Dell Venue 8 Pro Battery Drain, Support No Help

I lose a silly amount of battery life when the tablet is not in use.
Battery life isn't great when in use either.
Dell support wouldn't do an exchange because the diagnostic check came back fine.
They did tell me to turn down screen brightness etc., not very helpful because I've tried all that. Stayed on Dell's recommended settings trying to avoid this issue. My sleep study seems to indicate that the unit is rarely in sleep at all.
If a fresh install of windows doesn't fix this. I'm done. And dell support has been anything but actually supportive. If it doesn't fall in a checklist you are sol.

THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO THE PERSON THAT SAID THEY DO NOT WANT TO RMA IT//WARRANTY WHEN STILL NEW AND ALSO RELATIVE TO POSTS ABOUT CHARGING WITH BACKUP
I know my response is rather dated, but when you have a severe battery drain issue, just return the unit for an exchange where you bought it.
I know some people mite not have bought it at a "brick" joint, but you should always try to buy your etoolz online, but at a local store for pickup, so you can check it all out and within that window of time offered, return for refund or exchange.
BBuy locally tried to send stuff back for warranty reply, but I always point out the fact it's still under returnable terms, so I can either get a refund or return/exchange and not mess around waiting on my gear.
There are also other ways to buy an other "new" tablet and "exchange" it//the old one also thereby bypassing all stops and go's and getting your new tablet replaced.
I'm always plugged in or on an external battery pack//backup battery pack on DV8Pro anyways, so battery life for me is always longterm.....
For those of you finding you aren't able to charge your via backup battery pack due to cable issues, remember you need a "dumb" usb//"charge" only cable or dumb dongle that makes your cable ""CHARGE ONLY"",,, then it will always charge via any usb powered source.
For example for you that don't understand fully, sometimes devices such as rechargeable peripherals like keyboards and mice and all kinds of non pc devices that now use what appears to be a data cable but is only a charging cable, which does not allow throughput of data due to the fact it's sole purpose is to CHARGE a device, that cable will work.
Like some small radios and bicycle lights and other devices now come with "USB" enabled recharging, and the cables look just like a data cable and will fit a fone, phablet or any standard mini usb plug, those cables are usually CHARGE ONLY, and this is what you need to add to your DV8Pro so it will charge universally bus wise.

Windows 8.1 randomly freezes and restarts on Dell Venue Pro 11

I have a new Dell Venue Pro 11 with Windows 8.1. It freezes at random times -- on random processes (music, firefox, etc.) -- goes to the BSOD and into a restart. Happens a few random times-- a day; no pattern. Looking through the answers to related
questions seems it comes down to hardware problem (new machine) or reinstall the OS. Correct?

Delete key in on screen keyboard for Dell Venue Pro 8 tablet?

Using Windows 8.1 on a Dell Venue Pro 8 tablet. The software, onscreen keyboard does not have a Delete key. That makes it very hard to do any editing after highlighting a block of text. Hitting the backspace key takes it out of the block edit mode and
just deletes on letter at a time. Anyone know if this is a general Windows tablet problem or possibly some unique to the Dell Venu Pro 8 tablet? I would like to change the keyboard layout to include the Delete key. Also, is there setting so it could recognize
when to capitalize a word? I would think that my Sumsung phone would not have a better software keyboard, but it has a much, much better version in SwiftKey.

I guess you mean the "touch keyboard" ?
There is a "keyboard selector" key in the bottom right hand corner, which allows you to select alternative layouts - have you tried that?

Installation Problem - Skype for Desktop on Dell Venue Pro 8

I have a new Dell Venue Pro 8. It had the modern Skype app installed out of the factory, but clicking on it made me download the Skype for desktop app. It downloads fine (in looking through the forums, I saw that others had problems with this, but it was fine for me). The problem comes when it's installing. Skype brings up the "Installing Skype" window. The problem is that it takes up the whole screen. I can do what I need to with the "Select your language" drop-down menu, but there is nothing that lets me go to the next screen. I see no "Next" or "OK" or anything like that to use to continue the installation process. I cannot resize the window. Maximize and minimize are the only options. "Move" and "resize" are grayed out. Thank you for any ideas!

Mavericks MacBook Pro Battery Draining

Hello,
I recently installed Mavericks onto my Macbook Pro about a week back.
I find that the battery drains very quickly; in general it only shows an estimate of less than 3.5 hours with just Safari open. Before it used to be 8-9hours+.
What is going on? Why is my computer showing a decrease in battery life when Mavericks is supposed to increase it dramatically?
Typing this message in a span of 10 minutes already dropped my battery life around 1-2%. (No hardware problems; flawless on Mountain Lion)
Thanks,
Socialgenie

Please read this whole message carefully, especially the warnings, before doing anything.
1. I can only guess which of the modifications you've made to your system is causing the problem. The changes suggested here should be considered provisional; they may not help, or they may remove functionality that you find useful. If a third-party system modification that you want to keep is at fault, refer to its developer for support.
2. WARNING: Back up all data now if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state, even if it becomes unbootable. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP — DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING.
If you don't like the results of the procedure suggested below, restore from your backup.
I will not be responsible for the consequences, and I will not be able to help, if you ignore this warning.
3. You should either remove or update the following system modification(s), if an update is available from the developer:
[Not applicable]
and definitely remove at least the following:
LittleSnitch
InsomniaX
4. Whatever you remove must be removed completely, and (unless otherwise specified in this message) the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job. I can't be more specific, because I don't install such things myself. Please do your own research.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Again, please don't ask me to do this research for you. You can do it better than I can, because I don't use the product and I may not even know what it is.
You will generally have to reboot after uninstalling a system modification. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
5. If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
6. I recommend that you never reinstall the modifications marked with a dagger (†) above, if any. If your problem is resolved after uninstalling all the above modifications and rebooting, but you still want to use some of those not marked with a dagger, you can experiment with putting them back, one at a time, testing carefully after each step. Keep in mind that system modifications may be incompatible with each other or with future OS X updates, so it may not be clear which one is at fault.
7. If you still have problems after making the suggested changes and rebooting, post again. Remember: if you don’t like the results of this procedure, you can undo it by restoring from the last backup you made before you started.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Projector works on Dell Venue Pro 11 tablet?

Hi there
I am trying to run a director 11.5 windows projector (made on a mac) on Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet (win 8.1/1920x1080/baytrail CPU) and am having problems with "alignment" on the screen. The 1920x1080 movie seems to be loading but fills only about 60% of the screen. You can see the desktop through the other 40%. It appears that the movie (at normal size) has been shifted up by 250 pixels and to the left by 400 pixels and is playing. So you are seeing the desktop through lower "SW" portion of the screen.
This particular movie ran fine on a microsoft surface pro tablet a few months ago (no access to that projector file, I republsihed). Unfortuntately I do not have access to that surface tablet anymore. I am wondering if there is a problem with the integrated graphics hardware and/or the processor in the dell. The venue has the new baytrail processor and integrated intel graphics. The surface pro has an i5 processor.
Thanks in advance for any help.
AK

Made some other windows projectors (on the mac) with the following results and run on the dell venue tablet.
(1) 1600x900 - similar problem with only part of screen showing
(2) 1280x720 - projector seems to be working and displaying properly. The projector image is scaled to fill the full 1920 screen width.
I am beginning to think that there is a problem with the intel integrated graphics hardware. I should add that the problem I am having also occured a few months ago when I tested a similar projector with a acer iconia w3 tablet (8 inch screen/windows 8.0/1280x800/atom Z2760 CPU/intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD hardware).
I hope that problem has a solution, hopefully coming as a director 11.6 upgrade and director 12.1 upgrade. I think this combination of cpu and graphics hardware is a going to do pretty good business.

Macbook Pro battery drained and now it won't turn on

I have an early 2012 Macbook Pro. A couple of weeks ago my charger broke and I couldn't get a new one straight away, so the battery drained and it shut off. I don't normally let that happen, but there wasn't a whole lot I could do about it this time. I have a new magsafe charger now and the LED is solid orange as normal, but the macbook still wont turn on even though it's been charging for a good 50 minutes now. It sounded like it was booting up a couple of times and the first time the screen lit up grey and the loading animation (grey bars) showed up, but now it's just black again. I know it's going to take longer than normal to charge after the battery being completely drained for so long, but is it normal for it to take so long or does it sound like it's bolloxed?

Try a SMC reset:

My iphone 5s battery drains fast, please help

I bought my iphone from Dubai few week's back,but i'm living in Srilanka. And i noticed that the battery is draining soo fast.so how can i get out from this situation.plese help

Hello, dilith
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Troubleshooting battery life can be tricky as usage, environmental and other factors play a role in how long the battery will last throughout a day. Here is a basic guide for settings that you can adjust to possibly prolong your battery life.
Optimize Your Settings
Depending on how they are set, a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iOS 7.0 or later.
Enable Wi-Fi: Having Wi-Fi enabled helps consume less power when doing activities that access data. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and log in to a Wi-Fi network.
Adjust brightness: Dim the screen or turn on Auto-Brightness to extend battery life. Turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust based on lighting conditions. To enable Auto-Brightness go to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper and set Auto-Brightness to On. Adjust your brightness when indoors in a non-bright environment. You can do this by going to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper and dragging the slider to the left to dim. After making this change, turn Auto-Brightness off and then on again to reset to the default behavior.
Fetch new data less frequently: The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch data manually: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually. To increase the fetch interval, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Hourly. Note: This global setting applies to all applications that do not support push services. If you receive a lot of email, you can turn off push email to save your battery. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data. Set Push to Off. Messages sent to your push email accounts will now be received on your phone based on the global Fetch setting rather than as they arrive.
Turn off push notifications: Apps with Push Notification alert you of new data, which may impact battery life. To disable, go to Settings > Notifications, choose the app you want to disable, and do the following:
Change Alert Style to None.
Turn Badge App Icon off.
Turn Sounds off.
Note: New data will be received when you open the app.
Minimize use of location services: Apps that actively use location services, such as Maps, may reduce battery life. You can see which applications have recently used location services by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Apps that have recently used your location will have an indicator next to the app’s on/off switch. If you see an app that you do not expect to be using location services, you can disable it by toggling the switch to Off. To disable location services completely, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas: Your iPhone always tries to maintain a connection with the cellular network, which may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turn on Airplane Mode to increase battery life in these situations. Go to Settings and set Airplane Mode to On. Note that you will be unable to make or receive calls with Airplane Mode on.
Viewing Usage Statistics
Knowing and understanding your iPhone usage can help you better manage your battery life. To view your iPhone usage statistics, go to Settings > General > Usage. Under “Time since last full charge”:
Usage: Amount of time iPhone has been awake and in use since the last full charge. iPhone is awake when you’re on a call, using email, listening to music, browsing the web, or sending and receiving text messages, or during certain background tasks such as auto-checking email.
Standby: Amount of time iPhone has been powered on since its last full charge, including the time the phone has been asleep.
Lock Your iPhone
You will still receive calls and text messages when your iPhone is locked, but nothing happens if you touch the screen. To lock iPhone, press the Sleep/Wake button. You can also set the Auto-Lock interval so your iPhone will lock after a period of inactivity. Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and set the interval to a shorter time, such as 1 Minute.
Extend Battery Life if Storing Your iPhone
If you will not be using your iPhone for a while, charge the battery up to 50 percent before storing it.
iPhone Batteries
Also, here is a resource that will walk you through some troubleshooting steps.

Hi Marvin,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing the issue with battery drain on ThinkPad T440s.
Please go to start control panel, and click on power option and click on Choose what closing the lid dose. In the third option (When I close the lid) check if it is selected sleep option on both On battery and Plugged in option. If not please change it to sleep option.
Please check the below image for further assistance on the option.

Blackberry Desktop on Dell Venue Pro 8 Tablet Questions

I have read that it is possible to use Blackberry Desktop with Windows 8 & 8.1. And I have read that Blackberry Desktop works with any version of Outlook other than 2013. I have been told by Microsoft that I can install any version of Outlook older than 2013 onto a Windows 8 or 8.1 device. HAS anyone out there done this. I really like my Torch 9800 and wish to be able to use it with the new Dell tablet. OR does anyone have any other inexpensive tablet ideas.

Hello,
Some clarifications to resolve what you "have been told" versus what is accurate...

Note carefully that it states very clearly Windows 8...not 8.1

We can neither confirm nor deny what MS may or may not have told you.

Not me...but perhaps someone else...then again...

Please re-read the above system requirements page...I'm not at all sure that the Desktop Software is compatible with any tablet at all...but you need to compare your gear against what the Desktop Software supports.
Good luck!

Why is my ipad 2 battery draining so fast HELP!!

I use my ipad 2 for work every day. I got it about 3 years ago (15 days after starting my new job) i charge it every day like normal. But now it runs out very fast aspecially when my son watches movies on Netflix, it only lasts 40 minuets and I gets really shouted at at my boss. HELP

I just received my first ipad2 after using my sisters iPad. I am still setting it up and realized I have had to recharge my battery after a very short time. my sister used her iPad constantly in the last year and she only charged her iPad upon receiving it.She is only now going to have to recharge it for the 1st time in a year! I am thinking my battery has to be defective to drain so quickly, and I don't want to be saddled with a lemon!

Macbook Pro battery drains way quicker since Yosemite upgrade

Where to find Model Number on Dell Venue Pro 11

I am trying to figure out if my tablet will support dual monitors but I need to find the model number (box was thrown away long time ago). Where can I find the model number?

Do you mean the model number or the serial number? Both are available in the "More Info" link within "About This Mac" (on the first tab, "Hardware"). You can also find the serial number under your battery.
