X201 - Incomplete Win7x64 Shutdown drains battery

Does anyone else have any issues with their x201 where the computer *appears to execute a full shutdown* (screen goes black, power light goes off, etc. but when you go to turn the machine on later, the battery is drained?
Its happened to me a couple of times - once or twice after I thought it was shut down and I unplugged it, I heard the warning beep, but lately it seems like its completely off and I unplug it (no warning beep) and it drains the battery.
The battery itself appears to be fine - I can get 4 or 5 hours out of it with normal use - but if left overnight after one of these incomplete shutdowns, then it drains all the way down.
So far this hasn't been an issue because most of the time I just plug the machine right in - but I'm gonna be pretty bummed if I get to someplace with no outlets and turn it on only to find I have no battery.

Hi one of our managers has just reported this issue with his x201 also running win7x64. did you ever find a solution to this?
Cheers

Drained battery with iPhone 3G 3.0 upgrade

I loaded the new 3.0 software a few days ago with no problems. Today I found that my "turned off/ idle" phone in my pocket had gone to the new Apple recorder program and has been recording for 58 minutes by the time I discovered it. So unknown if this will be a source of battery drain by a program starting on its own (buggy?).

mine lasts a lot.
this is pretty much the daily use of my iPhone3G using 3.0 for a week.
i work from 7am to 4PM, one hour break time in that timeline , its on standby for 8 hours , on break time i pretty much make heavy use of Youtube , Safari and Mail among other Apps like IM+ and sometimes some games, after my work day i still have almost 50% of battery left.
my settings
Push is set to manual
Notifications are On and have 4 apps on it
the internet connection is always 3G
so my guess is that you guys do heavy use of your phones all day or maybe you guys are leaving the Safari , Mail and IPod apps running in the background.
test this and see if your battery lasts longer.
after every use of Safari , Mail or IPod before putting your Phone into standby do this, open safari, then press and hold the top button until you see the slide to power off option, release that button and now hold down home button (square) , after 6 seconds it will return to the home screen and Safari will be closed now ,do the same for Mail and IPod, open mail press top button until off slide , hold home for 6 seconds , then open Mail , hold top button until off slide then home for 6 seconds, now apps that don't shutdown like Safari , Mail and IPod will shutdown and the phone will use less battery while on standby. if you open them again they will again remain open and drain battery.
there was a function on 3.0 when it got announced that it would close every app to save battery, people complained about it, apple listened and removed that function. now only Safari ,Mail and IPod apps stay processing and wasting battery in the background.

Heating Up & Draining battery fast on iPhone 5s after iOS 7.1 update

Hi,
I updated my iPhone 5s 64GB to iOS 7.1 & it's heating up and draining battery so fast not to mention when I charge it , it takes longer time to charge!
I didn't have this issue before on the previous version. I tried restoring my iPhone two times & also rebooting my iPhone five times, but nothing works!
I've looked in other complaints and some of them suggested to switch off background app refresh and locations!
I didn't have this issue before and I won't turn them off because if the problem because of it then I should experience the same problem on the previous version and why would I turn it off? So what's the purpose of the phone?
My wife, my sister, my brother & my mom they got an iPhone 5 and they don't experience this problem except me!
My iPad Air and my wife iPad Mini 2( Retina Display) and there is no problem with the iOS 7.1 .
I've looked in other websites and found that there are other people experiencing the same problem. Apple should fix this problem ASAP!
Is there anyone experiencing the same problem and what did he/she do to fix it incase he/she fixed it !

I don't have any issues with my 5S on 7.1
Have you actually taken your phone to the Apple store and have them look at it?
Even if you don't want to turn off background app refresh, you should turn it off and see what the results are.
also you said you restored twice, did you restore as NEW?

Yoga 2 Pro Draining Battery Fast in Sleep Mode

I have a new Yoga 2 Pro with i7 processor. It works great and normal battery life is about 4-5 hours. But with a fully charged battery, i can close the lid at night triggering sleep mode, and wake up to an almost dead battery.
Why is this happening? It's really dissapointing and I'm going to return it if I can't find a fix. I'm on the latest BIOS with all current updates. I am not using Hibernate mode.
Closing the lid shoud not cause battery to continue to drain at normal usage rates.
I'm hoping it's the WINDOWS 8 software but I've tried all the settings I can find.

the OP said battery was draining overnight because y2p was not going into sleep mode. then op changed some settings and, as i understand it, now his y2p does not drain battery overnight because he pushes power button and it goes into hibernate mode before closing lid.
I would like to raise the issue of the difference between hibernate and sleep mode. I too find that if i put my y2p (and my mbp-bootcamp) into hibernate mode then my battery does not drain overnight. however, both my laptops drain the battery overnight in sleep mode... anyone have clear understanding of this? i've look at many articles on the web, but haven't found any that specifically indicate how fast sleep mode should drain batteries. I think my gf's mba-OSx also drains overnight in sleep mode and OSx doesn't even have a hibernate option (correct me if i'm wrong)...

I have an apple ipod. it has a drained battery and i have been unable to switch it back on. i have plugged it in to charge but its more dead than a dodo. can anyone help?

Help!
My kids IPOD touch has a drained battery. Usually I charge it and all is rosey. Not this time its showing no signs of life at all. Does anyone have any ideas please? Many thanks

Try a different charger. If that doesn't work, hold down the home and power buttons down at the same time for 10 seconds while the iPod is on the charger and see if it shows any signs of life. If none of the above work, you should set up a Genius Bar appointment at your locla Apple store. If you don't have a local Apple Store, you should call Apple customer support to get a replacement iPod.

IPod touch not responding and has white screen. Tried to restore, drain battery and re-charge etc but still nothing. What can I do?

Try what you have not tried so far. You may have tried all and the Apple store maybe in order.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

It not the service pack mate, it the new Map 3.08 that comes with the OTA update. Or even worse, apparently 3.08 is embedded with the V25 firemware for N8.

6.1.1 update is draining battery

6.1.1 update is draining battery can't back up the phone without 6.1.1 updating too!

I did find a fix online. Delete your email account then turn your phone off for five minutes. Then you can add back your email account. I did this yesterday and it seems to have helped a lot. Good luck

Hello Igor,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I would be concerned too if my iPhone were heating up and losing battery life quickly. There are a few articles I found that might help with what you are experiencing on your iPhone.
The first thing I recommend is quitting open applications. You can find an article with the steps to that here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
If you are still experiencing the same issues on the iPhone after quitting all the apps that are currently open, follow the steps below:
Battery life seems short
Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.

I hope this helps!

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
HELP!

The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.
