X220 Battery charge drains when completely powered off

The original 6 cell battery charge drains when my X220 (i7 2640) is completely powered off or hibernates. When the battery is detached no charge is lost. When I disable WOL and Always-On USB, the charge lost decreases. Is this a common issue or do I face a hardware malfunction?

The fingerprint reader will drain a fair amount of power waiting for a swipe while the system is off (unless you have this option disabled).

Nano battery continues to drain when its turned off..why?

my nano battery continues to drain when its turned off..why?

Have you updated to the latest software? Connect to itunes and hit the update button on the summary screen for the ipod to find out. If there is an update, install it.
Usually, your battery drains when your not using it because it is still playing. As of the 1.1 udpate, they have a feature that tries to preserve your battery life. If you unplug the headset, this feature works to save your battery. So with the latest update, if you unplug your headset when you are done listening, it should put the nano to sleep so that it does not drain your battery.

Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

Full Battery Drain Overnight while Powered Off. -Defective Unit or?

I bought a new iPod Classic 80gb over the weekend and had charged it the same day via the included USB cable... Powered it off in the evening before going to bed by holding the play/pause button until the screen went black and I wake up the next morning to find that the battery is completely drained and the unit won't power up until its charged again.
Ok, so I figure this might just have been a fluke occurrence and that maybe I did something wrong in turning it off- but the EXACT same thing happened to me again this morning after doing a full charge just the previous night. I powered it off by holding play/pause as soon as it finished charging. Then I get into my car this morning ready to listen to some music on my commute and I get a message saying the battery is completely drained and it needs to be recharged...
How this has happened twice in 4 days I don't know, but hopefully someone may have an idea or might be experiencing the same thing? Am I doing something wrong? I haven't loaded anything other than music onto it and this has happened twice already since I bought it just a few days ago.
There is no video on it whatsoever and the battery has drained from 100% to 0% in a matter of 6 hours, while powered off, on two separate occasions.
I'd hate to think I just wasted $260+ dollars on a dud piece of equipment but if this persists I'll be returning it by week's end as it looks to be defective.

I bought Ipod Nano 2G and have the same problem, Charge 4 hours, then, when I use it , Ipod suddenly restart and the battery drains near to 98% of capacity, or when I power off the nano after use it, next morning or severals hours later, the battery is completly drain, and Ipod doesn't response, just response until I connect to USB port of my Computer or ITrip, and show the "extremely battery low message".
I use my ipod only in my car with my iTrip car, but some times y use it for some Long travels in plane, its works ok, but some days ago ( near to sept. /8 ) start with this failures.
Here some of my Hipotesis, It's may be related with the new software version 1.3.1 ? its install some days ago trought Itunes.
If the problem is the software? some one know if exist some software to downgrade the software from 1.3.1 to older version?
I found some things about this procedure , but only works to 1.2
Sorry for my inglish.

Battery instantly drains when plugged into charger

A few days ago I went to plug in my BB at 1/4 full battery and when I did, the screen went blank, but the key pad was still lit up. I tried pulling the battery, but nothing turned on. I left it for a day and then tried it in my car charger, which charged it a little, and made me able to atleast turn it on, but the battery was completly drained. But I took it into my provider anyways and asked them to take a look at it. But as luck would have it, it worked perfectly for them with all 3 types of chargers (wall, car and usb). I brought it home and it charged fine with the wall charger. But today it did the same thing...Does anyone know what could be wrong?

I don't know if it's the battery, the microUSB charge/data port, firmware or electronics ... but my 8220 Pearl Flip is now a BRICK! It's happened before that it dies and fails to light up when the charger or sync cable is plugged in but at some point battery re-insertion would start the charging. Either the Canadian engineers or the Mexican factory workers have messed up badly with this device. If it ever powers up, I'll try removing every app
As an experienced PC technician, I conclude that a BlackBerry Mini External Battery Charger might be the only solution until RIM provides a fix. Get a spare C-M2 battery unless you want to carry the external charger with you and don't mind waiting for it to build up a charge. I've just ordered both on Amazon.
Found these 3 posts: ["I talked to a sales rep at TMobile about this, and she just said, "Well, just keep your phone charged and you won't have that issue." Hmmm, you think? My god, I charge my phone nearly every night, but I also use it a lot for work. If the battery gets low and I'm at work and still need to use it, then what? I've never had a phone where I couldn't just plug it in and keep using it. Very frustrating. Anyway, my question for people who already have the Flip is, does that phone have that issue, or is it possible to plug it in and use it, even if the battery indicates that it's low when you plug it in to charge? I'd hate to buy another phone that doesn't allow that."]
["I just got the 8220 flip two days ago. After charging, the battery lost more than 50% of the charge in less than 12 hours! I was told that this thing only needed to be charged ONCE A WEEK and that if it doesn't hold the charge, it needs to be sent back.... I am thinking that it's not just my flip that's defective, perhaps it's the whole product line."]
["I am having the same issue. About 10 hours of standby time. Even if I turn off all radios including the mobile network the phone is dead by the morning, every morning. This one is going back (I may try another, or just give up on the Flip)."]

HT4060 Battery drains with iPad powered off

Hello,
Battery drains even with ipad 2 powered off. And batterys since i use IO7 drains a lot faster even in airplane mode etc,etc.
What can you tell me?
Alejandro

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (2.5W, 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.

Battery draining when unit is off

I have a 8800 and would like to know if anyone else is experiencing the unique behavior of my unit. If I leave it on, the battery drains slowly overnight - the unit might use 3-5% of its battery availability, but if I use the Auto On/Off feature and let the phone go off for 8 hours, it will drain 50% of its battery while off. I have refreshed the unit to the latest firmware available from Rogers wireless and am also using the latest desktop software, and have no third party apps.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

That's a good suggestion - and I've actually already done that. That's how I had the option not to install messenger. At this point, I'm confident that the problem isn't related to anything that I am doing with my unit, or anything that I've installed on my unit, but I am curious to learn if anyone else has experienced the same issue. If there is a bug in the version of the OS, then I would expect a lot more Rogers subscribers to have the same problem.
Leaving the unit on does provide me with great battery life - drained about 25% over a 3 day weekend, but it still bothers me that I can't turn it off without discharging the battery.

Battery slowly drains when playing games

When I am playing games on my Macbook Pro (15', 2.4GHz) or performing other intensive tasks, my battery slowly drains. This is especially bad when bootcamped into XP at which point it will drain if I simply have the brightness of the screen up past half way. I was just playing Age of Empires 3 and upon quitting saw that my battery was at 13%. The laptop once shut off completely while I was playing Bioshock. Is this normal, and if not, how do I fix it?

It could be normal behavior. This article about running the MBP without the battery installed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332
implies that a high-demand process can draw power from BOTH the battery and the AC line:
This prevents the computer from shutting downif it demands more power than the A/C adaptor alone can provide.

Iphone 5 battery suddening draining when not in use

Had my iphone 5 for about 3 months and was very pleased with the battery life. But literally out of no where the battery started draining super fast. Dropping 15% in 30 minutes when not in used. Here's the deal...nothing has changed ie locations, email, icloud etc. And quite honestly what is the freaking point of having those things if it drains the battery at unreasonable speeds. So I completely frustrated with Apple for at least not saying "we understand theres and issue and we are working on it." I will never switch cuz I'm an idiot Apple diehard but there have been so many bugs of late it's just frustrating. Also at the same time of the fast drain when I swipe to delete a text the delete button dissapears within one second. Both issues came on at the same time. I'm trying reseting the battery, restoring, unchecking notifications and a bunch of other features which is so stupid... whats the point of having a smart phone if you can't use the features? So I am going to demand a new phone and I know the Apple Genius guys who are so far from genius its pathetic are going to say nothing is wrong with the phone haha, just like the did with the super slow WiFi connections I get...they were completely unaware that there was a problem with iphones and Wifi cuz of course at the Apple Store the Wifi flies when they test it there but of course once you go back to your home or business the Wifi is back to super slow. Wow the things we put up with. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions please reply.

My iphone died and when I plugged it back in to charge it when it powered on the screen remained black. I can hear when I receive a text and a hear siri. I have tried holding down the sleep and home button

My iphone died & I plugged it back in to charge when it powered on the screen remained black. I can hear when I receive a text and siri. I have tried holding down the sleep and home button and restoring in itunes neither worked. The screen on the phone is cracked but has been working fine until now. Please help!!!

Here's how to perform the restore:
HT1414
If you can actually get to restore, maybe (I estimate a 0.01% chance) you'll be able to do a backup before the restore. Actually, from the symptoms you describe, I suspect a restore won't work either and you'll need to do a recovery.
Just in case, if you need to recover (restore fails), here's how. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once.

Battery lowers even when laptop is off

When I shut off my laptop then turn it on in the morning or whenever, the battery percentage is lower than before i turned it off. Does this happen to anyone else?

Hi @Saarthak_b,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having concerns about your battery life on your HP Notebook PC. I will try my best to help you with this issue. To better guide you, could you please tell me the full model or product number of your computer and the operating system that is running on it. Here are some guides for How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? and Which Windows operating system am I running?.
In the meantime, here is a document for Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 8) that may resolve this issue for you.
I hope this helps, please let me know how it goes.
Thank you and have a nice day!
I worked on behalf of HP.

I pod charged up /battery still drains when off

I have the 2G i pod classic. It charges up fine I disconnect it and turn it off but when I go to play it the battery is not fully charged? what is draining it when its oFF???

How long are you waiting? The iPod's battery will slowly drain simply because the iPod still needs to use the power to keep things like the clock going.
Now, if you turn it off and turn it back on five minutes later, the battery should still appear to be fully charged.
Also, just for some general information (just as a sort of "FYI") there some battery tips here:

If an iPod touch 5th Gen is completely powered off, can apps still run down the battery?

Hello,
I own an iPod touch 5th generaion that is less than 2 months old, it worked great until about a week ago then the battery started depleting rapidly, usually fully within a 12 hour period even if I did not use the unit.
I started trying to figure out if there is anyting I cold do and learned a lot about apps left open draining the battery, etc. but making sure they were all closed did not help.
I then restored the unit to factory default, but this does not help.
The last thing I tried was to turn the unit completed off at night using the power switch by holding it until the unit turns off.
My question is, once I do this can any app use any power at all?
The reason I ask is because I had spoken with 3 Apple technicians and all 3 of them do not understand or can answer the question. They keep asking me if I know how to look in the taskbar to turn off the apps which once the power is off is not an available option.
I will greatly appreciate your response.
Mike.

Thanks so much for your answer.
Yes, I am sliding to power off.

I just began using my Apple iphone4 and I dont know why the backlight does not turn-off timer does not exist anywhere that I can find. So my battery gets drained when I'm not using my phone. Does anyone know how to adjust it?

Does anyone know why the backlight on my iphone4 does not turn off automatically?

It's called "auto-lock" - adjust the time in the Settings app to a lower amount.
