Battery Charge doesn't last...

Hi
My charge only lasts 8-10 hours. Obviously, something is running in the background.
What's the best way to shut down an application? Do I hit the END key (red button) or use the back-space buttone to return to the main (desktop) screen?
Thanks

Since updating to ios7 my ipad freezes, randomly zooms in and out, black pages that take forever to load and battery charge doesn't last very long. It's very frustrating, is there anything I can do it seems to have a mind of its own

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings

Satellite A200-1UQ - Battery charger doesn't work

Hi
I got A200 1UQ and my battery charger doesnt work.
Btw Im from Turkiye.
Can I find the original one, if I cant can I use universal battery charger?
Thanks

On the Toshiba website you can search for a compatible charger and the part number:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Peripherals & Services => PC Options & Accessories => PC Options & Accessories Home Page
If you have the part number you can search with Google for this number. If you cant find something you should contact an authorized service provider. They can order all Toshiba parts.
I hope I could help you a little bit.

Got a new battery, STILL doesn't last long!

i got a new battery 3 days ago from the mac store because my old one lasted only 30 minutes. i charged it up fully, and then let it run down all the way, and i only get about 2:22 battery life now. when i was letting the battery drain, i had at least 3 or more hours of battery life. apple advertises 5 hours of life...is this normal for a brand new battery?

I get around 4 hours with fairly minimal activity (web surfing, listening to iTunes, nothing too major in Aperture, etc.), with about half to 3/4 screen brightness. I definitely notice that the time left estimates will drop when Aperture is crunching on something (like making previews and thumbnails out of newly imported images), or the optical drive is spun up. I'm curious to see how long it'll last with a DVD movie in the drive, since I'll be on a plane here next week and would like to watch a movie.
Anyway, it's certainly better than the crappy Sony battery it came with, which was only at 33% health and gave me about an hour and a half of battery life before dying. Apple sent me a new battery which was made by SMP and it works much better.

My battery life doesn't last the work day. Any suggestions on getting longer life? Does it have something to do with Apps?

I can not get my battery life to last an entire work day. All I really do is check emails, calendars and facebook. Usually by 4pm, it is 3/4 of the way used up. Someone told me that I could be because of my apps and that they could be runnign all the time. Is there a way to turn them off when not using?

When I updated my iPhone 4 to the latest version my battery life doesn't last at all. What can I do?

I never had a battery concern till I updated to the latest version of software. What can I do?

Did you already 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 data by resetting.
If this does not help, set it up as new device:

I bought a ipad mini online from the apple store. His battery doesn't last more than 6h. I return it back to them they send me a new one, but the problem is same. Battery doesn't last more than 5-6h!

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.

Top case got replaced; battery doesn't last as long as the old one

My rMBP mid 2012 had a problem with the trackpad so I got the top case replaced, since the warraty was expired and I was stupid enoght not buy the apple care, It cost me around $650 USD, got it back last tuesday, everything seems to work fine except for the battery, it doesn't last as long as the old one, wich is kinda of wierd since the old one was around one and a half years old, should I consider taking it back to the Apple Premiun Reseller where I got it fixed? how common are these issues? Finally I read on reddit that I can ship my laptop to an official Apple store/service and got it diagnose or fixed? Is it worth it? I read that some folks got it exchange for a new one, the conditions of my laptop are pretty good, I have taken extreme good care of it, but some problems still arise, it has a couple of white stuck pixels in the display besides the problems that I already mentioned already.
Cheers!

I have the MacBook Air 11' and on http://apple.com it says the battery is supposed to last 9 hours.
Did you read carefully?
Note the words 'up to' not 'will' last 9 hours. Apple makes these measurements based on very minimal resource intensive applications. My experience that battery run time is much less than these unrealistic advertising claims. Battery run time will be a function of the number and types of applications that are in use.
Try a SMC reset:

That may improve things somewhat.

Why does the Battery life of my iPhone 4 doesn't last as long as it used to before updating my software to iOS 6? Can this problem be fixed?

Hey there,
I have upgraded the iOS on my iPhone 4 to the iOS 6 and now my battery life doesn't last as long as it use to. I read something about Safari syncing some currupted bookmarks and whatnot. I basically need to know how could I fix this problem. I know that the iphone needs to have a decent perfomance regarding the battery life, since I've had it for less than 6 months now.
Any help will be appreciated!

Why is my iPhone 4S stuck on a 1% battery charge, despite being charged for 30 hours?

I have had my iPhone 4S for barely ten months. In the past, I have had small problems that would either fix themselves or just stop occurring, such as freezing issues. But recently my phone was drained to a 1% and after realizing this I quickly plugged it into a car charger. About 15 minutes later, I noticed it had switched to an 100% battery charge. I blew it off and the next time I glanced at my phone it was back to 1%, so I turned it off thinking it would reset it and I would leave it to charge. I came back to the phone maybe 30 minutes later to power it up and it displayed the red sliver of battery with a lightning bolt underneath it. It stayed like this for a good while and eventually came on. Since then it has been stuck on this 1% battery charge. One last thing I noticed was that the bolt inside of the battery on the top right hand corner sometimes shows a plug, saying its fully charged. I'd rather not turn it off because I'm not sure it will come back on. What do you guys suggest I do?

I have this same issue... the phone was fine, then 3 days ago then I noticed it was draining itself whilst on charge. Now it charges to 1% and lasts all day on that unless I reboot, then it just says plug it in and wont reboot! I have had a 100% charge, but it drained down to 9% in under an hour and then stayed at 9% all day. This is obviously an issue, so why is Apple not sorting it out?
Also, these kind of comments (BELOW) are about as useful as, "is it plugged in?"
"diesel vdub Atlanta, GA
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore.
Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved."
I have tried 3 cables, 2 wall chargers and 2 docks, so it has nothing to do with those. I have cleaned the connections, so it's not dirt. It isn't water damage as the phone has been nowhere near water.

HT201263 Unable to update, restore or recover. Slider doesn't slide and number pad doesn't work for passcode. What next? Worked last night . Battery charged. When I push Home button I get my backgroung but can't slide slider. Device is recognized by iTune

Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

Battery Doesn't Last The Day!!!!!

Hello everyone,
I just purchased my Blackberry Pearl 8130 not even a week ago and the only thing bugging me right now is the fact that the battery doesn't even last a day. I left it for 6 hrs without touching it and the battery went down 40%!!!!
I am just wondering if this is a common thing with this phone, I mean I know the phone does alot, and I know it is constantly sending and recieving data or at least mine seems to be. I just want to know if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve the battery life! I mean when I first purchased the phone I let the battery run out and then charged it I am not charging it when it is half full, the battery is always dead when I charge it.
Also MSN messenger doesn't seem to be working either I am getting an error 67 failure to reach server....anyone else having this issue???
Sincerely,
Kat

Turn off the gps, if you have gps on the phone and turn off bluetooth, if you're not using it. That will help some. If this continues, go to your provider and ask them who to talk to about battery replacement. Occasionally, a battery just doesn't live up to its charge. Also, you should recharge these types of batteries when they are a little less than half way drained. They are better suited for this type of charging. Only drain completely maybe once a month or so. Hope that helps some. Sam

Does anyone else think the 4s battery is TERRIBLE?! It doesn't last t all!!

Anyone else having a bad battery? Mine doesn't last
More than 6 hours

This is a very interesting discussion as I am doing precisely this as well. I am taking my old home movies, pulling in the 2-hour video and then splitting it in PE7 (via control-k). I then make individual avi's from it by deleting all the segments except one, "sharing" the avi, reloading (or undoing) to get my clips back and deleting all except the next one. its a tedious business but it works.

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! They said it should be pulsating but it's not

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! I already read some reviews and discussion about this. They said that the lightning bolt should pulsate when charging but it's not!

Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...
