HT1222 Has anyone else noticed much greater battery consumption since iOS 5.1.1 update for iPhone?

Since iOS 5.1.1 update has anyone else noticed a much greater battery consumption on all fronts? My phone used to rock steady all day and know is around 47% 12 noon to 1 pm with the same amount of usage.

Heres a support question... how the **** do I fix the dramatic battery drain problem that came about after installing 5.1.1? Suggestions for fixing problems on iTunes did not work.

IPhone 3gs battery consumption very high after updating to IOS 6

HI,
After updating my iphone 3GS to ios 6,battery consumption is very high.I observed this changes in my iphone 3gs after updating my iphone 3gs to IOS 6.

Is there a SIM in the device? A SIM is required for activation.
The most common reason for activation issues is due to the device being hacked or jailbroken. If this is the case, no support can be provided here and Apple will not touch the device.

Can't use WIFI and the battery consumption goes much faster

I can't use WIFI after my iphone4s was updated to ios6.0 and the battery consumption goes much faster, how to solve ?

This seems to be a problem relatet to the current versions of the app. After uninstalling Spotify I installed an older version, 2.8.0.1081, which worked perfectly with wifi. No newer versions seem to work so I hope there will be a fix soon. I've tried changing the UPnP as well as NAT filtering settings, but the newer versions of the app still wont work.

Help with Battery Life Droid Razr M KitKat update jacked up my phone like everyone elses'...

So as with everyone else KitKat has screwed my phone up and I am very annoyed... Disregarding the fact that I had to download a different keyboard because they removed Swype and screwed up the dialer and the colors of our texts, erased the calendar which thank God I didn't use because a friend who did had all her appointments removed it totally jacked up my battery life. Yesterday I literally had a full charge at about 9:30am and by 11:30 it was down to about 30%. I had not used it much at all and it was connected to my bluetooth in my car. The phone also gets hot for no reason when not charging or being used. All of a sudden my leg will get warm and I realize it's because the phone in my pocket is extremely hot... Probably not safe. When I look it says that the screen was draining 46% of my battery life yet the screen is set to auto as recommended in other posts I have seen from customer service. We need a fix for this KitKat or a way to revert to Jellybean... I can't keep my phone charging constantly and I need it as I am a social worker and am in the field often. I need my phone for safety purposes as well as convenience. Sigh... Verizon Wireless Customer Support HELP! I can't CONSTANTLY charge my phone in order to be able to use it! So annoying!
Sarah
P.S. None of this was an issue prior to KitKat being downloaded to the phone.

After installing the update, did you perform a Factory Data Reset on your phone?
You might want to consider backing up your important photos, music, videos, other downloaded content. Write down critical things like your email settings. Jot down important contacts, and any calendar events. Diagram where you've located certain icons.
Then perform the FDR.
Allow three charge cycles for the phone to model battery consumption.
Other things you can do, YMMV:
Go to Settings | Tethering and networks | Mobile Networks | System Select | Network Mode | LTE/CDMA (change it from Global).
Instead of screen brightness automatic, choose something like 40-50%.
For email synching / polling, choose a polling interval of 15 or 30minutes (maybe not as often).
Go to Settings | WiFi then press the Menu button. Choose Advanced. Make sure "Battery saving for Wi-Fi" is enabled. Deselect Scanning always available, and Deselect Wif-Fi signal weak.
Now do the following: Go to Settings | Mobile Data. Press the Menu Button. Select Show Wi-Fi usage.
Power cycle your phone.
Now you can go to Settings | Mobile Data and choose Mobile or Wi-Fi tabs and see what applications are using the corresponding radios. That and using the Settings | Battery | Select the battery, then scroll down... The three of these should show you want is consuming the battery and the radios... thus heating up your device and lowering your battery runtime.
Good luck.

Hello I want to say that apple iphone 5 even has problems with battery consumption. Charge my phone in the morning and sometimes I do not get to the full day. If they could fix this problem I would appreciate. I hope answers.

Hello!
I recently just downloaded the 'Waze' app as a backup for my Garmin. I've read a few reviews that seem to rant and rave about how good the GPS app is. It is community driven and maps are constantly being updated by users. Plus it has a few other fun stuff in it (something similar to Gasbuddy where you can owe prices on the map). But like the person above me said, there is lots of useful free GPS apps in the App Store.
Oh and I may be wrong but I remember reading an article about Google being slower about updating its maps system--ie no turn by turn voice, which many people have had complaints about.
Happy Searching!
Ps - if you switch I wouldn't go to Blackberry.

IPhone 6 battery life draining since 8.1 update

Is anyone else having problems with their iPhone 6 battery life diminishing since the latest 8.1 update? I notice I'm getting much less usage time per hour. For example, before 8.1, it would take about 3 hours of usage time to get to 70%. Now it only takes 2 and it gets worse after that. Here is a screenshot I took of the battery usage before the 8.1 update:
This is pretty normal usage timings for me (it was taken Monday, October 20th). Now, here is a screenshot from today, after starting out with 100% this morning:
As you can see, it's quite a huge difference. The weird thing is that messaging seems to take up more battery life than it used to. Yes, I do text quite a bit during the day but the frequency of this has not changed between now and October 20th. It shouldn't be using THAT much battery life. I took it to the Genius Bar yesterday to ask them about this problem and the girl told me that she saw some crashing from the Messages app in Diagnostics Information and she felt that maybe since the update, there was something causing that app to use more battery. So she suggested erasing the phone and restoring from an iCloud backup. I did this yesterday when I got home but, as you can see, the problem is no better (though there are no more crashes listed in the diagnostics information).
I have no idea what else I can do to fix this and I'm getting really tired of having to charge this twice a day now (I used to have to do this with my iPhone 5, as well). If anyone has had a similar problem, I would appreciate suggestions. And before you ask, I'm doing all of the normal battery saving tricks, like turning off background app refresh, not having it check for mail all the time (it's manual), brightness is down, I turn wifi off when not using it, I don't leave apps open, etc etc etc.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
Pooja

I turn off background refresh, mail push/fetch, and I turn off wifi and bluetooth if I'm not using them. I also minimize which apps use location services. Even when doing all of that though, the battery life became terrible on 8.1. Since updating to 8.1.1 all issues seem to have been fixed so I'm very grateful for that. I recommend anyone on 8.1 who is having issues to upgrade to 8.1.1 immediately.

MS homeserver 2011 connector error in Win 8.1 Update 1

Had dificulty in installing win 8.1 Update 1, which required the OS rebuild. The Win Homerserver 2011 connect program fails to install. Error message includes “…either another software installation is in progress, or, the computer has a restart pending.” I have been checking all possible Microsoft solutions without finding any that worked.
I have just searched the registry for RebootRequired and found the following location: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Lenovo Settings Installer Manager, which has a RebootRequired listed. The system has been rebooted a large number of times.
RebootRequired        REG_DWORD        0x00000000 (0)
There is a sub-key \Common that has the following
SystemRebooted        REG_DWORD        0x00000000 (1)
This T440s is the only Lenovo system (out of 4) that has these keys. Is this the source of my problem and can I safely remove them from the registry? Thanks

Since Win 8.1 update Satellite C855-2HW shuts off

Greetings,
Well, June 2013 I bought my Satellite C855-2HW with Windows 8 as operating system.
The notebook worked smooth until in December 2013 I got Windows 8.1 updates.
Since then every day (sometimes several times a day) the notebook shuts off, the Automatic Recovery feature of Windows is initiated and the message 'Windows couldn't be started as it should, a system recovery is necessary.' pops up.
I've got this problem now for four weeks now and every time I have to install some software since the system is set to a previous recovery point.
I hope someone can help me get rid of this problem.
My sincere thanks in advance.
Stefan

Hi
It would be interesting to know how you installed / upgraded to Win 8.1 system.
Did you follow the Toshiba step by step instruction in order to update the Win 8.1 properly?
I mean this instruction:
http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-upgrade-stepbystep/
I did it with my Toshiba notebook and I must say: no problems until now
Additionally you should not forget to install/update the Win 8.1 drivers provided by Toshiba
On Toshiba EU driver page (Win 8.1 update) you will find the installation instruction for Win 8.1 drivers. It shows you the drivers and tools which need to be removed, updated or installed again.
Im sure the notebook would run properly in case the Win 8.1 update would be done properly.

Win 8 Monthly Update - T430S WAN Miniport Problem

The May 2013 monthly update for Windows 8 leaves a Device Manager error, as well as an error message in Lenovo Solution Center. Four T430S machines receive push updates published by Microsoft every 2nd Tuesday of the month. After this month's push updates, all machines have the same WAN Miniport error in Device Manager.
2 machines were restored to before the May 2013 push updates, and the error went away. Unfortunately, out of the 13 or so updates, the one that appears to be causing the problem is a major update to the OS. However, the push updates do not cause any errors with T61Ps.
Unforutunately, the WAN Miniport cannot be uninstalled. It is part of the network stack. So far, the only way to avoid the problem is to disable Win 8 push updates on T430S machines.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The T430S machines have Intel Ultimate-N 6300 AGN WLAN cards with 3 antennas.
A few months back, there were intermittitent issues with WLAN connectivity. Oddly, the signal strength was strong, but with intermittent internet access. After r&r (removing and replacing) with a new WLAN card from Lenovo, it did not fix the intermittent WLAN connectivity issues.
The WLAN connectivity issues were isolated to weak wireless N internet access performance from the Intel wireless AGN driver. Changing the wireless N channels at the router improved performance marginally (BTW, N channels have different power requirements that affect performance.) However, internet access was still intermittent.
Wireless N WLAN performance dramatically improved when the router was physically 10-15 feet away at most. Since this was not practical, the best work around was to disconnect the machine from the wireless N network and setup a wireless G network at the router. Since then, the range has been excellent with no intermittent connectivity issues.
So far, machines with KB2836988 have not affected wireless G connectivity and performance. Apparently, if you unhide the devices in Device Manager, KB2836988 created a second WAN Miniport for Network Monitoring #2. The second WAN Miniport is the device with the error. From my earlier post, the only was to get rid of the error is to do a system restore to a point before the May 2013 push updates and manually hide KB2836988.
I plan on doing a system restore on another T430S machine to get rid of the error. This time I am going to try and hide all of the other updates except for KB2836988. I am hoping by isolating the KB2836988 as the first push update, I can get rid of the WAN Miniport error. If all goes well, the other updates will be installed afterwards.

Satellite P845T-107 with Win 8 PRO but after Win 8.1 update it isn't PRO

Yesterday at Saturn Salzburg bought the notebook.
It has on the bottom a PRO Windows 8 label.
Unfortunately, I first initiated the update to 8.1 and then only a backup created on a USB stick.
Windows has muddled up the the Pro version after Win 8.1 update.
Can not join domain, as I expect from a PRO version actually.
How do I get the original Pro version again?
The label does so, that there must have been a Pro license.
How do I get the licenses number?
I'm A bit sour ... how Toshiba is helping me?

Hi
Regarding to the Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page, the notebook was preinstalled with Windows 8 64bit.
[Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page|http://www.toshiba.de/discontinued-products/satellite-p845t-107/]
It was not Pro version.

Battery consumption in power supply operation

Hello there.
i have a Problem with my MacBook Pro 15 i5 using Windows 7 with Bootcamp:
If i start my Mac with Windows 7 ( Power Supply and FULL Battery ) and start play a game ( for 2 or 3 hours ) the Battery is almost empty (Windows Info: "Power Supply Operation - Battery charing - 15% left") after quitting this game. So my Macbook has a Battery consumption during power supply operation. Why my Macbook is using the Battery instead of Power Supply ?
If i use Mac OS i dont have this problem. Just with Windows 7.
Why the Battery is almost empty after playing a game although i used Power Supply ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks

no ideas ? i really need help !

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse battery consumption

I have a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and have had it for 3 months (Christmas present). Last week, I noticed one bar had disappeared in the mouse battery life window in System Prefs - "wow" I thought "only lost 20% charge in just under 3 months".
However, yesterday, I got a "Low Battery" warning and noticed that only two bars were remaining. A couple of hours later I got a "Critical battery level" warning and only one bar remaining.
I don't use my mouse all that much - probably at most 6 hours per day (in short-ish intervals, turning it off in between) and I can't remember accidentally leaving it on. I'm using it with the two original AA batteries it shipped with.
Is this normal battery consumption? I find it strange that from "Low battery" to "critical battery" would be a couple of hours and that it would suddenly lose almost 50% of its charge in a week.
Do these mice eat AA batteries? Is it a good idea to get some rechargeables to use instead?
Cheers for the help

Hello thomasp:
In answer to your question, the battery life of a wireless mouse is mostly dependent on usage. When not in use, the wireless devices go to a very low power mode. IMHO, it is a waste of time to turn mice/KBs off. I would postulate that your experience is about normal.
I use rechargeable batteries (2500 mAh) in all my wireless devices. They do not last quite as long as the Lithium batteries - they have a lower voltage. However, I use an Energizer recharger that recharges batteries in 15 minutes - very little waiting time. In addition to being less expensive in the long run, rechargeable batteries are environmentally friendly! I bought a bunch of them on eBay. By the by, the rechargeables lose some charge every day - even if they are not in use.

Auto-brightness Won't Turn off after Win 8.1 update

I have a Y510P, and I got the Win 8.1 update about a month ago. Since then, my screen auto-dims whenever the average color of the screen is darker than plain white. So every time I am on a website that has a picture (like Facebook), as soon as I scroll to it, my entire screen dims. Also, I cannot watch videos without my laptop being plugged in because the screen is too dark to watch it on.
When my laptop is plugged in, I have no issues. Also, even after the brightness is decreased, it tells me that my brightness is turned up all the way.
I went into the advanced settings in control panel and have auto-brightness disabled, but it isn't helping. I tried accessing the NDIVIA settings to see if it's in there, but all I can access are simple controls, none of which affect brightness.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

this happened to me aswell please help
