MBA usage while charging

is it a right way, when possible, to save battery, to use MBA while charging? j mean, in this way, MBA use the wall power instead of the battery power: right or wrong?

You can keep the computer  plugged in while in use.
Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.
If you keep the computer always plugged in, make sure that at least twice a month
run it on battery until battery charge level drops to about 50-40%.
Please don’t discharge the battery completely. Discharging battery completely will reduce battery health.

  • On my iPhone 5, the battery symbol and percentage won't change, even while charging or during usage throughout the day. The battery is however charging and draining properly from what I can tell.

    Has anyone had this issue or know of a fix?
    Thanks

    Try this
    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
    Using the phone while charging doesn't create a problem.. I do it all the time

  • Cellular/data usage while connected to Wi-Fi with iPhone 5

    I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 and when I view my usage details for data I am seeing small amounts of data use even while my phone is connected to Wi-Fi and charging. I did not see this with my iPhone 4.
    The usage is small and I'm guesstimating adds up to 20-30MB per month, but wondering if this is normal.
    My iPhone 4 was running iOS 5.1.1 and the iPhone 5 is running iOS 6.0.2 and Verizon 13.3.
    I'm not if this is considered normal as I've read about the recent bug that was allowing a lot of data to leak while on Wi-Fi. Supposedly iOS 6.0.2 and Verizon 13.1 fixed this issue. Others have posted that a replacement phone fixed the issue.
    The small data use seems to be about 30-90kb every couple of hours. Again, I never saw this with the iPhone 4.
    Do others see this small data usage while on Wi-Fi?
    Thanks!

    Hmmm, I don't think that's the case. As I said, I can keep perfect track of wi-fi and 3G usage with the DataMan app. While I'm connected via wi-fi, there's a 90-10 ratio between wi-fi and 3G. There's a lot of wi-fi usage, meaning it is connected, at least, most of the time.
    Maybe an alternative answer to my question, based on your reply, would be the fact that the connection might be dropped SOMETIMES, but not FOR GOOD, when the phone is locked. I would like to understand this behaviour better - why it is dropped? It really makes little sense to drop the wi-fi connection if it is known that it is much stabler, faster AND it costs me zero to use data with it.
    I don't wanna spend my 3G data, that's why we keep looking for wi-fi connections everywhere we go, right?

  • Can using my Macbook Air (2014 13") while charging harm by battery?

    I have Macbook Air 13inch. I want to know if I can use it while charging and what's better for the battery, charging it to 100% and unplugging or using it while it's connected to the electricity? I read something that it's not good for the battery. If it's possible can you please tell me what I should do for better battery life?

    You certainly can use your MBA while it is charging.  There will be no adverse affect on the battery.
    Here are some Apple support articles on batteries and charging which you may find useful:

  • Iphone 6 plus fingerprint is not working while charging

    My iphone 6 plus fingerprint scan is not working while charging. Is this normal?
    I tried my iphone 5s and it works just fine even while charging.

    I think I got an answer to my own question
    If you're using generic lightning cable (non-original lighting cable), the fingerprint scan doesn't work while charging.
    I just find it weird as my iphone 5s works even if i'm not using the original lightning cable though.

  • Battery problem!!!!heating up while charging and battery loosing in short time

    Hi swaraj.vidhate,
    If you are experiencing what appears to be unusually short battery life, you may want to check out the "Power/Battery: Battery life seems short" section of the following article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    In particular, the Restore iPhone step will help isolate if any potential issue is software or hardware related.
    With regard to the iPhone warming during charging:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2101
    When using the device or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler air outside.
    If you are still having issues with the battery life, or have any further concerns, there is a link to Apple iPhone Support at the bottom of the Hardware Troubleshooting document; I am sure they would be happy to be of assistance.
    Cheers,
    - Brenden

  • Skype 4.2.0.11 has abnormally high CPU usage while...

    Skype 4.2.0.11 has abnormally high CPU usage while idle.
    I can't get my laptop under 70 degrees celsius unless I cpulimit or quit skype, and cpulimiting it actually makes it completely unresponsive, as if some other thread is constantly generating a lot of work and taking priority over the UI thread.
    What the heck is skype doing? (And why do any of its threads need nice -10?) It takes up more CPU time than pulseaudio, truecrypt, and deluged combined.
    Its CPU usage is constantly between 5 and 50 percent*, it's absolutely horrible.
    *While idle. I'm unable to make calls.
    I know this is expected from a linux user, but for all I know, Skype is malware. It's not open-source, so I can't find out for myself, and there are no open-source alternatives so the frankly shameful amount of bugs I encounter in Skype will never be fixed.
    There are several bugs I'd love to be fixed in Skype, but first, PLEASE, optimize your code. It's absolutely horriffic at the moment.

    Attached are statistics from my desktop over approximately a 24 hour period for the processes shown (other than firefox and adb).
    Pulseaudio tops skype this time but that's because I've had music playing through mpd for a few hours. Skype uses more than 16 times the CPU that pidgin does, and almost double the RAM! RAM isn't shown in the screenshot but take my word for it. Bear in mind that I haven't taken (or made) any calls in this period of time, and pidgin has been signed into three different services and using encrypted chat.
    I really wish that at least the protocol would be documented so someone could work around this, at the moment I don't think the guys writing skype realize just how unstable the linux port is. At least it's better than the Android port.
    [Edit for those unfamiliar with linux processes: "TIME" is the cumulative time that the program has been scheduled for on any core, effectively making it a measure of total CPU usage for a given time period]

  • I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.

    I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.

    Then put a SIM in. You cannot activate an iPhone without a compatible Sim.
    If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken the update restore the lock.
