Version active Stylus A02 and horrible battery life.

Is this pen never auto-off or does just go in mode 'sleep'? I bought the version A02 June 7. The last time I used it was June 11. On 19 June, I discovered that the battery is completely dead. I only used it for just five days. Even if the battery is dead today, we're always talking less than two weeks most of the time sitting in my drawer.

I wonder if it's because I put the pen right next to my tablet in my drawer. But then my tablet is completely turned off. With my V8P completely off, store the stylus just beside the Tablet shouldn't matter, right? I don't know what is happening.

was here. The original has the expiry date of 2018, but I don't think that Dell or the manufacture of pen buy them in huge bulk, and as it is called this way buying much are not the height.  :-)
The A02 works now about 7 to 8 weeks with spare battery.
A01 for about 2 more weeks.
We do not use the constantly but quite a long time to see a huge difference compared to the original batteries.
I also bought the batteries from Amazon and not in the stores (because of price). 14 for $10. They also came with expiry date 2018. :-) I would day if you replace the battery and it is drained a few days again once you have a faulty pen.

Not knowing where you bought your but I always recommend buying the stylus directly from Dell. I saw that people who were selling on eBay as 01 or 02, but they were actually 00. 00 had the problem of drainage. It's users to get replacements 01 or 02 returns. People to not keep the 00 packaging and put their 00 01 or 02 and returned the area. On eBay we could get you a 00 in a box 01 or 02. Looking at the pen you don't see any difference.

  • Mid-2015 MacBook Pro 15 has Horrible battery life

    I have a Macbook Pro 15 mid-2015 is the basic model, 2.2 Ghz and 256 with no graphics other than the Pro of the Iris.  I got it for about 3 months and I take off the power once a weekish and use it around the House.  Whole reason I decided to go Apple was because I wanted to the battery life that windows machines cannot offer with that kind of power.

    I must have got a spleen or something because my battery life is bad.  I lance 50% screen and backlight OFF and do nothing to keep open.  My Dock has nothing open except for the mail to notify me and my browser if I use it (98% of the time).  The battery life is maximum of 4-5 hours to do this constantly, the only time where I got was more a road trip where I turned the backlight and display off and using only iTunes to listen to music through my headphones via bluetooth, it provided for 20 + hours this day here.  Just get here for the last minutes went from 38 to 19 percent more than 31 minutes of battery time.  I know a decent amount about computers and I am a saver of energy mass unless I'm hip, low light, no backlight, no program didn't open that I do not use etc and yet I get a ridiculous autonomy.

    What should I do? Any suggestions? I read somewhere on the power off and then when you power back up hold down Option + command + R to put something else inside the machine.

    My battery life is normal for what I described?  It of not like I'm that fool who knows nothing about computers and leaves open pages, mail, messages, itunes, Skype and browser just because I can.  I leave nothing open (so no programs on the platform were the 'point' under them), erasing everything that isn't necessary VIA activity monitor, such things as creative cloud.  I'm just puzzled.  I must have got a dud.  Please help and advise me on what I should / test.

    Running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3, but it's not just because of El Capitan, this has been like that since Yosemite when I bought first.

    Thank you

    Your computer is still under warranty, so do the logical thing: make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. If you are in the United States or is unable to make an appointment in this way, contact your Apple store. Don't forget that you have free phone service for 90 days after purchase.

  • Acer switch Alpha 12 - Horrible battery life

    I got the new Acer for a few weeks now and am totally disappointed with the battery life.  Pushing I can get maximum about 2½ hours before the battery to recharge.  This is without doing anything difficult for Acer.  Brightness is 25% and I lost about 35% per hour.  This is not normal, it can?  Anyone who suffers from the same ridiculous autonomy?  Apart from that I am quite satisfied.

    Definitely not normal. Mine lasts several hours on battery. Start with the normal checks, just to make sure that you do not run with its brightness best of all time and others, then look at what you have running, constant activity network (as with bittorrent running) will suck the battery.

  • 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.

  • Horrible battery life

    Hello world

    I don't know what else to do.  Seriously, I think that I have a defective battery.  I googled "tips for saving battery life on iOS 9 ', but nothing seems to help. I'm not keen on a large number of features is disabled on my iPod Touch.  I have reset, restored, disabled mail set Backgroud App Refresh, location, updating manually, Services etc.  Whenever I play heavy games, the battery goes from 100% to 20% in a little over an hour. Regular web browsing and more lightweight games gives me a little more than four hours. If I'm lucky, I get five hours of use, if I barely use the iPod.  I saw the other posts here from people complaining about bad autonomy on the iPT new 6g.  I'm about to go into an Apple store and get it checked, if possible. I can already hear the speech "it is normal".  Something else I'm missing?  Very disappointed.

    I would go and get checked out. I know that games can drain it. I played Village Smurfs for several months and now I need to load my ipod every night so a game can drain your battery. I don't play the game constantly, but I could tell a few minutes to an hour a good part of the day.

  • on iphone 6s horrible battery life

    So someone else noticing their battery run out too quickly on an iphone 6s?  Mine has fallen by 18% overnight - with no use... very disappointed with this phone...

    There are many factors that can be the cause of this behavior. If you are concerned about this problem, you can take your phone to a CENTER or an Apple Store and have their running the diagnostics on this subject. You will learn the status of your battery, but more importantly, you will learn what consume the apps for your battery.

  • Active stylus problems (coming Pro 11, 7140)

    I have a Dell Active Stylus A02, as well as a meeting place for Dell 11 Pro 7140. The problem I have is that the stylus doesn't work sometimes and that it is not more recognized by the Tablet PC. To work around the problem, reset the pen by removing / reinserting the battery still works, but is a bit annoying. This problem already known and is there a solution available?

    While most customers have good results with version A02 of the pen, there have been some exceptions.   You should not reset the pen like that.   I recommend contacting our assistance and asking new version A00 of the stylus.   The revision has changed back to A00 following a new part number.   The new stylus can be identified easily because it is silver and black instead of black.

  • In the last few days my xt720 run hot and the battery to last for only 4 hours

    I don't know what happened to my XT720 but since 2 days my phone is running more hot than usual in the back between xeon flash and plate "xeon 8.0.

    I think it should be the domain of the CPU

    I tried to remove the battery several times, but it does not help

    Now, I have disabled all the synchronizations and data exchange, off WIFI and basic GPS (but I used to have my phone with this setting turned on for several weeks) and still no improvement.

    The phone is good work and looks like there is just an application of high power of the CPU for something.

    I would try a reset of the device factory to check if some sw or fw settings has been the cause of this new bad behavior.

    Do you think that it's worth to try it, or is it better to get in touch with Motorola customer service to request a check (my phone has only 3.5 months of life)

    Thank you

    Marco

    Resolved after a factory reset!

    In fact, I would suggest that a reset from factory to everyone feels that the battery of the XT720 wouldn't last as expected.

    I have my phone unplugged and mode intelligence (with active Gmail) from 9 h 42 m and the battery is still at 70%

    This is a very positive behavior from the last days where my battery low runned after about 4 h.

    It is also a good way to assess the potential of the stand-by battery and could be a way to compare the real potential of vanilla by a custom filter (widget, screensaver, desktop direct current) and think that if it is worth to keep the customization and the battery life let go.

  • New owner of smartwatch 3, only about 12 hours of battery life!

    Hi, seems that I'm not the problem of battery life only experience on smartwatch 3. Just received the watch last week to use with my Xperia XZ, overall satisfied with the watch but the life of the battery.

    Expected to last two days, but have misery through one day, software up-to-date, tried resetting and turning still wide screen, still not sustainable as it should.

    Use it mostly for review, some applications and sometimes music.

    My Apple Watch series 2 rated power up to 18 hours on the other hand lasts about two days, was expected at least on the SW3.

    What is the problem, and have the battery gets worse with subsequent updates? Someone here suggested it could be lifelog app the cause, but have no experience with it before the last update.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Thanks for the info. Just updated earlier today and Lifelog reinstalled/activated on the phone, SW3 far, no battery drain and seams very stable batterylife, 12 hours and up to 66% with about 22 hours battery left . A happy field here.

    Anyone else having this problem, updates to Lifelog and go to carry Android app and apps to sync again, to ensure that the update is synchronized to your SW3.

  • Battery life

    Someone else has problems with how long does the battery last? I just bought mine yesterday and the battery life is very short. I am very disappointed. He had a full charge to 01:00 and I put it and when I woke up at 7:30, it was like 26%.

    Hello

    Battery life varies depending on use and other factors.

    During tests, for example, Apple has reached 18 hours of battery life with the next use: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of usage of the app and a workout of 30 minutes with Apple Watch Bluetooth music playback.

    Other examples are available here:

  • Why battery life decreases significantly when I use Safari?

    I upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.5. on my Macbook air early 2014.  Just when you open Safari, it is listed as using the significant energy and the battery life decreases by several hours.

    I have no software extensions or third running.  I didn't have bugs or other problems since the installation of El Capitan, just this matter of battery life.

    If anyone has any recommendations on how to investigate this, I would be very grateful.  Thank you.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    ~/Library/Safari

    A right click or Ctrl-click on the line and select

    Services ▹ Open

    the contextual menu.* should open a folder named "Safari". Quit Safari runs. One or more files in the open file must have a name begins as follows:

    History.DB - wal

    Move these files and only those who, in the trash, leaving the window open. Restart the application and test. If there is no change, stop again and place all other files with a name starting in 'History' of the Safari folder to the trash. The browser history will be empty. If possible, restore the file named "History.db" from an earlier backup problem.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

  • ART and the battery issues

    Hi all! It's been a while since my last post here. Having spent of a Bionic to a Razr Maxx HD to a Moto X 2014 and recently a Droid Turbo... I have a few questions.

    I noticed that when I charge the phone using the Turbo charger, the phone tends to run a bit hot. Is this normal? I wouldn't say it's warm to the touch, very hot well. I got up the phone all together and the battery life took a hit from that, but everything around the battery doesn't seem to be as long as I thought. I had it with a low light and not too much use, dip below 20%, twice in the last hours 9. So about 65 percent of 9 hours battery drain. I never had a problem like this on my Razr Maxx HD or the Moto X 2014. He gets better?

    Another issue I have is that I recently spent at Runtime in the Dalvik for ART Developer options (so it is faster when the update of lollipop coming and for other benefits) but I found that when I turn on the phone, he optimized 253 all apps I had. Not a big deal, that happened when my X 2014 updated to 5.0. The question came when the phone charged the homescreen app command would not be responsible and I could not close the screen. So I turned off the phone, and when he turned he said he was 58 optimization apps. The app of command worked. I decided to do more market 3 times and now whenever I turn on the phone, it has to re-optimize 58 apps, can we explain why it does this or how do I do to stop?

    Thanks in advance!

    Joe

    The only solution, I know, is to return to the Dalvik for now. For some reason just ART don't play well with the Turbo running the latest OS of KitKat.

    The 5.1 update, if and when it happens, should solve this problem because the ART is the default operator in this configuration.
