Battery Life... was it shortened by....

Ok, here's the story. My MacBook fans were running constantly for about two weeks until I finally figured out that there was a CPU process that was driving the processors crazy. As an FYI, the activity monitor is a great tool that I just read up on! WOW... it was a phony print job that was driving the processors crazy! I took advice from this forum and quit the culprit process.
I am worried that the battery life is going to be affected negatively from the fact that the fans and heat were wearing it out much faster than normal. Is there something to worry about?

Your probably OK. Were you running off the battery or using the power supply?

  • I have had my Iphone 4s for a little over a week now. It just DIED...Can some one please tell me why? the battery life was at 90% I sure do not want to lose all my picture's of my Grand-Daughter, or everything that I have purchased on it. Can someone help

      I have had my IPhone 4S for a little over a week now. My battery life was at 90% It Died, Dead, Does not work at all. Can someone tell me what in the heck is going on here. I have had all of the Apple Phones and They all had their little quirks..But This is ridiculous is it just with the Black 4S or the White 4S or both. Help?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:
    Backing up, Updating and Restoring

    If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Found the reason why my battery life was short

    As topic says, I found the reason why my battery life was short.
    Having had the Iphone 4 since launch, I've always been impressed by the battery life.
    So when it started to go from 100% to 50% overnight, with no use I started wondering what caused this.
    I my case it was the wireless network, before I used to have just one wireless router, but recently I bought a accesspoint using it as a signal repeater(booster), giving me 100 % wifi coverage at home.
    Since the repeater has the same wireless SSID as the router it seems to confuse the iphone, making it switch between connecting to the router and the accesspoint nonstop and therefore draining the battery.
    Disconnected the accesspoit and now things are back to normal.

    If you have just one wireless router you can't turn the accesspoint off, you could try turning wifi off on the phone and see if that helps.
    In my case the wifi range of the router and the accesspoint overlapped each other, making the iphone constantly switch between them.

  • I just downloaded more then 2000 photo's from my camera into iPhoto. Shortly after that my battery life was depleted and so I plugged the computer back into power and after I opened iPhoto later, I could not find those photos anymore

    I just downloaded more then 2000 photo's from my NIKON camera into iPhoto. Shortly after that my battery life was depleted and so I plugged the computer back into power and after I opened iPhoto later, I could not find those photos anymore!! Help where are they? How can I retrieve them or are they lost???
    Please help me!!!

    Do you see more photos, when you enable "Hidden Photos" in the "View" menu?
    And that was afetr I took the connection with the NIKON out of my laptop.
    Check, if you really imported into your iPhoto library - is the preference setting "Advanced > Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library" active?  If not, connect your Nikon again - do you now see more photos?
    If you imported into the iPhoto Library, check inside the package:
    Select your iPhoto library in the Finder, ctrl-click it, use the command "Show Package Contents".
    There will be a folder named "Masters" inside, with subfolders named by year - month - day. Look for the date you did the import and check, if the photos are inside.
    If yes, copy this folder to a folder on your desktop to save the photos.
    If not, search for a folder "Importing" inside the library. Is it there? Then copy these photos to a folder on the Desktop.
    If you found your photos, backup and rebuild your library.

  • Red light flashing twice indicates that battery life was below 20%

    By the way, I was using my Playbook down to 10% battery life.  I plugged it into the wall to charge it after shutting it down and it wouldn't come back up.  Your Playbook will die!!  Then you can reload the OS and start all over.  So, RIM doesn't feel the need to let you know that sometime between 20% and 10% you will be screwed. This is not only a product defect, it's also a ridiculous oversight in the user manual, or lack thereof, that is sent to you when you buy it.  At the very least, the screen pop-up ought to say, I'm gonna erase your book if you don't plug me in!!!!
    So aggravated, reloading everything now.  Be sure to plug in to your pc/mac and back-up now!  And watch those batteries and your behind.
    AGGRAVATION!!!!!!!
    P.S  why does it take so long for this thing to boot up?  i think my dinosaur PC is faster.

    The advice in the title of this thread is wrong, of course, and can safely be ignored.  I don't know what occurred in the specific situation described here, but I've repeatedly drained my PlayBook to the point where it shut itself off, at 0%, with no such negative outcome.
    That said, there do seem to be some issues with getting it back on sometimes when it's very low.  I've never had much issue myself, but I'm a patient sort.  If it doesn't turn on immediately, I assume some mysterious software problem is involved, wait a few minutes, and try again.  I also find that sometimes a brief press on the power button isn't recognized or responded to, and feel like I need to hold it down for a second before the thing notices and responds.  Maybe that's required in some cases, maybe not.  Lastly, I've read (but never seen this myself) that it may be necessary to recharge it for an hour or so after a complete discharge, before it will come on.  Not sure where people got that one, but possibly it is required.
    Sorry for your aggravation, but if you are willing to actually try to work through the issue here, whatever it is, you could probably get some good advice from others here.  This is a community forum, "staffed" pretty much solely by other RIM customers who are volunteering here to help people out, so please keep that in mind when venting.
    As for the boot up, in case you seriously wanted an answer: it's probably because the flash storage with the operating system image on it is being scanned and checked against a cryptographic signature, to ensure that it hasn't been tampered with.  If your dinosaur PC, which may well be faster, would do that, we'd have a lot fewer viruses and other security breaches in this world. 
    Most people only rarely cycle power on their tablet, and if you merely put it in standby (I realize that wasn't possible in this case... just talking in general terms here) you'll find it comes on effectively instantly, which is way better than your PC, or even a modern one, can do.

  • Blackberry Z10 battery life - was good now it drains in a few hours

    Good Day,
    We have had the BB Z10 (two phones) for over a month with no issues with battery life.  Last week one of the phones battery loses its charge in about 4 hours with next to no use (only several emails, no phone calls or browsing.)
    Both phones have the most recent software upgrade which was to extend battery life.
    The other phone will go for about 16 hours with moderate use on one charge.
    Can anyone pinpoint what to look at what would be casuing the battery usage?
    Thanks

    Check and see if your WiFi is on. I had (have) the same problem when I leave it on and go to work. The phone constantly searches for WiFi and the battery at a record pace. I turn it on only when I am at home or where I can access WiFi, other times I leave it off.
    I also hear the Ebay app is a huge drain.
    I also limited the home pages, I had over twelve that i think were constantly updating. I limited it to one.
    Maybe one or all of these will help.
    Regards.
    It's always funny when it's someone else.

  • I have had my iPhone 4s for a few months and the battery life was really good. Then around the same time I updated to ISO6 and I dropped it on the floor and since the battery life has been poor lasting only a few hours. Does anyone know why this is?

    I don't know why the battery life has just become so poor. I can listen to 1 song and lose 1/2% battery life. I had all the settings the same as before updating to ISO6 and now it just goes. I did drop it around the same time but I have a stong case so I don't see how this should effect it. If anyone knows how to fix it would be a great help because I used to love iPod but I am very dissapointed.

    Internal damage from fall or loose connector. Take it to
    Apple to be checked.

  • HT4528 iOS 6.1 is draining my iPhone 5 battery within 6 hours. My battery life was never that great with iOS 6.0 but I would get at least 12 hours.

    Is there a way to downgrade to iOS 6.0 or 5?

  • Sales assistant gave wrong info? battery life

    i've had my macbook for about 7 months. ive noticed in the past month or so, my battery life has gone from lasting approximately 4 hours (with wireless turned on) to less than 2 hours.
    the sales assistant told me the best way to preserve the long battery life was to only run it on the battery, and to only have it plugged in to charge it from 0%-100%. then, when it was back to 100%, to unplug it and run it on battery.
    ive been reading some information about "calibration" and "cycle counts", and im worried that the information given to me was NOT right. i checked my cycle counts, and it is at 186!
    i rely on my battery life for when im at uni in lecture halls with little access to an electric outlet, and 2 hours really wont cut it when i have classes 4 hrs long.
    was the information given to me incorrect? should my battery life be longer given ive only had the computer 7 months?? what should i do to rectify this?
    any advice is greatly appreciated, as im still a newbie!

    The sales assistant is completely wrong, if that's indeed what he/she said. You do not want to be constantly running any lithium-based battery down to zero on a regular basis. That will shorten it's life, not lengthen it. You do want to occasionally run it down to where the computer goes to sleep - not more than once per month or once every two months - to keep the charging circuitry calibrated, but other than that, charge the system whenever you can, and keep it plugged in when you don't need to run on battery. Clearly when you're in lecture you'll have to run on battery and may run the battery to zero, but don't do it deliberately.
    Batteries do at times prematurely fail, but whether that's the case with your system I can't say for sure. There are many factors that will affect how long a system will run on a single charge, including how much the hard drive or optical drive is used, how much time the system spends with the backlight on, whether you're using Airport and/or Bluetooth, and how hard the processor is working. So two hours might be normal for the system's use at that particular time.
    If you have an Apple Store nearby, make an appointment at the Genius Bar and take the system in and discuss the problem with them. If the Genius diagnoses a defective battery, they should replace it under warranty.
    Regards.

  • Mid-2013 Macbook Air Battery Life has become awful-Not Mavericks related

    I have a Mid-2013 Macbook Air that I bought in July. i5, 1.3 GHz, 8GB RAM, 500 GB SSD.  I honestly thought that my horrible battery life was due to the recent upgrade to Mavericks (many MBAir users are having problems with 10.9), so I downgraded to 10.8.5 this AM.  With my backlit keyboard off and the screen at a mid-level of brightness, I am barely getting 2hrs of battery life.  Before I go make an appointment with the Apple Genius, I was wondering whether anyone has any suggestions.  I saw other threads on this issue, but none of them seem to really help.  Below is the EtreCheck file (there seems to be a lot of Symantec traffic, but I am not sure that is the cause).  Also, I am also running  "hidden" so I wonder if the constant location services are draining the battery.  Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.  Many thanks.

    Yes,
    After Mavericks install, your "time remaining" WILL BE INACCURATE until you do a SMC reset in many case
    SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    There is a HUGE distinction here about someone getting less batt. life in actuality .......or are they just reading the "time remaining" and using that as a true indicator which is certainly is not.
    Ive seen 3 notebooks after SMC reset jump 4+ hours in "time remaining" and slowly climb after 3+ full charge cycles.
    Until things settle down, nobody should trust what the 'time remaining' says.

  • Iphone 4 battery life draining battery usage and standby has (-) sign

    I know there are forums with the same question, however, I need to know what to do if the restore as new doesn't work as well as trying to turn off the notifications. My battery life was fine until I up graded to iOS5.0.1.
    I've also done a hard reboot tried to run the battery down and recharge to 100%. Nothing seems to work. I'm getting a usage and battery standby time of ( - ), no figures at all.
    With only 2 short calls and a couple of minutes of internet usage my phone has gone from 100% at 7h this morning to 70% at 11h36. I've only noticed the battery drain over the last few days. The only changes were a couple of upgrades on the apps and even deleting those aren't working. I've also tried to delete my email accounts. I've reinstalled the email settings not with exchange but through gmail. My notifications are at a minimum and iCloud is switched off, the only thing that it is backing are my contacts.
    Help! I travel far to get to work and need a reliable phone. I'm not sure whether to hold out for a new update on the software or take it to the genius bar.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    This seems to mainly affect the 4S however if you search the forum (hardware  and  using iPhone ) you will find many solutions that have either solved or dramatically improved the situation
    My  4 did playup  with 5.0.1  up but picking a selection  of the solutions has returned mine to normal
    Location Services to name but one

  • Centro Battery Life

    After 3 Palm PDAs, I was excited to get a Palm Centro.  In the first 30 days it became obvious battery life was horrible.  Best Buy swapped first the battery, then the entire device.  After that they referred me to AT&T who swapped the phone and at least 4 batteries until the 1 year warranty ran out.  AT&T was very helpful during the first year warranty period, but I've still got 8 months on my contract, and my battery does good to last 6-8 hours.  Charging it for use first thing the next day isn't possible.  I make very few phone calls, literally 2-3 a week, so it's totally standby time I'm fighting with.  I don't use any data connections (no e-mail, no gps, no web).  I don't use texting or any third party software.  I turn bluetooth off except for once a month to sync with my Vista 64 computer.  AT&T has checked the settings and found nothing wrong.  I'm reluctant to spend $50 for a battery that will only last a month or two, I might as well buy an I-Phone for that price (except I don't want the required data connection).  I've even tried turning the radio transmitter off, charging it at 11 PM, and the next morning, it's still dead!  Just totally unacceptable, and before now, unlike Palm quality.  An e-mail from Palm today advertising the new palm pre plus just set me off.  Why would I upgrade with my experience with Palm's quality and response to a major issue.  I thought I was alone, I wish I'd read all the reviews before I bought my Centro, I would have continued using my old phone, and will probably have to go back to it if I every want to make an actual phone call.
    I would expect Palm to replace the battery for at least the first 2 years when it's obviously not a user issue!

    I'm in a great coverage area and battery life isn't any better if my radio transmitter is turned on or off.  Also brand new batteries seem to work fine for several weeks to a month or so, then start degrading.  I followed the manuals and AT&Ts recommendation to the letter on charging & recharging.  My wife's Centro is in the same location and has almost identical usage and works fine.  I've had lots of suggestions and "it might be's" and tried and eliminated them all, and still have a battery that won't hold a charge.

  • Possible work-around for v3.0 short battery life

    First: be aware there's a difference between "Push" (which is for some email account types & some MobileMe features) and "Push Notifications" (which is for apps). They are controlled in separate Settings screens.
    Short story:
    If you've upgraded to v3.0, usually have Wifi ON, and experiencing short battery life, and if you can live without Push Notifications (at least until Apple finds a better solution), TRY TURNING "Push Notifications" OFF.
    Alternatively, if you can live without Wifi but need Push Notifications, try turning Wifi off & let the data travel via 3G.
    Long story:
    First I ran alternate days with Wifi ON, then Wifi OFF, and noticed with Wifi OFF my battery life was nowhere near as short (I could get through a day), but with Wifi ON, I can barely get through half a day. This is very different to v2.21, and in my setup the only significant difference was Push Notifications being ON.
    Then today I've been running continuous pings from my Mac to my iPhone, with various combinations of Push on/off, Push Notifications on/off, email accounts on push / fetch / manual, and discovered there's a huge difference in how often Wifi gets turned on when Push Notifications is enabled.
    With Push Notifications ON, while your iPhone 3G (and probably 3GS) is asleep, Wifi will be turned on for 15-20seconds every 1 to 2 minutes!
    This is in stark contrast to Push Notifications OFF, but Push (for email, MobileMe, etc) ON, where Wifi is on only as often as your email account settings dictate.
    This explains a lot, I think. With Wifi OFF, data goes through the 2G/3G radio, which is inherently ON all the time (for phone functionality), so the incremental 'cost' (to battery life) of Push Notifications is comparatively small.
    But with Wifi enabled, data is instead sent via Wifi. The incremental cost (to battery life) is dramatically higher having to turn on the Wifi radio, find the WLAN, get an IP from DHCP, then exchange data with various Internet servers, when it happens every couple of minutes!
    Though I'm not really sure what Apple can do about this situation. They appear to be turning Wifi on frequently to give the illusion of true (ie timely) push notifications. I think this situation runs parallel to those who found, with v2.x, that enabling Push on email accounts & Wifi enabled had similar major negative impact on battery life. Except now heaps more people want the Push Notification feature. Interesting conundrum...

    The main thing that helped me with the short battery life was lowering the brightness. My 3G was so bright I could'nt sleep at night.

  • 8230 Battery life issue

    I bought an 8230 last week and (even though I have bee playing a round with it quite a bit) I find the battery life to be horrendous.  I have needed to recharge the phone every night.  I have not been using Bluetooth and it's not Wi-Fi enabled so this isn't on either.  I have it with me at work however do not have access to playing with it too much.  Today for example I did not play with the phone and by mid afternoon (around 3PM) it had 1 yellow bar left, I had charged it overnight and it was unplugged arround 6:30 this morning.
    Is it possible that I have a bad battery?  Or is this relatively normal?

    From what I have been told it is normal. When I purchased my phone the sales representative told me the battery life was relatively short. We have all been told that it is best to let a battery run down before dischargin because if we recharge when the battery is only partially discharged then it "remembers" that charge point and will never be fully charged necessitating more frequent charges. The sales rep said that the Blackberry Batteries do not have a memory so it is not necessary to completely discharge them before recharging and it is ok to charge them each night even if the battery shows 3/4 charge left. As a result, I just place mine on the charger each evening regardless of the amount of charge left. Another user told me that leaving messages on your phone drains the battery but I don't know if that is true.
    If you are not using it after a complete recharge and it discharges by mid-afternoon then you could possibly have a defective battery.

  • Battery Life significantly! reduced just by loading Maverick

    So when will Apple address this major issue?
    Just do a search and see that a lot of people have experienced this. My battery life was cut by 2/3 the moment I loaded Maverick. I loaded it based on the promise of improved battery life. THIS IS A LAPTOP. BATTERY LIFE IS EVERYTHING!!!!
    HAS ANYONE FOUND A REAL SOLUTION? Everything I read are well meaning people offering standard advice about battery life. Please do not add more standard book advice here (i.e. close programs you are not using, etc. duh). Please respond to what we are saying, "My battery life was cut by 2/3 the moment I loaded Maverick." How do I fix it?

    I haven't had any problem with my battery so far. it's just probably that you been playing around with it too much. besides with the new apps store and the applications it might take more juice now.

  • How I fixed my short battery life on iPhone 5, and ActiveSync problems at the same time.

    For anyone still having activesync or battery problems I have a potential fix:
    I've had two issues lately. 
    First, my battery life was draining at an insane rate.  iPhone5 lasted about 3-4 hours before absolutely dead from a full charge.  LTE disabled, WiFi disabled, icloud turned off...about as power efficient as I could make it, and I was hardly using it at all.  I was losing 1% batt every 2-4 minutes. 
    I solved this problem by removing my work account (Exchange Activesync) from my mail accounts.  Obviously I couldn't stay like that for very long, so after confirming it stemmed the battery issue, I tried to add it back.  Did a bunch of different methods and tests, and what ended up working for me was:
    Remove ALL accounts (Had Exchange, gmail, icloud)
    hard reset the phone. 
    After it came back up, I reset the Network Settings just for good measure. 
    In Mail control panel, make sure "Default Account" doesn't have an old mail account listed (option may be not even present if you've removed all accounts, but I was having issues earlier where even though I'd removed accounts, it kept listing them in the Default Account/Calendar sections
    Add the Account
    Open Mail
    It actually took a min or two to start populating data, I didn't think it had worked, so give it a few minutes.
    My battery life issue seems to be fixed, and my ActiveSync account works again.  I've been off the charge for about 4h 40m now, and battery is at 90%, and that's with moderate usage on LTE.
    Hopefully this helps out anyone having similar issues.  For what it's worth, I removed/readded my Exchange account several times and it never worked until I had removed all accounts (my iCloud account was the last one to be removed), so if possible, just remove everything.  I had already restored, DFU'd, and tried several other steps.  This was what worked for me.
    I have NOT added my iCloud account back yet, but will be doing this now to see if any issues reappear.

    I am experiencng rapid battery drain as well. Before checking the forums I have closed apps running in background, turned off LTE, turned off location services, turned off wi-if & turned off Bluetooth...my battery drained to 53% in 3 1/2 hours.
    This is my 1st personal iDevice so I do not understand some of the verbiage. 
    What is "disabled safari on icloud"? 
    I go to Setting - iCloud & I am not signed in
    I don't see anything in Safari Settings about iCloud
    Thank you in advance for your assistance
