Battery went from lasting days to hours...bluetooth just added

I just got bluetooth set up in my car through the stereo. My battery now lasts less than a day. Does having bluetooth on at all times effect batter life that significantly? A month ago I set by backlight to the lowest level and I was impressed how I was getting 4-5 days on a singlecharge. Bluetooth is not really worth it if it's a huge battery drain.

Why does my Macbook Pro battery not even last me 2 hours even just browsing the internet or typing a document?

So my Macbook Pro 2011 that isn't even a year and a half old only lasts me about 2 hours of battery. My brightness is set to only 4 notches most of the time and I mostly have google chrome and itunes or spotify open when I am using it. I have to charge it about 2 times a day. My old original unibody macbook lasted a longer time than this. Today, my fans were running faster than normal and my battery drained 20 percent in less than a half hour.
Here is all of my battery/power info:

I would greatly apprecieate any feedback or help that anyone could give me. I don't even do processor intensive tasks so I don't know why my battery isn't lasting me more than 2 hours.
Thank you.

if you look at this process...
39484 Shockwave Flash (Chrome P me         53.5     189.5 MB        1.05 GB
it was using 53.5% of you CPU. Which if used over a long period of time, a lot of battery will be used and it will drain quickly, try figuring out what this is and use it less often, or try deleting it if it is not important.

Battery went from 100% to 0% and won't charge :C

Hi guys i need some help.
About 15min ago i was reading an article on a website when the screen 'blinked' it turned off going completly black then turned on again. Then i noticed that it said i had 0% battery but i have my MacBook Pro is plugged in right now, the battery was fully charged and its plugged in?
So.2 problems
1. Battery went from 100% charged to 0% in a matter of seconds WHILE PLUGGED IN.
2. Battery is not charging at all now, just stays at 0%
Is this a common thing? like has this happened to lots of people before and is a known issue?
What info do i need to post up so you guys can more effectively help me? also might need to show me how to get this info.

How old is your Mac?
Open System Info and look at the battery section. If it says Service Battery then take the system to Apple and have it serviced.

How do I disconnect my Facebook account from my Apple device that has iOS 6?
Open your Settings in iOS
Scroll down and tap Facebook
Tap your name > Delete Account
This disconnects your account from your Apple device, but it won't delete your Facebook account or deauthorize apps that you’ve already approved

Since updating itunes to 10.1.x downloads went from minutes to many hours

I have a business class internet service which provides 25 mbps down and over 10 mbps up.
Before updating to itunes 10.4.x, an HD tv episode would download in a few minutes, always less than 10 minutes.
Since updating
1) itunes became unstable and crashed regularly
2) it refused to play ANY HD video.
3) downloads from the istore went from a few minutes per episode to many hours
I did all the normal fixes
itunes repair
itunes deinstall and reinstall
itunes and quicktime deinstall and reinstall
rebuilt itunes library
rebooted numerous times
rebooted cable modem
checked speed and verified minimum speed out of several tests was 12mbps
observed download performance in itunes where download started at 2-3 mpbs but rapidly dropped off to 50 - 100 kbps
monitored network performance and observed that most of the time the itunes client is waiting for inputs from itunes store server.
Generated a trouble ticket and have been through 3 levels of "go try this" with no improvement. At the stage where maybe I might get access to an actual support tech.
I am coming to the conclusion that this is a problem at the source where the server servicing the download is either very busy or slow which is creating a long wait period between packets. Basically my itunes client is sitting and waiting on the store for 9 hours to perform what used to be a 15 minute download.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone have a recommended fix?

Thank you for your reply. I resolved with advice from 4 year old post instructing "holding down option key while restsrting iTunes and choose the preferred library", but thank you again,

HT5687 IPhone5s :After charging the battery does not last days (sn:F17LW55HFFG9)

Successive dates with last day of that month being added to succesive date

Hi ,
I have a piece of code that displays the succuessive dates from the given date to tilll date with a date interval of 30 days. My requirement goes some thing like this. since the given date is '26-nov-08' the next successive date should be the number of days in nov(30) added to '26-nov-08'. that will be around 26-dec-08. For this date it has to add the number of days in December(31) to '26-dec-08' and that turns out to be '26-jan-09'. and this must go on till date.
In the below code i have used 30 for the interval of 30 days but the interval has to the last day of the successive date's month( for dec the interval has to 31 and for january the interval has to be 31 and for february 28)
select to_date('26-nov-08', 'dd-mon-yy') + (level - 1) * 30
from dual
connect by level <= trunc((sysdate-to_date('26-nov-08', 'dd-mon-yy'))/30 )Please advice

hi ,
the query sent by you is correct and could it be in corporated for this query :
SELECT TRUNC(inst_due_date) + (LEVEL-1 ) * (ilpa_term_type),iloan_code,LOAN_AMT,FEE_AMT,
LOAN_DATE,LOAN_STATUS_ID
FROM (
SELECT inst_due_date,sm.iloan_code,LOAN_AMT,
FEE_AMT,
LOAN_DATE,
LOAN_STATUS_ID,
decode(sm.ilp_term_type, 26 ,14,24,15,12,(select to_number(to_char(last_day(inst_due_date),'dd')) from dual)) as ilpa_term_type
FROM ST_IL_SCHEDULE sc,ST_IL_MASTER sm
WHERE sc.iloan_code = sm.iloan_code
AND sc.inst_num = (SELECT MAX(inst_num) FROM ST_IL_SCHEDULE b WHERE b.iloan_code = sc.iloan_code)
AND sc.iloan_code =123456789)
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= TRUNC((TRUNC(SYSDATE)-TRUNC(inst_due_date))/(ilpa_term_type) )
Here we are using the decode concept if ilp_term_type = 26 then 14 but we need to implement the code of adding the number of days to that month in place of this code :
select to_number(to_char(last_day(inst_due_date),'dd')) from dual:
Please advice

IOS 5.0.1 increased battery life from 2 days to 3

I installed the new software on Friday night from a wired connection to the computer. The download and install took around 15 minutes. before the install I could go two days with out a charge. My phone was fully charged on Friday night at 10:00pm. Today is Monday at 8:41am and I still have 50% battery left. I have sent hundredes of text messages, stream hours of pandora, and watch multiple you tube videos. The only two things that I monitor are Wi-Fi when I'm away from home and closing apps. I also always drain my battery life to 1% before charging. If any one wants my setting to try just let me know.

After two days trying out the problem with my iPhone 4s battery - I had "reset all setting", set up WiFi again and disable all location completely, change the notification list. My Gmail account setting to push to off and manually get the emails. iCloud switch tooff.
I had drain the battery completely until iPhone is dead as requested - I had it off for about ten minutes before re charge fully for overnight. I noticed battery had drain rapidly during day if I use messages and emails.
The next day I had re-charged fully to 100%, then plugged it out and I had left it on stand by before I go bed. The following morning I noticed iphone 4S battery down to 84% the same.
It hadn’t makes any differences or am I missing something…

If this is a particular app giving you trouble, I would delete the app then re-install it.

Any fix to the battery life issue from upgrading to IOS 6.0.2, as my battery life has gone from 2 days to 4 hours since 'upgrading'??

I purchased my Iphone 5 on the day of release, since then I have had a 2 day battery life on average, since upgrading to IOS 6.0.2, the battery struggles to last for 4 hours, is there any solution or fix?? If not any idea when this will be fixed?? Is there anyway to revert back to IOS 6.0.1?
HELP!!!

It is unlikely that this problem has anything to do with iOS 6.0.2. It is possible that the update process itself has caused some settings on your iPhone to become corrupted.
Here are some steps to deal with this:
1. Close all apps (use the app switcher; double tap home, press and hold an icon, click the "-" signs)
2. Go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. (Does NOT delete apps or any data; just resets network/iOS settings)
3. Wait for iPhone to restart.
4. Charge iPhone up to 100% and monitor.

MBP 15'' 2011 battery lasts only 3 hours!

Hi
I bought MBP 2011 15 inch last week and received it on Monday.
My configs are
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:          2.2 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          4
L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
L3 Cache:          6 MB
Memory:          4 GB
and I also upgraded to high resolution.
So far, I'm pretty much enjoying my new MBP
But I have one main concern with my new laptop's battery time.
The battry time is really really short!
When I first turned it on, it took 3 hours to drain the battery. (starting from 98% or so)
And I did calibration thing so that the battery runs more "efficiently"
Of course, I didn't expect that calibration would make the battery last longer, but no matter what,
I only get 3 hours of battery life and I'm not even doing something that would drain my battery fast.
I just do simple web surfing and word documenting on about 30-40% brightness (or even lower sometimes)
And I get only 3 hours of bettery time.
So is this because my MBP has four i7 cores or or what?
Previous MBP 15'' models seem to last at least around 5 hrs doing exactly same thing.
And considering that I have been using my MBP only for 5 days or so, I'm worried that the battery life will become even less!
Maybe like 2 hrs?
Is this a particular issue with my laptop, that I can return and exchange to new model or get fixed without fees?
Or is it just built this way that all the MBP 2011 15'' models have this kind of short battery life?

OMG turning off the Bluetooth just gave me like extra 3 hours of battey time! (6 hrs total)
I didn't even know it was turned on in the first place because I never touched it.
I guess bluetooth is on as a default setting.
Thank you so much for advice.
I feel so stupid, but please be understanding since it's actually my first MacBook.
But I'm really glad to find out that I was wasting battery with bluetooth on, and now I can get better battery time.
Thanks once again!

Battery drain from Bedside mode

Hi, I've encoutnered battery drain before with programs and OS updates. I've done resets, reboots as well as battery reinserts. My device seems to be stable after 10.3.1. I had WiFi, Network and blend, and power saver on at 5% battery. I wasn't using the phone but just used the Blackberry blend software on other ohter devices to check emails. The battery lasted about 4-5 hours before it finally powered off. When i put the phone with the same options but in Beside Mode and did a lock to clear the active use of the display. Apart from Blackberry Blend being off and showing as such in Quicks ettings. The battery drain went down 97% to 74%. By the device manage the battery went down over 2% every hour in a standby mode, where compared to out of Bedside mode with blend on it was 1% an hour. No programs really stand out as causing drain nothing 10% or more since last charge before I put it into Bedside mode. Even normal standby mode with the screen off the battery drain is less. What could be causing this, anyone heard of sometthing similar.

the battery drain in the Night Mode is also happening to my leap device, with all the apps closed, and even Economic Mode activated. i try to figure out what is happening. I will come back if i find the solution. I am also looking for a Battery Saver app. I had a great app on my previous phone, an Android, but I still look for a similar app for BB10.

TS1367 I have an early model Macbook Air 1.6ghz duo core. The unit worked until the battery went bad. It will not come on with the power plug inserted. Question is, do you have to have a battery installed for this laptop to come on??
