How long should my Curve 8530 Smartphone hold a charge?/What's w/the tiny keyboard keys?

Hi,
I love Bberries--ever since I got to use one at work; I don't recall that model but it was about 7 or so years ago. I never had to charge it so much; and the keys were much larger.
I am very disappointed.
Any input greatly appreciated. I am paying myself this time (not a job), so maybe if I went for a more expensive model, it would have larger keys?
As to the constant charging, I don't know if that's an issue of you get what you pay for. I do not want a keyboard that slides out.
Thank you so much!

Hey Jenna510,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
When charging the BlackBerry® smartphone are you using the charger that came with the BlackBerry® smartphone? Or a 3rd party USB wall charger or car charger charger? If you are using an official BlackBerry® smartphone charger, we would suggest contacting your point of sale for warranty and repair options.
Thanks.

How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed.

How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method.

You have limited opportunity to attempt to create a backup of your created files.
That is what the SafeBoot or safemode appears to allow you -- at the moment.
Since the hard disk drive exhibits signs of failure or other major issues, plan
on a replacement in the near future. You may be able to get the computer to
start up in a regular full OS X (not safe mode) but consider its hours are limited.
An externally enclosed hard disk drive (with own power supply, not relying on
Mac ports to run it) is a good basic means of which to use a disk utility to make
a copy or a Clone of the current OS X. This may help retrieve an archive that
could be used along with a Time Machine backup, to restore your Mac once you
get a new hard drive installed inside.
Good luck & happy computing!

How long should my ipod last on a full charge

How long should by Apple Ipod last on a full charge. Only using it for music.

It depends on your ipod touch brightness, active apps, ect.
averagly is should go around for about 2and a half hours before it turns red.

How long should your iPad stay at a full charge

How long should my ipad2 stay full charge?

The amount of time left on the battery depends on what you are doing with the iPad. Apple provides estimates based on certain assumptions:
Battery Life6
Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
Up to 9 hours of surfing the web using cellular data network
Charging via power adapter or USB to computer system
Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
Up to 9 hours of surfing the web using cellular data network
Charging via power adapter or USB to computer system
Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
Up to 9 hours of surfing the web using cellular data network
Charging via power adapter or USB to computer system
It's impossible to make a judgment on your situation because there are too many variables involved. If you believe you are not getting the battery life you should, then take it back to see about a replacement.

How long should I get from a full battery charge?

Apple clima sthat MacBook Pro's get five hours worth of a charge. Although on the better battery life and fully charge I only get 2 hours and ten minutes worth. Do I have a defective battery or what's going on. Please help!

you are probably using it more then apple was during the test...
Much like a car with mileage even though they say city MPG is 20, in the fine print it shows that they get between 8 and 38 MPG - hence the idea that it's USAGE DEPENDENT
This is the same for your computer - it is usage dependent. If you can't get near 4 hours running Universal, smaller Apps with no bluetooth on, and the screen brightness set at 1-4, then I'd say there's a problem
When I have the screen brightness on max, anything I do is about 2.5 hours. When I set it down low, immediately I get an additional hour or two.
Of course to preserve battery life I'm limited to apps like Safari, iTunes, iPhoto, iChat/Adium, and iWork, for the most part. Bigger apps or Rosetta apps will take up more power. For instance I wouldn't dare use Final Cut with out the charger attached.
Hope this helps. If you're getting dismal life try power cycling your battery, then run smaller apps with low screen brightness

Ripping DVD's - How long should it take?

How long should it take to rip a whole DVD? PQDVD seems the easiest, but it rips at 1x speed (or close to it). Are there programs out there that do it faster? Are there programs that are cheaper? $35 is a lot of money.

I use DVD Decryptor (free) to rip the VCD files from the DVD.
I then use Videora for iPod to encode them to MP4.
Time for DVD Decrypt is about 15 minutes for a 2 hour movie.
Time for Videora is about an hour and a half for a 2 hour movie (give or take a half hour).
DVD Decryptor needs to be set to Not split the files based on size, and there is another tab that asks if you want to split the VCD files at all. Both set to none, find in the options screen.
Good luck!

How long should ipad charge from dead state

How long should it take an ipad 2 to charge from a fully discharged state?

Using the wall charger, about 4 hours.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

How long should I leave the iPod to charge before using/activation

How long should I leave my new IPod to charge before I activate/use it?
Help!!!

Doesn't matter

Hardware test extended -- how long should it take?

Running an AHT on my iMac 21.5 Late 2009 (HD is about 300GB w/ 12GB RAM), and initial test was quick and no issues found. Decided to then do extended test (just to be safe & curious to see what difference there was), but 2hrs in it was still showing it had a long way to go before finishing.
Questions:
Would extended AHT tests reveal anything serious the basic AHT does not test?
How long should an extended AHT take? iMac seemed very hot at the time of the testing
I understand Apple Stores will do free 15min test; is the AHT basically same test store personnel would run?Without getting into detail (too convoluted to describe here as no real pattern to my issues w/ Imac), I basically want peace-of-mind that issues I'm having from difficulty ejecting volumes (system says disk is in use when doesn't appear to me it is) to Apple apps (iTunes, Safari, etc.) taking very long to open ever since I installed Mountain Lion. I'm going through separate tracks to determine if issues are software-related (not hardware) but while I'm at it, I'd also like to safely rule out HW problem(s).
Thanks in advance.

1. The extended test looks for problems slowly, so it may find problems that a basic test can't find.
2. The extended test, depending on your memory, takes an hour or more, and it will increase if you have more memory. It's normal that you feel your computer hot during test, so don't worry.
3. Apple Hardware Test is different than that test. The test that Apple can do is more exact and it might detect problems you can't find in Apple Hardware Test. For example, problems with the graphic card or similar (Apple Hardware Test doesn't detect some problems)

How long should the Mac Book pro hold its charge???

How long should the Mac Book pro hold a battery charge??

For a single use or how long will the battery last until it needs to be replaced? For single use, it depends on what you are doing when using you mac. I find that when using mine I get about 6-6 1/2 hours just using it to browse the internet before I need to recharge it. If it is one of the newer Macbook Pros that claim to have a 7 hour battery life, It can last up to 5 years. See this article on notebook batteries to get the most out of your battery: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html. Hope this helps

How long should it take for the iOS 5 iPhone software to update?

How long should it take for the iOS 5 iPhone software to update? Mine is taking a ridiculous amount of time, to the point where I need to stop it as i need to go out and need my phone !

Depends on how strong your wifi connection is.
you can try a reset hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.

HT4623 Approximately how long should it take to update the iOS 7.0.2.....? So far it has taken over 8 hours and the bar is still not half way.

Approximately how long should it take to update the iOS 7.0.2....? So far it has been over 8 hours and the bar is not even half way....

Something have gone wrong somewhere.
Try and reset your iPad.

VACUUM/Consistency Check - How long should it take?

Upon opening Aperture (2.1.4) I got a dialogue saying I should perform a consistency check. I started the consistency check "Running VACUUM on database" 12 hours ago. The progress bar is only three quarters finished. It hasn't changed in 3 hours. I'm mindful of posts saying not to interrupt this process. How long should I have to wait?

I tried to VACUUM my library twice. Each time aperture froze my entire machine.
I couldn't force quit anything, switching apps only froze the app I went to. the power button didn't trigger the dialog so I was forced to force the computer off. Holding the power switch for 5 or so seconds. Now the machine will not pass the boot screen, spinning below the apple. I re-installed snow leopard and tried again, thinking it was something else.
It seems that this is a bug with aperture and should be looked into by apple.
I was running 10.6.2 now I have to re-install again. I dont know any other option.
I tried tech tool pro and diskwarrior rebuilding the directory, no difference.
I think I will just have to make a new library and take the orignal files and re-import them all back into aperture.

How long should Loading Installation Information take with a formatted Drive?

The OS was corrupted when installed over an incompatible 10.6 version of Centrify. It should have been uninstalled prior to installing Lion, so I was hoping to do a fresh install without restoring anything related to older applications to sort out network hang conditions. Restoring from Time Machine does not appear to offer selective restore in terms of Apps and Users.
I am now waiting for more than hour at a window over the prompt "To set up the installation of Mac OS X 10.7, click Continue" that says:
To download and restore Mac OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple. This just has a throbber spinning in front of the message
Loading Installation Information... " I have about 16mbit/sec Internet connectivity, how long should this phase of the reinstall operation take?
When I first installed Lion, a bootable image of the initial version of Lion was made that was able to restore Lion to an erased drive in about 28 minutes. It seems that image has been disabled by changes the MacBook boot flash. Is there a way to be better prepared, and how long should this process take starting with an erased drive?

Sorry to hear that saga. This time download another Lion installer from MAS by going to purchases and holding the option key. When downloaded it will appear in /Applications. Save it off to several different places on your disk and off.
Also, consider keeping bootable clones with SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
That way if you have a problem, just boot up from the clone and keep on working until you're ready to fix.
