Yoga S1 Can we turn off battery charging?

I am a new user for the Yoga S1, but I was wondering if it is possible to turn off battery charging. I mainly use my laptop at a desk (so I rarely leave it unconnected from Power Plug). I know this is bad for the battery. On a dell that I own (Inspiron 14z) i can turn off battery charging when the laptop is plugged into the ac power plug. Is this possible w/ the lenovo yoga S1? The closest I've gotten to doing this was seeing an ability to turn off battery charging via BIOS, but that is only temporary (when comp is off and unplugged to switch out battery).
Any suggestions woiuld be greatly appreciated.

But why turn off battery charging, makes no sense in this case. You either run off the battery or plug it in and run off the battery while it is charging.
The power draw won't change appreciably.
My bad power consumption will change
It would seem the best strategy would be to get on with a fully charged battery plug in the laptop and let it trickle charge as you use it. Given the length of the flight this should give you the longest use with the minimum amount of draw from the seat outlet.

How can I turn off battery charging when plugged in to power on a plane?

Hi,
is there an app that can turn off battery charging while plugged in?
I regularly fly from Australia to Europe (22 hours on the plane!) but the power outlet usually stalls when draining too much power
(e.g. 85 Watts for my Macbook Pro battery).
Any solutions available?
I used to just take out the battery, however, that is not possible anymore on the Macbook Pro.
Thanks for your help.
Christoph

Can you turn off the charging feature when using accessories?

Can you turn off the charging feature when using accessories with the iPad?

You cannot overcharge the battery when using the power adapter. Once the battery is fully charged, the iPad will no longer continue to charge if it is still connected. I leave my iPad on the power adapter for hours on end - on weekends when I am not at work.

These are both worthwhile reading for concerns about the battery and how to properly maintain it.
I know nothing about external speakers with the iPad since I do not use them - but If the speaker is with a dock of some sort that charges the iPad - you should have no worries. If it is a dock that charges the iPad - I know of no way to turn off the charging feature, but it will not shorten the life of the battery anyway as long as the battery is properly maintained and cared for.

Can you turn off the "Charging not supported with this device" messages?

I recently bought a standard dock extender cable in order to connect my iPad to my Apple HiFi and have had music from Pandora constantly interrupted by sporadic "Charging not supported with this device" messages. The messages will continue to come up repeatedly despite pressing the "Dismiss" bar repeatedly.
Is there a way to turn those kinds of warnings off in either iPad Settings or in iTunes when docking the iPad?

Try connecting the iPad to the iPod Hi-Fi with a male to male mini-stereo cable. I use one of these cables to connect my Airport Express to my iPod Hi-Fi, so that I can use it with AirTunes.
You can even combine the cable with the Apple iPad Dock, which would let you charge the iPad while using it with the iPod Hi-Fi.

How can I turn off push for sent items in an Exchange account?

I have an Exchange account set up in iOS8.3. I would like to set the sent folder to fetch rather than push. And while I can go into my list of pushed mailboxes and uncheck the Sent folder, the change does not stick and goes right back to push when I go back into the settings. This was not the case in iOS7. I was just wondering if this was a bug in iOS8 or if this behavior is by design. I already checked with my Exchange admins, and they stated that there is no policy preventing users from setting push and fetch as they please. Thanks!

How can i turn off charging beep?

how can i turn off charging beep?

Use the mute/silent switch on the side of the phone. After that it will vibrate if you connect to charge it using the computer or adapter. You might want to turn the volume on again after that, because that will also mute your ringtone.

Can you turn off apps that you've opened so the battery lasts longer?

With the new upgrade to 7.0.2 can you turn off apps you've opened so the battery lasts longer?

Two things:
In iOS 7 to close apps now you double click the Home button, then slide up on the cards for the apps you'd like to close.
Next, to actually deal with the battery use issue and open apps, you can go to Settings>General>Background App Refresh and turn off the apps you don't care to have working behind the scenes.

I'm from India and after update i can't turn off my 3G or i have the option to turn on/off LTE only. I don't want to be always on 3G because my battery is running out of life.

This is the same as what happened to customers in most of the rest of the world in a past release, and it's because carriers want to stop supporting older transport methods.
There's nothing you can do about it other than complain to your carrier, as they're likely the ones who asked Apple to remove the option.

I can't turn off Accessibility Grayscale

When I pulled my iPhone 5 out of my pocket yesterday evening and tapped the Home button, it came on with everything in black-and-white. Apps open in grayscale and so do album covers, photos and pages in Safari.
I've toggled Accessibility Grayscale on and off for 3 complete cycles and nothing changed.
I upgraded from iOS 8.0.0 to 8.0.2 and nothing changed.
I've toggled Accessibility Grayscale on and off for 3 complete cycles again and nothing changed.
I've powered down and back up and nothing changed.
I've noticed brief flashes of color when I'm on a web page with lots on tiny flag icons as I rotate the screen from vertical to horizontal and vice-versa. Once it gets to the new screen orientation, the color reverts to grayscale.
Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix?

Tried restarting the phone and holding the Home button at the same time several times last month and nothing changed. I was about to give up.
Then Wednesday at work I walked to the restroom, and when I got back to my desk, I saw on my PC I had pocket Tweeted gibberish during the walk. I took the phone out, turned it on and canceled out of a couple other things it had tried to do in my pocket. When the home screen was left, all the icons were back in color. It had very definitely been still in grayscale earlier when I had been reading my Twitter feed at the chiropractor's office before work. It stayed in color the rest of the night. The only thing unusual was the battery was down to 20% and red for no reason when I plugged it in to charge while I was asleep.
But wait, it gets better ...
When I woke up Thursday and checked my notifications, there was a large square white box outline with rounded corners I'd never seen before. It went from side to side, but the height was the same as the width, so it did not fill the vertical screen. At bottom center of the white box was a button the shape of a capsule. Touching it opened a menu of about 5 option, the first 2 of which were Zoom In and Zoom Out, and the bottom option toggled between Show Controller and Hide Controller.
So I swiped to unlock the phone and something very interesting happened when the home screen appeared. The white box outline was still there and the icons outside it were still in color, but all the icons inside the white box were grayscale. When I dragged the box to the bottom of the screen, the icons at the top became color and the icons at the bottom became grayscale.
So I recalled the suggestion to turn off Accessibility Zoom, which it would not let me do earlier, so I tried that again. I held it in the Off position for more than a minute and when I let go, it looked like it finally stayed off, so I restarted the phone. When it came back up, the white box outline was gone, everything was in grayscale, I couldn't turn off Zoom and I'm right back where I started.
This recent episode reminded me that before it got stuck in grayscale, I had for a couple of weeks been having trouble with the phone pocket Zooming for no apparent reason. For several weeks before grayscale started, I would take the phone out of my pocket and at least once a day would have to double tap it with 3 fingers to get it to zoom out before I could even see the place to swipe to unlock it.
So maybe the subject line of this thread should be: I can't turn off Zoom, and that has me stuck in Grayscale.

Can you turn off the annoying pop-up in iTunes

Like whan you touch the black bar at the top of the screen with the time and the battery percentage and all that...the screen will scroll all the way back to the top. I'm wondering if there is a way to turn that off
