Sensor Battery Died- Problem Linking Replacement Sensor

I had a great experience with my NikePlus sensor the first time around. The training program option on nikeplus.com has been great to keep me motivated, and so far I have lost 30 pounds! Then the sensor battery died...
I have gotten a new sensor and receiver for my 3rd generation ipod, but it is having problems linking with the sensor. I use a velco pack on the laces rather than spend the money on the Nike+ shoes and it wasn't a problem with the first sensor. The set up is still the same, but now the replacement sensor isn't reading properly. The replacement sensor is linked to the nano, but the pace zeros out. As an example, today I ran 2.5 miles and it only read .07 miles since the pace was 0.00 the majority of the time.
I want to get back on track, but can't figure out how to fix this. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm not sure if it is related to my nano being linked to another (my original) sensor, or if it is just a bad sensor.
Help!

My wife had the same problem with her Nano 3rd Gen iPod and Nike Sensor. She is using a pair of Nike shoes with the sensor pocket (not the most comfortable shoes, ... but that's another story). The battery died on the sensor after 3 months of fairly regular use. We took the sensor in to the Apple Store and they were kind enough to provide her with a replacement free of charge.
We got back home and the new sensor will not sync with the receiver/iPod. I am OK with buying a $19 sensor (OK, but not at all thrilled) every 3-6 months if it provides the type of enthusiasm and incentive to workout that my wife has enjoyed. But to have to purchase the sensor and the receiver every 2-3 months is a joke.
With the great minds at both Nike and Apple, they should be able to provide a sustainable product with a replaceable battery with more consistent life. I have read many reviews and the battery on the sensor lasts anywhere from 2 months to 14 months. That is a horrible variation in performance for a high tech piece of electronics.
If you are close to an Apple Store, I would return the sensor and demand a free replacement. Perhaps when Apple gets a thousands of the sensors piling up in their storerooms they will increase the reliability.

Nike + sensor battery dying!

What must I do when my Nike+ sensor battery is dead? Can I get it changed or do I have to purchase a whole new sensor and reciever?

The Nike Sensor plays a playlist, so I am listening to music. I can listen to music for almost 16 hours straight before the battery drains without the Nike sensor plugged in. But when the sensor is plugged in, it is 30 minutes before the battery is drained. I should be able to run a marathon or at least a 1/2 marathon. Any ideas?

Touchscreen sensor in ipod problem

my touchscreen on my itouch 2nd gen was not working so i purchased a touchscreen which did not help when i plugged it in and tried it, i have come to the conclusion after numerous tests with other screens that the senor plug inside my ipod (NOT on the end of the touchscreen cord) is not working or sensing the touchscreen. Can the sensor inside the ipod be replaced or is a new itouch the only way?

Hi there ruchicuppy,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
One thing you can try, to resolve the search issue in the Music app on your iPhone 5, is restoring the iPhone to factory settings. The article linked below will walk you through the process.

My first problem is that I have no apps on my iPod desktop. The second is that my battery died, and despite being able to charge it, it is unable to restart back up.

My first problem is that I have no apps on my iPod desktop. After using my computer to install something onto my iPod 5, it somehow disconnected. When i restarted the iPod, some apps (Safari, FaceTime, Game Center, App Store, iTunes Store, Camera, and some others disappeared. Apps like Flashlight and Jetpack Joyride which I had previousyl downloaded from the App Store were still there. I wanted to get the aforementioned apps back, so i decided to back-up my iPod to iTunes. The downloaded apps weren't able to be backed up ("authentication problems") but some apps like Tips, Video, iBooks, Reminders, Stocks, Settings, Voice Memos, were backed up. I then proceeded to factory reset the iPod, deleting everything and starting it as a new iPod. Once I finished this, I looked my desktop to see everything was gone, absolutely everything. I double-pressed the home button, showing Settings was open, but that's it. I opened settings and factory reset it again, this time choosing to restore from a backup. After doing this, I found the iPod looked the same as the last time i reset it - blank. If I scroll down the middle of the screen to bring up a search bar, I can find only the apps I backed up (Tips, Video, iBooks, Reminders, etc.) That is the first MAJOR problem. I was getting really frustrated, so I opened up iBooks and discovered I can download a could free books from the store, which was essentially the only thing I can use the iPod for. There were no videos in the Video app, and pressing the "Go to Store" button did absolutely nothing. No lag, it just ignored my touch. Once i found a few books, I decided to start reading. Eventually, i brought this iPod somewhere to read it, and didn't bring the charger with me. The battery died, and when i got home, tried charging it.
Which brings me to the second problem. A minute or so after I plugged in the charger into the dead iPod, the Apple logo came on. But the iPod never started up. The logo stayed there, getting dimmer after a minute, but no vanishing even after fully charging or pulling out the charging cord. It didn't leave even after hours, but by then the battery died again. If i press and hold the power button and the home button at the same time, the Apple logo disappears. But I can't get into recovery mode utilizing the volume buttons. If i hold the power button when the screen is blank, the Apple logo comes back. But the iPod cannot start up.
After everything was wiped, i was pretty angry. But I still had books to read, even if i couldn't do much else. Then the battery died, and it really wrecked me up. I feel so mad right now, although this actually happened about 4 days ago. The iPod being wiped happened about 3 days after the Christmas holidays began. This iPod also was not brand new, I bought it off a friend who had it for over a year, although it was in perfect condition (Obviously out of warranty.) I desperately need a solution to this HUGE problem. Due to personal reasons, I can't go to a Genius Bar or go to an Apple retailer in person, but communicating by E-mail is an option, as is instant messaging.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

The only way to get it back is a hard reset or let the battery die and then plug in the charger. The brightness is up and the power stays on while screen is black.
This is the second macbook pro i have owned in the past two weeks. I am ready to return it for good if this is a chronic issue. Please help if you have had this same issue.

Try a SMC reset:

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Little problems with two sensors

Hi
I've got a problem with two sensors.
First, the luminosity sensor. I'd like to set the brightness to a fixed value. It would not vary from darkness to bright sunlight.
Then, when i'm typing in landscape mode, it often switches back to portrait mode, wich make me terribly angry as i lose too much time.
How can i solve these two problems ?
Is there a special app?
Last, but least, does anyone know if an app that would allow to take HDR/exposure blending pictures exist ? It'd take 3 to 5 photos with different exposures, and if it merged them to a good tonemapped picture it would be perfect.
Thanks

The light sensor can't be set to a fixed permanent value using the phones default settings, I'm afraid. You can only adjust it's sensitivity. However, some users have reported using an app to keep the screen set at maximum brightness.
The motion sensor which switches the phone screen orientation has become more sensitive after the recent PR 1.1 update, so not a lot can be done about that either, apart from trying to hold the phone as steady as possible when using it.
Finally, there isn't any HDR available for the N8 at this time, nor is there any setting to increase the exposure time to something like a second, which would be a nice feature to add to a great camera.
All the best.

My 16b 3gs was working perfectly. The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also neohook up to itunes for restore. It also had a little exclamation button that reads: IMEI:unknown and just below it read ICCID: Unknown. Nothing else

My 16gig ipone 3gs was working perfectly since it was replaced only a month or to prior. I was visiting with some friends around the ole pipe and low and behold the phone was completly dried of it's go juice. One we noticed I reached into the kitchen and plugged it in to the outlet.,,, The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also said Emergency calls only in various foriegn languages. It also said to plug it into your itunes. All the while haviing no calling options to say the least. I followed the apple instructions perfectly when it said that there was a new version of itunes I should download first, prior to refreshing it. It went through all of the installing and so on then at the end you still get a useless phone that doesnt work. IMEI: unknown and ICCIC; unknown (both of which can be found by you on the box or on the sim card case. I completley removed the sim card and it worked in my hubbies 3g.   I tried several times and also AT&t had made sure the imei and iccic where correct. So I spent hours getting nowhere with this. Its new and nice and broken.. Im going to leave that Apple store with a brand new iphone 4 tomorrow. Simply b/c it is for my pain and suffering and for giving me a crappy refurbished phone. Fair is fair. So if you've found a way to fix great, but Im going to get that free iphone 4 xoxo toodllloooo

Upgarde to 8.1.3, battery died, Ipad 2 dead now

I upgraded to 8.1.3 either on the 5th or 6th of February. As soon as the upgrade was complete and the tablet restarted battery had drained from 70% to 12%. Plugged it in to charge but battery wouldn't charge. By morning, batter had drained to about 5% and then by evening battery died and wouldn't charge. Now I have a dead Ipad. Tried to get it repaired, said it would cost Rs. 17,500 (~USD 300).
Tried using two different cables, chargers, no change.

Good day kjogani,
Based on the fact that you are still unable to get your iPad to charge, it appears your iPad needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

Iphone 5 battery dying at around 37% when only 5 degrees C

Iphone 5 battery dying at around 37% when its under 5 degrees C! It will switch back on for a few seconds but the just dies again, showing the charging icon. If i wrap the phone in a sock its stays on ok. However Apple states that the phone should s be fully operational down to 0 degrees C. When its inside and warm i do not have this problem. Please can someone help?

Today I had the appointment and they reached the conclusion I need a new phone . Got a replacement phone , lucky to have the extra coverage .
13 months with Apple , 3 pnones changed . In average an iPhone 5 in my case last 4 months and 10 days . As I said : GREAT QUALITY .
Not very impresed with Apple's quality phones .

HotSync inop after battery died

During last hotsync, the Palm battery died and froze the unit on the cleaning up screen. Soft reset required to restore Palm function. Hot sync was then attempted and failed.
"PC Message= 'One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. '
Palm message= 'Hot Sync Problem. The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check yout setup and try again'
Hot sync appears to run on Palm, and disk activity is heard on PC, until fail messages appear.
Performed a soft reset of Palm, and tried twice, but same messages. Rebooted puter also but same messages.
PC is older but both have worked fine together for years. Using XP Pro. and Pam Desktop. Nothing was changed, (SW or HW) before the failure.
Would a hard reset be worth a try?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Post relates to: Tungsten E

The battery is used as a power source to keep the contents of NVRAM in place which store certain information between reboots.
It used to be we had a separate battery like a large watch battery, a lot of PC's still work this way.
So you need to get the battery replaced.
Sometimes a #1 SMC Reset will fix it and allow a battery to charge.

Ive had my ipod for 13 months and the battery died!

is there no way i can get this fixed for free?!?
i just want my ipod back, and they plan to have these batterys to die after 12 months so why should i have to pay?

It's unusual for the battery to simply die. Li-Ion batteries gradually lose capacity over the course of time; it typically takes several hundred full charge cycles before significant degradation occurs. I believe Apple states that after 400 charge cycles, an iPod battery retains about 80% of its original capacity. I've had a 5th Gen Video for about three years and it is still going strong. The typical reason an iPod battery (or any rechargeable) just dies is due to moisture.
In any event, regardless of why the battery died, if your iPod is 13 months old, you will need to pay to replace the battery. This link explains Apple's battery replacement policy.

8220 battery life problem

Hello everyone,
I've had my 8220 for almost exactly a year now, and for most of that time it's been great, albeit somewhat neutered by being on Vodafone pay-as-you-go. Then, sometime in November last year, I started to have problems with the battery life being quite short.
Now, I don't use my phone for much, it used to spend most of the day turned off (not complete off, just on standby) and would turn on twice a day to remind me to take some medication for a sleep disorder I have. I would have to recharge it about once a week, maybe once every 10 days. But since November I have to recharge it about once every 2 days, and that's without using it as more than an alarm clock!
I bought a new branded battery (from an Amazon UK marketplace seller, so I can't be 100% sure it's legit) and tried that, and nothing has changed. It loses a good 20-30% charge overnight, even if I use full power off. I thought at first it might be because the phone basically spent its life powering on and off without being on for very long, maybe that did something bad to the battery life over time; so now I turn the phone on when I get up and leave it that way all day until full power off before I go to sleep.
I don't have much installed, just Opera Mini and Empower Central+Task Manager (which I installed after the problems tarted to graph the battery usage)
Things I've tried:
Going through all open programs and choosing 'close' - only default programs open (messenger, browser, home screen, phone, messages) and they just re-order themselves if I choose 'close' - no change
New battery (as detailed above, from Amazon UK marketplace) - no change
Charge using mains adapter instead of USB cable - no change
Charge to 100% using mains, pull battery, wait a couple of seconds, replace, continue charging - it still said it was 100% charged after the battery pull - no change
Upgraded OS (from .155 to .305) - no change
Does anyone have any more ideas I can try to get back the decent battery life I used to have?
Is my phone faulty?
Any help or advice gratefully received!
