Battery life and noise protected R700-184

Dear all

I have purchsed a Toshiba protégé R700-184 a few months back.
It seems that I made a terrible choice.

The machine is so darn loud. More battery life is miserable
From Toshiba Web site stated that the battery (max.) is approximately 9 hours, but it only lasts a few hours at most even when I do the most basic things like the navigation or by using MS Office.
It takes almost 6 hours to change the battery.

Kindly let me know if I need to change the settings of my phone or if there is no other solution for this problem.

I'm really disappointed by Toshiba.

Hello

To me, it seems that you need to optimize the cooling module and battery performance in Windows 7 power management.

Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
This means that battery could unload faster because devices such as GPU, CPU, screen, HARD drive run with better performance

In Windows 7 power management, you can optimize a single module if the laptop is running on battery.

You can reduce the performance of the processor that would slow down the cooling modules and this battery work would extend and make fans for laptop quieter.

  • Satellite A215-S4757 - battery life and the problem of cooling fan

    Hello everyone,

    I would like to ask a few questions abou my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

    I have my laptop since last August and I think that it shouldn't be a dust problem, because it is too 'young' for this and I do not live in an apartment "dusty"...

    In any case, I think that the problem of "almost allways running fan" appeared about 2 months after I bought the laptop. I installed 'Speedfan' and I see 'HD0' temperature increases of 30deg remarks immediately after I have start the laptop, on 39deg after 1 hour.

    But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?

    Is the normal temperature of 45-50deg? I use my laptop for browsing the Internet, emails, etc., no complex 3d games!

    The second thing is that the battery life is (and has been since the beginning) not spectacular: it lasts max. 1.5 hours with wireless use on, but normal laptop (don't play not DVDs or something like that). Is this normal? If so, is it because of the amd processor turion 64 x 2?

    Please help me with some tips / advice.

    P.S. I bought my Toshiba as I was travelling to the US (NY).

    Thank you much in advance.

    > I would like to ask a few questions about my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

    I m an owner of a Satellite A210. It s similar to the A215. The A210 is a European model and the A215 belongs to the series of cell phones in the United States.
    I noticed the same thing on my A210, and I think that's a normal s behavior.

    > But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?
    The 40-60deg CPU temperature is not unusual.
    The temperature could affect up to 70-80degrees by practicing a game. So Don t worry about the temperature.
    Cooling modules are controlled by the BIOS. Fan table is stored in the BIOS and it contains information about the limits of temperature and the use of cooling.
    If a certain level of temperature has been reached the cooling module begins to spin with a certain speed.

    Now, I would like to say a few words on the life of portable batteries
    Generally the duration of battery life depends on the use of portable computers.
    While playing games or watching movies the battery a lot faster.

    In any case, your laptop is equipped with high performance devices and AFAIK Vista was preinstalled on this series. The two factors (high performance CPU and GPU devices) + Vista OS need a lot of battery power. Vista needs of more resources for laptop like Win XP, and so portable computers equipped with Vista operating system run more short on battery such as laptops pre-installed with Win XP.

    Finally and above all he must know that there are different models more strong the battery with high * value of my would help run the notebook longer using the power of the battery.

    Hope I could clarify this issue.

    Good bye

  • BB in blackBerry bold Smartphones 9790 battery life and temperature

    I used Blackberry curve 8520 and not been disappointed until the 9790 bold. Within 5 days, the reduced 1 day-hours battery life.

    It's even worse

    1 when the battery life is less 65% is greater than the demand for phone on battery, it of performance and the heat of the battery up to a scary point and die faster.

    2 less than 65% the phone take charge and no is not controllable and crashed constantly.

    will you please reply as soon as possible because I'm afraid something will happen to me because of the temperature of the phone. I just bought the phone 5 days ago and I can't give it back to the supplier as I bought the UNITED Arab Emirates and now I am in Egypt

    There is obviously something weird going on inside your phone.

    Let's start with a battery pull.  Something in your operating system does not work correctly if a battery pull he must solve.  Remove the battery while your phone is on, then replace it.

    If that does not improve the performance of your phone, it might be a good idea to reload the OS of your phone using BlackBerry Desktop Software.  You don't even have to load a new OS, sometimes just reload the same OS makes the turn.

    Try these suggestions and post back with your results.

  • I bought a new iPhone 6 s more and told me to load for a long time I did let him charge for 25 hours. Is that going to affect my battery life and what happens if I use it immediately?

    I have a new iPhone, and told me to let it load for a long time. I let it charge for 25 hours. This can affect my life of bacteria? And what happens if I don't use the phone immediately?

    Not at all, you can leave it plugged into the power supply, and it won't hurt the battery. However I am not leaving the phone in a State discharged for a long time. That can hurt so when he approaches zero the load soon.

  • Portégé R500-10u: energy-saving - the battery life and screen

    Hello
    I just bought a Portege R500 10u and I fight with the energy saver utility.

    No matter what I do, when I switch to the power of the battery, the phone tells me that the maximum time I have is 2 hours and 45 minutes - even when I do not do anything on the laptop at all.

    Furthermore, the screen saver is constantly on all the time. In the public service of electricity of standby, everywhere wherever I could see, the setting is NEVER. When I on the power controls in Windows (I use Windows XP), the screen saver is programmed to start, but I'm not able to change this setting. I get a message that I need to use the Toshiba power saver utility.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

  • Portege series, different on R100 and M100 battery life?

    Hello everyone,

    I want to buy a new laptop with a high mobile work autonomy. The R100 and M100 are retained, but anyone know if there are differences in the life of the battery. I tested the two NBs to my dealer, but I have no experience of working with them over a long period.

    Goodbye, Tanya-LB

    Hi Tanya,

    I had the honour to test these two laptops in our society. They are all two developed business model for great mobility and battery life. On one side you have the R100 with a Centrino ULV 900 MHz (ULV = Ultra Low Voltage) and a lithium-ion-polymer battery. This combination allows a battery life of 2 hours and with the second extra battery up to 6.4 hours.

    On the other side, you have the M100 with a LV Centrino with 1200 Mhz (LV = low voltage) and lithium-ion battery. If you need that one unloading in use battery is approximately 4.5 hours with an extra battery up to very good 8.5 hours.

    So in my opinion, these books are really well designed and complete specifications of high mobility. The M100 has the highest battery life and performance.

    If you have any questions, ask me.

    We could also see the factsheet on the Toshiba site

    in the menu products.

    I hope this will help you.

  • NB305 - what settings should I use to get 11 hours of battery life?

    Hello

    looking for help with my new NB305-10F. I just bought the netbook and drained the battery before recharging. I disabled the netbook for recharging. This morning when I turned on the computer it says 8 hours - it was me running with option power saver - with the brightness of the screen to a minimum.

    So, my question is, what should I do for gt 11 hours of battery life as told when I bought the netbook? I hope that someone will be able to answer my question!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi willbar,.

    I think you should charege/charging the battery up to 5 - 10 times to get the maximum battery life and only 1 or 2 times it charges s not enough.

    Also the battery life expectancy is depending on the applications that you are running. 11 hours, you won't get that if you don't do anything on the netbook, until it turn off by itself, but if you navigate in Internet, write emails and watch videos, 8 hours is really good and you can be satisfied with this :)

  • What is the battery life of a Satellite L30-113?

    Hello
    I think to buy this laptop for £299.99 from Play.com
    However there is no mention of the battery life, and I really need to know what it is if I buy this laptop.

    I'll use for net surfing, msn and DVD :-)
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I know the machine, but main autonomy depends on the battery capacity. As I know come in two sizes: 2000 mAh and 4000 mAh.

    If you use it just for surfing and etc, you will have a battery life of 2 hours with the 4000 mAh.
    But be careful: If you have several applications that run in the background or opened, your battery life might be shorter. (more charges system means shorter battery life)

    And finally and especially your battery life also depends on your powersaver settings, so you will need to find the configuration that fits for you (performance and battery life)

    Hope I could help you

  • Satellite A100 - battery life is increased from 100 min to 20 min after 1.5 years

    After 1.5 years, the battery life dropped about 100 minutes within 30 minutes.

    I thought that the battery was bad, but after that Windows automatically stopped because he thought that the battery was empty. I plugged the power cord for 10 seconds approximately, started the computer laptop, unplugged immediately and let it run in the BIOS screen. It has been running for more than 45 minutes, so that the laptop is off. Then

    I guess the battery was still high capacity, but somehow calibration data has become invalid.

    Is it possible to calibrate the battery? I have not found such a feature in the BIOS, where all my other phones have such a feature (even if I never need for others!)

    Concerning
    Thomas

    Hello

    I think you're a little confused about the duration of battery life and performance of the battery.
    But you should t be confused because it is nothing unusual.

    After about 500 times charge/discharge, the battery will begin to lose clean performance.
    This means that after a longer time of use, the battery performance will decrease and a day you need to replace.

    My 7 year old laptop doesn t work on battery power. The power of the battery takes about 2 min same it s fully charged. I know that I should replace, but I use this laptop as desktop Pc. It s always plugged in.

    If don t wonder about the performance of your battery. It s normal behavior.

  • The battery life with ICS is worse!

    Since the ICS update my battery life is 2 x worse than before on gingerbread. Here, I noticed that I'm not the only one with this problem. Is there and options I can do to improve the life of the battery? I noticed there is no way to switch back between 3G and 4G and basic data cannot be disabled now. I also noticed that they got rid of the task manager that really worked and force them to leave applications. I had to force quit never manually app since the update. Each app was running in the background. I've had this phone for extended battery life and if I use not the phone throughout the day and late at night I have 20% remaining battery, something is wrong. ICS has a lot of features, but if I had the chance to uninstall ICS I would.


  • Problems of Smartphones BB 9800 Torch for blackBerry battery life - 7 h max

    Hello world

    I got the new torch for less than a week now. He began to have problems of major battery two days ago. I can get about 7: 00 course emails collection now (with about a phonecall) until the battery is completely dead. I have the phone set for 2G only with GPS off.

    I called the carrier and they say they'll send a new phone only (no battery) as soon as possible because they think that the problem is the phone. Apparently the BB now sees the phone and battery as two separate components, and rather than ship a new group by phone and battery, they ship only one...

    Someone at - it elsewhere in the United Kingdom / United States have had problems with the battery? Is this a known fault? I thought that the autonomy of the torch was supposed to be amazing...

    I use the phone for business and if it's something like the storm (I returned and exchanged against of the 9000 "BOLD"), he must go back and be replaced by something reliable like the 9000 "BOLD".

    Thank you very much

    Here is my experience of Torch 9800 battery life and the "fix."  Again, out of the box, battery life was fine, I started to add applications and in the coming days the life drained dough at a rate of about 5% every 15 minutes. I've always done so that all applications have been stopped (with the exception of those who must run as electronic mail, etc.), but found no difference. I uninstalled applications, with the exception of a called automatic locking that allows swipe to unlock the screen.  Yet, with no luck, I did a complete reset to factory settings and found my problem solved. I reinstalled since all applications except AutoLock, I have the wifi and Bluetooth on and always excellent autonomy - no complaints whatsoever!  I installed a screen similar locking program called SwipeLock and still no problems.  I have my screen set at 10% and autodim.  Therefore, if AutoLock is the culprit, or there was something else, the origin of the problem, that I don't know, but I hope that if you follow the same path that I describe above, who is she to back out of the default zone, it should solve the problem - at least that has been my experience.

  • The battery life on a stack of old vs new

    Hi I just bought the HP Pavilion g4 (1100au) and run the battery check utility.

    I noticed that the battery is already 6 months old. How is this affecting the life and capacity of the battery? And the warranty will cover the fact that the battery is already "old" purchase? (For example if it is less than expected performance for a 1 years exactly one year after the purchase, the warranty replaces the battery?)

    Although there is no mention on the website of HP, some online stores, sales of HP Pavilion claim a battery life of just over 4 hours (not using the dvd player or playing graphic intensive games). Is this correct? What should I expect in a year, 2 years and 3 years?

    Thank you very much

    Any site on the battery life and usage will tell you that it depends on the number of charge cycles and the level of support that keep you the battery in.

    If you keep a battery to 100% it will dramatically decrease the life.  That's why a new battery will be delivered with a load of say 50% or 40%.

    Get 1000 cycles or even 500 cycles a Li-ion battery is overly optimistic at best.  Old batteries would degrade over time so that the AMM would go to 0. They would be too hot for the charge cycles and have minor shorts that would be ignored by the jury of the battery.  A short circuit in a battery is a major problem.

    Today, the batteries are chips in them, a diode to control temp, a lot of security.  If the smart chip detects the slightest defect in a battery, it will just stop it.  That's why you see seemingly good batteries just suddenly stop working.  Once the Mah side gets down to 50%, a battery could just stop at any time.

    Spare batteries are not these safety devices integrated into them.  Most of them don't even have a diode temp. They show only a static temp all the time.  Then, they could short-circuit and ignite a fire, they could overheat and get out your laptop system load or worse.  I've seen worse, it isn't pretty.

    I do not do anything to increase the life expectancy of my batteries, I just keep 100% of the fees and use them.  I'm lucky if I get two years for use on a battery.  I usually get a year and a half out of them. After that about 100 charge cycles, they start to degrade the mAh rating.  If they go to 50% without stopping, I just replace them.

    Batteries are not yet considered to be a component, they are considered a disposable commodity.
