Check battery temperature if your Z1 isn't charging

If you press *#*#4636#*#* in the dialing screen it'll show you the battery temperature. I think there is a bug which causes the battery temperature to be determined as unusually low. If the temperature is below 4 or 5 degrees Celsius then it won't charge.
Mine even goes as low as -30 degrees Celsius which is ridiculous! If I keep my phone connected to charger for days, if the temperature rises above zero, only then the phone charges.
I think the issue started after Kit Kat was advertised twice on my phone. I reset my phone to factory settings, repaired my phone through PC Companion, pressed volume & power button, pressed the red button, nothing fixes the **bleep** false temperature of the battery.
If your phone is not charging then you should see if your phone has the battery temperature bug or not.

A quick search in the forum shows a lot of people are complaining that their Z1 isn't charging.
Please go to the dialling screen and enter this code *#*#4636#*#* and check the battery health. I'm sure your battery temp is showing unusually low (hence wrong) and the battery circuit is stopping it from being charged. I'm sure this is a bug but unless Sony makes a note of it, we cannot expect any resolution.
Is there any way to report such bug?
Please note*** If you phone is charging properly then the battery temp will be fine *which is why* it is charging so please do not post and say your battery temp is fine.
People who are unable to charge their phone, THEY should be checking their battery temp and report if the temp is showing abnormally low or not, like mine is at -30 degrees and not charging.

My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.

My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Since you did not say how long the battery lasts I am nut sure the battery is the problem.

In 'about this mac' the battery condition says 'check battery'. Should I be worried?

Hey guys,
I've been looking at replacing a few parts for my macbook as it is getting a little old and beaten up now, and I don't have the money to buy a new one at the moment. I have just been searching through everything to see if anything is wrong. Mine is a white macbook from late 2009. So far I've had the bottom case replaced because the rubber was starting to peel off and was very scratched.
Now I am looking at getting my trackpad replaced (or fixed) as it is stuck down and doesn't click anymore. I've tried cleaning it incase there was something stuck in it, but hasn't worked. After some research I've found that this could be due to a swollen battery. I had a quick look at it when I replaced the bottom case but it doesn't look like it has swollen. So I checked to see the conditon of the battery and it says 'check battery'. I am only up to charge cycle 299 and there is no problem with charging it or its charge life (not that I've noticed anyway). Could there be another reason as to why it says this?

Firstly the trackpad could easily be due to the trackpad screw not being at the correct depth, easily fixable especialy if the tap to click works.
As for the battery check battery usually means the battery has become faulty in some way. You could try an SMC reset with your adapter plugged in. (Shift-Option-Command-PowerButton at the same time). Your battery should still work but 299 is way too little for a your year MacBook needing to be replaced.

Is it true that if you charge your phone on a charger that isn't from apple it will mess up your battery??

Is it true that if you charge your phone on a charger that isn't from apple it will mess up your battery?? I just bought a charger from Hong Kong and I want to make sure my battery is safe

You should only use Apple Approved Chargers.

How to increase the battery life of your N series ...

What I am about to post here is valid for any 3G phone or device regardless of model but it is particularly focused towards the N series devices and their power hogging features.
Your battery life is dependant on many many things. How often you take calls on the device, the condition of your battery, the features you use on the device and so on and on. Therefore it is impossible to say that by following the information in this post you will get x amount of days battery life, but it will get you more time out of the battery than you otherwise would have got.
So with that out the way, if your looking to increase your battery life then follow these tips and your battery should start looking a lot healthier.
First of all lets start with THE big one. The one that is going to save you the most juice. Switching 3G off.
Yep, you heard me right. Just by switching the 3G capability of your phone off you will add hours and hours to your battery life. How is this so? Allow me to explain...
Due to the rather poor delivery of 3G in the UK by the network operators, it is rare for any 3G phone to maintain a constant 3G signal. Instead you will find that the phone constantly flips between 3G and GSM mode (Keep an eye on your signal one day). Even those of you on Vodafone who probably have the best 3G network coverage will find this is the case.
Unfortunately, this constant flipping between the two modes sucks power from the battery like a vampire as it alters its reception state for the different modes and the constant flipping is..well...causing it do this constantly! It can sometimes even make your phone unavailable for calls for very brief periods as it trips from GSM to 3G and vice versa.
If you need to use 3G for video calls or whatever then I'm afraid your just going to have to live with this but if you don't (And lets face it few of us do) then you can switch 3G off and increase your battery life considerably.
To do this, go into the "Settings" application (Found in the menu somewhere, by default Nokia normally stick it in "Tools"), and then to the "Phone" tab. In there you will see an option that says "Network mode" and you have a choice of "GSM" or "Dual Mode" (I.e. UMTS and GSM). Set it to GSM and your phone will restart. Once it restarts it will be working in GSM with GPRS speeds only but really for most purposes this is fine.
You have now just extended your battery capability considerably. You can further extend it by going to the "Connection" tab, going into "Packet data" and changing it to "When needed" so it is not constantly checking for a data connection.
The second big change you can make is to turn your phones wifi scanning capability off. The last time I looked not all Nokia's phones that have wifi capability can have their wifi cards switched off entirely but if you can, turn it off except for when you need to use it. Wifi is a power hog.
The next big change you can make is to lower the screen brightness settings on your phone. The less bright your screen is the less power is being used to light it up. Nokia by default leave the screen brightness at something like 50%. Lowering this a bit more will conserve more juice. Before you do this though please consider the fact that lowering the brightness setting will have a big impact on your ability to see the screen clearly in sunny conditions although you will be fine in the dark as you can't lower the brightness that far.
To lower the brightness, go to the settings tool in your phone and into the display option (Hidden in a subcategory called "Personalisation" on the N95). It won't hurt to set the power saving time out to 1 minute and the backlight time out to 10 seconds while your here (Although these are the Nokia default so they should already be set to this).
Finally in regards to the screen, although they may look pretty, animated screensavers use more battery power than the standard blank screen with time and date so avoid them if you can.
It also helps to keep Bluetooth switched off until you need it although the power savings are minimal in comparison to the other changes but every little milliamp counts!
Using the above methods I generally get about 3 to 4 days with about 3 hours talktime on my N95 without using Bluetooth, GPS or anything like that (I might be able to get more but so far I have not paid attention to the battery state before I put it on charge). If I am on a long train journey I can get about 4 hours worth of full screen video and about 2 hours talktime over the period of about 24 hours before it needs a recharge. As I said at the start of the post your mileage will vary greatly depending on how you use your device.
Hope this helps.

no keffa it is a cop out from nokia

the n95 battery is atrocious
dont change the post content as the title is 'How to increase the battery life of your N series device'
your talking about nokia phones specifically
the networks are not to blame
they do not make the handsets : Nokia do !!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to choose my words carefully here...
I would never deny the battery on the N95 is not really up to the job of powering the N95 with its power hungry features. To put the same battery into a phone that has WiFi, GPS and a large 320x240 screen, the same one that goes into the E65 which has comparatively nothing compared to it is a bit pants.
However at no point was I criticising them for the band hopping problem. I labelled the post as how to increase the battery life of your N series device because this is a board for the N series devices. It was a simple choice of wording and not intended to be cutting in any way and I did make a remark that the details would be true of any 3G device at the top of the post.
What I was trying to point out in my second post is that the constant band hopping the phone is being forced to do that is draining its battery so much more quicker than it would if it had a constant signal of one kind or another isn't quite Nokia's fault.
They build it to conform to a laid out specification for 3G. However if the network operators cannot be bothered to roll out their 3G infrastructure adequately enough that the phone can find and remain locked onto a 3G signal that is usable then what are Nokia to do other than offer you the capability to turn 3G off until you need it (Although note to Nokia: That **bleep** reboot the phone does when you do this is entirely unneeded and you know it).
Blaming Nokia for this would be like blaming the manufacturer of your radio for failing to pick up radio because the radio station does not have any transmitters within range of your radio's receiver.
Finally...this band hopping is exhibited by all 3G phones built by Samsung, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, etc, from their most budget 3G model to their priciest piece and is the reason that all phones with 3G capabilities have batteries that do not last for any respectable length of time because these phones are also having to band hop between 3G and GSM.
Finally the proof is in the pudding. Turn 3G off for a few days. See your battery improve. Then (Although admittedly this will be harder to do...mcuh harder) find an area where you get a fairly decent 3G signal constantly. Again, see your battery improve. Try it with a different 3G phone...different manufacturer even. The same will be true.
So I stand by my comment, the network operators and their woeful 3G rollout are the villains costing you a fair chunk of your battery and Nokia cannot be expected to mitigate this....but a better battery would be nice all the same...

Battery isn't charging, what's the problem?

I'm having problems with my battery again (3rd time, yay!). This started yesterday, everything was peachy the day prior. Can anyone assist? (hoping this is some silly operator error...)
-The power is failing when the AC adaptor is unplugged, but the menu bar says I have 10% battery charge left.
-The battery is not charging when the AC adaptor is connected. The light is on, but I checked in System Profiler. It recognizes the battery is installed but says it isn't charging. (yes, the outlet is live)
-I tried both cords for the AC adaptor.
*Battery Info from System Profiler*
Full Charge mAh: 2444
Remaining Charge mAh: 256
Cycle Count: 149
This is my 3rd battery for this notebook. The first one was recalled, the replacement failed shortly after and I bought the current one in May '08. (Serial: 3K8080HJT70C) What am I doing wrong?
Oh yeah, and my AC charger is new (6 months).

First, the battery. The recalled battery replacements have not held up well, and, unfortunately, feedback on the Apple site isn't what I would call complementary about their batteries. When I replaced mine, I got a Newer Technology battery from OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAP17AL60RS/ . Mine has 104 cycles on it and 4113 mAh capacity.
Now, charging. There are only 4 components in the charging circuit: Power adapter, DC-in card, battery and logic board. It sounds like your power adapter, being newer, is probably fine. Where the power adapter plugs into the computer, is that jack loose? If you put a pen or pencil on it and push it a little, gently, does it wiggle side-to-side? If so, your DC-in card may be bad. Assuming the battery stats are good and the battery is good, it should charge. Sooo, last but not least, is the logic board. Probably the best thing you can do is find a friend with a Powerbook or visit an Apple store or Apple authorized service provider to use another power supply that they know works (just to be sure) and a substitute battery (again, to be sure). If indeed yours are good, and I went through this a few months ago with one of our Powerbooks, you can replace the DC-in card, and if that doesn't work, then the logic board.
If you want Apple to do that, have them send it to the Apple depot, where they'll do whatever is required to put the Powerbook in close to new condition. Put an old, bad, Apple battery in it, so they'll replace it. Cost runs around $350 if the case isn't banged up, and if it is, the price can go up. When ours went in, they replaced the logic board and put a new battery in. Of course ensure your data is backed up, and if anything is really confidential, move it onto an encrypted disk on your hard drive or back it up and delete it.
If you have the store replace the logic board, it will run you more than double what they charge to send it to the depot.

Save and Protect your iPad Device: How to Save and Prolong the battery life of your new ipad

Please, as you read add more answers to this on how to prolong and save your ipad battery life. Thank you
Saving the battery life of your iPad
1.Keep Your iDevice Out of the Sun
Whatever you do, don’t leave your iPhone or iPod sitting in a hot car—heat kills batteries faster than any other factor, and your device that used to keep a charge for hours will eventually barely hold a charge, and you’ll have to pay Apple to get it replaced. The same thing holds true for any really hot environment: try and store your device in a cool place.
Reduce the Screen Brightness
If you keep the screen at maximum brightness all the time, you’re wasting a lot of battery life—and the screens these days are so bright anyway that you don’t really need to, especially at night. Head into Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper to adjust the default level of brightness, which you can probably keep as low as 30% most of the time.
2. Make Sure the Screen Locks Quickly
Even if you’ve adjusted the screen brightness, there’s still no substitute for having it turn off quickly when you’re not using it. Head into General -> Auto-Lock to set the screen lock to happen as quickly as your device will let you. This makes a big difference if you are always picking up your phone and putting it back into your pocket without turning the display off.
3. Use Airplane Mode When You Don’t Need Internet (iPad/iPhone)
If you’re busy spending the next 8 hours playing Angry Birds, there might not be a good reason to have internet access, so you can consider using Airplane Mode, which turns off both Wi-Fi and the regular wireless radio. Of course, this will prevent phone calls if you’re on an iPhone—but if you’re busy with Angry Birds you probably don’t want the interruption anyway.
4. The more important reason to use Airplane Mode is when you’re mobile in an area with a really spotty connection—because the iPhone or iPad will try to stay connected at all times, it’s going to be constantly searching for a connection, which can drain your battery. Head into Settings and flip the Airplane Mode switch right up at the top of the screen.
Use Wi-Fi Instead of 3G if Possible
According to Apple, the iPad will get 10 hours of battery life under regular use with Wi-Fi enabled, but will only get 9 hours using 3G—the iPhone gets 6 for 3G and 10 for Wi-Fi. Of course, if you’re heavily using the Wi-Fi, you’ll still be draining the battery—the point is under similar workloads, Wi-Fi is better than 3G for battery life.
You can enable Wi-Fi under Settings -> Wi-Fi, and then pick the network you’d like to connect to.
5. Reduce or Eliminate Mail & Calendar Checking
If you’ve got a bunch of email, calendar, or contact accounts configured, and they are all being checked and downloading email on a regular basis, you’ll be draining the battery an awful lot faster than you need to.
Head into Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Fetch New Data and change the setting to the least frequent check possible. If you don’t use it often, you can just turn Push off entirely and then manually check when you need to.
6. Reduce or Eliminate Push Notifications
Do you really need notifications from Twitter or whatever other apps you’re running? You can turn these off one-by-one, or turn off Push entirely by heading into Settings -> Notifications, and save a bit of extra battery life since your device won’t be pulling in data for those applications anymore.
7. Reduce or Eliminate System Sounds
This one is probably a little silly, but if you really don’t care for the system sounds you can save a small amount of battery life by removing the sounds. A very, very small amount, most likely. Head into Settings -> General -> Sounds to change them.
8. Disable Location Services
If you don’t really need the location services, you can disable them to save some battery life. Head into Settings -> General and flip the Location Services setting to off.
9. Disable Bluetooth If You Don’t Need It
If you don’t use a Bluetooth headset or keyboard, you should keep the Bluetooth radio disabled to save some extra battery life. Head into Settings -> General -> Bluetooth to flip it on or off.
10. Disable Vibrate Feature in Games
If you’ve got a game that uses the vibrate feature, you can turn that off to save some battery life. This mostly matters if the game heavily uses it, and you’ll need to change the setting for the game. As a side note, and it should go without saying, if you’re running really intensive video games, they will kill your battery very quickly.
11. Charge and Discharge Your Battery Regularly
Your iDevice needs to be fully discharged and recharged at least once a month to operate at maximum efficiency and keep the battery from dying. You’ll also want to make sure that you don’t store the device with a dead battery, as that can also cause the battery to lose charge capability—when your battery dies, make sure to recharge it quickly.

Irem Bright writes and would love your own addition if you got other helpful tips.
Thank you all.

The reason that Apple suggests you drain and recharge your battery once a month is not because it affects the life ofthe battery. What it actually does is calibrate the battery sensor, giving you a more accurate reading.
Other than that, you done an admirable job of summarizing the Knowledge Base article:

Best of luck.

Why am I getting the message "Your app isn't identified as a universal app in the Store." when I have already associated my Windows Phone app to my Windows Store app?

I associated two Windows Phone apps to their respective Windows Store apps yet one of them is giving me this message on the pricing tab...
"Your app isn’t identified as a universal app in the Store. Publish a Windows app with the same name, and you’ll enable the universal app icon, with all the associated benefits. If you’ve already published a related Windows app, this icon may not

I have checked under "Learn more" and I am meeting all the requirements for the icon to show. Please help as I really think having this icon on the Phone store will help downloads and I want my users to know there is a Windows partner app.

I downloaded the new OS X Yosemite.
Not sure what you mean by new, since Yosemite was released about 9 months ago.
When i try to open it i get this message, The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite.
iPhoto version 9.6.1 is the latest version of iPhoto that is compatible with Yosemite. If you're just now updating to Yosemite from an older version of OS X, then you may have missed your window of opportunity to upgrade iPhoto to the latest version.
So i go to the Mac App Store i get this message, "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store."
With the release of the 3rd Yosemite update,10.10.3, which includes Photos, iPhoto is no longer available for purchase.
I would recommend that you use Photos.

What does Apple mean by "For best battery performance, leave your device connected to a power source until the restore is complete."

I just recently returned an IPad air and exchanged it for another. I first set up this new one as a new IPad but then deleted all content and settings right away (since I wasn't getting the progress I had made in apps and games) in order to restore it from my previous IPad Air. I then checked after on how to backup via icloud and saw this line under the subtitle of how to restore from a backup, "For best battery performance, leave your device connected to a power source until the restore is complete." What does Apple mean by "for best battery performance"? Im just a bit worried of issues.
p.s. And yes I did have it connected to the power. And the ios is the default ios for new IPad Airs.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It only means you should restore whilst it is connected to a power supply, so that your battery doesn't go flat during the process.

Applecare replaced battery says "check battery"

Hi
I took my Macbook Pro 2.4ghz Santa Rosa in for a Applecare repair 5 weeks ago because it would not boot from the battery and the audio port needed fixing.
The AASP repair shop diagnosed the battery was faulty on the spot and ordered the replacement 3 weeks later the computer was ready. They lost my power cable + brick and replaced it with a smaller used cable they had spare after arguing my case.
I finally got the cable and have checked the stats for the "new" battery and it says "check battery" here are the stats from System Profiler:

To see if i can fix this i've run the battery down and charged it up again and i've updated all the software including the most recent firmwire.
I've read that Apple will replace the parts with reconditioned parts in the Applecare terms but will they also do the same with batteries ??
I don't really want to go back to the repair shop i wasn't impressed with the service. Does anyone think that Apple Store will replace the battery with a new one on the spot or calling the help desk could be persuaded to send me a replacement ?
Thanks
David

In addition to loosing your power supply and replacing it with a lesser model, the numbers looks like you were given a used AND defective battery. The health of that battery is only 42 percent if it's for a 1" MBP, and much less than that if it's a 17".
We don't know your geographic location. If you are in the US, I would call Apple Consumer Relations and calmly relate the story. That AASP's status should be reviewed.

Service Battery & Check Battery appear with original battery & new battery

My older MacBookPro, purchased in November 2007, is continuously showing "Service Battery" in System Preferences: Energy Saver & in the battery icon drop down menu. "Check Battery" appears in the System Profiler. I have recalibrated both of the batteries. I purchased a new battery in February 2010 I am having the same issues.

not sure if this will help, but i will post my experience as well. i purchased the macbook 13" about 1 year ago. the battery had less than 100 cycles, and health was above 90%. within the last week, i noticed that my macbook shutdown without warning when the battery life reached about 25-30%. so before the computer reached that level, i plugged the power cord, but that caused the computer to shut down. i then noticed after turning the computer back on that "Service Battery" showed up on the menu bar. after reading the forums, i decided to take the macbook to an apple store. the genius took the computer and opened the casing. apparently, the problem was major dust inside the computer causing a malfunction. after cleaning it, the macbook worked perfectly.
so far, it's been about 5 days since i took the computer to the apple store, and no further problems to report. so before buying batteries, this might be help your issues. hope this helps!

Still experiencing excessive battery drain on your iPod Touch (after iOS 4)

Hello folks,
I am wondering just how many of you are still experiencing excessive battery drain on your iPod, after updating your iOS to 4.0 (and beyond)?
If you are, I highly suggest that you submit a report to:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html
... and keep submitting reports until this problem is solved.
Some have suggested switching the iPod to Airplane mode when it is not in use but really, that isn't very acceptable as a permanent solution. The simply act of placing it in standby should be enough... just like it prior to iOS 4.x.
A similar problem crept up on my iPhone 4 (with the release of iOS 4.3) but Apple did promptly solve it with iOS 4.3.1. It would be nice to receive the same consideration for the iPod Touch 2nd gen... OR at least provide a way to go back to iOS 3.1.3.
The following is my bug report to Apple:
Hardware: iPod Touch 2nd Gen
Since the release of iOS 4.0, the iPod has been unacceptably poor for standby longevity. The battery now drains completely within 24 hours.
Prior to iOS 4.0, the iPod could retain a standby charge for, at least, one week.
In use, with WiFi, 4-5 hours of run-time was typically expected, however, after the iOS 4.0 and subsequent iOS updates (up to the current iOS 4.2.1 (8C148) the run-time is about 2 hours.
There are a lot of iPod users complaining about this problem in the forums. Please solve this problem.

If someone has a suite of apps on their device and Apple pushes an update and then immediately afterward the battery drain starts, then from my point of view, the new OS is to blame.
Your point of view seems to be flawed and not valid.
Apple has no control of 3rd party Apps.
Maybe the older Apps are not behaving properly with the new iOS?
Maybe the 3rd party Apps need an update to comply to the new iOS?
Like I said above, everyone uses different Apps and we have no idea who has what Apps.
Please don't shift the blame, and why won't Apple address this publically or allow a pathway back?
Why do you think Apple needs to address this if you don't even want to try testing things yourself?
Report your own testing here.
Turning Airplane mode on will start in your testing. If you battery lasts longer, then try the next step like turning the Airplane mode off and turn then off all the Apps that use Push or Fetch. Try and identify the problematic App that might be draining the battery.
I am on my 5th day now and the battery is still FULLY charged.
I have no need for Apple to fix anything.
My suggestion would be to test the things I described above rather than placing the blame on 4.2.1 iOS.
If nothing works, and your battery still drains, then you probably have a defective iPod Touch or battery.
I am certainly not saying some people don't have defective devices or batteries, they just need to do a little more testing to find the problem.
Good Luck and let us know your testing results.

How to check iMac temperature?

What's an easy, free way to check the temperature of my late 2013 iMac? It's a 21.5 2.7ghz 8gb model with Mavericks. Also, what temperature is it supposed to be at?
Thanks!

iStatMenus is a really cool (pun intended) little app that will give you everything you need. There's a 14 day demo to test it out, that may give you the info you need, $16 if you want it longer. There's a bunch of sensors in your machine, the temperature each one is supposed to be varies but something in the 80-100° range is probably "normal" for most of them, but of course will change a little according to ambient temperature, and a lot depending on what you are asking your CPU & GPU to do.
Get it from the developer here, install is quick and painless:

Sporadic check battery message?

I have a 2010 Macbook Pro. Twice in the last 2 days I have gotten a "check battery" message in the power pull down menu, although I have seen no real decrease in battery life or had any problems. I brought my computer in to a Simply Mac store (there isn't an Apple Store nearby) and nothing happened when they tried to run the battery test. By that I mean...the test wouldn't even run. I needed my computer this evening and planned to bring it back and check it in tomorrow for a tech to look at, but again, the check battery message has disappeared.
Does anyone have any insight to what could be causing this, or anything I can do to fix it? Or do I just have to bring it in yet again and hope something can be done about it? I am covered by AppleCare for 2 more years, but don't want this to be a battery issue that isn't covered!

The model 6,1 Late 2009 and the model 7,1 Mid 2010 A1342 use an A1331 battery. You can replace it yourself or have Apple do it for you for $129. If you need it quickly make sure you order it from a U. S. seller. Orders from China can take two or three weeks.

Here's installation instructions. You'll need a Tri Wing Y1 screwdriver in addition to the usual #00 Phillips screwdriver.

Check battery temperature if your Z1 isn't charging
