Power Manager BUG?

Hi people;

I have a x130e on Windows 7 (x 64) with Power Manager installed 6.68.8 with the Lenovo Power Management driver (from the same package).

What I see is that the always on function USB does not work. It is enabled in the BIOS and enabled in the power management.

But, on the way of troubleshooting, I noticed something about the power management program and wonder if there is a bug.

If I go in the global settings of power and enable always on USB but that also, even when the computer is off, then click on apply, check marks remain. However, as soon as I shut off Power Manager and then re - start, the check marks are gone. They disappear.

The same thing happens with the beep when power state changes button. Even if, with this one, it looks like the feature rest after restarting the App (I can hear it).

I guess you can imagine that the always on USB troubleshooting feature made much more difficult when the Soft Power Manager seems to lose the settings after you close the program.

A confirmation or ideas would be appreciated. I uninstalled the program and re-installed and rebooted the computer - same thing.

UPDATE > I went all the way back to version 6.38 and I see the same behavior - the settings are not enabled between sessions of Power Manager.

Nevermind, I solved the problem by removing the Power Manager software...

Not the greatest witness, it's course...

  • BUG: Power Manager 3.64 stops working and won't uninstall

    Gravity; High

    This has now happened twice in the past days.

    The first time it corrupted my system to the point that I had to reinstall Windows.

    The second time I have used the Startup Repair to return to a Point of recent restoration successfully.

    I then removed and reinstalled Power Manager 3.64, which seems to be OK now (knock wood).

    Nevertheless, it's a serious problem that must be quickly addressed and corrected!

    It happened twice, it is that I got an error message that 'Power Manager has stopped working".

    He offered to check if a new version is available to solve the problem, but it was not.

    Both times the Power Manager on the taskbar battery indicator was an empty white outline.

    Both times I tried to uninstall the power manager, but the Uninstall suspended indefinitely to 94%.

    The only way that I could regain control of the system was with forced stop,

    but which leads to corruption of Windows where crash bluescreen when starting.

    Windows and Lenovo Patch logs events the most recent crash are attached.

    Hope that helps.

    UPDATE: just crushed ("stopped working") new! This time I just rebooted, and it works again,

    but this problem still needs to be fixed as soon as POSSIBLE!


  • Bug report: Power Manager causes performance slowed after resume from hibernation

    I use Windows 7 and several versions of the power manager, including the last 6.63.1 of a 220 X.

    If I Hibernate the computer, when I'm back, everything is very slow. For example, it takes several seconds for a page to display after clicking a tab in Chrome, but it's just an example, almost everything is unresponsive. This happens for about 5-10 min, but eventually everything will work normally. It seems to be related to the use of high page files. More I wait to take over after the hibernation, the biggest problem seems to be taking.

    The deactivation of the service to be able to eat has not corrected the problem, but after uninstalling the power manager, the problem will disappear completely.

    I've seen several reports of that of others. This person, it connects to Power Manager, but does not give many details.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-performance/unresponsive-after-resume-fro...

    This person is also connected Power Manager, but gives a description of how he did, which can be useful for you.

    http://asqueella.blogspot.com/2012/07/Windows-7-resuming-from-hibernation-is.html

    I have reinstalled Power Manager, because the computer is unusable after hibernation. I love the program, however, so it would be nice if you can solve this problem.

    Best wishes

    Justin

    Justin_KM,

    I have discussed this with the Power Manager team and they think that this problem can occur because of a feature called Fast Hibernation summary power manager.  The idea is that Power Manager will page out most application on the drive memory before hibernation.  Then the hibernation file will be as small as possible, resulting in a faster recovery time.  But I guess it can cause this side effect, you found if several applications are page in a lot of memory, disk, after sleep.  Then you would end up with the use of the disc heavy and slow application performance, until finally the memory is restored from pagefile.

    Anyway, if you want to retry Power Manager, please install the latest version and then apply this reg file to disable the feature that we believe that your problem is initially:

    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/u/62276273/DisableFastHibernationResume.reg

    Restart after applying the reg file.  This assumes that you are running 64-bit Windows.  If you are running 32-bit Windows, let me know and I'll give you a different reg file.

  • Satellite A200 + Vista Ultimate - power management does not work

    No matter what I apply to the power management settings of the screen never goes and the PC never sleep or standby extended. Screen saver does not either - except once - yesterday, for the first time since I bought the PC in August. Has not yet done.

    I assumed that this is a bug in Vista. "Tech Guy" PC World (ha ha) cannot repair. Is it at the level of the BIOS or something else? Of course, there is an incompatibility between the OS and the hardware. Video chipset? If you choose a balanced power management, the screen slightly off if you take out the power cord, but that's all that happens. Power management is all set to default.

    It's exhausting, because whenever I want to leave the PC for a while, I have to put it to sleep manually.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thank you

    Peter

    Hello Peter

    First of all are the guys responsible for tech updates? They must offer that you support for the hardware you have and clarify also all problems, if you use a preinstalled recovery media.

    Upgrade is your decision, and it is possible that it may have some negative influence on the functionality of the OS. All this is quite complex. As you know Vista has own power management options. Toshiba install PVAT (ValueAddedPackage) and after doing this there are some additional settings.

    The question is: How did you get the OS upgrade? Did you do a clean install? Have you installed all the stuff from the download page of Toshiba including VAP?

    With other words: all the basic settings on energy consumption are defined in the BIOS. AFAIK in Vista is the management of clean energy implemented and Toshiba installed just a plugin. If these rudimentary BIOS settings are not changed, I guess everything works fine. Change the settings of the BIOS with an update, I can imagine that different settings will not work correctly.

    Hmm, that's really not easy to say what you can do. Maybe check for the last update of the BIOS and after doing that it is trying to put the clean install of Vista Ultimate. And, of course, you must install all the stuff from Toshiba following the document of instructions for installations.

  • Percentage usage of CPU Power Manager

    I have a new T430s running the most recent Power Manager.

  • Power management & random question sleep/put into hibernation

    Hello people!

    First of all, I'm an administrator COMPUTER experienced, and I've owned 6 Thinkpads over the years... the machine in question is today a Thinkpad W530 (K1000M, 16 GB RAM, 240 GB SSD Intel, Windows 7 x 64, latest drivers and BIOS).

    I had a weird problem where out of no where, and while on battery, the computer will go to the default mode ' uh oh, battery runs out, record everything! Aka, if Hibernate is enabled, the computer will be in hibernation. If I disable Hibernate in Windows, then the computer go to sleep. So the problem is same, and for other symptoms can present as "hibernate without warning" instead of "sleep without warning.

    In any case, this occurs sporadically and often at times that bothers. The first few times, I didn't know what has increased, but I looked into it a little further now.

    Immediately after this forced sporadic "sleep" / "hibernate" happens, I checked the event log:

    "

    The system to sleep.

    Reason to sleep: battery

    "

    Now, obviously, this is no good. I was a little confused the first time I saw that as the power manager, or the built-in Windows gauge showed low battery. And after that I take for sleep/hibernate mode, the battery is still fine.

    Today, however, I only found a major clue. This time, instead of simply jumping to a sleep/hibernate event, I got a low battery critical Windows popup warning first, and looking at the Windows battery meter was shown left 7%, even if Lenovo Power Manager gauge showed a little more than 50% left. Almost immediately after, he does it is sleep and I wake him up once again, and of course, as always, the battery level returns to normal.

    If long story short, it's a pretty serious battery level report bug somewhere in the drivers of power? Or is it a bad battery? (And if that were the case, why only Windows reports the State of the intermittent dangerously low battery, Lenovo Power Manager no?)

    Just curious for some feedback, otherwise, I'll have to start RMAing parts, or even the entire machine. Of course, having Windows sometimes think that the battery is not about to die is not acceptable. Imagine if I was doing something critical and decides the computer "uh oh, battery low time.» close it as soon as possible! ».

    Yes. Define your event of critical battery doing nothing. It is a workaround, but it is not too bad workaround.

  • Utility power management Portege A100 has stopped working

    The power management utility has stopped working and when I try to save the profile of Laptop/portable power management screen control panel I get a message saying that the power cannot be defined as two revision levels are incompatible.

  • Canvio Connect II power management

    I have a Canvio Connect II 3 TB drive and I'm annoyed by the fact he's going into a deep sleep after a few minutes of inactivity, and it takes a lot to wake up to the top. This is my first Toshiba, all my other WD drives drive (Toshiba was the first to release a 3 TB portable 2.5 in car at a decent price), and I have never such a a problem with them, they all last much longer long to fall asleep and wake up much more quickly.

    Is it possible to change the settings of this player power management? Preferably something Toshiba itself? Everything I could find on the web are unacceptable "corrections" that writing something on the disc every 4 minutes so he wants to stay or things like that. I would like to have a proper fix. And nothing ever Toshiba, not even an acknowledgement of the problem, which they seem to continue for at least 5 years already.

    If this isn't the case, someone knows how can I contact Toshiba support by email? The only option I found on the Web from Toshiba sites is to contact by phone, there is no other methods (such as email or a contact form), which looks very suspicious. I have only seen this sort of behavior with fake Asian companies ' selling ' good products at half price, but actually take your money and disappear. All serious manufacturers should offer several contact options. Although I bought my drive from UK, I do not live in the United Kingdom, and I don't want to spend money on international calls with support from Toshiba to only be thrown from one person to another and probably never received real support.

    I am very unhappy with this situation, and if it is is not resolved, it will be the only player Toshiba I'll never own, I'll stick to what I know, works very well in the future.

    Hi, same problem here with my two hard Toshiba USB drives (Stor.e Canvio 3.5 "Desktop, 2 TB + 4 to). I searched all over the internet, came to exactly the same conclusion as you: many 'solutions' with third party software which works only during the session or on the same system, so the same problem could reappear as soon as you connect your HD to a different device, re-install the operating system or whatever. Here is a quote from another thread in this forum that says it all:

    Posted by amk316
    This is email support form

    ********
    Thank you for your recent inquiry to the subject of your hard drive Toshiba Canvio.

    We can confirm that there is no firmware downloads available for Toshiba external hard drives. (Energy saving) nature of use of the disc is because of the way it was built. Therefore, we can confirm that it is not editable.
    **********

    all better than toshiba support can solve this problem

    Post edited by: amk316

    Thus, it seems that Toshiba support won't help. I doubt that the problem is really "because of the way it was built', i.e.: caused by the material itself. or at least, I doubt that, even if that's the case, it can't be fixed by providing a new firmware. I guess that Toshiba DOES simply not invest time and money to solve the problem. Accordingly, like you, I never by a hard Toshiba will lead again if they don't change this attitude. Good luck anyway!

  • Overheating and crash on the A60 - 122 power management

    Sorry for the bad English - my native language is Russian.
    I have a few problems:

    #1 when I run any graphical application lasts (as any games full screen)-I get a trouble - front near the screen becomes very hot - I think it's a video card problem, because I saw this sentence only at games or use Photoshop. How can I solve this? Have Satellite A60 - 122 functions q - fan (like ASUS motherboards) and how do I access it?

    Utility power management #2 - hangs at each performance of the OS and crashes when you try to uninstall.
    What can recommend you on these issues?

    Thanks for all the answers.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    #1 with this number you can do anything. If it's really hot, you can call service toshiba partner and ask if it would be useful to analyze the material.

    #2 you tried to install the new management tool of power 'on' non-functional existing power management. It may be that the new installation fix the existing!

  • Need a Windows XP Pro SP2 power management utility

    Hello, recently I lowered my (preinstalled) HP 6820 s Vista Home to XP Pro SP2, to learn that XP isn't this nice power management utility that offered three options, for example, energy saving, optimized Mode, High Performance. So I'm currently looking for other freeware that need solutions, as it appears, that there is no official management utility XP of HP. I missed something, is there an official utility for XP and if it is not all the utilities, someone know any (preferably freeware) solutions to create profiles of power?
