N78 - No time display in power saver mode?

I am really frustrated: i just bought the N78, and it's really good, but this little bit of detail is bugging me seriously!
Is it really not present? Or is it that i cant find it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's not an issue that needs fixing, it is normal behaviour for the N78 and in line with it's predecessor the N73.
On some models the display blanks completely to save battery power. The N78 and N73 both act in this way that is why those two models have blinking lights to show that they are on. Most models are made using different chipsets and don't go totally blank and display the time instead.
Personally I prefer phones that go totally blank with a blinking LED than those that display the time.
On the N78 all it takes is a short press of the power button to light the screen to see the clock when the keys are locked or any key when they aren't.

  • Force External Dell Display Into Power Save Mode

    How do I set up my MacBook Pro to send a video signal to my external Dell monitor to tell it to go into Power Save Mode when the MacBook Pro goes to "Sleep" (after the Preference set default of 14 minutes)?

    I've tried a factory reset on the monitors. My monitors sleep settings are fine and they wake up from being asleep perfectly. As of this morning my little trick of unplugging them and swapping connections has stopped working. Now, when I swap cables the video card automatically assigns the primary video output to one of the monitors and keeps the other one asleep. very strange. So when I unplug the mini video adaptor from the dvi cord and then place that same cord in the native dvi output on the video card the card automatically reassigns the primary video output to that channel. So no matter how much witching I do I always end up with the system acting like I have a stretched desktop but with only the left display working while the right one is asleep. It's time to give apple support a call.

  • Font size in Power Saver mode on Nokia 3110 Classi...

    When 3110 Classic goes to Power Saver mode date and time numbers  are very small and hard to read. Is there any way to increase the (date/time) numbers in Power Saver mode ? Thanks !

    No, it is not possible to change that on the 3110c.

  • W520 - now changes to "projector only" whenever display turns off in power save mode

    I have my W520 in a dock with an external monitor. The display is configured to Extend - the external monitor is primary, and the desktop extends onto the W520 screen. I don't have a screen saver. I turn off the display after 30 minutes of inactivity. Until recently both the laptop and monitor screens would turn off after 30 minutes, and then both resume when I moved the mouse or pressed a key.
    Recently, the system has started changing to "Projector Only" when the display turns off. After resuming from power save mode, only the external monitor activates, and the W520 screen is disabled. I have to use Fn-F6 to switch back to "Extend" to re-activate the laptop screen.
    I have rebooted and re-saved the power plan.
    Why has this happened, and how do I fix it?

    Hi, timg11
    I have a few questions so that I may gain a better grasp of this issue:
    1) What is your machine type and model? You can find this information on the bottom of your machine. It should be in format XXXX-XXX.
    2) What is your operating system?
    3) Does this issue occur is the computer is not in the docking station? (Please try if you haven't already).
    Thanks in advance,
    Adam

  • 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!!

  • Macbook pro goes into power save mode with dell sp2208wfp monitor.

    I have a macbook pro and am trying to connect it to a dell sp2208wfp monitor, I am using a hdmi cord and it goes straight to power save mode. My mac works on my roommates monitor and his PC works on my monitor but my mac doesn't work on my monitor. I've read the other forums and have found nothing. One guy suggested plugging the mac into a power source still nothing, any solutions before I try and sell this thing on craigslist?

    Had the same issue a few months ago when I tried connecting to external monitor, it is only possible to run external displays from a Macbook Pro while the power cable is attached, if you try and connect to external display without having the charger attached the external display will flash your desk top for a second and then your Macbook Pro will go to sleep.  Hence connect your charger every time you wish to connect to external display, its not a problem with your Macbook Pro, it's just the way of Apple. Hope that helps.

  • Monitor enters power save mode on start up

    PC keeps crashing in game, after it crashes it shows the message DVI power save mode on my monitor. Sometimes it even crashes on boot.
    It all started when i tried to update my bios with live update(yes I know wrong choice, after I did this is read all the wrong things about live update on google)
    So i flashed my bios with an usb drive to 1.8, but it's still crashing
    Setup:
    MOBO: Msi Z87-g45
    CPU: Intel I7-4770K
    GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 4GB Dual SC w/ ACX Cooler
    memory: Corsair Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9 4x4gb
    PSU: corsair HX750
    So I tried everything I could read about this problem on google, I even rma'ed my gpu and it still crashes.
    Anyone that can help me? or is the board bricked and should I rma it?

    Nope,  didn't do an oc,  sometimes after restarting several times i can run something. Like a game but after some time it freezes and gives a gray screen with 'dvi power saving mode'  after that nothing works,  no caps/numlock.
    I was thinking it was the gpu,  so i rma'ed it but when i had it back,  it gave the same thing.
    I thing it's the board,  pci slots or something
    Edit: it doesn't freeze with integrated gpu so it must be something with the slots?  Evga tested my gpu in another system.

  • U2312HM and second monitor = Entering Power Save Mode

    So, my monitor has not been able to turn on for about a week now. It shows that it's getting power, but after 3 seconds I get the message that it is going into power save mode. I am able to press some buttons on the monitor and a message pops up that there is no signal and to try typing or moving the mouse which doesn't work. I've attempted to change the input source which only leads to "No DisplayPort Cable - The display will go into Power Save Mode in 5 minutes.".  I have tried a separate monitor which is extremely less powerful and I get the same message that it's entering power save mode. Could this be a fried video card or what's happening here?

    Thanks for the reply Chris.  I do have both DVI and VGA out ports and I will be testing that today.  Not sure if this has anything to do with my issue or not but I might as well mention it.  I have 4 2 GB ram sticks which came with my pc.  I purchased two new 2 gb ram sticks due to some memory issues I was having.  The problem is, the two new ram sticks I had were not the correct size but I attempted to use them anyway.  Now prior to inserting these new ram sticks I cleaned my pc using air duster and a light suction vacuum cleaner, not sure if I got all of the dust.  Once I found that the ram sticks were not the right size I then reinserted my older ram sticks and this is when the monitor issue occurred.  A couple people had mentioned that this sounds like a bad video card, but could inserting wrong ram sticks affect the motherboard and in turn mess with the videocard?
    Also, roughly 3 weeks prior to the monitor issue, the lights on the side of my case are generally dark blue (but can not confirm if this is normal as I rarely pay attention to it.)  The only reason I bring this up is because the lights began to turn red, then a sortof clear light color progressively throughout the next couple of weeks, eventually not turning on at all.  Again, I've never really noticed the lights on my pc to begin with so this could not mean a thing.

  • Dell 2407 Monitor entering power save mode immediately!!! :(

    I have a Dell 24" 2407 Monitor hooked up to my 24" iMac (white 2.16GHz core 2 duo). Problem free for the past couple of years, until recently, my monitor keeps going into power save (when the iMac screen is active.
    It's connected via DVI, and the funny thing is, is that the iMac still detects the monitor, but it's in power save mode.
    I plugged the monitor into the MacBook Pro and it worked fine. So I'm guessing it's either the Mini DVI to DVI converter is stuffed OR something is wrong with my iMac. I'll try another dvi cable, otherwise will have to go to shudder VGA until I get a new Mini DVI to DVI converter. Unless anyone else has an idea as to what's going on?

    How about if you open System Preferences Displays pane Display tab... Click on +Gather Windows+ on the display that is working. Then try adjusting things like resolution and +color depth+ on the non-working display to see if that has any effect.
    Have you tried disconnecting the power cord on the display for a few minutes and reconnecting it? Does the display have an on-screen menu, and a command to reset the settings on the display to default?
    A few more tests, if it still does not work.
    Create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    Log out and log in to the new account. In the new account, does the display work or not work properly? If it works in the new account, that would indicate some problem in your regular user account.
    Also try starting up from your Mac OS X installation disc. Does the display work when you are starting up from a different system? If so, that would indicate some problem in your current installed system.

  • "Entering Power Save Mode"

    Hi guys. I have an HP desktop and a Dell SR2320L Monitor. It was working fine until a few months back. I was out of town, came back last week and now every time I start my PC it just stays there "Entering Power Save Mode". I tried almost everything researching a solution for the problem but just won't work. Is there a way to check if the cable is the problem or the monitor or anything else? Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
    Ankur

    Hi Ankur,
    Monitor may enter in power saving mode when it does not get the enough power for its operations. If monitor is the cause, you may try to re-seat the monitor cable and ensure the connections are secure. You may also try to swap the ends of cable and check if the issue persists. Another step you may try is to use a good known cable and see if the issue persists. If it does, as a last resort you may try to reset monitor to factory defaults. For more information on this, you may refer to manual of monitor: http://bit.ly/10ErgRX
    Another possible cause of the same issue might be video drivers of your computer. You might need to uninstall and re-install the video drivers and may check the power options in operating system. You might need to check the HP website for download and installation of video drivers (relevant to the system model).
    Please share the findings. 

  • PowerMac G5 hangs after going into screen saver power save mode

    I have a PowerMac G5 and it's been working fine, but as of late has been hanging. I had a couple of external disks on the machine ( Maxtor OneTouch II and a OneTouch III). I recently added two more OneTouch III and stripped the three OneTouch III's together in a RAID set. I'm wondering if that is causing the hangs, but I've also seen it hang without the RAID so I'm not convinced it's the RAID.
    Anyway, I can't figure out what's causing it to hang, but it seems to hang at some point after the screen saver runs and then the screen goes into power saver mode. It's not hung right when it shuts down the monitor, but at some point after that.
    When it gets in this mode, I can't remotely login using ssh and I can't seem to wake it up. What I end up having to do is to hold the power button down for several seconds until the machine powers off.
    In an attempt to see what's going on, I set the OS X monitor power save mode to "never", but I don't think I left it that way long enough and I never saw it hang.
    Does anyone have any debugging tips that would help me identify the culprit?

    I've been having the same troubles lately. Seem
    since the JAVA update. It hangs completely after the
    screen is shut down. Every morning I have to reboot
    with the power button.
    I am also joining the crowd with this issue. I have a 15" Powerbook G4 that has acted normally until recently. Not sure exactly when it started, but about the same time as the recent updates. Similar behavior to the previous forum posts.
    When I manually put the laptop to sleep it freezes up before it sleeps and the multi-language reboot warning comes up. This also happens if it is set to auto-sleep after xx minutes.
    When I try to wake it up, the screen is black and the power light shows it is on and it never unfreezes or I get the reboot message.
    I have tried everything I can think of to troubleshoot this. I just re-installed the 10.4.8 update over the exisiting one (using an external boot drive made with SuperDuper) and it still happens... BUT when I put the laptop to sleep with the startup drive being external, it seemed to behave properly. I can't figure this out since the external clone was made only minutes earlier from the laptop... and it works. I have zapped PRAM, and done the battery removal / power button reset.
    Below is the "report" I have been getting - and sending to Apple. They must be getting tired of the many I have sent.
    Any thoughts out there?
    Thanks.

  • New LG Monitor Screen Image Keeps Shifting a few pixels left and right / goes into power save mode

    I just purchased a new LG Computer Monitor from Best Buy today and hooked it up to my PowerMac computer. Shortly after setting it up, the entire screen image started sporadically shifting left and right a few pixels. And then, at seemingly random times, it'll shut itself down, going into power save mode. I checked the cables to make sure they were secure and they seem to be. Could there be some sort of interference that's causing it? Or would it be the graphics card? My computer is only a couple years old. Please help!

    Do you have another computer you can plug the monitor into to test?

  • Analog Clock in Power Saver mode?

    When the E71 is in a power saver mode (black blank screen) with the D-pad button glowing in a slow periodic pattern, you can press the D-pad button and a large digital clock showing the time appears. How can I change that to an analog clock instead?

    No, it is not possible to change that on the 3110c.

  • Printer gets frozen in the power saver mode

    I leave my printer on all the tiime.  When I go to print, if it has gone into the Power Saver Mode it will not get out of it.  It is frozen.  So far the only thing I can do is unplug the printer in the back.  Can I just turn it off with the power button each time I am finished printing?  It's a real pain to get to the back to unplug it.

    You need to keep the power saver of if you want it to vibrate on silent. The power save mode doesnt save alot of battery. It only makes the screen brightness lowest and turns screen of faster. Also the 3G will be change to Gsr since it doesnt consume battery so much. Thats basicly what i does

  • Power saver mode

    How do I by-pass the power saver mode?  My all -in-one goes into it whenever I am not printing a lot.  Is there an easy way to bypass that or do I have to unplug power cord and restart the all-in-one every time?

    Some machines have the option to turn energy save mode off and others don't.
    What model of printer do you have?
    I do work for HP Printer Support, however my comments/advice are mine alone.
