Satellite A300-1MZ - Battery working time too short

I've a *toshiba a300-1mz* since last February.
Since first usage, the battery life appears very short.
It's just *1h30m* whit balance mode with wi-fi on
With saving mode, it increases very little.... : *1h45m* max.
I emphasize that if I use some flash games on line or some softwares that use a lot of cpu (more of 60%), its duration decreases to only *1h - 1h10m* max also with saving plane...
I ask all you if all is in the norm...
thanks ...
regards

thanks for the information.
First of all, I wanted to recall that the battery lasts *1h, 45m* only if I set the profile * "energy saving"* with the *brightness of LCD to minimum*
With the profile *"Balanced"* it takes about *1h,30m* with *brightness at 40%*
Finally, *with any profile* (or "energy saving" or"balanced") it takes just over *an hour* with flash games online or with any application that uses a lot of cpu(more of 60%).
I do not understand if it is all normal or not
I also wanted to know how can I check if my battery is *6 cells*, or has less ...
I still think it is really very little, 1h, 30m (if it is actually a 6-cell).
I await further evidence....
thanks...

Re: Satellite A300-1MZ hot area near the touchpad

Hi all.
I've a *Satellite A300-1MZ*
I'd know what lies beneath the touchpad. The area becomes hot enough.
I'd like to know also what is positioned in the bottom left of the notebook, the area becomes a bit hot after a couple of hours of use.
If possible,attached me a pattern that will show me the placement of all components of the notebook.
Thanks
p.s.the cpu temperatures are regular: about *42-45* with normal usage

If you see WLAN switch on the left it does not mean the WLAN card is also placed there.
On the right side is placed main HDD. On the left is additional one.
Your notebook is delivered with one HDD and this means just right side will be/should be more warm than left. Remove cover placed under the left side and you will see there is nothing inside.
Just for your info: WLAN card on Satellite A300 is placed under the keyboard (in the middle) and not near the WLAN switch.

After upgrading to iOS 8 the iPhone 5c start freezing, battery life is too short, etc.

After Upgrade to iOS 8 the iPhone 5c start freezing, battery life is too short, and to open an app it as to restart the phone.
How to downgrade to iOS 7.
Thanks,
<Re-Titled By Host>

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device without using any backup would be the next step:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

Satellite A300-1mz boot Vista too long

Hi all...
I'm asking for your support for a strange kind of problem that afflicts my *a300-1mz* since first day.
*The booting of the O.S*.(windows vista home edition) *is too long* for my patience. *Its duration* is more than *2min,30sec*.
Incredible for a dual core2duo and 4gb ram.
The screen *"please wait"* stays for most of the time.
I use always the hibernation function but sometimes I need to reboot and its duration is too long.
I'm asking you for a solution.
Thanks

Hi,
I advise you to check programs and utilities in startup option. You can start this typing in RUN msconfig.

As I now Tempro utility (Fingerprint utility if available)takes pretty much time as it scans for update
2. Defragment your drive with any defragmentator like Diskeeper, Raxco Perfect disk, clean the whole system (registry, remove duplicated folders) with program like Winutility, Tuneup

Satellite L750-X5315 - Battery remaining time

Hello,
I got Satellite l750-x5310 yesterday and I tested it through and through. While running the tests on battery the backup was not as promised. Here is how I performed the battery test
1) I shut down the notebook
2) charged it for three hours 100%
3) disconnected adapter
4) powered on the notebook (cheked battery status, it showed 100%) and started using it for JUST internet email and USB data transfers no videos no gaming etc on "eco power saver plan". HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM COMES:
The batery sometimes shows 95% (4 HOURS REMAINING) after 5 mins 89% after 10 mins 76 % (2 HOURS REMAINING) and sometimes jumps back to 80% and after 1.5 hours from power on the notebook shuts down ann shows low battery indicator (orange) on front panel refusing to power on without adapter plugged in. I did the test three times
I need to know whats the actual battery backup of this notebook. Is this normal and is the battery run time 1.5 hours on eco plan without adapter when fully charged or 4 hours as promised by TOSHIBA?
Kindly help, thanks in advance

Hey,
Before you start with some battery tests I would recommend recharging the battery 5-10 times that it reaches the full capacity and performance. Otherwise you cant make realistic tests and 3 times recharging is not enough.
Regarding your tests some word of advice: The battery operation time on Toshiba website is checked with lowest screen brightness, without attached devices, eco mode power profile and if you do *nothing* on the computer. Internet and email needs battery power and not less. So you can make a test if of battery life if you do nothing but not with doing some work on the notebook.
Everything what you do no on the computer needs battery power ;)

Re: Is there a way to check any electrical problems on my Satellite A300-1MZ?

as itle I check for any *electronic problems* on my toshiba a300- 1mz
Unfortunately I suspect that there is any problem and therefore I require your support.
In the majority of PC-desktop I find direct utility to check all the voltages(of motherboard and connectors) but with my notebook as I do??? ...
I hope you know to help me ...
regards....

I apologize that I answer only now
I've read the *warranty terms* but *I dont found explicit references to the replacement of the disk.*
How can I do to be sure of *no warranty lose for replacement*?
however, about the cracking of disk, it was appeared since first boot.
I had to contact the support, and they done me to *perform some controls* on the new notebook (only a *CHKDSK* and a *boot-tool* for checking the integrity of the disk that I can not remember the name) and for them it's all ok,no error, no problem..and they said me literally:
+if you have no problems in the functioning of the notebook you can not send anything in warranty ... +
a true delirium...
since the beginning, it was really noisy....
I'd like to avoid spending money but if I have *no warranty right* I want to replace it and I hope it does not have other problems of noise
I'd like to buy *a bigger hdd but a little more noiseless*

Satellite A300-1mz Can I use the recovery disks after a HDD upgrade?

I'm upgrading the hard drive of my *toshiba a300-1mz*, but I'd be sure that I can use the *recovery disks* maked at the first boots for the s.o. (vista)
I expect your support...
thank you very much...

> how can I be sure that the disk is properly recognized before I buy it???
What do you mean exactly? Did you mean the HDD???
The A300 supports and 2.5 SATA HDD and all 2.5 HDD should be recognized properly since the SATA HDD controller hasnt any limitations.

Hello
I have a macbook pro 2011 13" that came with OS Lion (integrated not on a disk). I recently bought OS Mountain Lion of the app store and it is working fine. However I was a bit dissapointed in the battery so I decided to try and downgrade and completely failed, I froze the computer and when I restarted it it did not work. I went into recovery system and erased my disk and all that and went to re-download my OS. I was expecting to get the option to re-download Lion but instead I could only re-download Mountain Lion.
My question is since my computer originally came with Lion can I reset my computer so I get OS Lion back instead of OS Mountain Lion?
Thanks for any help. Any answer will be appreciated even if it is saying it is not possible.

Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
    1.    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2.    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    3.    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    4.    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Kappy, a pretty wonderful and very knowledgeable man, has tip for that which I have copied and pasted above

IPod touch 4th Generation Battery Life Is Too Short!

Ok whats going on is that after 10 to ll hours the battery is at 20%. I dont even use my iPod that MUCH thats right not that often. Only time I use it is to sometimes play a game for like 10 to 20 minutes at most. Maybe watch a video or two maybe three and listen to music. But I've notice that I dont use it much but the battery drains quickly and I just got it in late August (2012). I even set the brightnest to the lowest to give me maxium battery life nope that doesnt help too much just gives me an extra hour at most. Another thing I turn off my notifications so the screen doesnt keep turning on and off. I do the double tap home button to close the apps that resume after I left the app. All sounds are silent what else could I possibly do to save battery life turn it off completely. I'm charging this thing every night for crying out LOUD!!!

That's not a problem. Apple will fulfill the warranty no matter where it was purchased. Enter your serial number here to check if you are still covered: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do

Satellite R630-14T - Battery recharging time

EDIT of PERSONAS not working. TOO SHORT No More Room. HELP!!

Hello, I CANNOT go to your "Persona message boards". The CLOSEST thing I can find on your site appears to be: some kind of user "forum". BUT: I cannot GET there!!! It sends me to a google groups page (EVERY TIME) and asks for (WHAT KIND?????!!) some password and user name -apparently NOT the one I use with Firefox Personas.
OK:
Your Re: Your Persona has been successfully edited EMAIL states that I have "successfully updated" my Persona 'KATSUI'!
WRONG.
I went into Edit (update) to change the "accent" color. Submitted and got the usual thank you, successful message. But It has NOT changed. It remains the same overly bright electric purple bar at top.
In my EDIT session I changed that color to a dark blue/violet.
The change does NOT show, either in use of the persona skin (I have chosen it for my own browser) -OR in the SAMPLE ...or whatever that is called that I can pull up on the gallery page -OR upon viewing my supposed "change".
I did it RIGHT by the way. That is not the problem. I know (thoroughly) how to input html color codes. I merely selected the color, then the color # populated the 'accent color' box and I saw correct hue showing and finished by submitting. This was all hours ago. Your message (below) came in since.
WHY does my Persona Accent color NOT CHANGE?
Also:
It would be VERY good for your "create your own persona" page to have some basic info. I thought (GUESSED actually, after futily looking for anything explaining or defining it) that this referred to an offset accent to the TEXT font -which would allow clear reading in any background graphics.
THere was NO way for me to know that ACCENT referred to a TOP BAR. I now have this terribly distracting ELECTRIC PURPLE BAR at the top. Yuchhh!
I would LOVE to change it.
Your EDIT system has a breakdown SOMWHERE, I don't know where.
Can you tell me WHAT TO DO NOW to really CHANGE that color?
THANKS!!!
P.S.
Your WHOLE ADD-ON set-up is incredibly over-complex. I cannot even GET BACK to PERSONAS now, because SOME password is needed (NOT my personas password) to get back there.
HELP please.

Here's another one from November 13th.
'Good morning one & all,
We've been cranking out code with the RED team, lining up for the same schedule.
Next week we'll ship a full native workflow for RED in Premiere Pro CS4, After Effects CS4 and even Encore CS4 (the RED to Blu workflow).
We've come a long way since the IBC demos --- more performance, more stability, more options, and tuning it to CS4 which is architected for 64 bit systems so that you can stuff it full of memory and get that smooth as butter experience.
Import your R3D files, change resolution on the fly, pop into full resolution for some detail work, drop all the way down to 1/16th for fast cuts on a laptop --- it's all there.
We're right up to 2K at full performance with the latest drop.
Oh, and did I mention that we're working the RED gang on exposing more control on the realtime de-bayering ? ... and of course with Assimilate on making it a full, clean, raw end to end workflow ?
Expect the importer to be posted with RED and linked from Adobe before Thanksgiving. Nov 20th is looking like the date (not that dates ever change).
Many thanks to our beta-testers ... you've been awesome turning things around and helping us shape the future.
It's cool.
It's Christmas come early.
Enjoy.'

Battery life seems too short on new macbook pro 15 with retina display

Wireless is set to off because the computer is connected by hardwire, bluetooth setting is off, and iCloud backup for various apps are checked (on). Battery seems to drain even when the computer is sleeping. Is this normal?

Here is a run down of my computer usage.
100% charge @12:00 midnight, placed in sleep mode
97% charge remaining @6:00pm, no use since midnight
Financial program use 6:05pm-6:15pm; 93% remaining charge
Facetime use 6:15pm-6:25pm; 89% remaining charge
Routine use (switching between financial, Mail, Calendar, and Safari programs) 6:25pm-6:55pm; 80% remaining charge
Sleep mode 6:55pm-8:05pm; 80% remaining charge
Routine use 8:05pm-11:45pm; @9:05pm 60% charge remaining, @10:05pm 37% charge remaining, @11:45pm 0% charge - reserve power, @11:47pm dead.
80% charge only lasted 3-3/4 hours; that seems rather short.

Satellite A300 - Can I work without shared memory?

*I want to work with my A300 without Shared Memory!*
*Can I or not?!*
*and does Toshiba have a Notbook Product , that it doesn't have Memory Shared?!*

Hello
I think its not possible to work without shared memory because the graphic card needs video RAM and this is depending on the RAM.
If you want to work without shared memory you need a full graphic card with her own memory and this is not possible because the mainboard and BIOS does not support this or lets say there is no slot where you can put in the graphic card.
