• Some photos load, some are not in facebook, gets worse over time.

  About three weeks ago I started having problems with pictures in Facebook, for the most part, but sometimes on eBay too.  Facebook is particularly bad and it gets worse every day.  It used to be that one or two show and many would show, but now I'm losing more and more images and photos.  Impossible to contact Facebook directly... does anyone have any idea what I can do or check.  I'm not all tech savvy...

  Appreciate your response, but I finally took my computer to my technicians the.  Windows 7 apparently has something in his recent upgrade that was causing this problem.  My Tech actually only set another computer with the same problem I had, by going to Windows 7 and fix something.  So my computer is now working very well and showing the pictures.  Thank 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 :)

• Experiences over seven years with the battery life in laptop computers Tecra

  Seven years ago, I bought a Tecra 780DVD, five years ago a Tecra 8100 and two years ago a Tecra S1. They re all still in regular use and I ve used now six packs of lithium ion batteries. My experience suggests that these four guidelines are worth observing:

  1. it is preferable to the hibernation and remove the battery if the laptop will be inactive for more than 2 or 3 days.
  2 operating time vary a lot between the samples of battery even with the same operating conditions.
  3 leave the charger plugged in with the full light on doesn't seem to hurt (despite some of the recommendations).
  4. better is not the first time, that it is unable to charge the battery of junk. The trick described below may reset the battery and get more useful life out of it.

  Tecras see the end of battery life by battery light flashes orange or stay off when you try to reload. Last week when I returned from vacation what happened the 780 (now the WiFi print server) and I felt like déjà vu because all 4 batteries (three on the 780) and the other on the 8100 that I ve had previously fail expired the same way they failed to charge after 7 to 14 days of hibernation with the battery left in. In my view, that it can hardly be a coincidence.

  I still had another 780 old farm and an old battery for 8100 that both failed about two years ago I did some tests. The batteries two 780 showed 10-11 volts on a voltmeter, but when I put them in the laptop and plugged in the charger, the led load always flashed. However, when I plugged the laptop battery already started the grid only, the hanging lamp orange and after an hour or two went green.

  I think this shock treatment can have done in battery electronics forget they were supposed to be dead. Anyway, I did with all three batteries and then ran to see how long d last. The results were:

  (1) the 780 battery failed last week (after 36 months used) can now run the laptop for an hour.
  (2) the 8100 battery (with the active service of 16 months, but 'believed dead' for two years) will now run for 10 minutes or more.
  (3) the 780 battery believed dead for two years (after 19 months used) appears to load but t does not work the laptop. Half of the battery ended up hot and half cold, so now I guess that it s really dead.

  Hoping others will compare notes, I've summarized below how long my battery packs lasted before they refused to pay more.

  Tecra780DVD:
  Original battery: 30 months (discarded too soon. Might have gotten more if I had tried to trick reset).
  First replacement: 19 months (stored for two years, after which reset didn't work).
  Second alternative: 36 months (after reset now works for an hour).

  Tecra 8100:
  Original battery: 16 months (stored for 2 years. After reset now lasts 10 minutes).
  First replacement: 41 months and always well run.

  Tecra S1:
  Original battery: 29 months and always well run.

  All are genuine Toshiba and operating conditions are quite similar for all. Laptops tend to run 4-8 hours per day with the charger plugged and maybe half an hour on battery only. Sometimes we forget and the charger remains connected all night.

  I m now wish I d tried the trick of reset on all batteries as soon as they failed, but at least I seem to have rescued two batteries. Even a moment of execution as short as 10 min is useful on a laptop that s especially power sector. It protects against power failure and you can keep your battery in the fridge until you need it for a trip.

• How to make a game to replenish his life over time?

  I tried to write codes in my game it reconstructs the life of the player over time.  But I had no success. For example, in Candy Crush, it's called 'life '. You have 5 lives to the fullest. And once you start a level, he removes 1 5 life point. And then the timer next to the label of life begins to count down from 20 minutes to 0. Once it reaches 0, it gives you 1 point of life back so that you can restart a level. I tried to do it like this: stop Frame EventListener countdown from 20 minutes to 0 whenever the number of life is less than 5 years, and once it reaches 5, numbers count. It sounds simple, and it's simple. But what happens if the player leaves the game so that the countdown timer? Let's say the player to the left of the game at 15:10 with 3 lives and reconstruct the 10 min for a life left. And the player starts the game again at 15:30. The player would then 4 lives and rebuild 10 min for a life left. I tried to do by using the date class. But the remaining time is wasted when I left the game and restart the game.

  Instead of an absolute time countdown, count until you reach a maximum and dispatches an event when the maximum is reached. Have a separate object that stores the number and can be initialized at any point. When the user leaves the program, store the former total. When they start again, initialize a new instance of the object of the County with the old County. Display the countdown, if necessary, by subtracting the present value of the maximum value.

  If your object might look like this:

  Counter/public class extends EventDispatcher {}

  protected var _count:int;

  protected var _max:int;

  protected var timer: Timer = new Timer (1000);

  public void Counter(count:int=0,_max:int=20):void {}

  _Count = count;

  _max = max;

  }

  public void start (): void {}

  timer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, incrementTime);

  Timer.Start ();

  }

  public function stop() {}

  timer.removeEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, incrementTime);

  Timer.Stop ();

  }

  public void incrementTime(e:Event=Null):void {}

  _Count ++;

  dispatchEvent (new Event ('countChanged'));

  If (_count == _max) {}

  dispatchEvent (new Event ('countIsMax'));

  possibly could reset _count here

  }

  }

  public function get count (): int {}

  return _count;

  }

  public function get max (): int {}

  return _max;

  }

  public function get count (): int {}

  return _max - _count;

  }

  }

  Its use might look like:

  SerializableAttribute public class votrejeu extends Sprite {}

  protected var counter: counter;

  protected var life: int;

  public var countText:TextField;

  public var livesText:TextField;

  public void YourGame() {}

  Super();
  logic to retrieve stored here number

  counter = new Counter (storedCountThatYouRetrieved);

  counter.addEventListener ('countChanged', updateCountText);

  counter.addEventListener ('countIsMax', updateLives);

  }

  protected function updateCountText(e:Event):void {}

  countText.text = String (counter.countDown);

  }

  protected function updateLives(e:Event):void {}

  life ++;

  livesText.text = String (lives);

  }

  }

• Get information from change of color over time

  Hi all

  I am new to LabView and on this forum, so I hope I'm in the right subforum. If this isn't the case, it would be nice if a mod could move this thread.

  My problem is the following:

  Let's say I have a white spot I want to observe with a camera. The color of the spot turns green over time and I want to acquire the photo, as well as to get the color intensity of green increase developing countries over time. I do not know what features I need to use to get there. Can someone me hint in the right direction? I think that it is at least possible in LabView.

  Thank your all for your help.

• 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.

• 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.

• Battery life has decreased

  I have a Macbook Pro Retina Display, which has been bought only mid-2014. The life of the battery to 100% used, i.e. about 10 hours if not more in the last two days, it dropped up to 7 hours or less.

  Before that, I would take my computer to school with 100% and return at least 50% to go and now I can barely make it through the school day! Only, I use Word, Safari, and most of the time Powerpoint and make sure that all my other apps are off to save battery and yet he still eats battery like crazy. It will say there are still 6 remaining hours and 40 minutes, it will go up to 4.5 hours! I have no games or large application running so I don't see why my battery life has decreased in this measure. The fault might be my charger? I always use my laptop came with that but there cuts everywhere and a few pieces of the wire is exposed.

  Please let me know what I can do to restore my batter life.

  You need to replace your charger, but it probably has nothing to do with your battery life - the 'intelligence' isn't in the battery charger. There are two basic reasons for the battery life decrease: 1) using more electricity or 2) your battery cannot hold as much power as it did when it was new.

  Discover #1 open the activity monitor and click the CPU tab. In the columns, he scored a % CPU which shows the percentage of cycles CPU used by a process. Click on the label and the list of processes are sorted to use above the lowest. Over the next few days keep an eye on her to monitor all the processes that seem to have and maintain a high percentage. My computer will be a process of spike up to 50-60% but down then down quickly. The only time where I see a sustained high CPU usage is when I do something like a large file for archiving or extraction of a CD.

  To check the #2, click the Apple menu and select about this Mac. Then click on the button tray . In the left pane, look for power. You will find information on your battery, including the number of cycles and the health of the battery. Under normal conditions of use of 18 to 24 months old computer should get close enough to use even on a charge like new - I expect maybe a loss of 30 to 40 minutes. But if you have a large number of cycles on the computer - say an average of 5 cycles per week for as long as you have owned the computer, the battery may be almost on time when it needs to be replaced. Battery life depends on several factors which can vary greatly from one person to the next.

• 'Power saver' mode battery life has suddenly deteriorated.

  Hi - I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit on a laptop Toshiba (plug here).  The laptop is a little less than 2 years old and is in constant daily use.

  My battery life got suddenly shorter.  I know this because of my job (I'm a student, and I'm taking notes for the office of disabled people in my uni, so I have to carry my laptop to all my classes and taking notes).  I often have to run my laptop without being able to connect, as some halls are not equipped for it.  Accordingly, I am very tuned to what I can out of my battery.  Before Christmas, with the power saving mode and the brightness of the screen turned down as down as possible and unnecessary services and programs all does not, I could get about 1 hour and 45 minutes out of the laptop, give or take.  But now, 4 weeks later (beginning of the College's new mandate) I can barely get out of 50 minutes with the same settings.
  I understand that the battery life decreases with age.  However, it is a very sharp and makes me think it's abnormal.
  I would also like to point out that when I move the mouse over the battery meter, there is a distress message / (yellow triangle with "!" inside) under where it says "the current power Plan: energy saving»  The message said: "your current plan may reduce system performance."
  I'm fairly certain that this message never used to be there.  In addition, on the 'High Performance' and 'Balanced' it doesn't have this message!
  I changed the power options advanced to answer me.  But I have reset default values on all levels of electrical energy, in "Change Plan settings" in the "Power Options", but it did not help.
  I just reset the power management using the command line (powercfg - restoredefaultschemes), which got rid of my other projects to be able to staff.  I was not able to check if it worked yet - I'll do it later - but I am not optimistic because this warning message is still there.  
  
  
  One last thing: when it is plugged in, that it charges 99%, not 100% as it was!  It is said, "connected - not load."  Can be linked.
  
  
  Any ideas?  This is a major drawback for me because I depend on to get out 2 conferences out of my battery!
  
  
  PS the display brightness is at the very least, and I can't see new programs or processes that are not running before.   In the past few weeks I did a CC registry clean for the first time.
