Problems after Battery Update

After I installed the battery firmware update from the software update, the battery gets to about 50% and my computer just loses power. I hit the button on the battery and 3 out of 5 lights light up. When i try to boot i get the gray screen and soon after it loses power again. Before the update i was getting a good 2+ hours of work, now it is down to an hour.
If its some thing i cant fix myself, I dont have an apple care plan, so will this cost me?

Same Exact Problem Here. After the Update, my battery barely lasts an Hour...
My batter got b/w 2 to 2.5 hours prior to the update...
It's unreal...
I love my MBP, but when I first got in August of Last Year, the problem was Airport didn't work well and had horrible connectivity to wireless networks;
Then, they finally fixed that problem months later. Now, it's The batter...
I really do think that apple products, are, in general, better than much of the competition; but I really do wish they they would work out more kinks (R & D) prior to putting products out there...
I do have applecare, but dealing with applecare is like dealing w/ the BUSH Administration; it's all about deniability...
BTW, I don't know if you read about it; But, supposedly the warranty on ALL MBP Batteries was extended for an additional year beyond the factory warranty of a year, so you should still be covered if you have a MBP that was manufactured last year...
Good Luck,
David

  • Problems after Battery Update 1.4

    Has anyone noticed that since installing the Battery Update 1.4, their battery life has been reduced significantly? Prior to the patch I was getting a good several hours from a full charge, now I am lucky to get 1.5 hours.
    Also, while the patch was meant to improve the Macs ability to +'maintain its charge when shut down and not used for an extended period'+, I immediately noticed the first night that I shut down with 3/4 battery and woke up the next morning with 1/4.
    I have read of several people having issues with the battery not charging or taking a long time to charge - I haven't noticed if I am having this trouble as well.
    Anyone??

    My battery was great I never had to take my charger with me, but after Battery Update 1.4 my battery only lasts half as long now, and if I didn't use it for a week my battery was still 80%-90% now if I don't use it for a week I only get half an hour before I have to plug it in.
    THIS UPDATE HAS CAUSED THE PROBLEMS THAT IT WAS MEANT TO FIX!
    I only installed this update to be a good little consumer and have now ruined the performance of my macbook, I have tried to uninstall it and rollback to the previous version with out success.
    Please help?

  • Problems after Battery Update 1.2

    Hello.
    I have downloaded the Battery Update 1.2. Since i have installed the update, my macbook won't go in stand-by modus if my battery is empty. The macbook takes a hard shut-down.
    Have anybody a solution?
    Thanks, Hoppsi.

    Contact apple at the number in this. Sounds like you need anew battery. Mine was doing this also and I needed a new battery.

  • Multiple Samsung Stratosphere problems after FF1 update

    There have been multiple posts on various issues users have found after the recent Stratopshere FF1 update.  Some were replys to older posts and some only touched on a single issue.  I wanted to consolodate into one thread, and hopefully get teh attention of Verizon to maybe reply here.
    For reference, a lot has been discuss here --> https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/874446
    Summary:  Verizon and Samsung have finally updated the Stratosphere almost 1 year after release.  This updated the phone from Android 2.3.5 to Android 2.3.6.  Going by filename, this is known as the FF1 update.   This update went live at the end of August 2012, and most users were upgraded before mid September 2012.
    There were some noticable changes in this update:
    -Lock screen has changed.  The puzzle piece and glass lock options have been removed.  New options have been added, such as facial recognition unlock.
    -Call answering screen has changed, introducing the option to ignore call with a message.
    -Camera now has digital zoom ability.
    -Ability to uninstall the 2 games the phone comes with (Need for Speed and Lets Golf)
    -Phone icon has changed ever so slightly
    -Wifi icon now included up and down arrows to indicate data is being sent or recieved
    -Wallpaper no longer "stretches" over multiple screens - ie, it no longer scrolls as you move from screen to screen
    -The visual voicemail app has been improved (I have personally not used this feature)
    -Callback number is now supported in text / picture messages
    -Android core OS updated from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 (both versions are still Gingerbread)
    -Update to how the device deals with the end of scrolling.  It used to rubber-band bounce back, now it will just give a green bar and expand the bar as you scroll.  (I cannot fault Samsung for this change as this was at teh core of an Apple lawsuit and has been changed in newer versions of Android.)
    -(I am sure there are more.  please list any others you may have noticed)
    I have found some problems, and others have confirmed that this is (at least) somewhat widespread:
    -The biggest problem is with wifi connectivity.  Upon an initial connection to wifi, everything works great.  After somewhere between 15minutes and 2 hours, problems start happening.  Its as if the wifi keeps hanging or reconnecting.  Download speeds (tested with the SpeedTest.com app) slow to about one third of normal.  Apps like Facebook that require a constant connection will just time out.
    -It appears the signal strength for 3g and 4g connections is lower.  There are places where I used to get a 4g connection, and now I only get 3g.  Some palces I fall back to just 2g digital.
    Another minor issue i found was with text messages.  When you reply to a message, it no longer automatically focuses the text in the input box.  You have to first click into the box to start typing.  Not a huge deal, but one more step to take over and over.  Minor annoyence.
    At my house, I struggle to get a 3g or 4g signal.  I depend on wifi for my data connection.  So with the wifi connection problem introduced by teh FF1 update, my phone is somewhat useless to me now while at home.  Here are teh troubleshooting steps I have been through so far to attempt to fix the wifi problem:
    -Complete factory reset on my phone.  (did not help)
    -Pull battery and SIM card out of phone for 15 minutes.  (did not help)
    -Went to a Verizon store.  The guy at the store was helpful, and said he also had a Stratosphere and was getting the same wifi problems after the update.  He said all he could do was to send me out a replacement phone. I got the replacement phone, and it had the same problems.
    -I read in multiple palces that Android 2.3.6 has a bug within wifi and DHCP.  Apparently if you have a DHCP lease set to "forever", the phone will keep requesting a new address.  Setting the DHCP server on the router to something like 2 weeks, or using a static IP is supposed to solve this.  I have a NetGear N900 router, and I can not change teh DHCP lease time.  It appears, however, that my router is not sending out "forever" leases.  But just to make sure, I gave my phone a static IP.  (None of these steps made any difference).
    The only thing that temporarily fixes the problem is a reboot of the phone.  This will again give you anywhere from 15min to 2 hours of good wifi use before problems start happening.
    I have now had this update for over a week, and on 2 phones.  I still can't maintain a wifi connection for much longer than 15 minutes without problems starting up.
    I am asking Verizon or Samsung to at least confirm this issue if possible.  Maybe there are newer revs of the Stratopshere hardware that don't have this problem.  Or there is something unique about my (and apparently others) situation.  But it seems like Verizon's current stance is to offer a repalcement phone (as currently all Stratospheres are within their 1 year manufacture warranty as the phone has not been ouy for quite 1 year yet).
    I am asking for a workaround for this problem, or a true fix adressed by a new software update, or at least allow us to roll back to the original Andorid 2.3.5 software.
    I have had my original Stratosphere for almost a year with no wifi problems - then get the FF1 update and have had nothing but problems on 2 different phones.
    Thank you for your time.

    Thanks for starting a comprehensive thread on problems with this update. I want to add one more.
    I have Bluetooth in my car (a 2004 model), and previously the phone has connected to it practically instantly when I start the car. Since the update, I have never been able to connect the phone to the car by Bluetooth. Several times the phone has made a standard notification sound at the moment it should be connecting to Bluetooth, though no notification appears. I have no idea what that could mean.The car's Bluetooth shows up as paired in the list of devices in Settings > Wireless & networks > Bluetooth settings. I haven't seen this widely reported as an update issue, but perhaps some others have experienced it too.
    UPDATE: I finally did some testing, and found that the notification was to signal the extremely brief appearance of a dialog indicating that the car's Bluetooth was requesting a connection. Accepting that request let the phone connect with the car, and calls went to the car's sound system as they should. When I turned the car off and back on (just the electrical system; not wasting any gas on this!), the connection was established immediately, so apparently the acceptance only had to be done once. Nevertheless, it did have to be done, and the dialog notification disappears within seconds. I believe it would have been possible to go into Bluetooth settings and accept the connection request there if I missed the notification; but not seeing the notification, I might not know to do this.
    One further observation: When I turned the phone's Bluetooth off and back on after a connection had been established, leaving the car on the whole time, the two did not reconnect. I believe that may be different from before the update, but I'm not really sure.

  • Please Read This To Reduce or Eliminate Problems after Software Update

    Hi all, I have been reading quite a handful of Mac users here reporting problems ranging from minor ones like slow downs to major ones like application crashes, and many of them blame the new OS and/or Security Updates.
    Without learning more from the details of how did they perform their Software Updates and Install, I am making a huge assumption that it maybe something they did or didn't do, one of the key things they did not do is Repair Disk Permission
    Below is what I called, the "ritual procedure" needed to perform before and after a Software Update, and also any other major software installation - to help reduce or eliminate "hiccups" afterwards, I cannot gaurantee that all macs all over the world will not suffer any problems after an update, but by doing so, you may help reduce it; I have 4 macs all together and so far I have not encounter any major problems after many versions updates.
    Anyway, I didn't come out with this series of procedures, I read it off somewhere in this Discussion quite a while ago, and thought I share it again with all of you:
    1.Before starting Software Update, unplug all external devices, FireWire, USB, hubs etc etc, not just turning them off but unplug the cables off your Mac, leave only your keyboard, mouse and internet connection on (unless you are using a wireless keyboard and/or mouse or on wireless internet)
    2.Repair Disk Permission
    3.Restart the Mac, then start your SU, do not run any other apps.
    4.After finishing SU, restart your mac; If you are updating OS or Security Updates, Restart is required.
    5.Repair Disk Permission again
    6.Shutdown and re-plug in everything and start up your mac as normal.
    I know the procedure is pretty long and "troublesome", especially the unplugging and restarting part, but so far it really has done my macs good, so I am going to "swear" by it... my FireWire, USB devices etc still work as normal.
    This is really contrary to that "Macs are easy to use", yes, no doubt about it, but the software updates etc is just well, put it this way: The Mac OS when it comes to updates, is very very delicate... so handle with it great care, it will just turn out okay.
    Cheers

    Thank you for posting that. I posted a similar set of suggestions here:

  • After Battery Update, Battery Tops Off At 96%

    Hi. Have a MacBook and I did the battery update recommendation and now the battery never reaches 100% charge, it always goes to 96% and it runs down much faster. Has anyone else noticed any differences in the MacBook batteries after the update 1.2?
    Thanks steve

    hey, i'm having this same problem but i've been noticing that it's because temperatures are spiking up to 130 C when i run Rember for only 30 seconds. This has only been happening after the battery update, before i was only getting maxed out temps of 75C

  • Problem after recent update!!

    Ok, here's the deal.
    Recently I updated my 30 gig ipod (it was sometime this month, but idk what the day was, and the ipod was bought last summer i think)
    so anyway, after i updated it, it started having these problems:
    first off, when I am watching videos and i touch the click wheel sometimes only the battery will come on, and sometimes only the volume/time only comes on.
    and then i have to reset it (menu and the middle button) for it to work again.
    and then, when i was going through the songs really fast and the letter comes up in the middle (with the gray box around it)
    so it goes from a-z normally, but instead of doing numbers next it puts "G" on there. ***?? and how can i fix this??
    Also, if i do the reset with iTunes (or the one in the settings menu) will it delete all music and stuff like that off of it? Is there a way for me to get around this bcuz i delete the vids offa my comp. after they are on my ipod because i have a really small hard drive. Please help!!!

  • Problems after software updates - iTunes, Sound, Clock and General

    After applying the update to iTunes (7.6.2), it has almost exclusively crashed straight after start up, or after a few seconds of playback. Twice it's worked for a short period, but then crashed when I plugged my iPod in.
    I get this in the Problem Report:
    Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)
    Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE at 0x0000000000000008
    Ire-installed it to no avail.
    A couple of days later I carried out most of the other updates, and ever since things are running slow. Everything down to the trackpad movement is sluggish, even choosing a user and entering my password falters and stalls. Sound seems to skip and struggles to be played if at all, and absurdly my clock is losing time, at a rate of about 50 minutes every hour.
    Taking the battery out and holding down the power button temporarily(about 10 minutes) resolved the sluggishness, after which point it slowed back down.
    These are all the software updates carried out over the last week:
    +iTunes 7.6.2+
    +Macbook EFI Firmware 1.1+
    +iMovie 7.1.+
    +Keynote 4.0.2+
    +Number 1.0.2+
    +iWeb 2.0.3+
    +iPhoto 7.1.2+
    +Keyboard Firmware 1.0+
    +AirPort Utility 5.3.1+
    +Front Row 2.1.3+
    +Digital Camera RAW Compatibility+
    +iPhoto 7.1.3+
    +Leopard Graphics 1.0+
    +Time Machine and AirPort 1.0+
    +Keynote 4.0.3+
    +Security 2008-002 1.1+
    +Safari 3.1+
    I'd be very grateful for any help or pointers as to what may have cause the problems, and how I might go about rectifying them.

  • Start up problems after security update 2014-002

    Hi, after this update sometimes my Mac does not start up like it should: the Dock is not appearing and the screen is flashing between fully grey and thenormal background.  The only cure seems to be to restant a second or third time. Already resetten PRAM, used disk utility (no problems) and repaired permissions. Does anyone else has encountered this problem? Thanks

    I have always had good luck with DiskWarrior. I've had serious issues and DiskWarrior has always come thru .
    Are you nervous because you have never used DW before, or are you afraid it will hose your system?
    By your report, it kinda sounds as if your hard drive has either failed or on it's last leg.
    I'm guessing you had issues with the drive before installing the update and you did not know it. Updates tend to point out problems in a big way sometimes.
    I run repairs on my hard drive before installing any updates.
    I don't remember, does Jaguar have S.M.A.R.T. status in Disk utility? If so, what does it say about your drive?

  • Problems after Airport Update

    I own a 2ghz/2gb MBP running 10.4.7. After I installed the latest Airport Update 001, my computer has been acting up. The MBP now has major issues connecting to my graphite airport, though my eMac (10.3.9 w/latest security update) does not have any issues. The graphite airport has WEP enabled, but the MBP refuses to keep the password in the keychain. Everytime I try to connect to my network (upon wake up or start up) I receive an error stating that there is a problem joining the network. After about 10 seconds, though, it connects. Also, it doesn't recognize that the airport is one of my "trusted networks." Before connecting it says, "none of your trusted networks could be found, would you like to join (my network name)."
    What I have done so far:
    Repaired permissions.
    Created a new user (has same problems).
    Shutdown and restarted all of my computers/router/modem at least 5 times.
    Put the WEP password in the keychain manually.
    Changed the Airport's channel a few times as well.
    MacBook Pro 15", Powerbook 12" G4, eMac G4 & iMac G3   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    After countless nightmares trying to connect to my home network, and one kernel panic, I zapped the update with AppZapper. No problems after that.
    Apple, I'm sorry ,but I think you got this latest SU wrong!

  • Startup Slow Down After Battery Update

    Hi all, I just installed the Battery 1.2 update days ago. The startup speed changed to very slow after the update and thought it's just some effect after update, but after a few times of starting up the machine, it still the same slow speed. Any idea why?
    Edit: Since I'm asking a question, let's ask more at once :P
    I seldom turn off my laptop, many times I find that the folder name messed up, some times even gone, a folder without a name on it too. I turn off / restart every 2 to 3 days, is this the main reason?
