Resolved Question: How can i reduce the life of my iPod battery?

okay. get over yourself trying to tell me to get over myself. no one here's gonna make you a martyr if you whine about my lack of appreciation towards my things. ANYWAY. I've had my iPod nano [4gb 3rd-g] for nearly 3 years. it's no longer any kind of warranty. and the battery now lasts about a school day on a full charge of off-and-on use. i'll charge it overnight, and by the time i eat dinner, about 6 hours later it's completely dead. i've talked to my parents and they feel getting a replacement battery is not worth the cost. now, my dishonesty there was that i told them battery replacement was $99, which it's actually $59, to have them more reluctant to the idea of replacing the battery. so that's my dishonesty, oooh, yes, boo, hiss, shame on me, burn me in hell, right? oh, shut up. ANYWAY........[again..] is there any way i can wear the battery out completely? i know if i did any sort of water damage, they'd never know, but i'd like it to be an actual battery problem so i could sell it for parts on ebay. ideas? i've heard of charging it full, and putting backlight/brightness/EQ/volume/repeat all on at the same time and play a song or video while still plugged in, does that work? anything else? thanks :D [and this would be so i could coax my parents into letting me GET a new iPod, not necessarily THEM buying it for me.] more

Resolved Question: How much does it take to replace an iPod in this situation?

It's a really old 5th generation iPod I think, its from 2005. It's one of those iPod videos, or so they used to call them, with 30gb of memory. I do not have the warranty or documents or anything anymore, just the iPod. The problem is, the battery stopped working. I plug it in for a few seconds and it says it's fully charged and when I try to use it it says it needs to be charged and then shuts down. The battery life progressively decreased to zero. If I went to an Apple store what could they do for me? Would they replace my iPod with a new one? Or would they repair/replace the battery? How much would this cost each cost? How much time would it take? Thanks a lot to whoever can answer this. more

Resolved Question: ipod nano replacement?

My iPod Nano has seen better days, it had been accidentally left in my trousers and was put through the washer. Now the back light is out, and the battery life is no longer than 2 hours.

Voting Question: 80Gig Classic iPod or upgrade to 64gig iPod touch?

My iPod is my favorite device. I had one of the earliest generations for 30GB but later bought my own 80GB with video and all that good stuff. I was so grateful for that upgrade! Now a few years later I'm on the thresh-hold of perhaps getting the iPod touch and need some help deciding. Main concern: Less Space I currently have 30+GB of music, but could easily add just as much in video even though right now I am only using about 40Gigs total and it would fit on the 64. What's the chances of them coming out with an 80gig or higher soon and is it worth the wait? Battery life : I heard the battery life is less, but I suppose I could get a car charger to help... Less important: Ease of commands while not looking at the device. I am used to skipping songs or doing basic controls while the iPod is in my pocket or next to me in the car when I am driving and I do not have to look at it by feel of the buttons. How convenient is the touch navigation? I am interested in the voice activation but may be using my own ear phones which would make that pointless. If you do shake to shuffle can it do the next song or at least a song within the same playlist or artist? I would hate to be surprised too much as I have an extremely wide variety of music... and what about if it shakes accidentally? FEATURES I'M INTERESTED IN FOR IPOD TOUCH: WiFi/internet when available. Bigger screen for videos. Applications such as for games, dictionary, etc. E-books - currently do this, but only using a program that breaks it up into a 200+ text notes Genius mixes - I really like this feature in iTunes. Searching - it's a big headache to scroll through the alphabet and even worse to scroll through my entire collection of music. I am pretty sure I will convert to the touch eventually no matter what, but wonder if it would be worth waiting just a bit longer? I wouldn't even consider the 32GB or less models when they were the only ones available. more

Resolved Question: Ipod touch battery life question?

I just added a bunch of new videos and music to my Ipod Touch for a long trip I'm taking in a couple of days. I've now filled about 23 gb of it's 32 gb capacity. Will the battery run down more quickly now that I have so much stuff on the Ipod, or does it still depend solely on what I'm doing with the Ipod? It used to last me about 30 hours when listening to music, and about 5 hours when watching video, and I'm hoping that's still the case. Thanks!I just added the battery magic app -- it rocks! Thanks so much! more

Voting Question: My ipod touch's battery doesn't last too long. Could it have a defect? How long does your ipod stay charged?

I got an ipod touch like 2 years ago for Christmas. I am talking about the 16gb 2nd generation ipod touch. When I first got it I charged it up to full power and started putting music on it and downloading apps. I started taking it on the bus and stuff. A week later, I noticed that my ipod touch didn't stay charged for too long. Especially when having on a music video or playing games and using different apps. Games and app's just drained the power. I listen to music on it and it lasts longer but still dies out pretty fast. On average, if I were to charge it fully and play app's on it alone, it would only last for 45 minutes. If I were to listen to nothing but music it usually lasts only 3 hours tops. I didn't damage it or anything, it's been like this since I first got it. It sucks really bad because I can't take it on school trips and enjoy it or anything because I am constantly worried about it dying and know I only have a limited amount of time. I can't enjoy it when I take it out. I have been playing handheld games all my life and own a Ds and a PSP and they both last way longer than this. They can last me two days with one charge. This thing is ridiculous; I should have gotten a Zune. Does your battery die as fast as mine, or could mines have a defect? Please speak from experience and don't tell me what it says on that Apple website because there is no way it lasts 36 hours. more

Voting Question: Poll: Who thinks TOUCH better than the ZUNE HD?

Zune HD is much better hands down, if your a music lover you would not even consider ipods as your option.Also Zune HD's sound quality is much better than ipod touch, its a proven fact, no questions asked, all other brands like cowon, samsung, sony excel in sound quality.Ipods are dead last on sound. Ipod touch hardware wise is just inferior, pc software is dead slow, and sound quality is bottom-dweller. And for the same price as Ipod Touch 8gb 3 gen you can get a Zune HD 16 that's double the capacity. Hence ipods can't even match price to storage. Whats funny is that there is no 16GB model for the new third gen ipods, Apple saw competition from Microsoft too much to bare so they decided to axe the 16 gb model. Games on Zune HD leave Ipods in the oblivion. Check out this game on Zune HD The Zune HD has Tegra processor hence its open for future potential, hardware would not limit adding new features. Zune team is working day n night to develop cool stuff for Zune HD. Apps Store will grow. Zune is the only MP3 player in the Market with HD radio technology. And the only Non-Ipod player to have App Support.It has the backing of Technology Giant Microsoft. The same people who are bringing you Project Natal, Surface Computers, and Microsoft Courier. Check them out on youtube. Microsoft Courier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmIgNfp-M… Project Natal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2qlHoxPi… The Zune PC Software is well organized and the lay out is an Eye Candy, its more stable and Syncs 10 faster than Itunes and never crashes like the itunes. Best of all Zune Software does the work for you it monitors new stuff for you, so you never have to Add it to the Library every time you have something New. The Music Interface on Zune Hd is unmatched, say your listening to AC/DC track, you can to go to artist page for it where you can see the artist bio, band pictures, All the albums ever produced, Related Artist, you get all this without ever connecting online, its basically stored on your device. My words Can't Do Justice to this Product. One of the many reasons that swayed my brother away from Itunes to Zune was Itunes song pricing system ever since 2009 they started charging $1.29 for new releases, and 99 cents for old releases. A dollar a song on itunes would run you out of money way before it runs out of space. Watching movies is a pleasant experience on Zune HD screen since its got an OLED display, which means Faster refresh rate and Better contrast and Greater brightness.My brother used to have a huge problem watching movies because his Ipod touch would show heavy ghosting and dark spot while watching movies, now he just loves watching movies on his ZuneHD. Zune HD has no Ghosting or Dark spots. Best of all I watch 4 to 5 Movies, complete movies on a single charge on my Zune HD.Battery life on Zune HD for Music Playback is 33 hours and 8.5 hours for Videos. In near future people will be buying OLED Display TVs like crazy. Ipod has those outdated LCD displays that other brands like Samsung , Cowon and Sony are all phasing out. List of Reason Why Zune HD stands out 1-Zune software that syncs with your zune device is 10 times faster than itunes. 2-Sync wirelessly with your device. 3-Itunes is not a better option if you own a PC since its slow and tends to crash alot. 4-Itunes store is also full of clutter 5- Connect with your Xbox 360. Ipod touch wont even connect with Xbox 360. 6-Zune HD has an OLED Display 7-HD video out 8-HD Radio ,based on where you live you can get extra Radio stations, HD Radio has CD quality sound. And if you like a song you can tag it and get it from Zune Marketplace. 9- It Weights lighter than the Ipod touch, its only 2.6 ounces whereas IPod touch is 4.1 ounces. 10- Nvidia Tegra Processor that supports 3D graphics. 11 All the Apps and Games are Free. 12. Charges .99 Cents for all releases whether New Or Old. Same Rate.No Extra charges like Itunes 13. Best Software for Collection Organization 14. Updates Are Always Free On Zune. Unlike Apple Likes to Charge $10 for Ipod Touch Updates Cons for having an Ipod touch 1 No Radio 2 No HD out 3 Music Quality Sucks monkey balls, 4 No OLED 5. No Tegra Processor 6. No PGR - Project Ghotham Racing 7. No Play Counts 8. No unlimited Subscription service 9. No wireless Sync 10 No 16GB model for the new third gen ipods 11. Crappy Battery Life 12. Itunes still syncs slow on PCs and crashes more often. 13.Duplicate Apps more

Resolved Question: How can I improve my iPod Touch Battery?

I have the 3G iPod Touch 32 gigs. My buddy has an iPod touch (3G; 64 gig) that lasts well over a day on 1 charge. I have to charge mine a couple of times a day. (i.e. On a full charge, I can only watch up to 6 or 7 hours of video, whereas he can watch over 9 hours.) He says that it's because when I first bought it I didn't charge it for a long time like I was supposed to. Apparently new electronics come partially pre-charged, but you have to charge them over night anyway.I only charged mine for a short time. Could this be the problem? Or do you think that there's another contributor? How can I increase my battery life? more

Resolved Question: Is my iPod nano 5th generation battery defective?

I just got a new iPod nano (16GB) and I read on the Apple website that the battery is supposed to last 24 hours for audio, and 5 hours for video. However, the battery seems to last quite a bit less than that. For example, I'll play one of the games on there for about ten minutes, and when I exit the game, already the battery icon will have 1 pixel gone. Also, the battery only seems to last about 9 hours or so when I'm listening to music (I haven't measured it exactly, though). Is lower battery life than what is advertised common for the 5th generation nano? Or does this mean that my battery is defective? Also, if I send my iPod back to Apple, and they find that the battery is in fact defective, will they just replace the battery, or will they have to send me a whole new iPod? more

Resolved Question: Is something wrong with the battery of my iPod Nano 5th Gen?

Okay, I just received an iPod Nano 5G (8gig) for Christmas and I'm extremely happy about it (my auntie from the UK gave it to me). However, I noticed that the battery life isn't that good. Just right now, I fully charged my iPod for about 3 hours then after that I tried to listen to about 4 songs and watched a 6 minute video then I noticed that the battery meter has been slashed already (a small amount only though but still...). And every now and then, the battery meter would go to full then decrease again. Ugh! The last time I played it (after 3-4 hours of playing songs), the battery meter went below 50% already. Based on the website, this iPod should last for about 24 hours or something. Am I the only one around here who is experiencing this type of problem? I can't possibly return this to the store because like I said, my auntie bought in the UK and I can't possibly go there just to replace my iPod. Lol. Please help me. Thanks. more

Voting Question: iPhone vs HTC Pure: considering switching?

So for christmas i got an htc pure, one of the newest windows phones. Initially i didn't want an iphone because i already had an ipod touch and didn't want to work on software that was so familiar. Also, the rest of the mobile phone companies have had 3 years to compete with the iphone and i thought there had to be something better out there. I like the htc pure, i just think the iphone still does more. The windows market place is new and a development in progress so it only has less than a fraction of the amount of apps in the app store. So how long until windows market place can compete with the app store? Although it is a windows phone and can download and install non-microsoft-published (.cab) applications from anywhere on the web. Another reason i want to switch to the iphone is the capacitive highly sensitive touch screen. I'm not impressed with the resistive screen keyboard on my htc pure at all. Its just so small and so hard to type out sentences without spelling errors. Also i'm not impressed with the media quality. Playing mp3s are ok, but going online and looking at youtube videos (which must be done through the browser) proved the video quality to be terrible. Also i just don't find my self needing the windows mobile essentials which it has over the iphone, like multi-tasking.. microsoft office.. ect. I'm also unhappy with the battery life on my htc pure. I feel like i can't waste any time on the internet browser, to save the battery. The iPhone 3GS claims to have longer battery life so theres another reason to switch. The only pro i see from keeping the htc pure is the 5.0mp camera. The still pictures have excellent quality. Basically the only con i see from switching is the camera. But some how i feel like the 'iPhone being the greatest smartphone' is from its sales statistics which is from its insane amount of marketing. But looking at my ipod touch, the browser, the apps, the features im looking for are overkill compared to my htc pure. So do you think i should switch to the iPhone from my windows phone? more

Resolved Question: iPod touch 2G vs iPod touch 3G?

I have never owned an iPod touch before, and I will be buying one in January, after New Years. I am faced with a problem though. Should i buy the 8GB 2nd gen, and save myself $100, or should i buy the 32 GB 3rd gen, with a faster processor, larger RAM, better performance and responsiveness and voice control? The 64GB is out of the question, as i have no use for that much space whatsoever and i do not plan to spend $400. 32GB is also at the far end of my budget, at $299. Even though it comes with so many new features, most importantly of course is the speed boost (i don't really need voice control) , the storage space is more than enough for me and i would rather not spend an extra $100 for a speed boost and higher storage option. However Apple also removed the extra battery life from the 2G, so that the 8GB does not have any advantage over the new iPod touches. Reading the reviews, i realize that the new iPod touch has a lot of potential, and that i might regret my decision of buying the 2G in the future. Which would you recommend? My music and video library on the whole is about 16GB, although excluding the videos that i don't often watch, my library amounts to about 5GB. more

Is there something wrong with my iPod's battery? I bought it yesterday and I did the whole charge for 3 hours thing.

Resolved Question: Which should I get, Archos 5 or Ipod touch(latest version)?

I can't decide what to get between the two. I've read up a little and both have pros and cons. For the archos i've read that you have to pay for the web browser. True? Also read that the archos has not so good battery life, but the archos will display the full web page and will play just about any video on the web. I basically want to browse the web at home and my email(WIFI) without have to run to my computer. Thanks for your help guys. more

Resolved Question: iPod Nano (<3) vs. iPod Touch?

Hey guys, how are we all? I have recently bought the iPod Shuffle and I'm wanting something . . bigger, better, nicer. Don't get me wrong, the Shuffle is cute - but I need the shizzle, haha. I looked at Apple's website and I saw the iPod Touch and iPod Nano and am having problems deciding which one to choose. I'm drawn towards the Nano as it has a video recorder (great as I'm going snowboarding abroad next year and plan on listening to the iPod when doing so) and a slicker, much tastier design. It's small, light and has a nice volume to it. This is where the nice things stop. Then I saw the beastly iPod Touch with everything upgraded and awesome. Longer battery life, more memory, great feel, it's just nice. To those with past experience on owning the recent models: iPod Touch or iPod Nano? Don't just say "TOUCH LOL CUZ IT HAS TUCH SCREEN :3" - I'm wanting specifics and why. Thanks in advance!Gosh, hahaha. You've made it even more balanced. :P Thanks for the replies! more

Voting Question: Best cheap laptop to buy?

I'm looking for a laptop for christmas & I'm a bit overwhelmed with the choice available - I don't know which one to get My budget is around £500 - but cheaper is better lol Preferably Intel dual core processor & Windows 7 (professional preferred, but it isn't a dealbreaker) Fairly fast/decent memory 15-16" screen, fairly good looking DVD-RW drive Integrated webcam & good sound preferred Wireless enabled Battery life isn't that important - 2-3 hours is enough At least 3 USB ports Playing games on it would be nice, but it's not necessary Extra warranty would be nice too Of course I'd like a laptop that won't fall apart on me as soon as I get it - I'm looking for it to last about 2-3 years On the laptop I'll mainly be on the internet, watching videos/dvds, playing music, using microsoft office (word, excel etc.), connecting devices (ipod, phone ect.) No preferred brands really, but I've heard bad things about acer (my uncle's is forever breaking, too) Not keen on dell either and definitely not a fujitsu Any other brand is fine, as long as it's got what I need I'd like the best laptop available for price (ie. if there's a hp and packard bell at the same price but one has better features, assuming they both work equally as good, then I'd obviously want the one with better features) Any recommendations on the best brand, best laptop within the brand, where to buy the laptop from is much appreciated Thank you :) more

Resolved Question: I need help finding the right cell phone for me?

I need a phone that uses a sim card. I really only use my phone for texting, a lot of texting, as well as a decent amount of calling, but thats about it cux i dont have a data plan and i do have an ipod touch for everything else. I want a phone with a good camera, thats fairly important, preferably 5 megapixels or more, but not necessarily. Must have a keypad/keyboard of some kind because i need something tactile to touch text in school (if its a touchscreen it a slide-out keyboard or keypad thats fine). Battery life that last two days atleast (including texting and calling and what not) is preferable, one day is absolute minimum. I have the z3 rizr right now, so id like it to be fairly slim, i dont want to go too much bigger that the rizr but im flexible on that if need be. id like it to be kinda unique, but thats just an added perk if it is, im not that picky about it i guess. i used to have a nokia with a big, wonderfully colorful display and i really liked that so if that can be added thats a HUGE plus. the rizr is kinda a slow texter (laggy) so i would like to get away from that but i guess thats hard to know until you own it. must have speaker phone. must have video recording (going along with the good camera idea i'd like high quality video recording if possible). Thanks so much for your help. I promise a 5 star if you can find a phone/phones i really like. oh and it has to be resonably affordable... although once i find the phone i want i can find deals on it on my own. for right now id say keep retail under $225 but if you find something over that that is good include it anyway. thanks again. more

I'm trying to decide which mp3 player I should get. What is your opinion on these? They are in order from least to most expensive. Thank you!
