Low Battery Automatically Disable Orientation Sensor and Wifi

Hi,
My new Encore 2 WT8 automatically turns off orientation sensor and WIFI whenever the battery is below certain level. The orientation sensor and WIFI will remain disable even after the tablet is fully charged eventhough Device Manager shows that they are enabled. Reboot the tablet won't help either. The only way to reactivate them is to disable and enable them from Device Manager manually. Is there a way to keep them alive even the battery is low?
Thanks and best regards,

Thanks, Peter. I googled about the issue and found that it's quite common. However, I can't find any solution to it except disable/enable the sensor and adapter to get them functional again. As such, I believe this is manufacturer's responsibility to fix it. Can you point me to the direction where I can draw Toshiba's attention to fix such problem without incurring support fee?
Thanks.

Does iPhone4 (Verizon) automatically DISABLE 3G when in WiFi?

I know that when in WiFi, the iPhone4 will prefer / use the WiFi network instead of the 3G network. However, my question is whether the iPhone automatically disables the 3G radio when in WiFi. I have unlimited 3G data, but WiFi is faster and is also better on the battery, so when I am in WiFi I prefer to use it instead of 3G. I want 3G disabled while I am in WiFi to save battery. Of course, I can manually go in, enable WiFi and disable 3G, but I have noticed that when my iPhone connects to WiFi, the WiFi antenna symbol replaces the 3G symbol next to the Verizon bars. This makes me wonder if the iPhone is actually turning off 3G automatically when it connects to WiFi versus just preferring WiFi but still having the 3G radio on.
Thanks!

Perhaps I didn't phrase the question exactly right. I can go into Settings and disable 3G (actually on the Vz iPhone it is Disable Cellular Data), which leaves voice connectivity but no ablity to get 3G data, and helps preserve battery. When I am in WiFi, does the iPhone automatically disable Cellular Data or does this still have to done manually? Thanks!

Disabling web browsing and Wifi Itunes music store

We're thinking of getting a iPod touch for the kids for xmas and I'm wondering if there is a way to disable web browsing and iTunes wifi access, since I understand there are no parental controls available on the touch. Thanks

yes there is no way to disable this icons, and the only way to do this is to put a password on your wireless router settings, this way they don't know the password and that they can not access the safari, youtube, and the wi-fi itunes music store.

MacBook Pro keyboard is totally unresponsive (except power button). Low battery was triggered last night, and work was conducted after power was connected. I closed the lid and went to sleep, and this morning I cannot log into my laptop.

The keyboard that is in the Mac is not functioning with the exception of the power button.
Since I am traveling, without a rental car, purchase of an external USB keyboard to troubleshoot and/or resolve the problem is not practical.
How do i wake up the keyboard?

Trouble starting ipod (very low battery message) and loop

Hello. I am having troble to start my ipod classic 5 generation. The message "please wait very low battery" (with an ipod with sad face) appears but the weird thing is that i just used it yesterday and i left it fully charged...but well. Then i try to charge the battery with a wall charger but it starts on a loop passing from the black screen with the apple logo, then it goes to the message "go to itunes/ipod/support" web site. and then it says again "please wait very low battery" just for a second and then it goes back to the black screen with apple logo and does this again and again. Then i tried to connect my ipod to the computer, after i do this it shows the message "please wait very low battery" and stays like this forever. I have tried ALL the suggestions, from trying to restart the ipod by clicking the middle button and the menu button at the same time (several times) and then clicking the middle button and the play button so it gows to the disk ode and nothing. I tryed witting it on the right corner and nothing. I already tested 3 usb different cables and nothing. It is not my usb port (i made tests with an ipod touch i have and works fine). Daaaaaaaaaarn!!! I really dont know waht to do now.
Any advises please!!!!?
Thanks a lot!
Rick

Low Battery - Battery too low for Radio use - And Curve will not Charge - HELP!!!

Need help and lost without BB. My BB displays Low Battery. If I try and make a call I get Battery too low for Radio use. I have tried to charge the BB but nothing happens and still cannot make call or charge unit. Tried charging overnight with car charger and A/C adapter. Tried removing battery for one minute and reinstalling.
Any ideas????

Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
When you are connected to the charger, do you see the lightning bold charging symbol displayed over or next to the battery indicator on the screen of the device? If so, then let it charge a while. A battery at less than 10% charge can take an hour or more to get just 10% higher, and then the charging will move faster.
If you are not seeing the charging indicator, then you could have a bad USB port.
If you connect it to your PC via the USB cable, does the BlackBerry appear to connect?

My iphone switchesoff with a low battery sign when 40% is still remaining.

the battery is still 40% but whenever im using an App it suddenly closes and a low battery sign indicating 1% appears and the phone switches off!

Take it back to whoever replaced your battery and have them rectify the situation.
Just of out curiosity, where was your battery replaced - what shop/retailer/company
in what country?

Abrupt loss of power, no low battery warning

a familiar story, but haven't been able to dig up a solid solution in past discussions--so perhaps a fresh suggestion...? (thanks in advance!)
okay, so one moment the battery indicator shows 45 minutes remaining; the next, my tibook puts itself to sleep or shuts down entirely. and when i plug it back in--yep, the battery indicator shows a 0% charge.
this is actually my 2nd battery for this tibook, a replacement i purchased from apple after the 1st died as expected. for the life of that 1st battery, i would always see a low battery warning before shut-down, and the charge indicator generally was on target. but as for the current battery, even though it's relatively new (maybe just over a year old, 193 cycles) and still holds a decent charge (lasts a couple of hours), i can't even recall the last time i saw that warning message before the computer went dark on me. i tend to stay plugged in, but when running on battery power the charge indicator seems pretty accurate--unless i dare to get anywhere near depletion as described above, and then suddenly it's way off the mark and the screen is dark.
i've tried messing with power settings, follow tips for maintaining battery life, etc.--no luck. surely the battery can't be dead already!
...though that would figure since i can't return it anymore... and since my extended applecare plan expired a week ago, maybe now my (replacement) adapter will explode and almost burn the house down like the 1st one did. sheesh.
anyways, big-time thanks for any insight or suggestions, much appreciated.
PowerBook G4 (ti) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

maybe the power mangement unit on your logic board is broken?
The more people experience the same symptoms, the more I doubt it.
did you do all the resets pram etc?
Yes, of course. To no effect.
While I am trying the "trick" described above by SuperSizeIt (discharge until forced sleep + sleep for another whole day + recharge to maximum), please: everybody go to SystemProfiler and check their capacity. Is it going down from charge cycle to charge cycle, as in my case?
Initially I had: 4200 mAh
After just six cycles in three weeks: 3176 mAh
So the drop is more than ~170 mAh/cycle. I would consider a few mAh normal, but certainly not this much!
Now, I would like to know whether this symptom is just part of the problem described in this thread, or an additional one.

Is there a location aware wifi option (or app) that enables wifi at a specific location (home) and automatically disables it when you are away from the specified location?

I manually turn off my wifi when leaving home for several reasons:
1. I don't want my wifi to be on and constantly scanning wifi networks while I am away from home due to privacy reasons. Many retail stores and airports are now tracking users based on their smartphone's wifi pings. They can then store your phone's MAC address (the unique identifier of your phone) to determine how often you visit the store and where you go within the store. It's just a matter of time before they match up your phone's MAC address with your credit card/payment info and then to your identity. The only way to subvert this is to turn off your phone's wifi.
2. For security reasons: Wifi access points can track devices that broadcast their wifi signal, even if they don't ever actually connect to the access point's network. These access points can then store your device's details including your phone's MAC address. Once your phone's MAC address is discovered, it can be targeted by a hacker. In addition, there are multiple well known hacker tools that can be used to scan for smartphone wifi signals in order to detect and then hack your iphone. Bottom line: if your wifi is discoverable, then your device is hackable.
3. I believe it would save battery life if the iphone's wifi is not on and constantly scanning for networks all the time.
There are other reasons as well, but the above are my 3 main reasons for asking about this.
The reminders app is location aware - you can set reminders to alert you when you are at a specific location. So, why not provide the option (or an app) to only enable wifi when you are at home - or any other location where you have an authorized or trusted wifi?
As it is right now, the iphone's wifi is broadcasting 24/7 everywhere you go. Not great for privacy & security. When I turn off my wifi, the phone uses my 4G plan for data and GPS for location services... so wifi is not needed at all for data or location services while I am away from home (and no, wifi does not improve location accuracy, that is a fallacy... there is nothing within the wifi protocol that could ever improve location accuracy). But the point is, wifi should have a location aware option. Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before there is a headline story about how not having this feature is a huge security/privacy problem.

Understood. However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question. It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point. Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
The point is that it's not secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode. It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office). Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
(1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
(2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
(3) Off.

T500 performance loss and restart issue after low battery shutdown

Hi,
Some days ago I experienced a significant loss in performance of my T500. Unfortunately it seems to be a continuous loss and the games I play, e.g. empire total war that did run ok before are nearly unplayable at the moment.
Additionally, when the computer shuts down due to low battery, it no longer manages to resume windows but always crashs during reboot (black screen and hard disk symbol is moving, no other activity for 10 minutes)
I am working with the standard vista installation and installed all automatic updates, but also every time when I shutdown the computer, no matter how long it has been running (even after 1 minute and after a rebooting 3 minutes ago), the red shutdown symbol in start shows that an update needs to be installed.
any ideas?
Many thanks in advance !

Well, the problem, seem's to have reoccured: Battery ran out (even the indicator leds on the side didn't show any life), Time reset to 1.1.2001, again some rebooting and setting the time again...
Is this a sign of a degrading battery health status?
It looks like reseting the SMC didn't help after all.

Ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s + very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

Welcome, sorry to hear your news, there are numerous threads on this issue. Try the trouble shooting on the other threads, I do not recommend sticking it in the freezer or heating with a hair dryer though,
If it's within warranty and trouble shooting doesn't work, get it. Ack to apple ASAP and get it replaced.
Many others are in the same position, who also have a 4s
Good luck

My 30gb keeps restarting/rebooting and say "please wait. very low battery" help?

ITs has the Apple Logo Then It Make Funny Mechanic Sounds Then Say "Please Wait. Very Low Battery" The Screen Never Lites Up and It Does the same process over again rebooting with the same screens. never has the chance to connect to computer and at one point said www.apple.com/support. i don't the OS

Here's what I did today and so far so good.
I charged the ipod using a firewire cable, which seems to work for charging as does my other auxiliary chargers, car etc. When on these powered chargers the ipod works fine, but no ability to sync.
Did many resets while on the charger.
I put the hold button on and very quickly swapped from the firewire to the USB, low and behold it boots, syncs and charges.
I did a full restore and disabled disk use.
It's syncing now, I'll let you know if it messes up again.

Iphone 5 low battery settings with wifi

Are there any special Iphone 5 low battery settings with wifi? Today I was using my iphone and the wifi magically turned off by itself. I figured it was just having trouble finding the wifi so I went to my settings to see what was going on. Somehow it turned itself off. I'm guessing this is because I had a low battery. I just got the battery message saying my phone had reached 20% battery a few minutes before that happened. Has this ever happened to anyone before?

Yes, and you would have had that answer had you bothered to search this forum before posting.
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

Disable low battery warning?

Is there a way to disable the low battery warning that pops up at 20% remaining? I turned off Notifications, but that didn't stop the low battery notifications.
I usually have up to two hours to go when the battery is 20%, and dismissing this warning every 10 minutes gets annoying. Plus, there is a battery level indicator on the screen at all times, and it turns red when 20% is reached. So really, this pop-up warning serves no purpose at all. It reminds me of Windows, tbh.
