Zen 4gb battery draining fast even when the unit is off

Hi,
I have the zen 4gb. I also have the newest firmware loaded onto it. The battery goes down fast even when off. I also notice that if I go and turn it back on after 24 hours it appears to be still in standby mode. Any ideas? Thank you.

I remember the Zen Micro power issue (bought one for my son). That one was where the player stayed in "standby" when you powered off for many hours. This enabled a much quicker start up, but also resulted in some battery drain while "off". They changed this from 24 hours standby to 4 hours, I think. My Zen Touch did the same thing, but had a big battery so the drain was not so bad. It started almost instantly from standby, vs. maybe 20 seconds from true "off". The Zen (I have a Zen 4GB) seems to have a similar feature. I am not sure how long it stays in standby mode before shutting down completely.

    Short answer is you probably cannot.  Once water gets inside the device and it is powered on, the damage likely is permanant. 

  • My battery is getting drained even when the system is off

    Hi
    It seems my battery is getting drained even after shutting the machine down. While shutting down the laptop it would show battery as 100% charged and after swhen I start it after day or so it would be 93-94%. I am noticing this fromquite a some time.
    Could anybody suggest, what could be the possible reason for this.
    My macbook is late 2011, 13 inches.
    Thanks

    Do you mean your iPhone was exposed to high temperature and now the battey life is very short?  If so, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check the battery and see if it needs to be replaced.  Lithium-Ion batteries are very sensitive to high temperature so there may be damage to your battery if it got very hot.

  • Playlist shuffle is working even when the button is off...Im using Ipod shuffle 4th gen*

    Im using Ipod shuffle 4th gen...And I am not able to stop the songs getting shuffled....For example I want my ipod the play the songs one by one...but its not working...Its shuffling songs by default...I mean the button which stops shuffling the songs(the on off button when placed in the iddle stops shuffling songs) is NOT working....What to do?

    If you are trying to play a playlist in the order shown for that playlist (in iTunes), you need to be IN the playlist on the shuffle.  You may be in the main "all songs" list on the shuffle, and not a particular playlist.  Note: You can have multiple playlists on 4th (and 3rd) gen shuffle, which is why there is a separate "all songs" list.
    This article explains how to use VoiceOver, including how to change between playlists.

    It's pretty easy to do accidentally if you swipe up the Control Center without meaning to. I also turn of my BT by accident this way every now and then.

  • I have updated ipad3 to ios7 and now battery drains very fast even when not in use

    Why is my battery draining so fast even when I'm not using it . last night I put it down with 45% and woke up to dead battery. I upgraded to ios7 last week. I have ipad 3.thanks

    Hi!
    I have an iPad 3,3 GSM. I didn't update it since iOS 5.1.1. iPad works almost a week for me. And updated it to 7.1 at last Friday.
    After update my battery drains notable fast. ~10-12% overnight(~8h) in standby mode. I've tried to turn off parallax, all location services and background apps. But nothing's changed.
    So I''ve found that in usage section I ve almost the same values of usage and standby time. And I realized that one thing that drains my battery is "Find my ipad" service!!! I turned off it and my ipad works as with iOS 5.1.1:
    2% overnight max!! And now it's drained only 14% after 4h20m of usage with parallax turned on! (yes i've only surfed web and read a book but nevertheless)
    So it's your choice what to prefer - be sure that your ipad either protected from stealing or long battery life!

    You can leave the charger plugged in, as you cannot overcharge...charging automatically stops when your battery is full. Once every 2 ~ 3 months, its a good idea to drain the battery to about ~ 40%, then recharge to full. Otherwise, you can charge whenever you like & leave connected whenever you like.
    Try to avoid full battery discharges, Lithium batteries don't like that & frequent full discharge/recharge cycles will eventually kill your battery.

  • It has been only about a month that i bought my macbook pro 15 but it is heating up really fast on the left side even when the cpu usage is only 10%...i'm worried if this is a problem of the hardware.

    The way something "feels" is very subjective.  We would need to know your actual temps.  You can install the free iStat Pro widget which is available as a download directly from Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    Let us know what CPU temps you're seeing at the time you feel your machine is hot.  As you indicated your CPU usage was only 10%, that would imply that you already know that heavy CPU usage would be one cause for your machine to be running on the warm side... but that doesn't seem to be the cause here.

    I had similar issue with one of the macbooks in the office. Make sure you've got latest firmware installed (run Software Update). This resolved the issue for us instantly (you may need to reboot mac AFTER firmware upgrade for this to work).

  • Re: Battery Drains Faster in iOS 5 ?

    Hello,
    I have marked that Battery drain faster if using apps in iOS 5 then the previous version, but the idle time is better in iOS 5.
    In my case after fully charged, my phone show 100%  if its in idle mode for 7 hours, but as soon as i start some apps the battery drains faster, like if i use the apps for 15 min the battery remains at 80%.
    Have anybody experience this ?

    @dimoff: I didn't experience the same thing with other mobiles, even of Nokia. I have Lumia 525, Moto G(Dual Sim). My wifi is always on and i use the phone without any problem for 1.5 days.
    But where as Lumia 630, without any phone calls, only idel phone it could stand only for 1 day.
    On the contrary what i have experienced is when i use 3G, battery is consulmed more tha wifi.

  • 5130 battery drains fast!!HELP...

    my new 5130 xpress music's battery darins fast after 2-3hrs of music playback.Other thing I have noticed is when my battery has been reduced it drains fast even though I am just texting..!
    kindly help me..
    i followed as insturcted that drain it first before charging it for the first time...

    hi krizanand,
    I'm curious about whether you have a Nokia 5130 Xpress Music Phone? But I guess you're not...
    I don't want to make it personal but we are wronged here and that's why it may seem offensive to you.
    But I'm not making that problem up. You can search for it. If you know Turkish, there is a site that people talk about 5130 and also that problem: http://forum.donanimhaber.com/m_27593466/mpage_10/key_/tm.htm 
    First (before I have bought that phone) I thought just like you. I thought that very low time spans must be a result of heavy use of the phone.. But when I bought the phone I have realized it, it is not.
    I give you today's statistics and you can judge from that numbers; TODAY;
    Music Play: for most half an hour (appr. 20 min.)
    Calls: 13 minutes in total
    GPRS: NEVER
    It's not a faulty battery, most of the users have that problem as far as I read...
    And I bought it brand new in a closed box, not a second hand...
    And now battery meter shows appr. 1/3
    At these moments, the phone has been on for 22 hours appr.
    It means that the battery will die out in the middle of the day, tomorrow.
    Am I right?
    I think it is a huge flaw for a NOKIA phone... 
    And I will continue to defend that claim...

  • Iphone 6 battery draining fast

    Jus bought my phone and my phone battery become hot even I only use it for 5 min and the battery draining fast is it my phone battery have a problem?

    Hi Mqchew,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone. If you have a new iPhone 6 that you are concerned may be having heat or battery issues, you may first want to try restoring it to factory condition (if you have loaded any apps or data onto it) and testing it in that default state to see if the issue persists:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If the issue persists after the factory restore, you may want to take it in to be evaluated and/or serviced. You may find the following page helpful:

  • IPhone 5s battery drain fast with iOS 8.1.2

    I have iPhone 5s from 1 year. After updating to 8.1.2 battery draining fast. I needs charge the battery 3-4 times a day. I did the restore as new, but no change. Stopping the apps does not help. Please for advice.

    I have also experienced this, but I think I have started to narrow things down. First of all, I am on an iPhone 5S 32gb, and I did NOT have any of these battery issues under 8.1.1, but since upgrading, the battery drains more quickly for sure.
    What I have noticed, however, is that there are some strange correlations going on with what appears to be ridiculously severe battery drain - my phone will show 50% battery, and minutes later (of normal use, taking photos, screen at about 50% brightness, no overt internet or GPS activity) it will suddenly shut down completely. This seems to happen most WHEN IT IS COLD and I am using it outside.
    When I try to turn it back on right after, I get the "plug me in" screen, as one would expect with a dead phone. However, if I wait a few minutes and let the phone warm up a bit, I hold down the power switch and on it comes, and when it comes on, the battery indicator will show 50% battery life again. I think of this as my FALSE BATTERY DRAIN problem, possibly unrelated to the actual battery life. I have only noticed this happening while running the Camera or Safari apps. Looking at my usage doesn't seem to turn up any surprises.
    So Apple... what the heck is going on here? Is this an OS problem, is it an issue with your apps, with app conflicts... what is going on?
    This is unacceptable. You know after being an Apple user for 35 years now I am not going to switch to Android lightly, but this is pushing me that way, and it is certainly going to keep me from updating to a newer, shinier phone until you show some commitment to supporting your users, who seem to be experiencing battery issues rather frequently these days.
    Please at least show some INTEREST in being involved in this solution... I'm not seeing any indications of effort to fix this.
    Thank you.
