6233 - Power Saver not working
Hi
I've just upgraded to the 6233. Most things seem to be fine apart from the fact that the power save function doesn't seem to work.
I have turned power save on, but when I leave the phone alone for a while all it does is dim the screen. I don't get the normal blank screen with just the clock on it.
Any suggestions?
Hello
I noticed exactly the same problem: Some times the screensaver (not animated) would come on, followed by a completely blank screen - this is what I want to see. Other times, the screensaver would not come on and the screen would not blank out (only the backlight switches off), resulting in quicker battery draining. The only way that I could find so far to work around this problem is to reboot the phone.
I have firmware version 3.70 and will upgrade to 4.52 later today. I really like this phone in terms of build quality and general features, and imho it would be a real winner if these little niggly problems are sorted out.
Regards

Hi I want help with my issue that i tried to power off my usb hub so that it turn power off during standby mode on battery but it wont work i have enabled the option that allow the copmputer to turn device to save power in the device manager and it wont work and check in the power option advanced setting usb selective suspend setting i have tried both enabled and disabled it wont work even that my wirelless mouse and keyboard that connected to the hub i disabled the option allow that device to wake up pc and the usb still powering on battery which drain the battery if i have cooling fan and else i need your help and i appreciate it
with regardsOn some laptops there is one usb port that stays powered on even in Standby. This is convenient at times for charging a device such as smartphone,etc without having machine booted up. Have you checked another usb port with the hub?

Any ideas? how long is warranty?The standard warranty is one-year. Yu can purchase, before the one-year is up and additional year. Yu can check your coverage here:

Power button not working with 7.1 update
Power button not working with 7.1 update
I take it your phone was still under warranty then?!
Unfortunately I was not so lucky, and my experience was rather poor service-wise. They're called Apple Geniuses but I beg to differ...
I'm not sure where in the world you are located, but my "experience" involved visiting the Leeds store and confusing everyone with this issue. I can tell you, just by the looks on their faces, they had never been faced with this problem before!
I suggested my phone was rolled back to the version it was previously to establish whether this was the underlying issue. I was asked whether my phone had been backed up and as it had the "genius" proceeded to restore the phone "as it came out of the factory" to quote him.
When this was completed the phone was still doing the same thing and I was advised "the software update must have highlighted a hardware issue." I was told it would have to be physically repaired and was told to have this done by a third party as Apple would charge approximately £160. Incidentally, I work in IT and repair PC's, laptops and mobile devices for a living and made a point of raising that a sleep/wake button ribbon cable for an iPhone 4S can be bought on eBay for as little as £3.00...if indeed it does need replacing, which I suspect it does not.
Anyway, so now I was left with a phone for the rest of the day which was blank and still the problem remained. On the train, on the way home, you can then imagine my disbelief when I actually took the time to look at my phone's configuration and realised that iOS version 7.1 was still installed, so obviously the issue would still remain. So the visit to the "genius bar" was a complete waste of time as I'm still in the very same position, and I still blame the 7.1 update for this...let's home 7.2 is released very shortly and this solves the issue...
I have downloaded the package to roll the version back to 7.0 but I'm a little reluctant to carry this out yet as I would expect Apple to so the issue they have caused. This is NOT hardware related but software.
I seriously think Android is calling me... -

Hi everybody!
Today, I changed the fan in my Pavilion dv6-6001eh (the original stop working). After I assembly, the power led not working anymore. I check the cable, but that's ok. Otherwise the power button working. The second power led in the right side next to USB, also not working.
Why? Maybe pressed hotkey?
Thank you.Any advice?

HT1688 Power button not working
Power button not working on iPhone 5
This is a defect on iPhone 5 power button that wears out in about 13-14 months of usage just after you go out of warranty. Apple is aware of this issue but chooses not to accept this as a defect. I asked the Genius bar guy and they told me this is a common case recently and costs $269 to replace your phone. There is no repair option. I am very mad and believe Apple needs to take action or will lose their customers. All iPhone 5 owners that I know started having this problem in the month of 13 -14.
I believe if the numbers go high, Apple may start a recall program. Please encourage anyone with this problem to post here. $700 phone should not wear out this soon. Apparently the part is defective on almost all iPhone 5 devices.

Tecra M5 - Toshiba Power Saver not doing its job properly
Hi,
After looking for some time for a tool to silence my Tecra M5 I found a seemingly nice app called Toshiba Power Saver. Unfortunately this tool doesn't seem to be working properly. I played with the [Cooling Method slider|http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8008/powersaver.jpg] (click to see an image) and here is how it works.
The Cooling Method can be set to one of four options: Battery Optimized, Performance, Maximum Performance, and Cooling Optimized, where the first one is supposed to be the quietest, and the other ones more and more noisy.
Let's assume that the cpu fan is initially spinning at a high speed and I'm not doing anything on my laptop. I move the slider to Battery Optimized setting, click on Apply and the fan (instantaneously) slows down (yay!). Then I need to do something power hungry for a moment and eventually the fan spins up to the noisy level. I then do nothing at all again but the fan stays like that *forever*. The cpu is as cold as ice, the air being blown out could freeze your fingers, but the fan is spinning like crazy waking up my neighbours across the road.
Am I really sure the cpu is cool? Yes. Why?
Because when I move the slider to Performance setting now and click Apply the fan slows down (right away) and stays like that until I start working on something again. Then I stop doing what I was doing and the fan keeps spinning *forever* again.
So then I change the Cooling Method to Battery Optimized setting back again, click on Apply and the fan slows down.... and so on and so on, stuck in the vicious circle.
The key to the success here is keeping pressing the Apply button, which the Power Saver application should be doing from time to time and not me, and not forgetting what it's here for.
What's wrong with that app? Is there any fix available (or an alternative)?
The version I have is 7.11 and runs under XP Pro SP3.Hi Feliks,
Thank you for your reply. I have a Tecra M5 notebook not a Portege, though.
Unfortunately I cannot agree with most of what you have said. Either there is something wrong or this software is just useless. It is quite unlikely that there is something wrong as I had exactly the same laptop before and it was as noisy. That to me would be too much of a coincidence.
Before then I had a dual core notebook with Philips sticker on it (and that was all Philips's input) in even smaller enclosure (12") and no fancy software in it. In that laptop the fan was running once every several minutes while idle and as soon as it cooled down the cpu it stopped - a complete silence. And this is how it should be. I've just read a review of one HP laptop: "During normal use I almost never hear the hard drive or the fan. In fact the fan really only comes on when playing games." I'd like mine to be like that too.
Here I play music in Winamp at the processor speed set to 1 (out of 6, lower means slower) and cooling set to a quiet setting (after help: "The system is cooled by slowing CPU speed, and the fan is started only when neccesary."), and after the fan starts it then never (I don't exaggerate here) stops spinning and eventually keeps blowing out cool air. The CPU usage varies between 0 and 5%. I mean, that's not normal to me. My phone can do the same job and it doesn't have a fan at all. Not to mention that Intel CPUs will not let themselve get fried. So why?
I sold the mentioned Philips laptop to move on to some decent brand and I am *very* disappointed. It's a shame, as this particualar model would be perfect for me, I like everything about it, but the noise is just unbearable, it's embarassing to take this machine to a library. And the software... well, I will stop here and wait for some other Tecra M5 users to share their experience.
In the meantime I'll try with Toshiba support, as you advised.
Thanks! -
I was having trouble with my Power Management settings not working. When running on the Power Adapter, my computer would stay awake with the screen on indefinitely, and when running on the Battery, it would shut off the screen after 1 minute and sleep after 5 minutes. The problem showed up when I would change the sliders in the Energy Saver window only to watch them go right back where they were after about 10 seconds. Obviously the lock was unlocked, but I was unable to change the settings no matter what I tried.
The solution came when I checked the Power Management preferences file located in the pref file at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
I brought up the information for the plist file and noticed that under Sharing & Permissions the Admin account was missing. I added Administrators to the permissions list and voila! The Energy Management panel began working again!
Problem solved and I hope this helps anyone else out there as I seemed to be the only one having this problem.Hey Chad - Thanks for this tip - I checked in both my user library and the system library and couldn't find either the plist doc or the System Configuration folder. I'm having trouble with energy saver since the latest OS X update and wondering if they've blitzed it somehow!
Any ideas?

Screensaver/power saver not functioning...
I've noticed recently that my screensaver/power saver is not staying on. It will go into power saver mode and immediately come out of it without me or anyone else pressing a keyboard button or moving the mouse. I thought this might be a keyboard malfunction, so I powered off the keyboard. This worked for a while, but then the power saver went off again; this time, since the keyboard was off, the bluetooth function was searching for a keyboard. I'm guessing this whole issue is somehow related to the keyboard. Anyone with any advice on how to proceed?
I have been having similar issues with the power button on my powerbook as well. When I press the power button (or any of the function keys) I get a blue screen for a few seconds and all open applications quit running. Nothing works when I use the apple drop down menu either.
Have you been able to solve the problem yet? If so, please post your advice. Do you think it is a short, or maybe an overheating problem?

Hey Smart Apples,
My iTunes Artwork screen saver is not working. After reboot, then selecting iTunes Artwork in System Preferences, just a black screen appears in the preview, as well as when pressing Test, and when allowing the screen saver to start on it's own. The error message in Console says...

The memory address location at the end of each line is different everytime I preview the screen saver.
I've tried...
deleting ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.* files
making sure each album has a cover in iTunes
running Get Album Artwork in iTunes
recreating symbolic link ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music -> ~/Public/iTunes Music/
... but doesn't help.
All other screen savers work... my usual is Flurry, and it works too, but gives invalid framebuffer operation under Console.
Nothing running/checked under Sharing.

Does anyone have a solution?
Environment: Mac OS X (10.7.2), Macbook Pro (late 2008)So it turned out that the cause of the problem wasn't as complicated as I thought...
I had a few songs that were not added to the iTunes library, instead referenced from other locations on my hard drive.
Specifically, if you bring up the Get Info window of a song, under Summary > Where, it may show a different path than your usual iTunes Media folder location, set under Preferences.
E.g. Where: ~/Desktop/downloaded_song.mp3
I guess, this happens when you drag a song into your iTunes instead of adding it to the library, and apparently, causes problems with the Artwork Screen Saver.
Solution:
To correct it,
For those songs, go to File > Add to Library...
Then find and select the song file.
That's all I had to do to get the screen saver working... All your songs have to be added to your iTunes Library.
I think my brother was messing around with my playlist... I hope Apple nails a better way to lock-unlock/secure OS X soon (proximity sensor, biometric 3D face recognition, unique voice recognition, soul recognition, etc.).
That malloc error message still shows up; that must be an unrelated issue with the screen saver.
I hope this helps out all those suffering through the same issue with their iTunes Artwork Screen Saver. -
Power button not working like it should...
When booting up, I have to press power button several times. Finally, when it does come on (Pavilion dv6Notebook), the fan runs quite a bit. I am worried my hard drive is about to go. Any tips?
Try a soft reset and see what happens.
If the power button is not working, here is a link for a program that remaps the power button on your TX so you can hard reset and power off.
There is a program called PowerBtn 2.0. This allows you to turn off the device when the power button does not work. (Thanks to Computerwiz for the info.)

Screen saver not working in KDE 4.6
I can't seem to get my screen saver to work on my netbook running KDE 4.6.1, I have tried removing all the the user settings for KDE and starting with fresh configs but that did solve the issue. I can go into the System Settings and test the screen savers, in which case they work there, but it does not come on when the system times out, I have it set to five minutes. Could this be caused by a missing package or something needed for the screen saver to work?
