• Battery meter strange behavior

  The following occurred 3 times or so now. A moment I see the battery as having charge of ~ 25%-35% on the left, and a few minutes later, the gauge indicates the battery is at a critical level of 6% to the left charge.

  What happens here? I'm guessing it is a necessary indicator reset? However, if that were the case, why not was not I notified by the system? There is a section in the power manager > battery > battery care which deals specifically with the drums of caliber and an option that says "notify my when reset is recommended.

  I'm running win7 x 64 on a T510 (9-cell) with the latest version of the power manager.

  the notification system is not 100% foolproof, it sometimes don't work as it should.

  If you can, try a reset.

• Strange behavior of TM2 recharge battery - only charges when almost dead

  Hi people,

  I have a new 2200 TM2T who exhibits some strange behavior of battery charge.  When plugged in, the battery will say "connected, charge", but the battery does not charge at all, no matter how much time he has left in (reported remaining level remains the same).  However, if I leave the battery discharged completely, it will start loading again, all the way up to 100%.

  It's a kind of weird automatic battery calibration or something?  I am hoping there is a way to solve this problem, because it's really annoying to not be able to keep busy all the time.

  Hi people,

  I just wanted to report on the resolution of my battery problem.  Returned the laptop to HP, and technical support has replaced the motherboard.  Works fine now.

• Firefox crashes (and other strange behaviors) due to gifs

  From a recent update Firefox displayed a strange behavior that surrounds the gifs. Sometimes, after viewing pages with a large number of gifs or several very large gifs, Firefox will do things like not animate gifs, or even do not load the images at all, an and will not stop until I have restart Firefox. What's more concerning is that sometimes in these situations, Firefox will simply hang and stop responding, forcing me to kill the process.
  This page shows the behavior of hanging fairly regularly: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1021843 & page = 21
  It seems more likely to happen when I scroll the page quickly. The behavior persists when I restart Firefox mode without failure.

• Satellite P300-172 battery problems

  Hello.

  Hope you all had a good Christmas and can hopefully help out me.

  I bought a laptop P300-172 awhile back.
  Now, even after the sinking of a large number of power settings, the battery life was poor.

  So I ordered a replacement from ebay (part 3rd battery) the battery is identical to the Toshiba battery in everyway of course the only difference is there was not an a toshiba.

  in any case, when the battery arrived I plugged it and the battery LED came on to show that he was charging, when I booted up my laptop (with vista) windows showed that there was no battery connected, I thought strange. But I did back and let it load, after an hour or two charging orange led started flashing which it never did.

  Still, I booted up vista and windows showed there is no battery connected. I have contcated the seller and assumes that the battery was faulty, as chance would have, he repaid the article and I went back to the normal toshiba battery.

  I had another battery, ordered through work and that is identical in every way, once again, except that it was another 3rd party battery and which does exactly the same thing.

  Can anyone help?

  I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS (3.9) and have tried many steps as leaving the laptop without the battery for 30 minutes and then insert the battery. update the bios.

  Well that's about all I can think and have read through the forums.

  I appreciate may give any information you guys! Sorry for the long message.

  If I were you I wouldn't assume more battery problems and return the phone to the place of purchase, if you can.

  The problem is out of your control, as you have tried multiple batteries. Just give him place of purchase to watch. Then less grief for you.

  Good luck.

• Satellite Pro A120 battery problem

  Hi all

  I have a portable Satellite Pro A120 and is a battery problem a month ago.
  The battery is not new, but recently changed, 6 months ago.
  Until a few weeks ago, it lasted about 2 hours when full load, until this time
  suddenly dropped 30-40 minutes.
  In addition, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's a few extra vibrations,
  for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
  In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

  I initially though that there was a problem with the battery or the battery contacts, but they seem ok.
  I tried to unload it in my laboratory of the company with a power resistance: resistance absorbed 1A continuously for more than 3 hours. As the specification 4400mAh battery, I would say that the battery is ok.

  Is it possible that I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
  The battery stress test above seems to show that the charging process is ok. So the problem might be with
  the provision of monitor or battery power.
  Someone at - it experience of similar problems and maybe a solution.
  Or perhaps a work around? As excluding the battery monitoring and auto turn off

  Thanks in advance
  Concerning

  > Is it possible I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
  Perhaps, but that's just a guess only a cellphone technician may provide an exactly the answer to this question.

  > Furthermore, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's some additional vibration.
  for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
  In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

  It is very strange, I want to say if the contacts of the battery and the battery would be ok, this symptom shouldn't its sounds strange for me, so maybe that's the key why battery don't not lasts more than 30-40 min

  However, I think you should try a new battery before checking the motherboard.

• Strange behavior file open/create/replace

  Hi all

  I will make my question as broad as possible because I think someone must have met this behavior before. I use the function open/create/replace file to programmatically open a file, giving a path entry created in an earlier vi. Strange behavior, I see, is that although Labview returns 1 error when I give my file programmatically, it reads the file OK if I give as a constant. The constant path that I give is exactly the same as one I am tryinng to programmatically.

  Any suggestions? Is it to do with a string formatting problem? I enclose my portion of treated VI the path_in section.

  Thanks for your time,

  Kind regards

  Harry

  Wild guess: you must use 'build path' instead of 'concatenate strings' build path.

  (Also use a constant of diagram of the path (not a string!) to "c:\ni-rt\" and get rid of the "trim whitespace' and the 'chain of path")

  See if that makes a difference. (build path is OS independent, while the operations of independent channels are not).

  Never use the paths as strings. There are very few cases where this would be appropriate.

• EliteBoook HP 8530w battery problems

  I am running Windows 7 Professional on my Elitebook and having battery problems.

  What happens when the computer is plugged into the wall it will load and allow for laptop turn on or stay even if the battery is removed.

  If it's just the battery and not cap it not turn on or cut the power, if it's on.

  The battery is relatively new, I just replaced 2 months ago.

  Recently, I did a clean install of Windows 7 in 3 weeks when this problem started to occur. I had the battery works for a week or so, by removing the drivers for the battery. However, I have reinstalled the drivers yesterday for the media card and all of a sudden the battery does not work yet. I tried to do a system restore to before installing the drivers card media and it does not work. I tried to remove the drivers for the battery again like last time and that did not work.

  I installed HP Battery Check and it says that my battery is ok.

  If anyone can give me a help any with this problem I would be very happy! Thank you

  If you would like more information on the computer, please do not hesitate to ask I'll try to provide it.

  You are so very welcome Jobbernowle!

  The battery has a part number or product number on there?

  To be honest, since the battery worked when you installed it in another laptop that implies, for me, it works.  As a general rule, this means that the connection of the battery to the laptop was having problems.  However, normally in this case the battery is not recognized at all.

  So, I would like to confirm that the battery is recognized when you have the laptop on the sector.  You mentioned in your original post that the battery check said, it was beautiful, but I would like just to confirm once again.

  Have you tried updating your BIOS to the latest version?  It is a good step to take in material related to issues like this that sometimes the BIOS can have strange problems.  In my opinion, This is the latest version of the BIOS.

  Let me know the result.  I'll be waiting for your response.

• Issues coming out of "sleep mode" and strange behavior when restarting with GPU

  I use a desktop computer HP P7-1240 completely stock except for a GPU EVGA GeForce GTX 750 TI SC. The GPU works well when the computer is running (which is strange because the forums have several other discussions mentioning the 700 series must be incompatible with my BIOS).

  However, there are two main strange problems that have arisen since the installation of the GPU. One is that, every time that the computer enters mode "sleep", he refuses to wake back up correctly. It seems to me that the computer active but sends all the signals back panel (at the very least, no video because my monitors remain blank). On rare occasions, he wakes back correctly, but at least 90% of the time, it must be restarted. Upon reboot, the same problem sometimes (not), and the computer must be rebooted a second time until it will start again.

  This leads to the second problem. During startup, the computer goes to a black screen, listing the specifications of basic computer skills (see attached photo. In this screen, the computer does not meet any entry.  He proceeds to beep 3 times, all the same length and height spaced about 30 seconds of gap. After the third beep, the screen goes black and then the computer starts normally with no other strange behavior.

  Without the GPU, none of these problems occur. At the very least, not regularly.

  I saw another thread mentioned that, while the HP support for my office page lists not her, there is an update of the BIOS for my motherboard which has fixed issues related to the GPU more modern. By nature it is an update of the BIOS that does not (seem to) officially support Windows 7, I am reluctant to go forward with this potential solution.

  Although I intend to build myself a new computer from scratch at a certain point, I was hoping to get at least another year out of this machine, if not 2.  While this question does not seem to be immediately threatening the stability of the computer, I can't help but think that it is a question should I go quickly to avoid future problems (not to mention it would save me a good amount of electricity to be able to enter the mode 'sleep' on a regular basis).

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  

  Problem has been solved!

  For those of you who have trouble sleeping with the p7-1240 or computers with a card mother identical (MSI Jasmine Ms 7778 ver 1.0), I suggest that you follow this thread:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-hardware/unable-to-boot-with-new-graphics-card/TD-p/3930544/highlight/true

  It is to use an update for your BIOS that is intended only for PC under Windows 8, but that seems to work perfectly well with Windows 7 PC. It solved my problems of sleep and makes the computer to behave at least semi normally while restarting.

  However, as indicated in the wire, an update of the BIOS should be a last resort because it can turn your machine into a very heavy and expensive paperweight if something does not work. Do not forget that you have the worm 1.0 card mother MSI Ms 7778 Jasmine and remember that you update the BIOS version 8.18.

  As I am looking for 2aeo on HP.com currently (according to the thread leading up to), I'm not find the same links I found last week when I went through the update. However, you can find elsewhere.

• Strange behavior of audio subsystem after update Dev Alpha 10 to 10.0.9.388

  Hello world!

  Has anyone noticed a strange behavior of the behavior of 10.0.9.388 audio subsystem firmware. Recently, after firmware update Dev Alpha 10 to 10.0.9.388 subsystem audio misbehavies in the following way:

  (1) if the external headphones/speakers connected to the audio line-out looks to be preprocessed by low-pass filter and surround effect. The device reported by AudioManager is/dev/snd/pcmPrefferedp. Would it be a bug in formware and re-routing audio internal speaker to the line-out socket did not exclude specific pre-treatment?

  (2) on the previous firmwares if audio goes out of the internal speaker and then the helmet is connected to Jack line out change of itinerary was seemlesly happening and he kept playing with headphones without additional measures in the application. Now, peripheral audio is not consume audio samples and so crashes until it is closed and reopened.

  On the previous firmwares were not all the problems of this kind. Would be - what a few unlucky flashing firmware try (if it is still possible) or bug of 10.0.9.388.

  It will be good to hear comments & thoughts about these questions.

• Strange behavior with postGlobalEvent and eventOccurred()...

  Hello world

  I have a browser plugin for my application that will do two things:

  Firstly, when the BlackBerry browser is forwarded to a Web page with a particular MIME type, the browser plugin will say my application to go to the foreground. It works without any problem.

  Secondly, the browser plugin will display a global event at my request. My request, making use of eventOccurred(), will look for this event and the EC type-approval, it will execute an authorize() method that I have. This also works. However, I notice some strange behavior:

  The first time my application launches the BlackBerry browser and goes to the page specified (with a custom MIME type), everything works fine. If I had while my application to launch the browser and do it AGAIN, my authorize() method is running TWICE. If I open the browser of my application for the third time, so my authorize() method is started THREE times. See the model?

  .. .This is all this without leaving my application. If I had to leave and then start my application again, the 'sequence' prior would begin again. Thus, it seems that whenever x times that I repeat this process, the eventOccurred() method will receive x events.

  Here are a few snippets:

  public class Events {
      final public static int EVENT_AUTHORIZE = 1;
      final public static int EVENT_OTHER = 2;
  }
  

  manager.postGlobalEvent(pid, 0xCAFEBABE, 1, 0, null, null);
  

  public void eventOccurred(long guid, int event_type, int arg2, Object arg3,
              Object arg4) {
          if (guid == 0xCAFEBABE) {
              switch (event_type) {
              case Events.EVENT_AUTHORIZE:
                  authorize();
                  System.out.println("EVENT EXECUTION");
                  break;
              case Events.EVENT_OTHER:
                  break;
              }
          }
  
      }
  

  Can we see what is happening here? I've been "racking my brain" on this one for a while now...

  Thank you!

  "Thus, this can work any time the class is instantiated." The class is instantiated just before I open my browser".

  Application.getApplication().addGlobalEventListener(this);
  

  If you call the above (by instantiating your class) every time that you open the browser, applications to register this event listener again and again.

  If you're going to do it this way, make sure removeGlobalListener you when your application is done processing.

  "Can I make addGlobalListener when my application starts even if this class does not implement GlobalEventListener?"

  You can always have your UiApplication implement GlobalEventListener or just instantiate a new object that implements it in the constructor of your UiApplication.

• BlackBerry Smartphones can depend on phone... cannot turn off phone. Is this a battery problem?

  Hi, I was happily using my Blackberry 8310 for the last year and 5 months without problem. In a week or two after I installed the new version of the OS 4.5 there I began to encounter a problem with my phone. He started just shutting down on its own and I was not able to turn it back on without removing the battery. At first, I thought it was the battery... It shows a full battery on the screen but sometimes if I use the web browser the battery life drops lby 25%. I took the battery out and placed in a friend's phone, and his phone has taken forever to initialize. After about 5 minutes his phone in less than a minute his phone is off too. The strange thing is that my battery always shows that it is fully charged. He never done until the Red level until the phone turns off. I also can not turn off the phone once I do started again. So, I went to AT & T, and immediately they told me that I had to buy a new phone... what happened to offer technical support? Anyway, I'm not able to buy a new phone after shelling out $ 250 for this phone and although I wanted to get insurance at the moment where I bought the phone that told me that Blackberry offered insurance more. It's funny enough now, they are. If it's a battery problem I can buy a new battery if anyone has experienced this kind of problem?

  I guess, at first thought, that the battery meter in the BlackBerry is off sync to the battery.

  Here's some good advice from loading, please read and you will see that many of them will be applicable to you.
  http://www.blackberrynews.com/2008/05/20/battery-use-tips-for-your-maximum-battery-life/

  See section on charge it fully and to exhaust the battery 3 x now.

  If that does not erase a part, I suggest a new battery. The batteries can go wrong with the wire of time, although 5 to 6 months should not be a problem.
