Battery shows incorrect time and no notification on low battery

Hi everyone,
I have just purchased a new battery, of course its not an original one. The problem is that my battery meter shows the percentage incorrectly. Like it says 42% remaining, but suddenly my laptop got in to hibernation (as i set the action to perform upon low battery level reaches). Now what can be the issue? As the battery new and its working fine, i mean its giving me backup of 2+ hours. Oh, and my laptop is DV6-2157wm with Windows 7 Home Editions (64-bit).
Waiting for your kind suggestions and tips.
Take care,
Regards
Fahad Ali

Why does the time remaining on the battery meter change drastically sometimes?
Battery life depends primarily on two things: what you do on the mobile PC while it's running on battery power, and the power plan settings that control the computer's use of power. The mobile PC's power consumption varies constantly, depending on your particular activity and how long you spend on that activity. For instance, watching a DVD consumes considerably more battery power than reading and writing e-mail. For these reasons, the battery meter often lags in reporting the charge and the estimated time remaining.
hence battery meter is never so accurate. older the battery, chances are more of sudden drop.

  • Logviewer 1.14 showing incorrect times, and other issues.

    Couple of issues with running LogViewer, wondering if anyone can help.
    First, and seems to be the most frustrating, is that the LogViewer screen is showing incorrect times for the events. I am in Mountain Time zone in the US, which is GMT-7. When looking at the log from a web browser, my router is displaying the correct time. The text file that LogViewer saves on the local computer shows the same correct time. The LogViewer screen, however, shows a time 7 hours into the future. IE, if I type out the log from a DOS window, the last event will say something like "Mar 28 1:15:05 2008", but that same event number will be listed on the logviewer screen as "Mar 28 8:15:05" Any ideas on what may be wrong and how to correct it?
    Second, all events seem to be grouped exactly 3 minutes apart. I realize this is probably an effect of the router sending the information every three minutes. Anyone know of a way of changing that period?
    Hm, just noticed a third, but very minor issue. The text file written has the wrong day of week on it. It's listing Mar 28 2008 as a Wednesday...
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    OK, the tech info. I am running LogViewer 1.14 on a Windows XP machine, contacting an WRT55AG with firmware 1.20. The connection is through a Cat 5 cable, not through the wireless.

  • Widget world clock shows incorrect time

    widget world clock shows incorrect time.. how can i fix this?

    There are two possibilities: (1) your computer's time is wrong. Open System Preferences, select the Date & Time tab, and either set the time manually or select a time server. If you choose the time server click on the Time Zone tab and choose your correct time zone. (2) click on the i on the World Clock widget and select a city near you (that's in the same time zone as yours.)

  • It shows incorrect time in time zone iphone 4s!! If i select 'set automatically' the london time show is wrong,how do i correct this?

    It shows incorrect time in time zone on my iphone 4s!! If i select 'set automatically' the London time, is wrong,how do i correct this?

    I recently got the same problem and noticed that it only started after I'd downloaded a particular app which used the location feature.  It was the free version of the Weather Channel that started it off and, since I've deleted it, I've not had the problem of being in Singapore or China since!
    I expect there will be other apps that cause the same issues - probably a bad piece of code being used to pick up the location function.  It might be worth trying to turn individual apps off that feature in location services to pinpoint which other apps may causing your problem.
    Hope this helps!

  • My iPad won't charge, reboots all the time and is stuck at 1% battery.

    Since last evening, my Ipad hasn't been charging at all. When connected to a wall charger it recognizes that the charger is connected but normally there is a lightning icon that keeps blinking when the Ipad is charging correctly, that is not the case right now. The battery has been showing 1% since morning but its on and there is no low battery alert. Also yesterday the iPad kept rebooting every two minutes, today it has happened only a couple of times since morning. I have tried restore, hard reset, updating the software to iOS6, everything and still no luck.
    Has anyone else faced this issue? What could be causing this?
    Thanks
    Priyesha

    Yes, we all seem to have the same problem but nobody has offered a solution.  I've tried two different chargers, but it wont charge.  It seems to recognize that it is plugged into a charger and shows the lightning bolt but it's constant not flashing. If I unplug the charger then a plug appears next to the lightning bolt.
    It seem that the connector inside the iPad might be broken...or it's some kinda software iOS thing as somone mentioned earlier...but I dont know how to get the iOS to reset when I cant see the screen.
    Any thoughts

  • Can I change incorrect time and date with

    Hello,
    I used my digital camera in a different time zone and forgot to set it accordingly. Now a bunch of photos have the incorrect time and date. Can I use Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) to change this? I only found instructions on the Internet for Elements, which I do not have.
    Windows Live Photogallery was only mildly successful. In the Windows 7 Explorer the date is shown correctly, but when I go to open the file in Adobe Photoshop, the old, incorrect date is shown. That's why I hoped that I could change this for good with Photoshop.
    Thanks in advance!

    There are several dates in the metadata.  THe date shot is set by the camera and I know that you can not change that in Bridge.  There are programs out there on the web that will do it.

    It's not an Apple issue and Apple has nothing to do with it.
    The only way to buy an iPhone officially refurbished by Apple is to buy it from an Apple store or via Apple's website.
    Refurbished iPhones sold via other retailers are not refurbished by Apple.
    Sounds like Wireless Wave did all they could... they refunded your money.
    Your only issue is with them.  Stop getting all worked up over it.

  • CUIC Reports Show Incorrect Time

    We have a single node UCCX 9.0.2 environment that we recently switched over from HRC to CUIC (co-resident) for reporting.
    While running some test reports I noticed that the times listed in the reports are off by several hours (see screenshots).  I have checked the time zone setting everywhere I can think of, and it's also happening to anyone that runs the report rather than just one person.  I have the time zone set to America/Chicago for each user (although I've also tried CST and US/Central).  The UCCX server is set to Central Standard Time and it gets it's time from an NTP server.  Checking NTP status on the server shows that the server's time is dead on.
    I feel like this is the type of thing that an incorrect setting would cause, but I can't think of any other way that this could be set wrong.
    I did find a bug (https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCur41928) relating to time zone issues that is known to affect our version, but from what I can tell it doesn't apply to us.  We're already set to the time zone that the workaround would have us set.  I was going to apply the workaround anyway just to see if it made a difference, but I'll have to re-host our license if I do that.

    Hi,
    The user should not have any timezone set. It should be set as blank. Also under the Datasources, check the UCCX Datasource and Edit. Ensure that the timezone is GMT.
    Basically CUIC should not have any timezone set. It will pull the information from the CCX timezone which is CST in your case. In the event of any timezone settings on CUIC, you will have issues.
    The options are for standalone CUIC so leave it at default.

  • IPhone 5c keeps showing incorrect times.

    My Iphone 5c shows an incorrect time, i tried a few things including resetting the phone. I have changed the time manually but after an hour or so the time just randomly changes. This is very frustrating and makes the phone useless to use as an alarm clock. I am sure it has to be a software issues but have tried syncing and like i said i have even done a hard reset but all to no avail!...Please help..is driving me mad.

    How far is it off?
    Always the same amount off?
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • IPhone 5 Showing incorrect Time. Unable to send text messages.

    Ok here's my problem. My time on my iPhone is incorrect. I check my settings it's on automatic and it is set to my Hawaii time zone. I am unable to send text messages because I believe the time is not the same as the server. When I try to send a text it says Go to Date & time settings. This happens at least once a day. My time would be incorrect for 10 mins then go back to correct time. This happens on LTE and on WiFi. I also have rebooted the iPhone. One last thing. I check my battery usage. It's says 4,294,967,278 days on Standby. I guess the time is messing up my stats. Anyone have the same problem? Please help. If not I hope new ios update fix this.

      My house is in an area that is covered by 3G.  But I work in an area that is 4G-LTE.  (Actually, my house is right on the border of these coverages because I notice it switching from 3G to LTE periodically.)
    Anyway, what I notice is that when I switch from the LTE to 3G network, my iPhone 5 clock gets corrupted.  It's 2h22m off.  Weird.  It doesn't do it right away, but after I'm home for awhile, I'll notice that the clock has been changed.  I know this corruption causes errors in my iMessage app because I've gotten an error message about it.  It may cause errors in others.
    Once I leave my house and go back into stable LTE coverage, I can do one of the following to correct the clock (because it won't autocorrect):
    - turn the phone off and then back on
    - go to Settings => General => Date&Time and switch "Set Automatically" off and then back on
    These fixes will also work if I stay in 3G coverage.
    This has happened every day since I got the phone so I know it's a real bug.  I'm sending a support request to Apple today.  Otherwise, however, I love my iPhone 5 and LTE speed makes all the difference.

  • After Updating podcasts and some show zero TIME and not play on ipod

    Why do some podcasts not play and show zero TIME? At first I tried to play on ipod and after choosing to play a podcast it wouldn't play and jumped back to original title list on ipod. I wondered why, then went into iTunes and it showed the TIME on these as zero. Therefor there is nothing there to play, but I wonder why some different podcasts do this? Is it the website person who produced it that messed up so it wouldn't get into iTunes with anything, or is it iTunes not working? I have all podcasts set to Import using MP3 Encoder in Prefs, so then the KIND in list of podcasts show up as MPEG AUDIO FILE- does this make a difference?
    iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)
    iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    I noticed I had to click on title name in podcast list, then I saw highlighted UNSUBSCRIBE at bottom as you said and was able to re-get podcast and it now has some minutes showing in TIME so am able to play. THANKS!
    I still wonder why this happens and if it's on iTunes side or producer of podcast.

  • Startup screen shows ghost time and date

    My iPhone 3Gs recently started showing a shadow time and date behind the actual time and date on the startup (unlock) screen. The narrow bar at the top also shows shadow settings that aren't the actual ones I'm using. I have downloaded the latest operating system, removed the sim card, and reset the settings but the shadows still remain. When I unlock the screen the shadow goes away. This started when I took the iPhone to Europe. Is there any way to get rid of these shadows?

    You may have taken a screenshot of the locked screen and assigned that to your wallpaper. Try changing your wallpaper.

  • Login Window clock shows incorrect time, clock time fixes itself after log in...

    Good Evening,
    This morning I turned on my MacBook Pro and while I was typing my password to log in, I noticed that the time in the login window clock had a wrong setting. The time displayed was 4 hours delayed in relation to my time zone. However, after logging into my user account I looked and the menu bar and when the clock got displayed, the correct time of my time zone appeared.
    I don't know what could have caused this issue. The only thing I know is that yesterday evening, I was using my MacBook Pro with Windows 7 via Bootcamp and used it for a prolonged time (about 5 hours), and then shutdown the computer and did not touch the computer until this morning. Could these issues be related? I know OS X and Windows measure their times differently because the former OS calculates time in relation to UTC and the latter OS calculates the time using the actual zone you have specified in the time settings.
    Other than that the issue has not manifested itself again since this morning but I haven't booted into Windows just yet.
    Thanks for your time!

    Make sure the time and date are correct.
    Open System Preferences > Date & Time then select the Date & Time tab.
    Select:   Set date and time automatically
    Then select the Time Zone tab.
    Select:  Set time zone automatically using current location
    If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    Click Go then move the coml.apple.systemuiserver.plist file to the Trash.
    Then restart your Mac and check the time ...
