How is your battery life? (on new ZEN on

Well, after the firmware update I thought I'd give it a try and see how long it would last.Last time I did this I got 22 hours, with the first update, the sd card one. This time it ran for 28 hours! With volume 5/25, when I did my last test with 22 hours, I only had it at 5/25 volume.No EQ, no smart?volume, no bass boost etc...And most of my music is 96 kps wma or 28 kps mp3 with a few 92 kps mp3s I've downloaded recently. Then while I'm doing?the test, I'm looking at the Zen page to see how they got battery life(sometimes they say half volume at 28 kps mp3 etc) and I noticed they upped it to 30 hours life instead of 25!Now I don't feel so special. :P?So, I just want to know how much juice you get out of your ZEN?And say if you use eq, volume level, bass boost, kps, etc

Hi guys, you will not keep your player on all day long, so you will not get those?playback durations in normal daily use... i tried all the f/w and now i?use my zen?with the .03.04 f/w and it gives me about 4-5 hours (EQ on, Bass Boost and Smart Volume off and i browse the player much)... yesterday, after an approximately 3 days of daily use (4-5 hrs/day) it got down to the final bar... This is better?than the new f/w?s?for me because when I turn it off with the new f/w s it drains quickly because of the hot standby mode... if you have any solutions for this issue (except leaving it turned on ) i will update my f/w too... coz i can not use my SD card as well as i want to especially while watching video...

  • 3GS Upgraded to OS 3.1.2, How is your battery life now?

    I upgraded to 3.1 only to find my battery life halved to around 4-6 hrs depending on use.
    I then upgraded to 3.1.2 hoping this would be fixed, but no luck.
    I use this for work but it wont even last 1 8hr business day without a charge.... not impressed!
    How is your battery life since upgrading to 3.1.2?
    Is Apple working on fixing this some time soon, or do I start looking for a new "non-iPhone" phone?

    My battery life has been just fine with all OS versions; no change with 3.1.2

    Many of us have no problems with battery life. So I'm not sure there's anything general for Apple to fix -- but your iPhone may need attention. Why not take it to to a Genius Bar?

  • Any tips on how to improve battery life on new macbook pro?

    Any tips on how to improve battery life on new macbook pro?

    It all depends on how much you plan to run on battery power. If you don't use it often, set yourself a reminder to let it run unplugged about every couple of weeks to aboout a 40% charge and then plug it up and let it charge back to 100%. If you'r'e a frequent battery user (like me) don't let your MBP discharge to the point where you're running on reserve power - down to about 30 minutes remaining and then charge it back in.
    I have over 130 cycles on my computer and I've just had it since March. Even though my battery health was 102.2% when I got my MBP, it's still at 98.8% health and I'm still getting 7+ hours out of my battery. To get the longest use when under battery, keep your activities to low-CPU intensive apps (browser, email client, word processor, etc.) - Internet surfing alone, and not watching a lot of online videos, will give you mor ebang for the buck. You can also check your battery health in 'real time' by using "Battery Health" - free from the App Store and you can make sure that you're running on integrated graphics, which uses less power, by downloading Cody Krieger's exceptional gfxCardStatus.
    Keep your screen brightness down to about four ticks and your keyboard backlighting to one tick - should work fine.
    Good battery health to you,

  • Battery life on new Zen 1

    So, this is my second unit and I'm lucky if I get 2 hours battery of just audio playback out of this thing... I set the volume to 8 which I figured is a good compromise but no dice. Anyone have any suggestions This a problem Creative knows of or am I doing something wrong Also, my Zune would completely turn the screen off when it wasn't plugged in but the Zen stays somewhat lit all the time, that something I can change or is that normal

    The battery life problems are a result of the player going into standby mode rather than switching off. I manage to get around 7.5hours over a 4 day period, using the player for 2hrs a day. This is playing from big playlists so very few button pressses.

  • How is your battery life with everythingoff but 3g? (from reccomended list)

    ?

    Greetings,
    What I have found is that a new phone, iPhone, or otherwise, the trick is to calibrate the meter. If it is not right, you could show dead, and the system will shut the phone off, even if you still had a good charge on it.
    For me, the best way I have found it to turn the phone completely off - not just on hold, or asleep, charge it overnight, then use it as much as you can, until the phone shuts off by itself. Recharge it one more time, completely off, and drain it all the way.
    After the next recharge, you should have your meter calibrated to match the battery. I do this every other month, to keep in calibrated. I used to do it once a month, but the new batteries are so much better, it hasn't been necessary.
    Any device that is controlled by a battery monitor, and they nearly all are, will benefit from this procedure.
    My 3G, the Wife's 3Gs, and my Nieces iPhone 4, that I am borrowing while she is overseas, has all benefited by doing this. It's simple, and you have to sleep anyway, so why not?
    We are getting the run time that Apple has advertised, and you can ask for no more than that.
    For people that are not getting the proper run time, when you calculate for the various amounts of current that different services, and functions use, then I would say there is a bad app, a runaway service, etc. Yes, you could have a defective battery, or even a phone, however unlikely that may be. Sometimes one needs to do a little detective work, and use a little common sense to solve a problem.
    Cheers,
    M.

  • How to preserve battery life ~ used to last all day, now it runs out by lunchtime

    How to preserve battery life ~ used to last all day, now it runs out by lunchtime

    I would advise updating to iOS 7. It might improve your battery and the bugs are worked out by now.
    If not wanting to update because of the new look, here are some tips:
    -Turn off bluetooth when not needed.
    -Connect to wifi and turn off cellular data when possible.
    -When not around wifi, turn wifi off.
    -Keep your screen at around 50% brightness.
    -Disbale certain apps or features in Settings<Privacy<Location Services if they are not necessary.
    -Close out of apps in the multitasking bar.
    -Enable airplane mode when you plan on not using your phone for a while.
    Hopefully these tips help you. If your battery does eventually get too bad, you can get it changed out by apple. If youve had your device for under a year, you can take it into an Apple store and theyll give you a new phone in return. Have a good night and good luck!

  • How to save battery life on iPod touch 5g?

    Give me tips on how to save battery life on iPod touch 5g.It dies out very quickly.   

    Turn down the screen brightness
    Look into notifications. it defaults to everything being on and you can turn off most if not all of them.
    Check your e-mail. If it's on push that means it's reaching out for new mails every so often, turning it to fetch means that it only goes to get mail when you tell it to.
    Look at some of your apps. Some of them may be doing things in the background that you don't realize and you can tweak those to not run when you don't need them to run.

  • How to maximize battery life?

    I was reading lots of posts on the internet that said that in order to maximize your battery life, when you are using your notebook at home you should remove the battery completly and use only the AC Power. Now ... I have only one question: what should I do? What's the best tactic?

    You can find different opinion about it but, in my opinion, if you have new notebook model you must not remove the battery at all. Simply leave it in the notebook.
    I do the same with my Satellite P200.
    When I compare the running time a year ago and today you can believe me there is almost no difference. Few minutes maybe but it depends on notebook usage.

    To many different suggestions as to battery life of the MacPro. Is there one way to keep your battery life, do I keep it plugged in to AC or do I not?

    To be honest, I would only plug it in when necessary. On my older 2009 MBP, I plug it in at night and it lasts me a solid 5-6 hours, if it needs to be plugged in during the day, I usually do it with about 2-3 hours left.

  • How long of battery life can you actually get on your U410/U300?

    Hi --
    I got my U410 Ultrabook today and thus far have been extremely happy.  The internet isn't spotty, the touchpad and keyboard work great, and it looks beautiful.  The only concern I have is the battery life.  Lenovo advertises 8 hours but I expected five or six realistcally.  
    I started mine up right off the bat and it was at around 80%.  I did some hardcore downloading and was using it constantly and it died in maybe 2.5 hours (to be generous).  I'm charging it right now and am hoping to get a better result off a full battery.
    What's everyone else's actual batery life experience?  What are you usually averaging from a full battery?  I figure if I turn down the brightness a lot and don't download a lot I can probably max out the performance.
    Honestly I'd be happy with five hours on a full charge.

    I was the one who reported 5.5 hours of battery.
    On the first day, when the battery was dying pretty quickly, I went into Resource Monitor (quickest way to get there is to start Task Manager, go to the Performance tab, and click Resource Monitor at the bottom of that window.)
    You can sort that list by the CPU column.
    Anyway, I saw Quick Update eating up a large amount of CPU time.... like 25% or more. Quick Update is bloatware, designed to update email and social media in the background. Do people still even use local email clients??? ;-)
    After uninstalling Lenovo Quick Update my CPU usage dropped dramatically and battery life went up 2x.
    Thanks, battery life has definitely improved after a week now and with brightness settings adjusted and uninstalling Quick Update it's even better.
