Encore WT8 battery always shows at 100%

The battery icon at the bottom right of the screen always shows the battery to be at 100%, up until the battery is drained and the tablet powers off. How do I fix this?

Did you try to calibrate the battery in the past?
To calibrate the battery, you should firstly discharge the battery until its would be fully empty. Then recharge the battery again till its fully charged.
This procedure should be repeated two, three times in the row
But note: the tablet cannot be powered on by pressing the power button if the battery power is completely exhausted. Its recommended to charge the battery pack by connection the AC adaptor for 30min before turning on the power.

Magic Mouse battery always shows 100%

Since upgrading to Mac 10.6.7, The preference window for the magic mouse always shows 100%.
After installing MagicPrefs free drivers, (because Apples' sensitivity settings suck), MagicPrefs show
a more accurate level of 84%. What gives here Apple? Are you letting the competition beat you at
your own game? I'm getting disgusted with Apple's lack of support, fixes and updates to reported problems.

From my troubleshooting, it seems it's specific to the individual mouse.
I have two Magic Mice on my desk, one for a MB Pro and one for an iMac. The "trouble" Magic Mouse, which always shows "100%" AND frequently disconnects, did so in 10.6 and 10.7. on my MB Pro.
I thought maybe the Bluetooth module on my MB Pro was bunk--so I swapped mice and took the "stable" Magic Mouse on the iMac and paired it with my MB Pro--no problems. The "trouble" Magic Mouse, formerly on the MB Pro, now on the iMac--exhibits the exact same problems--it seems to be the specific mouse, not the OS or Bluetooth modules on either host computer. Hope this helps. I guess I'll be making a trip to the Apple Store to see if they can fix/replace my "trouble" Magic Mouse...

Laptop battery always on full, 100% when connected to AC

Hi,
I usually use my laptop on AC with battery removed. Last week I used it from battery, then connected the laptop to AC. If I remember correctly battery started to discharge to 90 something percent after a while, but now it is always on full.
acpi -b
Battery 0: Full, 100%
I have the following packages installed:
local/laptop-mode-tools 1.61-2
local/acpi 1.6-1
local/acpid 2.0.16-3
local/linux 3.5.3-1
My question: is it fine to have the battery always on full? Or was it better when it was charging/discharging automatically?
Thanks

Let me clarify myself. When the battery is in place and the laptop is running from AC, sooner or later you will see that the battery is fully charged. When this fully charged status has been accomplished, charging stops and battery starts discharging (let's say from 100% to 95%) then charging starts again. I think that was the way it worked some weeks ago. My experience in this very moment is that battery is reported to be fully charged. Always. No drop from 100%.
I think the charger electronic prevent the battery from overcharge, but I don't know why is the change in the behavior described above. Was it a bug and now it's fixed or now we have a bug.
Anyway, people contradict each other how to prolong the health of a battery, but I found that usually they say if one usually uses a laptop from AC the best thing is to remove the battery when charged to 50-60% and store in a dry place, and from time to time it's advised to charge/discharge it.
Uh... what make is your laptop, for example I'm using a Compaq laptop so my laptop has a big Compaq at the base of the screen and nice big Q on the back. I wouldn't be surprised if your laptop is a Dell. Google for product reviews for your laptop: So, since my laptop is a Compaq and it's a CQ60-420US
I'd type
CQ60-420us battery charge/discharge behavior
or something like that into the address bar for chromium, and then press enter.
EDIT: The best way to use/store a battery, and you can quote me on this 'cause I took a Electrical engineering class last semester and know what I'm talking about, is to just charge it all the way up and then use it till it's almost out of battery power. If you charge it when it's at half capacity it will eventually do bad stuff to the battery, or something like that. Anyway, it's just healthier for the battery to have the chance to fully discharge per every full recharge. You don't have to let it go all the way to 0%, 'cause your laptop will probably cut off if you do that, so let it get as close to zero as you feel comfortable with.
A good program for keeping an eye on power stuff is wmacpi. It's what I use, since conky isn't reliable on my hardware when it comes to the battery. Install it thusly:
packer -S wmacpi
and run it thusly:
$ wmacpi
If you use openbox, like I do, you can add the following line to your ~/.config/openbox/autostart file.
wmacpi &
Here's an image of wmacpi showing a laptop being run off AC power.

With regard to the Battery...
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down

Encore WT8 - battery discharging during the sleeping mode

My battery is discharging during the sleeping mode.
If I sleep the tablet with battery fully charged then battery is fully discharged after 14h.
I suppose that must be something wrong with it. I cant find any option to activate functionality to switch off (hibernate) tablet when it is not used in sleeping mode for particular time.
Do you have any solution or advice what I should do to change energy consumption during the sleeping mode?

Hi
The system supports connected stand by function which starts working after your tablet goes into sleep mode.
Connected standby function is to provide a constant connectivity while delivering long battery life and at the same time some activities are allowed to run to ensure that the supported connected standby scenarios (for example receiving emails, updating tiles alive with fresh content, downloading/uploading a file from a/to a website and playing music) are functioning properly.
What does this mean?
This means that even if the tablet is set into Sleep Mode, some background processes are still running and this could be the reason why the battery discharges.

My iPad 3 always shows 100% battery

My iPad 3 always shows 100% battery and suddenly it gets off post complete discharge.

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Lenovo K 900 --Battery charge indicator always shows 100 %

A strange issue after firmware upgrade in lenovo K 900 , When I charged to 100 % , the phone always shows 100 % charge . It is not getting updated and after using for 6-7 hrs the phone gets switched off without any notice . Now I can charge again and this time the battery charge indicator shows correctly . but again the same issue is seen if the phone is charged to 100 % .

Let it die all the way down, to recalibrate the battery, and then fully recharge. See if that helps.

My mac wireless keyboard always shows 100-percent charge when its not

How do I allow my iMac to correctly show the battery level of my Mac wireless keyboard?
It always shows 100-percent, which is wrong most of the time.

It's a bug.

Battery always on 100%

Since yesterday I notice that the iPad battery is always on 100%
I restored it like a new iPad and still show at 100% after usage.
Any solutions?

Have you restarted your iPhone? If that didn't work, you can try a hard reset (don't worry it doesn't delete any of your data). Hold down the sleep and home button (disregarding the power off slider) until your screen shuts off and turns back on. Now let go of the buttons and let your iPhone turn on. This should fix the problem.

Battery shows allways 100%

Hi,
After upgrading to Leopard i am having some difficulties with the power management of my MacBook. The Battery Life as displayed in the menu bar always shows 100% until the battery is drained and the MacBook shuts down. When i plug in the AC connector the Battery won't load until i reset the PMU of my MacBook. But after loading the Battery it always says "100%" and "10:00 remaining". What can i do?
Thanks,
sven

OS v2.2 Battery indicator always shows full until device dies.

After I upgraded to version 2.2 of the OS on my iPhone 3G, my battery indicator is always showing 100% charge. After a full day of normal usage, the iPhone just died with a dead battery. I didn't even get the usual warning when the battery was at 20%.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

That problem has been around for a while. If you now give it a full charge, you will (most likely) have solved the problem. It sort of fixes itself most of the time simply by running the phone down all the way, then recharging all the way.
It calibrates the charge measuring circuit.
Post back if it persists.

Power manager always shows 97% battery remaining

Hi,
it always shows like that even though I plugged in AC adapter for hours. I tried to restart windows (Vista) but it's still the same.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

optimise for lifespan usually don't ever allow the battery to charge to 100%, fully charged and fully depleted are the two states of the battery least want to be in. If you select always charge to 100% and start Charging at 96%, then your battery will go to 100%, but that mode can shorten your battery life by as much 20% or more depending on usage pattern (i have tried various modes in my different thinkpad laptops, so this is from personal experience).
I personally like to start charging say below 80 to 90 % and stop charging at 95%, but personal preference only.

My PSAPTEMP tablespace always show 100% Full or Used

Dear All ,
Using brtools my tablespace PSAPTEMP always show 100% full or Used, I extend 2 Gb size in PSAPTEMP tablespace but still no solution
Please guide me why it always shows 100% used and what is the performance impact on that
Regards
Shahid

Hello Shahid,
> Please guide me why it always shows 100% used and what is the performance impact on that
This is a normal behaviour in case of a temporary tablespace.
If you do sorts, hash-joins, etc. which can not be done in memory-only you allocate extents in the temporary tablespace. If you finish your query, that temporary extents will be marked as free but they still kept allocated. So over the uptime of your database your temporary tablespace will be filled by allocated (but marked as free) extents .. and so you will see it as "full". You can also check the current "real" usage of your temporary tablespace by the view V$TEMPSEG_USAGE:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_2164.htm#i1421319
The temporary extents will be deallocated by a database shutdown or by a database start, if the database crashed before.
If you don't get any ORA-01652 by your query .. everything is fine.
Regards
Stefan

I am unable to tell when the battery is completely charged. I have showing the battery symbol with the bolt-this is present even when the device is not being charged. And it is always showing 2% charge.

Are you using the AC wall charger?

My wireless mouse often loses connection. I replace batteries and it works for a few days before becoming problematic again. Battery currently shows 100% and connection is lost intermittently. Bluetooth is on and wireless keyboard works. Any suggestions?

Is it possible that you have a bad bunch of batteries?
My Magic Mouse on one computer and the Mighty Mouse on another use batteries I bought through the Apple store (with a charger). They last a long time.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC500LL/A/apple-battery-charger
Another possiblity is that the mouse is defective. Since the keyboard connects, it has to be the mouse or the batteries.
