Battery Issue? Check this out.

Hi everyone. So, just by scanning the discussions here, there are numerous complaints about low battery life (whether it's software or hardware). Some people are getting outstanding life, and that's great, but for the rest of us, 5 hours of usage may not be enough.
In one of the other discussions, we've created an 8-hour audio test with certain criteria so that we can compare results and check for consistency. Because of the length of duration, I'd personally recommend running it overnight, and if you're interested in checking out the test, the link is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9852581#9852581
If you can, please post your test results to the end of that thread (or here if you'd like). Have a great day and enjoy your phones

I suppose I should have proof read before posting...oh well here's the update.
My 3G iPad has incredible battery life, here's what I've done today.
6:10am 100% battery life
6:10am - 7:05am Read email, surfed and DL'ed Dropbox and ABC (WiFi) 0.55h 94% battery left
7:05am - 9:10am Watched a movie "Shooter" 2:05h 71% battery left
9:20am - 11:26am Watched a movie "Star Trek" 2:06h 48% battery left
11:26am-11:45am Lunch (Pizza Bread, bottle-water and chips)
11:55pm - 12:15pm Read email, surfed (WiFi) 1:20h 42% battery left
12:15pm - 2:31pm Watched a movie "Sling Blade" 2:14h 19% battery left
Now writing this from my iPad....Wow, thats 7.5 hours usage and still have 19% battery life left.
Thats right I've had a free day today!!!
My goal is to run the battery completely down until it shuts off. Now it's time to watch last weeks "Lost" episode on the ABC (WiFi) app.....I'll write back later to let you know what's left on the battery.
Update:
2:35pm - 3:50pm Surfed (3G) and 11MB's 1:15h 10%
3:50pm - 4:33pm Watched "Lost" ABC app (WiFi) 0:46h 3% battery left
9 hours with 3% battery left, I think I could go another 30-45 minutes, but I'll spare you the details.
I'm happy to get 9+ hours on a single charge with the brightness at about 75-80%.

    After renaming my MAC hard drive, Acrobat, Illustrator and Bridge fail to launch. Acrobat returns the error message "An internal error occurred". I've checked this out and it seems related to user permissions. The version is Acrobat X. My machine has multiple user accounts. Any help would be appreciated. I renamed the drive to its original name but to no effect. RR

    I resolved the issue.
    The problem is indeed a permissions issue with the Adobe Application Support folder.
    First, in MAC OS Lion the ~/Library/ folder is hidden by default. You must unhide it in order to proceed. (if it is already visible in your ~/User/ folder, proceed to Step 4.)
    Next launch the Terminal application.
    At the command line, paste the following command line: chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    Go to /Users/youruserid/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Get info on the ~/Adobe folder and reset your permissions to read/write and apply to all enclosed folders
    Problem solved. RR

  • Hey guys check this out!!

    I though that Tiger was only able to run in apples pcs I guess not....this is crazy.
    Check this out http://os-emulation.net/pearpc/web/tiger.html I have never seen this before Have you guys?

    PearPC is a Mac emulator. It creates a virtual Mac on the Windows box, similar to (but the opposite of) Microsoft's Virtual PC for Mac.
    I'd guess it's slow and unreliable, but certainly possible.

    HTT x4 , i try`d les aggressive timings and lower HTT but 255 is the max with 3.3 vdimm, unless i get a booster they wont go further.... not worth it, might as well get a Gig of something that can match these speed ands timings.... Well thats what im hoping anyway.

  • 5.0.1 update - battery issue - check usage/standby stats

    There might be more than one problem but i did find mine and fix it.  Check your usage and standby in general settings and if they are the same, then you have the same problem I had (they should not be the same).  If they are the same, that means your phone is never going in standby mode.  I fixed the problem with a complete reload.  I did not choose to restore from backup because I wanted to be %100 sure it was a fresh load of the software, so I setup as a new iphone.
    Background: I upgraded from v4 to v5.0.1 a few days ago and started having battery issues.  I went to the apple store and they did some diag test on my phone/battery and said everything checks out good.  They said my options were to buy a new battery or drain my existing batter to zero, let it set for two hours, then recharge to %100 again and see if it fixes my problem (it did not). The person at the apple store ask me if that sounded like a good plan, I said no, not really (does not make much sense), Im not buying a new battery, especially since you said mine checks out good, but i will try the recharge and see what happens.  So, I was back to square one and then a friend told me about the usage/standy thing. Maybe this is a bug in the software when you do the upgrade (or at least for me) and v5.0.1 works fine from a fresh install.  My phone battery is working great now.  Looking at my usage stats now, I have 1 hour, 19 minutes usage and 3 hours, 17 minutes standby, and %90 battery.

    Glad that a Restore as New resolved your issue...

  • Can you trust System Profiler? Check this out.

    Looking at the system profiler i was concerned about my battery capacity so i installed Coconut battery to check it as well.
    Look at this screen grab and see if you can spot the problems.
    http://www.jonspeed.com/batt.jpg

    Well, beyond the discrepancy in battery parameters, I'm trying to figure out how you got version 2.3 of Coconut Battery? From what I can tell by visiting both the VersionTracker page and the developer's site (http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/index.html), Coconut Battery is currently at version 2.2.
    What's up with that?

  • Having Problems with InContext?.... check this out

    Hey guys... check it out.. Do your research & you'll quickly learn that i was the #1 proponent of InContext... period!!! I answered more questions for Adobe.. for FREE than anyone.... I'm a little upset to say the least.
    I'm  coming up with a script that will convert any existing InContext site to  a PageLime site with a click of a button.
    Based on the  overwhelming number of email from those of you interested, I thought I'd  write this up real quick.
    If you're not using it yet.. check out this  video. PAGELIME  CMS
    Their Video Demo tutorial pretty much sums  it up.
    In  the meanwhile, the easiest thing to do is a simple "Search  and Replace" from within Dreamweaver.
    Basically,  the simple PageLime interface only requires two things.
    A  unique ID
    Any Class name
    All it needs is an 'id" and a "class"....
    For  consistency, I give all mine the same class. It works even if you add  it as a secondary pseudo. Here's some examples of the code:
    <div  id="anything" class="cms-editable" />
    or if you  already have a class assigned, you could do something like      this
    <div id="sidebar" class="right cms-editable" />
    REQUIREMENTS:
    <div  id="REQUIRED" class="anything"  />
    how simple is that??? Duhhhhh!!!
    PageLime  just    figures out the rest. Pages can be php, asp, cfm... anything!!!  And the beauty is they are actively listening and updating the core  everyday... In the Pro    plan, new features just show up. They're  working on a full version shopping cart, integration with SiteGrinder3,  dynamic content... you name it, they're on it!!!
    If you have  specific questions, feel free to email me directly ANYTIME... Everyone  here will tell you I respond at all crazy times of day, if you have a  question, email me and I'm most likely up and on. No more waiting for  Adobe to get their lazy a$$'s around to answering questions.

  • Delete function--check this out

    hey I pretty much just started with Ipod and Itunes.
    The first time you delete a song from your Ipod or Itunes library it prompts you to let you know you are deleting something and make sure you're not accidentally you're deleting something you want. Underneath that theres a small checkbox and next to the box it says "Check this box to not recieve this message again," or something to that effect. Stupid me, I checked this box and now its really easy to delete files from my Ipod, if I accidentally hit backspace or delete it deletes the song forever. luckily i have most these files backed up. Still I would like to return to the default setting of having Itunes prompt me before I delete a file...is there any easy way of doing this?
    Thanks,

    This is an awesome little webpage i found through the discussions pages, well done Dan H!

    Hi,
    Well, there's no easy way to explain it. Here's a very
    general look at the functionality.
    1. They used onResize event:
    Stage.onResize event listener and used some additional
    functionality to determine size and load appropriate amount of
    pics.
    2. The speed slider was probably done with min and max amount
    of speed divided by the length of the speed slider. And based on
    the position of the slider it either adds or subtracts from the
    speed.
    3. The images are being resize dynamically in Flash and it
    probably is using a mask, so it doesn't show the full picture size.
    Upon having the images loaded into each dynamically generated
    moviclip, it's attaching a movieclip that has a button that's
    dynamically creating the link. I'm sure there's some type of
    algorithm that was created to show the variation in picture sizes.
    This is not an easy task. If you tackle each piece of
    functionality separately, you can tackle this project. Hope this
    helps a little.

  • IPhone 4 camera issue: check it out!

    I'm asking you, iPhone 4 users, if you can make a test of your camera.
    I am substantially pleased by the iPhone 4 camera but after some days of use, viewing the images at 100% crop (1:1), I discovered a defect on all the shots.
    At the far left side, next to border and top to bottom, the image is blurry, independently of the point of focus of the lens.
    I post five shots of mine (original, not edited) so you can check out and compare:

    Please let me know if this is happening to you too and is to be considered "normal" or if my iPhone camera lens got some problems and need to be swapped.
    Thank you

    I don't see anything, but I might be blind. If there's a bit of blurring on the edge, it's easy to crop.
    The reason it might be blurry is because of how the iPhone takes a photo. You might think it's an instant capture of the whole scene, but it actually quickly captures the image from left to right. You might be seeing a small amount of jiggling as the image is captured. A real camera, using a CMOS image detector is much faster. A good digital camera can go up to ISO 6400 with 1/1000 speed (OK, only in very bright light).
    This is why mobile phones (whether the iPhone or whatever) are just junk for taking real photos. You're trying to find perfection with a $20 part on the iPhone. If you want perfect photos, you need a $5000 Nikon D5 with $2000 lenses. But of course, a great camera is not the panacea for all photo issues or user incompetence.
    I think your photos are nice, considering you're using a very limited iPhone camera. Crop it, and it'll look really good. Otherwise, your expectations are way too high for the iPhone camera.

    please Make your opinions.
    Thanks   

    Yea, I agree with whats going on in this thread...at first I was having problems too with the same board (new to MSI and AMD) but did some research and raised the chipset memory a wee little bit (hardocp review had it at 1.75v to get to a 375fsb - wow).  I am glad to see you didn't make the mistake I made and went with better memory especially if you plan to oc.  I was on a tight budget at the time and am getting decent results now for the ram that I have at the price I got it at ($86).  The bios may have some issues with the ht multiplier but when I raised the chipset voltage, i got over this 219 hump and can post up to 225 with ht mult set at 5 (others told me not to go past 1000 htt while others said I should be able to go to 1100 htt - who knows).  Well, it all comes down to performance and at 222 with the ht mult set at 3, 4 or 5 doesn't change my 3d and pc marks much as you see below.  I think the sweet spot is anywhere between 600 and 900 htt setting.
    I was really eyeing the ram that you bought and would love to see some of your test results before I go out and buy the same ram...--  -- need sunglasses when I look left on your posts though...lol

  • Hello, please check this out..

    I have an iPhone 2G 8GB and my problems are:
    1. My iPhone is stuck on Connect to iTunes
    2. My iPhone's screen is GREEN
    3. When I tried to restore the software, my phone would turn off then cancels the software restoring.
    4. When I unplug my iPhone 2G it will suddenly shut off and pressing the Power button can't get my iPhone on.
    5. I get errors like 1611, 1600, 1603 after the software restore failed.
    These are the actual pictures:
    -I know that Error 1611 is hardware issue, should i replace my battery?
    -Should I use original apple sync cable?
    -What are the remedies?
    Please help, this is my one and only first iPhone. I live here in Philippines..

    No, not the way you have designed it.
    What you have is
    Son1 IS A Father
    Son2 IS A Father
    Are you sure that is what you want, while the Sons will most likely end up as Fathers, as you only want the Father constructor called once it sounds like you want a
    Son1 HAS A Father.
    To do this you need to user composite relation.
    I.e.
    class Father {
       Father() {
           System.out.println( "Daddy!" );
    class Son {
      private final Father myFather;
       Father( Father myFather ) {
           this.myFather = myFather;
           System.out.println( "Son" );
    public static void main( String[] args ) {
        Father baba = new Father();
        Son jerry = new Son( baba );
        Son fred = new Son( baba );
    }
