How to do the battery check

hello
i have problems to do the battery check with the Elitebool 2540p. it says that the battery need to be collocated properly and connect the computer to the AC, which is done.
i do not know what is happening, and need to calibrate the battery, since in a week the performarce decreased abruptly, although with no suspicious behaviour.
thank you

Hi,
See the link below regarding manual callibration of your notebook battery if running Vista or Windows 7.
Callibrating The Battery.
You could also download and run the stand-alone battery test utility available on the page below and see if this reports any problems with your battery.

  • How to increase the battery life of your N series ...

    What I am about to post here is valid for any 3G phone or device regardless of model but it is particularly focused towards the N series devices and their power hogging features.
    Your battery life is dependant on many many things. How often you take calls on the device, the condition of your battery, the features you use on the device and so on and on. Therefore it is impossible to say that by following the information in this post you will get x amount of days battery life, but it will get you more time out of the battery than you otherwise would have got.
    So with that out the way, if your looking to increase your battery life then follow these tips and your battery should start looking a lot healthier.
    First of all lets start with THE big one. The one that is going to save you the most juice. Switching 3G off.
    Yep, you heard me right. Just by switching the 3G capability of your phone off you will add hours and hours to your battery life. How is this so? Allow me to explain...
    Due to the rather poor delivery of 3G in the UK by the network operators, it is rare for any 3G phone to maintain a constant 3G signal. Instead you will find that the phone constantly flips between 3G and GSM mode (Keep an eye on your signal one day). Even those of you on Vodafone who probably have the best 3G network coverage will find this is the case.
    Unfortunately, this constant flipping between the two modes sucks power from the battery like a vampire as it alters its reception state for the different modes and the constant flipping is..well...causing it do this constantly! It can sometimes even make your phone unavailable for calls for very brief periods as it trips from GSM to 3G and vice versa.
    If you need to use 3G for video calls or whatever then I'm afraid your just going to have to live with this but if you don't (And lets face it few of us do) then you can switch 3G off and increase your battery life considerably.
    To do this, go into the "Settings" application (Found in the menu somewhere, by default Nokia normally stick it in "Tools"), and then to the "Phone" tab. In there you will see an option that says "Network mode" and you have a choice of "GSM" or "Dual Mode" (I.e. UMTS and GSM). Set it to GSM and your phone will restart. Once it restarts it will be working in GSM with GPRS speeds only but really for most purposes this is fine.
    You have now just extended your battery capability considerably. You can further extend it by going to the "Connection" tab, going into "Packet data" and changing it to "When needed" so it is not constantly checking for a data connection.
    The second big change you can make is to turn your phones wifi scanning capability off. The last time I looked not all Nokia's phones that have wifi capability can have their wifi cards switched off entirely but if you can, turn it off except for when you need to use it. Wifi is a power hog.
    The next big change you can make is to lower the screen brightness settings on your phone. The less bright your screen is the less power is being used to light it up. Nokia by default leave the screen brightness at something like 50%. Lowering this a bit more will conserve more juice. Before you do this though please consider the fact that lowering the brightness setting will have a big impact on your ability to see the screen clearly in sunny conditions although you will be fine in the dark as you can't lower the brightness that far.
    To lower the brightness, go to the settings tool in your phone and into the display option (Hidden in a subcategory called "Personalisation" on the N95). It won't hurt to set the power saving time out to 1 minute and the backlight time out to 10 seconds while your here (Although these are the Nokia default so they should already be set to this).
    Finally in regards to the screen, although they may look pretty, animated screensavers use more battery power than the standard blank screen with time and date so avoid them if you can.
    It also helps to keep Bluetooth switched off until you need it although the power savings are minimal in comparison to the other changes but every little milliamp counts!
    Using the above methods I generally get about 3 to 4 days with about 3 hours talktime on my N95 without using Bluetooth, GPS or anything like that (I might be able to get more but so far I have not paid attention to the battery state before I put it on charge). If I am on a long train journey I can get about 4 hours worth of full screen video and about 2 hours talktime over the period of about 24 hours before it needs a recharge. As I said at the start of the post your mileage will vary greatly depending on how you use your device.
    Hope this helps.

    the n95 battery is atrocious
    dont change the post content as the title is 'How to increase the battery life of your N series device'
    your talking about nokia phones specifically
    the networks are not to blame
    they do not make the handsets : Nokia do !!!!!!!!!!
    I'm going to choose my words carefully here...
    I would never deny the battery on the N95 is not really up to the job of powering the N95 with its power hungry features. To put the same battery into a phone that has WiFi, GPS and a large 320x240 screen, the same one that goes into the E65 which has comparatively nothing compared to it is a bit pants.
    However at no point was I criticising them for the band hopping problem. I labelled the post as how to increase the battery life of your N series device because this is a board for the N series devices. It was a simple choice of wording and not intended to be cutting in any way and I did make a remark that the details would be true of any 3G device at the top of the post.
    What I was trying to point out in my second post is that the constant band hopping the phone is being forced to do that is draining its battery so much more quicker than it would if it had a constant signal of one kind or another isn't quite Nokia's fault.
    They build it to conform to a laid out specification for 3G. However if the network operators cannot be bothered to roll out their 3G infrastructure adequately enough that the phone can find and remain locked onto a 3G signal that is usable then what are Nokia to do other than offer you the capability to turn 3G off until you need it (Although note to Nokia: That **bleep** reboot the phone does when you do this is entirely unneeded and you know it).
    Blaming Nokia for this would be like blaming the manufacturer of your radio for failing to pick up radio because the radio station does not have any transmitters within range of your radio's receiver.
    Finally...this band hopping is exhibited by all 3G phones built by Samsung, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, etc, from their most budget 3G model to their priciest piece and is the reason that all phones with 3G capabilities have batteries that do not last for any respectable length of time because these phones are also having to band hop between 3G and GSM.
    Finally the proof is in the pudding. Turn 3G off for a few days. See your battery improve. Then (Although admittedly this will be harder to do...mcuh harder) find an area where you get a fairly decent 3G signal constantly. Again, see your battery improve. Try it with a different 3G phone...different manufacturer even. The same will be true.
    So I stand by my comment, the network operators and their woeful 3G rollout are the villains costing you a fair chunk of your battery and Nokia cannot be expected to mitigate this....but a better battery would be nice all the same...

  • How long would the battery last if you were usinng it for...

    How long would the battery last if you were usinng it for wireless msn around the house..
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    I never get less than 3 1/2 hours and generally get a bit over 4 hours on a fully charged battery. Before unplugging I make sure BlueTooth and sound is off, the backlight is set as low as I can stand it, I have no disc in the drive, and all the applications and files I intend to use are running and loaded. The three biggest juice eaters are the display's backlight, the hard drive and optical drive so I minimize the use of all three while unplugged.
    Are Mac notebooks tough? A couple quick stories: I dropped my G3 iBook off my desk and it hit the concrete floor on its corner breaking off a large piece of plastic. I fashioned a fiberglass bandage and used the computer for 3 months before finding a functional used shell. A customer came in with a horrifically bent PowerBook last summer - it fell out of his motorcycle sidebag while he was driving (35 MPH) and was run over by at least 1 car. It booted up and the display while bent by the mangled case still worked. I actually used Migration Assistent to move his stuff to the new computer. A student brought me his MacBook which he'd dropped down half a flight of stairs at the college. It had been in a lightly padded sleeve. It looked banged up - there were some fractures to the bottom case and the hinge squealed terribly as I opened it. But the computer woke up and it checked out okay. AppleCare basically replaced everything but the innards - the guy's home insurance covered all but the deductible which was a good thing - that is an expensive repair! Would the typical PC survive these accidents? Well, I know from experience the cheap plastic Dell and HP models wouldn't.

  • How to print the Actual Check on 1st Page if line items are more for F110_p

    Hi,
    How to print the Actual Check on 1st page if the line items are more in F110_PRENUM_CHCK script. The standard script is printing at the last page of line items.
    I tried using
    IF &PAGE& EQ '1 '
    /E 545 --> text element
    ENDIF
    but it is of no use.
    Please let me know if anyone knows. Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Krishna,
    I guess, there is no other possible way to acheive this without modifying the standard driver program. Why because? in you driver program you check window will be called only on the last page... but before you change your driver program give a try like shown below....
    Not sure, but give a try... In the first page you will be printing some void check try to replace the code inside the text element of void check with original check and make all the check void... note: in this text element, be sure you write two conditions...
    IF &PAGE& = 1.
    **PRint all check values..
    ELSE.
    ***Print void values
    ENDIF.
    Close the thread if your question is answered.

  • HT4623 Hi!My iPAD lost its charge fast !!I've got an iPAD capacity 57,1GB and it has available 55,1GB ,version 7.0.4 .I'd like to know how long does the battery last when it is 100 % charged.

    Hi!I've just installed the iOS 7.0.4 operating system and the battery lost its charge at an incredibly speed.I'd like to know how long does the battery last if everything is right when it has 100% charge.Thanks!

    I`m `propping` up this thread to to the top of the forums again as it`s been three months and not a single community member or Apple support personnel have replied, which I find discouraging.
    I`ve tried everything - both the iOS device(s) and Apple TV have been upgraded (albeit reluctantly) to the latest versions, since iOS 7 looks like crap compared to iOS 6. Both use the same WiFi network. Bluetooth is set to `off`, as per the online tutorials on the Apple Support page.
    I also tried shutting all of them down, including the router, waiting 30 seconds and turning the router, then the Apple TV then the iOS device on sequentially with 30 seconds in between each, again as per this discussion forum, and still nothing.
    Why can Apple not make a technology, such as AirPlay, work with greater than 10%?
    Any other ideas?
    Come on, people.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Here is one different from Jspell..
    In 6i client/server you can call MS Word spell checker using OLE. Below sample code for 6i.
    For 10g you will need webutil to use same code. install webutil and just replace "OLE2." with "CLIENT_OLE2."
    PROCEDURE spell_check (item_name IN VARCHAR2)
    IS
       my_application   ole2.obj_type;
       my_documents     ole2.obj_type;
       my_document      ole2.obj_type;

       get_spell        ole2.obj_type;
       my_spell         ole2.obj_type;
       args             ole2.list_type;
       spell_checked    VARCHAR2 (4000);
       orig_text        VARCHAR2 (4000);
    BEGIN
       orig_text := NAME_IN (item_name);

       ole2.set_property (my_application, 'VISIBLE', FALSE);
       my_documents := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'DOCUMENTS');
       my_document := ole2.invoke_obj (my_documents, 'ADD');
       my_selection := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'SELECTION');
       ole2.set_property (my_selection, 'TEXT', orig_text);
       get_spell :=ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'ACTIVEDOCUMENT');
       ole2.invoke (get_spell, 'CHECKSPELLING');
       ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'WholeStory');
       ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'Copy');
       spell_checked := ole2.get_char_property (my_selection, 'TEXT');
       spell_checked :=SUBSTR (REPLACE (spell_checked, CHR (13), CHR (10)),1,LENGTH (spell_checked));
       COPY (spell_checked, item_name);
       args := ole2.create_arglist;
       ole2.add_arg (args, 0);
       ole2.invoke (my_document, 'CLOSE', args);
       ole2.destroy_arglist (args);

       ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_documents);

  • Anyone have any ideas of how to make the battery on the iphone5 last longer?

    Anyone have any ideas of how to make the battery on the iphone5 last longer? I don't use the phone that much and the battery does not last all day. Phone is new.

    Many suggestions can be found here
    1. turn off push email and use fetch or manual fetch instead.
    2. turn off or at least limit notifications
    3. limit use of apps that use location services (eg. maps app - heavy power useage when running).
    4. in General->About->Diagnostics & Usage, turn off Automatic sending.
    5. Privacy->Location Services->System Services, disable everything (none of it need be running for normal use).
    6. Wifi, turn off "Ask to Join Networks" so your device is not polling all open networks it finds.
    7. keep brightness as low as you can get by with.
    Finally, get a car charger, and a second charger for work/school and just plug in whenever it is convenient to do so.
    Or, if it suits your daily routine better, get an external battery power brick or case and charge it periodically from that.

  • How can I prevent firefox to Offer to save passwords and how to remove the tick checked when I log in to gmail?

    While using firefox I am using, private browsing and not remembering any passwords.
    When I login to Gmail, the login page shows option to type in my gmail id and then password, and at the bottom, it gives the option of checkbox to remember the password next time. NOW, the problem is that, THIS CHECK box is always TICKED (Checked). I don't want it to be checked at all.
    So How can I prevent firefox to Offer to save passwords and how to remove the tick checked when I log in to gmail?
    Thank you so much.

    Hi Imran_Afzal, if you know that setting the cookie has no effect after you close your private browsing session, is it really worth finding a hack to clear the checkbox?
    I believe in order to do that you would need to use an extension or userscript. However, I haven't searched for one.
    ''Note: When searching for a userscript on userscripts.org, be very cautious as many hacked scripts have been posted lately. Check reviews and check the code to make sure it only runs on your Google site before installing.''

    Just had conversation with customer services where they claimed the maximum speed I could get was 6mb and the 17mb quoted in the letter was a "clerical error". I've worked out they must have been using the checker linked above but the speeds quoted aren't accurate for my connection. Does anyone else have a discrepency?
