Blackberry Z10 Battery shuts down in 30%

I am die hard BlackBerry user had different models. But I an first time having this issue in my z10 which I purchased on Nov 2013.. All in a sudden the phone charge drops from 100% to 25% then to 0%.. I am totally fed up with this situation.. I use my phone mostly on 2G connection, only e mails, what's app & BBM.. I would like to know whether the problem is with the Battery or OS.. Also the phone gets heated up so quickly in less than 05 minutes.. I would appreciate if anyone can help me with this issue.. Thanks.

the problem is not fully solved earlier it shuts down at 25 and now at 21

Battery shuts down at 95%? but works fine after reboot.

Kinda an odd problem. I have a early 2011 macbook pro 13 inch. When I fully charge the laptop and then use it off battery, when the battery reaches 95% it shuts down and It wont turn back on until i connect to AC. But all i have to do is just quickly touch the ac and the computer will turn back on and I can then run it on battery for hours with no issue. Any Idea? I've recreated the problem twice and it was 95% that the laptop shuts down on both occations.

Try a SMC reset

Battery shutting down

when i'm using my battery without the power adapter connected, it automatically shuts my computer off between 10% and 30%. I can tell its my battery because when it shuts down and i press the button on the battery to see the level, the lights don't show. after a minute, they come on with one solid dot. then when i turn the computer back on again, it will play the startup sound, boot for about 5 seconds, and then shut down again. i have reset the power thing (i don't know what it's called when you remove the battery and the power then press power for about 10 secs)
any help?

I'm guessing your battery has around 80 cycles. Different MacBooks may automatically sleep for a variety of reasons.
Calibrating your battery is always the first advice you get, but it may prove better if...
1. Use your power adapter as much as humanly possible. Theoretically, your battery should go to 10%, but in reality, various system demands (including temperature) may make this number unrealistic.
2. Incorporate charging into your daily ritual, as with your cell phone battery.
2. It appears you haven't calibrated your battery. Check here:

Ipod mini- 3/4 battery shutting down with "no battery power remaining"

After fully charging my ipod mini, while it still has 3/4 battery on the battery meter in the corner will shut itself down due to "no battery power remaining" if i push the NEXT button too many times in a row. This is a consistant problem and always happens when i have a half battery power or more. I do keep it in Shuffle mode, and i am fully aware that will drain the battery quicker, however there should be no reason a freshly charged ipod with 3/4 battery should not be able to shuffle a few songs without shutting down. Has anyone else ever had this problem or knows of any solution for fixing it? Any help would be appreciated!!

my ipod is doing the same thing...except when I turn it on it will say i have 3/4 battery for only about 10 seconds, then it turns off. All the other forums I have read say to get the battery replaced, but Apple can and usually does send a faulty battery so it might be time for a new ipod.

MacBook won't start on battery/shuts down when power adapter is removed

Help & advice needed please.
My MacBook won't start without external power, it gives a whir then a click then nothing. Once started up, if I remove the external power it just shuts off.
The battery shows at 98% & charging. Coconut Battery shows the following:
Current battery charge 4126 (& increasing as I type)
Maximum battery charge 4200
Current battery capacity 4200
Original battery capacity 5200
80%
Battery loadcycles 111
Age of your Mac 6 months
Charger connected yes
Battery is charging yes
Does anyone have a clue why the Mac won't power itself on the battery when everything else seems like it works?
Cheers!

As of today, my MacBook and I have been together for 40 days. Yesterday, while I was happily surfing (on battery), it powered down with no warning. Okay, these things happen. I plugged it in, restarted, and all seemed to be fine. Battery was about 70%. I did other things on my other machines and when it was about 90%, unplugged it and everything was good. This morning after using it unplugged for 1.5 hours it did the same thing, but decided to only work with the power adapter, not on battery alone. When trying to boot without AC, it would try to spin the CD and then fall back into off. When on AC, if I pulled the adapter, it would last two seconds and go blank. I made an appt. with the Apple store (Fashion Show Mall, Las Vegas) for 3:20pm. I got there right at 3:20pm and the monitors showed I was 5th in line. Store was fairly packed, at least one patron at every display item. Monitors also said the next MacGenius appt. was "approx. 8:30pm." Glad I made an appt! I was served about 15 min. later, during which time the monitors had changed to "No more MacGenius appts. available today, please try tomorrow." However, one guy came by without an appt. and was told he would be put on standby and to come back in 30 min.
Once I explained my issue with my MacBook battery, my Genius tried one of his batteries. "I just want to make sure it's your battery and not your motherboard." My machine worked fine, so he said "No problem, I'll have you out of here in 10 minutes." He got me a brand new battery, tested it, and put my old one in a box on the rear counter with four others. He pulled the serial number from the "About this Mac" area, didn't need my receipt for purchase date or anything. I had even printed this page: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/ to use as ammunition, but didn't need it. He did approve highly of my dashboard widget "iStat pro", available here: http://islayer.com/.
So the battery issue is a very common problem, and one that Apple has tried to deal with as painlessly as possible for the consumer. My Genius did ask if the battery showed an "X" in the icon bar, and I said no. Just wouldn't run on battery. On the way out of the store, one of the 3 MacBooks, in fact the one closest to the door, had an "X" on the battery icon. When I unplugged the power, it shut down immediately! The moral of the story is to contact Apple immediately with problems and give them a chance to fix them. Hope this helps others.

IPhone 6 plus battery shuts down at 3 percent

I have a problem my 2 week iPhone 6 plus shuts down at 3 percent but when I connect the lighting cable it reboots immediately and shuts down again it takes 2 automatic boot up before it stays on, I do never had this type of problem it is weird because it shuts down automatically like if the batter is drain at 3 percent when I connect the lighting cable it boots up and shuts down automatically and then boots up again and then it stays on but showing at a starting point at 3 percent I do not know why this happens... Also my battery drains very quick it takes only 1 day when I have to recharge the phone, this never happen before it took me up to 2 days to drain completely the battery now it takes only one day of normal use...

I am in the same situation you are. I called the fraud dept, was on hold for over an hour, confirmed everything and was told I would get the phones on the 19th. The interesting thing is that my son got text messages on his phone to call the fraud dept even though my phone is the main number.
Customer service tells me something different every time I call to make sure I have an order.

Unexpected battery shut down & internal clock

For the past several weeks I have been having a problem with my iBook battery. It gets around 30-40% of remaining supply per the battery meter and then totally dies. There is no warning of it's shut down it simply shuts down.
When I attach the power cord back up and restart I get the following message:
"Your computer's clock is set to a date before March 24th, 2001. This may cause some applications to be erratically.
Please use the Date & Time preference panel to set the clock manually. For more information, choose Mac Help from the Help menu. "
The clock is okay, but I have no clue to why it keeps telling me the computer's clock is set at that date because the time and date are right. Nor do I know if this has anything to do with the battery meter not working right or the unexpected and sudden shut downs.
Any ideas?

I have previously in the last week reset PMU and that doesn't seem to have stopped the problem.

hi,
I've been experiencing the same problem with my iBook G4, so I started looking for an answer on the internet and came across this website (http://coreyarnold.org/ibook/?p=20). You might want to read it and see if it could help you. I haven't tried it yet but it seems like it was useful for a lot of people.
Good luck !

Powerbook G4 Battery shuts down without signaling low battery

Hello,
<Edited by Moderator>
Okay, so we'll get a new battery, but please answer why do all of the battery test lights light up after the battery has been sitting idle, outside of the computer, for 10 hours?
We have three external hard drives and a lot of programs running. We have reset the PMU many times. Plus, we have a strange clicking noise coming from around the hard drive, which we associate with a power problem in this old house, and all of our battery problems date to when we first plugged in in this house. Resetting the PMU stops or reduces the noise for a while; then it starts again. A UPS backup has helped to keep the noise lower than before, however, the battery problem persists. By the way, the house voltage remains wonderfully steady between 230 and 234.
I'd write and edit more, but this typing delay in the reply screen and the constant jumping around of the edit window are much too frustrating. (IE8 -- which has been fine until now -- on different computer.)
Thanks in advance. Would happily reciprocate for a carefully constructed response.

Thanks for posting this under an active subject.
The internal hard drive is listed as verified. The three external drives are not listed as verified. Although, I did just run a verification on them, and there were no problems found.
The battery drains toward 0 percent, only when the external Lacies are connected. (a 500gb Big Extreme, a normal sized 500gb and a 250 gb the same size). Without the external hard drives connected, the battery does not drain. They are daisy chained on a FW800 port, as they have been many, many times before.
I think that we have updated everything possible to update. We do have DivX and on2flix standard installed. Otherwise, we try to stay away from 3rd party software.
Here are the running processes, in case that should help. It has been running slowly from time to time. I'm still in the early stages of the Mac learning curve, so I could imagine missing the obvious.

HT201706 how do I recover a voice memo that didnt finalize due to low battery shut down in the middle of the recording?

iOS 8.1.2 battery on ipod touch died in the middle of recording a voice memo. Now I found the file but the file wont play and I cant email it. I get a message that says its being optimized for sharing at this time. That optimization never happens. What's up Apple?

TS4002 iPad shut down duet low battery after recharge email is now missing, any way to retrieve it?

I was in the middle of composing or replying to an important email,gmail, battery shut down and now I cannot retreive the very lengthy important email. I have tried contacting google and troubleshooting by looking in archives, deleted spam, all mail etc, 'sent' also, in case it maybe sent through a default, but not there either, archive either! Please help!

You can save any mail you want to keep on your mac, by dragging it to the 'On My Mac' Filder in Mail.
You can then delete anything left in iCloud you don't want.
If you want to use an alternate service for mail to iCloud, you need to set it up at system preferences > Internet accounts.

IBook shuts down without warning with 3rd party battery.

Can you iBook G4 folks with battery savvy please check out my iBook G3 question:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1743983&tstart=0
To summarize, my brand new 3rd party battery causes the battery icon to go red after 3.5 hours run time with 1 hour left (23%). The iBook shuts down with 13 minutes left (4%) but doesn't get to 10 minutes so no warning message.
The distributor said some G4 iBook owners also reported the same strange behaviour.
Does anyone have any ideas or has anyone else experienced this? Yes I reset the PMU - no difference.
Mrs H

All the literature from Nu Power says I should get the warning - it's just that the battery shuts down before it gets to 10 minutes left when the warning SHOULD (they say) appear. Another conversation with the techies confirms that the message should appear.
I have recalibrated it thrice, each time it runs a little closer to the 10 minute mark for time left. I'll keep trying.
Trouble is we are leaving for a trip very shortly and don't have time to return this 2nd Nu Power and try for another brand.
I get about 5 hours of run time when trying to discharge the battery fully as quickly as possible by having screen at its brightest, while running iTunes with visualizer on and receiving a radio broadcast.
How much time do you get on your new Apple battery? (on a G4?) We are going places where we will be without electricity for a day or so and the long charge and run time are our prime necessities.
Thanks for your reply,
Mrs H

Hp pavilion g6 1301tx- Shutting down automatically at 30% Battery

My Laptop is shutting down automatically at 30% of battery.Shutting down in the sense the screen goes off and gets swtiched off without showing shutdown screen.I experienced less battery life between charges so, I used HP support Assistant software,it asked me to calibrate my battery ..now i couldn't calibrate because of this problem..
So anyone please suggest me a solution.. Thanks in Advance

Mines started doing exactly the same! Its just 12 months old though and hardly ever gives me a low battery warning. Then it will turn off without shutting down the proper way. When I plug in and turn back on, the battery says its at 20-25%
Is there actually a solution to this and whats causing it?..because if it's the battery then **bleep**..they don't last long.

Laptop suddenly shuts down with battery at +60%

Hey guys,
So i had my laptop for a 6 month now, it is an MSI GT683DX Windows 8.1/Updated from Win 7 HP, but recently i did a battery calibration using the offical MSI software (it just charges and decharges the laptop)
But now, my laptop would just die randomly whenever it is off the charger.
The symptoms are:
When not plugged in, it would just die randomly. It won't do a proper shutdown/sleep/hibernate, it just goes black, as if you pull the power on a desktop.
About a month ago, the windows battery indicator would be a little off, sometimes it would show 15% left, where i would get a message indicating that it is at 15%. However, if i dont plug it in, it would suddenly show a message saying it has 2% left, and then just shut off immediatly. I have fixed this by setting the low and critical battery warnings higher, and didn't have a problem since.
So i think something is wrong with the windows battery meter, for example, the battery is actually empty and windows thinks it is at 80%. So can't finish properly calibration process it will just shut down and thinks that have 0% but I know that is fully charged and forced shut down at 60% or 70% ??
Is there a way to reset the windows battery stats? Or should i let the laptop totally run itself dead, by letting it shut off, powering on, and repeating this until it would not boot?
Any help appreciated

Hi, may I know your OS is MSI OEM WIN7 HP or it is a retail version?
Have you updated the drivers, BIOS, EC after upgrade to WIN8.1?
Also you can remove MSI SCM and check if the problem still exists.
A better way to judge it is battery hardware problem or OS problem is to recover the OS to MSI factory default and check again. I guess you haven't build any MSI OS recovery DVD before, so this way can't work. Then maybe you need the help of repair center.
Hi, thanks for help
So when I buy laptop it was WIN 7 Home Premium OEM and later I see some discount for Win 8 to upgrade machine..
Now using Win 8.1 and I don't think is OS problem, force shut down start to happening after I run MSI Battery Calibrate software.
Bios is not upgraded since win 7
Drivers and scm running fine all from Msi site as well
EC updated whit last version
So laptop running fine but it seems that I make mistake when I decided to run calibrate software due to max 5-10% error on battery counter..Now its 60% :-) I am afraid that my battery is dead...

Critical battery shut down - at 50%!!!! (T440s
