Early 2013 15" rMBP (LG) Screen and Power Save Problems

OK, so the first frustration is that I have this new 15" rMBP set to never sleep while on power.  I routinely come back to it, only to find that I am logged out and all of my apps have been closed.  Very annoying.  But now also this:
Only way to solve is to close lid and re-open or reboot.  Do you bright folks think this is firmware/software related or is it because I lost the lottery and got an LG screen?

When you say NEW what do you mean by that? If it is older then a couple of weeks it really isn't NEW, at least the way I think (New is I bought it yesterday to several days ago). If it is less then 14 days old take it back and return it for a full refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Ask Return Policy for Full Refund. Then buy another that may work correctly.
If older then 2 weeks then the only thing you can do it take it to Apple and have them fix it, if possible, or replace it with one that works correctly.

  • IOS 6 Maps and Power Save

    Hi guys;
    My screen keeps powering down and locking when using maps. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? It shoud be simple, since Waze has the feature built right into the app.
    SInce Maps is supposed to be 'crowd sourced' it seems ridiculous that it locks out unless I want to disable power save mode on my phone. Is there a way to have Maps keep the phone awake, and if not, could that be built into the next update?

    A lot of people are having problems with Passbook right now. Maps is a brand new service that has just been activated.
    Be patient. Your operating system isn't even a day old. I can't believe that right after downloading the new update, you're already looking for ways to get rid of it. People can never be satisfied.

  • 6120 - Blank screen in power saver mode

    Hi everybody!
    I have recenty become a proud 6120 owner (my first symbian :-)), and I have 1 question:
    how can I prevent in power saver mode, my screen to go complety blank??? I would like to see the status of my phone (time, missed calls, messages, etc.)!
    this is really annoying!
    can anybody help me, how to change/prevent this?
    many thx in advance
    daniel

    In menu/settings/themes/powersaver I have to tick one of three options (time/date, text or animation). Whichever is ticked I get at least the clock in powersaver mode. Events show under the date (or text if you choose text) so keypad locked has a symbol, missed calls have a number (of missed calls) and a symbol and so on.
    However I have also noticed the screen is totally blank after a while and pressing a button starts the powersaver cycle again - briefly showing the dark main screen (including missed call message etc) before showing the clock with the symbols for a short while again. The time it takes to enter powersaving mode is in the display settings but I can't see a setting for how long it shows for.
    Why the clock etc doesn't stay I do not know - I presume even this would eat the batteries more than strictly necessary. I can't see any option to keep it but it may there somewhere!!

  • Z77a-g43 and power save mode

    All parts are new.
    ASUS gf gtx 560 ti dcII top, corsair 8 gb memory, intel core i5-3570K, 3,4GHZ soc 1155, corsair 600w, msi Z77A-G43 Intel Z77 1155 ATX
    Everything was running just fine for one hour. Loaded windows 7 /64 and some servicepack. Then suddenly I got the "power save mode". I´ve tried a different graphic-card with the same result. Took out the bios battery but that didnt hlp. Then tried another corsair 600w but no... The comp. starts, but with a black screen. No usb is working. Tried the blue vga on the motherboard but still a black screen. No beep.
    So, what to do? Buy a nother mb?

    Here are some other ideas:
    1.) repeat the process with a single stick of ram try each stick / try different dimms to see 1 stick is fault or a dimm is faulty.
    2.) Remove and re-seat the cpu, while the cpu is out, check the pins for damage.
    3.) Remove the mobo from the case and check for foreign objects shorting it out, while it is out, build the computer on a non-conductive surface with 1 stick of ram, cpu, cooler and psu and test.
    Pay careful attention to extra stand offs under the motherboard.

  • Error when installing Toshiba Tools and Power Saver

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A100-771 and installed Windows XP Professional with SP2.
    Afterwards I installed all drivers. After that I wanted to install the Toshiba Utilities and have got an error message : "Toshiba common Module not found! This setup will terminate."
    Furthermore I tried to install the Power Saver Tool, which is more important as the uilities I think. And here I have got the error message: "A fatal error has occurred. This program will be terminated. Code:0x7E"
    I am not sure what I can do else. I also installed the hotfixes for Windows which are on the ToolCD from Toshiba. But the problem is still there.
    The difference between both errors is that the installation of the utilities setup stop before finishing installation. On the Power Safer installation, it finished on 100% and terminate the setup or the program after the installation.
    May somebody can help me.
    Eathen

    There is a specific order that the Toshiba utilities and drivers have to be loaded in. This list is on the Toshiba download page, and the common modules is one the first utilities that has to be loaded for the others to work

  • Satellite A60-122: Cooling regimes and Power Saver bug

    There are two cooling methods available for my laptop: 'Max Performance' and 'Battery Optimized'. Well, I have read what the manual says about these regimes, but my observations are a little bit different. I found out that under the 'Battery Optimized' regime only the primary fan is working (the one with the processor), while under the 'Max performance' regime the secondary fan is operated.
    The trouble is in switching between the regimes: once 'Max performance' is turned on, and then the computer is switched back to 'Battery Optimized', the secondary fan will never stop. It is very disturbing, since the secondary fan is sort of noisy. Any ideas how to fix this problem?
    I have got the latest BIOS version (1.90) as well as the latest Power Saver program.

    Hello
    Sorry but I dont believe you are hardware engineer, hardware designer or maybe software developer to define some behavior as bug. Or I am wrong about it? ;)
    How old is your A60? Have you ever cleaned the unit and remove the dust? Can the unit be cooled properly? Please clean it properly and unit will be able to take a breath. That means the cooling fans will run slowly and definitely not so often. After cleaning my old Satellite P20 (three cooling grills) notebook was much quieter.
    Power saver is created for battery optimization and allow user to define how the notebook should work with battery or AC power supply. This optimization means lower power consumption and longer work with battery power supply.

    This is very interesting issue and I have tested it on my notebook and it works well. I have switched few times between profiles and the result is always the same: the fun runs under max performance but every time when I switch to battery optimized the cooling fan stops immediately. Try please to create own profile with minimum level of CPU activity and cooling method. Connect it to AC power supply and with FN+F2 switch between the profiles.
    At the end, if there is some bug I believe in last two years (the unit should be about two and half years old) it should be fixed long time ago.

  • Powerbook Screen and alluminum case problem

    I think my Powerbook is defected.. My screen has these clusters of white dots on the screen, and the case has a dent in it. I have always kept my powerbook in a soft case, and kept the soft case in the hard case. What should I do to fix this?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Chrispy.
    It sounds like your PowerBook screen is suffering from 'white spots' (which afflicted some 15" PBs, including mine). Contact Apple. If your PB is still under warranty then they should replace it.
    As for the dent, do you know how that came about? If that was caused by an accident or yourself then Apple will not repair it.

  • N96 V30.033 Power Saver Problems

    Hi there,
    I've just recently updated my N96 to V30.033 and now the power saver does not seem to work properly.
    I have an .swf animation set in the Power Saver options (power save timeout set to 30 secs). After 30 secs when it tries to go into power save, the animation comes up briefly, and then comes out of power save (back to the standby screen. or whatever screen you had open last).
    It will just keep doing this in a loop.
    It used to work on the last firmware, any ideas?
    The only way to stop this is not to use an animation.
    Thanks.

    Binx:This is definitly one of the problems comin directly from the firmware, because it used to work for me before as well and now all of a sudden with this **bleep** firmware, we are back to triangle of worst firmwares (V10, V11, V30)............

  • NB205-N210 Power Saver Problem

    Hi!
    Im haveing an error during install of the Power Saver software.
    I have Win XP SP3 (Hungarian) and when I try to install the software, it gives me this message:
    "1628: script based installation unsuccessful"
    I read after this, and they say that "Idriver.exe" makes the error, I tryed to disable it but I cant,
    Anyone can help me finding out how to install this vital part of software to my netbook, with out it the batter last only for about 3-4 hour (insted of 7-9)?
    Thank you very much in foreward!

    Microsofts Knowledge base suggests:
    Method 10
    If you get the message error "Error 1628: Failed to complete script based install"
    And followed the instruction above and it didnt resolve the problem and you just create fresh
    installation packet by using InstallShiled tool, please disable "Cache installation on local machine"
    option during the installation packet create process.
    Link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555175
    So maybe it has something to do with temporary files.
    Go into c:\documents and settings\[your name]\Local Settings\Temp
    and delete all the files in there (close all other programs first, or do it in Safe Mode).
    Also try disabling your Antivirus software. They can sometimes block installations.

  • Power Saver Problems M30-344 (CPU only uses 600MHz)

    Hi!
    In my m30-344 are changed mainboard and display.
    At this time i can't use the full 1.5ghz of the cpu!
    In the Power Saver Profile i can choose only the cpu-rate 1-3! I have now de-installed this tool and reinstalled the version by the net. But i can only use 600mhz!
    What can i do?
    [Edited by: admin on 07-May-05 08:18]

    Hi
    Just need a little more help on this! I rang up pc world today and they had no idea what i was on about with the micro code. The guy kept saying its because i have no prossessor intensive apps running so it would run at 600mhz, he also said that cpuz is probably reporting the wrong cpu speed.
    I know this cannot be the case as in the bios it is set to high which will mean it will run at 1600mhz all the time and not drop to 600mhz. I also ran a game in the background, while raring a 600mb file with 6 ie windows open to no avail just to proove to him that it wasnt goin to 1600! :-)
    But he still didnt understand! So i need some light shed on what this micro code buisiness is all about because i have to explain to them exactly what the problem is. I need some info on this by tuesday so i can send it off with the laptop! Any help kindly recieved!

  • Premiere Pro CC Timeline render in and out save problem

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the save of the timeline. After I render the sequence in and out, I'm saving the project and close Premiere Pro CC. When I'm opening the project, the sequence isn't rendered. What should I do?
    I'm running on Windows 7 and I have Premiere Pro 8.1.0 (81) Build !  I found out that not just on this version of Premiere Pro CC this problem happens. Before I reinstalled my windows, I had Premiere Pro CC but I didn't have this problem, just after reinstall.
    Hopefully you guys can help me. I think I have to mention that sometimes when I change desktop icons position, after Windows restart they aren't in the same place.
    Thanks!

    I would be willing to bet the video is recorded as VFR, variable frame rate ... in other words, it creates more frames per second when it needs to for keeping up with screen changes, and less when it doesn't see much changing on your screen. This saves bandwidth of course, BUT ... PrPro is not setup to work well with VFR footage, it really needs CFR, constant FR. So ... highly recommended if your capture program doesn't allow setting CFR is the free program "Handbrake", which you can google for. Use that to convert the footage to CFR, then import that into PrPro.

  • Nokia 5300 - Power Saver Problems

    Hi!
    I have a 5300 and sometimes my Power Saver mode does not work.
    I'm sorry but I coudn't figure out the problem reprodution steps yet. All I can tell is that from a certain point beyond the power saver does not appear although it is activated. One way to correct this is to turn the phone off then on.
    Is Nokia aware of this problem?
    I found a similar post about another model, the suggested explanation resided on the operator's firmware, but in 5300's case the firmware is Nokia original...
    Thank's.

    I also tried formatting my memory card... that did not worrk either

    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Neglect the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of thes programs
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
