Battery status, and iStat Menus random freezes

So this weird bug i've been experiencing lately with mavericks! The OS runs fine, but from time to time, the battery status freezes, whether its during usage or during charging. It would just hang there at a fixed value, and a reboot later would fix it! The same thing with iStat menus. Any readings would freeze until again, a reboot is made.
Anyone experiencing this issue? Any ideas what might have caused this?

PS: I did a disk verification, and permissions repair once, followed by a reboot which also fixed the issue! The issue would happen again like a week later though!! Do we really need to keep on repairing disk permissions every now and then? It's cumbersum

Logitech mx1000 battery status and settings

Hi,
For some reason, I can't get my Logitech mx1000 to show information in KDE 4.2. Although there is an exclusive tab for this mouse in the keyboard and mouse settings, every option is dimmed. After a lot of googling, I found this command
chmod 777 /dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<device>
where <bus> and <device> are the Logitech values from lsusb. After executing it, the tab in the keyboard and mouse settings shows my battery level but still the option to choose channel and resolution are dimmed.
Also, it would be nice if I could use the battery plasmoid with my mouse.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Same problem here.
I don't want to change permissions as it's probably risky. The battery status is shown only when I'm logged-in as root. Is there a PolicyKit for it or something?

Vista and Windows 7 Randomly Freezing on Unibody Mac

Some people have had to experience this problem and there must be a reason for this and a fix... While surfing the web mostly or sometimes being on the desktop doing stuff the entire system will freeze where you need to do a hard reboot. I do not understand what the deal is with this but I thought it would not be a problem on Windows 7 like it did on vista. Both ran 64bit as well. Anybody who can help with this I would love you forever :/ thanks in advance

Tip on installing drivers in Windows 7 using "Vista Mode"
http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/73202/
Driver Installation Hints
"Download Accelerator" utilities should be disabled when downloading any drivers.
Do not run virus protection software in the background while installing the drivers. This prevents the driver from configuring itself properly.

(SOLVED) Conky and battery status

How come this will not work on my system:
${color red}$alignc Battery Information
${color lightgrey} Currently: $battery
${color lightgrey}$stippled_hr
I have tried a dozen scripts for battery status and nothing works. Does anyone have a sure fire way to get some status from my battery?
I am using a netbook, pretty standard stuff. I don't know why it won't work. I tried other commands and one returned "U" for unknown battery status and what not. How can I find out what is going on?
edit:
Battery: ${battery_percent BAT0}% ${alignr}${battery_bar 8,70 BAT0}
This displays 0% and an empty bar.
I went ahead into /proc/acpi/battery and found BAT1 and no BAT0, so I changed the script and I get a percent now...
This may be solved, but I am going to try the other functions to see if I can get the output I wanted in the first place.
Why does Conky hate batteries?
Last edited by Google (2010-07-02 07:16:26)

"$battery" does not work because it assumes as default BAT0, which you don't have so it will have to be "$battery BAT1". See "man conky" for more info....

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty - Computer randomly freezes accompanied by a single be

I just bought my X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatalty Pro Series and my computer randomly freezes for up to 0 seconds and I hear a single beep from my internal computer speaker after which my system goes back to normal for about 5 to 0 minutes and then it repeats the same process. I have upgraded all my drivers for my motherboard, including flashing my bios to an updated version, and I ran the creative software auto update from the website and updated the drivers and software and I'm still having the same issue. I am running a Dell XPS 400 system:?Dell DXP05 MotherboardPentium D830 Dual Core Smithfield @ 3.0Ghz2 gigs ramXFX Nvidia GeForce 7900GS 256mb Video Cardand X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatalty Pro Series Card?Any thoughts? I've read similar posts however none seem to be the same as my issue.

Hi,
Did this happen right out of the box or do you own the card for some time now?
Just in case, please ensure that the sound card is firmly seated on the pci slot.

MAC 10.7.5 randomly freezes

I am running mac os x, ver 10.7.5. The past week the MAC has been getting slower and now it randomly freezes. I have not installed anything new or performed any updates that I am aware of. Ideas?

If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test.
Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

Keyboard battery status in yosemite

I keep loosing contact with my keyboard and it occurred to me the battery might be low. I went into System prefs to check the keyboard battery status and it is not there. It was in Mavericks. Am I missing something? How do you know your battery status?? And if anyone knows why I might be losing connection. I have a new iMac 5k Retina (yay).

Ok, I feel silly. I rebooted and the battery status is there. There is something weird happening and just as soon as I pinpoint it I can rely on me to let someone know. Meanwhile, I will continue to play with my new machine.

IStat Menus freezes in Mountain Lion

Is anyone else having trouble with iStat Menus in Mountain Lion? Ever since I upgraded, my iStat has been freezing randomly. It will sometimes freeze for hours and then unfreeze briefly and then freeze up again. I can tell because my clock has seconds turned on, and when I hover over the iStat Menu section of my menu bar, I get beachball.
I tried changing my clock/calendar so it's only the calendar icon and then adding my regular Mac clock and calendar back, and moving most of my regular system icons to the right of the iStat icons (e.g., WiFi, VPN, Time Machine, Sync, system clock/calendar), but they still freeze up when iStat does. The only icons that don't freeze are Dropbox and Clusters, which are to the left of iState, and Spotlight and the Notifications icon, which are to the right of iStat. The VPN icon used to be to the left, but I moved it to see if that would help; it didn't.
This is making me want to uninstall iStat Menus, which is a shame, because I loved the program until Mountain Lion hit. I used it every day.

Ugh. I haven't tried this yet, mostly because I have a lot going on in my life right now (writing an M.F.A. thesis) and don't have time to wait on something to happen to my computer while in guest mode (in which I can't access my files and go about my business, in the meantime).
Hmm.
It's a good suggestion, though. I'll see if I can carve out some time to try it sometime.

Blackberry Torch 9800 Freeze and Re-boot random times

Hi everyone,
I have recently had a few application upgrades and since this my phone will at random freeze and then re-boot, which takes an age, especially when you need to make a call !
I have tried a backup then a security wipe and did not re-install the applications but alas it is still doing it.
Could this be the software ?
There is no option to downgrade in the menu to try the previous software edition.
Any help will be very welcome. Steve

one of the guys here had a random reboot issue and it was the battery causing it.
he didnt mention freezing, but if it was an app.
On device go to Options, Device, Application Management is a great way to see what your apps are doing with your CPU usage on Smartphone. Just slide top bar to CPU and see what is going on. Also touch the CPU menu to see other time variables. I found out that an app was eating away CPU cycles on mine
Disable Compression on media card? go to Options, Device, Storage
using a custom theme? try it for a day the factory default one to rule out your theme
remember the esc key closes most apps, except for GPS and some chat clients. the other apps need to use menu and then exit or close. The farthest key to the right is a home key and does not close any apps per se but will end calls.

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB RAM installed. The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.
Ciao.

Randomly Freezing and Running Hot

Hi all,
So my MBP mid-2009 seems to randomly freeze without warning and after no particular operation or amount of time. It could be idling with no programs open or be under heavy use and can take anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour, but it is guaranteed to freeze up and require a hard shutdown. I've been running Mavericks since late 2013 and have only had this problem recently (about the past 3 weeks). I've tried many little things but nothing too drastic (like disabling the hard disk sleep option and the Google Drive "show file sync status" option). I have an SSD and a 500GB HDD installed and am running rEFIt because I have 3 bootable partitions (2 were originally clones of OS X and the other is Windows 8 BOOTCAMP). I have noticed that the CPU is running much hotter than it should ( >80C with no load and the fan doesn't seem to spin up until it hits about 87C unless I use SMCFanControl).
Anyway I downloaded and ran EtreCheck and have pasted the output below. I know I'm a little heavy on the RAM usage, but that shouldn't cause this kind of instability. Also I'm not 100% sure (because activity moniter freezes up when I get the beachball), but it seems like Finder and Safari are the culprits of the crash.
Let me know if you need anymore info and thanks for your time!

Thanks, I'm notorious for not updating things.
I think I may have found the solution, my Crucial M4 was on firmware 0009, the latest is 070H. Apparently the 0309 update fixed a freezing issue:

Did the update to the latest, seems quicker already. Will know within a couple of hours if it worked or not.
Cheers!

Random Freezing and booting problems

My MBP (4 years old) randomly freezes and the only button works is the power button. It has booting problems as well
Done already
clean install of snow leopard
PRAM reset
Safe Boot (boots again after using safe boot but still freezes after a couple of minutes)
AHT hardware test with no result
Still freezes after 1 to 15 minutes.
Anything else I cab do?

Wow my first time i use this forum and a fast reply.
Unfortunately not at home at the moment so can not give exact answers.
When my mac book freezes the fan still works, keyboard and touch pad do not work anymore. I don't think caps lock light works but not sure.
Have original ram and a retail SL disc.
When I have booting problems I can see the spinning wheel and after that only blue screen. If I power off and start in safe mode and then restart again mbp will boot again for 2,3 or 4 times and then stop booting again but still freezing after a couple of minutes.
The funny thing with the booting is after I see the blue screen I can still connect from my mac mini and browse my MBP from my mac mini.(screen sharing does not work though).
And do not know what smart status is
But thank you for your quick reply.

Lumia 620 randomly freezes and reboots

I knew a cheap windows phone is too good to be true. I've been getting random freezes and reboots without any reason at all. This is unacceptable, nokia should address this windows 8 issue afflicting wp 8 phones. Please don't tell be to do a soft or hard reset because we already know it won't fix the problem.

Hi, everyone. I've been having problems with random reboots ever since I bought my Lumia 620 and it was driving me crazy. It freezes up sporadically too, but I think I found a fix for rebooting issues.
When my cousin bought her Lumia 620 I immediately asked her if hers rebooted sporadically as well. She said it hadn't, not once. Then, one time her battery was dying so I gave her mine, and she left me with her battery and on charger while she went home. Anyway, hers started to reboot frequently, whilst mine was behaving ok.
When we replaced the batteries again, mine began rebooting again.
Finally, I checked both our batteries and found out mine was moving around the device more freely than hers. Hers was held firmly in place while mine danced around. Then I tried moderate, yet gentle tap on the side of my device and it rebooted EVERY TIME I tapped it. After I inserted a small, neatly folded piece of paper between the device and the battery, the battery clicked in place tightly and it couldn't move at all. Reboots stopped, no matter how strong I tapped the sides of the device.
This hasn't resolved any freezes, but at least it's not rebooting all the time. So check your battery, maybe it is a hairline thinner or smaller or whatnot from the rest of them and it can move around. A millisecond is enough for it to lose contact, half a millimeter of movement is enough to cause your phone to reboot. Hope this revelation of mine will help someone

Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
The trick is finding what data.
By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
Back up the system first of course,
Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem.

KT6 Delta - Random freezes and LAN Issues

Just built a new PC, installed Win XP, installed all the drivers etc.
I get random freezes - as in the machine will just stop responding totally. I could run for an hour before a freeze, other times its frozen before I've even logged in.
Also the LAN keeps dropping out too. The timing of this is also random, just to make things interesting. I could be downloading a 20MB file, get only 2MB into it, then it just sits there. The only way to get the LAN back up and running is to reboot. Once I've rebooted, its a case of just waiting for it to fail again
The specs are as follows:
KT6 Delta-FIS2R (Gigabit LAN etc.)
AMD 2800XP+
1GB Crucial (2 x 512)
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
80 Maxtor HD
400W PSU
I've got the FSB set to 166 and also set the memory up correctly (333 and 2.5 cl) but to no avail.
I was running with a Soundblaster Audigy card, but took that out and still got the same. I even tried taking out one of the memory modules.
I don't think its a temperature issue as the CPU is currently running at about 47 Degrees and I've got the side off-of the case.
Please - anyone got any ideas???

I have a KT6 Delta LSR and am having probs with the onboard Broadcom 4401 as well.
After Initial boot of machine I have 2-5 minutes to surf the net or whatever. At that time I lose connection. Also if I linger on one page long enough to read, I lose connection. Or shutdown a net connected program, it loses connection.
When I play Tribes - the connection stays till I leave the server - then I have to reboot.
This is driving me nuts. I have disabled the Lan in bios and installed a Netgear 10/100. XP recognizes it but cannot get rid of "Cable not plugged in" message. So I reinstalled the 4401.
I have RR and am behind a Phoebe 4 port router. None of the other computers have a problem with the router, and I have tried changing plug in ports around among the computers.
I have the same version of driver for it as the latest at MSI. Flashed the latest bios lately as well, in desperation.
Any ideas? I sure would appreciate it.
