, I have to right click and use the "Set Flag..." context menu. This makes editing a lot slower since I can no longer move through all the shots and pick selects and rejects using the keyboard. Can anyone suggest a workaround?

    Rikk,
       Thanks for the pointer. In the end, it seems that this was some local weirdness. It's been failing for a couple of days but, after posting the question, I closed LR and restarted and, hey presto, the accelerators and working correctly again. Probably just another case of Windows bit rot but I'll keep my eyes open for a repeat since I've never seen Lightroom behave that way before.

  • Anyone else finding that the keyword editor doesn't refresh properly upon changes

    When I have a clip with multiple keywords and I want to delete one of the keywords in the keyword editor, I find that the editor window refreshes incorrectly. The results are accurate but the editor appears to erase the wrong keyword.   Not the worst bug, but annoying.  It reminds we of the refresh problems in the browser when applying custom names 10.1.

    but any time I do a find for a certain keyword,
    Try the find menu (edit/find or cmd+F). In Source choose your main folder all your files are in. Criteria choose keyword and fill in one of the keywords you want.
    Be sure to have a checkmark in fornt of the options 'Include all subfolders' and 'include Non indexed files'.
    Hit find and let Bridge do it's searching. This first time may take a bit long but now Bridge starts indexing all files. After this you should be able to use the option for finding keywords as normal.

  • Has anyone else noticed that the Verizon reps in here are just not very helpful?

    Maybe its me, but I notice that the worse responses to someone in need come from those with Verizon customer service.  Its like they are not really paying attention to the question, responses, or problem and just type a pat scripted response with this annoying fake empathy. 
    I'll start. 
    Advice #1:
    I think every Verizon Rep in this community forum should get a cell phone. An Android smartphone...on the Verizon network....one that just recently got the Kit Kat update.  I WANT THEM TO FEEL OUR PAIN!!!!
    (From many of the VZW CS responses, its like there are clueless to what is going on. Like they don't have any experience with the cell phones problems we describe.)

  • Has anyone else noticed that: "The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that: Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep" didn't work?

    I installed OS X Lion v10.7.3 because of the following claim.
    The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that:
    Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep
    It continues to be a real pain having to reconnect to the network each time I wake my MacBook Air from sleep.
    Does anyone have a suggestion for the resolution to this problem?

    It seems the update fixed old problems for some and caused new problems for others. Sorry to hear you're in the latter group.
    Here are some things to try.
    1. Go to System Preferences > Network, and click the gear icon under the network interfaces like so:
    Whatever service order you have set, drag Wi-Fi either to the top (assuming it's not already there) or someplace else in the list. Click OK and then Apply. Sleep the system then wake it again to observe any changes.
    2. Click Wi-Fi in the above then click Advanced. Select all the networks your computer has ever joined and delete them with the "-" button. OK then Apply again. Select your network under the AirPort icon to re-join it. Sleep and wake again to see if that did anything.
    3. Try creating a new, temporary user account. Log in under that account to see if its behavior is any different.
    You may have done all of these already but perhaps there is something you have not thought of. If nothing helps we may just have to wait a bit longer for Apple to release a fix.

  • Is anyone else finding that the acceloromiter does not seem to work in some aps with iOS7

    Have recently (as most would have) upgraded to iOS7 on my iPad and iPhone, love it but I am find a few of my apps like eBay and remote do not rotate to landscape naymore. any one else with  this issue and is there a fix?

    As hunter9000 pointed out above, your code has syntax errors; are you even able to compile this?
    The braces "{" and "}" delimit classes, methods, and blocks ( including if/ while/ for etc ).
    Methods must be within classes i.e. after the opening brace and before the closing brace of a class.
    Similarly, statements and other blocks must be within the method.
    In your code, you have blocks simply floating about in your class, NOT allowed. They must be in a method. This is why proper indentation is important, anyone would be able to catch problem like this with just a quick glance.
    public void enter()
        {//opening brace for the enter method
            numberOfVisitors = numberOfVisitors + 1; //This takes the number of visitors adds it to itself and then adds 1
            totalFees = totalFees + fee; //This takes the fees of the day adds it to itself and then adds 12
    //    } //NO! You're closing the method too early. More content follows.
    //    { NO! You're making an unecessary block here
    //, reducing readability and potentially putting variables out of scope
            if(numberOfVisitors == 10)
            { //If the number of visitors = 10 then it should set isFull = True
              //opening brace for your if block
                isFull = true;
            }  //close the if block
    //        {//NO! again, unecessary block
            if (isFull)
            { //Once it is true the string should be shown to say that know more people can enter.
                System.out.println("The Exibition is currently full");
    //} extra brace from earlier
    }//close the methodClearer now?

  • Does anyone else feel that the Photoshop CS5 type tool hates them?

    As a general rule I have no problems with PS CS5 and enjoy many of the features. Just struggled through the Classroom in a Book chapter on Typographic Design and find that getting the type tools and the text to behave is just a complete siege. it will not highlight properly, will not format all the selected text. Paragraph, Vertical and Horizontal all behave badly. God forbid you should right-align text and then highlight and the flashing cursor size bares no relation to the size of font to be typed; no crashes though. Complete nightmare. Am I alone? The only program I have found more anti-typography was (shudder) Corel 11 many moons back...a dark, dark time. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and am all up to date on patches. First time on the forum so apologies for any lapse in ettiquette. Any help appreciated.

    What video card do you actually have?  It's possible even the latest drivers are buggy, especially if it's one that's no longer currently being supported or if it's very new.
    Are you sure no fonts have been added to your system?  Just visiting web pages can add fonts.  If you'd like to double check the list you have, I have a freshly installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 test system on which I just did a listing of the fonts in the \Windows\Fonts folder:
