Vibration on navigation and battery?

I am trying to extend the battery duration, should i get rid of the brief vibration when u navigate the interface?
doesnt it suck battery uselessly?
for example many times when u press the back button etc.
is there a way to disable it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Vibration on the capacitive buttons cannot be disabled. It doesn't use much power.

Where to install Kontakt and Battery Samples?

So, I'm going to take the plunge and buy Komplete 5 today. I want to optimize disk speeds and processing power. Right now I have three hard drives. Two internal and one FW800. One is the system drive, the other internal is for recording to, and my FW800 I use to transport data from home to the studio.
Where should I install the Kontakt and Battery samples to optimize speed? I've never quite wrapped my head around this.
Thanks,
~trevor

Yep, I already did it like that once or twice...
But... I somehow always forget it and, in the middle of replying, end up opening the LP8DF forum in a new tab and navigating to the post, reading the sig, back to the tab I was replying in, oops, forgot to look at RAM, back to other tab, read, switch, write, switch, check another spec, switch back, write... life can be so relentless sometimes...
I just think it could be so simple for the forumdevs' to add a simple little code so that the message one replies to, includes its' sig.
How hard can it be?

Phone vibrates 5 times and goes black, only fully boots while plugged into USB at splash screen

I have an HTC Droid Incredible with stock firmware 2.2 and it will no longer boot properly. The phone is not rooted or altered in any way.
When the power button is pressed, the phone shows the HTC Incredible splash screen, vibrates 5 times, and the screen goes black and the LED light flashes green over and over until the battery is pulled out.
Strangely enough, if the phone is plugged into a PC via USB or a charger during that splash screen for a few seconds (at least 5), it DOES boot up to the OS and seemingly works fine, but the SD card and internal storage is listed as "unavailable". I can also access the HBOOT menu by holding volume- while turning the phone on.
The phone then functions until the next time it needs to be rebooted, or if you attempt to plug it in via USB again (only when attached to a PC) and remove it, then it vibrates 5 times and goes black once again. If you repeat the battery pull and USB plug-in process it works again.
I've been able to successfully return it to the factory setting, reflash the stock ROM via SD from the HBOOT menu and from a RUU from my PC, but it doesn't fix the issue. The SD card has been reformatted properly and error checked and can be accessed from a card reader... just not while it is in the phone.
Pretty weird issue that's driving me crazy.

This reply in that link is what I am suggesting should have been implemented in the Droid 4:
“Just adding my 2 cents. Found this to be odd with my new phone. Previous WM6.1 phone I would sync and charge overnight with my PC and let both 'sleep' when done. WM6 must be closing the port when the USB power drops so not to deplete the battery.
Just one more quirk with the new device.”
There is no reason for current leakage into a sleeping computer because of keeping data lines open. It should be easy enough to shut down the usb port when a voltage drop is detected in on the power pins. In any case, hopefully my posting will at least alleviate some anxiety for someone down the line. The procedure gets the phone back up and running in an expedient manner. Thanks for your research.

HT4528 About 30 minutes ago, my iphone 4 screen just went white. It still shows the time, signal and battery at the top, but everything else is white. I can't receive calls/text messages. My phone will not lock or turnoff, but it will charge. HELP!!

I don't know what to do. My iPhone 4 just all of a sudden had a blank white screen. It still shows the bar at the top with the signal, time, and battery life. But the rest of the screen is white. If I touch the screen it acts like it's selecting something and gives me the choice to "Copy". It will still charge when I plug it up, but i cannot turn it off or lock the screen. I tried leaving it alone for awhile to see if it will lock on its own, like it normally would, and all it does is dim the screen. I guess im going to try to just let it die, and then see what happens, but if anyone else has any suggestions (other than taking it in to be looked at or getting a new phone) I would greatly appreciate it!

Any number of things could have caused the phone to do this. If after the reset you are experiencing additional problems, the next step in the troubleshooting process is a restore from a backup. Make sure you have one before you start the restore process. If that does not improve things, then you may have to restore as a new device. Remember, restoring as a new device will delete all data off the phone. Make sure all of your pictures are imported to the computer and all other data is synced to supported applications on the computer before restoring as new. See this support document about backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946, and this about restoring the phone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Heating and battery problem

My Sony Xperia Z1 has started getting really hot and battery discharges really quickly. As far as I'm aware I haven't changed anything for this to happen. Any known causes or solutions? Thanks

Are you playing games? are you running a lot of background apps and services? auto backup with G+? Auto updating your apps?

Downloaded new iOS for iPhone 5. Now the handset is running hot, keeps freezing on different screens, won't charge on official charger ( only charges on crap poundland one) and battery is loosing 1% every two minutes!

Downloaded new iOS for iPhone 5. Now the handset is running hot, keeps freezing on different screens, won't charge on official charger ( only charges on crap poundland one) and battery is loosing 1% every two minutes! I've closed all apps and reset the complete phone but no luck. Any one know what else I can try apart from a new phone?

I have done a factory reset at 45% battery. After the reset it's still hot and at 35% now

Data usage and battery drain has skyrocketed with iOS 8.1.2 (maybe earlier)

3 weeks ago my wife got a text message on her iPhone 5 from AT&T that she had used 90% of her data for the month. 30 seconds later, she got another one saying that she had used 100%. Granted, her data plan is small, 200 MB. But, for the last two years she has used as little as 17 MB in a month and her largest prior to this latest month was 49 mb. This month she got to 380 mb before we were able to shut off her cell data. Otherwise, a second chunk of 200 MB and another $15 would have been added to the month.
We had noticed that her battery had been draining rather rapidly in standby mode with no background apps running when she didn't have access to WiFi. We have now correlated the two results, High Cell data usage, Quick battery drain and very warm phone. In case anyone is wondering about her iPhone 5 being one in the recall, it is. I took it in and had it tested. Apple says the battery is fine. It does hold a charge well. When all network communications are shut down on her phone and it is in standby mode, there is no noticeable loss of charge in 24 hours (our longest test).
Since I have a grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan with AT&T, I have been doing some testing on my iPhone 5s. Sure enough, I've seen similar results. With nearly everything turned off except Cell Data, I've seen 483 MB used in 24 hours. Of that total, 479 MB was used for Documents & Sync. I even have everything turned off in my iCloud account, Location services are turned off, no push notifications etc...
The best I can figure, this has been a problem since we installed 8.1.2 and yesterday I installed 8.1.3 resulting in no positive effect on this issue.
At this rate of data usage and no access to WiFi, my wife would have to have a 15 Gb data plan to keep from exceeding her limit. I don't think AT&T even offers one that big anymore. I might have to switch to Sprint or T-Mobile if this doesn't get resolved.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your shared insights.

Hey this is Brian, bjmcmurry, under a different user ID. If I logged in as bmcmurry, original post, I was just getting a server error and couldn't get to this discussion nor post a comment anywhere.
Anyway, let me be as brief as I can. After an extensive analysis of replicating the problem on another phone to eliminate it being a hardware specific issue and that the test phone has an unlimited data plan, I was able to stop the excessive data usage and consequential battery drain. I believe I have a reasonable explanation of the problem, an iOS logic bug.
I had everything under my control clamped down on the test phone to minimize data usage. Also, I was forcing all data usage to use the cell towers. I determined that I was burning at least 11 to 13 Mb per hour doing nothing important. I literally had everything turned off except 'Settings' was allowed to use Cell data providing a avenue to log into the Apple ID.
The two phones had 2 things in common, they were using the same Apple ID and the same version of the OS. One was a iPhone 5 and the other was a 5s.
Here is a synopsis of my experience via my written evaluation of the Apple support system (Apple Rep name's have been removed):
After a couple of hours on the phone with an Apple Care Senior support Analyst, it was suggested that I go to the Apple Store to 1) get my battery replace in the iPhone 5 since it qualified for the replacement program and 2) see if the Genius could provide me with any insight in the data usage issue and battery drain.
I'm certainly glad I had multiple reasons to visit the closest Apple store, a 45 min drive. I got the battery replaced, thanks for that.
Regarding the important issue to me that brought me to the Genius Bar, excessive Cell data usage, I thought the Genius did a wonderful job listening and documenting the problem we were experiencing. Unfortunately, educating us on the use of the product or replacing our phone was not going to solve the problem. He eventually figured it out, this was not a user error or broken hardware. We surmised that the reason I was sent to him was to verify and document that there was a problem. I clearly had a problem. After writing copious notes on the issue, The Genius smartly referred me back the the AppleCare Senior Advisor. So, back to AppleCare Senior Analyst I went. She, knowing this was not a simple problem to solve i.e. beyond her level of expertise, got an Apple Software engineer involved.
My primary frustration is that this should have been escalated to software engineering right away. My trip to see the Genius was, I believe, a waste of time for both me and Apple regarding this issue. Diagnosis of this type of problem is well beyond the Genius’ knowledge and job. The Genius did a very good job doing what he could within the scope of his job. He just couldn’t solve this problem and had no one within Apple to which he had access for help.
However, that initial consult with the engineer was a bit feeble. Not only could I not talk to him/her directly, his/her focus was still working with the ‘Black Box' approach. Having Analyst ask me to do stuff like restore the Phone was more like trying to find a 'work around' than 'identifying the real problem.' Maybe restoring the phone was going to fix some corrupted data on the phone sidesteping the real problem, the handling of this condition. The engineer did listen to the fact that I had restored the test phone, the 5s, and only added the use of my Apple ID. Duh, been there!!!
Having been an previous owner of a software development company that I started in 1980 and retired in 2001, I can tell you that using the 'Black Box' method of debugging is extremely inefficient. Instead, having access to an ‘Activity Manager’ type app to identify in real time what process was blowing up the data flow would have saved me a lost afternoon at the Apple store and hours on the phone with tech support.
Ironically, I may have stumbled onto a "work around" solution short of turning off Cell Data that stopped the excessive Cell Data usage and consequential battery drain. Just prior to leaving the Apple Store, I used one of their Macs to log in my Apple ID on the id.apple.com website to ‘Manage my Apple ID’, I was forced to upgrade the security level of my password. Afterward, my cell data usage seemed to drop dramatically.
I told the AppleCare Senior Analyst that I may have stumbled onto a workaround and I suggested that I give it a couple of days of monitoring. We'd talk then and I would have results to report. She agreed.
Sure enough, my Document & Sync usage was back to normal, about 1/2 Mb per day. Am I happy that the excessive Cell Data usage has stopped? You bet! But, there was no intuitive reason that an end user would know to log in on the ID website to unknowingly solve this problem. As I use to say to my employees, that is not the ‘Macintosh Way.’ And, rebooting the the 'Microsoft Way.'
When I reported my findings to the Analyst, we both concluded that data usage was back to normal. She did report to me that the engineer did provide a laundry list of suggested activities to help solve the problem. Remarkably, they were everything that I had already done and were pretty much what the Analyst and the Genius tried to do. All reasonable tasks. But clearly, the engineer hadn't even ready the notes on the case before responding. And, none of the things suggested would have uncovered the real problem, likely a logic bug in iOS.
My advice now is to have the software engineering team rule out that there was an unresolvable state that a background process was fiercely trying to handle. The iOS does not seem to know how to intervene and prompt the user with a requirement to upgrade their password. If this does end up being the case, I would call it a logic bug, a perpetual exception that is not being handled properly.
Anyway, I hope this helps you.

Memory upgrades and battery scratches

Good afternoon all!
I couldn't find where to email Lenovo directly so unfortunately I'm going to have to post here.
I'm probably going to catch some flak for this but hey ho, so heres the thing, I bought two brand new Lenovo 3000 N100's 5 years ago, all good, they both came with a 512MB SO-DIMM and since I wanted more memory I bought 2x1GB SO-DIMM's which I put in mine and put the other 512MB in the other one giving mine 2GB of RAM and my mum's 1GB of RAM.
Doing this was easy peasy, unscrew *ONE* screw and the flap just slides out of the two slots on the opposite side of the flap to the screw. Job done.
Scroll forwards 5 years and times have moved on... a lot and it seems like we apparently need to MASSIVELY over engineer things now.
So I bought three Lenovo 3000 G570's, all good stuff and all came with 1x2GB and 1x4GB for a total of 6GB, all good but me being me and a Firefox tab whore, what with RAM being so awesomely cheap I decided what I was going to do was get 8GB (2x4GB) SO-DIMMS (Corsair), take out ALL my existing memory, put in the new Corsair 2x4GB SO-DIMMS, take out the 2GB SO-DIMM from the one I got my sister and put in my now spare 4GB SO-DIMM giving me 8GB of RAM, my sister 8GB of RAM, my mum sticks with 6GB of RAM and I have 2x2GB SO-DIMM's left over spare.
SO, my sister and mum have already unboxed theirs and all is well, I unboxed mine, flipped it over and there are no less than *FOUR* screws holding the flap in now, granted there is just one 'flap' covering the CPU/RAM/HDD/WIFI/etc so okay fair enough, it's a big 'flap' after all.
So I undo said four screws and I should just be able to slide the panel out now right? Wrong, obviously four screws were deemed not nearly enough to keep it in place, so there are now tabs which are actually clipped in around pretty much all sides of this panel.
Well okay this can't be difficult right? Wrong. Now I'm a firm believer in the notion that if it won't budge don't just keep applying more and more force until something breaks. So I'm looking all over this thing, testing it gently from different sides to see if I can prise it open but it's becoming quickly apparent that I'm expected to BEND the panel so I can get the tabs out around the sides!
MASSIVELY over engineered and COMPLETELY unnecessary, were the FOUR screws not already holding it in place okay? It certainly seemed that they were? Okay so I need to bend the panel to get the tabs out but I'm guessing it's a reasonably easy thing to do not requiring much force right? Wrong. So it became quickly apparent then I'm going to need quite a bit of force, the problem is it's the kind of force that requires a flat head screwdriver and despite my best efforts it was impossible not to mark the bottom of my nice shiny brand new laptop! But that's not the end of it.....
So I've undone the four screws and I've managed to bend the panel and prize out all that tabs as gently as possible all whilst doing my best to try not slip the screwdriver underneath the panel taking a nice stab at the motherboard/memory/CPU/wifi/etc underneath because that would just *really* make my day, so the four screws and numerous tabs would be it right? Wrong. It appears that there is something underneath the panel STILL holding on, "more tabs?!" I cry in despair as my engineering family background cries out "WHY LENOVO GODS? WHY?!!! Does this panel need to survive a thermonuclear explosion?! Does it need to stay on whilst being driven over by a tank?! WHY?!".
So I'm trying everything, gently wriggling it this way, wriggling it that way, lifting it this side, lifting it that side, EVERY conceivable way of removing the final tab underneath I tried.... and failed. I pour through all the manuals again, maybe I've missed something? Maybe I'm just being completely thick (it's not unknown to happen)? But no, the manual makes it sound as easy as breathing so I give it one last try, I lift the panel putting more and more force through it until eventually BANG it comes off.... and I sit there staring.... laptop on the table.... the panel in my hands.... and the now broken tab.....
link to image
....wonderful.
With sigh I proceeded to install the new memory and replace the panel which now ironically goes on and comes off again SIGNIFICANTLY easier now the tab underneath has broken off and do you know what? The panel doesn't seem to have lost any of it's ability to stay in place? Funny that.
The other funny thing is that when I go to 'upgrade' my sisters laptop, the panel comes off EASILY! Maybe during assemble mine was done differently? Maybe the tolerances on mine just made it too tight to come off easily but with another sigh I go to put the battery in my new laptop so I can check all is well and what do I find?
The battery has scratches all over it:
link to image
All three brand new laptop boxes had the Lenovo seal on them so the retail store couldn't have opened it and my sister's and mum's laptop's were all fine?
So dear Lenovo, I love buying your laptops, I've bought five already, I'd buy again but would you be so generous as to send me a new panel and battery? I'd really appreciate your help.
Regards,
Benji

Problem with navigation and masthead by changing languages with Anonymous

Hi All,
i have a problem with navigation and masthead by changin the language when accessing as anonymous user.
Ive created two additional users anon_de (with language german )and anon_en (for english).
I've created also two links in the in masthead:
/irj/portal/anonymous?guest_user=anon_en and /irj/portal/anonymous?guest_user=anon_de
When i choose "de" for the first time it works fine, but when i choose "en" again the language in the content are is changing to english again, but not in navigation and masthead. When i click again on link for "en" the languge is set to english. Strange thing is that when i click on "de" instead the portal content change to german but masthead and navigation are in english now, as it should be before....
It seems that masthead and navigation have always prevoius language selected.
Do you know, what could be the reason of that strange behavior?
Thanks for help
Karol

Hi Detlev,
you are right. the user is not "updated" fast enough... the strange thing is, that it works by the first time i change the language...
well.. i can implement that workaround as you suposed, but it would be a really workaround as the same page will be requestes second time, causing requests number to be double..
Thanks for help
ps. i forgot to mark this message as question to give points.. if you tell me how i can change that ill reward your answer..

Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

So after updating my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3.1 i noticed a lag everytime i turn it back on. it stays on the lock screen for minutes sometimes hours. the screen is usually unresponsive the only things usually changing are the time and battery percentage.

so aafter upsating my touch to 4.3.1 i have noticed everytime i restart the ipod there is a huge lag at the lock screen. the screen only updates itself every three to five minutes only updating the time and battery status. i cannot do anything, usually it will stay like this for minutes sometimes hours. i have tried restoring it and thought updating will fix the problem but it hasn't yet. i currently have ios 4.3.3. recently i had a friend look into the ipod and he told me on a folder called damaged files he found this, 37c3ad com.apple.autowake.plist. how can i fix this?

Try a manual install following directions in link below.

Google Maps Navigation and Google Music problem

Hello,
I love the LG G2 but it has a few concerning issues. First, is the squealling, hissing, cracking, popping, etc. during phone calls, but I have seen that brought up by others.
The second problem that I've discovered, and the most upsetting to me, is that when using the Google Maps Navigation and Google Music All Access at the same time, whenever the navigation voice instructs a direction, the music shuts off. It is then silent until the navigation voice instructs the next direction OR when a new track starts. This was not a problem on my droid bionic, so it must be an LG G2 issue. This is a huge problem to me as I travel a lot for work and usually use GPS to find where I'm going, and I subscribe to Google Music All Access so I listen to music in the car. This problem makes that impossible to do (I have to choose).
A related issue, is that my Alpine CD player displayed track information (Artist, Song, Album) with my Droid Bionic, but with the LG G2 it displays 'UNKNOWN'. I find it hard to believe that a two year old phone has capabilities that a brand new phone wouldn't, so I'm hoping these issues will be fixed with a software patch.
Has anybody else experienced these issues, or does it work fine with your LG G2?

Hawaii is a part of the USA so you will be fine there. Mexico on the other hand, you will be roaming for data there and could see extra charges for international data.

Anyone having same problem? I phone 4 after updating to Vers.5.1.1. battery cannot be 100% full charge, always stop at 99% and battery drains off fast too :(

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

When checking mail. Signal, "E", time, and battery disappear?

Hey everyone I installed the most recent update on my iPhone but when I go and check my mail I can no longer see that little bar on the top where it would display the time, signal, and battery. It just turns grayish silver and the information that would normally appear doesn't. Anyone else having the same issues?

Yep, I'm experiencing the same issue and I've reported it to Apple via the iPhone Apple Feedback web site.

Firmware Upgrade and Battery Life?

Since the firmware upgrade on my Macbook in early February the fan appears to be running at full speed all the time and battery life is crap! Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix/workaround available please?

Sounds more like an app stuck processing that shouldn't be....does happen from time to time. Behing hot means it is constantly processing.
To fix:
Try a reboot (described below).
Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

For me, 2.1 works great.
