Battery Drops When Using Plugged In

Hello,
I charge my phone each night by connecting it to the computer and by the next day, as expected, the battery is at 100%
However, if I use the phone without ever unplugging it, the phone will drop to 98-97% The battery icon indicates it's still plugged in with the plug symbol displayed inside the battery icon.
I do have apps running in the background because I don't care to shut them all off before I go to bed each night.
Any information on this, or others finding the same thing? Perhaps the 5.0.1 update will address this.

That is a good thing to do. It will extend the life of your battery. Run the battery down to 40% and store it someplace cool. Every month or so be sure and use the battery and charge it and drain it to 40% before storing it again.
I put the power option to performance when plugged into the external power pack. It is your own option as to which power option you use.
Best regards,
erico

    Try a resetting of your phone just to cover that base - Hold down Home and Sleep buttons for at least 10 seconds and see if the phone powers up.
    If the phone was completely dead, powering through wall socket is best approach.   I've never been able to charge off of a PC if it was completely dead.
    If all fails, bring the phone in for service since it is still covered by warranty.  

  • Connections drop when using Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client

    Folks I have a strange issues. I have a few laptops that I'm testing using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Network Access Manager. We like the interface and overall are happy, but have one nagging issue. Periodically the connection drops when using the client, and the only way to reconnect is to choose the Network repair option on the client. That fixes it just fine, but we shouldn't have to do this. The same clients using the built in WIndows supplicant do not have this problem. We are on version 3.0.07059.

    Right now I'm testing on a single access point (autonomous) with WEP! The same laptop works fine without the Cisco client. Usually it is several hours, 12 or more when it happens, but I've seen it less than that. And I've seen it up for over a day and a half. At this point I just don't trust the client to roll out to a larger audience.

  • Avoiding battery overheating when using MBP in the sun

    Are there any ways to keep a MBP battery cool when using it outside in the sun? Or should I just not worry about it?
    Today I was sat on my balcony enjoying the Mediterranean sun using my 2014 MBP when Coconut Battery popped up with a notification warning me that my battery was beginning to overheat and that damage could result. It was reporting a temperature of 35.5 C.
    So I opened up Macs Fan Control and switched from monitoring the CPU temperature to monitoring the battery temperature. However I get wildly different readings from the 3 battery sensors that MFC monitors compared with Coconut - sometimes the former shows more than the latter, other times the opposite. The hottest either of them registered was 38 C. I tried cooling it by setting MFC to max the fans out when the battery sensor read over 35 C but I'm not sure it made much difference - and having looked at MBP teardowns I know the battery is nowhere near the CPU fan.
    I'll be wanting to use my MBP outside more as we move into the heat of summer but I want to avoid battery damage. There's loads of stuff online about MBP CPUs getting hot - something which I think is a silly non-issue - but batteries are definitely more vulnerable to heat than silicon. Any tips anyone?

    Thanks, I'm familiar with Battery University. I read a lot of their stuff in some detail a while back when it was quite out of date - I see they've just updated that article so I need to reread it more thoroughly but the only metrics I can see about temperature on that particular page are about battery storage:
    "A battery dwelling above 30°C (86°F) is considered elevated temperature and for most Li-ion, a voltage above 4.10V/cell is deemed as high voltage. Exposing the battery to high temperature and dwelling in a full state-of-charge for an extended time can be more stressful than cycling."
    It doesn't seem to say anything about the a battery becoming damaged by occasionally heating itself to the mid-high 30s C for relatively short periods as a result of normal use in slightly warmer ambient temperatures.
    I've since had more Coconut battery warnings for similar temperatures while using the MBP indoors on my lap at room temperature, and others while the MBP was on a table charging and running some background tasks. As I write this sat in my bedroom the battery is reading 33 C - just 2 C away from the threshhold when the warnings start. This is all well within normal use and should be designed into the unit's normal operating temperatures so I'm not going to give much credence to Coconut Battery's warnings now I don't think.

  • My iPod was updating to iOS 6 and i shut it off during the update because it was taking too long and now my screen in baby blue i've tried to drain the battery but when i plugged it in to charge the blue screen came back on.I dont know what to do

    My iPod was updating to iOS 6 and i shut it off during the update because it was taking too long and now my screen in baby blue i've tried to drain the battery but when i plugged it in to charge the blue screen came back on.I dont know what to do

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Decreased Battery Performance when using SL. Apple states I am alone..

    This thread is mainly aimed at people that are using a mid 2009 unibody MacBook Pro 13" or upwards that came pre-installed with Leopard. Since upgrading to Snow leopard have you noticed a significant decrease in how long the battery lasts while using the machine in the same fashion?
    Am I alone? I first reported this issue to the Dutch customer service team back in October 2009 and since then have fought it all the way to make Apple admit that there is a problem with a minority of customers. To this day according to executive customer relations, I am the only person who has reported this issue to them. I find this hard to believe as there is a mass of information/threads/blogs etc on the internet with many people complaining about the same issue.
    The following is an email I sent to the [email protected] email as a last resort.
    Dear Steve,
    I am writing to you as a last resort hoping that my complaint will be dealt with professionally as I have actually given up all hope with the Apple customer service. I do not expect that you will personally read this letter but I just trust that someone will care and pass this to someone that will treat my complaint seriously as I really am losing all faith with Apple.
    I purchased a brand new Macbook Pro 13" mid 2009 model at the end of June 2009. Around 3 weeks after I purchased the machine I received a message from Apple stating that I was eligible for a copy of Snow Leopard as it was compatible with my machine and because I had just purchased a new Mac. I upgraded the Mac to Snow Leopard without any issues. It wasn't until a few weeks later that I noticed a massive reduction in battery performance. When I ran the machine on Leopard I would easily get the advertised 7 hour battery life while doing basic web browsing with all the battery settings set to the Mac default recommended settings. On Snow Leopard I would not get anything more than 4 hours completing the same tasks.
    I contacted Apple about this and was provided with the following reference number XXXXXXXXX I was basically told that I should monitor what I was doing etc and try using the screen on the lowest setting to see if this would improve the performance, it did not. I am a busy man and work in graphic design so unfortunately I put up with the battery issue until my Hard Drive decided to die in April. I contacted Apple again about this and was again provided with a reference number XXXXXXXXXX this time I was asked to do various steps to help fix the machine which did not work. Eventually I had the machine booked in for repair. When the machine was booked in for repair I also stated that I would like the battery issue addressed once and for all as I still only get around 4 hours charge. I was told this would be looked into. After 2 weeks of having no machine (and losing out on work) I received my Mac back with a new Hard drive installed as the old one was corrupted. I asked the Apple employee if my battery had been addressed and it had not. I refused to except my machine back as the battery issue was not resolved. After another 2 weeks of not having my Mac (more loss of work on my account) I received it back this time a new battery and motherboard had been installed.
    I returned to my office and reinstalled Snow Leopard, my Adobe Master Collection and charged to 100% I then tested the machine on battery. Again I received no more than 4 hours using BELOW recommended Mac battery settings. I contacted Apple again by telephone (another 0900 number call at my expense) and was messed around left right and centre. The employee on the telephone did not know what to do so transferred me to one of the Mac level 2 agents. I have never been spoken to so rudely and was even told that the only way I could expect 7 hours battery life from a MacBook Pro 2009 model is to use it with the lid closed. Ridiculous hey? I was also even told by one of the previous customer service agents that I could try using the machine with the battery disconnected. Even more ridiculous considering it is a unibody model.
    At this point I started doing research on the issue and found that I was far from alone with the battery issue. I have found numerous people suffering from the same issue. Below are a few links containing the same issue.

    At this point I decided to try something different, something that was not recommended or mentioned by any Apple employee, sales or technical. I decided to reformat the HD and install Leopard back on the on the machine. I then completed a battery test and low and behold my 7 hours of battery life were fully back. I think this can safely say that the issue is clearly with the OSX and not the hardware.
    I then contacted Apple customer service by phone (more 0900 numbers at my expense) I spoke to a senior Applecare advisor called XXXXX XXXXXXXX and explained my issue in full. I told xxxxxxx that I wanted this matter looking into and that I wanted a machine that would give me what is advertised using Snow Leopard, as know where on the Apple site or in the Snow Leopard documentation does it state ' Expect to lose 3 hours '
    I provided xxxxxxxx with a system info file and he sent it the Apple engineering team. A week went by and I received an email from him with the report from engineering. Engineering basically blamed it ALL on 3rd party applications, they even blamed it on the weather widget stating that it is constantly updating and will drain power. My remote access software was also blamed which was not even running in the background.
    1: The weather widget updates when you select it not constantly.
    2: The weather widget is by DEFAULT installed on a machine so thus would be classed as an Apple product in my opinion.
    That evening I decided to reformat my HD and reinstall Snow Leopard. This time I installed ONLY Apple software updates and nothing else. I then tested the battery again (getting very boring now) using the same settings as previous tests. This time I managed to have 4 hrs and 15 mins. Just 15 minutes more than what I had previously had. I then contacted xxxxxxx again and provided him with another system information file from the clean install. I explained that I had tested this with just the airport on and basic web browsing on various sites (my exact words) Another week went by and I received a call from xxxxxxx with his report from engineering. He said that Engineering wanted to know if I had tested this with basic web browsing or sat on Youtube or other flash based video streaming sites for 4 hours as this could reduce the battery life.
    As you could imagine I was furious. I repeated myself to xxxxxxx about my tests and was told that he would go back to engineering. I received another call from xxxxxxx stating that engineering are looking into it. I asked how long it would take for an answer on this and we agreed on a 2 week time frame. It is now over 2 weeks and I have sent 2 emails to xxxxxx and still have not received a reply.
    This issue has been going on since October 2009 when I first reported it. We are now in July 2010 and I am still suffering with this, as you can imaging this is unacceptable and not what one would expect from a company like Apple. My complaints summarized are below, I believe the obvious speak for themselves.
    1: There is no disclaimer on the Apple site stating that Snow Leopard will decrease the performance of a battery on a machine that did not come preinstalled with Snow Leopard. Neither is this information provided on the installation PDF instructions that come with the Snow Leopard disc.
    2: If there were such a disclaimer on the Apple site then why would I have my battery and motherboard replaced by the Apple repair team when there was clearly nothing wrong with them in the first place. Why was I never told this by any agent on the phone or in the Mac store? The answer seems clearly that this information is not available to the public or to Apple staff which is a big waste or my time as well as theirs.
    3: I have missed out on work because of having my Mac in for repair for a total of 4 weeks. As mentioned above there was clearly no need to have had the battery or motherboard replaced.
    4: I have spent money calling the 0900 numbers on numerous occasions simply getting passed around from Apple employee to Apple employee and still have no answer to my problem.
    5: I have wasted so much of my own time clean erasing my hard drive including zero out of sectors and reinstalling operating systems, not to mention other software and Apple updates. All of this comes to many hours of total wasted time at my expense when I could have been working.
    Where we stand now is that I am on the verge of taking legal proceedings with the Dutch Consumentenbond as this machine is not suitable to run with the Snow Leopard OSX when Apple advertise that it is.
    I expect either a full refund of my MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 or an exchange for a Macbook Pro 13" that comes with Snow Leopard preinstalled with the disc in the box. I also expect to be compensated for my loss of time, money I have spent on the phone to Apple and the loss of work while the machine was in for unnecessary repair.
    I am really at the end of my patience with this issue and feel that I have been much more than fair with my reports, honesty and patience.
    I trust to hear from somebody soon regarding this issue so that we can finally put it to a close once and for all in a professional manor.
    Regards
    I received a phone call within 14 hours of sending the email from executive customer relations. They came back with new information from engineering but did not think it was acceptable as engineering were now blaming my battery decrease on the assumption that my apartment might be too hot this causing the CPU to run at a higher temperature making the battery decrease quicker. We both agreed that it was an unacceptable answer.
    The day after I received another call from them stating that engineering had now finished tests and came to the conclusion that when testing on Leopard and Snow Leopard on the MacBook Pro 2009 there was no difference in battery run time whats so ever. I found this hard to believe so asked exactly how the test was conducted. Was it conducted in the same fashion that I had spent the last 9 months talking about. ' Using below default energy saving settings with only airport on while completing basic web browsing '???
    They confirmed this was not the case, engineering had basically turned the machines on, turned the screen right down to 1 bar and left them on screen saver over night. As you can imaging I was speechless (for a few seconds)
    Apple seem consistent on NOT admitting that there is an issue with battery performance for a minority of customers. As is stands now engineering in Europe have now passed the case over to engineering in the US for further ' in-depth ' tests.
    I know there are people out there that are suffering the same issues as myself and I welcome you to please contact me with your experiences. As the more of us that complain about this make it harder for Apple to deny this and brush it under the carpet.

    Please, nobody's going to waste their time reading all that! I don't know what you possibly could have said about this issue that took up so much space, but if you can't express it more concisely, it's probably not worth reading.
    I have used SL on both a unibody MBP and an older MBP. On the older MBP, when I upgraded from Leopard to SL, I got a noticeable increase in battery life immediately. I have no such comparison on the unibody MBP, since it had SL installed to begin with, but I'll put it this way: I haven't come close to running out of power on it. I used it once for about 4 hours and still had more than a 1/3 charge. I could have easily used it for another couple hours, at least. And this was with a 17" MBP, which uses more power than your 13", and without much in the way of battery-saving going on. (Screen at full brightness, AirPort on and in use, Bluetooth on, etc.)
    It's difficult to say that SL is the problem when it clearly isn't for everyone. What your problem is, I don't know, but maybe if you posted a more concise question you'd get some answers.
    I think ..
    This thread is mainly aimed at people that are using a mid 2009 unibody MacBook Pro 13" or upwards that came pre-installed with Leopard.....
    at the beginning of the thread I made it pretty clear, if you are not affected by this then I'm happy for you, but then the thread is clearly not aimed at you. I can guarantee that I have tested this exactly the same way I did with Leopard and there is a significant decrease. I also know there are people out there that have gained battery life but there have also been many threads containing people who have lost battery life.

  • Airtunes drops when using Windows XP, but not Mac

    We're currently using the AirPort Express as our wireless router, and everything works great from a connection standpoint. No problems with our MacPro or XP laptop.
    However, when using XP to play AirTunes, the audio constantly drops out (itunes will pause, and then come back within a few seconds, green light on the APX stays lit). We've tried closing all other programs & processes, and even uploaded the 6.3 firmware for Windows, but still get the drop-outs. Never once had a problem with the Mac, even after the firmware change.
    Also tried using a Linksys wireless router as our hub and connecting the APX to the network. same issues.
    I haven't been able to find anything on the site about this, anybody else having this problem?
    MacPro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Toshiba Laptop w/ Windows XP

    I'm experiencing something similar.
    I have a TECOM wireless router with a a single win XP PC connected and two airport express stations for playing music remotely.
    Green light still on, but iTunes frequently loses sight of the remote speakers after some period of time.
    The solution thats often works is to disconnect and reconnect XP to the wifi network. But I'm not really happy with this (boring) method.
    If anyone knew a setting that could help...

  • Logic Pro 9.1.8 + Mountain Lion 10.8.2 - Frequently crashes when using plug-ins

    I'm really hoping someone can help. I suspect this problem is new since I can't find a definitive answer.
    When using the third party plug-in Superior Drummer 2, Logic Pro 9.1.8 frequently crashes giving problem report 'Logic Pro quit unexpectedly while using the Superior Drummer plug-in' followed by details.
    This also happens when using Arturia Analog Laboratory. Similar problems have been reported by others using third party plug-ins.
    Some have suggested removing the folder /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ProKit.framework and then installing ProKit Update 7. I've tried this without success. Once removed, attempting to install it only launches the alert 'a newer version of this software is already installed', which it patently isn't. Removing it also prevents Logic Pro from launching and requires the reinstallation of Mountain Lion.
    Others say it's a problem with Mountain Lion and even Lion. Apparently, the above fix works with Snow Leopard but unfortunately, since I downloaded Snow Leopard from the app store, I can't revert back because it's no longer available.
    I don't know whether the problem is with the plug-ins, Logic Pro, or the operating system but I do know that this is not uncommon. I haven't yet found anything to implicate the plug-ins. All have been updated to their latest versions. I can not verify whether the plug-ins worked in previous incarnations, with a previous operating system or Logic Pro since I've only ever used them with Mountain Lion on a MacBook Pro Retina 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
    The current cacophony of forum discussion is roughly sounding out Mountain Lion as being the issue.
    I'm in the dark here! HELP!!!

    The issue, according to other AAL users, is Arturia's drivers I am afraid to say.. The v1.5.2 ones work for some people but not others and they are waiting on a further update from Arturia to fix the issue. It isn't something that reinstalling ML or the Prokit for that matter..  fixes... unless you have some other issue with other plugins and software?

  • TERMINFO environment dropped when using sudo -E or sudioedit

    Hey guys,
    I use the termite terminal which uses the termcap file 'xterm-termite'. Since this is non-standard I have to copy over the termcap file to remote machines I commonly work on. I put this file in `$HOME/.local/share/terminfo/x/xterm-termite` and set my $TERMINFO environment variable to `$HOME/.local/share/terminfo`.
    When I use sudo -E or sudoedit it looks like the TERMINFO environment variable is getting lost. So vim won't display things properly (no colors) and other silly problems (LESS 'Warning terminal is not fully functional").
    Why does the TERMINFO get dropped when my other environment variables stick around?
    Edit: Looking at the TROUBLESHOOTING document, I see that TERMINFO is removed "to guard against shared library spoofing, shell voodoo, and kerberos server spoofing."
    What are my options? I would really rather not copy my termcap file into /usr/share/terminfo since I might not always have root access on my remote machines.
    Edit 2: I feel a little silly. I just said I may not have root access. But if I'm using sudo it's almost guaranteed for root access! I'll leave this thread open for other solutions though.

    Per chance are each of your IP phones wireless portable phones? Do they happen to operate in the 2.4 GHz band? If so, this would be the reason for the drop-offs. Also, I'm not sure why, if true, this would not affect your Mac ... unless it is connected by Ethernet.

  • Resolution drops when using type effect over image

    Using a type effect over an image causes the resolution to drop below acceptable levels (211 dpi). The client has used a glow effect around text to knock back the image for better legibility. The image is 300 dpi, the text box is transparent with an outer glow effect. I matched the effect with a drop shadow using white but the problem still happens. I've increased the resolution of the image to 600 dpi, same problem. My transparency flattener presets: Raster / Vector Balance 100, Line art and text resolution 2400ppi, Gradient and mesh resolution 400ppi. Downsampling for PDF export is off. Printing postscript doesn't solve the problem. I've solved the issue by recreating the effect in Photoshop and turning the effect in InDesign off. This is in CS6, but I've opened the file in CC 2014 and have the same problem. Anyone have a solution?
    Thanks!

    The problem is within the digital file that's exported or postscripted to our PDF workflow. Preflighting in InDesign indicates no problems but the exported PDF in Acrobat shows the problem. Prinergy and Printready both fail the refine as our lowest acceptable limit is 280dpi. The PDF looks fine, the problem will be when the (offshore) printer preflights the PDF and sees the resolution problem. The issue is with the InDesign effect reducing the resolution - only in the area under the text box. All the images, text etc are CMYK. If I turn off the effect the PDF is all good.

  • E72- Battery Drain When using Exchange

    When using the Exchange application my battery appears to loose power quickly. At first I had Exchange to be active all the time. I changed it to connect now every four hours but even this setting appears to reduce battery time dramatically. Are there any settings that allow Exchange to connect, download email and disconnect? 
    How are users here handing this to allow use but maintain battery time?

    I do have a battery problem.  I had an e71.  I had push email configured for 5 email accounts.  Mail for exchange, yahoo mail and 3 hotmail accounts.  The battery never lasted less than 2 full days.  With the e72 I get about 4 hours.  It is so frustrating....I called Nokia customer support...their answer was to send it back to be fixed.  I purchased from Amazon, so I asked Amazon for a replacement, it arrived the next day (great service)... but the same battery life problem.  It is clearly software or firmware not a phone defect. 
    Any ideas.
    Thank you

  • Random drop in battery charge while using plugged-in computer

    Hey everyone,
    I bought my Macbook Pro a couple weeks ago and have generally used it while it is plugged in. Recently I've noticed that while I am using it, the battery charge will suddenly drop from 100% to around 50-60% and the MagSafe adapter will change from green to amber and begin charging the battery until it reaches 100% again. I calibrated the battery the day that I got it and I have never had a problem like this until now. CoconutBattery even says that my battery capacity is more than 100% of what it should be. Please let me know if this is something I should worry about!

    I just noticed it happening again.
    very strange.
    AC Adapter connected and green
    icon in menu bar shows AC is connected, not charging.
    system profiler shows -1900 to -2500 mA
    system profiler shows Fully Charged: No
    system profiler shows Charging: No
    I am starting to suspect it's related to the ipad being connected, as that takes a good chunk of power to charge.
    I wonder if what's happening is that that with everything powered up on the macbook (External display, external Firewire hard drive, USB keyboard, Screen lit up, iPad connected) if it's somehow exceeding the capacity of the magsafe 85W power supply.
    to test this out,
    I've disconnected the ipad, firewire hard drive, and second display,
    done a SMB and PRAM reset
    and am charging the battery now.
    after that I'll do a calibrate and try to avoid connecting things for the next few days to see what happens.

  • I have a gen3 iPod touch.  It shows the battery charging when I plug into my PC, but will not show as an extra drive in "my computer" and won't show up in iTunes either.  Can anyone help please?  I have exhausted all "help" options.

    I am trying to get my iPod touch (3rd gen), to show up in "My Computer" and in iTunes.  I am using a usb cable and it is connecting okay, because the battery is charging.  It won't show up as an external drive on my computer, and nothing in iTunes either.  I have used the exact same usb cable and plugged into the exact same usb port with a different iPod touch without having this problem.  I have swapped them back and forth and it seems to be a problem with this particular iPod, because the other shows up just fine.  I have already downloaded and installed the latest iTunes update, and I already restarted the computer afterwards.  The other iPod is a 4th gen touch, but that really shouldn't matter.  I would greatly appreciate anyone's help on this matter.  I know that I can't be the first person that this has happened to.  Thanks.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

  • Power Manager Setting To Preserve Battery Life When Using A Docking Station

    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 which is about 19 months old.  When at work, the computer is in a Lenovo docking station.  At the end of the day, it is removed and any further evening use is typically on the battery.
    Yesterday, the battery symbol in the tray at the bottom of the screen displayed a red X on it and indicated that there was an "error".  I presume from this that that battery is dead and needs to be replaced.  I am surprised by the comparatively short life of this battery.
    I was thinking that perhaps the use of the powered docking station played some role in shortening the battery's life.  For example, it may have repeatedly overcharged the battery.
    Is there a Power Manager setting that will reduce the likelihood that the battery is being overcharged while in the docking station?  In the future, is it feasible to simply remove the battery before inserting it into the docking station so that this won't continue to occur?
    Thank you.
    (I did a search of the community's knowledgebase, but didn't find anything on point.)

    Hi,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that battery of your Lenovo ThinkPad X220 had undergone wear and tear and has to be replaced.
    Capacity of a battery declines as the battery ages, with the number of charge cycles and time at high temperature. Under average usage patterns your battery maintains approximately 70% of its power capacity after the first year of operation.
    Most laptops today use lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries. Overcharging Li-ion batteries is not a problem and does not affect the battery life span. These batteries have an internal circuit to stop the charging process at full charge. This is why the Li-ion batteries are more expensive. The only way for the Li-ion battery to overcharge is if the charging system malfunctions, and then the battery will heat up while in the charger. Older laptops use Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. They require more maintenance than Lithium Ion batteries. They must be fully discharged and then fully recharged so that they don't lose battery life.
    Refer this document to see the tips on how to increase the battery life.
    Hope this provided enough clarity for your query!
    Best regards,
    Mithun.
