Nokia 6300 Poor battery life

I have a new Nokia 6300. It seems to have a very pathetic battery life. It doesn't last a day with nrmal usage and not more than one and a half day with no usage at all. Does any one else have this issue or the problem is specific to my set.

I agree, it's either a faulty phone or battery. You should get at least 2 to 3 full days with very little useage.
I'd visit a care point and get it checked out if I was you.

Nokia 206 poor battery life

I had the 206 coming to a week now. And I charged the battery on Fri night full and by Sun evening it was saying battery low and I only used fb, text and whats app. Few mins worth of calls and no music.
Also the phone seems to turn off when using whats app or facebook sometimes.
This is annoying.
Also the E for the internet Edge is on all the time will this kill battery too ?
Dunno how people get 8 days of battery life seems impossible!!

That is long process to turn it on and off!
The E doesnt disappear when I turn it off! This is strange!! The rectange around the E disappears but not the E itself.
It managed another 2 days and am recharging it right now.
It cant drain the battery for using whats app for about 10 messages come on get real folks!
The phone apparently can do what 25 hours it was said as talk time? Thats a lot more than whats app.
The internet is very slow and poor also, very disappointed with this tat!

leave bluetooth and gprs off
Allow the phone to completely discharge before recharging.
When it reaches full, take it off the power. Complete this cycle a few times and you may find that the battery life does increase somewhat. Some people have reported being able to get an extra day or so out of the battery following this procedure.
Turn off the screen saver.
When the screen saver is enabled, the screen stays lit up for quite a while after you have locked the keypad. This drains power needlessly so I recommend you turn this off.
Turn sleep mode off.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Poor battery life and WiFi connectivity on iPhone 5s

I have bought a new iPhone 5s 16GB running iOS 8.1.2 3 days ago. The device that I have got has a poor battery life and WiFi connectivity. I have tried lots of methods given on the internet like turned off the auto-brightness, reset the phone to default settings.
Then contacted the Apple Care for battery issue. They asked for the diagnostics to check the problem. They said its happening because of the crash of inbuilt app Springboard asked me to try "Set up as new iPhone". Even after doing all these, I am still getting battery not more than 4 hours.
This is not expected from Apple. Such an awful experience on my first iPhone buying.

Poor battery life and high temperatures on MacBook Pro Retina 15"

I'm having never-ending problems with poor battery life and high temperatures on a MacBook Pro Retina 15"
I took it in for service and they told me it needed a new logic board and replaced it. When I asked why they were vague about the reasons, they said "it just needed one, it failed some test". I now have the computer back and it runs the same way it always did. I bought this laptop because it was supposedly capable of high end video editing in 1080P (or so Apple's website claims) and also photo editing.
"The processor, graphics, all-flash architecture, memory, and display in the 15-inch MacBook Pro give you unprecedented mobile video editing capabilities. Super-responsive flash storage delivers up to nine streams of 1080p ProRes (HQ) content for multicam editing in Final Cut Pro X,3 while the latest quad-core processors on the 15-inch MacBook Pro decode multiple streams of video, and a powerful GPU renders millions of pixels onto the screen. With flash storage that offers up to four times the performance of a traditional hard drive,1 you can even edit four streams of uncompressed 8-bit 1080p HD video, right from the internal storage on your 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.4"
However, when I'm just browsing the web and emailing it runs quite warm and battery life is quite poor. Sometimes doing those same activities I would say it gets so warm it's almost uncomfortable to have on your lap and the fans are running fast enough to become noticably noisy. I'm also driving only one screen at and a time and I heard that the MacBook Pro can supposedly do three screens.
If actually try to do something like video editing with final cut pro the laptop gets really hot, the fans are on full blast and battery life drops to only an hour or two. I think when I rendered just a 3 or 4 minute clip once I got less than hour of battery life. I will have to time again.
Anyway most people (including the sales guys) are telling me no way this is not normal. When I play with demos in the store browsing the web they are not getting warm or hot to the touch. My friend's 2013 MacBook Air is also NOT getting warm to the touch doing the same activities.
I installed iStat Pro so I could check the temperature and fan speeds. I'm seeing temperatures of 70+ on the GPU, 85+ on the GPU diode and 65+ on the CPU heatsink along with elvated fan speeds above 5K which becomes noticeably noisy. I understand that might be normal for the most processor intensive tasks but it really doesn't seem right for just light web browsing and e-mailing. (I also may have viber and skype open but that shouldn't matter). CPU usage is usually running between 2-10% as this is all happening to.
Furthermore, straight from the specs:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
I am assume "GPU" and "GPU diode" are temp measurements on the discrenete NVIDIA video card, especially since MacBook Airs from the same and newer generatio do not have this reading. Since Apple Claims the graphics "automatically switches" it seems all the harder to believe the GPU is reaching 85+ when in theory it shouldn't even be activated. I mean, shouldn't the INtel HD Graphics 4000 be capable of simple web browsing and e-mailing? Especially with only one screen activated (be it it the internal or an external)?
What should I do here? When I asked the repair guys "OK well what is the normal operating temp range for the various sensors" they said "Sorry Apple doesn't provide that info".

Yes I have.
Just web browsing and basically doing nothing I'm hear a lot of aduible fans, I'm getting 85C+ on GPU diode, 65+ on cpu heatsink. I since installed anohter program that shows me not just the CPU heatsink but the cores and the cores are at 90C+.
Seems like a lot of heat for doing nothing. Not only that but I have these problems with no external monitor while on battery power too.
I don't know what to do. They already replaced the logic board. Others seem to get advertised battery life out of Apple products and not have products that get **** near hot enough to burn you while just web browsing or watching a movie let alone advertised tasks like Photoshop and Final Cut Pro.

Possible solution for those suffering from poor battery life - data dropouts etc...

I was having the same bizarre data dropouts - an FDR and cache wipe with no app/data/settings restore fixed it for me, yes it IS a pain in the rear - YES it will take a couple hours if you have a ton of apps and accounts - YES it IS worth it, phone is working as it should now!
Cache Wipe:
Press and hold the Power button and turn the phone off.
When the screen turns off, press and hold Volume Down and Power.
When the white HBOOT screen appears, use the volume button to move down to “RECOVERY.”
Press the Power button to select “RECOVERY.”
When the triangle and exclamation appears, hold the Volume Up and Power button at the same time.
Using the volume button, scroll down to “Wipe cache partition” and select it.
Select “Reboot system now.”
Before doing the FDR do this:
Menu-->System Settings-->Privacy-->under the Backup & Restore items clear the Automatic Restore checkbox.
***NOTE*** By doing this you will lose everything on the phone and internal storage(NOT on the microSD) - you will have to manually reinstall all apps, setup all accounts etc...it take awhile to do but it has solved 99% of the issues I was having: dragginess, dropped 4G, poor battery life etc...
Factory Data Reset
From the screen of your phone, press the Menu button
Tap System Settings.
Scroll down and tap Privacy
Tap Factory Data Reset
Check Erase internal storage if you would like to erase all the data on the phone internal storage such as applications, music, movies or photos.
Tap Reset Phone

There is a little easier Way to Navigate in Doing an F.D.R. than that Method: I listed it here if you prefer going this Route..
2. Re: FACTORY RESET FOR RAZR AN RAZR MAXX

Apple care is useless in India. I bought an iPhone 5 from a Maple store in June 2013. Also got convinced at the store and purchased an additional Insurance worth Rs 1000 at the same time. The iPhone 5 has a very poor battery life. Needed to be charged at

Apple care has been of absolutely no help to me. My 10 month old iPhone 5 stopped charging one fine day and Apple denies any responsibility for the same. Between my Family of 4, we Re currently using 5 Apple devices. Am so disappointed with the service from Apple. Although my cell phone is well within the warranty period , I have been denied a replacement. And the Shield Insurance that I purchased is now declining the insurance amount even. They insist I prove that it is an accidental damage. And Apple refuses to cover what they choose to call a 'physical damage'. So where does that leave me ?!

I cannot see the damage. But the screening centre has pics showing it is damaged. Apple refuses to cover a physical damage. But the reason the device is damaged could only be coz it had a poor battery life from start. The iPhone 5 is infamous for the same. We all know it. Apple conveniently denies responsibility.
And the Insurance company says it covers only accidental damage. Now how am I to prove an 'accidental' damage ? Unless I lie to them....

Has anyone found a solution to the poor battery life in Mavericks?

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has found a reliable solution to the poor battery life after updating to Mavericks. I tried to have the Mac shutdown by letting it go all the way dead and then charge it back up but it still is lousy. To literally see the battery guage go down in such a short period of time is surprising as I didn't have this in my previous OS. My machine is a five month old Macbook Pro Retina. I want to say I started seeing this change after installing the last Mail update for Mavericks. I definitely didn't encounter it after the initial update to Mavericks.
Thoughts, comments, ideas?
Ed

Read through the posts on the right side of the page under 'More Like This'. Several fixes have been mentioned amongst them. But as there was an issue in Mountain Lion that was rectified with an update then it may just be a case of waiting to see if Apple issue a solar update for Mavericks. Remember it has only been out two weeks so I would doubt that if there is an update coming for it that they would release it without thorough testing.
Cheers
Pete

Nokia 5800 - poor battery

Just wondering if anyone is experiencing poor battery life? I only got the phone last week and it doesn't even last 24 hours without the battery running out. I am not on the phone for long, I send a few messages and maybe look through the pics, but it just doesn't last long at all!!!!!!!!

My personal experience has been pretty positive. It lasted longer than I thought it would since I was used to charging my phone (after it reaches low battery) every 2.5 days.
My phone lasts me about 3-4 days on GSM mode with what I consider minimal use:
In terms of activity:
- occasional WLAN (about 30 minutes total) usage
- occasional GPRS web surfing (about 30 minutes total) usage
- 5-10 SMS-es a day
- Brief phone calls less than 5 minutes (total about 5 calls)
- I launch maps about 3-5 times a day with GPS and A-GPS on, using about less than 5-10 minutes each time.
Brightness is also a notch above the mid-point.
It's been that way since the first charge.
Usually after 2 days, I'll charge my phone eventhough it's half of the bars. I get really nervous when the bars get low.
Once, when my house lost power at night, I sat in the garden listening to music for about 3 hours. I had roughly about half of the bars (or slightly more) when I first started playing my tracks.
"Try not. Do or do not, there is no try."
If you found someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to the post!

IPhone 4 poor Battery Life & Intended Obsolescence

I have two questions and will include clarifications/details.
1) Why does my iPhone 4 have such poor battery life? I have had an iPhone 4 for a little over 2 years. I first noticed poor battery life a year and a half ago. I recently (two months ago) replaced my battery. The new battery still has the same very poor battery life problems. It does not last half a day if I use it at all. Before anyone asks, yes, I do constantly close my open applications when they are not in use. And yes, I had a brand new battery put in the phone 2 months ago. It only seemed to give me better battery life for a few days, and then it was back to very poor. Maybe it works for 6 hours now, when before the replacement it worked for 4.
2) A larger question that probably can't really be answered here: Does Apple design iPhone's to break down and work poorly after 2 years? It seems to me, these phones are designed to be used for a year at full functionality, and then start losing speed and battery life. Don't get me wrong, I think the functionality of a new iPhone is 2nd to none, but the functionality of an iPhone after 18 months, is mediocre at best.

You did it yourself? As Apple does not supply spare parts, including batteries, to anybody, there is your first suspect for bad battery performance.
I did not do it myself. I paid a local NYC iPhone service company. And please, what do you mean "there is your first suspect." Replacing the battery is quite easy and thousands of people have done it successfully with instructions from tutorials or sites like iFixit. Just because Apple doesn't sell the 3rd party batteries they put in their phones separately, doesn't mean tons of people haven't done it right (to the point that some can open well desgined storefronts in expensive neighborhoods in Brooklyn). You sound like a total shill. Give me evidence that replacing the battery yourself causes poor battery life. The battery I had taken out looked bad (it was slightly expanded), but the new one didn't give much improvement. Maybe an hour or two more power a day.
Does Apple design iPhone's to break down and work poorly after 2 years?
Don't be ridiculous. There are plenty of people still using 3G, 3GS and iPhone 4.
You don't be ridiculous. It may not be 100% intentional. I've heard talk about the iOS updates possibly being better designed for the new phones, so they inadvertantly become total power ***** on the older models. But this should be communicated if it is true. And I know tons of iPhone users in NYC. I know 0 who use a 3G or 3GS. And while I know quite a few people still with their 4 like me, 100% of them have horrible battery life.

Does transferring data from prior phone 3G to new phone i5 cause poor battery life?

Does transferring data from prior phone 3G to new phone i5 as a part of phone activation cause poor battery life?

No

Very Poor Battery Life on Iphone 5. Apple has no solution.

So I noticed extremely poor battery life on my iphone 5 around 3 weeks ago. This means 2.5-3 hrs usage and 10-11 hrs standby. I went to the apple store and they recommended to restore and set up as new. I did that but the problem persisted. They ran the diagnostic test on my phone and turns out the battery was healthy. So, it was definitely a software bug.
I went again to the store after "set up as new". They said that I did not charge to 100% (which I have been doing) based on their "data" and hence my battery life is bad. This is a stupid reason. I showed them numerous screen shots of my phone down to 1% after a 100% charge, but the so called "genius" refused to believe me. This was one of the most irritating apple employees I have ever met. He kept giving me his weird theories on battery life.
(Just to clarify, I tried all battery life improvement methods(turning off network, push mail, background app refresh and location services) over the past two weeks and hence went to the apple store. Also, I am studying computer science and have a reasonable idea about this stuff.)
After they were unable to clearly diagnose the issue because their diagnostic was not giving them data, they decided to replace my battery, which they did. But the problem STILL persists. They asked me to come back in a week if i still have the issue.
I am really irritated with the apple support and the issue I am facing. Below is a screensshot of my phone after a 100% charge. The numbers speak for themselves. Anyone facing similar issuse or have any suggestions? Any help is appreciated.

Went to apple again. Same problem. Drains 5% an hour on standby with everything shut and airplane mode. They said this is "normal" and REFUSED to replace my phone as the battery health was normal. They say, "The hardware is ok, so we cannot replace the phone". I had them do a full restore from recovery mode. DId not help.
Just to reiterate. I have done EVERYTHING- restore, full restore, shut apps, turned of location services, wifi, network, push mail, BG app refresh and reduced motion and set auto-lock to 1 min. Even auto-brightness is off and screen is at 30% brightness.
Now I am stuck. Poor battery and uncompramising apple. This is perhaps making me anti-apple from an apple fan.
Just wanted to ask, are such usage times and standby times normal? They are much less than what apple claims.

Seem to have found the cause of my poor battery life...

I've been getting pretty poor battery life on my iPhone bought a few weeks ago, I never figured out why until a few days ago.
It seems that my display won't completely turn off. After I press the sleep/wake button, the screen goes black, icons disappear and screen is unresponsive, however, if I wait a few hours, it seems like the screen's backlight turns on by itself. The icons don't comeback and the iphone doesn't "wake-up" but I can definitely see that the screen is on and is displaying a black screen. Sometimes, I can see banding in the screen as well.
Obviously I've tried rebooting but I'll wait for a few more days before doing a restore.
So anyone else out there with poor battery life, keep a close eye on your screen and see if you're having the same problems. Best time to look is in the morning when the phone's been asleep for a few hours.
Thanks!

tman: that's the first thing I tried, but it still prints off to the left and slightly moved up. My printer is a Konica Minolta C253. My predecessor has left files on the computer that print just fine, but when I use them as a template and put my own graphics in, it works some of the time and then for no reason just decides to stop printing in the center. I think it might have to do with the positioning of the paper in the printer....?

Droid Pro, Poor battery life

I need a new phone to replace my old Blackberry. I was ALMOST sold on the Droid Pro until I read the reviews and ALL said "extremely poor battery life" . Has this problem been fixed or are there plans to fix this problem in the future?

Coming from a blackberry you are going to have to get use to the battery life on droids..they are two different beasts
I could go 4 days on my blackberry with 3 emails sync'd, texting and reading some news apps..
I can't get more than 8 hours of use on my droid without having to charge it, but the screen is much larger and i'm doing different things..
If you don't work somewhere you can't charge your phone or don't have a car charger you might not want to go with any droid
There are apps like juice defender that will help you set protocols but the success rate varies
Also check out the pro, the keyboard is much smaller than a standard blackberry keyboard..might as well go with the droid X
