Poor battery performance and poor earphones and no...

My new lumia 520 doesn't last 2.5 hrs with data connection on without any downloading. Even with data connection off and background programs blocked battery drains too quickly. That's too bad for a phone. Am I to keep the phone always in standby and not use it. I have to charge the phone atleast twice daily.
The phone doesn't have an equalizer. Music sounds flat. The earphones do not have volume control, or any controls like forward, rewind or call disconnect.
pdf documents in sd card are not detected. There is no file explorer . These features need to be taken care of for even a phone let alone a smart , next generation phone that Nokia claims this is.
The battery and earphones are too upsetting.

This is a user to user forum. If you want a reply from Nokia, you should use the Nokia Support tab at the bottom right of this screen.

IPhone 4S Poor Battery Performance SOLVED!!

iPhone 4S Poor Battery Performance SOLVED!!
I found the issue with the iPhone 4S battery performance.
I bought 2 iPhone 4S models on the first day. One for my wife and one for me. The strange thing was that mine would kill the battery in 4-6 hours and ran VERY WARM to the touch. My wife's phone worked great. It was cold to the touch. She would forget to charge it at night... and the battery performance was great... even better than our prior 3GS models.
What was the difference? I have my phone connected to Exchange for my corporate email. But exchange is not exactly the problem. The issue is in Notification Center. For some reason, I had hundreds of calendar reminders that kept refreshing on notification center. Furthermore, the reminders would flicker between the time remaining and the start time for the event at such a fast rate that it could not be read... (clearly a bug)
What is the solution? Go to Settings>Notifications>Calendar and disable Notification Center. You can still have the "alert style" set to Banners, or Alerts and you will still receive notices about your events, but it will not BUILD a summary in the Notification Center drop down screen. This is where the BUG exists. [Oddly, this does not affect my iPad 2, but is an issue for iOS 5 on the iPhone (different builds, maybe?)]
So, it appears that Notification Center has an endless loop in collecting the calendar events from Exchange and this is burning up our 4S batteries. Once you stop the madness from Notification Center, your iPhone 4S will perform as advertised.
Enjoy!

Poor Battery Performance on MacBook With Snow Leopard

Upon installing Snow on my MacBook Unibody, my battery performance has degraded from approximately 5 hours on a full charge to now less than 2.5 hours. Has anyone else experienced such? I am set up for maximum power saving in battery mode and mainly surf the web and use Pages on occasion while on battery mode. Upon allowing the battery to drain, it indeed lasted only 2.5 hours with just web surfing. I tried a few startups and repaired disk permissions, yet the menu continued to show 2.5 hours on a full charge. Advice anyone?

Snow Leopard has been a power hog so far. I have the same settings and applications, etc. as with running just Leopard. I went from 5-7 hours on my black MacBook (that's with running videos, etc.) to now just barely 2 hours.
I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro a couple of days ago and it only lasts a few hours. Nowhere near the boost they advertise.
Either my old Black MacBook just had an awesome battery or the new software upgrade ***** juice. I am getting ready to wipe the upgrade. I was satisfied with Leopard and Tiger. I rather have all day performance than having to drag the cord out everywhere like you do with a PC. I expect a PC to suck juice and give me only 45min. battery, but not my MacBook.

Zen Micro: Poor Battery Performance Even with Firmware Upgr

The Zen Micro's battery life is advertised to last up to 2 hours, but I am only getting approximately 7.5 hours. I have installed the latest firmware v.0.03 upgrade, and fully charged and discharged both batteries at least fi've times each (using the USB and AC adaptors before plutting into outlet). Before the firmware upgrade I was getting just under six hours of battery life. For testing purposes I am using 28kbps MP3 files, volume level 8, no EQ setting, no backlighting, and the headphones that came with the product. Since I have the player sitting on my desk, without being listened to, there's no skipping or forwarding of music tracks. Gi'ven the non-demanding settings, the battery performance is disappointing.
I have contacted tech support and they want me to send in my player for repair or replacement. It seems this issue is prevalent for all Zen Micros and I don't want to send mine in to have it returned all scuffed and scratched and not fixed (or get some grimy second-hand, refurbished model instead).
So I want to confirm that others are experiencing this same problem before I decide what to do. It seems it would be best to get another one from Amazon instead of going through the hassle of repair.

I notified Amazon of the problem on Friday and got a brand new replacement on Monday. Talk about great service.
Unfortunately the replacement is a crapper also. My second Zen Micro immediately and completely locks up when plugging in the USB cable. Since I didn't return my original unit yet, I was able to try another cable but got the same results. I fully charged the batteries, tried all of the various recovery mode options, and still had the Creative drivers/software previously installed on my computer from before. I'm running WinXP SP2 with up-to-date patches, and no other software installed since. My PC's motherboard has built-in USB 2.0 support (with power mgmt turned off) and updated drivers and BIOS, but these things shouldn't be an issue anyway since it worked fine with the first Zen Micro. I'm not able to upgrade the firmware, let alone transfer music, because of the lockup problem. I build and fix PCs for friends and coworkers all the time so I'm confident in my trouble-shooting abilities.
The second Micro makes the first one seem perfect. I really wanted to like this MP3 player, but two defecti've products in a row is totally unacceptable to me. What a waste of my time. I should have been more suspicious about Creative products since my Muvo TX FM player was buggy as well (i.e. player would immediately shut down when powering on). I will check out the Rio Carbon or iRi'ver products instead.

Brand New MBP and Poor Battery Performance

I just bought a new 13-inch MacBook Pro to replace my stolen white MacBook (the Feb 2009 version). On the old MacBook, I got about 2.5 - 3 hours for the battery. This new MacBook, purchased about two weeks ago with Snow Leopard pre-installed, lasts, at most, 1.5 - 2 hours.
Is this really the expected battery longevity for a new MacBook Pro? Apple's claims are wild but I wouldn't have believed this much variance. When I look, it appears that even less is running than used to. The CPU usage stays very low for a long time during the day, sleeping on and off. Since the battery is not switchable by the user, this makes it tough under conditions where an electrical outlet is not available (like conferences).
Is there maybe a third-party easily replaceable battery out there so something else I can do? For long battery life, is the white MacBook a better choice?
Thanks!

Hi mwfanelli,
What you're experiencing with the 13" MacBook Pro is not normal. I have the same model laptop and I get 4+ hours under pretty decent load, I've gotten almost 6 hours off a full charge on several occasions.
To answer your question, there currently is no 3rd party offering for Apple's new design. There are 3rd party external power options but they can get pretty costly.

Poor WAAS Performance with Veeam Backup and Replication

I have two wae-574's doing inline interception on a T1 line. I'm doing Veeam replication across that T1 Line (or attempting to). It appears that I'm getting roughly zero acceleration during the veeam jobs and it doesn't make much sense why. Other applications are being accelerated. The WAN to LAN statistics never jump over 1.5 megabit when running the job. I'm not sure what to do at this point.
10.30.1.44 is my Veeam Box. It's a Virtual Machine on the source side. I've run the show stat command on the remote waas unit.
Veeam is setup to use appliance mode, with no compression (thinking the WAAS would do the magic).
RemoteCiscoWaas#show stat con | include 30.1.44

Any Ideas?
Thanks..

It works now! I had to set the VMware-VMconsole policy to full acceleration on each WAAS device involved in the Veeam traffic (thanks for the help on the veeam forum). Veeam uses port 902 in network mode for replication which was already assigned to a policy but set to TFO only as it's generally just console traffic. Seeing 12 Megabit peaks from a T-1 Line.. Nice!

Lenovo T420s Poor Battery/Performance

Hi, so I recently bought a used T420s off ebay. Everything is going swimmingly with the exception of the battery that came included was almost dead.
The specs of the laptop:
- Core i7-2620M
- Intel HD 3000 / Nvidia NVs 4200m
- 8GB 1333mhz
- Samsung 240GB SSD
I just purchased a new battery along with the ultrabay battery. With full charge on both, I am only getting 3 hours at most with the lowest brightness. I am no beginning with installing software, and reformatting myself with Windows 7, and I believe I have all the non-bloatware software. So I don't believe I have any software that is making the computer waste battery. This problem persists when I used integrated graphics only.
One thing I have noticed is that my computer gets really hot, even when just watching netflix, it will peak 100 degrees celcius, the video will lag and the audio will become distorted at that point. One possible solution I had in mind was that the thermal pads used with the heatsink are worn out and am planning on replacing with my own thermal paste when I have the time.
Anyone have any other possible solutions or theory behind what may be causing this problem? Or is this just a common problem with T420s? Thanks!

Hi
I am T420s end user, but I am using I5 CPU,
All of we know i7 is not suitalbe for s series, since the s series design is too small for make the hot air out soon.
You better way is first try to upgrade your BIOS first see can fix it or not.
Then on power model choose Balanced Mode in your Windows.
If all not work, try send back the machine to the ebay within refund date. And buy a T420s with i5 CPU, this one will not run very hot, until you choose high performance mode let it run at full speed few hour.
About the s series battery life. it gneral only can work at balance mode about 2:30 to 3:00 hour is gneral. Don't beleive the AD said can 10 hours etc. No notebook can do like this, expect Mac Notebook with real big battery.
Hope this help.

Audigy 4 and Front Earphone and Microphone Po

Is there a place on the card to install these ports?
I have just bought a new computer case and it has front audio and microphone ports but I'm not 00% sure if I can install these onto the card. There's a place on my motherboard but that would use the onboard sound and I don't want to use that as it will create a conflict.
Thanks for the help.

NOKIA N95 EXTREMELY POOR BATTERY

Hei.
I have bought Nokia N95 last week and returned it today after extremely poor battery performance. I observed following things:-
1) I charged the battery full early in the morning at 6. I recieved just one call at 9 and my battery was finished at 2:30. Just for 8 hours standby time?
2) I charged it fully, used GPS for 30 mins and battery was finsihed after 3 hours? What was that?
3) I fully charged the battery connected to WIFI and did chat on MSN for around 1 hour and battery was finished exactly after 3.5 hours.
Nokia builtup so great device and with so much poor battery?
We will be getting battery replacement? or nokia will be releasing some new battery in future for N95?
Anyone if having same problem with battery please post comments here or its just with my device?
Waqar.

selling my n95 on ebay
battery is too poor
i need a phone that dosent need charging 2x 3x every day just for average general use
gonna go back to my n73 battery is much better operating system is nice and stable after v4 on n73-- i hate the key miss bug in the v12 firmware on n95 --
i dont need wifi
dont like maps and in built gps as it takes so long even with the assisted thing turnt on
my n73 and tomtom is up and running in 1 min max via bluetooth gps
allthough it would be handy to have the inbuilt one when i didnt have my reciever but my battery would prob drain after 1-2 hours :-)
my gps reciever goes for at least 6 hours constantly connected probs much longer and that only cst 30 quid
dunno i was just much more satisfied with the n73 as a contract upgade
even the slider seems loose
this device is supposed to cost 500+ quid on nokias website
if i paid that i would be sooooo dispaointed
just my view
if your near a power source all the time or are in the car with a charger youd prob be ok but i just think nokia could/should have put a better battery in there i mean it plays music for like 3-4 hours then batterys drained a half decent mp3 player will last 10-15 hours and my n73 does 5-6 no probs :-)
cheeses it even more they release the american nokia n95 with bigger battery

Lumia 720 poor battery

Few days back i got Lumia 720, flaunted by best battery reviews. But from day 1 i am experiencing poor battery performance. WiFi,data,nfc,Bluetooth,background service,sync all off, but battery still drains fast. After full charge it does not last more than 12 hrs. Even in one night it drains 10%for nothing.
while other people say they need to charge around every 2.5days approx, i have to charge every 12hrs & that too without enjoying the phone apps. I believe there is some battery problem. Totally unexpected. Pls suggest anyone..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My 4 days old Lumia 720 too shows some battery draining issues like others.
After charging to 100% it shows 1 day 6 hours remaning, **bleep**? People are getting more than a day, like 2 in some cases. At least it should hold itself for 1 and half day where here I am getting "9-10 hours/16-17 hours of last recharge."
I tried draining the battery to 0, but at 2% Lumia powers down. I did a complete charge and still nothing.
Did a soft recent, nope no chages at all....still 9-10 hours max !!
My approx usage:-
WhatsApp for max 30minutes
FB, Twitter, LinkedIn all combined a 30minutes
2 to 2 and half hours of calls whole day
Decent rate for messaging through message app
Camera for 10-15 minutes
No Games, if any then may be for 5-6 minutes
Browsing for 20 minutes
apps such as calculator, calender, note, PDF reader, Office for 1 hour
Other small fiddiling (reArraging tiles, assinging pics to contacts, etc)
battery Saver on
Background app is blocked, the ones Windows have allowed me to block
Brightness set to low
Wi-Fi is off, though Data conection is on throughout
Gmail is sent o recive mails ever hour, if any
How on earth is it taking so much battery?

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.

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.

Where exactly did you buy this new 5S?

How do I block an ad that opens up a new Firefox window and keeps telling me my system performance is poor? I can't even capture the link.

This particular ad, supposedly from a Windows Certified Partner, opens in a second Firefox window and keeps flashing the message that my System Performance is Poor, wanting me to click on their ad and let them do whatever nasty things they want to my system. I have not been able to capture the path but next time it comes up, I will write down all that I can see.
If I have closed my main Firefox screen first, and then close out this ad, the next time I open Firefox, the ad opens and all my standard tabs are gone, requiring me to reopen each one seperately (Facebook, Google, etc).

Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it.

I have recently upgraded my ipad mini to iOS 6.0.2 and still have poor wifi performance. My 3rd generation ipad works great on the same network. I have done all the resets I can think of but nothing helps. I would not have purchased the mini had I known.

On the same wifi network, third generation ipad, iphone4s and MacBook Pro work just fine. The ipad mini often can not connect with the mail server and seems to hang a long time trying to open a web page. Had I known the mini had this kind of difficulty on wifi, I would have reconsidered my purchase. I have tried resetting the network and renewing the lease on the mini in addition. To completing the most current iOS upgrade. Still poor wifi performance. Unacceptable, in my opinion.

Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

Extremely Slow Startup, Blue Screen, and Poor Performance

Hello,
A couple of weeks ago my MBP 15" (late 2009 model) started performing really poorly. The colour wheel would spin for about 2 minutes if a launched any applications and everything was really slow. It also took about 10 minutes on the grey apple screen to startup and then another 10 or so on the blue screen before slowly revealiing my desktop.
I took it into the genius bar and the said it might be a corrupt file on the HD. Backed up my HD, zeroed the drive and reinstalled OS. Still the same problems. Ran disk utility several times and got various errors pertaining to HD or RAM.
Took it back into the Genius bar and they ran a long diagnostic on it, came back to me and said it is deifinatly the RAM. I replaced the ram, (2x2GB ddr3-1066 sodimm) and cleared PRam. Still the same startup and performance issues.
Any ideas would be appreciated as this is stressing me out big time as I dont know what else it could be?

Hmm... before this I think I would have restarted the computer in Safe Boot mode which deletes the dynamic-loader shared cache.
Not sure if it is relevant at this point
Safe Boot
# it forces a directory check of the startup volume.
# It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
# In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
# It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
# It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
# It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
# Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.

Did you run the Apple Hardware Test. What is the S.M.A.R.T. status, could be that HD is failing?

Poor battery performance and poor earphones and no...
