E17 battery module problem?

I'm just wondering if anyone else has a problem with the battery module in e17 (e-cvs). It used to work correctly before the upgrade but I just noticed that it now shows 100% on the battery all the time. My conky app still shows the proper battery level (ie. discharging 35%) so I'm assuming it has something to do with the e17 battery module. I'm running E17 on a T21 IBM Thinkpad by the way.
Edit: It's definitely the e-cvs upgrade that's the culprit. I went back to e-cvs-2008220-1.pkg.tar.gz and now the battery level is correct again.

The battery time remaining does not work indeed, though the battery percentage remaining does work on my end (which was also broken before for me). Can you confirm that or does it not work at all for you ?

E17 Engage module- No icons appearing

Running on a fresh install of arch, using E17.
Basically when Using the Engage module or even ibar any applications I put in it dont visually show up as icons. The bar expands, they are in there and can be clicked to load an application but visually they are invisible.
The taskbar in engange however does still work fine.
Very odd. Anyone know the problem?
Edit: Just actually talked to my brother as well who also just in the last couple days did a fresh arch install with e17. Same problem.

I've found that I need to provide the full path to the icon in my .desktop files. For instance in /usr/share/applications/opera-browser.desktop I've changed the "Icon=" line to this:
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/opera-browser.png
I suspect this is not the official method, but I found it by accident and it works so I'm sticking with it.

Yoga 3 Pro Battery Charging Problems

I've combined several discussions into one because there are multiple cross-overs of symptoms.
After reviewing all the posts, I see there are two types of problems discussed:
Battery charging but only to a certain percentage
Battery intermittently charging
Several people have reported success with their limited battery percentage problem by following the solutions suggested by MarinM and Vladtech.
For the intermittent charging, several people have reported that sometimes the battery charges, sometimes it doesn't. I'd like to dig into these reports. I have a few questions I'd like to ask.
When does it charge, when does it not?
Are there any patterns to this?
Does swapping electrical outlets make a difference?
Does the USB 2.0 charging port appear loose?
Does the cable show any signs of damage?
Does the AC adapter show any signs of damage?
When a second device is plugged into the extra USB port on the AC Adapter, does this impact Y3P charging?
Are there any battery error messages?
Thank you for your help,

2nd dead iPod Touch 4G in 2 months? Battery/charging problems!

Hi everyone,
It seems as of tonight that I will have to return my second iPod Touch 4G in the last two months. In both cases, it was an issue where the device would no longer charge, and became very hot on the top of the back panel when the device was turned on even for a few seconds (while not being plugged in). In the first case, the device seemed to be defective from the time I opened the box, which was confirmed at an Apple Store, but they asked me to ship it to Apple Repair to be checked out. Apple took a very long time to get a replacement to me, but was good about that problem, and I was happy with the replacement for the past month when all of a sudden tonight the new one would not change and became very hot.
Is this an issue that anyone else has seen? I essentially only charged it off of my laptop or a wall charger unit, but it seems like the battery essentially is shorting out. I love this device, but actually need to use a PDA-type device enough that I am questioning whether I should get a replacement or go back to my old Palm TX.
Thanks for any thoughts/feedback on my iPod Touch 4G battery/charging problems.

Most battery complaints complain about loss of charge. The iPod is designed to lose heat through the back as the battery discharges. This is most common when using the device a lot - like playing games. If yours will no loner charge, by all means return it to Apple.
As far as being a PDA goes, it is as good as any smart phone out there. The PDA, as you once knew it, is dead and has been for 5+ years. Take your iPod to an Apple store and insist on a replacement.

I'm trying to resolve a battery usage problem

I'm trying to resolve a battery usage problem on my iPhone 5S ...
Have been working with an Apple agent via chat and I'm 99% certain it's a software problem, but I can't isolate wish software ...
So, I'm going to set up my iPhone up as new (when I did this as part of identifying where the problem is, it help its charge for 24 hours) but I have a problem with photos ...
I can see photos on my iPhone (restored from an iCloud backup) up to date, but on my iMac/iPhoto with my iPhone attached i) I can only see photos on my iPhone up to a date in the past (mid October 2014) and ii) iPhoto says all photos have already been imported ...
How can I (can I) get the more recent photos onto my iMac e.g. into a folder and then import them from there into iPhoto?
Also, why is the restore from an iCloud backup taking so long (it's been 14 hours now) when I'm pretty certain everything's now there that should be?

Just to add ... my real problem is that I can see photos on my iPhone, but in iPhoto with the iPhone connected, I can only see photos up to a certain date - weird?!!!

Is the 10.7.2 fixed battery drain problem ?

there is no information anywhere and I wonder if this problem is fixed ?

I wonder what percentage of users has that problem? Maybe I need to retest that one Unibody MacBook battery again with Snow Leopard, we always got poor life with Windows on it.
I will double check also the new 2011 MBP, unfortunately, we have no reference to what is a good battery life on that one. It is a new system. It definitely had no effect on our old white MB.
(Now I am having serious battery life problem with my 2010 Touch could that be an OS?)

Fix battery discharge problem?

I have been working with this for 2 weeks w/o success.
Lawrence Finch and others have helped.
First, I tried the battery recalibration and it seemed to work.
I could pass the " battery drain test".
That didn't last.
Now, when I redid the drain test, neither the usage time nor
standby time changed in 5 minutes - that's weird.
Next, I'll try Scotty's suggestions about Background ap refresh.
Following a suggestion, I upgraded this week to iOS 8.1
Alas, that failed, too.
After upgrading to 8.1, the problem remains.
After recharging my phone, I use for one or two calls, one or two messages.
Otherwise, it has been sitting.
During the first upgrade to 8.0.2 some weeks ago,
I added a pass code and downloaded NUMBERS, an app I use heavily on my Mac.
Could either of those be the problem?
I've searched the on-line manual for how to delete NUMBERS to no avail.
I just redid the"battery drain test" suggested weeks ago: noted standby and usage times, pushed the standby
button to put it to sleep, came back 7 mintues later. Result: no change in either standby or usage times.
Previously, I did get a result indicating a battery drain problem.
The battery is dead in 24 hours.
Should I give up and head for the Apple Store?
I'm really getting frustrated.
Thanks so much for your patience,
Thanks in advance for your help.
Many thanks for your previous responses and suggestions!!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

New battery module for Muvo TX

Hi,
My battery module for my Muvo TX FM is broken. Where can I get a new one? Creative used to sell them in all colors, but I can't find them anymore.
I am currently in the US, but an alternati've store in Europe could work as well.
best regards,
elmulti

You can buy one directly from Creative -- this website also has a shopping area!

Which battery module serves which controller?

I have an original XServe RAID with only the drives served by the lower controller populated. It has been in service since about 2003, if memory serves. I have a few questions:
1) How can I tell if the cache batteries are any good? The RAID admin software seems to perpetually have them in a discharge conditioning cycle of 87-90%
2) Which battery module serves which controller (I only want to replace one if I have to)
TIA,
Will

The battery modules are redundant. They both serve both controllers, and one of the batteries can back up the caches for the specified 72 hours.
That said, if they're 5 years old, they're probably getting old. I doubt they'd each work for 72 hours. They're only $300 for the pair; it's probably worth replacing both if you value your data
Also note that drives that are 5 years old are getting long in the tooth as well. Have you had any failures yet? Most data center operators would replace the drives at the 4 year mark, and certainly by 5. A MTBF of 500,000 to 1 million hours doesn't really mean you should run them that long

Nikon Coolpix L100 Battery Exhausted Problem

Hi,
I have recently bought a new Nikon Coolpix L100 Camera just 6 days back from a Best Buy Store. I am running with Battery Exhausted issue for each turn on. Even I tried to change the new battery , the problem doesn't change any behaviour and the outcome is remain same. I am really helpless to find out the cause of this problem whether this is a problem with the Camera or with Battery. As I have purchased this recently , I would like to replace this.
Please help me out on this.
Thanks in Advance,
Anil

Hi anilkhamari,
If you've tried using brand new AA batteries, and you continue to have issues with your new camera having no power, Nokia is most likely correct that your camera is defective.
With that being said there are certain measures you can take to conserve battery power, and enhance how long your camera has power. First thing you could try is using Lithium AA batteries. This type of battery will have a much longer charge than the average alkaline battery. The LCD is the part of the battery that uses the most power by far, and there are usually settings on a camera that can save power by adjusting the brightness level of its LCD. I would also suggest you make sure the power button is always turned off while the camera isn't being used, and that it isn't inadvertently being turned on while in your camera bag.
If you do feel like your camera is defective you should be able to return or exchange the purchase as long as it was purchased in the last 14 days, and the purchase is older than 14 days you should be able to get it repaired by the cameras manufacturer's warranty. I would suggest bringing it to your local Best Buy® store, and they should be able to take care of you.
I hope this helps!

Cache Battery Modules

I've had 2 Cache Battery Modules installed in my Xserve RAID since July 2005, one has started whining and shows a red light, the details are:
Status: Failure
Cycle: DIscharge conditioning cycle
Charge level: 80%
Can anyone tell me what his means? will it charge up and then work okay? shall I take any action or leave it alone?
Suggestions greatly appreciated!
Thankyou.

You may want to check your firmware level. At one point in time the firmware version has effect on the function of the cache battery. It's not good to leave it alone.

Is my battery having problems?

I would like to ask regarding Mac book air battery,

Read the advertising wording carefully. They say 'UP TO" not 'will' last for 12 hours. Also this is based on very low resource consuming criteria. Very ,very fer users will achieve battery run time of 12 hours.
Ciao.

IPhone 4S sudden battery life problem with iOS7

I've been hearing the rumors of iOS7 battery life problems but not experiencing them ... until today.
The battery seems to lose about 20% every hour without my really using the phone at all. No calls. No Safari. No Calendar. No email.
I stopped all applications. Still drained.
Recharged.
I turned on airplane mode. Still drained.
Recharged.
I turned off application background updates. Still drained.
I am recharging now. And I have turned off location services.
Not sure what changed. In the last day I did upgrade my computer to a brand new Mac Book Pro. Could syncing with my new computer have changed something on the phone that would have initiated this.
I installed iOS7 on the release day and haven't had this problem until today.
Any other tips?
-Steve

Curiously enough, the problem is gone today.
Didn't change anything that I know of.
Turned background updating on.
Turned location services on.
Battery life seems to be holding in a "normal" way.
Baffled.

Does 4.2 fix 4.1s battery drain problem?

or make it worse?

Neither. 4.1 does not have a battery drain problem, your iPhone has a battery drain problem. You need to fix the problem at its root. Every version has caused problems for some people, and it isn't a problem in the release, it is a problem with something getting corrupted during the update process. Here's the evidence:
New iOS 4.1 is a battery KiLLER!
iOS 4.1 drains battery
Battery Meter/Life Problems with 4.0.2
4.0.2 guzzling my battery. Your's too?
4.0.1 battery life
Battery runs out very quicky in iOS 4.0.1
Battery nearly nonexistant after 4.0 upgrade
Dead battery after few hours on standby using 4.0 software
3.1.3 battery problem
OS 3.1.3 battery issues
3.1.3 upgrade - shortened battery life?
Battery life cut after 3.1.3 update on iPhone 3G
3.1.3 Firmware is a battery killer - how do I back out this upgrade?
Poor battery life with iPhone 3G running 3.1.2
3.1.2 EXTREME battery drain - what gives?
3.1 Battery nightmare
iPhone 3GS with fw 3.1 – battery life gets even worse
Battery Issues with 3.0.1
BATTERY drain with 3.0
upgrade to 3.0 drains my battery
Battery Drain after Update 2.2.1
Battery Life Radically Decreased after 2.2.1 Firmware Update
