One month battery life MS Wireless 4000 mouse Mobile
I bought this mouse a few months ago and use it daily. I am very happy with the performance, but not with the battery life.
I have to replace the battery every month, almost to the day.
The mouse is mainly used with my desktop system, also in my web development work and general use. I believe my use active 8 hours a day, but my systems are constantly lit.
I used the new brand name alkaline batteries (Energizer, Duracell) and the last 2 months, the batteries to the Energizer Lithium, with no difference.
It is impossible for me to turn the mouse over and out all day.
Packaging claims up to 10 months of battery life - of course, I'm not anywhere near that.
I have the latest intellipoint drivers and otherwise my Win 7/64 system is up to date.
You have any ideas why I have this problem, and what I might be able to do about it?
Thanks in advance: as I said, I love the mouse, but the cost of battery alive to eat me!
Have you tried to contact MS support it exchanged or replaced? How about the place you bought it? I had a few wireless mouse and all their batteries have lasted more than a month, but only lasted as long as 10 months. I have a MS Natural Wireless Laser 6000 last 6 months, almost to the day. But my Logitech V470 Bluetooth Notebook Mouse batteries last about 4 months and it stopped immediately.
I think you have a faulty mouse, but I don't know that your merchant nor Microsoft would take my word for it :-)

1-2 day battery life Keyboard wireless!
Since the update to OS X 10.11.4, the battery on the wireless (former model, not the new Magic Keyboard) keyboard has slumped about 3 to 4 weeks for 1-2 days! I use rechargeable batteries from Apple, and the same set of batteries has not affected the Magic Trackpad (also a former model).
And FYI, I use the keyboard for about 8 to 12 hours.
Try the non-rechargeable batteries...
Battery life is based on its use. I don't know what it is that the software update would have done to cause the problem.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

HP wireless optical mouse Mobile
I have a HP Wireless Optical Mobile Mouse I would use with a laptop Sony 2007 which originally ran Vista and now runs Windows 8.1. I am able to install the driver, but the mouse does not work. Flashing red light on the bottom of the mouse indicates that the battery is good. There is no visible pointer on the screen.
I took the laptop and mouse in Geek Squad at Best Buy. The technician has tested my computer and said that the problem is with the mouse. The mouse was made in January 2011. The printed Quick Start Guide says it's Version 1.1. I don't see any other model number. This mouse is compatible with Windows 8.1?
Personally, I think there is a hardware problem with the mouse and it does not work on any other system. Please check first before you invest time in finding the drivers for your mouse.

Anatel Sony wireless mouse connects erratically with cursor. The battery life is very good. The cursor problem also seems to be making the top and down arrows on my wired keyboard. When the cursor is engaged the arrows will work. When the cursor does not connect correctly the arrows do not work. The surace the mouse is on doesn't seem to be a factor.

I have a 3500 mobile wireless mouse and the battery life is only about 3-4 weeks and I am using batteries alkaline energizer. The package of advertising up to 9 months. I use the computer about 8 hours per day and I closed the mouse off when I'm not using it. What is happening with this battery life? Don't I have a defective mouse?
No, this is the maximum lifetime of the battery. 2500mAh rechargeable long-life batteries should give you this figure 9 months, or near him.

5s short battery life iPhone, phone like new 6 months.
I bought my iPhone about 6 months ago. I have problems with the battery life. I plug all night. Unplug in the morning and about 4 hours he spends 100% to 40%, even without me using the telephone. I thought to buy a new battery from Amazon and change myself. I found videos on YouTube showing how do, and it seems very easy to do. Someone out there chaned their own battery before? Was it easy to do? And your phone has worked for you once you have changed your battery yourself?
Just thought I ask. I am one of these people if it's something I can do for my part, I do. Does anyone has an entry on the situation before I try this on my own?
Hello
The battery on the iPhone is not replaceable by the user. The battery - if that is the real problem - is covered by the limited warranty of one year of Apple. If the iPhone is out of warranty, Apple also offers a service of the battery. The cost for this varies across countries (currently $79 in the United States, for example).
However, as a first step, I suggest that you try to solve the problem of life battery. You can, for example, to consider measures such as:
- Review Apple tips to maximize battery performance:
- Backup, restore your iPhone to factory settings then set up as new or restore:
- Update the software to the latest version:
If the problem persists, I suggest you contact Apple technical support or make a Genius Bar reservation for assistance in identifying / confirming the issue and, if necessary, to set up your service from the available battery options, time and cost.

My iPod shuffle (one of the recent 4th gen ones) battery life is really short suddenly
So I got my iPod Shuffle since mid August 2015 and, for some reason, the battery life actually only spent about 1 hour. It's never the same beforehand in January, but it seemed a bit more faster than the usual battery run (probably 5 hours or more) and in February, it dropped to about 2 hours. He went away for a while, when I used it less but recently after I have charged it and began to do something random (probably stimulation of things) it lasts barely an hour. What can I do to fix this?
I have also completely load btw.
