My battery icon does not always show in panel (multiple DEs)
I've been meaning to ask this for a while. I kind of asked in passing not really looking too hard for an answer. And from what I heard others aren't having this issue, but then again I didn't ask very in depth.
On my laptop if I plug in my power cable I can see my battery icon in the panel, then when I unplug it I can see the battery icon. However, after a certain amount of time of being unplugged the icon in the panel disappears until my laptop gets really low on power. Then it reappears. If I plug in my power cable and then remove it I get my panel icon back immediately, but only for a short time.
I was using XFCE and thought it might be a problem with the new Power Manager. Whenever the icon would disappear I could go into the Power Manager settings and it was never wrong. It always told me correctly if I had a line in or line out.
So I tried with GNOME and the exact same thing happens. i haven;t tried with any other desktop environments. Has anyone seen this issue?
No, I've not seen it.
Look at the pseudo files in /sys/class/power_supply. On my system, these are the interesting ones:
ewaller@odin ~ 1048 %ls /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0
alarm capacity_level charge_full_design current_now device model_name present status technology uevent voltage_now
capacity charge_full charge_now cycle_count manufacturer power serial_number subsystem type voltage_min_design
ewaller@odin ~ 1049 %cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/voltage_now
12467000
ewaller@odin ~ 1050 %cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_now
3670000
Ensure that these files are not appearing and disappearing. Also, check their contents and see if the data are rational

NB550D - battery icon does not always reflect the proper balance of time
I have just recently purchased an NB550D and I must say that at the outset I am very happy with it. It does tend to be a bit slow but I can live with that.
My problem however is that the battery icon does not always reflect the proper balance of time. For instance after a full charge it may show 9 hours remaining but after a shutdown and restart it will may show 75% and 3 hours remaining. If I shut down and restart it may show 75% and 6 hours remaining
When I first started the unit I allowed it to fully discharge (through use) three times as was suggested by the salesman at the store but quite candidly it doesn't seem to have made one scrap of difference!
Any advice will be appreciated.
RegardsRemaining time is not credible value of the battery state - it depends on actual duty of processor and the program wich estimates this sometimes shows wrong that time or corrects this after a while. Percentage of charge of battery is much better factor to use!
But in case your battery loses from 95% to 75% after restart indictates that's something wrong with the battery or program... In my NB550D after restart (pause for 1 day) the battery loses only 2-3% . -

Top right battery icon does not show battery usage
So over the weekend I did not charge my iPhone, because the icon always said I had full battery life. I believed it because I never made a call, listened to music/video or surfed the net. It basically stayed in sleep in my pocket both days.
I get to work monday, pull it out to listen to music and I get the full screen battery icon showing the battery is dead with the plug and lightning bolt icons under it, then it turns off on its own. If I turn it on again, same deal.
I get home, hook it up to my PC and charge it, it works fine.
Today i've been listening to the iPod all day and surfing the net on EDGE and the battery icon in the top right shows full battery. To test I turned WIFI on for the past few hours to check and it's still showing full battery.
Basically just the battery icon in the top right isn't recognizing the battery being used. My Usage stats in Settings are also blank for Time Since Last Full Charge.
Background info:
Refurbished iPhone bought directly from ATT, came with 1.1.1, immediatly upgraded to 1.1.4
I've tried hard reboots.
I keep push e-mail and WiFi off at all times. WiFi comes on very rarely and only for short amounts of time.
I keep the phone connected to my PC overnight, but the PC does not go into any sort of sleep mode(ruling out not charging overnight)
I'm going to go home tonight and restore the phone to see if that helps, but I wanted to see if this is hardware related or software. This just started this weekend and i've had the phone for a few weeks now, and other than some short battery life at the beginning when I would keep wifi and push e-mail on a lot, or the random Safari closings, no other issues.

Have you tried re-calibrating the battery? To re-calibrate it, let the battery drain completely and then charge it fully. You should see correct battery usage after that.
Hope this helps,

Album art does not always show.
I posted this question before, but never found an answer.
Album art works most of the time, but not always.
After ripping a CD, I highlight all songs, get the info dialog, and drop the album art on the info dialog. This works most of the time. But not always. Sometimes, there is a song on a CD that does not appear to have any album art at all. Sometimes it shows the incorrect album art that iTunes had automatically downloaded.
For example, I'm just listening to my "Ultra Dance 02" album on my iPod. I remember that after ripping, iTunes incorrectly added album art for "Ultra.iDance 05". I fixed that by select-all, get-info, and drag-and-dropping the correct art. After syncing with my iPod, all songs show the correct "Ultra Dance 02" artwork, except for track 6, which still shows "Ultra.iDance 05"
What's going on? How do I ensure that the changes that I make stick? And how do I fix such an error?
Also, is there a way to associate album art with a whole album, rather than each song individually?
-Ron.Even if iTunes recognized it, you cannot use iTunes to transfer from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). You need to use a third-party program. Here is an article on that topic.
http://lifehacker.com/394046/copy-music-from-your-iphone-or-ipod-to-your-compute r-for-free
However, if your hard drive's data is in bad shape, it may be difficult to recover all of your songs files.
Note: The hard drive may have data corruption, but the iPod may work better after you use the Restore button in iTunes. The Restore process erases the iPod and initializes the iPod's software. It won't fix a hardware problem if the drive is becoming faulty. But it may fix the problem if it is only data corruption. -
I do not know how to make this any more clear. The strange, 'squiggly' words are meant to protect a web site from computerized log ins (I think). If the words are interpreted and entered correctly, you can log in successfully. But since the strangely formed words do not show up on my screen, I cannot continue the process. This does not occur all the time, on some sites the strangely formed words show up, and I can continue the process. Is this a problem with Firefox, my computer, or the web site I am trying to log into?
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images permissions.default.images

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Bug: JList does not always show the right selection
I have a JList (Navigator model!) on my form which contains the data of a certain view. The view consists of several attributes but the navigator model always only shows the value of one field. The field I have choosen hasn't an unique value but that's no problem for what I want to do with the JList.
When I select another row in the view object useing it's key the row is selected in the view object (which I can check looking at the primary key attribute of the currently selected row), but in the JList sometimes the wrong row is selected. I noticed that if there is another row with the same value for the visible attribute (in my case an attribute called "name") as the row which is selected in the view object sometimes this wrong row is selected in the JList. This occurs if the wrong row with the same visible value (name) is at a higher position in the list. So it looks like the BC4J framework checks what the value is of the visible attribute of the currently selected row in the view object and used this value to select the first row in the JList that has this value. This doesn't necessarily mean it's the right row!!!
E.g.
The initial view object:
PK | Name
1 | test
2 | another test <-- currently selected row
3 | test
The initial JList:
| test |
| another test | <-- currently selected row
| test |
Now I tell the view object that I want to select the row with primary key value "3".
Now my view object looks like this:
PK | Name
1 | test
2 | another test
3 | test <-- currently selected row
But my JList now looks like this:
| test | <-- currently selected row
| another test |
| test |
I hope this is sufficient information to trace the bug, if not feel free to contact me (by sending a response to this message). I'm useing JDeveloper 9.0.3 preview!
Regards,
PeterWell, how should the list resolve the difference between two "displayed values" that are same?Well, if I select a certain value in the list the connected record in the ViewObject is selected. In other words the JList seems to know enough about the ViewObject to select the correct record (it doesn't select the first record in the ViewObject with the display value!). So if "it" knows how to do it one way, why not the other way?When you select by index then the object corresponding to that index is selected and that means the right row (if you are able to figure out which row by simply having the knowledge of the row index though even though the displayed values are duplicate - but I won't say that's realistic). The other way, it only has a value - string that it has to match with a set of values in the list and that logic has no clues which of the "duplicate" entries would be the right one.
To resolve such conflicts you could add another "displayed attribute" in the list which is going to make the attribute-set unique in the list.I did do that already, but then my list becomes read-only (not selectable) because the attribute I added is a primary key attribute which is a DBSequence field what may not be changed once it has been inserted. The weird thing is, you can't change the value when you select it from the list, so why does it behave like this? (In other words why is a list with a read only display attribute also read only? because selecting something in a navigator list doesn't mean something get's changed in the selected attribute value!). I'd chase this one. This definitely sounds like a bug. Readonly-ness should not be derived from "displayed" attributes but "updateable" attributes. -

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

The Airplay icon does not show on my Mac Pro, regardless that it is clicked on display. How can I do to see the Airplay Icon in order to connect my apple TV with my Mac Pro?
To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.
Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1) When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2) I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3) So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. -
