G580 energy management causing wireless problem

So first, I apologize if this post is in the wrong place. I didn't see g580s anywhere.
I've narrowed down my wireless issues to the power manager (I think.)
If the laptop is plugged in to AC then wireless connects fine. If running on battery then it won't connect unless energy management is set to 'performance' instead of default 'balanced.'
i'm on win8 and have tried energy management version 8.0.2.5, 8.0.2.3, and the latest version for win7 all with the same result.
I've unchecked the box in device manager for the wireless network adapter to "allow the computer to turn ff this device to save power."
I just bought this laptop yesterday and it would be great if someone knew what I was overlooking.
Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Hi Artificialed,
Thank you for posting and Welcome to Lenovo Community,
I’d like to ask you to completely uninstall Lenovo Energy Management application and restart the system,
And then please check the wireless on the battery without energy management and see it it’s the same,
And after that please install the Lenovo Energy management from the below link and share the status of the wireless connection after this:

Hope the information helps. Let us know.

Bug report: Energy Manager causes slow performance...

Very slow Windows Startup..
Energy Manager's plans and the problem occured using any plan as I remember, and it wasn't an issue with the maximum processor state. I had heavy disk usage, especially access to the Page File, which is what the person in the second link I posted also described. CPU usage was low. The disk usage was seemingly not related to Energy Manager (Chrome was usually the worst), but removing Energy Manager completely resolved the problem. If you would find it helpful. I'm quite confident that even with Maximum Processor state at %100, CPU usage was low when it was slow, and that disk access was the culprit.
previously have use 1.0.0.31 or 32 not sure.
Windows 8.1
Im using Lenovo Energy Management Driver
1.0.0.28
4.6.2014

I actually have the same problem. Sorry to work on a old thread, but...
I've got my Lenovo B50-70 less than 1 month ago, and had switched it to SSD and had set everything up and is working perfectly. However there are a bunch of lenovo programs that came pre-installed. This computer is used mainly for work and I really don't like programs that suddenly pop-up and ask you to do stuff, as it is quite distracting, and with Lenovo Energy Manager being one of them so I removed it. (I did do some research before I remove...)
Everything was fine, until when I try to switch on my wifi (I usually have it off, as I use LAN most of the time)... For the B50-70 there is a airplane button on F7, which allow the user to switch wifi and bluetooth on/off. That button was unresponsive... After some digging it is actually related to the power energy manager being removed. So I've downloaded the latest version from Lenovo and it was working again...
However though, whenever I start my computer it is taking so long to start... And I tried uninstalling the power energy manager and it solved the problem... And I am stuck with either having no wifi on/off ability or a really slow boot, which loses the whole purpose of the SSD. After you enter your username and password it originally takes around 5~10 seconds to login, now it takes over 1 minute.
I have found this other link, which says Lenovo Power Manager having the same problem.
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/Bug-report-Power-Manager-causes-slow-performa...
There is a solution, which you can change the registry to switch a function off. I've tried it and it didn't work, which is not surprising as it's a different program.. But I am hoping that Lenovo can provide a similar solution for Lenovo Energy Manager...

G580 Energy Management annoying CPU warning popups

Hi, i have a new G580 Laptop with Windows 7 64bit
i have a problem when i am on battery (not connected to AC), every few minutes a message pops and warn me about a high CPU usage. is there any way to disable this popups?
Thanks!!!
here is a screenhots of the popups:

Sorry for my bad english

Hi there,hello MclarenII and all with this problem.
I had same problem with new LEM- Lenovo Energy Management from Lenovo website.But now is preety fine.
After couple times reinstaling my system i'm find out how to do Now works superb with AC plugged or unplugged (battery).No any CPU errors like before 70%,100% ,60% after couple 5 to 20 sec.
Time for solution for G580
Solution for you is Fresh Re-install Win7 and put drivers in correct order like this:
1.Chipset
2.Lem 7.0.3.3 not higher!!! This is Lenovo Energy Management Virtual ACPI
3.Mei-Management Engine Components for Intel
4.Irst-Intel (R) Rapid Storage Technology
5.Intel Vga
6.Nvidia
7 .Audio
8.Lan
9.Card reader
10.WiFi
11.TouchPad
12.Bluetooth
13.Camera
This is correct order to driver instalations for Win7 64/32
My own secret formula for instalations without any errors of CPU warning.
100% correct
p.s
The Lenovo Energy Management 7.0.3.3 (ME-management energy) is on Lenovo CD Drivers for G580 (20150).
If someone need, please request me for it.
that's all

Lenevo G580 Energy Managment issue

Hi guys,
I bought this laptop few days back, install win7 (64 bit OS)on it, I somehow installed all basic driver but when I found (fn+f5) not working while trying to enable bluetooth/wireless, I tried to install other drivers, then came Energy Manager(EM) and I uld see (fn+f5) working, showing a interface to switch on/off wireless/bluetooth.
Everything goes well untill I restarted my system, System couldnt work anymore, I have to restore my system to the state when I install EM drivers.
Trying this few time, and also installing some new ,version 8.something EM, seems not to be working.
I also tried the one 7.0.3.4.
Please advise if anybody have some solution.

Energy Management Driver problem

Hello, I have an IdeaPad S10-3t, and I've upgraded it to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have managed to load alternate drivers for all components except for Lenovo Energy Management, since Lenovo doesn't provide support for 64bit OSes on this tablet.
The problem is, Energy Management seems to be a 32-bit driver, and after I install it and reboot, the computer BSODs on startup, EVEN IN SAFE MODE, and I have to do Startup Repair > System Restore and roll back to recover my system to a usable state. I've also noticed the Lenovo Active Protection system (the one that parks the hard drive in event of a free-fall) also causes BSODs when I install it...
I cannot use Energy Management or see the hotkey OSD because of this. Does anybody know where I can find 64 BIT drivers for the ACPI\VPC2004 power controller?

hi Azothyran,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums
The Lenovo S10 series doesn't list any Windows 7 64bit drivers for the Lenovo Energy Management.. What you can try is to install the Lenovo Energy management for other models. Try these:
Lenovo Energy Management     Lenovo Energy Management
Windows 7 64bit / v4.4.0.8          Windows 7 64bit / v5.4.0.8
IN1EGC11WW6.exe                     IN1EGC15WW6.exe
7.66 MB                                           7.91 MB
Lenovo Energy Management      Lenovo Energy Management
Windows 7 64bit / v6.0.1.6           Windows 7 64bit / v7.0.3.9
IN8STW09WW5.exe                     cagt32ww.exe
13.4 MB                                           21.3MB
If one of the drivers above work, try to press Fn+ arrow up/down to increase/decrease the brightness
Hope this helps

G550 Energy Management Problem

Hello,
I'm not sure if anyone else experienced this before.
When you set Energy Management software to "Super Energy Saver" mode, it turns off a couple of functions like sound card, bluetooth, ethernet etc. and Wireless Network Card is one of them.
The problem is when you turn it back to "Balanced" or to some other option, the particular card remains closed. You can choose not to close it from the advanced options menu, however you can only access advanced options menu when you're using "Super Energy Saver" mode (the button dissapears in other modes). So, it is a vicious circle. I've tried activating wireless manually, but it looks like it is already open (device manager etc.) everywhere.
At the very end I've tried uninstalling the program, which didn't work either; the card remained closed, and I was left without internet until I've noticed that I had the setup file of it. At the moment, I have to use "Super Energy Saver" mode, and set it to not to close Wireless Network Card.
Where do you think the program disables Wireless? How can I reopen it?
Thank you.

first of all, you need power management. it also includes system files that you can use turn on/off some functions such as wireless.
after re-installing, press fn + f5 and/or switch on/of the wireless.

Problem with Energy Management and One key Theater

I have a Lenovo G560 laptop. Actually, I have first installed Windows 7 x64 on my lappy but it caused many problems so I again reinstall windows 7 32 bit. But now Energy Management and One key theater are not working at all.
Is there any fix for it???

As I understand you are unable to use OneKey Theater and Lenovo energy management.
The installation of both OneKey Theater and Power Management are necessary for using OneKey Theater. Through "Start" à "All Programs" à "Lenovo", or "Start" à "Control Panel" à "Programs" à "Programs and Features", you can find out whether OneKey Theater has been installed.
If it has been installed, you need to make sure the following two items has been started in “Start à Run à msconfig à Startup”
After that, if OneKey Theater is still unable to be started, you can run it manually by double clicking "Onekey Studio" through "Local Disk(C" à "Program Files" à "Lenovo" à "OneKey Theater".
If OneKey Theater has been started, you can see "Onekey Studio.exe" under the "Processes" tab of "Windows Task Manager".
OneKey Theater can be download from the mentioned below web link.
http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/in/en/driversdownloads/Drivers_Show_2651.html
Lenovo energy management software can be download from the mentioned below web link.

Problem after Energy Manager update to 3.20

Hi there,
I have a problem with my t61 in order to energy manager after updating it to version 3.20.
The symbol of the charge condition in the task bar disappeared and an error prompt appeared after new start ("Error by loading
C:\PROGRA~1\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\PWMTR32V.dll Can't find denoted module" [translated to engl.].
The error also occures when I try to set the option "task bar" in options of energy manager.
Are there any information about this lil problem on the boards?
Thanks so far.
Solved!

Hi,
It happened to me when I downloaded Power Manager 3.20 through system update.
To cure it I have dowmloaded Power Manager from Lenovo site
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70601
and installed it manually.
Good luck!

Y2P - Installed Energy Manager before the BIOS update: problem?

So, my yellows are still not the best of yellows.
I installed the Energy Manager and then saw that there was a BIOS update that you were supposed to install before EM. Whoops.
Removed EM, rebooted, and reinstalled, rebooted. Yellows look a little better, but still a little mustardy.
Thoughts?

ok nevermind the above post, I found a utility to make a bootdisk that works from bootdisk.com all my problems went away and am typing this from enlightenment as we speak.

Regarding the wireless problem of my T60. Hope there is someone who can help me out. Thx.

I have read some of the posts and i found out that some of the Thinkpad users have the problem of unable to connect wireless network using Access Connection but not Window wireless network connection. For my case, i have connect the network with both of them. In fact, when i use either one to connect, the other would be connected too.
The problem is, sometimes when i use my wireless network, my wireless would be switched off automatically, and the wireless light is then off, and after that i cannot switched the wireless on again. I tried on it using access connection, failed. I tried Fn+F5 to on it, but no matter how many times i click on 'on', there would not be any response. The only thing i can do after this is to restart to laptop.
I called Lenovo Support to help me solve the problem, but still failed. The first time they asked me to installed some drivers and reinstall my Intel(R) Pro/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection. These files included 79uj29us which is a bios update, 7kwc50ww which is the wireless driver installation, 7tvu12ww which is the hotkey driver update, and last 7tku03ww, a power management driver update. But the problem remains. The 2nd time i called, they asked me to uninstall my Access Connection and use window wireless connection as they may cause conflict to each other, and they asked me to uncheck the option of 'Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power' in the power management of wireless drive in device manager, but problem persists. The last time i called the technician and he said they only can check if it is a hardware problem and there most probably be nothing else they can do for my softwares and drivers, and he also believed that it might be the network configuration of my service provider that cause the problem, but i personally do not think so as it is quite hard to believe that the my service is switching off my wireless hardware and i have other laptop in my house too but they do not experience this problem.
Last night i discovered something new, when the wireless is off automatically again, i ran a test on the the wireless device using PC Doctor, for PCI express status test, it passed, for the wireless connectivity and signal strength test, results showed there was 'no connection', when it comes to network link test, it showed 'internal error', the TCP/IP network connection test showed failed. Then i restarted it and ran the test with the wireless switched off by my self, the PCI express status test passed too, but the remaining four test all showed 'no connection'.
I really hope if there is someone there to help me out to solve the problem or to enlighten me what the real problem is, could it be software or hardware problem, or could it be other problems like registry or what? I greatly appreciate if anyone can help me to solve this. Thanks alot.

I have uninstalled my Access Connection, but this problem seems to persist. IBM technician have changed the wireless card of my T60, the first few days after it was changed was very fine, no problem at all. About a week later, the problem occured again, and it happened quite frequently after that occurence. Now i really have no idea what is the cause and how to solve it. Will be greatful if there is anyone that can help me.

[Solved] Wired connection ok but wireless problem on Intel 5100

Here is how i solved the problem :
1 - get back to the wiki doing everything in order
2 - added dbus in attition to hal in the deamon line in rc.conf
3 - put wicd at the end of the deamon line
4 - then configured wicd for my wireless network at boot : no more dbus error, and connection perfectly ok
Thx very much for the superb wiki, certainly my fault if i messed up but i still have to learn

I suspect that something is wrong between iwlagn and iwlwifi-5000 which can cause this problem.
I have to say that I'm quite lost here, i hope someone will have an idea
thank you very much

Stab in the dark...the hal daemon should start dbus, but sometimes I've been encouraged to add the dbus DAEMON explicitly (before hal).
I don't really understand dbus too intimately, but I've come across situations where although dbus is running, I can't talk to it because the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_{ADDRESS,PID,WINDOWID} variables weren't visible in the environment I was working in. For instance, if dbus is started by xinitrc, and then some system-level daemon tries to talk to dbus, usually it fails for me, and I have to use some workaround.
Now I would expect wicd to be set up so that the ordinary user doesn't encounter any problems of this sort. On the other hand, the error you're getting does say that it's dbus communication which is failing. Perhaps you could try shutting down hald and dbus, open a terminal, su -, /etc/rc.d/dbus start, and then try from that command line to tell wicd to connect?

Wireless Problem in windows 7 intel wifi link 5100agn

i bought a dv7 1270us laptop in january. everything was fine until the last 3 months i started having small problems in vista. it would take 10+ minutes to connect and the speed would go up and down. then i installed windows 7 and am either having problems with the card or driver but ive tried every driver i can find and nithing has worked.. the wireless drops randonly. when it drops it doesnt lose connection the signal drops all the way down to one bar and i get maybe 10Kbps of bandwith well it takes 2 minutes to load a page of this forum atleast. When it drops it also only drops for maybe 5-10 minutes or else it stays like that until i restart but resarting always fixes it tempoparily for 10 minutes or so. toaday i tried to disconnect and reconnect to my network. as soon as i cicked connect i got a blue screen it pointed torwards netw5v64.sys i have tried re installing the drivers multiple times and the problem isnt resolved. i have sent the laptop in twice in the last 2 months one for the blue ray drive and wireless problems i am having now. they sent it back with a new blue ray drive and a new antenna for my wireless saying the card was fina it was a driver and maybe a new antenna would help with connectivity. well they were wrong. i got it back and it started overheating to 90+ degrees celcius and wireless problems were still there even though they re-imaged the hard drive so all drivers should be perfect.so i sent it back again. now i just got it back and they cleaned the heatsink and completely ignored my wireless problems. the sheet that states the repairs that were done has a circle aroubd cleaned heatsink/fan and thats it n comments or anything. then to make the icing on the cake there is a 3 inch long fairly deep scrath on my laptop i take verygood care of all of my laptops so that i can sell them used for more than a scratched up one. i am very disappointed in hp and almost dont want to send it back and loose it for another week just to get it back without anything being done again i am almost certain they would re0image the hard drive again and send it back since they didnt even do that the second time. okay back on topic is there anything anyone has heard t fix this so i dont have to send it in again. any help is appreciated

Intel! They make processors and a variety of motherboard hardware, but they seem to have a devil of a time making decent drivers. Particularly with their wireless NICs. Lately I’ve noticed a number of errors springing from the Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 AGN family of wireless adapters. They seem to cause random bluescreen errors on Windows Vista systems. Fortnuately, there is a viable workaround:
-Right click on Computer and select Manage.
-After Computer Management opens up, go to Device Manager.
-In Device Manager, expand the Network Adapters category.
-Right-click on “Intel (R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN” and select Properties.
-In Properties, go to the Power Management tab.
-Under the Power Management tab, make sure that “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” is unchecked.
Apparently, the driver for the WiFi Link 5100 can’t properly handle the device going to sleep, and pulls down the whole system. Hopefully Intel will fix this in future driver updates. Until then, this workaround will have to do.

Lenovo G580(20157) [Win 7] Bluetooth problems??

I have a lenovo G580(20157) which has a BCM4313 wireless chipset which supports both WiFi as well as Bluetooth, (citation here: Broadcom Chipsets)
However I can't use the Bluetooth capability of my chipset.....
I tried downloading drivers from the Lenovo website(Drivers Main Page), but it would say no driver found at the end of the installation!!
Also I downloaded Lenovo Energy Managment, and it only shows WiFi (here is a screenshot)
I also tried downloading Broadcom Bluetooth Solution but itis stuck at detetcting device:
P.S: I have a new windows 7 installation...Thanks
Solved!

hi ArchKudo,
Looking at the G580 parts (page 102 of the HMM), the Broadcom BCM4313 that the machine uses is a Wi-Fi only card .
- Link to picture
- Sample item (BCM4313 with Bluetooth)
- Sample item (BCM4313 Wi-FI only)
This may explain why you only see the Wi-Fi settings when you press Fn+F5, In this case, you may need to use a usb bluetooth adapter (like this item) to enable bluetooth functionality on the machine.

Solution to rfkill wireless problems w/ IdeaPad S12

I'm a new owner of a Via-based IdeaPad S12, and I've had some trouble getting the included Broadcom BCM4312 802.11 adapter to work in Linux.
I'm running Debian Lenny, and I have tried the latest stable kernel (linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 version 2.6.26-21lenny4) and the latest kernel from backports.org (linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.3-686 version 2.6.32-9~bpo50+1). I've tried the b43 driver (with firmware from package b43-fwcutter 1:011-5), the proprietary Broadcom "wl" driver, and ndiswrapper with the XP drivers that Lenovo makes available for download at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/.
With b43, I'd get this from the kernel (either upon "ip link set eth-wlan up", or "iwlist scan", or starting wpasupplicant--I don't remember which):
b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/ucode15.fw
b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/lp0initvals15.fw
b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/lp0bsinitvals15.fw
b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10)
b43-pci-bridge 0000:02:00.0: PCI: Disallowing DAC for device
b43-phy0: DMA mask fallback from 64-bit to 32-bit
b43-phy0: Radio hardware status changed to DISABLED
b43-phy0: Radio turned on by software
b43-phy0: The hardware RF-kill button still turns the radio physically off. Press the button to turn it on.
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth-wlan: link is not ready
And with b43, "rfkill list" would indicate that the radio was enabled in software but disabled in hardware. "wl" and ndiswrapper would fail similarly (but without indicating that the problem had anything to do with a kill switch). I've tried flipping the hardware killswitch and pressing Fn+F5 in all cases (F5 has a wireless icon on it).
As a last resort to verify that the wireless or kill switch wasn't broken at the hardware level, I restored my backup of Windows and tried wireless in Windows. It only worked after hitting Fn+F5 and enabling wireless in the dialog box that Lenovo Energy Management pops up. After doing this, the wireless works great under Linux with the b43 driver.
I hope this helps some other frustrated Linux IdeaPad owners. I've spent at least a good 16-24 hours on this issue.
If you don't have Windows installed anymore, and don't have a backup, then install Windows again, and download the WLAN driver and Lenovo Energy Management from http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/, in order to enable wireless on your unit. And get in touch with Lenovo, politely encouraging them to have their engineers to work with the b43 developers to make sure that Linux wireless works out of the box as it does for Windows.
