Third party docking station speaker creating battery problems

Has anyone heard of the altec lansing dock causing significant battery life depletion? I kept mine docked for over a month and now my charge will not hold if not used for a day or two(it will be dead) and when I do undock and use it...my battery life is under 2 hours...

We opened a Cisco TAC case for this issue. It was solved by creating the username with the user id the same as the directory number.
Directly from the mail from the TAC engineer:
Resolution summary:
Checked the config
Added digest user under phone
Created new user with user ID same as DN on line
Polycom was able to register after the change.
Tom changed digit map configuration on polycom for dialling issues.

No audio on third party dock

I have an iPhone 4 previously running ios5.
I have 2 third party dock devices.
A Logitech alarm clock and DM port on a Sony Home cinema system.
Both have been working fine then the other day they stopped out putting audio.
It's not the devices as I have checked with my wife's phone and that works fine. The devices still charge my phone there is just no sound.
Here is what I have tried.
1. I've checked the port on the phone for lint, dust etc and it's clear.
2. I tried using an AV cable and played video and music through the TV no problem.
3. I have restored the phone and am now running ios5.1 but this did not work.
4. I have reset the Logitech device but still nothing.
It must be a software issue as it synch, charges and plays using a cable so there can't be damage to the connector pins. It has worked flawlessly on the other devices until a couple of days ago.
I'm now at a loss. I can't think of anything else I can do.
Anyone have any ideas?

I solved the problem. I must have switched from Mute to Lock Rotation while playing an app so it freaked out the iPad, all I had to do was switch back turn it on and off and it worked!

Third party tool which can create infosets in SAP R/3

Hi All, Is there any third party tool that could create infosets in ECC for reporting.We integrated crystal reports with ECC and want to create queries using infosets and make use of BAPI's. There are several 100's of reports to be developed and we are afraid we might make mistakes when we have to join all the tables in ECC during infoset creation. We are hoping to find a third party tool that could do this or has infosets that could be used.

My ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. Help?

my ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. I'm not sure what generation it is, its an 80GB. Help?

The battery is possibly unable to take as much power as a normal battery. It may need a replacement battery.

Used a third party dock and now phone won't charge!!!

I had my phone plugged into a third party dock to charge while I slept last night. I have been doing this since I have had my phone. When I woke up this morning there was a message saying this accesory is not optimized for iphone. Now I can't get my phone to charge, even with my apple usb cable in my computer. I have tried a hard reset and nothing changes. Any suggestions, I am completely lost?

Try cleaning your dock connector...use compressed air & a soft toothbrush...look closely...any bent pins?

Windows XP Pro doesn't recognise iPOD when in 3rd party Docking Station

Hi All. My iPOD is brand new. If I use the syncing cable that came with it, everything works fine. However If use the 'Logic3' docking station (uses a standard USB cable) or the 'Gear4' docking station (standard ipod cable connects to female socket in rear of dock)I experience the following problems:-
Logic3 - lots of disk light activity but iTunes locks up and the iPOD does NOT appear in iTUNES
Gear4 - lots of disk light activity, iPOD appears in iTunes but I get an error message suggesting iPOD is corrupted and I can't sync any tunes
If I try a different USB port it makes no difference. If I disconnect them and go back to using the simple iPOD syncing cable everything is fine.
It makes me think it must be an iPOD problem as neither 3rd party dockig stations work properly.
I've contacted each Manufacturer of the each Dock, but they can't offer any help apart from suggesting I should update my iTunes software. I had already made sure this was up-to-date
Anyone got any ideas on what might be the problem?
Thanks
Steve

I think it might be the other way around. If it works fine with the Apple cable, but there are problems with the third party one, then the problem seems to be with the 3rd party stuff, right?
I've only used speakers w/ a dock (not something that was also hooked up to the `puter) so I can't address your problem directly. There's been a lot of weirdness with the new iTunes, and since your iPod is new I'm thinking these manufacturers aren't up to speed on what changes have been made. Just a guess brother.
BTW, are the docking stations new? I googled "Logic3 docking station" and it came up discontinued.

Is Docking Station ruining the battery?

Hi,
My old laptop was a Lenovo something which was duplicated 1 for me and the same version for my parents..
I use to keep my AC out when 100% or my battery out when I'm at home.|
While they were plugged in - overcharging 24/7..
After 2 years mine was still great while theirs is now barely 10 minutes battery life.. You just unplug the AC and the PC screams low power..
Well now I have a new laptop: HP EliteBook 2570p, with a proper docking station for it..
I was half ear told that the docking station should smartly protect my battery life and I can count on it to not keep feeding my PC when 100% is reached..
As it sounds believable for the size of the dock, and the fact that its almost impossible to plug out the battery without shutdown the PC first and it would be kinda silly if it wouldn't keep it.. BUT.. I don't wanna take the chance..
A Google search wouldn't give me a proper answer and the manual doesn't speak about this..
Could any expert please vote for a true answer if this might hurt or not
An explanation in addition is recommended
Thanks ahead !
Jordan.

Hi McJordan,
HP Notebooks won't keep charging the battery once it has reached 100%. Gennerally speaking, if the notebook battery is at or above 95% charged when plugged in, the notebook won't charge the battery further. Charging will only occur after the battery has dropped below 95%, and only then will it charge up to 100% and then stop. This is true with or without the docking station.
My own Probook, is currently sitting at 97% available (Plugged in, Not Charging) as I write this.
There are two things to keep in mind when using a docking station with a notebook, one is that heat is the enemy of batteries and many other components in a notebook, so make sure that the notebook is not overheating by ensuring that vents are clear and clean and there is adequate air flow around the notebook. Also if you are using the Notebook primarily in the Docking Station so it is always connected to AC Power, at least once a month, take the notebook out of the docking station and allow it to use the battery down to where you get the warning that you need to plug it in, then put it back in the docking station and allow the battery to recharge to 100%.
I would also recommend reviewing the following two documents for additional tips on maintaining battery performance:
Improving Battery Performance (Windows 8, 7, Vista)
Understanding Lithium-Ion and Smart Battery Technology

Sony docking station speaker not working with iPod touch

We bought a Sony docking station for the iPod touch (4th generation) we got our son for his birthday. The speaker on the docking station works when playing the radio, but not the iPod touch. We returned the docking station for another, and we are having the same problem. Which is why I am pretty sure the problem is the iPod touch and not the docking station. The docking station actually will charge the iPod, just not project sound out of the speaker with the iPod. It will, however, project sound out of the speaker when using the radio.
Is there anything simple I could be missing in settings? I can't figure this out. TIA!
Nick's mom

Use the communities search box in the upper right and search for
sony.
The go to advanced search and limit search to the the iPod touch forum.
Recently there has been several users posted here with the same problem with a Sony dock. I do not recall if it was solved.

T60 w/ Docking Station DVI - HDMI 1080p problems.

Hi,
Im currently running vista 32bit on a T60 with a docking station trying to externally display to a 1920x1080 LCD via the DVI port on the back of the docking station to the HDMI port on the LCD (Samsung N series 40").
The problem im having is when i set the resolution to 1920x1080 the output on the LCD is not crisp and there is a 1" black border around the whole screen. If you lower the resolution right down to 1024x 7xx (cant remember exactly what it is) it fills the screen and is crisp., but everything is just mega big..
I have the latest video drivers off the lenovo support page.
I also have a T43 running vista and it displays 1920x1080 via the DVI port on the docking station fine.
Has anybody seen this before and have any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks, Cam

Third Party base stations for airport express

Hi, I recently bought an AX, my question was answered earlier so I guess my doubt now is which third party products could act as base stations which can be recognized by the AX, which Linksys products (not too expensive) would you recommend? I thank you in advance for your attention.
John

An Airport Express can act as a client (printing and AirTunes) with ANY wifi-certified 802.11b/g wireless router.
In terms of using an Airport Express to extend an existing wireless network, then I wouldn't recommend ANY third party router, I would use an Airport Extreme Base Station or another Airport Express.
It has been shown to work with
- a Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not latest versions v5)
- a Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
- one specific model from SMC
- one specific model from Buffalo
- BT Voyager 2100
For wireless routers not on this short list - not possible.
In particular, it will not work with any WiFi routers from D-Link or Netgear.

Does leaving your iPod in a docking station damage the battery?

I've just purchased an LG docking station for my iPod Classic. While using it for the first time, I noticed that the iPod also charges up via the docking station, even when I've turned the docking station into standby mode.
I've read on several posts that the iPod batteries eventually start to deteriorate after several hundred charges. My question is, will leaving my iPod in the docking station (so it's therefore permanently on charge) eventually lead to my iPod battery being damaged/deteriorating?
Prior to this I've always charged my iPod via my PC when syncing to iTunes.
Cheers.

Creative Zen Nomad Jukebox. Docking Station/Speake

Hi all. I have a Creative Zen Nomad Jukebox 30GB.

Connect Airpot Express on Macbook Pro to third-party base station

I recently bought a second Macbook Pro and I am having trouble connecting it to my netgear MR814 router. I use WEP encryption 128-bit hex. I got this working on my first one (in fact I'm using that computer to write this post) but it took me along time to get it working and I don't know what I did. It just suddenly worked. So how can I get this second Macbook to connect to my network?
I have tried common fixes:
1. $(password)
2. selecting WEP in security type
3. selecting WEP 40/128 bit hex
nothing has worked. any suggestions?

Hello imustflee. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Any particular reason you don't use WPA or WPA2 instead of WEP? I would recommend it as WEP is no longer considered secure.
The problem with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP. In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.
If you must use WEP, I suggest that you create a 26-HEX character password on the Netgear, and use this same password when accessing it from either Macs or PCs.

IPhone 4 with Otterbox Commuter Case...Do any third party docks work???

Hello, I have a Otterbox Commuter on my iPhone 4. Does anyone know of any docks that will allow me to charge my iPhone with its case on? I appreciate any advice!!

Yes, the ZOOM mic works on the new macbook AIR, ...I have lots of mics, Ive used its jack to plug in. MOST of the sony external mics plug in NOT thru the mic jack, but via USB.
The PRO mics, most, plug in via USB, not the headphone/mic jack.
SONY ICD-SX712 is a great choice (best "cheap" mic ive found)
