Is there a settings in Win7/HP feature that the battery does not charge until it is under 95%

I just purchased a HP Pavilion dv6-7043cl laptop and have noticed that the battery does not charge unless it is below 95%. I am very concercerned because I had a different laptop from a different manufacturer where I had battery issues. That manufacturer was not helpful and I will never buy from them again.
I have heard good things about HP which is why I decided to buy this particular machine. However, I have only had this machine for 3 days and now this is starting. I cannot find a Win 7 (I am running Win 7 home premuim 64 bit) setting that controls when the battery starts to charge. Is this a function of the HP Power Manager? Is this a feature of the battery HP ships with their laptops? Or is this indicating a problem with this machine? I am a college student and I need a reliable laptop for school.
Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
HanNan

Hi,
This feature is intended by design in order to reduce unecessary charge/recharge cycles - reference to this can be found in the 5th paragragh in the document below.

G61-420CA win7 home premium 3Gb Ram Battery does not charge while laptop is powered on with adapter

Model………Hp G61-420CA
System board ….. 363F 42.15
Bios ….. F.15
Serial # …….. {Removed for privacy}
PN # ……..WA965UA#ABC
Win 7 Home Premium 64bit

What I have done so far:
Replaced Battery with correct new battery ……….. No change in symptoms.
Replaced power adapter with new…………. No change in symptoms
Reseated the Ram, altered position of both 1 gb and 2 gb memory module. …. No change in symptoms
Dismantled laptop, down to motherboard to check for loose ribbon cables.
Reseated lan and wireless lan cards.
Reseated processor
Reseated Hdd
Replaced RTC battery
Reassembled and no change in symptoms.
Checked setup in bios OK
Reflashed Bios with F.15 update (this during one occasion where the laptop remained on with battery and power adapter for nine minutes)
All with no change to symptoms. And the symptoms still exist.
All that I am left with is that it is due to a faulty motherboard after two years.
Have I missed something, is there more I could be looking at
Thanks everyone I begining to feel like I know nothing about laptops or HP

In the search feature of the phone, does not work correctly

In the search feature of the phone, when typing a first name or last name, why does the search start with the letter A? For example, I type ME and the first name that pops up is Cecil. Cecil is in my contact list but not what I am searching for.

I believe when using the search feature, it searches more fields than just the first and last name. See if Cecil has something in his contact card that contains MA, such as an address, company name, etc. Otherwise, I generally do not find any problems using search.

How can I change the settings such that the phone does not vibrate when I receive a message in silent mode, but vibrates for calls?

I'd like the phone to vibrate when I receive a call when it is in silent mode (as it already does) but I'd like it to not vibrate when I receive a text in silent mode. I know how to set both (calls and texts) to not vibrate in silent mode, or choose no vibration for texts when loud or silent, but not what I just mentioned. Thanks.

Try this - Settings > Sounds > Text Tone > Vibration (at the top) > None.
Edit - just read the last part of your post closer and I'm not aware of such an option.

My iphone 4 was taken not have the tracking because its a dinasour. it does have a pass code to access it. Is there any way to deactivate it so that the person can not use or sell it like by a serial number

My I phone4 was taken. there is no tracking because Apple told me it was to hold to support the tracking system. Is there any want thatone could track it by the serial number by posting it with apple and if someone trys to reactivate it and registers my number it can be notified that the devise was stolen? Any options

No. Apple does no tracking of lost or stolen devices.
If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing, something which your iPhone certainly would support - any device that can run iOS 5 or later can - then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. If you did not set up Find My iPhone, check with your cell carrier. Some carriers offer their own tracking service, though you usually have to pay for it.
If your carrier does not offer such a service and you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track the unit. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance).

I have a AT-300 Thrive Excite that the digitizer does not respond to any touch is there a fix

I tried to reboot it and restored it but it still no reponse is there any simple fix?

The AT300 is an Excite and not a Thrive.
Unfortunately, it sounds like it requires servicing.

How do you change the settings on Firefox so that the email does not delete on closing ? I have searched and apparently I am not looking in the correct place. Thanks.

I installed MS Office 2007 so I could take some classes in Access and Outlook for a job. Outlook would not work correctly until I figured out what password it was asking for. Since I did that 2 days ago, the email in my inbox in Firefox/Yahoo deletes the email when I close it or when it sits unused for several hours. It appears the email is going to Outlook as well but they are not being deleted on close.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your email, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

HT3529 The "Search" feature for the Messages does not seem to cover text messages beyond two days with iOS7 (while it did work well with previous iOS - in terms of searching the entire Message folder)

With previous iOS, the "Search conversations" function did work for Messages (in the Messages list, tap the top of the screen to display the search field, then enter the text you’re looking for). With iOS7, this is not working for messages that are more than 2 days old (at least with iPhone 4S)

Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

Why has the iPad not got some features that the iPhone has?

The title tells a lot.
Some things I think are missing, as you can get told the weather, but there is no weather icon. Same for stocks, and why can't the iPad have a voice memo or compass app?
It seems surprising that for something bigger than the iPhone hasn't got equal features, but has less?
Anyone know?

They are meant to be two seperate products. The iPad has features that the iPhone does not.

My old droid offered turn by turn directions just like a GPS nav system. I can't find that feature on the 4s, does it exist?

It seems that the 4s does not offer GPS style navigation with turn by turn directions and alerts when approaching waypoints. Am I missing something or is this a case of needing to purchase a separate app? If the latter is the case, that becomes a strike for this phone (so far the only thing I can say is lacking)

You can get this functionallity with the Maps app but it
is pretty basic and requires an internet connection,
pretty much what the NAV option on Google Maps
on Androids does. And like on the Android, it doesn't
automatically recalculate the route.
There are several different apps available at the app
store with a very wide range of price. Some rely on
an internet connection at all times for maps, some do initial
route downloads but require internet if a detour is encountered,
and others download complete maps.
Personally I have downloaded the Garmin USA system
and it works quite well and is pretty much the same experience
as using a dedicated Garmin GPS.
There is a catagory Navigation in the app store. Browse to your
hearts content.

Macbook pro 15'' 2011 will not charge while playing games under win7 64

During the game (under high load ex. crysis2), the charging LED changes from orange to green and the computer does not charge,
even the battery drains slowly. If battery charge is 100%, in about 50 minutes after the start of the game, the battery charge drops to 94% and
when I quit the game the charging LED changes from green to orange... What's the deal? (Sorry for my english, i'm italian ).

I've just bought a 17" MBP and I'm having the same issue, but in OSX and Linux just the same. In one incident, my battery was running low so I plugged it in, but it still died about 10 minutes later because it continued to draw more power than the Magsafe plug could provide. Needless to say, there was quite a bit of filesystem corruption from the sudden power loss. That this is a common issue to 2011 MBPs does not magically make it "acceptable", especially when the fix consists of providing a more powerful charger.
For a $2500 laptop this is absolutely ridiculous. If the thing draws 100w under peak usage, make a damned charger that provides 120w. In the worst case, it will keep the computer running without unduly stressing the battery. In the best case, it will charge the battery much faster.

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
Good luck.

the problem stated that the internet is not connected, but that is not the case.

I had the same issue and I'm running Windows 7. Tried working with technical support for several hours but they were no help. They just had me doing the same things over and over, offering no real answers. I finally got fed up and have decided to return my product for a full refund.

When I open a new website, the page does not open, instead it places a tab in the bottom task bar? How can I change the settings so as when I open a new website the page is automatically displayed on my desktop. Thank You!

Tools > Options > Tabs - is the last preference there check-marked??

There was a problem connecting to the server "Time Capsule". The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again.

The following error pop's up as an [OK] dialogue box after logging in the iMac,
There was a problem connecting to the server "Time Capsule".
The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again."
As it happens, a connection to the Time Capsule is established usually, anyway. On occasion it doesn't.
I have a Volume, Data, on the capsule, which similarly, usually mounts, but occassionally doesn't, with access permissions denied.
Any suggestions on how begin to work out how to achieve networking seamlesness?

First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click Renew DHCP lease.
Try again to back up.
If you still can't, open the Time Machine preference pane and delete the TC from the list of backup destinations. You may have to unlock the settings by clicking the lock icon in order to do this. Then add it back.
