Can anyone help with my battery issues

This past month my battery has been draining really fast, it could be sitting at 53%, then after a couple of minutes could be at 40%. It used to last all day easily, and I'm not doing anything differently. I have tried discharging and recharging fully a few times, and thought maybe installing ios 7 might help, but it hasn't
My wife also has been having the same problem recently as well.
Can anyone help me?
Regards

Ok, I have restored my phone as a new phone and signed into iCloud for contacts and mail, I have set up my email accounts and downloaded some of my apps, but the battery life is still bad, does this mean my battery is done?
The phone is 10 months old.

Help with a battery issue-

Last night the battery on my IPhone was about ¾ full, when I woke this morning it was basically dead.
I did a reset, this morning, but does anyone know why that could have happened…

Variety of reasons. Could be you have Push mail (Yahoo) setup and there have been numerous issues with Yahoo servers getting stuck in a communication loop thus causing constant processing on your phone thus killing the battery.
Another issue could just be you had little to no signal. With all cell phones, the are made to crank up power to finding a signal when one is low or not there. If you ever took a phone on a plane and left it on, you would find it hot and battery drained by the time you land as it will constantly being pushing power usage up to find a signal.
Recharge it, and do a reboot (see below). See if it happens again.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

Help with new installation issues

I just installed CS5 extended, student and teacher edition. It says it's 12.1, which I understand is the same as 12.0.4. Installation is on Win 7 SP1 on a Samsung RC710.
Both 32 and 64 bit versions installed.
Activation seemed OK.
Editing functions seem to work fine, but...
There are several oddities:
System Info... makes it fall over with Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 has stopped working
Phototools 2.5 (my 'freebie') does the same thing
Both the above happen in 32 and 64 bit, with or without OpenGL enabled.
Any ideas?

It would be a good idea to look in the Windows system event log (click Start then type in event log) in the Application log to get the specific information about what module failed. That can often point the finger at what to do next.
Many times a display driver update is a good idea, though display driver problems usually hinge on the OpenGL setting. With a laptop one doesn't have quite the flexibility to download display drivers as one usually has to go through the laptop manufacturer to get new drivers.

Background image seems to be applied twice Can someone help with this CSS issue....

Can someone help with this CSS issue....
http://66.162.81.144/cms400min/default.aspx
If you view the main page you will see that our background is
2 shades of
orange.. if you look at the line that divides those colors to
the right and
left you wil notice that the line is higher
if you notice that it seems that there is another background
on top of the
first one..its the only thing i can think of..
the only place where the image is being referenced is in this
CSS style
html, body
min-height:100%;
margin-bottom:1px;
text-align:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
background-color:#F74902;
background-position:center;
background-attachment:fixed;
Is there something wrong with the above CSS that could or
would cause this?
is it because im applying the image to both the HTML and
BODY?
ASP, SQL2005, DW8 VBScript, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio
2008

You've attached the background to both the html and the body.
I would do this:
html, body {
min-height:100%;
margin-bottom:1px;
body{
text-align:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
background-color:#F74902;
background-position:center;
background-attachment:fixed;
Having said that the image doesn't look any higher on the
right than the
left to me in Firefox. Is it just an optical illusion?

TouchSmart tx2-1370us HUGE issues with new battery PLEASE HELP I AM DESPERATE!!!!!

I purchased a new battery for my laptop. I got a LHP-41XT which is supposed to last longer... the following issues I initially thought were because I got a defective battery but I replaced it for another one and they are still happening:
Battery is fully charged. When power cord is disconnected after a random amount of time the computer just dies while the charge does not even get down to 80%. The computer does not even go into the shut down process, it just completely dies.
When trying to turn on the computer with battery it starts to boot up and after a few seconds it completely shuts off. After that no matter how many times I press the bottom to turn it on it just wont even try to turn on. I have to turn it on with the cord.
To try to remediate the problem I have tried and failed the following:
- Get a new battery of the same model in case the problem was the battery
- Calibrate the battery using every single option there is (changing power profile to "Calibrate," letting the computer discharge completly without using it, letting the computer discharge completly using it, letting the computer discharge completly without using it in while in safe mode) but the computer just keeps on dying.
- Change all the power settings so the computer does not hibernate, go into shut down, or does anything when the power levels go down.
- Erase completely the battery drives so the computer does not try to detect the battery charge.
- Upgraded the computer bios to the latest version
- Replaced BIOS battery
Please someone help me I do not know what else to do and I don't want to keep wasting money to try stuff that does not work...

No I haven't and HP seems not to care about the problem so guess what. No more HP's for me anymore....

Z10 will not charge & with new Battery will not turn on

I have have had my Z10 about a month now, I am gernerally happy with it as a work phone which is similar to my private Iphone5. Unfortunately the Battry life has been reducing on a weekly basis to around 4 hrs between charges. Now it is dead and will not wake up, so I bought a new Battery, now it blinks once the three times but will not turn on.
Any ideas ? The OS is the latest on the Blackberry site, but as I can turn the phone on I can't be more specific.

Hello,
From your description, if your charger is "known good" (e.g., it can charge other devices), then one can only deduce that something (hardware) inside the BB related to passing power from the charger to the battery has broken. Or that something passing power from the battery to the device has broken.
Regardless, if your charger is 100% fine, then it sounds like a hardware problem for which no amount of OS/software level fixes nor internet-distance diagnostics can be of much value.
I recommend you seek formal support via your official warranty channel. Normally, that starts with your original place of purchase or an authorized service center -- it varies by region.
Good luck!

Macbook shutting down with new battery with 15 minutes remaining (consistent)

Just installed a supposed new battery for the White Macbook 4,1 model, from an Amazon seller. The battery looks authentic, fits well, accepts and fully charges, but it is a little more yellow in color than the rest of the casing. That's all I can find wrong with it.
The problem I am having is that the macbook will shutdown consistently with ~15 minutes left on the charge (under 10%). I get no low battery warning. I have tried numerous SMC and PRAM resets with no luck. Battery temperature and computer temperature appear to be fine so the unit is not overheating. The only indication I can assume is suspicious is that the battery will draw over 2 amps at times as that magic time remaining approaches. Battery cycle count is 3 and remaining capacity is over 5300 mAh.
Here is the pertinent info from System Profiler:
Battery Information:
Model Information:
Manufacturer:          DP
Device Name:          ASMB0?6
Pack Lot Code:          2
PCB Lot Code:          0
Firmware Version:          110
Hardware Revision:          500
Cell Revision:          102
Charge Information:
Charge Remaining (mAh):          631
Fully Charged:          No
Charging:          No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          5336
Health Information:
Cycle Count:          3
Condition:          Normal
Battery Installed:          Yes
Amperage (mA):          -836
Voltage (mV):          10900
I'm running Lion 10.7.2 with 4 gigs of RAM installed. I've read the Firmware version of this battery (110) needs updating but I can't find an updater that will run in Lion. I also don't understand what ASMB0?6 means in the device name (what's up with the ?). Again, the battery appears to be a legit Apple product and brand new by the cycle count (3).
Can someone help me resolve this issue?

HI kostby,
I've been trying to calibrate the battery but can't do the 5-hour sleep procedure since the computer doesn't go to sleep. Although I have noticed that the last time the shutdown occurred, the battery indicator light was one and blinking. So the battery thinks it is drained but the computer does not (hence 15 minutes remaining and no low battery warning). So I took the battery out of the computer last night with blinking indicator light and left it alone overnight. I reinstalled the battery this morning and am charging it now. Hopefully it calibrated.
If not, I am going to ask for a replacement from the Amazon.com seller, since I just bought it "new".
Thanks for your insights.

Freezes on startup screen with new Battery

laptop works fine with old Battery just battery will no longer hold a charge installed a new Battery freezes on startup screen ran battery test ok got a 2nd new Battery using the numbers off the old one same thing followed hp noteboook pcs testing and calibrating the battery everytime the first part says battery ok the 2nd part says na. reinstall old battery laptop works fine

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your Compaq-Presario and having an issue with the New battery. Here is a link to test and calibrate the battery.
Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.
If that does not help try the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery is basically the driver that communicates between the computer and the battery. There is a chance that it is corrupted. It is reading the battery level wrong, so the computer thinks the battery level is higher then what is actually is, so when it runs out of juice it shuts down.
Step 1. Go to Device Manager
Step 2. Select Batteries
Step 3. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
Step 4. Click Uninstall
Step 5. At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
Step 6. Shutdown the computer
Step 7: Remove the battery for minute and then put it back in
When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver.
Step 8. Go to Device Manager
Step 9. Select Batteries
Step 10. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
Step 11. Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"
Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Need help with G450 battery: Stuck at 0%, claims 9x% and not charging

Okay, there have been a couple similar posts but they don't provide a definitive answer so I am going to ask again.
A few days ago, I put my computer in sleep mode with a low battery. When I woke it up, it froze and I had to force shutdown. Since then, whenever I unplug the computer, it loses power instantly, indicating that the battery is not powering it. However, my system can still tell when the battery is inside or not. When it is inside, it tells me I have "97% available (plugged in, not charging)", where the 97% slowly decreases over time (at first I had 99%).
What is the problem here? How do I solve it? The "plugged in not charging" issue seems to be fairly common, but the fact that my battery is drained and the way that I got to this point seem somewhat exceptional. If it comes down to buying a new battery, that is not a problem - I could use the extra battery life, and they're pretty cheap.
SPECS: I am using Windows 7 on a Lenovo G450 and do not appear to have Lenovo Power Management software. My AC adapter appears to work just fine.
Solved!

hi serpinium,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Based from your findings, I suspect a faulty battery.
-- it's possible that the battery circuit inside is not working to unload the charge, or one of the battery already reached its life span.
-- there's also a chip inside that handles how the battery gets charges and checks the charge level of each battery (both are controlled by a firmware) -- ti's also possible that this chip is malfunctioning.
Batteries degrade overtime due to heat and daily use. If you had this battery for more than a year then perhaps it's time to get a replacement battery.

Can any one help with new iOS 7.1 update?

Hello,
I have recently downloaded the iOS 7.1 update and it has being causing problems with the iPhone 4s. The problems are as follows;
No Wi-Fi connection all, and in full range of a connection (If and when I connect its for 10 seconds and gone again)
Battery Life depleting quickly
iPhone freezes constantly
iPhone getting extremely hot when not in use.
Is there anything that I can do that can help with this or will I have to wait for the next iOS update?

If I restore as new without the backup & everything seems to be fine, I assume I would then have to restore it from my latest backup in iTunes in order to get all (or at least most) of my data back.
From what I have read, it looks like at least the music I have on my iPhone 4S that I put there from a CD I own would not be in my backup. That is not a major problem, since it is only 1 CD.
It also seems like the iTunes backup is more complete than the iCloud backup (I do have both).
So, I should probably be restoring from that backup.
Is there anything else that is not backed up in an iTunes backup that I should consider before I do that?
When I backup in iTunes (or even in iCloud), some items not backed up?
Wouldn't I then have to re-install those items that are not in my backups?
I have a Medical app from my local ambulance operator where I have taken a ton of time to input all of my medical information going back numerous years. I just got tired of some medical person constantly asking me for information one never really makes a point of remembering. Now, I have all of that information in my iPhone 4S.
There is no way I would want to reinstall that app & re-input all of that information again.
I also put a lot of "lists" in the Notes area on my iPhone 4S.
I understand that is also something that is not backed up.
These are just 2 examples.
I also have other items that I am under the impression also are not backed up.
Losing any of that information would be a huge burden to recover.
I am willing to take a chance with some items that are not backed up to either iTunes nor iCloud.
But, knowlingly doing something that may lose that information is not something I am willing to do.
OR, am I just not understanding what is and is not backed up in iTunes or iCloud & what I could potentially lose?

Seeking Help with Album Image Issues in iPod Classic

Hi folks -
I have a new 160 iPod Classic and have two album image-related issues I'd appreciate some help with.
In the case of several albums where I'd associated my own art with them in iTunes, the formatting appeared off in my iPod due to the vertical/horizontal proportions. So I corrected the images, replaced the images via iTunes, and re-synced. All of the old images were replaced - except for two. Is there any way to get my iPod to recognize the change to these two images, as it did for all the others?
Secondly, my "The Allman Brothers Band Live at Fillmore East" album was appearing twice in both the Cover Flow and Album list. That was strange, except that after the latest sync it now appears six times! It's only in one place in iTunes, and not erroneously set as a compilation or anything. This is the only album displaying this behavior...
Thanks for any suggestions or advice!
Frank
