Satellite T110-10N - How to recalibrate my battery?

Hi
I have a Satellite T110-10N. The battery does not load 100% only on 50%. I like to know how recalibrate it.

Hello
If you have it only for 4 months, its covered by warranty. Even the battery pack I think
So please contact ASP in your country and explain your problem. Normally you should get a new battery for free.
Here is a list where you can search for technicians:

Satellite L755-S5153 How to calibrate bew battery?

No matter how long I charge my new battery, the max charge it will report is 99%. Will calibrating fix this problem? And how do I calibrate a new battery?
Thanks for the help!

TheJake
This is not a calibration problem.
Newer windows versions keep the charging % at 99 for reducing Li battery stress (oh, yes, they do) and give you a longer usefeul life.

Satellite P10-804: How to enable the battery icon visible on the task bar?

how do I do enable the battery icon visible on the task bar? currently I can only have the type of power save mode e.g. bulb & colour.
I have tried to activate right clicking taskbar/properties/notification areas, found required icon & instructed to always show, however the batery icon remains hidden.
Help??

One question: Did you try to set several settings in the Windows own power options?
However, I would say some registry keys are corrupt and therefore the battery icon cannot be displayed in the task manager.
Probably only the new installation can help you displaying the icon in the task bar.

Satellite T110-10R with Realtek 8187se - connection drops on battery

Hi my friends,
there is a big issue with my laptop.
wlan signal strength: very good
other laptops do not have these issues in this network.
so, here my problem:
on AC mode, there are no problems with the wireless connection, but on battery mode, my wlan keeps on disconnecting, connecting, disconnecting, connecting... sometimes, this happens several times in one single minute! this is quite painful and annoying.
this happens with different wireless network, tried it on different ones - not just my home network
my system:
Toshiba Satellite T110-10R with Realtek 8187se
Windows7 64bit.
here a short overview on things i already tried
-BIOS updated !
-driver updated !
-OS reinstalled !
-power options: max performance
-even in all power options, i set max performance for the wireless adapter settings, on battery, too
-properties of the wlan card in device manager, i disabled the option : allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
-in the same window, advanced, 802.11d activated
well,despite of the fact, that i have this issue on my home network AND on other networks, i tried following things on my router at home:
-firmware updated
-device reset
-no automatic ip (dont know the correct english term) - this i set on my laptop, too
-wlan changed to 802.11 b, g, b and g, also tried wep
-wlan channel adjusted to auto and not auto, trying different channels
-disabled all power saving functions
... as you can see, i tried everything I KNOW..
maybe, you guys have something for me i did not think on...
well, i hope, somebody can help me with this problem...

hi guys,
there is a big news on my thread.
i still have the issue but JUST ON my wifi-lan at home.! I again tested my problem on other networks and i had no problems on those ones.
Well:
my router at home:
fritzbox 7110
-firmware updated
-device reset
-no automatic ip (dont know the correct english term) - this i set on my laptop, too
-wlan changed to 802.11 b, g, b and g, also tried wep
-wlan channel adjusted to auto and not auto, trying different channels
-disabled all power saving functions
maybe now somebody could help me?!?!
Are there known issues with realtek and fritzbox devices?
other device/laptops dont have any problems with this router!
just my toshiba with realtek wlan adapter

Satellite Pro A200 - Is 26 minutes of battery life normal?

Hi All,
My Satellite Pro A200 laptop is just over 1.5 years old (or young :P) and I have a huge problem with the battery - it only lasts for a total of _26 minutes_ under "high performace" mode in Vista - other power modes increase the time by only 5-7 minutes.
I have tweated the system setup to:
- run as few programs at startup;
- to use as little memory in relation to graphics (as in diabled vista themes, and "fancy" operations such as show contents of window whilst dragging).
- remain on the lowest brightness level.
The programs that do run on startup are my anti virus (F-Secure), and ATI catalyst control.
I have also cleaned the registry of any conflicts and regularly virus scan.
I have used Ubuntu on this laptop as well and the battery life is not that much better, which brings me to the conclusion that the battery is nearing its end.
I was wondering if this battery life time (26 minutes max on high performace) is normal for a laptop after only 1.5 years?* (I don't remember how long it lasted when I first bought it).
Also, I have a laptop from other manufacturer of 2 years and the charge of its battery lasts a minimum of 4 hours (on Windows XP).
Both notebooks batteries are 6 cell.
Any suggestions of how to improve my battery life?
Thanks in advance.

>Satellite Pro A200 laptop is just over 1.5 years old and I have a huge problem with the battery - it only lasts for a total of 26 minutes under "high performace" mode in Vista
The battery working time depends on different factors:
If different hardware parts like CPU, GPU, HDD, ODD, display are running with highest performance then your battery working time will decrease dramatically
Additionally if you would lose an stronger battery (9 cell or 12 cell) then you should be abele run the notebook much longer using battery power.
Furthermore the battery loses the own performance systematically and after a long time of usage you will have to replace the battery.
However, if you want you could check the Vista Power Options in order to increase the battery working time:
Here is a nice article:
How to handle the power management features of Windows Vista

But in worst case you will need a new, stronger battery

Satellite U840-10N - Windows Installation Can't See Any Drive

Hi all, this is my first post thus I hope I have choosen the right place to post in.
I've just bought a new Toshiba Satellite u840-10n ultrabook. It has built-in WIndows 7 Home Premium 320GB HHD + 32GB SSD.
Even if I prefer Linux, i need Windows because of Microsoft Visual Studio. I've downloaded Visual Studio(legally throught dreamspark.com) but it looks like it has some problems. In particular I cannot create any project.
After searching the web a lot for this problem, I've decided to try to reinstall Windows, hoping this will solve the issue, and here is the point.
Windows 7 installation process doesn't find any drive. I've looked throught the web a lot to solve even this problem, without figuring it out.
I've read that many other people had the same problem. I've tried different ways and I'm about to throw the laptop out of the window.
Is there anybody how can help me?
Cheers,
Marco Galassi

Hi macogala
Could you solve the problem installing the SATA driver?
As far as I know the Windows 7 system contains already an SATA driver so usually an additional SATA driver should not be an essential part. But try it out.
I solve my HDD issue by formatting the HDD again.
I create an bootable USB flash memory stick using *Gparted* freeware tool.
This partitions tool helped me to format the HDD and to create new partition in order to install Win 7.
By the way: in BIOS you should disable the +secure boot+ and should change from +UEFI to CSM mode.+

Satellite T110 - WLan connection has recently stopped working

I have a Toshiba Satellite T110 with Windows 7 Home Premium.
The wireless connection has recently stopped working, with the yellow exclamation mark showing over the device symbol.
On looking at the driver management screen, the following message is shown.
"This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"
Nothing I have tried seems to shake this error.
I tried the Toshiba assist diagnostic tool. It simply says the Wireless Connection failed its test.
I don't know how problem came about because the system worked for about three weeks without a hitch, but I would like to know if anyone else has any experience at solving this problem.
I could try a rebuild, but I'd prefer not to loose my OS.

Yes, I downloaded the driver, and re-installed it so it over wrote the existing driver and the WLAN came back and works OK, using it now.
THis issue was more complicated than I initially thought and I pass it on to help/warn others.
All my LAN connections were lost, while I was using a public open connection. I suspect a virus. I still have parts of the LAN hardware out, but not stuff I am currently using.
The Toshiba recovery options were in fact quite limited, without an ability to access all the dud drivers, other than each by hand. A painful process.
THanks for your help. Another 'gator sunk.

No stereo mix with Satellite T110

I bought a Satellite T110 (Win7). There's no Stereo Mix option with the recording devices. I marked show disabled and disconnected devices. I updated the conexant driver (4.98.16.61). Nothing helped. Still no stereo mix option. I tried connecting a male-male cord from headphones to line in - gave very bad quality.
please help!

As far as I know the chip does not include this and there is no way to upgrade this
PS: this has nothing to do how much the notebook cost there are many different notebooks on the market which costs a lot of money and dont support some features due to the different chip.... and there are a lot of notebooks you could get for favourable price and support Realtek sound chip.

How long do the battery's last til they die?

Just curious....what happens when it dies? Do I need a new iPhone or is there a repair?

That link said nothing except how to replace your battery through Apple.
Pretty much, Apple estimates that you have about 300-400 charge cycles before your battery drops to about 80%.
Now, let me explain that, that does NOT mean that once you charge 400 times, you will lose 20% of your battery. A charge cycle is a FULL charge and discharge. That means if you kill your battery and then FULLY charge your battery, that is a FULL CHARGE CYCLE.
So when your battery is at 80% and you charge it to full, you have not used up a full charge cycle. And just a reminder, on average, about once every 6 months, do kill the battery, then fully recharge it. This will recalibrate the firmware to your battery's percentage.

My phone doesn't last more than two hours before the battery is dead. Any one know how to make the battery last longer? College student in need of help!

I used to be able to go all day without charging my phone but now I have to charge it like every two hours and as a college student who also works. I go most of my day with a dead phone. Does anyone know how to make your battery last longer?

Satellite T110-11U - WiFi works only in one room

Wifi on my LP used to work perfectly in each room of the house, but since I've installed Norton Antivirus it only works in my bedroom (where the router is) and nowhere else.
However, other laptops work ok in the other rooms. I thought is was because of Norton Antivirus and I reinstalled it, but this didn't help. It's already 3 months since then and my LP only gets the signal in my bedroom. So it's got a problem of getting signal even in about 3 meter distance. I've already checked the wireless router with the supplier and there is no problem with it. The problem is in my laptop. I updated drivers but no luck. I've got Toshiba Satellite T110-11U, Windows 7 Home Premium.
If anyone can give me any advice regarding this would be highly appreciated!

Hi buddy,
Maybe there are still some registry keys of Norton Antivirus stored in Windows registry I would try a registry cleaner like CCleaner. This is really nice freeware tool to clean the registry.

How to increase the battery life of your N series ...

What I am about to post here is valid for any 3G phone or device regardless of model but it is particularly focused towards the N series devices and their power hogging features.
Your battery life is dependant on many many things. How often you take calls on the device, the condition of your battery, the features you use on the device and so on and on. Therefore it is impossible to say that by following the information in this post you will get x amount of days battery life, but it will get you more time out of the battery than you otherwise would have got.
So with that out the way, if your looking to increase your battery life then follow these tips and your battery should start looking a lot healthier.
First of all lets start with THE big one. The one that is going to save you the most juice. Switching 3G off.
Yep, you heard me right. Just by switching the 3G capability of your phone off you will add hours and hours to your battery life. How is this so? Allow me to explain...
Due to the rather poor delivery of 3G in the UK by the network operators, it is rare for any 3G phone to maintain a constant 3G signal. Instead you will find that the phone constantly flips between 3G and GSM mode (Keep an eye on your signal one day). Even those of you on Vodafone who probably have the best 3G network coverage will find this is the case.
Unfortunately, this constant flipping between the two modes sucks power from the battery like a vampire as it alters its reception state for the different modes and the constant flipping is..well...causing it do this constantly! It can sometimes even make your phone unavailable for calls for very brief periods as it trips from GSM to 3G and vice versa.
If you need to use 3G for video calls or whatever then I'm afraid your just going to have to live with this but if you don't (And lets face it few of us do) then you can switch 3G off and increase your battery life considerably.
To do this, go into the "Settings" application (Found in the menu somewhere, by default Nokia normally stick it in "Tools"), and then to the "Phone" tab. In there you will see an option that says "Network mode" and you have a choice of "GSM" or "Dual Mode" (I.e. UMTS and GSM). Set it to GSM and your phone will restart. Once it restarts it will be working in GSM with GPRS speeds only but really for most purposes this is fine.
You have now just extended your battery capability considerably. You can further extend it by going to the "Connection" tab, going into "Packet data" and changing it to "When needed" so it is not constantly checking for a data connection.
The second big change you can make is to turn your phones wifi scanning capability off. The last time I looked not all Nokia's phones that have wifi capability can have their wifi cards switched off entirely but if you can, turn it off except for when you need to use it. Wifi is a power hog.
The next big change you can make is to lower the screen brightness settings on your phone. The less bright your screen is the less power is being used to light it up. Nokia by default leave the screen brightness at something like 50%. Lowering this a bit more will conserve more juice. Before you do this though please consider the fact that lowering the brightness setting will have a big impact on your ability to see the screen clearly in sunny conditions although you will be fine in the dark as you can't lower the brightness that far.
To lower the brightness, go to the settings tool in your phone and into the display option (Hidden in a subcategory called "Personalisation" on the N95). It won't hurt to set the power saving time out to 1 minute and the backlight time out to 10 seconds while your here (Although these are the Nokia default so they should already be set to this).
Finally in regards to the screen, although they may look pretty, animated screensavers use more battery power than the standard blank screen with time and date so avoid them if you can.
It also helps to keep Bluetooth switched off until you need it although the power savings are minimal in comparison to the other changes but every little milliamp counts!
Using the above methods I generally get about 3 to 4 days with about 3 hours talktime on my N95 without using Bluetooth, GPS or anything like that (I might be able to get more but so far I have not paid attention to the battery state before I put it on charge). If I am on a long train journey I can get about 4 hours worth of full screen video and about 2 hours talktime over the period of about 24 hours before it needs a recharge. As I said at the start of the post your mileage will vary greatly depending on how you use your device.
Hope this helps.

no keffa it is a cop out from nokia
its not unfai as its a premium device with a premium price
the n95 battery is atrocious
dont change the post content as the title is 'How to increase the battery life of your N series device'
your talking about nokia phones specifically
the networks are not to blame
they do not make the handsets : Nokia do !!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to choose my words carefully here...
I would never deny the battery on the N95 is not really up to the job of powering the N95 with its power hungry features. To put the same battery into a phone that has WiFi, GPS and a large 320x240 screen, the same one that goes into the E65 which has comparatively nothing compared to it is a bit pants.
However at no point was I criticising them for the band hopping problem. I labelled the post as how to increase the battery life of your N series device because this is a board for the N series devices. It was a simple choice of wording and not intended to be cutting in any way and I did make a remark that the details would be true of any 3G device at the top of the post.
What I was trying to point out in my second post is that the constant band hopping the phone is being forced to do that is draining its battery so much more quicker than it would if it had a constant signal of one kind or another isn't quite Nokia's fault.
They build it to conform to a laid out specification for 3G. However if the network operators cannot be bothered to roll out their 3G infrastructure adequately enough that the phone can find and remain locked onto a 3G signal that is usable then what are Nokia to do other than offer you the capability to turn 3G off until you need it (Although note to Nokia: That **bleep** reboot the phone does when you do this is entirely unneeded and you know it).
Blaming Nokia for this would be like blaming the manufacturer of your radio for failing to pick up radio because the radio station does not have any transmitters within range of your radio's receiver.
Finally...this band hopping is exhibited by all 3G phones built by Samsung, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, etc, from their most budget 3G model to their priciest piece and is the reason that all phones with 3G capabilities have batteries that do not last for any respectable length of time because these phones are also having to band hop between 3G and GSM.
Finally the proof is in the pudding. Turn 3G off for a few days. See your battery improve. Then (Although admittedly this will be harder to do...mcuh harder) find an area where you get a fairly decent 3G signal constantly. Again, see your battery improve. Try it with a different 3G phone...different manufacturer even. The same will be true.
So I stand by my comment, the network operators and their woeful 3G rollout are the villains costing you a fair chunk of your battery and Nokia cannot be expected to mitigate this....but a better battery would be nice all the same...

HT4623 Hi!My iPAD lost its charge fast !!I've got an iPAD capacity 57,1GB and it has available 55,1GB ,version 7.0.4 .I'd like to know how long does the battery last when it is 100 % charged.

Hi!I've just installed the iOS 7.0.4 operating system and the battery lost its charge at an incredibly speed.I'd like to know how long does the battery last if everything is right when it has 100% charge.Thanks!

I`m `propping` up this thread to to the top of the forums again as it`s been three months and not a single community member or Apple support personnel have replied, which I find discouraging.
I`ve tried everything - both the iOS device(s) and Apple TV have been upgraded (albeit reluctantly) to the latest versions, since iOS 7 looks like crap compared to iOS 6. Both use the same WiFi network. Bluetooth is set to `off`, as per the online tutorials on the Apple Support page.
I also tried shutting all of them down, including the router, waiting 30 seconds and turning the router, then the Apple TV then the iOS device on sequentially with 30 seconds in between each, again as per this discussion forum, and still nothing.
Why can Apple not make a technology, such as AirPlay, work with greater than 10%?
Any other ideas?
Come on, people.
Thanks,
Doug

How to increase your battery health - anyone with similar experiences?

this is my very own self made instruction of "how to increase your battery health"
it is the procedure how i have done it serverall times on my powerbook g4 12".
my stats: 374 cycles, health 86% (3790 of 4400mAh)
age of my mac: 57month (battery bit newer)
**if you to try this: it is on your own risk!**
**this may not be suitable for mac newbies**
**be sure to read this twice before you do it once!**
you will need:
-a pocket lamp or comparable light (to see anything on your sreen when it is dark --> light from the back through apple logo)
-coconutbattery (coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery) or comparable programm to track your battery information in realtime
-activity monitor
-cool enviroment (to ensure your fans don't have to work that much)
-some time and patience
the intructions:
step1: load your mac until the orange light turns green
step2: disconnect the power adapter
step3: use your mac until 15-25% battery life (track this information in your menu bar)
step4: slow down your activities. the order of the following actions depend on your usage of your mac:
__close programms that use lots of cpu/gpu to ensure the fans slow down to 0rpm (!!)
__turn off everything that needs battery power: airport / bluetooth / speakers / etc.
__eject dvd or cd
__close all programms with important data
__eject idisk / .dmg files in your finder (this is not only a matter of data security)
__dissonnected from peripherals such as ethernet / internet / mouse / keyboard
__use lower brightness level
__open activity monitor to ensure that your hard drive activity is very low, may be you need to close more active programms, close activity monitor when hard drive activity is very low
__open system preferences >> energy saver preferences >> choose longest battery life
when your are ready with those actions go on and ensure you are able to connect to power adapter with your mac quickly (be able to charge - don't do it yet!)
step5: be patient. now it should take some time until your battery level goes down to 3-5%
now there should be no programm running.
do not open any programm now!
do not have a look at your dashboard!
now your mac should be really quiet:
-no fans (0rpm!)
-nearly no hard drive activity!!
-->> if this not the case break go on with step 11&12, try again in a week or two
-->> if you are ready go on with step6
step6: open coconutbattery und use the lowest brightness level
play with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start. waste time until you are at 1-2% battery life.
step7: take your lamp and spot through the transperent apple logo, position your coconut battery window somehow that you can see the current battery charge und the maxium battery charge in the spot of your lamp through the apple logo.
step8: go from the lowest brightness level to the level under the lowest brightness level (a dark screen)
step9: watch your current battery charge carefully und keep on playing with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start.
step10: there is kind of battery buffer made of approximately 1% (once when my "current battery charge" was 3624mAh and this kind of buffer was at 36mAh)
to empty this kind of battery buffer takes much longer as you might expect!
when your current battery charge turns under this kind of battery buffer, your maximum battery charge should change. hopefully it is higher or stays the same. when it is lower now: i'm sorry - i have warned you. may be you have to go through this 'how to' more carefully!?
step11: plug in your power adapter before the battery is cero!
step12: load until the orange light turns green
step13: if it was helpful do not repeat it more than once a week, better once a month

(via: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html)
anyone with similar experiences about increasing battery health!?
(yes, i'm sorry for my poor english, i've tried my best)

Me too! My battery lasts for 10 minutes. It is awful and I am on my 4th power adapter since they keep breaking too.
From coconut battery: Maximum battery charge 310mah, original 4400, age of mac 45 months, 140 cycles.
From system profile:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 310
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 213

I went to an apple authorized retailer and they said nothing I can do if it is out of warranty.. is this true?

How Necessary is PRAM battery on MacBook Pro (c2d intel 2.13, model a1211)

Hello Everyone, I stupidly broke the socket/clip where the pram battery attaches to the logic board on my Macbook Pro (c2d Intel 2.13). Unfortunately, since the socket/clip is a surface mount component and the way it broke (I don't see solder pads) I'm unable to re-solder the clip back on to the motherboard. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about (borrowed from someone else who apparently did the same thing): http://yfrog.com/6ximg0870nj
My first question is if anyone knows how vital the pram battery is to a Intel Macbook? It seems that the laptop works fine without the pram battery. Is the battery only necessary to retain pram settings if the main laptop battery is removed and the power adapter disconnected?
Second question is whether there is any alternative to repair the logic board other than get an entirely new board? The laptop is recently out of warranty (Applecare expired earlier this year) and I don't believe that Apple would have covered this since I caused the damage myself.
Third question(s) is whether it would cause any problems to use the logic board out of a c2d 2.33 a1211 macbook pro (I can get my hands on one for a pretty reasonable price)? The only difference I can see between the two boards is the clock speed of the main processor and the amount of video ram. Would there be any advantage to using this logic board? Doesn't seem like the speed bump and video ram would do to much.
Thanks in advance for any comments/help you can offer.

Much obliged. So it sounds like the only time this will be an issue is if I disconnect the regular battery and the power supply at the same time. The rational thing to do here is to just live with it rather than blowing hundreds on the new logic board and risking additional damage during replacement.
I just wish I wasn't so OCD about this. Bothers me a bit to know that something is wrong with the laptop even if it doesn't manifest itself on a day to day basis.
