What is your battery life?

After full charge, it says
Usage: ~5hrs
Standy By: ~1Day
until the battery dies.
Notes: Wifi is on all the time and mostly used for Safari. Couple of calls a day. Sometimes randomly turning it on to look at the clock or just look at the menu.
Is this about right? What is your stats?

someone mentioned that the iphone will notify you at 20% and 10%. my phone doesn't do that actually I have noticed that my batter will only go down a little more than half then all of the sudden it will display the red battery saying the battery is completely drained and I can turn on the phone. My battery life is great but this really frustrates me since i can't really tell when to charge my phone. any solutions? (im using version 1.1.2)

T500 users, what's your battery life?

Here's my specs:
T500 2.4ghz w/ 4gb ram, purchased october 09
Battery: 9-cell
Graphics: "energy saving" mode
Life: only 2.5 hours battery life, three if I'm lucky.
Usage: just have about 10 tabs open on chrome, no flash or anything
What are you guys getting? Other reviews claimed people getting about six hours. I did the battery gauge reset earlier today, it calculated a max of a little less than three hours as well.
My friend's t400 2.2ghz (with 9-cell) seemed to last for six hours easily, possibly more than that.

I ended up stumbling upon this thread ( http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Discussion/Battery-Life-Decrease-In-Windows-7/td-p/168772/page... )and have the same symptoms of the fan constantly running among other things.
I'm updating power manager to see if it'll fix things, otherwise I'm getting tempted to cave and buy something else.

What happens to battery life if alarm is not shut down?

If the ipod alarm is set and you don't notice it, what happens to the ipod? Will alarm be quiet after a few minutes? Will alarm not stop?
what happens to battery life if alarm is not turned off?

Not odd...On Verizon if it is not set up, you will hear a recording that says "Im sorry, but the party you are trying to reach has a vm box that has not been set up yet". It will show as missed if the phone is on, and will appear in the log if the phone is on. If the phone is powered off, the call does not show in the log when turned back on. It will appear as if it never happened. You will only know if you get a VM (if its set up) or if the person tells you, hey I called you!

3GS Upgraded to OS 3.1.2, How is your battery life now?

I upgraded to 3.1 only to find my battery life halved to around 4-6 hrs depending on use.
I then upgraded to 3.1.2 hoping this would be fixed, but no luck.
I use this for work but it wont even last 1 8hr business day without a charge.... not impressed!
How is your battery life since upgrading to 3.1.2?
Is Apple working on fixing this some time soon, or do I start looking for a new "non-iPhone" phone?

My battery life has been just fine with all OS versions; no change with 3.1.2

Many of us have no problems with battery life. So I'm not sure there's anything general for Apple to fix -- but your iPhone may need attention. Why not take it to to a Genius Bar?

To many different suggestions as to battery life of the MacPro. Is there one way to keep your battery life, do I keep it plugged in to AC or do I not?

To be honest, I would only plug it in when necessary. On my older 2009 MBP, I plug it in at night and it lasts me a solid 5-6 hours, if it needs to be plugged in during the day, I usually do it with about 2-3 hours left.

What is your battery capacity loss?

Hello people.
I'm just wondering what is your battery capacity loss ? Mine is about 16% after 14 months, so about 1.14%/month. I've been moving my laptop quite frequently

...but i think the real value is aroud 5100..5200, this after 2 years (so, about 5..6% total), pretty good.
When let the battery goes down to 40%, i recharge or just shut down waiting for a power source.

What is average battery life everyone is getting for the Zen Mic

I just got my Zen Micro last Thursday. I'm concern about the battery life. I haven't fully tested the battery yet, but I'm estimating that I will only get about 6-7 hours for it. The advertised time was suppose to be as much as 2 hours. Now I know that depends on your usage (e.g. volume, bitrate of the file, play mode, etc.). What are other people getting? Thanks.

My last test, I tried to be as natural as possible. That is: back light is on; shuffle mode is on; eq is on; volume is normal (at 4 to 6); I skip or go back to tracks; I fast foward; the contrast is at 50 percent; average bitrate (from 28 to 360); smart sound off; and other minor things that I can't remember. That test gave me only 7.5 hours.
I think that is pretty modest usage. Any average mp3 user would do the same thing. Yet, I only got 7.5 out of the possible 2. I don't like the sounds of that.
I'm running another test right now with the same conditions above, and I'll let you guys know what I get.

Another very good set of tips to extend your battery life

ALL,
From any screen press and HOLD the Home Button until the Task Manager appears. Then touch the words Task Manager. At the top of the next screen you will now see 4 choices. Lightly slide your finger from right to left and drag the entire 4 choices to the left and you will see Help...touch it.
Wa-La, there it is, Tips to Extend Battery Life.
Hope you like it and that it helps you. I particularly like tips 1 and 4, how about you.

JerryF,
You need to write a book, "How to tweek your Droid: What the techies don't know"

Give me your battery life specs

Got the iPhone 4, not quite as happy with it has I had expected to be. Considering switching to the TB. I hear mized things about the battery--both that it is poor, and also that there are ways to significantly increase battery life. Please give me your specs--how heavily do you use your TB and how long do you get out of a single charge?

Everyone's usage is different. For telephone calls only, it is "OK." As a media player, the stock battery is just "OK." Add Internet access, it gets challenging. You can significantly extend the battery life by (a) turning off 4G, (b) spending more money as was probably planned by getting the extended battery which should solve most battery issues entirely. If you turn off 4G, people report life similar to that of a droid x.
While there are people that say the phone lasts them through the day, make no mistake, the battery is very poor. HTC plays a regular game by seeing how low capacity of a battery it can put into the phone (this 4G battery actually has 10% LESS power capacity than the 3G Droid X). Like a bullet to the brain that this wouldn't be a great idea.
Despite all of this, if I had a choice between the iPhone and the Thunderbolt, I wouldn't even consider it a choice. You don't always need 4G but having it is beneficial. If the iPhone isn't for you, I'd say that you'll love having all the neat stuff for Android and not dealing with iTunes, DRM and Apple's limits of the OS for transferring files. If you like the screen size (I do) for text entry, etc. then it's an easy choice right now.
First, how can you turn off 4G? I thought there wasn't an option for that?
4G isn't an issue for me---I don't need it. If I could easily turn if off, it would make the TB a lot more appealing to me. I guess what I am really trying to decide is do I:
a) get the TB and deal with poor battery life, even though the phone is really more than i need
b) get the Samsung Fascinate even though it is very buggy
c) cross my fingers and wait until the end of the month until the Incredible 2 is released.
To do option (c) I would have to return my iphone, revert back to my previous plan and reactivate my bb, and wait another few weeks. Certainly doable but also a hassle.

What should the battery life on my 13" Macbook air be?

I have a 13" macbook air (mid 2012) and the battery life is around 2.5 to 3 hours. I know after a while the strength of the battery diminishes but should i only be getting about 2.5 hours? I am still under apple care till 2015 should I have apple look at it and repair/replace battery? I know on the newer 13" models the battery is 12 hours (new processor and chips) but still shouldn't my battery last longer than 2.5 hours?

It should get a great dea; ,pre tjam 2 1/2 hours. First a question. Is this the actual amount of time you are getting or is it the estimate provided by the battery menulette icon? The estimate is often very wrong.
But assuming this is actual battery life, the first thing to do is run the Activity monitor, click on the CPU tab, and then click on the % CPU column so the little triangle is pointing down. This will give you a list of all the processes your computer is running and at the top of the list you'll see the ones that are taking up the most power. Also, if your Dock is hidden, temporarily unhide it. Now click and hold the mouse button on the Activity Monitor icon in the Dock. You'll get a little menu. Select Dock iCon and then CPU Usage. This icon will give you blue bars for each CPU core. Lots of blue means high CPU usage and lots of grey means low CPU usage.
As you use your computer keep an eye on the AM icon. If your battery problem is due to high CPU usage you'll see the bars in the AM icon showing lots of blue frequently. It may be due to the program(s) you are using. For example, VMWare and Windows 8 are battery killers. So are 3D games. But if you are word processing, checking email, etc you shouldn't see more than a glimmer of blue most of the time.
If it turns out you don't have high CPU useage the problem could be the battery and that means a trip to the Apple store.

How is your battery life? (on new ZEN on

Well, after the firmware update I thought I'd give it a try and see how long it would last.Last time I did this I got 22 hours, with the first update, the sd card one. This time it ran for 28 hours! With volume 5/25, when I did my last test with 22 hours, I only had it at 5/25 volume.No EQ, no smart?volume, no bass boost etc...And most of my music is 96 kps wma or 28 kps mp3 with a few 92 kps mp3s I've downloaded recently. Then while I'm doing?the test, I'm looking at the Zen page to see how they got battery life(sometimes they say half volume at 28 kps mp3 etc) and I noticed they upped it to 30 hours life instead of 25!Now I don't feel so special. :P?So, I just want to know how much juice you get out of your ZEN?And say if you use eq, volume level, bass boost, kps, etc

Hi guys, you will not keep your player on all day long, so you will not get those?playback durations in normal daily use... i tried all the f/w and now i?use my zen?with the .03.04 f/w and it gives me about 4-5 hours (EQ on, Bass Boost and Smart Volume off and i browse the player much)... yesterday, after an approximately 3 days of daily use (4-5 hrs/day) it got down to the final bar... This is better?than the new f/w?s?for me because when I turn it off with the new f/w s it drains quickly because of the hot standby mode... if you have any solutions for this issue (except leaving it turned on ) i will update my f/w too... coz i can not use my SD card as well as i want to especially while watching video...
