A1 power comsumption question

Running android 4.0.4, with flight mode on, wifi always on, and bluetooth off.
I turned it on 3 hours ago after a full charge. I did not use it, so it has been in standby mode for 3 hours.
Now when I look at the battery info, the power comsumption in the past 3 hours is as follows:
-. 82% cell standby
-. 8% android OS
-. 5% wifi
-. 4% tablet idle
-. 1% screen
My question is: Is 82% cell standby normal? How do I turn it off to save power?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Cell Standby is in essence an idle process. There is no way currently to remove it. The Lenovo versions of Android are Phone versions vs. Tablet versions. If it was a Tablet version it would not have that process. .And yes, what you are seeing is normal.
From what I understand, there are a few enterprising folks aross the pond who are still working on a CM10 version of Android for the A1. They've indicated that when it is ready for release they'll let us know. For now, it is what it is. Lenovo has apparently abandoned all development and support, beyond warrany service for the A1 and A1107.

Power Mac G4 questions.

So like so many other users, my Power Mac G4 tower will not power on.
All that happens when I press the power button is the indicator light will flash in the blink of an eye.
When I hold the power butoon, same thing, but there is a faint clicking sound comeing from inside the case.
I'm pretty sure it might be the power supply that is out, so how would I know what specific item I will need to buy to replace the bad one?
Also, would it be recommended to get a new battery for it too since it is well over 5 years old?
If none of you can answer my questions, will Geek Squad (no Apple store for quite a ways) be able o point me in the right direction?
How much will they charge me just to look at it, without any repairs?
-Thank you for your time.

What model G4?
A weak/discharged PRAM battery can cause the no start up. Check this site for battery part numbers and sources. https://sites.google.com/site/macpram/mac-pram-nvram-cuda-pmu-battery-tutorial Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial
Something to try in the meantime. Resetting the Logic Board
Resetting the logic board can resolve many system problems. Whenever you have a
unit that fails to power up, you should follow this procedure
before replacing any modules.
1 Unplug the computer.
2 Press the Power On button on the front of the unit.
3 Open the side access panel.
4 Remove the battery from the logic board.
5 Wait at least 10 minutes before replacing the battery.
6 Make sure the battery is installed in the correct +/-
direction.
7 Reassemble the computer and test the unit.
Note:
This procedure resets the computer’s PRAM. Be sure to
check the computer’s time/date and other system parameter settings

Integral keyboard power 'on' switch question.

hey
my Macbook died a few days ago, and wont power back on, think it's the Integral power switch located on the top right of the laptop. there was an electrical zap in this area when the computer failed (away from the left side where the logic board is located), opened the Macbook to take a look and nothing obvious going on.
questions:
Does this sound logical?
Would a failed 'on' switch make the Macbook appear dead, especially if it's shorting?
Is there a way to start the Macbook with out needing the keyboard connected, (un plugged key pad connecter to the logic board)?
Is there a way to test if the problem is the 'on' switch rather than the logic board. is a replacement keyboard assembly the only reliable way to do this?
I know it's a bit technical but if any one has any insight into this, I'll be really grateful for that. Would hate to get a new logic board only to find it is a shorted switch.
thanks..

hey istand
thanks for your answer.
yeah later models 07+ logic boards have jumper pads that will start boot procedure with top case isolated. just wondering if any one knows if 06 boards (mine) has the same feature. had a good look but can't find them.
Power 'on' shortage is a known power outage issue, i'm 60% sure this is my problem, failing the jump pads a replacement good top case will have to do.
there are a number of determinations to go through before deciding on a new logic board. airport card isolated etc. (Apple service recommendations or so I'm led to believe)

Plotting Signal Power vs Time question

Hello,
Is there any way to plot on a waveform graph the power of a sinewave signal in dBm around f=36 Khz in real time? I am making up a simple example below to better ilustrate the question:
Let's consider the signal Power=-20dBm and is pretty constant. At this point the graph should show an almost flat line @ -20dBm mark. When a quick power variation occurs (e.g 1ms )the graph should be able to register this variation as a negative spike (e.g -100dBm).
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

You can do this if you have LabVIEW Real-Time and have the supporting hardware for this. You can a remote front panel application to monitor the values real-time.
LabVIEW itself runs on Windows which is not a RT system.

KT3 Ultra2 Power Supply Fan Question

What is the connector PSFAN1 used for? I thought the Power Supply Fan comes on when you turn on the computer. Seems strange that you would have to route the power through the motherboard....I am sorry for the newbie question. I do have a newer Enermax case that seems to have the correct connector coming from the wiring harness out of the power supply. Do I plug that wire onto the PSFAN1 connector?
Dan

Yeah, you will be fine if your plug it in. I have an enermax as well and it is plugged into my mobo and all is well. There is usually a fan in the bottom of the power supply (facing the cpu) and another on the back. The one in the bottom sucks air away from the cpu and the one in the back sucks the air out. You may want to look and see if there is a fan control on the back of the power supply as some let you control the speed of the out blowing fan. Oh, by the way, I just saw that they have three fan power supplies now!

When power on show question mark folder

at the first time i did not operate my mac mini for 3 months.when i want operate they like as usually but maybe on 5 minutes my mac mini off power.now power is on again but when power on my mac mini loading to desktop suddenly appear question mark folder on monitor.

Hello Jodi,
Couple of things to try...

Power Draw Usage Question?

I am not sure this is the right forum for this question, but it seems like the best bet. I am looking for a Mac that can at least run 10.4 and be left on 24/7. The computer will not be allowed to go into standby nor power down its hard drive.
I am looking for the lowest power draw possible as processor performance is not an issue in this application. I think the Mac Mini is the likely candidate, but I was wondering if there are older Macs (Cube?) with lower power draw, or maybe I am better off with a laptop with the screen turned off.
Any ideas?

Power supply mobo question

i have a an antec psu and it comes with a 3 pin plug for the motherboard, since my motherboard has only 2 3 pin plugs 1 for the HSF and the other one for the system fan. but my mobo dont have a system fan, so can i plug in the 3 pin connector from the psu to the system fan plug?

I dont think it matters which it 3 pin it is hooked upto.. but I could be wrong. However it is only to monitor the speed of your fans and doesn't draw power like it would if were a sys fan, anyway try it and see if the monitor of your fans works...
I have a question also simular. I have an Antec550 w/. the front control panel on it. My board is the K7N2-Delta which has a sys fan plugged into the MB and running the xp 2200+ stock heatsink in fan which can only hook to the 3-pin on the MB. The PSU has a three pin which hooks to the MB and is supposed to (when I turn the knob on the front) speed up or slow down my CPU fan.
The montherboard does not have an extra 3 pin, is there something I can buy that will convert my three pin from my CPU fans to a four pin so I can hook it up directly to my PSU and then hook my PSU to the board to adjust the speed of the fan??
Or what are my solutions?

Power Supply Cooling Question

Well, I've been up and running now for the last week or so with no major issues.
I'd like to thank all of you that answered my previous questions during my search for parts and helping me put a good plan in place so that the building of this system was painless.
I have a question though that kind of concerns me.
I noticed one day that what should be an exhaust from the power supply is not an exhaust at all. The air flow is actually into the power supply. I thought this was very unusal. Years ago I actually did have a power supply that had a fan mounted backwards, but that was some cheap case/ps combo in the P2 days.
My power supply in this system is an Enermax EG465P-VE. I said to myself "no way could it be mounted backwards". After checking things out very closely I found that when I removed the side case cover, the power supply started exhausting in the right direction. Put the case cover back on and the air flow went into the power supply again. Ifinally came to the conclusion that the 120mm fan in the back of the case about 2-3 inches below the power supply was actual exhausting so much air out the case that this 120mm fan was actually drawing air against the power supply's fans and causing a slightly negative flow of air (in the wrong direction) through the power supply. I hope I have clearly described the situation.
What concerns me is that the negative flow results in very little air flowing within the power supply, which could potentially result in the power supply overheating and failing resulting in a MoBo and processor frying.
To clarify again, the power supply is trying to push air out, but the 120mm fan is slightly stronger and is more than neutrallizing any flow through the power supply.
Just a little more info... I do have one 80mm fan in the front of the case sucking air into the case, blowing over the hard drive.
There is another spot for a second 80mm fan in the front, but since I'm not over-clocking and really not producing a lot of heat I didn't think I needed two fans in front.
The only other solution that I can think of is to somehow rig up a verister or sensor on the 120mm fan, but to cover all temperture combinations could result in something very complicated for something that shouldn't be that complicated.
Maybe someone has noticed the same problem and has a solution.
Thanks.

When you see the specs on a cooling fan it says so many CFM. But really what it should be saying is how many CFM at a given speed and at a given pressure ratio (exit to inlet pressure ratio). For a given speed the relationship between flow rate and pressure ratio is on a negative slope. That is if you reduce pressure ratio, flow rate goes up and vice versa.
Using your example suppose I put in two intake fans that on spec each draws 10 CFM and one exhaust fan that does 15 CFM and lets assume that the case is so sealed that air can only enter and leave the case via the intake and exhaust holes. When you turn this system on both intake fans try to pressurise the case but as the case pressure goes up, so does the pressure ratio acrsss the fans. Recall the slope relationship. What happens is that the flow rate drops across the two intake fans. Similarly as the pressure inside the case goes up, it become a lot easier for the exhaust fan to do its job because its pressure ratio is dropping. So what does really happen in this situation? Well the overall system reaches an equilibrium condition where the two fans deliver just enough air that the exhaust fan takes out. You can also consider extreme cases where you have massive intake fans and a weak exhaust fan. In this extreme case you'd be better off by removing the weak exhaust fan because the pressure across it becomes so low that you would not need it. You can take the argument around and make the case for a powerful exhaust fan and obviate the need for an intake fan.
Then why do we need so many fans if all we need is one powerful exhust or intake fan? This happens because as air enters the case, it follows its least resistance path inside the case. This implies that you may end up with "dead air" areas in some regions of the case which won't be good for heat duild up. Now this does not mean that by a careful rearrangement of the components you would not be able to come up with a configuration that only uses one fan. To that you'd need to use computational flow techniques and mathematically model each component in terms of blockage and the amount of heat being put out. This is quite expensive to do so but this is how its done for the high power computers.

SATA to eSATA and power-on sequence question

I have, in the 90's, seen mobo's fried due to the switching on/off of attached SCSI devices whilst the Mac was running. I was almost obsessive about the sequence - power up SCSI device, power up Mac, and in reverse, power down Mac, then switch off SCSI device.
Fast forward to 2008, and I am (finally) the proud owner of an early 2005 dual 2Ghz G5 tower. I have fitted my SIIG SC-SA4M12 4-channel PCI SATA card into my recently acquired G5. All four channels are connected to an eSATA quad-port internal to external adapter PCI bracket to run additional external drives in cases with eSATA connectivity.
My basic question is do I still have to follow the old SCSI power-on
sequence (power on external devices, then power on the G5 & in reverse,
shut down the Mac then shut off external drives), or is the G5's mobo &
SIIG PCI SATA card OK if the external drives are powered on/off whilst
the G5 is running?
Logic tells me they should be, as the SATA cables carry only data and
not power (the external drive cases are powered through their own mains
adapters).
I'm still following the old SCSI sequence, as I have no desire to risk my hardware..

Another way to look at it, might be a good option so that it's off when charging.
Actually doesn't really matter. It will make no difference to your battery life or charge life whether it is on or off when charging.

P55-GD65 Power Phase LED Question

I had a question regarding both the power phase LEDs and the actual power phases themselves.
I noticed that the power phase LEDs light up and change according to the currently active power phase for the CPU based upon load using stock settings.
However, when I applied a mild overclock, increase the bclk from 133 to 160, the power phase LEDs stopped changing. They are all lit all the time. Does this mean the power phase is not changing, so I am losing the power savings benefit? Or is the power phase still dynamic, it just stops registering and reporting with the LEDs?
With the mild overclock applied and all power phase LEDs lit up, in BIOS under the green powere menu, I can see the efficiency number fluctuating, which makes me think the dynamic power phase is still in effect.
Does anyone have any insight into this?
Thanks,

I have not gotten around to testing power consumption at the wall yet, currently in the process of moving.
I did find this thread:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=134762.0
The interesting thing I noticed, is that apparently APS worked with overclocking enabled in older BIOS versions. I am running BIOS v1.5, I know current is v1.8. Can anyone confirm whether or not APS is enabled with overclocking in BIOS v1.8?
I do not have MSI Control Center installed, but I will do that as soon as I can to see if I can re-enable the LEDs and check if APS is working or not.
If APS is working just fine and it is only the LED display that is broken, I have no problem with that. I actually would like the LEDs turned off, but I want to confirm that APS is working before I do.

Satellite C870-11G - AC power adapter compatibility question

I have a C870-11G.
It uses power adapter part no PA3917U-1ACA which recently became damaged when someone tripped on the cable and it bent the end which connects to the laptop.
I used to have a Toshiba C660D-10W a few years ago and still have the power adapter for that laptop, part no PA3714E-1AC3,
Does anyone know if this is compatible with my C870?
It seems to fit but I didn't want to try it incase it damages the battery or something.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

On the first pic you can see the values:
*19V* (Volt) *3.42A* (Ampere)
On the second pic you can find the same values.
So both AC adaptors provide the same volt and ampere values and should be compatible.

Power supply compatibility question

Clear power up status question

Hi,
I have been using NI-Motion controller 7334 along with UMI-7764 for a while. Today the error 70072 "The FlexMotion controller is in power up reset
state. Please execute the Clear Power Up Status function or VI before
sending any commands to the controller" was reported when I tried to execute my application VI. What could have happened to cause this error suddenly?
I initialized the controller using measurement and automation program. After this initialization, the error is gone and stepping motors move, but other functions do not work in my application VI. If I restart the computer, the error returns. Also, the stepping motors move when computer is OFF. I am not sure if I am doing the correct procedure to clear power up status.
Any help to resolve this issue is appreciated!
Just to give an idea about my knowledge level, I am not familiar with LabView programming.
Thanks!

Hello Sameer,
Attached VI will :
Check if the controller is in the Power Up Reset state
Clear the Power Up Reset state if needed
Initialize the controller. Settings Name must be an existing motion configuration.
Hope this helps

Power adapter - a questionable design...

Is anyone else having the same problem as I do? I am down in Asia where the power plugs stick out a bit from the wall - about 1 cm... This is enough for the power adapter to fall out from most of em and it's driving me crazy... Just about 2 minutes ago the adapter fell out of the plug and almost knocked me on my head...

Use the 6' AC cord that you received with your computer and adapter, instead of the little "duck head" attachment.
