Toshiba WT310 in hibernation mode: battery discharges within few days

As the title says if fully charged and left in hibernation mode the battery discharges within a few days.
I thought it might have been due to "connected mode" but it isn't supported anyway.
Any ideas?

Well unsurprisingly not as easy as that after all.
I rang the number gave them the ID# for my support call, let him read through, explained again what I'd done to try and resolve. Asked him what we do next.
"I'll just go and ask my colleague"
So according to his colleague losing 10% power overnight when switched off is apparently as expected for a laptop/tablet.
I begged to differ and pointed out that according to the manual the battery should last 70 days when the Tablet is shutdown. Bit of a difference between 10 weeks and just over 1 week I said.
We then had to find that page in the manual to make sure I wasn't lying, I wasn't.
Still didn't mean there was a problem apparently, so I send it back and it's NFF I get charged 60+
So I said OK you send in writing that the manual is inaccurate and amend the manual and I'll accept that.
Can't do that...
Well then what next?
Escalated to the next level of support! Though I did have to assure them I was switching it off and not putting it into sleep by accident (the flashing light is the give away there) and that whilst I was waiting I would test it using "shutdown /p".
me "Shutdown -p sure if you like"
him "no /p!" didn't bother explaining it worked either way.
By the way I manage an IT Support Dept we do Hardware, Software and Network support, 10% power drain in 24 hours when shut down for a Laptop is not an expected thing. Not unless the battery is stuffed rather than FAIR as mine apparently is.
The story continues...

Just bought the iphone,battery dies within a day.anyway to get the apps not to run when i am not using them?

just bought my iphone, and the battery dies within one day. Is there anyway to get the apps not to run when i am not using them to save my battery

Yeah. Double tap the home button and the screen will shift upwards to show all your running apps. Just press and hold one until they start 'wiggling' then press the 'no entry' like sign that appears in the top left corner of the apps. That'll close them and release the memory and resources they're taking up

MW600 first hang until battery ends within 7 days

Hi
I have purchased a new MW600 wireless head phone from Amazon UK (I am in London) and it has hanged first time within 7 days of working. It was hangcompletely and it was showing full battery icon and buletooth icon only. I can not restart it any way by pressing all switch from different ways but nothing happened. Now after 2days it has switch off by ending battery charge and have recharged a bit and now it is working perfectly. The seller was about to change the item.
Question is what you suggest, shall I change it or shall I wait to see more?
Thanks
Suman

The headset should of course not hang like this. If it's working now I see no need in having it exchanged but if your dealer is offering you this there's no reason not to accept it since there obviously was something wrong with it for a while.
There is a way to reset the headset (described at page 15 in this user guide: http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/mw600/userguide_EN_MW600_1236-6504.1.pdf) but it requires the headset to be turned off.

NB305-105 - Battery empty after few days

Hi,
I have a Toshiba NB305-105 (2 Gb Ram - 250 GB HDD) with Windows 7 (64) Ultimate. My battery (6 cells) has a long life about 6 hours but I don't manage why when switch-on the day after the PC the battery is discharged. I verify that PC is right switch-off and not in hibernate/stand-by but after some days the battery is complete empty.
Someone has had the same problems?
Thank for any help.
Regards

Hey,
After few days the battery shouldnt be empty but it will lose a little bit power, thats normal behavior on all notebooks. Normally up to 5-10% is normal each night/day.
In your case I would check the BIOS. There you should find options like Wake up on LAN, Wake up on Keyboard and USB Sleep & Charge. Disable all these options because they are consuming power while notebook is turned off.
I did the same after this it lose just 2-4% so its very good! :)

Battery dead within 10 days of use. Lenovo G580 Laptop

Recently I bought a new Lenovo G580 Laptop in the Emirates and after using it for 10 days, the battery got dead. I never used the laptop while it was on the charging mode and took complete care as it is brand new. Also used to charge it once in a couple of days. It is a disappointed since its a brand new machine. Anyone also facing this problem?

@manay,
Try removing the AC and battery then hold power button for 3 seconds, repeat this 3 times then put the AC and battery back and see if it helps.
Also try leaving the AC on and charge the laptop for the night. If problem persist then contact support to get the hardware checked.

My iphone5 warranty will be expired within few days. Can I extend it?

I got a new Iphone5 this week, because my old one's sleeping button was broken and battery problem. I was told my warranty will be expired in a week, so I wanna ask can I extend my warranty? How much will it be?
Thank you!

When you get a warranty exchange from Apple, the warranty on that unit is either 90 days or the remainder of the faulty iPhone's warranty ,which ever is longer

Satellite A660 - Battery discharge per day in hibernation/shutdown

I submitted my Satellite A660 for troubleshooting after months of testing a battery discharge of 5+ percent/day in hibernation (4+ percent/day in shutdown). There is no noticable discharge when the battery is pulled out of the laptop. The discharge when the battery is inserted is much higher than previous laptops I've owned, but Toshiba has said that this is normal.
I was wondering if I could poll people for what they have found to be normal (versus what they have found to be problematic).
Thanks for any anecdotes.

Excuse the name change, my initial ID is no longer recognized.
I tried a simple search on this forum for "hibernation battery discharge" with no quotes. Only a handful of hits, none relevant.
I did an advanced search on this forum for "hibernation AND battery" with no quotes. None for this year, and nothing relevant for last year.
Would you be able to provide a link to the relevant discussions that you found? As well, for my edification, could you please provide the search expression, forum, and timeframe?

I have just updated my 4s to IOS7. and now my battery discharge is significantly increase. With my Iphone fully charged, the battery run out within 6 hours without using the phone at all. Would it be possible to get the IOS 6.1.3 back to my 4S?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

Macbook Air (11 inch) does NOT go in hibernation mode when battery runs out

Hi,
I have a problem with my new Macbook Air. When the battery runs out to 0% it does NOT go into hibernation mode, it just turns itself off and all my data is lost. It never happened to my old 2008 Macbook Air!
I have all updates, the 1.4Ghz Macbook with 4GB RAM upgrade in case that matters. Hope anyone can help? Is there perhaps a setting where I can set at which Percentage (%) the Macbook should go into hibernation? Thanks in advance!

Noone knows a solution? I also still have problems with my Macbook not waking up properly (like everyone else). The main problem is, however, that it SHUTS down when the battery is empty and does not hibernate!
And I can't install the MacBook Air Late 2010 Software Update 2.0 - I always get this message: "MacBook Air (Late 2010) Software Update can’t be installed on this disc. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
- The update also does not show up in Software Update, I had to download it manually!
And I believe its NOT because I have 10.6.6 because I have talked to others who have the same problem under 10.6.5!

Encore WT8 - battery discharging during the sleeping mode

My battery is discharging during the sleeping mode.
If I sleep the tablet with battery fully charged then battery is fully discharged after 14h.
I suppose that must be something wrong with it. I cant find any option to activate functionality to switch off (hibernate) tablet when it is not used in sleeping mode for particular time.
Do you have any solution or advice what I should do to change energy consumption during the sleeping mode?

Hi
The system supports connected stand by function which starts working after your tablet goes into sleep mode.
Connected standby function is to provide a constant connectivity while delivering long battery life and at the same time some activities are allowed to run to ensure that the supported connected standby scenarios (for example receiving emails, updating tiles alive with fresh content, downloading/uploading a file from a/to a website and playing music) are functioning properly.
What does this mean?
This means that even if the tablet is set into Sleep Mode, some background processes are still running and this could be the reason why the battery discharges.

Portege R200 - Battery discharges when turned off

Hi purchased a Toshiba R200 in Australia about 2-3 months ago with the standard battery and the extended battery. My problem is that even when I turn the machine off the battery continues to discharge (i.e. it is not hibernating nor is it suspended). For example I left the computer off power for 4 days and did not touch it. When I came back and used it the main battery had dropped to 60% and the extended battery had also dropped to around 60% (both were full when I left). It looses about 10% per day. I've never experienced this before in the 5 dell/toshiba notebooks I've had before.
It can't be my usage of the batteries because I rarely use the machine away from its power adapter. At most the batteries have experienced maybe 10 full charge/discharge cycles since I've had it. Also if I do run on battery power I will get around 7-8 hours of battery with the main and extended battery (which is normal) so it doesn't seem like 'memory effect' from the battery.
I'm trying to disconnect the batteries from the computer for a few days to check if it is the battery or the computer, however I just wanted to find out if anyone has any ideas or experiences with this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Believe me it is normal. At my notebook happened the same thing. Over night there is deficit of 3 5% of battery capacity. Dont worry about it. Only what you can do is to do something about maximizing battery life.
For Nickel Metal Hydride batteries (NiMH) the battery will better hold a charge if allowed to discharge at least once a week. The chemical reactions that correspond to charge and discharge in a rechargeable battery should occur to obtain the maximum number of charge/discharge cycles in the battery.
It is not necessary to remove the battery from the computer during the week when it is on AC power.
Google a little bit around. You can find a lot of useful information about notebook-battery.
On this forum you can find similar discussions and many users have reported about this known issue. I just hope that you have charged the battery on the right way like described in users manuals.

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.

Equium M40X -Battery discharging. Please help!

I recently bought an Equium M40X - 149, and i couldnt understand why when the ac adapter is plugged in the battery discharges itself and the computer switches off! So i took it back to the shop and they said it is just the cycle of the battery and i would need to go into the bios to change the settings.
I went into the bios but i couldnt find anything that i could change to stop this!! Can anyone point me in the right direction as it is inconvinient for me to keep taking the battery out when i want to use the laptop!!
thank you
Gemma

Hello Gemma
I dont know if I have understood you right but if the notebook is connected to AC power supply it can not be possible that the unit switches off itself. Not because of power supply. If the unit is connected to AC power supply you can remove the battery and it should work without any problem.
Sorry but I have no explanation for this and in my opinion you should contact Authorized Toshiba service partner in your country. Explain them the problem and thay can check the unit. The warranty is valid and if there is some hardware malfunction the costs will be covered.

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.
