Best Battery Health not working in Windows 7 after Windows 8 installation

Hello everybody, I'm having an annoying problem with my G475.
It came with Windows 7 installed, and the option "Best Battery Health" was working fine.
Then I upgraded to Windows 8 (fresh install) and installed the Energy Management drivers.
Since "Best Battery Health" wasn't working on Windows 8, I installed back Windows 7 (fresh install).
But now, the option "Best Battery Health" is not working anymore!
It stays checked in the software, but the battery keeps charging until 100 percent.
I did the "Battery Gauge Reset". It finished and the problem persisted.
I also tried to change settings in safe mode, didn't work.
Please help!

hi kauptman,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
Just want to verify, have you also installed the following in order:
1. Intel Chipset Driver
2. AMD Matrix Storage Manager Driver v1.2.1.210
2. Lenovo Energy Management v6.0.1.5
If the apps listed above are already installed, I recommend you:
1. Drain the battery (use the computer until it prompts you that the battery is low)
2. Change your power plan settings to Power Saver / High Performance and re-test if battery stops charging at 90% or 95%.
If the problem still persist, I recommend you restore the unit by using the Lenovo Recovery Disc. If the recovery partition is still intact, click here on how to create a facotory restore dics.
Hope this helps.

  • IdeaPad V570 'Best battery health'

    On the energy management panel under the option for "Best battery health," it says this setting will limit charge capacity to 0-45% or 0-50%. Is there any way to raise this limit above 50%? I'd ideally like to limit the charge to about 80%.
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    Hi Peano and welcome to the community,
    Limiting the charge to 50% has been shown to give the battery its longest life.  Older versions kept the charge at 80%.
    The only way to keep the charge at 80% using your version would be to change the setting to runtime and charging the battery to 80%, then changing the setting back to best battery health.  Your battery will lose its charge gradually.
    Probably about 1% a day.
    Older versions might or might not work with your machine.  If you do decide to experiment, uninstall your current version first before you install a new one.  Also keep in mind that the Hotkeys utility is incorporated into the Energy Management.
    Another version might make things work funny.

  • Java thread not working in windows 7

    I have a Java app that runs just fine on Windows XP. However, on Windows 7 there is a problem related to a job being done via a Java thread.
    Background: The app spawns a separate job via a Java thread and continues on while the spawned job executes. In other words, 2 things happen at once.
    Problem: On Windows 7, when the app spawns the job, Windows sits and waits for the spawned job to complete before it continues on. In other words, 2 things DO NOT happen at once.
    It's as if Java threading does not work in Windows 7. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for the input, guys. From now on I'll be sure to include a SSCCE.
    I'm beginning to believe this is actually my ignorance of threading in SWT, and XP was more forgiving than 7.
    I would include a SSCCE, but of the 4 different ways I tried to get this to work I wouldn't know which to include since all failed to fix the problem.
    If you want to identify a link to a web page identifying 'best practices' for SWT threading, that would be great. Be aware though that there's a good chance I've already googled the page.

  • Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 does not work in Windows Server 2008 R2 domains

       Hello to all, there are two confliting articles about this topic:
       1-
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/upgrade-domain-controllers-to-windows-server-2008-r2(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_Whatsnew : this one says that it does not work "The Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 does not work in Windows
    Server 2008 R2 domains". This article was updated in 2013.
       2-
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692314(office.13).aspx: this other article says that it will function "Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Group Chat will function in a Windows Server 2008 R2 forest". This article was updated in
    2010 and was refered by the first one.
       What is the correct support position for Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 domains?
       Regards, EEOC.

    Hi,
    I notice the following sentence in the link below “Office Communications Server 2007 R2, Group Chat will not function in a Windows Server 2008 R2 forest or when Group Chat member servers are joined to a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain.
    We know of an issue with changes in Windows 2008 R2 that requires a Group Chat Client and Group Chat Admin Tools hotfix. The Group Chat Client and Group Chat Admin Tools hotfixes are currently scheduled for mid-April 2010.”
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2010/11/06/supportability-for-office-communications-server-2007-r2-and-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx
    So in my opinion, if you update to the latest version of Windows Server 2008 R2, OCS Server 2007 R2 and Group Chat Client, Group Chat Admin Tools to the latest version, it should work.
    However, the best method for you is make a lab to test the problem firstly.

  • Dvd@ccess not working with windows (windows media pleyer)

    i have build my dvd using the dvd@ccess works fine only on mac
    not working on window even after installing the dvd@ccess
    is there a way for it to work?

    Years ago when DVDs first hit the market, everyone was trying to put weblinks on their DVD. The problem was that no one had a seemless system that worked on all computers (there are alternatives to dvd@ccess). No matter what anyone did there were ALWAYS customers who complained, "It doesn't work." So as a result it is now almost impossible to find any new DVD releases that use weblinks.
    The best advice is to not have any weblinks on your DVD. No matter what you do, there will always be someone out there who will complain, "It doesn't work."

  • AC97 onboard sound DOES NOT WORK under Windows 2000

    Just an FYI, the AC97 Audio on your MSI mainboard will not work under Windows 2000, for which the AC97 hardware is not certified. If you try to use it, your audio output will be intermittant at best and will crash your audio applications at worst. A maddening and disheartening problem for people like me who didn't realize the problem existed and spent many hours trying to getting it to go away.

    hiya -
    I am have this trouble as well!
    Are you useing professional, or Advaced server?

    Run this code to reproduce the issue.Which issue?
    It looks like inheritance is broken in the component hierarchy for JFrame in Windows 7 JDK 1.6.0_23-b05. The only thing remotely related to inheritance in your code snippet is the WindowListener, which does little. See camickr's advice about built-in exit management.
    EDIT - using the post title as a clue, I realize you may be talking about the component hierarchy, and whether the contentPane's background is visible through the upper layers. Instead of guessing, I'd prefer you describe your "issue" accurately (observed vs expected behavior).

  • APPLE mouse & keyboard not working with Windows (Bootcamp)

    I installed Leopard and Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The installation went very smoothly. Only problem I have is that my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on Windows (frozen) although they work fine on Leopard. I tried a Logitech wireless trackball and it works fine on both Windows and Leopard. Any suggestion?

    Thanks. I upgraded from Tiger and downloaded Bootcamp from Leopard Installation disc ( I did not have a beta version ). I then installed Windows XP SP2 ( brand new, just bought for that purpose ). Wonder if Mac wireless keyboard and mouse are compatible with Window. Everything else work beyond my expectation.

  • ITunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows - Fix??

    Hi everyone,
    I had issue after issue with the latest iTunes update (12.1.1) not working on my windows 7. It simply would not lunch when clicking on the shortcut to open.
    After a fair bit of searching I found this alternative version which seemed to do the trick and now it works:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - iTunes64Setup.exe(2015-02-18)

    The "for older video cards" installer - which, like most prior "64 bit" versions of iTunes, is actually a 32 bit application with a 64 bit installer - may be a useful fallback if the full 64 bit version does not install or run correctly.  Although 12.1.1.4 is a major improvement over 12.1.0.71, there are clearly still some lurking incompatibilities with some 64 bit Windows systems/components.  It is, however, a little misleading to say that "iTunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows" - in many cases it works fine without switching to the alternative version.  I have the full 64-bit version of 12.1.1.4 running on three systems - two Windows 7 and one Windows 8.1 - no issues with either installation or operation on any of them.

    Getting the following error message:

    I am using Windows 7 x64.
    I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
    I am running Mcafee.
    I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
    YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
    I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
    I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
    P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

  • MFA not working on Windows Server 2012 R2

    Been using MFA since PF days.  Deployed it successfully many times but for some reason it's not working with Windows Auth, Terminal Services on a Win 2012 R2 DataCenter box?  The machine was successfully added to my domain PhoneFactor group, I
    can see and add the machine on the master MFA.  Services are running but when I remote in I go right through without MFA stopping me?  Any ideas?
    TIA

    6.3.0 has just been released and 2012 R2 is *still* not supported. What the hell?!?
    "Version 6.3.0 of the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server adds the
      following additional functionality:
    * Added one-way SMS functionality for AD FS, RADIUS and User Portal
    * Added .csv file import for OATH tokens
    * Added support to parse phone numbers in E.164 format during import
      From the directory
    * Fixed problem preventing slave servers from performing MFA if the
      master server was unavailable. This problem was found to exist in
      all 6.2.x builds. All customers running 6.2.x should upgrade to 6.3.
    * Fixed directory sync issue for recursive security groups
    * Added additional logging to AD FS adapter
    * Other minor bug fixes and security improvements
    Known Issues:
    * Windows Authentication for Terminal Services is still not supported for
      Windows Server 2012 R2"
    So they added a whole stack of other functionality, but still didn't get around to taking a look at this bug. I'm stunned. Is there any sort of timeline on fixing this, or is 2012 R2 just going to remain unsupported forever?
