High power consumption after update

I recently updated all my packages (it had been a few weeks since I had done this last) and I've noticed my power consumption has jumped dramatically. Before I would average around 13.0W and now the baseline seems to be about 18.5W. I use laptop-mode-tools.
I'm happy to post the output of any command but didn't want to spam as I'm not sure what would be valuable.
I have looked at powertop, but without being able to compare to the past I'm not sure how to diagnose this. Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Thinkpad T410: Linux alpha 3.11.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 27 07:35:36 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It's possible I suppose that it is related to audio codec power management. After I upgraded I had to add myself to the audio group to get sound working again. I also noticed snd_hda_intel is always pretty high up in powertop.
Finally, I use laptop-mode-tools, and it appears audio codec power mgmt isn't working by default. I can manually select it to turn it on. I also saw this output in journalctl:

Higher power consumption after suspend

Hello,
It seems that my power consumption is significantly higher after resuming from a suspend than before. I suspend with the systemctl command. Measuring the battery usage (with powertop or looking at /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/power_now on my laptop), I get the following numbers :
- 6-7 W before suspend
- 10-11 W after
Those number are quite stable in time, in particular the higher consumption stays until shutdown. I have tried looking at the power decomposition of powertop, and it seems that the backlight display consumption is indeed higher, although I keep the same luminosity level. I tend to consider the decomposition usage by powertop as a guess estimate anyway, so I am not sure whether this means anything.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue, or how to investigate further on?
Cheers,
Guillaume

Have a look at powertop before and after suspend. I noticed that some power saving options get turned off when suspending. I don't have a solution though.

[solved] Nautilus - high power consumption

Hello,
Can someone reproduce a very high power consumption with nautilus?
It keeps running although I have closed all windows and causes an enormous power consumption. This is what powertop reports:
4.67 W 942.2 ms/s 0.00 Process nautilus --new-window /home/orschiro/Downloads
I am running nautilus 3.8.2-1.

Hung thumbnail process? Can you try disabling thumbnails in Nautilus and see if this happens? Close all Nautilus' processes after making the change.

My ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to computer which doesn't recognize it. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died. I tried to stop the upload and am afraid it 'crashed'

My first genteration ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to the authorized computer which won't recognize it - does not acknowledge a device is plugged in. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died. I tried to stop the upload midway and am afraid it 'crashed'

Try putting it into recovery mode.
Connect iPad to your computer via USB while it's turned on.
Open iTunes
Hold the iPad's Sleep/Wake switch (power button on the top of the iPad) down until the "power off" slider appears.
Power off the iPad completely (wait for the progress spinner to disappear).
Hold the Sleep/Wake switch AND the Home button down for a full 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds (the second time you'll see the Apple logo on the screen) release the Sleep/Wake switch while still holding the Home button.
Continue to hold the Home button for another 10 seconds until the USB connection image appears on the iPad's screen, then release the Home button.
A pop-up message will appear on iTunes saying it has detected an iPad in recovery mode, you must restore...
Click on the "Restore" button and the process will begin.

Iphone5 very high battery consumption after ios7 upgrade

Hi all,
i've upgraded my iphone5 to ios7. Since then the power consumption is very high. A full charged battery is empty over night (no apps running in backgroud) so the iphone is off in the morning.
Maybe a special reboot helps, but I don't know how todo?
Any ideas?
THX in advance!
Robby

btw: here's the ios battery thread, it did work for me after some updates and stopped "ranting" - so we may need to be patient, since apple NEVER tells something - I assume some weeks or 1 month, I am using a mophie battery / cover which helps a bit till then.. https://discussions.apple.com/message/21617916#21617916

[Solved] High power consumption of eth0

Hi everyone,
i successfully installed Arch on my new Acer Travelmate P653-MG a few months ago with the Gnome DE. Everything worked fine until a few weeks ago, when i discovered a really hard power regression due to my network interface. Before i had a solid 12 W of power consumption (without that much of finetuning), but afterwards my power consumption jumped to 23-25 W. I have attached two screenshots of my current powertop output:
http://i.imgur.com/8tpSnXf.png
http://i.imgur.com/CaVg61A.png
Unfortunately i can't quite say when this regression occured, so as to point to a certain update. My first guess was, this had to be kernel specific, but the downgrade from kernel 3.7 to 3.6 brought no results. I must admit after hours of searching google, the arch wiki and the forum here, i'm at a complete loss. I have discovered no one with a similar problem.
If anyone can help me in this matter, your help would be very much appreciated!
My current kernel parameters are: quiet splash nmi_watchdog=0 acpi_osi=linux acpi_backlight=vendor
Please tell me any outputs i can provide which could be of help to you.
Greetings

Thanks for your suggestions, but i was finally able to figure it out myself. linux-lts was unfortunately no option for me, as i want to use bumblebee. But the direction, this pointed me to was good. It seems one of the kernel updates broke my bumblebee package, so the power management didnt work and the card was constantly powered on. This was nothing new, but my powertop completely messed it up, by adding this additional power consumption to eth0. Funny enough, this power consumption even disappeared, when i unloaded eth0. After deleting powertops saved results and recalibrating it, it now shows up all components power usage correctly.
Thus i mark this thread as SOLVED.

IPhone will not power on after update

Dear Apple,
I currently have your iPhone 3GS which I received approximately 18 months ago. However, after updating the OS Software the device has decided to not power on. After speaking to your Apple Support Centre, they booked me an appointment at Apple Bentall Centre, Kingston, London, UK.
My device was looked at by a representative named Vanessa Baldwin who claimed that the device would not power on and that seeing as it is out of warranty, the only option I had was to replace it costing £139. I then asked to speak to the Store Manager Leigh Baigent, who reiterated Vanessa Baldwin's suggestion. He also added that the device would not power on due to a fault on the motherboard and had nothing to do with the battery. I proceeded to explain to your staff that I would expect a £400 iPhone to last longer than 18 months and that under The Sale of Goods Act 1979, a retailer is responsible for the items they sell for up to six years in England and Wales regardless of warranty. Your staff expressed a blank look towards me as if I spoke a foreign language and dismissed my claims.
I am therefore making formal contact with Apple directly to sort the matter.
Any help would be appreciated, please do not give me a story about warranty / insurance guidelines
I look forward to your response.

I would probably advise you to e-mail, or make contact by phone, rather than making a complaint on the Support communities page.
I hope your lucky in succesfully getting a new iPhone however

Can't get rid of my high power consumption (Thinkpad X60 Tablet)

This is really driving me nuts. On Windows 7, I can achieve a power consumption of around 11-12W (with moderate web surfing usage over WLAN and full screen brightness, just Aero turned off).
On Arch, I can't get below 13W *ever* with full screen brightness, even without WLAN and any kind of computer usage besides running X11. And normal moderate web surfing usage (without Flash, mind you) brings it up to at least 17W.
The reason for this, I believe, is a really high number of wakeups from idle. powertop shows me at least 40 wakeups per second even when I don't have anything running besides X11. If I have Firefox, Thunderbird and Pidgin running, this climbss to at least 80 wakeups per second. Powertop shows the main cause for the wakeups in both cases to be "acpi" and "extra timer interrupt", as well as "Reschedulin interrupts". With those three applications running, there is additionally a high usage of "hrtimer_start_range_ns (tick_sched_timer)" and "iwl3945" (well, I guess the latter figures for internet applications).
I'm running laptop-mode-tools for power management, btw.
Anyone got some idea of what causes those idle wakeups, and how I might be able to fix it? I don't see why Windows 7 should be better than Arch here, the bloated monstrum it is...
Last edited by Natanji (2010-02-06 13:40:58)

The issue with hrtimer_start_range_ns is existing for a while. Unfortunately it isn't fixed until today. There is an entry in the kernel bugtracker http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14424
I think this is the main reason for the short battery life of my Samsung NC10 . If you google for it you will find numerous posting in bugtrackers of various distributions but no one seems to really care or know how to fix this?

[SOLVED] Huge power consumption after kernel upgrade.

Dear All,
I have recently bought the new lenovo thinkpad X1 equipped with a Core I5 processors and 4GB of RAM.
I am quite satisfied with this machine except for the fact that the fan is extremely loud (but perhaps a bios upgrade will fix problem).
Now my problem:
When I first installed Arch (first days of August) I ran powertop and the power consumption was around 10 Watts when idle with wifi card turned off.
Now, after some upgrades, the power consumption raises to 18W in idle and consequently the battery lasts less than 2h.
Here my current configuration:

I have also tried to disable most of the running daemons and unload some modules, but I have never got less than 14/15W when idle, which in my opinion is definitely too much!
As far as I'm concerned, the kworker process is responsible most of the wakeups.
Any ideas?

enabling it by default in 3.0 caused regressions for some people, so it was
disabled. Hopefully Intel figures it out, and we can switch it back on by

Dramatically raised power consumption after OS upgrade

Hello,
I have model 8820, and after I upgraded OS version to 4.5
using this sw: 8820M_PBr4.5.0_rel75_PL2.7.0.66_A4.5.0.52_Orange_Slovakia.exe
power consumption of my BB raised dramatically (it is 1 day between charging instead of 6 days with previous OS version)
also when I use BB regularly appears (each ~3 minutes) wait cursor for ~2 seconds
Can anybody help with this?
thanks

This is very unusual from 6 days to 1 day!!! It should not be as such.
From where did you receive the OS? Is it from your carrier's OS download site?

Has anyone experienced graphical problems and high power consumption while hibernating after upgrading to Mavericks?

Since I've upgraded to OS 10.9 my Macbook Pro 2.4GHz started doing strange things. It consumes large amounts of Power. The battery draines much faster than before in normal usage and even worse... it consumes quite a bit power while its alseep. A fully charged battery looses over night (hibernating) 30% of its capacity.
Secondly... the Mac takes ages to startup. Opening Apps and Aplications takes longer than under OS 10.8
Worst though is the grphical issue. My MacBook keeps on giving me funny patterns aroud openend windows and Ikons. A restart fixes the problem for a while, but it keeps comig back more and more frequently. Here is a screenshot:
Has anyone else come acorss these problems. Any sugestions what to do?!

Doesn't matter if the symptoms don't match. You've got an affected machine, and your graphics card could easily be in the early stages of failure. You definitely need to get it checked out by Apple.
Regarding the battery, some people are claiming battery problems with Mavericks, but I haven't seen any evidence of that. My machine's battery life is the same as it was before the upgrade. My guess would be that the sufferers, such as yourself, have other issues, such as a coincidentally failing battery, third-party software incompatible with Mavericks or a corrupt system. For all I know, the hardware problems you are likely having with your graphics card may be causing the card to draw too much power and reduce battery life. Since you need to get your machine looked at by Apple anyway, have them check the battery as well.

Extreme power consumption after upgade to10.3.1.1581

After upgrading tried new features regarding picking up phone and activating screen, battery would drain after 4 hours, of limited use. Checked device utilization, BlackBerry blend at 50% utilzation. Disabled the new features, and dimmed screen. Seems to be behaving normally now. Did not enable BlackBerry blend just went into app to see what it was.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
As with all updates, resource consumption will be unusually high for the first 48-72 hours, after which it normally settles down and behaves properly. Sometimes, a few hard reboots during that timeframe help it along. But, any judgement about resource consumption must be held off until after that initial settling in period has passed.
Good luck!

WRT54G v6 blinking power light after update

After performing an update for my WRT54G v6 to version 1.02.6 the power LED blinks fast. DMZ is off. All the others act normally, on when connected. I have looked in the fourms here, and online, and tried many things, all failed.
Pinging the router works. I always get a response.
I set my network adapter to 10mb half and static IP of 192.168.1.10 with gateway 192.168.1.1
Useing Linksys TFTP always fail with a "No response from server" (fyi: could NOT find that program here, linksys seemed to reorganized there FTP and left out tftp.exe out)
Using Windows "tftp -i 192.168.1.1 code.bin" always returns a "Timeout" within secounds.
Using OSX "tftp 192.168.1.1 \ binary \ rexmt 1 \ timeout 60 \ trace \ put /Users/djbloo/code.bin" always returns "sent WRQ <file=/User/djbloo/code.bin, mode=octet>"
Using DrayTek Firmware Upgrader on Windows closes after Sent button pressed
Using DrayTek Firmware Upgrader on OSX returns "No response"
Is there something im missing? Am I completly screwed?

Try to hard reset your for 1 minute(not 30 seconds) and see if that gives you a steady power light...
Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Also make sure that your computer is set to obtain IP automatically, disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page...
If pinging the router works(either with a static ip or automatically) then try to access your router set-up and configure it manually...
