Hibernate drains battery 20% per day - X301 Windows 7

I have an X301 2777 CTO with the factory larger battery. SSD Running Windows 7. All Windows patches up to date. All BIOS and drivers up to date. Reinstalled Power Management. When I put the laptop into hibernate it drains the battery at a rate of about 20% per day. The machine behavior is that of Hibernate and not Sleep.
I have an open support case but w/o a resolution as yet.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Lenovo ask me to download several new drivers and install them which I did. No Help. Then I took the battery completely out to see if it held a charge for a few days to rule out the battery as the problem. The Battery held the charge when it was out of the machine.   Called back Lenovo and was now told 25% a day loss was norm for hibernate mode. I said not true with all the ThinkPad’s in the past and perhaps he is thinking of sleep mode.
Unbelievably, and I had been very polite, I was told “well if you don’t believe me” and he hung up!
I called back later that day and was told by a nice lady that I was correct and hibernate should not drain the battery anywhere near the extent I was experiencing.   I was promised a Level 2 Tech would call back. Still waiting.
I’m a fair size ThinkPad buying company but they are alienating me.
I am also going to try shutting the machine down as opposed to hibernate to see if the battery drains when the machine has shut down but the battery is still in place.
Would like any input from other x301 users on this.   I will post if resolved -or if- not.

HT203124 That really *****, we have 4g, but poor signal outside cities, so it drains battery in 1 day! All other phones has 2g option,maybe it is time to switch to other os!

There may be nothing wrong with the phone. If the signal in your location is weak then the fault lies with the providers of that signal. Perhaps an alternate provider would help, even if the service costs more. Ultimately, in most countries it is the government that encourages the improvement of infrastructure.

Satellite A660 - Battery discharge per day in hibernation/shutdown

I submitted my Satellite A660 for troubleshooting after months of testing a battery discharge of 5+ percent/day in hibernation (4+ percent/day in shutdown). There is no noticable discharge when the battery is pulled out of the laptop. The discharge when the battery is inserted is much higher than previous laptops I've owned, but Toshiba has said that this is normal.
I was wondering if I could poll people for what they have found to be normal (versus what they have found to be problematic).
Thanks for any anecdotes.

Excuse the name change, my initial ID is no longer recognized.
I tried a simple search on this forum for "hibernation battery discharge" with no quotes. Only a handful of hits, none relevant.
I did an advanced search on this forum for "hibernation AND battery" with no quotes. None for this year, and nothing relevant for last year.
Would you be able to provide a link to the relevant discussions that you found? As well, for my edification, could you please provide the search expression, forum, and timeframe?
Thanks.

Firefox 3.6.12 is deleting all my profile data once per day on Windows Vista. 3.6.11 worked fine.

09.11.2010 After an autoupdate to 3.6.12 Firefox asks for profile when starting up. Firefox does not recognize existing profiles in the correct profile directory. Bookmarks etc are copied to a new profile and the new profile taken into use.
11.11.2010 Firefox starts up by asking for profile. All previous profile data has been deleted. The only thing remaining is a > 46MB big urlclassifier3.sqlite file in the local\firefox\profiles directory. All bookmarks, cookies and other information has been deleted from all previously defined profiles(!!!)

This can happen if you have uninstalled a Firefox version and placed a check mark to remove personal data. That will delete every profile folder listed in profiles.ini, also from other versions.

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
HELP!

The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.

IP4S Battery Drain Was 8% hour. Restored As NEW PHONE Via iTunes Battery Drain Now 1% per hour!

RE: iPhone 4S rapid battery drain out-of-the-box.
I had been experiencing a battery drain of 8% per hour.
Apple's software update did not make it better!
I then restored my iPhone 4S as a NEW phone and now my battery is draining at 1% per hour with all settings at maximum for battery drain.
Apple could have done more to make millions of customers happier customers.

Thanks for sharing. Restoring the phone first from backup then as new is one of the standard troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide. Too bad more people like you don't realize this.

Turning on Push - battery drains at 1% per minute

I've read quite a lot of forums on the 'myth' that push drains battery life. However, no matter what it says, I can't deny that when I turn on push, my battery drains at 1% per minute and the iphone gets really hot. I'm using the 3gs running 3.0.1 os. Under the push settings, I've only set push on for one or two apps to try to keep the battery life drain less, however this still doesn't seem to work.
It would be really helpful if someone could help me with this as I'd really like to have push on but obviously not at the ridiculous battery trade off.
Thank you!

The catch 22 you will be in is this...
Our normal suggestion to correct a battery issue will be to either cycle the battery and then if that doesn't work to do a full restore using "set up as new iPhone"... Doing a restore does NOT allow you to restore to an OLD OS version like 3.0.1, so if the battery cycling does not work for you, you will be forced to 3.1.2 (which is not at all a bad thing)
Battery cycle is done by allowing iPhone to fully drain, to the point it shuts itself off...then charge via wall outlet to 100%, then allow to drain fully and shut itself off... doing this 2-3 times usually works to correct battery issues... if not then the restore is needed and that will move you to 3.1.2...
I have two iPhones on 3.1.2 and have no issues... and there have been several bug fixes since 3.0.1

IMac goes to sleep/hibernate multiple times per day after installing Maverick OS. I have to shutdown and power back on.

iMac goes to sleep/hibernate multiple times per day after installing Maverick OS. Moving the mouse or hitting the spcaebar will not wake the pc.
I have to shutdown and power back on. My iMac was purchased in January 2011 and no longer in warrenty. The energy saver 'sleep' and 'display' settings are set at 10 minutes. When I changed to 'never' the machine got very hot and I changed the settings back. I have checks by: Put hard disk to sleep when possible and wake for network access. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Battery is draining twice in a day on iPhone 4S post iOS 7.1 upgrade

Battery is draining twice in a day on iPhone 4S post iOS 7.1 upgrade

I'm having a similar issue with my 4s. I did the update yesterday, restoring as a new phone. That afternoon, immediately after finishing the update, the battery was draining at about 1% a minute, with the only usage being listening to an audio book through my bluetooth headset for about 15 minutes, and simply carrying it in my purse for about 30 minutes.
I tweaked all the usual battery maximizing settings, charged it back to 100% and it was behaving normally the rest of the evening. I did not charge overnight, and it was at 47% this morning -- typical for when I forget to put on airplane mode and it spends the night searching in vain for a cell signal.
While driving to an appointment I charged it on my car charger. It got to 97%. While waiting at my appointment for ~ an hour I listened to an audiobook through the headseat and played a couple of games. Battery got down to 5% in that time, and the phone was hot. Not excessively so, I don't think, but definitely way above normal.
Given that I installed the 7.1 update by restoring as a new phone from the get-go, would your recommend I do it over, or try something else?
Thanks.

Yoga 2 Pro Draining Battery Fast in Sleep Mode

I have a new Yoga 2 Pro with i7 processor. It works great and normal battery life is about 4-5 hours. But with a fully charged battery, i can close the lid at night triggering sleep mode, and wake up to an almost dead battery.
Why is this happening? It's really dissapointing and I'm going to return it if I can't find a fix. I'm on the latest BIOS with all current updates. I am not using Hibernate mode.
Closing the lid shoud not cause battery to continue to drain at normal usage rates.
I'm hoping it's the WINDOWS 8 software but I've tried all the settings I can find.

the OP said battery was draining overnight because y2p was not going into sleep mode. then op changed some settings and, as i understand it, now his y2p does not drain battery overnight because he pushes power button and it goes into hibernate mode before closing lid.
I would like to raise the issue of the difference between hibernate and sleep mode. I too find that if i put my y2p (and my mbp-bootcamp) into hibernate mode then my battery does not drain overnight. however, both my laptops drain the battery overnight in sleep mode... anyone have clear understanding of this? i've look at many articles on the web, but haven't found any that specifically indicate how fast sleep mode should drain batteries. I think my gf's mba-OSx also drains overnight in sleep mode and OSx doesn't even have a hibernate option (correct me if i'm wrong)...

Battery, 10% per hour?

I have an iphone 4, have had it since about a month after they came out. I was always unimpressed with the battery life but now it's gotten worse. Now, I know I sit here and use it frequently, but 10% of battery life per hour seems a little extreme. And that's just if I let it sit there. If I'm using it heavily, then it's dead within 4-5 hours. By heavily I mean manually checking email (two accounts, yahoo and gmail), checking facebook, a couple apps, I make a phone call about once a month, not kidding there. I get phone calls throughout the day but I never answer them, let them go to voicemail. I take pictures, probably one a day I'd say on average. When my son plays a game or two, angry birds and cut the rope, for like 20-30 minutes, I've seen the battery drop like 15% in that time span. I keep the brightness on full. I hate how dim it looks otherwise. I use wi-fi at home, bluetooth is off. The battery has gone down by 3% just in the time it took to write this so far (10 minutes maybe?) and that's only because the phone has been active as I received a couple text messages.
I charge it to full every night and lately I've had to recharge in the middle of the day as well.
I have read many threads here and on other sites that say to recreate Exchange email accounts (I don't have any) restore as a new phone, and complete a full chartge cycle by letting the phone completely drain and then recharge it without interruption. I've done all these things and yet the battery life remains terrible.
I see some comments from people saying they can go 2 to 3 days without having to recharge and it makes me wonder if they keep their phone in airplane mode lol. I just think it's time for me to replace the battery, but before I do I wanted to check one more time to see if someone had any magic cures they could share. Oh I'm on the latest firmware and on AT&T.
Thanks.

Update, I've noticed that my usage and standby times show the same amount, currently at 2 hours and 43 minutes, my battery is now down to 78% and I have not used my phone much at all today, just letting it sit there. I have killed everything that was running in the background and still, the usage shows the same amount for standby and usage times. I do not believe this is a hardware issue, it is more likely a software issue.
There is clearly something wrong. Note, however, that it is impossible to kill everything running in background. Killing apps in the Quick Launch ribbon does not necessarily kill the background process (it does for 3rd party apps, but not built in apps, which relaunch their background processes immediately). Some app queued data to be sent, and the send failed, but the app or the lower levels of the network protocol keeps trying to send anyway.
As you mentioned, the most common app that can do this is the email app, especially with if you have an Exchange account, but any push account can do it (whether push is on or off). So can Ping, the Apple store apps and Game Center. And ANY app that sends data can queue it.
