Freezing and Battery Issues

Every once in a while my screen will freeze and I have to hit the lock button and then unlock it and it works fine. Recently its been to the point where I have to remove my battery to get it to unfreeze and then I get the gray battery with error message over that, I don't know what to do or what's causing this...Any suggestion?

Good morning and thank you vndaley2011 for your feedback.
I understand it is very inconvenient to have your device constantly freeze, especially when you have to reboot to get it to un-freeze. Do you restart your device(s) regularly? (Like once a week.) Since Smartphones are like mini computers, it is important to restart them and clear the memory regularly. If you don't, they will start freezing, and even draining the battery life faster. To clear memory, please follow the steps in this link: Clear Temporary Internet Files Droid Incredible 2
To Restart the device, press the button at the upper right corner of your device for about 2-3 seconds, select Restart when prompted.
If you still need assistance, please send me a Private Message and I will be happy to personally follow up with you.
Thank you,

Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

Freezing and Rebooting issue - Hardware or Softwar...

Sorry if this has been asked before...but...
Is the freezing and rebooting issue caused by a fault in the Hardware or Software...?
Can someone from BT please explain just exactly what is going on.
Thank you,

Just been on live chat as we are fed up of freezing up, random reboots and failed recordings. Usually happens on Gold, Sky Sports - the non freeview channels. Advice from Geetesh was factory reset thus losing existing recordings, stating rather optimistically that this 'will resolve the problem'. When pushed on freezing and failed recordings issue Geetesh said recording of 'internet channels is in a test phase so won't be able to record'?? But we have recorded on gold, fox for example - response is that it won't always work, only for some customers.
The advisor was getting confused. The bit about recording broadband channels still being in test phase only applies to BT Youview boxes. The recording functionality has been available for broadband channels on the BT Vision+ boxes since they launched last January.
To answer the original question. The occasional freezes and reboots are caused by the New Look software (possibly in conjunction with associated system changes on the BT servers). Many of us had years of trouble free viewing using the Classic software on the same black BT Vision+ boxes. It was only when we were upgraded to the New Look software that all the troubles began. If however, you are getting such problems many times per day, or even many times per hour that could indicate a hardware fault.

Freezing and major issues on Lion

I use Quicktime for workout routines, and it has begun to freeze constantly. Especially annoying when it cuts out during a set. The sound will continue to play, but the video will freeze, and any attempts to fix will result in QT becoming unresponsive. Also, force closing while the window is on full screen jacks up the player next time it's opened.
Some notes:
Running latest version of Lion and QT
Videos are in .mpg format
Perian is installed and at the latest version.
Playing thru HDMI on fullscreen
For now I'm using VLC player, with no issues.

Many thanks Cory for this. I actually live in the UK and based upon what you said, I ended up finding this site which was the only place which had the original battery available, not a clone or remanufactured. They do international shipping as well:
http://www.thebookyard.com
which turned out to be really good at providing all of the necessary tools as well.
I am posting back for everyone else to see because I am blown away that (a) it is so difficult to buy a battery for a less than 2 year old laptop ... (b) that a battery fails so quickly and (c) that Apple make it so difficult to change by fitting specialist screws within chassis that mean you need specific tools etc.
Nothing to do with "good design" .... just trying to extract as much money as possible.

IPhone 4S update to iOS 5.1 singal and battery issues

Hi,
I was on 5.0.1 and had no issues at all loved the phone and my battery life. Eversince I updated to 5.1 my phone signal is awful, 2 bars when I had 5 before, constantly floating, calls drop for no reason. Yesterday nobody was able to reach me until I restarted my phone. Switched phone on in the morning yesterday and I get no service for around 30 minutes, after restarting 3 times it finally found network.
On o2 got my iphone from Apple unlocked.
As to battery life I can loose around 10-20 % in 2-3 hours not doing anything just in stand by, my battery issues were solved with 5.0.1 but started again with 5.1
What is apple doing? it is to say the least frustrating as ****. Fix one thing then break another, or break 2 while fixing them. It ****** me off.
I tried to restore my phone 7 times already set up as new and still no improvement.
One more interesting issue is when you go to your purchases in App store, and click dowload and app dissapears and then reappears on home screen few minutes later once it is done downloading.
Anyone else with this kind of a issue?

Honestly guys,
It is either apple is blinded by their immense success which will not last if they keep going the direction they going. They should have more time to test their products thouroughly before they put their production line on overdrive. Company this size ignoring issues like that.
I think new Ipad will have problems as well, it seems this line up 4S and new ipad is kind of transition point to a newer devices and were made just to get something out on the market. Using same CPUs same formfactor.
My problem is I payed a fortune for it and it doesnt perform, I dont pay 600 pounds for a phone because I want to have issues with it. What they are doing is plainly ignoring these problems. Battery issue been going on since the release of the phone, going to be a year soon.
Microsoft and Apple changing places, look like microsoft going the right direction now with Widnows 8 and mobiles where as apple comes up with something like Lion which I hated and now Mountain Lion which plainly is running out of ideas and starting to implement some features from iOS, these are completely different devices. They do not need to be the same, they werent created for the same purprose.
I was on apples side all along but they are blinded by their pride in leading this revolution that they choose to ignore these issues. Relying on peoples stupidity to show off things like ipad 3 is 4x faster than tegra 3 where as in real results it came out 15% faster.
Apple get his fixed before it is too late. Scared to buy your products now!!! Good thing I didnt get iPad looking at overheating issues it is having, and also not charging from cable while in use but draining battery. No thanks

HT4623 iPhone 4 (2011) very sluggish and battery issues after upgrading to iOS 7

Hi,
I am experiencing crazy sluggishness in my GSM iPhone 4 (2011 model) after recently upgradig to iOS 7.0.2 from 6.1.3. Phone's freezing every few seconds and when it does, you can't do any activitiy, keyboard will not respond, videos will freeze etc.
Top of it, the battery is drying up like nuts. It used to work for more than 24 hrs with same settings earlier, now hardly 7-8 hrs !!! ..... I turned off everything like background-app refresh, wireless, 3G, bunch of other things, infact not even keeping any apps running in background while not using, I immediately kill it as soon as I am done using it.
Am very badly stuck, biggest mistake of my life that I ugpraded to iOS 7
- Is anyone experiencing similar issues ?
- Is there any way I can go back to previous version ... is Apple still signing iOS 6.1.3 ? I don't have shsh blob backup of previous version.
Any thought is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rajiv

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Also try a Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
If no joy...
1) Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

10.8.3 rendered my MBP to lag and freeze (and other issues)

Okay. I have a Macbook Pro 9,1 (non-retina, Mid-2012). After installing 10.8.3 through App Store, my computer begins to lag, and it would completely freeze in about 2 hours or so. It starts with one application 'not responding' and it would spread to other applications. When I try to Force Quit, that Force Quit window would freeze as well. None of my keyboard, track pad etc would work. I had to force shut down by holding the Power button.
I have done the following:
Restart
Restart with 'Reopen Windows when logging back in' off
SMC Reset
PRAM Reset
Hardware Test
Disk Permission Repair
Repair Disk
Reinstall OS
Reinstall using COMBO Update
fsck -fy in Single User Mode
I also checked the ~Library/Logs/Diagnostic Log and Uninstalled (with official uninstaller) EyeConnect (who crashed in the background for about 8 times during my 24hrs use of 10.8.3.)
While going through that list, I found issues in kernel_task taking up a lot of RAM (1+ GB in normal mode) (~400 GB in safe mode). The free RAM would also be miniscule just before the multiple freezes I had.
Booting through Safe mode, after about 2 minutes or so after boot, My RAM looks like this:
(No Free Space, Wired taking up 6GB...) The Animation would be very choppy and I would be using Nvidia Graphics Card (GT-650M) instead of Intel Graphics 4000, when nothing graphic intensive is up. Some Post floating in the Support Communities also mentioned how the VRAM for Intel Graphics 4000 shrunk from 512MB to 384MB. I think I have the same problem as well.
I've been to Apple Store/Genius Bar Twice: They basically said I should wipe the computer and hope for the best. They also checked my Hardware, and it seems alright.
I thought of rolling back to 10.8.2 through Time Machine, but for some reasons, my HDD (through Thunderbolt) would not mount when booted from the recovery partition. It's there in Disk Utility, just won't mount. When accessing the HDD through USB 3.0, my most recent back-ups are not present, with the most recent update from March 2nd. (March 3rd ~ March 18th Missing.)This shouldn't be the case, as I back up multiple times every day. I am also able to view the recent dates through Time Machine ('Enter Time Machine' from the menu bar).
I think the only thing left I could do would be Rolling back to March 2nd or Wiping my computer to factory settings. Both I'm quite reluctant to do so, for obvious reasons.
Hypothesis on the issue: I think it's the RAM management gone wrong, causing the computer to lag+freeze so much. I predict the wipe won't help much. But we won't know what will happen unless we do it, I guess...
Did I mention about the sleep problems I had before 10.8.3? I'll skip those since it's not fatal, but they're not resolved in 10.8.3 as well. I installed 10.8.3 hoping to solve those problems, only to get even more problems Help Please? Thanks!

Application freezing and StartUp issues

My PB Titanium, 15", 550 Mhz freezes randomly: when it happens I can only force the Shut Down; afterwards the computer won't startup: I can see the gray screen with the spinning gear and that's all.
I erased the disk and re installed the System (OS X 10.3.9), but now I have the same problems.
I run the apple hardware test and the HW seems to be ok.
Disk Utilities found that the disk is OK. Tech Tool Pro 4.0.4 e-drive found two bad blocks. Otherwise, mounting the volume as external Firewire disk, the bad blocks were not found by Tech Tool Pro.
I have already tried the PRAM and PMU reset.
I don't know what else I can do....

Hi vivi,
Given that your PB boots fine to these others disks, it's quite possible you have a software issue.
Have you run Background Maintenance?
Also, how much free space do you have available on your HD? If it's anything under 4GB, this may be causing your issues.
Have you repaired permissions while booted normally from your HD? (not from the install disk)
the Power Button zone become very very hot after a while, and the fan is often spinning.
That's where your power adapter plugs in. Later model TiBooks actually added another fan there to cool things down more, but prior to the 800MHz, none of the TiBooks have this second fan.
Do you think that this is the problem?
It's normal for this area to become warm while the power adapter is plugged in, especially when it's charging the batt. However, if it's suddenly getting much warmer than it ever did before, then something must have changed.
What is the condition of your battery/how long will your PB run from the batt?
How can I know if the cooling system is working correctly?
Your PB has one fan, for the CPU, centered at the rear. There is no test for it, but when you run CPU intensive applications, it should run after awhile. Try opening iTunes and running Visualizer (turn it on from the Visualizer menu) for 10 minutes or more. This makes my CPU fan kick in every time. If you can't hear the fan due to other background noise, hold a flimsy piece of paper by the vent in the rear of your PB and see if air is being pushed out by the fan.
One other thing you may want to try is to quit all apps and open Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities) and see if any processes are using a significant amount of your CPU which is causing things to heat up.

How many Casio Commando owners have had freezing and rebooting issues?

I've had nothing but issues,including the above mentioned rebooting and freezing problems. If you have Please leave some kind of remark,I'm tired of paying for a phone that always has issues even after getting it replaced only to find the same issues and it seems to get worse with time. I'm going to take this to a Verizon store so I can look the person in the eye and show them all the threads(including this one) on here with the same issue and have them tell me no other customers are having these problems. I've read at least 10 threads with the same problem.

I've had the Casio G'Zone Commando for a few months - a constant battle. At first we thought there was an issue with the battery as it would keep discharging. Got a new battery. Then it started freezing. Sometimes off/on would re-start, other times had to pull the battery. Then the microphone went bad - VZW convinced it was me so sold me LG Bluetooth. Then speakers went out. Finally, issued replacement G'Zone about 12 days ago.
So we take all the time to re-install apps (mostly travel apps like airlines, etc - nothing strange). Freezing again, but restarts with off/on or battery pull. Yesterday in VZW store to get another smart phone (add'l) and transfer the Casio to husband. IT FROZE! And no one in store could get it re-started. So yet another new Casio coming.
We're pretty done with this phone - the Android version is old. It is kinda slow. I wanted it for the ruggedness, but not if it is unreliable (since I travel a lot). I don't know why a) VZW won't ship new phones more quickly (without US paying the cost) and b) won't let us get a different smart phone. VZW is really our only choice for carrier, and we've been with them since the cell phone era started. It seems like we just don't get near the service we used to.

Heating and battery issues for iPad 3

My iPad gets really hot. The battery takes up to 7-10 hours to charge and it's loosing battery faster than my buddies iPad 2. We used them at the same rate for a test. His was at 56% and mine was at 50%. Sometimes much worse than that. Like I said it gets extremely hot. And the battery...well it *****. I once put it on the charger over night and it was at about 85% I am very disappointed in this iPad. I have come to expect much more from Apple.

Are you just ranting, or do you have a question?
Btw, the issues you describe have been discussed dozens of times already.

Magsafe and Battery issue

Hi there, I'm having a bit of a problem with my MacBook 2009. The exact model number is A1342, if that helps.
I originally bought it used online, and have been having issues since day one. It worked normally when I first plugged it in, then I unplugged it and went somewhere else for a bit. When I went to go plug it back in, the Magsafe cable showed a very dim orange light, and then it turned off completely, and the battery status at the top showed that it wasn't being charged. It also showed a little triangle icon, and said that the battery would need to be serviced soon.
Well, I did some research online, and even check the warranty status. I figured since it was expired, and I had paid so little for it, there was no issue in trying some self repair. I quickly found which cable connected to the main board, unplugged it, waited a few moments, then plugged it back in. Suddenly, the Magsafe would start working again! Until I unplugged it and plugged it back in, that is.
So, after a bit of leaving it sit, I was able to obtain a used, but working battery from a friend whose Macbook (The same model) decided it wanted to stop working. I plugged in the battery without removing the old one, and it worked well, so I plugged in the Magsafe cable, and the little orange light turns on briefly, then shuts off again right away.
Through all of this, I tried with the battery unplugged, and only the Magsafe running the computer, and it works perfectly fine! Green light and all! Plus, the Magsafe seems to work on other computers without an issue.
So, could it just be the battery? Or might it be something else? I've never had a problem with a Macbook before, so this is certainly a bit weird! Thanks in advance for your help!

Your battery looks pretty healthy to me. There is the possibility that the capacity will suddenly decrease though. With the capacity numbers you have, the battery should work fine for about 3 hours. I'm not sure a new battery will help with your issue.
If you disconnect the MagSafe adapter, does the computer shut off immediately? Do you have the battery status displayed in the menu bar? If so, what does it say?
Try resetting the SMC to see if that helps any:

KT6 Delta - Random freezes and LAN Issues

Just built a new PC, installed Win XP, installed all the drivers etc.
I get random freezes - as in the machine will just stop responding totally. I could run for an hour before a freeze, other times its frozen before I've even logged in.
Also the LAN keeps dropping out too. The timing of this is also random, just to make things interesting. I could be downloading a 20MB file, get only 2MB into it, then it just sits there. The only way to get the LAN back up and running is to reboot. Once I've rebooted, its a case of just waiting for it to fail again
The specs are as follows:
KT6 Delta-FIS2R (Gigabit LAN etc.)
AMD 2800XP+
1GB Crucial (2 x 512)
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
80 Maxtor HD
400W PSU
I've got the FSB set to 166 and also set the memory up correctly (333 and 2.5 cl) but to no avail.
I was running with a Soundblaster Audigy card, but took that out and still got the same. I even tried taking out one of the memory modules.
I don't think its a temperature issue as the CPU is currently running at about 47 Degrees and I've got the side off-of the case.
Please - anyone got any ideas???

I have a KT6 Delta LSR and am having probs with the onboard Broadcom 4401 as well.
After Initial boot of machine I have 2-5 minutes to surf the net or whatever. At that time I lose connection. Also if I linger on one page long enough to read, I lose connection. Or shutdown a net connected program, it loses connection.
When I play Tribes - the connection stays till I leave the server - then I have to reboot.
This is driving me nuts. I have disabled the Lan in bios and installed a Netgear 10/100. XP recognizes it but cannot get rid of "Cable not plugged in" message. So I reinstalled the 4401.
I have RR and am behind a Phoebe 4 port router. None of the other computers have a problem with the router, and I have tried changing plug in ports around among the computers.
I have the same version of driver for it as the latest at MSI. Flashed the latest bios lately as well, in desperation.
Any ideas? I sure would appreciate it.

ITunes/iPod connectivity and battery issues

I have been having several issues with my iPod, but I know for a fact that it all comes back to my battery charging/connectivity.
1. Whenever I connect my iPod to charge it, *my computer recognizes it* but *iTunes does not see it* at all.
2. Instead of charging, my iPod does the *exact opposite*; power is being drained from it as quickly as it would normally load.
3. As the battery drains, the large *battery image shows Red* and the *20% message comes up*, but the small battery icon in upper right has the *"Fully Charged" sign* on it.
4. Whenever I plug in my iPod, the *screen flickers*. Nothing any more complicated, but the screen incessantly flickers *only when the device is "charging"*.
5. This also happens with my *wall charger*, so I am sure it is not my computer.
I have reinstalled iTunes as well as installed an older version that previously worked, but unsurprisingly nothing helped. I tried to find out what may have caused it, but I hadn't done anything new or added anything in a few weeks.
I am very tempted to use my warranty to my advantage and either get a new one or my money back.
This is ridiculous.

I am having the exact same problem with my computer sucking the power out of my 5th Gen iPod. I've bought new cables, restored it, tried every USB port on my Mac and my USB expander. It just keeps sucking the power from my iPod. I can charge it on a wall charger or my car charger but I can't leave it hooked up to my computer for longer than 2 or 3 minutes or the battery will be completely dead, even if it was fully charged when I plugged it in. It's just my computer that is doing this.
Is your wall charger an Apple charger or a Belkin charger. Both my wall charger and car charger are Belkin so I wonder if that has any affect on it.
I'm at least glad to know that I'm not the only one. Hopefully this will not be a problem on future models.

Small "freeze" and sound issue when taking a full screenshot

Hello,
This is a strange one, and I've not been using Macs properly for very long, so bear with me
It only happens when I use cmdshift3 to take a full screenshot, the other shortcuts for taking them are fine, I do get a similar issue when using Grab and it, too, only occurs on the full screen capture. What happens is, the sound clip of the camera noise will begin to play, stop, it goes a little distorted then the windows on screen will freeze up, the mouse will still move, and it stays like that for around 5 seconds until the file is saved to the desktop and all goes back to normal again. I'd like to reiterate that it only does this when i do a full screenshot, and the smaller one with the crosshairs and the individual windows is perfectly fine.
I tried searching on google, on the main support section and the forums and nothing has come up that's been helpful. I've had a look in the system logs, and at the time's I take the screenshot, the system log reports the following:
Sep 24 14:04:09 xxxxxxxx-computer kernel[0]: IOAudioStream[0x4db4a00]::clipIfNecessary() - Error: attempting to clip to a position more than one buffer ahead of last clip position (2,728)->(3,7bd).

Sep 24 14:04:33 xxxxxxxx-computer kernel[0]: IOAudioStream[0x4db4a00]::clipIfNecessary() - adjusting clipped position to (5,73a)
I know from that it's referring to my soundcard and there's a memory reference, but that's about as much as I can figure out.
It might not seem a big issue as the other methods are ok, but if it turns out to be something much deeper I'd like to try and fix it now before it becomes a problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Claire

Bingo! EXACT same problem here! It seems to me its a software bug.. ??

Sleep and Battery issues-- Back to Tiger?

(Half of this relates to a thread of mine called "Dead Battery?"-- I tried all the fixes proposed and it's still unclear if my battery is fine or dead.)
I'm having battery and sleep problems that started after installing Leopard and I'm wondering whether I should:
1) Go back to Tiger and see how things are.
2) Format and install Leopard again (I didn't do that the first time)
3) Do something else.
The details are:
My battery shows 0%, the computer recognizes it's connected to the AC adapter, but "Battery is not charging" shows in the drop down. Coconut says the current charge is 0 of a maximum of 4164mAh (Apple System Profiler agrees with those stats). Yesterday it said my capacity was at 94% of it's original, but I pulled the battery last night to reset the PMU and now it can't give me the original capacity. It also listed 111 loadcycles, but now (post PMU reset) it and profiler say 0 Cycles. My battery was working fine the day before and would give me a few hours of use on a full charge.
My computer has also had issues coming back from sleep. The screen will stay sometimes stay dark, but repeatedly holding the power button will suddenly bring it back. I was using it this morning, closed it for five minutes, and when I came back it would make a noise (the mechanical "HD waking up noise"), give me 4 seconds of my screen, and then the screen would go very dark (but not completely out). If I held the power button I could get 4 more seconds. This repeated until I ctrl-apple-power and it restarted just fine. I've never seen my machine do this before.
I have reset the PRAM and the PMU and tried different power adapters.

I use SoundHound, had no such problem.
