While playing battery life

• Tecra M2, battery life

  Got this lappy a week ago (dothan 1.6, video 512/60/64)
  All right, but I am concerned about the life of the battery of the standard package.

  Once fully charged, it shows a little less then 3 hours of work.

  Then time falls rather quickly. 90% ago 02:24
  Manufacturer and several critics claim that the battery life should be at least 4 hours.

  I reinstalled Toshiba Power Management. Then XP asked to reinstall common Modules.
  However, it did not help much.

  Can I have a broken battery or this longevity is good for this machine?

  My old laptop had a utility of calibration of the configuration of the BIOS battery.
  Is there somewhat similar? It seems that the system reads value battery incorrectly.

  To Check first, Toshiba site and Microsoft for any update of the operating system or drivers that can help.

  About the battery life, I know on older batteries, they worked as how you mentioned.

  They lists only a change of time remaining at certain times of the battery.

  For example, it can declare 100% for 30 minutes, but then drop to 50% all of a sudden.

  But this has happened on NiCad batteries because they lacked a "smart" sensor in the battery to detect small changes.

  The battery you have is a Li-ion, so this problem should not exist.

  Depending on what you were doing at the time and what power management settings you put in, this will also play a role in how fast your battery drains.

  Have the wireless on when you don't have not wireless configuration will drain more quickly the battery.

  Playing a CD / DVD, watching movies & games all drip the battery more quickly.

  Power management settings, if the value of 'Always On', it will cause the CPU to run at full speed, even on battery.

  This is a BIG drain on the battery, while leaving the brightness of the LCD on MAX.

  Check your settings, make sure that it has defined for the laptop and try to get down your glow.

  If these suggestions do not help, it is possible that you have a defective battery, if so you may want to get it replaced.

  Good luck!

• Shutdown A200 satellite while playing games

  I have a satellite A200, that is around the age of 6 months.
  Yesterday while playing a game, it's just instantly shutdown.
  He did a couple of times now. The upper left side is very hot as below. Thinking that it is an overheating problem?

  Checked the CPU usage while playing and does not seem to be unusually high.
  Is used on the desktop with appropriate around her space
  Laptop of not old but works all day, but is stopped from one day to the next. Surely the heaksink would not be already clogged?
  Runs with no battery, just on the sector to extend battery life when using at home.

  Only happens while the game paying, also monitor is set to increase the size of the screen.
  Still under warranty but don't really want to have taken stuff back because I moved to remote outback and am not near a large city, as well as if they test everything by running do not game, they'll probably just say it's very good.

  Will try and blow up the heatsink without taking the case anyway to see if that helps. Any other ideas?

  Thank you

  I agree with Akuma.
  It s certainly one overheating and cela occurs because the internal temperature is too high. All internal devices such as CPU, GPU, are running with a yield maximum all in game and produce high heat dissipation. This increases the temperature and leads to overheating.
  I think your work cooling of modules with a maximum yield don t because they are blocked.
  Please check if the dust and debris affect the cooling fans and if necessary use the jet of compressed air to clean these fans.

  I think this should help to prevent the notebook from overheating more specific questions.

• Satellite A215-S4757 - battery life and the problem of cooling fan

  Hello everyone,

  I would like to ask a few questions abou my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

  I have my laptop since last August and I think that it shouldn't be a dust problem, because it is too 'young' for this and I do not live in an apartment "dusty"...

  In any case, I think that the problem of "almost allways running fan" appeared about 2 months after I bought the laptop. I installed 'Speedfan' and I see 'HD0' temperature increases of 30deg remarks immediately after I have start the laptop, on 39deg after 1 hour.

  But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?

  Is the normal temperature of 45-50deg? I use my laptop for browsing the Internet, emails, etc., no complex 3d games!

  The second thing is that the battery life is (and has been since the beginning) not spectacular: it lasts max. 1.5 hours with wireless use on, but normal laptop (don't play not DVDs or something like that). Is this normal? If so, is it because of the amd processor turion 64 x 2?

  Please help me with some tips / advice.

  P.S. I bought my Toshiba as I was travelling to the US (NY).

  Thank you much in advance.

  > I would like to ask a few questions about my system: first, the cooling fan works in my view too often: almost without interruption, with brakes for 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?

  I m an owner of a Satellite A210. It s similar to the A215. The A210 is a European model and the A215 belongs to the series of cell phones in the United States.
  I noticed the same thing on my A210, and I think that's a normal s behavior.

  > But the most curious is that so called "Core" temperature oscillates from the beginning between 45deg and 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature rises to 50deg and stops when the temperature reached 45deg. This behavior is normal?
  The 40-60deg CPU temperature is not unusual.
  The temperature could affect up to 70-80degrees by practicing a game. So Don t worry about the temperature.
  Cooling modules are controlled by the BIOS. Fan table is stored in the BIOS and it contains information about the limits of temperature and the use of cooling.
  If a certain level of temperature has been reached the cooling module begins to spin with a certain speed.

  Now, I would like to say a few words on the life of portable batteries
  Generally the duration of battery life depends on the use of portable computers.
  While playing games or watching movies the battery a lot faster.

  In any case, your laptop is equipped with high performance devices and AFAIK Vista was preinstalled on this series. The two factors (high performance CPU and GPU devices) + Vista OS need a lot of battery power. Vista needs of more resources for laptop like Win XP, and so portable computers equipped with Vista operating system run more short on battery such as laptops pre-installed with Win XP.

  Finally and above all he must know that there are different models more strong the battery with high * value of my would help run the notebook longer using the power of the battery.

  Hope I could clarify this issue.

• video files do not work on the rocket / battery life only half

  I can't read music on my Sansa 4 GB rocket videos. I use Sansa media converter. I want to watch videos on it but I wait like 20 to 30 minutes just to appear in the menu and see just a black screen when I try to watch it. I think a new firmware update might help. Did someone herd all the rumors when a new will be available? I really like the "rocket", but I noticed that there are a lot of bugs in the programming.                                                                                                                                Also the battery life lasts about 12 hours (assumed to be 24 hours).  I have an extended through shack radio warranty is possible that they will be able to fix this?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Thank you for your time, Sansa65

  Not sure of your video problem, but can only talk about music? Format (WMA, Ogg, FLAC, MP3)? Bitrate? Using MP3 at 128 Kbps should give you 24 hours. If you use FLAC or (my favorite) Oggs, or a higher rate, then you are going to consume more energy. If this is not the case and that you use 128 Kbps MP3s, then load the "rocket" completely up, play music on it until it dies (don't stop it, it stop automatically when the battery is too low), then load it completely upwards without interruption (the battery icon stops flashing and disappears from the Lightning). You should not discharge/recharge the battery as it more than twice. This should recalibrate the battery (such as, to synchronize the farm while she knows exactly how responsible it is). Sometimes, when a battery test it in the factory or use over a long period of time UN-calibrates the battery.

• No Ogg sucking your battery life?

  I've been torture test two clips, load them completely and then play an album repeatedly and measure how long the battery lasts.   My Ogg bitrate tests are much shorter than mp3 VBR tests, as much as half the battery life for Ogg Q8.5 vs mp3 V0.

  Can someone reproduce the test with the "rocket".    I suspect that the results will be similar.   My guess is that the Ogg decoder works the Arm processor to a higher clock frequency.

  Here is my link to my test clip: http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=clip&thread.id=14326

  I would do the same thing, but I lent my Fuze, and it doesn't look like I'll be back >.< >

  I will buy another. It is not only a priority Clips my player preferred atm.

  Here's the summary that shows the difference.

  Game time - comparing money Sansa Clip 4GR 1 vs... GR 8, 2 black Sansa Clip: 1/4 of the Volume

  Money Flac Lvl8: 09:02 * money wins an hour longer than 8GR 2 black *.
  Black Flac Lvl8: 07:46 I do not understand why?  I'll do the test again

  Money Ogg q8.5 ~ 256 k: * will retest - Silver died while I was away *.
  Black Ogg q8.5 ~ 256 k: 08:05 * black played yet so he wins but not sure what *.

  Ogg q5 of money ~ 151 k: 10:15
  Q5 black Ogg ~ 151 k: 12:12 * 8GR 2 black lasted 2 hours more than money 4GR 1 *

  Money MP3 v0 ~ 252 k VBR: 15:07
  MP3 of Black v0 ~ 252 k VBR: 17:18 * 8GR 2 black lasted 2 hours more than money 4GR 1 *

  Money v6 MP3 ~ 128 k VBR: 17:40
  Black V6 MP3 ~ 128 k VBR: 20:47 * Amazing.  has lasted 3 hours more than money 4GR 1 *.
  

  Controlled the results of favorite tests, the conjectures of vs and speculation.

  OK, Ogg requires more processing power and higher clock frequency than MP3.

• 10 IOS battery life issues

  Since the update to IOS 10 my battery percentage meter slept on 100% at all times. the only time where is the change is if im using the phone to play a game or something and it all of a sudden everything stops as his death. I plug it into a charger and it turns almost immediately and said my battery life is a kind of p 100, 40, 73, etc... I did a restore and it seems it will continue with the same question.  I followed all the steps to save the life of the battery and the problem still happens.  Help, please

  Try to download the app from the battery life which is available for free on the App Store. Check the battery with it and if defective, schedule an appointment in an Apple store for eventual replacement.

  If your device does not load, try the procedure described in this article from Apple:

• I use my iPhone 6 very often to my office for phone calls.  This will help overall battery life to stay connected as I have all these phone calls?

  I use my iPhone 6 very often to my office for phone calls.  This is my work phone.

  This will help life battery together if I keep the phone plugged in my phone calls?

  Thank you

  SUSE, you can use it while connected and in this way when you unplug to get somewhere, you know you will have a fully updated beautiful upgraded battery.

  Just don't leave it plugged constantly all the time — weeks or months.  A battery lithium needs periodically some running through it.  But certainly leave it plugged during the day of the company while using it, or even just for long calls will do no harm.

  Battery life is determined by the cycles, so if this reduces the rate of your phone through equivalent full charge and discharge cycles it can not hurt self-help (depending on how you use it, it cannot help battery life much either, but it probably won't hurt it).

• Satellite T230 - 11 p - only 4 or 5 hours battery life

  I recently bought by Satellite T230 - 11 p. Once I took it out of the package I plugged the AC adapter and used for a while and kept until it is fully charged. But the battery life last for 4 or 5 hours. In the manual, he wrote the life of the battery last for 8 hours.

  Please help me with this problem. Should I replace the battery by a new, or - is this normal?

  Hi Krishj,

  In my battery of 4-5 hours notice, life is beautiful and everything is ok with your computer laptop because it s always according to your use. If you run a large number of programs and using the brightness of the display, the laptop needs more energy. Which is a perfectly normal behavior.

  Usually 8 hours autonomy you will have with the brightness of the display only low and high level of energy saving.

• Tecra A3 battery life

  Product specifications for tecra a3 in this website indicates 3.46 hours-mobile brand. I get less than that, although enough to watch a movie. Can I know what this sheet is based-maybe a battery high capacity and the battery supplied with the camera?

  Hello

  the battery life depends on how much power setting you use in battery mode. 3.46 hours can be achieved only at the lowest setting. Another thing is that not all batteries of the same type same time (normally only slight differences). And after a while in use, the battery life will decrease until eventually it stops working (in some years).

  But maybe your battery is not working properly just and must be replaced.

  Good bye

• NB500 battery life

  Hey guys, I recently bought a new NB500 netbook after doing some research. Good price and good little unit.

  The only question seems to be the life of the battery. I read constantly about how netbooks have rgeat autonomy and supposedly the NB500 is no exception. However, after putting in place and get the updates etc, I unplugged to see how it would go without power.

  Surprisingly, the best I could get 3 hours in Eco mode. Balanced, it is a little less than 2 hours. I could watch him literally check low 100% right on the office without any heavy process of all, has let alone internet browing or work.

  And that's what bothers me little. On all kinds of tests and examinations, they make screen full brightness video playing full test and get like 5 + hours, but for me just sitting there on the minimum brightness running absolutely nothing, maybe I can get three hours?

  Is there something that I miss to this battery, because this is a key reason why I bought the machine. Any help would be great!

  Which is really strange.
  A few days ago, I read thread on NB550D under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=233198 and was surprised when guys with user name kLay reported about 11 hours of battery life.

  I recommend you to work on the AC adapter / CC only all day and then try it again.

• 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.

• What is the battery life of a Satellite L30-113?

  Hello
  I think to buy this laptop for £299.99 from Play.com
  However there is no mention of the battery life, and I really need to know what it is if I buy this laptop.

  I'll use for net surfing, msn and DVD :-)
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I know the machine, but main autonomy depends on the battery capacity. As I know come in two sizes: 2000 mAh and 4000 mAh.

  If you use it just for surfing and etc, you will have a battery life of 2 hours with the 4000 mAh.
  But be careful: If you have several applications that run in the background or opened, your battery life might be shorter. (more charges system means shorter battery life)

  And finally and especially your battery life also depends on your powersaver settings, so you will need to find the configuration that fits for you (performance and battery life)

  Hope I could help you

• Satellite C660-184 freezes at random times while playing a game.

  Laptop freezes at random times while playing Football Manager 2011. The game is not graphics intensive and worked for about a month with no problems, just recently it started to freeze, and the only thing I can do is to turn off my laptop by the power button.

  I have a

  My graphics driver is up to date, said my last is 28/07/2010.

  I am at a loss to explain what is happening.

  Help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  > The game is not graphics intensive and worked for about a month without any problems, has recently started to freeze
  This could mean that the laptop is overheating
  The reason for overheating is the dust that blocks the fan for laptop gets hotter

  I recommend to clean using a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. You can do it without disassembling the computer so it is very easy and takes only 5 minutes.
  Just remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter before doing this.

  For example I clean my laptop every 4 months because a lot of dust is coming so it s worth it.

• Satellite M105-SP381: short battery life - 01:50 mins

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Satellite M105 and I think that Im not getting good battery life out of it. I have had the machine for 1 month and I can barely 01:50 mins on drums, with a minimum brightness and wifi, just surf the web and listen to mp3s. What is the performance expected for this type of machine?

  It has a 1.8 Core Duo, 1 GB RAM, 80 gb HD, ATI x 1300 14 "of clues? I use the watch system to "long term" Toshiba application. My battery was unaffected by the action of voluntary exchange of Toshiba.

  Thank you

  HI Juan,

  Different parts of the book will use you the power at higher or lower rates. Any component with a mechanical action (your hard drive, optical drive, floppy drive, etc.) use generally a little more power than the CPU, RAM etc.

  The effect is to drain the battery faster if the hard drive or optical drive is used. So, generally, is expected to get more autonomy if you use an application such as Word or Excel where there is minimum hard disk activity unless you're constantly saving or loading documents.

  In your case, playback of MP3 files will constantly have to load data from the drive hard (although cached to reduce the number of access) while you browsing the internet is constantly written pages in your Temporary Internet folder (as well as access to your anti-virus database). All this activity hard drive means that the hard drive is never allowed to turn down and therefore do not have to use the power of the battery.

  As long as you follow the usual recommendations to optimize your battery (let it fully discharge from time to time) I think that the time you get really is reasonable for the type of activity that you do.

  Kind regards
