Why does my battery run out so quickly

The battery runs out on my iPad 3 really quickly - even when I close all the apps. Help.

Try turning off the following:
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Push>OFF
Settings>Notifications>Mail>Gmail>Notification Center>OFF

Why does my battery run out fast?

My battery on my iPhone 4S is always running out fast. I have to charge it multiple times in a day. I delete the running apps, but it still doesnt work.

Maybe because you never put it down.
Maybe because you never allow it to go to sleep.
Maybe because it is constantly checking email.
Possibly because some app is running using location services.
Try a search of the forums for battery issues, you'll find many threads with steps that can be taken to mitigate battery usage.
Depending on what I'm doing... I can easily make it through a full day on a single charge or completely drain the battery in about 6 hrs.

Why does my ink run out so quickly?

I have a Pixma MP620. I bought all new cartriges for it a couple of months ago, have printed only B&W word documents, and far fewer than 100 documents, yet my black is empty, and the magenta and cyan are dangerously low. The yellow is at half. I figure I've paid almost $1.00 per B&W page.
WTF?

Hi AndymAndym,
The amount of ink that the printer will use varies based on what is being printed, what print quality is selected, and what paper type is being used.
As a suggestion, you can do these things to conserve the amount of ink that is used by the printer:
1. Ensure that the paper type that you have the printer set to print to is set to PLAIN PAPER instead of a photo or other paper type. Using another paper type distributes the ink on the page differently, and in some cases uses more ink.
2. Ensure that the print quality is set to FAST or STANDARD. The higher the print quality setting, the more ink the printer will use.
3. If you find that you print more black and white documents than color documents, selecting the GRAYSCALE PRINTING option in the printer driver will use only the larger black ink tank in the unit to print, as long as PLAIN PAPER is sleected as the paper type, and single-sided printing is being performed. When duplex (double-sided) printing is performed, or if another paper type than plain paper is selected, a combination of the color inks will be used to create the black text on the page, even if the grayscale option is selected.
4. Keep the printer out of direct sun light and away from heating vents, as this can dry out the ink tanks.
Hope this helps!

Why does my battery run out when charging?

I updated my iPad to iOS 7.0.2 and when ever I use my iPad and it's charging, it will still lose battery life. Is there anyway to fix this?

Make sure you are using a 10W/12W charger and plug into wall socket.

Why is my battery running out?????

So I got my iPod 5 like 5 months ago and for like the first 2 months it was working pretty great. But after that, the battery life just kept on getting worse and worse. To the point where the battery would only last 5 minutes continuisly. But if I turn it off and keep it turned off for like 15 minutes its back at like a 100%. And then I use it and it goes back to 20%. Its like a rollercoaster!!! When i charge my iPod overnight, its doesnt even fully charge in the morning. Download speeds have been slow lately. When it runs out of battery, I charge it and the second I put the plug in it turns on. Before when it ran out and I put the plug in and it turned on, it would be at 100%. Im like ***!!! Now it doesnt even do that. And I seriously dont know what to do. I've reset my ipod like 4 times and it hasen't made any diffrence. I've turned off almost all my notifications. I don't have like 100 apps. And im running ios 7.1. Please, I need someones help because I really want my iPod to work. THX!!!

% battery on an iPod is not accurate. Large fluctuation in % battery with load changes like turning the iPod off and then back on is normal.
The test is how log does a full chargfe last (charge overnight) last/ 4-5 hours of vide seems normal.
If problems charging:
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod
Iphone 5 lightning port charging problem - SOLUTION!
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

If you have short run time try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why does my itouch 3g battery run out so quickly when i use apps?

I recently bought a ipod touch 3g off somebody else. I have found that when I go on to any apps that i have downloaded, the battery reduces. One time I went to play a game for about 20 minutes and went back to the home screen to find my battery had decreased by 20%. Has anyone had the same problem?

If you have iOS 5 installd it ends to drain the battery a little faster. See the following for extending battery life:
iPod: How to extend battery life
Also, with use the battery capacity goes down and % wise it drains faster.

Why does the Battery run down so fast?

Im a first time BB user And really need to know how long should the BB 8520 battery life last- I bought the phone 4 days ago And had to charge it twice since then.
I understand why the battery ran down the first 2 days- used the phone a lot to input data And load pictures, music..... But after the second charge I hardly used the phone( only received text message, phone calls ) I did no browsing, no facebook, no IM, didn't listen to music, didn't take any pictures, didn't receive any emails yet- my BIZ has not yet been activated.
This morning it was 100% And now its 70% - And as I said I only received And sent text messages (SMS) And phone calls
am I being silly And should I just expect that from BB.
And should I switch the phone off at night or just leave it in bed side mode?

I want to know how i fix it?

Why does the ink dry out so quickly in the 564 cartridges?

I have a 7510 all in one. I just replaced the ink about a month ago. I pinted less than a dozen 4 x 6 pictures. I didn't print again till today - approximately a month. The ink is dry and I had to replace the magenta, blue, yellow and photo cartridges. When it works it works great. This is very disappointing. Our last color printer was an HP and it worked great till we replaced it. Is this a known problem and is there a solution?

Hi,
Please check the following information:
http://www.hp.com/pageyield/au/en/PSC5300/index.html
We normally can only get up to around 80% to 85% of those numbers or say 170 pages. Roughly 4 x 6 = 1/4 A4 sheet that measn we can print 170 x 4 = 680 pages 5% coverage or 34 to 50 of 4 x 6 with 100% coverage.
Regards.

Battery runs out very quicky in iOS 4.0.1

Hello dear supporters.
i'm new here (thats my first messege :)) but i do know a thing or 2 about using the iphone.
(i support all day long in an israeli support forum.)
But I do have a problem:
I've updated to iOS 4.0.1 and since then, the battery runs out so quickly, even in stand by mode i lose about 20% in 3-4 hours.
when i serf on safari and app store, wifi or 3G, i lose like 15% in 30-60 minutes or so.
the same thing when i talk on the phone, listen to music, play games etc.
i've talked to some other guys, they were on 4.0.1 and they downgraded to 4.0 but they still have the same battery problems just like i have. the same problems.
in the other hand, guys who are on 4.0 and didn't update, don't suffer from any battery problems what so ever...
my question is this:
is there any problem in 4.0.1 that leaves a "mark" on the iphone that makes the battery get a little bit hot and run out quickly?
is there any good solution?
iphone 3GS's, some are jailbroken and some are not...

Me and my friend came to a conclusion and we think that there's a bug in 4.0.1 that makes the modem work 300% harder and therefor the battery runs out quickly, and as you know, modem cannot be downgraded, and yet there's no new modem. So every one who updated to 4.0.1 even for 1 minute is stuck right now with a modem that uses the battery in a bad way.
(maybe it's connected to the signal appearance update in 4.0.1...)
What do you all think people?

I bought my 15" macbook pro i7 just a year ago and my battery life runs out extremely quick..at fully charged it says I only have 2:27 of usage time. I didn't pay for that-what can I do about it? I do have Apple care. Thanks.

I bought my 15" macbook pro just a year ago and my battery life runs out extremely quickly. This started maybe a month or two ago. Its hard to tell. I only noticed the rapid change recently. Fully charged it says I have 2:27 (2 hours and 27 minutes) of usage time...with about 50% screen and keyboard brightness.
I've checked inside system preferences and its cycle count is 261 and full charging cap is 6316.
I have apple care...is this something i can/need to take up with apple. You'd think if you pay the price for these machines you should get mroe use out of them.
ONLY A YEAR I'VE HAD THIS!
My PC lasted 4 years before the battery showed signs this dramatic of wear.
Any help is appreciated, im new mac owner. thanks.

do you have a mbp with dual video cards? running the system with the higher end card increases the heat and also drains batt power.
i have the 1st gen unibody (2008) with an original removable battery of 311 cycles and 4453 charge. under normal use ill be happy to get 1.5hrs. the mac battery counter thing says i have 3.3hrs though (whatever). compared to me, i think you use your battery more than i do, perhaps its the reason why it degraded so fast in a year?

Satellite L850 - after 1 year of usage battery runs out quickly

Hi, through programs such as care or BatteryBar battery battery I see a Toshiba Satellite L850 *battery wear from 48%* currently. I notice that playing a game the battery runs out quickly, as the warm up by a lot, and often descalibra and behaves erratically.
The laptop is a year old. Is it normal for the battery to wear so much in so little time?
Would you accept a guarantee or battery replacement can claim wear caused by misuse?

First of all you have to know that battery working time depends on the notebook usage.
Running heavy performance applications like a game would discharge the battery much quickly. Why? Because parts like GPU and CPU and cooling modules run at highest performance and this needs power.
Also using the notebook with highest display brightness would discharge the battery faster.
You should also know that every battery would start to loose own performance after about 500 charging cycles. This is nothing unusual and will happen to all batteries.
To avoid or to slow down this process, its recommended to calibrate the battery from time to time.
Calibrating means charging and discharging the battery fully.
Charge the battery until it would be fully charged, then disconnect the AC adaptor and keep the battery discharging until its fully empty. Repeat this procedure 2-3 times in the row.
