XPS 13 - Wake from sleep using USB works, but not when lid closed?

I mainly use my XPS 13 as a desktop replacement - I have the lid closed; monitor and a keyboard, a mouse connected (both wireless).

I finally managed to get to wake up from its sleep by moving the mouse by activating 'allow this device to wake the computer from sleep mode' in the device (Win 7 64 bit) Manager, but it does nothing when the lid is closed, which is 99% of the time because I am using a monitor. I have to open the lid and use the power button.

Does anyone have an idea on how to get this working, or not at all?

It works fine on my other laptop Dell I bought at the same time (Inspiron 15). One is connected to a TV as a "Media Server", if the lid is also closed all the time, but he wakes up from his sleep when I move the mouse USB wireless.

OK, it's now solved!

The A08 BIOS update allows this, BUT the strange thing is that sometimes the option ' USB wake sleep ' is not available after a BIOS flash.

This time, it was and now I can wake up the laptop from sleep, even with the mouse Wireless USB via a hub!

Yay!

  • Little something that used to work, but not now?

    Hiya,

    Years in Dreamweaver 8, I made this page: http://deepwater3d.Kol.co.nz

    Now if you resize the window, you will see the image will resize accordingly, well it does not stretch, it won't get cut, it retains its proportions regardless of what screen size you view it from.

    I did that by the size of the width of the image = 100%, height = width\4 * 3

    But today, using the same version of dreamweaver it won't let me enter these values by saying that its not valid.

    How is that possible? I did exactly this years and lol it works very well on the internet? It will not work with forwardslashes or oblique... What can I do to force the height dependent on the width, so I keep my proportions of the image?

    Thank you

    The HTML code you added years ago is as invalid as it is today.  DW is today much more stringent while allowing you to perform these corruptions.

    Try to remove the specification of the total height.  Who will be resize the image and maintain proportions.

  • Comments from colleague (using iPad app) showing not when sent me

    A colleague said comments (reminder) to PDF using the Adobe Reader app for iPad. He also drew on the PDF notes. When he sent me the file, I could see the image of the comments but could not click to see content. When I click the comments toolbar, it indicates "No comment in this document." Show the notes that have been drawn with a pen. I tried to visualize this file with Acrobat Pro DC on a PC and using the Adobe Reader app on an iPad. It's the same problem on both platforms. Is it possible for me to see these comments? Or my colleague send the file in a way that allows me to view comments?

    I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like to see the image of comment, but the toolbar tells me that there is no comment in the document. There's probably 75 to 100 comments overall, and I just want to be able to read the content within each of them.

    No idea or help that you can offer would be much appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Comments not appearing.png

    It is a comment 'flattened' in the PDF file.  In Acrobat, it could have been made using the tool controls upstream, save as optimized, or via the method JS "this.flattenPages ()";.  One of these processes basically destroyed the annotation and there is content, leaving only this is a graphic representation.

  • I get error messages when I try to visit some Web sites you use Mozilla Firefox, but not when I use other browsers

    About two days ago, I noticed that when I tried to access some websites using Firefox, I always got this error message. "The connection was reset". Initially, I thought it was a problem with my ISP before noticing that the network was fine on my phone and the iPad. I tried and then open the same links which brought up the error message on the TorBrowser and it worked perfectly.

    Basically, the only site that works right now on my Firefox browser is Google but if I do a Google search and then click on any link that appears so I get the same error message, "the connection was reset". I can also connect to my gmail account, but I can't access any other Web site including Feedly, Tumblr, Twitter, Yahoo, Wordpress, Blogspot, even though they work fine on my other browser.

    I have cleared my cache and cookies, wiped out all browsing history, but the problem persists then I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox and reinstalled. The problem is still there. I checked the proxy settings, I went through all the solutions on this page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can?esab=a & as = aaq and still nothing. I'm not sure what the problem is here, but any solution will be appreciated. I have used Firefox for years and I'm really not comfortable using a different browser.

    I use a Macbook OS X Version 10.9.4 and the last Firefox 32.0.1

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See creating a profile:

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem

  • Why do I get a warning about a site, when I tried to access it from an e-mail link, but not when I accessed from a search engine?

    I clicked on this link from an email - https://www.lmsvc.com/job - and got the message "untrusted connection".

    When I went on the site search (research done with my safe search) and clicked on the link on this page, he went straight to the site without warning.

    I don't understand why i got the message only once, from the email link.
    

    The connection to the Web site isn't perhaps a trust. This is because Firefox believes that maybe it's not safe and someone might listen. If you believe that it is safe and it seems safe, so don't worry. When he says no reliable it does not mean that the site is automatically malicious, it's just Firefox does not trust the site.

  • (Redirected) XPS 13 Ultrabook wake from sleep!

    Hello!

    I have a Dell XPS 13 ultrabook I love, apart from a major problem. I can't seem to wake from sleep using the keyboard or the mouse. I never had this experience with a laptop before.  It is a pretty big problem, I use the XPS 13 has docked at the D3100 docking station and connected to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse.  I keep the laptop with the screen closed and just use the external Setup - as you usually would when it is docked. Everything is fine until the device goes to sleep. If the computer is still on, but just the external monitor is turned off because the power settings, and then moving the mouse/hit the keyboard to wake the rear monitor. However, if the computer is idle (NOT put in hibernation), it nothing happens when I move the mouse or repeatedly hit the keyboard. I need to get out the ultrabook the cubby that's in, open, hit the power button, then close and replace. He gets the computer turns on again, but is incredibly annoying. As a side effect of this, all my windows get resized and my icons moved the Office because the latop temporarily switches to the built-in screen (which is at a resolution lower than my external monitor) before returning to the external display. I had the Latitude laptop for years without any problems and was disappointed with this experience. I really hope that there is some sort of fix.

    So far I have tried:

    1. connect the receiver of keyboard/mouse wireless in all USB ports on the ultrabook itself and also the dock of the D3100. No difference is made.

    2. try with a wired keyboard and wireless. No difference is made.

    3 tent to shoot to the top of the mouse/keyboard power management settings in device management and ensure "Allow device to wake the computer" is checked. Not possible, "Power management" tab appears now available in Windows 10 in the device properties window.

    Help, please!

  • HP3070 analysis via the USB port, but don't scan the network, printing is ok? Used to work, but no more

    MyHP3070 deskjet will scan and print via USB link, but don't scan the network, printing is authorized via netowrk. Used to work but not anymor. I have windows XP laptop. I tried HP doctor but in vain. It says that it cannot connect with the driver. Tried to uninstall and reinstall from the CD and also downloaded driver via HP web page but does not. Any ideas what to try next? Also have Norton 360 software virsus and tried extinction of firewalls, etc., but it doesn't seem to help. What is confusing, is that it is used to work but now is intermittened, it won't work at all.

    I managed to uninstall with REVO Uninstaller. This removed the driver original from the Add/REMOVE program possibly a result.  This then allowed me to install the driver that you recommended to your link above. I ran out of time yesterday to test if the printer has worked with the new download, so I'll have to try again later today to see if it works. I would grab with result.

  • Inspiron 7353 (13 7000 Special Edition) slow to wake from sleep

    Hi all - small question. I have a special edition of the Inspiron 13 7000. So far, I like it. The only nit I have with him is that frequently, when waking from sleep - even if I have just the lid closed for 5 minutes - it takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute to wake up from its sleep.

    It's quite annoying and if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

  • Fallout 3 stops working after the computer wakes from sleep

    Since the games for Windows Live 3 is out, Fallout 3 has never been the same. He used to work at best my GfWL and now her nightmare. Recently, after that I quit the game and put my computer to sleep, Fallout 3 will stop working completely after wake up. I try to start it and I get them all is a cursor with a small blue rotating light. What is even more strange, is that my computer goes into a State of semi who no longer meet this point where programs and keyboard shortcuts no longer work, but I can browse my hard drive. I try control + SHIFT + ESC to see what the devil but that causes Windows Explorer to stop working. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work either. No matter what I try, once I start Fallout 3 after the computer wakes from sleep, I can't do the task to the top manager and I can't use my computer. The only way to get it is to hit the reset button or turn off manually. Can someone please help to get rid of this problem?

    Hi murphy449,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. the problem only happens when you start fallout 3 after the sleep mode?

    3. are you able to wake the computer quits successfully sleep mode?

    4. What is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you manually download and install the latest drivers for display on the computer card and check if it works.

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that you try the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    If the previous step fails then I suggest you check the observer after return with details and events for the cause.

  • Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Scenario is,

    1. smart card reader is connected to the VM with card inserted in

    2 initiate a prompt suspension of the VM toolbar

    3. now to resume the virtual machine by using vmrun command into the host machine

    WS t vmrun start xxx.vmx

    Now, the recovery of VM but the smart card reader that was previously connected does not work properly in VM that is to say, sometimes after CV chip card reader driver is uninstalling and a few other times, chip connected to the drive is not available on a virtual computer

    My requirement is after power, smart card reader can stay connected to the virtual computer with the already installed driver and the smart card.

    Kindly help with this problem.

    Host operating system: Victoire 2012 R2

    The VM OS: win 10 x 64

    Thank you!!

    Dear all,

    I had a work around for this problem. By adding "usb.autoConnect.device0 ="0xVID:0xPID"" this statement to the VMX file, solves this problem, that is, whenever the VM is wake-up by clicking on the link CV or using vmrun commands, it connects the unit in question automatically and it is charging correctly with his driver. Obtaining smart card detected after sleep\hibernate with no problems.

    VID & PID is respective ID of the device that can be seen in the properties of the Device Manager "Device Instance path".

  • How can I PREVENT Time Machine back on the wake from sleep?

    I leave my machine on the work week and when I finished the night, I SLEEP there.

    In the morning, he has no need to backup first thing. But Time Machine insists on execution from the moment I have a mouse and he wakes up from his sleep.

    It was fine when it was new and fast, but now he is old and slow (especially - but mostly because I really push to the limit with multiple Safari Windows opens and executes a large number of software design at the same time, I have to do for work).

    My question is simple:
    How to tell Time Machine to does not have a return on the wake from sleep? or;
    Say this do not back up from 06:00 to noon? or;
    Is it a third party plug in that allows me to customize the time Machine more?

    Another idea on what just said or it to no return for even the first hour or two when it comes in the morning or even in any time to sleep during the day. Automatically.

    I also have my drive main external file mirroring AND use Super Duper once per day to fool the internal drive (I total plan control) AND back up all files off site (I total plan control). But, Time Machine is also always at hand to get it done. If only I had a little control over it, so she did not have the necessary step back up the minute I sit down. Significantly slow down my work time productive morning!

    Time Machine really shouldn't bog down your machine that badly.

    If Time machine running interferes with your ability to use the machine, then something else is wrong. It shouldn't affect performance in this way.

    If it's all just "annoying"... Well... Why is this a big deal?

    Maybe you should run a report Etrecheck and post the results here. If something is moving your system, which can help us identify what it is.

  • Satellite U500 - may not wake from sleep

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite U500 laptop win7 64 bit and my system may not wake from sleep mode.
    "Standby mode" when I press the power button or any key of the keypad power led lights up but the screen stays black and the system is unusable.

    Any help?

    Have you noticed this problem in the first moments after upgrade to Win7?
    I assume that you made a mistake with Vista?

    Have you noticed the same behavior when you use hibernation mode?

    Hello

    Are you sure that you set the laptop on STANDBY mode and not in HIBERNATION mode?

  • eHome IR transmitter fails to wake from sleep

    How can I get the IR transmitter to continue functioning when the computer wakes from sleep?

    first thing to do is to try a system restore to the last time it worked.
