  • I am experiencing low battery backup after upgrade to OS X Mavericks

    i am experiencing low battery backup after upgrade to OS X Mavericks

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • Very low Battery backup

    I have a BB curve 9300, my friends who are having the same device are getting good battery backup. But, mine gets almost exhausted in 12-18hrs........... 
    Any advices???

    So good tips-
    Turn off bluetooth and wifi when not inuse
    Delete unused apps
    Review the refresh time on apps like Facebook, twitter etc - refreshing every 10minutes will kill your battery
    general usage - if you are satisfied playing games or listening to music your phone will run out faster than someone who just uses their phone occasionally 

  • Heating problem and battery backup

    Recently I bought a macbook pro (7 days). I am facing heating problem and its battery backup is also not good, 3-4 hrs, but company claims 7 hrs. What should I do?

    For more on laptop temperature, look here:

    Take note of this part:
    While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead,contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

  • White screen appeared twice now when Curve 8520 battery is low? (Please Help)

    I'm really worried that my Blackberry is going to die ... I've only had it just over a year & I'm still paying for it, so for it to die on me would be truly upsetting!!
    I've had the white screen twice now while my battery is low, I've seen a fix online about if you get the white screen & it won't come back on, but I don't know if that would be good for me to do, also can you please let me know before any fix if I will lose anything such as my BBM contacts for example!!!!!
    Here's my device info as requested :

    I've done a battery pull each time the phone has done this ... & it's just re-booted the phone fine, but the fact the white screen issue has happened to me twice now in the past few days is worrying, it's always when the battery is low .... I've noticed the battery seems to charge up quite quickly too ... not sure whether that means anything.
    Please kindly help as soon as you possibly can ... I want to fix this early on the best way I can with hopefully not losing anything either ... such a gutter!! :-(

  • Low Battery - Battery too low for Radio use - And Curve will not Charge - HELP!!!

    Need help and lost without BB.  My BB displays Low Battery.  If I try and make a call I get Battery too low for Radio use.  I have tried to charge the BB but nothing happens and still cannot make call or charge unit.  Tried charging overnight with car charger and A/C adapter.  Tried removing battery for one minute and reinstalling.
    Any ideas????

    Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
    When you are connected to the charger, do you see the lightning bold charging symbol displayed over or next to the battery indicator on the screen of the device? If so, then let it charge a while. A battery at less than 10% charge can take an hour or more to get just 10% higher, and then the charging will move faster.
    If you are not seeing the charging indicator, then you could have a bad USB port.
    If you connect it to your PC via the USB cable, does the BlackBerry appear to connect?

  • Fios battery backup questions

    I am wondering if the fios battery backup is okay with generator power.  I have a generac whole house generator and I have one ups that is fine with it and a smaller one that does not like the power it puts out.
    Wondering if the fios ups will work with it or keep going on and off house power during an outage.
    Also, does the fios backup keep every fios service running?  I realize the stb's need another power supply.

    astro_guy wrote:
    Does Verizon offer an option where they back up the internet service as well?  It just seems silly to back up one UPS with another.  It's hard to imagine that this option wouldn't be available for business customers.
     No, the BBU is only intended for the phone system. The thought behind that was that if power went out, then your computers and TV's would not have power to run (not considering laptop batteries) so there would be no need for internet and video to work if the power was out. And with only having to power the phone, the power draw is low enough to make a battery feasible. If it had to power the internet and video as well, that battery would have a significantly lower life expantcy. And many areas of the country require the phone to work for a certain amount of time which is one of the reasons for the battery in the first place. Adding the other services to that list would lower the battery life enough to violate the reqirements for the phone to work. Hence, the bbu only powers the tv/internet for 5 minutes after the power goes out, then it drops the internet/video to save power for the phone.

  • Nokia 5800xm, very bad battery backup

    hi all,
    i have just bought Nokia 5800 XM, a week back. I am facing a very bad experience with this new phone since its giving a poor battery backup. The battery is not lasting even a day. I charge it fully in night and it starts getting down next day evening.
    I am not using any application, neither any surfing. My talktime in a day is around 3 hrs max and listen to music max 1 hr.
    Please suggest any workarounds, is this a generic problem all people are facing with this handset.
    Should i contact nokia for replacing it?  

    First, make sure you don't have any open applications in the background. Turn off bluetooth, Wi-Fi. Reduce the screen brightness to the minimum required for legibility. Reduce the level of haptic feedback. Make sure there is a good network coverage. Update the firmware to the latest version...
    If these are done, then take a look at the battery: use the phone until the battery goes dead, or until you see the Battery Low message a couple of times. Then, charge the batter to 100%, uninterrupted. Now, repeat it 2-3 times. After that, use the phone like you normally do. Charge it as and when you want.
    If you are comparing the performance with what is there in the spec-sheet, please be informed that what you see in the specs are the ideal values - under "standard test conditions". In practical life, you should expect considerable differences. 3 hours of calls and 1 hour of music does mean a good deal of strain on the battery. If the music is thru loudspeakers, it adds to it.

  • Blackberry 9320 broken,9360 on the same route due to "battery to low for radio use" etc

    My previous blackberry 9320 ,which I can't use anymore, aswell as my 9360 that's on the same route as the previous one started out in the beginning with
    -battery to low for radio use(which I would turn back on)
    Later my memory card couldn't be recognized, after some attempts of "fixing the broken files" as the phone would say, and then "repairing failed"
    Problems got worse ,as if I allready can't use a memory card because all 3 got broken somehow,but after that it started saying "battery to low for radio use" then my battery would in a matter of seconds drain and then a message I get atleast 30 times a day "battery drained,shuttingdown handheld". It gets worse, then it says the same message ,but only this time the battery is full, because the phone must be pluged in too a charger to be able to start, and as I call it, then has to be on "life-support"(charging like 24/7). These problems seem to be activated by high radio use or just plainly to irretate a person. I'm very dissatisfied with blackberry and I seek answers. now here comes the catch, I took my previouse blackberry,the 9320, in 2 times to get the software updated and the last time they couldn't say why this is happening , aswell as try putting another(new) blackberry 9320 battery in the phone. It worked for 3 days,no kidding, and the same problems in their stages began.I fear my blackberry 9360 is on the same route and I'm dissatisfied with these products for its expensive and causing trouble. Please help me resolve this problem ???p.s both phones were newly bought since they are contract phones.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Given that you've already begun formal service for this issue, I recommend you continue with that. After all, they said it was fixed, but it's not...don't you want to challenge them on that fact?
    Good luck!

    sir since update of ios 8.1.2 i got serious battery problem on 3g 4.30 hrs my battery gets low and sometimes serious net probelms please give an update for this issue its not alone me my friends too getting many problem commonly battery problem please can this be resolved
    its not related to any hardware because last year april i got replacement new phone from apple and i maintained it well...!

    Probably apps running in the background are causing this, sometimes Mail get's stuck connecting to the mail server, or some social media app like Facebook can also be a reason for prolonged background activity.
    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

  • Poor battery backup

    Hi
    I recently got Mac Book Pro with Retina Display. Apple is claiming 7 hour battery backup but I am getting only approx 4.5 hours of battery backup. Any suggestions to increase the battery backup. I have tried disabling "Adjust Screen Brightness" & "Adjust keyboard lightness in low light".
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks
    Ratnesh

    The Apple claims for battery life are based on very conservative test conditions that hardly reflect real life conditions.  Read their fine print very carefully.  I have found that 60%-70% of the advertised rate is an acceptable parameter.  Now if you use some really CPU intensive applications, the battery time will plummet.
