PRS-T1 Battery Discharging Quickly

Hello,
After updating to the latest firmware update (1.0.04.12210), the reader will discharge the battery in 2 to 3 days of light use. I have 4 PRS-T1 readers and all are experiencing the same thing after the firmware update.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Has Sony come up with a solution to this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

IO6 battery discharges quickly and every time I open an application, it crashes and closes

I upgraded to iOS 6 and since then the phone battery discharges quickly and every time I open an application, it crashes and closes. And finally, back to the home screen. I can not send messages, listen to music. And when my friends call me, the link is silent and then back to normal again and then is silent. Can anyone help me? I have an Iphone 4.

Restore your phone as a NEW device, not from backup.

Ipod battery discharges quickly

Ok... I've been through all the FAQ's, suggestions, tips for long battery life, and I still am having my problem.
I began having problems with the battery not holding a charge for more than 12 hours (turned off) and discharging quite quickly (from a full charge, it would be dead in 15 minutes of audio only with no backlight).
Since my Ipod is over a year old and I didn't purchase a service plan (received as a gift), I replaced the battery from a 3rd party vendor. It's working again, however the battery still discharges faster than it's supposed to (about 45 minutes of music alone).
I am wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this, what the solution could have been, and if one of a few situations could be happening:
1. Could there be a condition that would cause some sort of short that would discharge the battery while the unit still performs as expected (menus, plays audio and video fine, etc.)?
2. Is there something that could actually be reading the battery as being dead when it's not?
3. Could it simply be that the battery I purchased is junk and I need to get a new one?
Windows XP

This doesnt answer your problem but i had the same problem with one of my ipods, i took it to pcworld, and all of their technicians had a look of it and none of them could fix it. I then got a new ipod, an the same problem.Aparently it was a software problem or a problem with my computer. Anyway i got a new ipod as mines was still under warranty and i used the new ipod only on my laptop, and havent had the problem since.

Iphone battery discharging quickly

My iPhone battery is discharging very quickly even when phone/ instrument is switched off. could some apps be running in the background on wifi? What do I need to do to prevent this?

I have had Iphones sinc the first one and now have a 4s and over the last few days mine has started discharging very quickly also. I charged it at work yesterday and left work at 6pm and it was at 100% at 8pm it was already down to 70%. There is something that has changed on mine and I can't figure it out. I have turned off Push and Location services so I'll see how it does today. I have not synced it for at least a week so I know there wasn't an update that caused it Mine is also running on 5.1.
I unpluged it this morning at 100% at 8am and it is now 11am and I am at 95% with all the above stuff turned off and it just sitting on my desk in sleep mode.

CoconutBattery says 4778 mAh left from 5020mAh (95%), and 31 months old.
I understand from reading here that 379 cycles would be considered moderately high, but the 95% figure is encouraging to me.
The problem is this: From full charge, I get only 25-30% of the estimated time. It starts at 5+ hours remaining, and drops quickly. I noticed last night that I had ca. 1 hr. remaining, and I had to switch to charger within about 15 minutes.
I have recalibrated the battery multiple times, and reset the SMC multiple times. After this problem started, I began to monitor processor usage and it's typically between 80-95% idle. Only if I watch youtube videos or something does it get busier, but I expect that and I see this problem even when I don't do processor-intensive tasks.
I want to say when I first got this machine there would be times using it that the fan did not run at all. Lately it seems like it runs all the time, albeit slowly/quietly. I just installed smcFanControl to see the rpm and it's at +/-1800 rpm with the cpu ~90% idle and about 56ºC.
I also ran into the "battery indicator X" problem once back in the Spring, but I removed & reinstalled the battery and the problem has not recurred.
Have not contacted Apple yet but I do have AppleCare on the machine. Is it worth taking in? Any ideas as to what might be going on?
Thanks!
EDIT: It also discharges faster than I would expect whilst the machine is asleep.

It's a less common form of failure, but certainly not unheard of.
Modern batteries work by storing energy via chemicals. Some really strong acid to be specific. Every time you pass an electrical current through that acid, you change the chemistry a little bit. Over time, you change it enough that the energy storing properties no longer exist. Different batteries will be altered in different ways because of different circumstances. Yours fell into the broad group of quickly loses charge. If we were to carefully analyze your usage history of the battery, it would probably become clear why yours fell into the category it did... But it's really not worth that kind of effort. At almost 400 cycles, the thing is already on borrowed time, so consider yourself lucky it works at all.

TS3274 iPad battery discharges quickly

My iPad battery doesn't stay charged very long.

The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter..
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

IPad battery discharging quickly.

Guys, I have an iPad "1", model A1219.
Recently the battery is lasting a short time. I have to charge it for more than 1 day and no more than 60% load. Without making any use in an early morning, the battery ends when the day comes.
What can I do?

try clearing the multi-tasking
double click the home button til the bar at the bottom pulls up. your finger down on an app til it starts to jiggle and click on all the red minius sign and see how many you have open

Noika E5 Battery is discharge quickly

Hi All,
I purchased Nokia E5 on 1st May 2012 , i.e. 10 month before, But now from lst 2-3 month
come to know Battery is discharge quickly after making it full charge.
Can you please suggest , what to do ?
Can I get replacement of it , and how much time it will take to check battery ?
Thanks in Advance
Regards
PrashantJ

Is there any change in pattern of use ? Have you started using applications like WhatsApp that may be the reason !!
Anyway, the Warranty on Battery is 6 months so if the Battery itself is at fault then you will have to buy a new one. The actual checking time may be a few minutes but it depends on your local Nokia Care ..

Did all the updates that Apple requested in my 64 GB IPOD and the battery continues discharging very quickly. When this problem will be solved, because before these updates were downloading not the battery so quickly. Did we revive the Steve Jobs to resolve the problem, because each update only worsens the operation. I look forward to a quick, effective and definitive solution. Thank You. Ester

Battery is constantly discharging quickly

battery is constantly discharging quickly. Any workarounds?

Is your battery worn out? How long have you had it? Since the battery is lithium-ion, over time using the battery and charging and discharging over time wears out the battery. If you've had it for a few years, this might be the case. If it is fairly new, it might be just a bad battery. If so, you might need it replaced. The warranty should cover it. If this still does'nt help, describe a little more about the device. Depending on factors of the device the reason could be a lot of things. Hope this can give you pointers. Hope it helps!

Battery discharge: Lion 10.7.2 vs Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Has anyone noticed that Lion consumes more resources than Snow Leopard thus causing faster battery discharge?
YMMV, but it would be interesting to see of others can get similar results. Do you suppose Lion 7.3 will increase or decrease resource usage and what affect will it have on battery life?
I called Apple about the battery discharge issue on my 2 week old MacBook Pro with Lion 7.2. I was only getting about 1/2 of the 7.7 WIFI hours advertised. They gave me the usual "if depends" on WIFI, system settings, applications, etc., i.e. such things as cpu and memory load (paging/swapping=>disk i/o), other disk activity, and a few other things.
My large expenditure on the new MacBook spurred me to investigate what was going on using the Activity monitor. I configured my old MacBook Pro (mid 2009) and my new MacBook Pro (late 2011) with the same system preferences. I reset both the PRAM and SMC on both machines to maximize the battery charge (documented elsewhere).
Obviously, a direct hardware comparison would not be meaningful but when you look at the operating systems there is a significant difference between Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 and Lion OS X 10.7.2. Lion uses much more resources than Snow Leopard.
My Observations:
The first value I list is for OS X 10.6.8 and the second for OS X 10.7.2. I tried numerous other combinations but these nicely summarizes my results.
1) I started with only the Activity monitor, iTunes Helper, and Epson EEventmanager manager running, No WIFI or any other user processes
CPU % idle               : 98.75 vs 99.4 (i.e. both machines were literally idle)
No. of threads           : 179   vs 277 --> + 55%
Kernel threads           : 60    vs 82   --> +37%
Processes                : 41    vs 54   --> +32%
Wired Memory MB          : 480   vs 864 --> +80%
Active Memory MB         : 198   vs 407 --> +106%
Memory Used GB          : 0.808 vs 1.32 --> +63%
Percentage of 4 GB       : 20%   vs 33% --> +65%
Virtual Machine size GB : 96    vs 149 --> +55%
2) With WIFI and Safari added
CPU % usage              : 72.9 vs 91.02 (i.e. both machines were not very busy)
No. of threads           : 253 vs 376 --> +49%
Kernel threads           : 60   vs 82 --> +37%
Processes                : 51   vs 63 --> +24%
Wired Memory MB          : 669 vs 1007 --> +51%
Active Memory MB         : 600 vs 1190 --> +98%
Memory Used GB          : 1.57 vs 2.47 --> +57%
Percentage of 4 GB       : 39% vs 62% --> +59%
Virtual Machine size GB : 131 vs 191 --> +46%
Look especially at the percentage of memory used. In either case, I measured no paging nor swapping. But, as you can see, with the increase of memory used with Lion when WIFI and Safari were added you could quickly push the memory as more process are added and start paging and swapping to/from disk hence use more battery charge.
The increase in number of threads, processes, memory usage, virtual machine size, and WIFI activity would imply that Lion would have to consume more battery charge than Snow Leopard as you use more cpu/memory to chase more threads.
I looked at WIFI usage and it involves a lot of chatter between the computer and the internet. Over time a lot of packets are sent/received even when no data is being passed and would be a drain on the battery. There would be a greater drain when there is data passed because of the additional CPU and memory needed. But, in todays world, you cannot run without an ethernet or WIFI connection because of the dependency on the information/data on internet cloud.

MacBook Pro 13", mid 2009, OS X 10.6.8, 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 5400 rpm Hard Drive

Battery discharging faster since ipad 3 upgrade why ?

since upgrading my ipad3 the battery discharges more quickly anyone else got this problem?

What did you upgrade? Should be the same. Have you checked your brightness setting?
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

I have just got my new iPhone 4 white and the battery drains quicker than it should. How would I fix this?

I got my new iphone 4 white 32GB today and the battery drains quicker than it should

So based on that you're saying around 6 hours discharge? That sounds about right if you're on the web using 3G. Games and apps eat up the battery faster.
Talk time:
Up to 7 hours on 3G
Up to 14 hours on 2G (GSM model only)
Standby time: Up to 300 hours
Internet use:
Up to 6 hours on 3G
Up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
Knowing what you were using it for would help
