Sansa Fuze battery: percentage indicated

Hi all - I've noticed recently that the percentage of battery remaining indicated on my Sansa rockets - I have a 2 and a 8 GB - differs the battery percentage remaining indicated through my computer when the device is plugged into the USB port on my PC.

E. g.: verification of my view of "System Settings > Info" on the "rocket", I see 27% duration of remaining battery life.  I immediately connect the "rocket" in a USB port (my computer has two; either one).  The 'Properties' indicator for the rocket of remaining battery life is 63%.

It's constant and reproducible.  There is always a HUGE disparity between the percentage that appears on the "rocket" itself and the percentage indicated via USB/PC connection.  Note that the rockets still indicate a much lower figure.

No idea why this is happening?  Thank you very much in advance for any answer!

I run them down.  As I said, I charge them when I see they are about 20%.  As JK98, mentioned in the "Fuze Battery Life and good practical battery" thread here: "the battery prefers a partial rather than complete discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. »

If you are let off at 20%, which is almost fully discharged. Circuit of the rocket will turn off right around that level to prevent permanent damage to the battery or the charging circuit. Let down this low once in a while is OK, but I wouldn't make a habit of it. Better to load when it comes down to 50% or more. These types of batteries prefer to be crowned often, rather than the older style batteries that worked when deep-cycled.

  • Z510 - fake battery percentage

    I bought Lenovo Ideapd Z510 about 1.5 years. Installed 10 Windows via Windows update 3 months ago. My laptop was working fine until now. 1 week ago I just changed a document and suddenly portable got off without any notification. He did not stop rather he turns off unexpectedly. Shown before setting power off battery percentage was 70%. I tried to turn it on but also used the recovery key, but nothing helped. I plugged in the charger and the charge indicator noticed was RED, which means the battery is low. I turned on the laptop and now the battery percentage shown was 0. Self decided to execute gauge reset it using Lenovo Energy Manager, which in turn will calibrate the battery.

    After two days I though that he's fine now. But I have PES on my laptop for 2 hours and the specified battery life was still 94%. I got that wrong info is displayed. I generated enery powercfg-energy command prompt report. Once I opened the report that I was surprised to see tha last full Charge value is greater than the design capacity, which is quite bizarre. Now, it takes two or three hours to charge completely from 99% to 100%. And even after lsitening to music, surf the Web and edit several documents at the same time battery percentage shown never becomes less than 94% and thatbtoo it takes 2 hours to go from 100% to 96 or 94%.

    Please help me. I want to know what it related equipment and in particular the battery or with the operating system? Note that I did not install any new application or a program in the past 5 months. Thanks in advance.

  • Sansa Fuze stuck on the white screen after disconnecting.

    Once I unplugged my Sansa Fuze on my PS3, it got stuck on a white screen. None of the buttons worked and I couldn't turn it off. I decided that the only thing I could do was to let the battery die and charge it again. Finally, he died and I plugged it in, it loads to full is the same thing. So I tried again, except I only left it plugged in for a while and disconnected. My music has arisen and it seems to work, but it stops immediately by the lack of power. Now no matter what I have plug in, it lights at all. I connected it to my computer and installed the drivers for it, but the rocket itself did not come, and the computer says it has malfunctioned and pilots have not been recognized. So now I can't listen to my music or anything like that. Help?

    Drag the spring-loaded power switch in the highest position for 20-30 seconds. (note that in extreme cases it can sometimes it may take a minute). Release and see if it boots normally.

    SanDisk replace battery in refurbished Sansa Fuze music players?


  • Sansa Fuze connects, but does not load and does not appear on my computer.

    Hello everyone.

    I have a 4 Gb Sansa Fuze, which is (of course) out of warranty.  I have been enjoying his music for quite awhile and have had absolutely no problems with it until two days ago, when it ran out of battery.  I left it in my car and the next day went to connect via the USB port on my computer.  The sansa has begun with its typical "splash screen" reading "Sandisk Sansa, followed shortly after by a blue moving the ring and the words 'Connected', followed by about a second later"writing", followed by a second. later 'connected'  This is normal for my fuze (that I know).  However, the problem with the logo of the battery in the bottom right of the screen, which normally indicates a small "lightning bolt" next to the battery and it shows the battery 'filler '.  Now it shows only a white empty battery.  There is no bolt of lightning, and there is no charge to the battery.

    I have tried to consider the sansa as a device via "My Computer" and sync in Windows Media Player.  None of them show that I have nothing connected.  The sansa updater doesn't recognize not my rocket is connected.

    I know for a fact that the USB loader is not faulty, as I also have a second Sansa Fuze that connects perfectly and was purchased at the same time.  I don't think that it is the slot USB itself that I changed the port to all others and still did not have a change in the status of my sansa (broken).

    If it helps is that I connect to the computer:

    HP Pavilion m7580n

    AMD Athlon 64 X 2 processor Dual Core 4400 +

    2 GB DDR2 RAM 1.8 GHz

    Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2

    Thanks in advance for any help that can be given...

    also, I would like to apologize if this has already been discussed (I read until my eyes hurt and couldn't find something similar).

    Thanks again,

    Josh

    UPDATE:

    Apparently the good things come to those who wait (and leave that their Sansa rockets connected for days despite the hopes of oinitial n it will load).  Today I woke up and found that my Sansa Fuze, which previously were not load had miraculously blamed himself.  I have unfortunately no idea as to the reason that he works all of a sudden.

    Thanks for your help anyway!  It is good to know that there is a place to come when your Sansa is broken...

    Thanks again,

    Josh

  • Sansa Fuze does not turn. * Officially solved! See post 7 in thread for answer! *

    OK, so I put a video that I made using the Sansa Media Converter. I made the video in one. AVI using SUPER and put the file in SMC. I waited on hidden. I'll be back and conversion was hung and stopped at 74. It wasn't a huge deal. It's happened before. I decided to come back in a bit to see if it continues the conversion. When I came back, my drive was off and the percentage bar had not moved. I removed the player and tried to turn it on. It turned on and "refreshed media." Immediately after, however, it stops immediately. I tried a soft reset (button / waiting for 15-60 seconds) and he came for a few seconds only to stop again. More funny thing is though, it actually stopped by itself. He even went to the screen 'goodbye'. Now it won't even turn. He lights and turn off by itself. Sometimes I can turn on soft reset, only that it is black screen. Even when I plug it to my computer, it will be either turn on, black screen after a few seconds or not at all.

    Player: Sansa Fuze 8 GB

    Computer OS: Windows XP SP2

    Firmware: 1.01.15

    Please, I beg you. This will be my second player perfect condition which has out crapped on my Sansa. I had an e2600 who had a hard drive failure after only 8 months. If I have a solution that States "buy a new player", I'm afraid I have to leave Sansa.

    Any help will be greatly apprieciated.

    Very well. I think I finally found the problem of this. The problem seems to lie in the SCM. It seems very harmful effects if during a conversion process, the computer transfers to virtual memory. An update of the firmware seems to correct this problem. Again, I will never video convert on this computer.

    I'll give this time, Sansa. Is not your fault.

  • Sansa Fuze attached to my docking station

    Hello

    Initially, I got an iPod touch and he hated. (Due to the process running in the background kills the battery time more so than if I was listening to just mp3s.)

    So I just bought a Sansa Fuze for a realitively cheap off a merchant online and I expect to soon.

    My question is...

    I have an iPod dock which is also a radio and it has the iPod base and the setting of the radio, but also has a cable to THE outputs.

    I was wondering if I made a playlist on the Sansa fuze and attached the Sansa Fuze to the iPod via the port dock to THE and kept the playlist on the shuffle affecting all night and when the alarm turns on the time I put to him, I have here would be the songs through the reading list since technically the speakers had to be activated so?

    I let just the sansa fuze on the wall charger, I also bought.

    I think it would work, what do you think?

    Thank you very much for your help.

  • iPhone battery percentage 6 stuck

    Hello, I have an iphone 6 purchased from Apple about the release two years ago, never had any problems until this Friday, 10 March 16 when I noticed my battery percentage was is no longer draining after moderate use. He would stay at 100 percent every day and then turns off randomly. I have iOS 10.0.2, have tried to reset, power on/off, restore factory... nothing works! Is someone able to please shed some light on why this might be the case? Google tells me that there was a similar problem earlier this year when those who have no zone defined as auto has encountered a similar problem with the battery percentage being stuck and not up-to-date (i.e. no reflective battery drains with use). I went to settings and noticed that my time zone was not set as automatic. Does anyone else have this same problem and what is the reference for this?

    I'm surprised that factory reset did not fix this problem... help...

    Hello.

    First, plug in your iPhone, let the screen off and do nothing for a long period of time. Leave it plugged in all night while you sleep is perfect for that.

    Then, restart your iPhone by pressing and maintaining the sleep/wake and home buttons.

    You can also try following the suggestions of battery life. Go to settings > farm > find 'Suggestions of battery life.

    In addition, it is preferable to follow the Apple recommendations given in this article http://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/

    Hello

    I have the same problem. I keep that suffer over the months, but with the new update is even worse.

    This happens especially after I turn off my phone for the night. When I turn on the battery down over 20% or more.

    today when I switched on the battery he was 43% and then it off later. I could not turn it back to the. I tried after a few minutes, then he works with 43% unexpected. then he fell 23%, and since he has never changed.

    When I put the phone in charge the battery seems to be gaining a return of 20% extra.

    is also a 5s.

    any chance someone has a solution to this issue? I was reading the forums and there seem to be many posts osimilar, but apple seem not to care about it.

    Thank you.

  • generation iPod Nano 7 jumping battery percentage

    Hello.

    I recently got an opportunity 7th generation iPod Nano and the battery percentage jumps around. I use it and it seems that it is half-percent or less then I turn off the screen and turn the screen turn it on again to change the song and it will pop up to like more than half. Is this normal or a kind of glitch that I should take to the Genius Bar? Does that mean I have a bad battery? Thank you.

    Try to let the game iPod continuously, until it is unloaded.  You can let them play unsupervised until he stops playing alone.  Then, connect it to the power for a few hours, so that it is completely recharged.  See if that makes the battery to act more reliably.  It is good sometimes to drain the battery completely and then load it completely.
