BT cordless phone battery rating and use as a char...

Hello,
Can I use any mAh rating of rechargeable batteries in my cordless phone?
Can I use my phone as a general battery charger?
I've got two old cordless phones in use, the main one is a Bt Esprit 1250 (takes AAA batteries) and the spare a BT Diverse 4000 (takes AA batteries). The Esprit originally came (I think) with 650 mAh batteries in it (replaced with 1000 mAh when they died), the Diverse with 700 mAh batteries.
Is there any reason not to use high mAh rated batteries? and if I do will I get the full benefit of the extra capacity?
I presume the chargers in these phones are designed so that they switch to trickle charge when the batteries are fully charged, so as not to damage them. Does anyone know whether this switch takes account of the actual capacity of the batteries (and not stop when they've reached 650 / 700 mAh)?
Is there any way to find out what the tech. spec. of the charger is, specifically the charge current?
Thanks,
Piers.

The quick no mucking about answer to this is to call the BT shop.
Explain exactly what you want in the spec of the device. Eg, how many numbers stored in contacts, corded. cordless, DECT or not etc etc.
They will come up with a product. You can then either proceed to the point of sale, or make a note of what they suggest and try to find it cheaper elsewhere [and please note one and all, I'm not saying where ].
If you cant beat the BT price, get back onto the BT shop and order. They are very prompt if the item is in stock. You will find all the manuals etc for everything they sell on bt.com and there is plenty of advice on here.
I started a product search, but there are so many variables, best to do it [directly with the BT shop for starters] yourself.
Hope that helps. BTW, with many devices, you only need one BT socket, extensions can simply plug directly into a power supply elsewhere in your property.

Can i buy i phone from US and use it in India or different part of the world after unlocking it? if yes, than will apple unlock it or need to do it by myself?

There are no officially unlocked iPhone 5's available, in the US, at the present time. No announcement, as to availability has been made. The only unlocked iPhone, available now, is the iPhone 4 or 4S. Either of these versions will work, but will have no warranty or support in India. They can only be purchased directly from Apple, no where else.

I tried to restore my iPhone 5 to factory setting and when i did it attached to a person i do not know apple id so now i can't use the phone. I purchase the phone from sprint and used it for 2 years and never had a problem.

Hi - I tried to restore my iPhone 5 to factory setting so I could give it to my son but when I did it reset to someone else's apple id. I don not know this person and I am the only owner of the phone purchased from Sprint. How do I get this phone to work?

Its called Activation Lock. Take the phone to Sprint and explain your problem. It is their fault and responsibility to properly reset used phones.

MacBook Pro battery: Conditioning and using

So, my question is mainly this: Is it harmful to ALWAYS leave the power cord attached and plugged in on my wonderful MacBook Pro? Or is it best to use on battery power only until it is nearly drained?
Also, does one need to condition the battery after so many hours of use?
Thanks

Most of the time my Macbook Pro (first generation) is plugged in, running on A/C power. I have done so for about 7 or 8 months when I first got it. Lately I've been using the battery as it should be used and I've noticed some minor changes with the battery and battery life. Occasionally the battery power meter would show it at only 47940 mWh (at 100%, fully charged), then when I recallibrate it, it would jump back to around 55000 as it was designed straight from the factory.
Again I would take the charger off and use it, and it would only be on a/c when it was being charged. Sometimes it fluctuates drastically, (usually once or twice a month) but a simple recallibration fixes the problem. I'm thinking the reason why it's not constant and steady is because for the first 7 or 8 months of its life it has always been running off the a/c power.
I don't know if this is irregular, it certainly doesn't bother me, but it's just an example that you can look at if you decide how to condition your battery in the future.

HT201263 I tried to update my iphone 4s to the iOs 6.1.1 and now its on recovery mode and I cant restore it because i changed my email adress and all my data had gotten erased. I just need to turn my phone back on and use it again without all the data

It keeps saying my iphone is in recovery mode and I cant restore it. It just tells me there's an error and cant be done. I just want to be able to turn my iphone back with the data or without it

Sorry. You're not making much sense. What is the exact error you're getting?

Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

Cordless phone problems

Yesterday I suddenly found that a cordless phone that I had used for years lost its dial tone, I could not make or receive calls. When I dialled a number I heard the usual number tones then nothing.
I tried phone without filter, without powerline,direct into the hub. No luck. I changed batteries then used a different phone, same problem. BT checked my line and no fault. At present I am having to use a corded phone (works perfectly)which is driving us crackers as we now have no answer machine and we cannot move phone to convenient locations.
I have contacte BT via chatline but after about 30 minutes of being advised to try all the remedies already tried I was offerred they conact bservice engineer at my expense. The helpline was ended at this point.
Would be exremely grateful for any help that anyone can offer.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sounds like your base station has lost it's connection to the handset, or has failed. The menus on the handset often have a pairing setting -you could see if that's gone wrong. Do the handets have an indicator to show they see the base station?
Only other thing I've seen is if I put the base station too close to my Internet router, it kills the phone signal dead -and vice versa.

HT4528 I have no battery life in my iphone 5 since the iOS 7 upgrade. I have completed all suggestions to help increase the battery power and now I can't use my phone more than 4 hours without the battery dying. What is the solution?

I have no batter in my iphone 5 since upgrading to ios7. I have talked with verizon techinical support and completed all suggestions to maintain the battery. And by the way, these suggestions are annoying and limit phone use as well as require you to close out each application after use, also turning off wi-fi and blue tooth. I don't need this phone if I can't use the features for which it was purchased! Any ideas? Is there a fix coming soon for the battery? Can I return my iphone for my old droid?
Help!

Hi! I don't what's happened for your phone but, you can have more battery life with turning of Wifi, decries brightness, turn off location service and etc. also you shold use less Free+Much Ads apps becuase they use more battery than paid apps normaly.
for more informations about battery normal life see here.
I guess it's not a normal issue. so connect to Apple Care or wait for a better answer...

The iPhone6 I purchased 9/23/2014 went dead. Went to use the phone this afternoon and nothing. Tried turning the phone off/on, nothing. Tried rebooting phone by pressing the home and power button's while the phone was connected to power, nothing. Can't believe that the phone battery is dead or that the phone is fried after only six (6) months of usage. Any suggestions (hopefully other than purchasing a new phone) is appreciated.

Try the things in this Apple article (some of the which you may have already done). If none of them work go to an Apple Store if there is one in your area. Or contact Apple via the website for support help. As mentioned, as long as nothing is wrong with it that would void the warranty (liquid damage for example) then you're covered. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201412

HT4583 MY IPHONE STARTED SMOKING YESTERDAY WHILE I AS USING IT. AS I AS PUTTING THE PHONE DOWN THE BATTERY EXPANDED AND BLEW UP IN MY HAND. NOW I HAVE ACID BURNS FROM THE BATTERY NOW I HAVE ACID BURNS ON MY HAND. WHAT CAN I DO????

Definitely see a doctor.
If the phone was under warranty, make an appointment at the genius bar. Actually, you can do that even if it wasn't under warranty (and probably should).
FWIW, nearly every documented case of this happening can be traced to liquid damage or a botched 3rd party repair.

My ibooks keeps crashing and using up all my battery since I installed ios 8. how do I fix this

Hello paula.a.williams66,
It may help to force close all open applications, then reset your iPhone.
iOS: Understanding multitasking

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If iBooks continues to misbehave, the next step would be to restore the device.

TS2446 My iphone 5 was stolen, i have refused to disconnect my service with sprint from the phone because i still have the hope that once the thieves turn on the phone or try to use it, I will be able to track them and find my phone. do you think is a goo

My iPhone 5 was stolen from me in a train station, the phones battery was dead, the iphone hasnt bee turned on yet, everytime I call it it rings once and goes to voicemail which tells me that it is still dead, nobody has charged it nor turned it on yet, the find my iphone app says its offline, and the sprint service representatives have told me that the phone has not been used yet. I dont want to disconnect my phones service just yet, becasue even if the thief restores my phone, and wipes out all of my information they cannot and will not be able to use it as if its theres because my carrier would still be connected on it. My hopes is that the thief will attempt to use the phone to make a call or to receive a call from my phone and then I will be able to find them tracing their calls. I did this once from my a blackberry that was taken from me and I found it... My question is can they erase all the information from my phone to the point of using it although i have not disconnected it from sprint????

Yes.
Unless you are certain that it was stolen, don't overlook the fact it may have been turned in to a lost and found.

I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

One likely reason is the % battery is not that accurate because of the smaller battery capacity in the iPod compared to iPhone and iPad. Users why use a % battery app post that the % reading changes a lot.

Using Adapter with Cordless Phone

Hi everyone! My family and I are going to live in South America next week and need help deciding whether to buy the Skype Adapter or the Dual phones. If we use the adapter and get an online number, if someone calls our online number, can we answer the call on our cordless phones?
Also, does anyone know if the adapter has to be connected to the computer to make calls?
Thank you!!!

Howdy, I think it's unlikely you'll be able to do what you want. There haven't been any new phone drivers for Palm OS devices issued since the 2005 Phone Link Update, and the Palm OS is essentially dead so there won't be any new drivers written.
