N79 Power saver

Had this phone for a couple of days now and very impressed with it. But does anyone know how to make the powersave display stay on?
I set it to just display the date and time bar but after the light goes off the date and time bar only stays on for a few seconds then all i have is a blank screen.
I could get it to stay on with my N95 and quite a few nokia phones iv had before it.
thanks in advance for any help as i like to have this on so i can just have a quick look at the screen to see the time or any missed calls or texts without having to press buttons first.

Set it to white on black as this uses less power than black on white.
I think this is only true on OLED screens. LCD screens have the same power consumption regardless of what they're displaying since the brightness of a pixel is defined by the amplitude of an AC voltage across a cell with quasi-infinite resistance (i.e. which doesn't actually drain any current).

N79 Power Saver Theme Problem

I bought an N79 just last mounth.
it's a sweet phone but i have an small problem.;
when i choose a theme for power saver (Date, text, slide show , ....) it have been shown for only 2 seconds and disappear and screen goes to BLACK.
even i choose longest time for power Saver but it did not work.
anyone has problem like this? any idea?
Does NOKIA fix this problem in new firmware?
how can i report this BUG to NOKIA?
thanks
Nokia N79 4GB
SW Version: 32.001 RM-348 MEA

I really doubt this is a deliberate design. Most other Nokia phones have the same "power saver" which pops up when the phone is idle, and all of them - even current ones - are set up so that:
1) The power saver appears after its timeout
2) The backlight switches off after its own, independent timeout
3) The power saver remains shown regardless of the phone's current state
Why would the Power Saver have its own timeout and selection of Power Saver screens designed to show you the date and time, if it can only be shown for 2 seconds? I'm disappointed that Nokia support is disregarding this issue, but I assume it's more out of ignorance and a stock response than any insight into their plans for future firmware updates. Is there a "bug report" page or something we can use to ensure it's properly logged and not just dismissed?
Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

N79 power saver, can't animate

I just bought my N79 ..... quite cool ..... The problem is with the power saver. I like my phone to animate the clock after power svaer, It just go to black screen without the animation of the clock. Anyone know how? The other thing is in other model of nokia when you press the red cancel button in lock mode, the clock will also come out. In N79 can't do that... Ant tips on how?

I just want to comment on my view. How I see it, N79 is more interest in saving power and ready to jump online (internet). But there are so many problems like small graphic, slow connection and so on. For the same amount people could just get a notebook and internet is so much faster.... My suggestion is Nokia should concentrate more on handphone as a handphone. Camera is good. Animation should also be available, more priority comre to internet. A survey can tell how many people surf internet with handphone, very few. I hope future realease have the option of offline ( no internet) but with the option of a handphone of can call and receive call. After all is still a hanphone not a notebook. It would be nice to have a notebook with a camera and handphone features.
Thanks, I hope Nokia can do more survey on what customers want as they are the one buying.

Go to Solution.

if you are talking about that flashing light at the top of the phone near the front camera, then there's nothing to worry. its normal. its just to indicate that your phone is 'swithced on'. if you observe,when your phone goes into power saving mode, the screen is absolutely blank. its almost impossible to tell if the phone is on or not from a distance.
This is the prupose of that light.
Well....the good news is that you can turn it off if you don't like it.
I dont recollect how but it can be done via settings somewhere i guess.
List of Nokia phones I've used: 3310, 3315, 3200, 6600,3250, N73 ME, N95 8GB, 5800 XpressMusic and Nokia X6 16 GB (currently using this).

Toshiba Power saver may be the problem

My Satellite A665-S6050 has had all of the symptoms you read about in these forums;
crash, freeze, hung, locked, BSOD, Windows crash errors, etc.
I bought the laptop new a couple years ago and both love it and hate it when it exhibits
its freezing behavior. This is the intel I-3, 4 GB ram, Windows 7(64 bit) version. Really nice
when it's running normally.
I have watched and read through hundreds of posts throughout these forums since my purchase.
I have never sent the laptop back to Toshiba. Primarily because I've been able to force power off
then on, go to safe mode, schedule a disk scan on the next power up, reboots normally and I'm good
for who knows how long.
Following suggestions you can read in these forums, I have upgraded the Intel HD graphics display driver.
I install Windows updates every time they come available(auto update is enabled). I've updated the
Toshiba bios. I've updated Firefox every time it is available(my favorite browser). Updated java and
flash(again automatic updates). Some user settings that I've changed; I've disabled sleep mode(set it
to 'never' under 'advanced power settings) in every power scheme I have. I only use 'High Performance'
power scheme(plan). I have the setting for turning off the hard drive set to 'never'. My rational for doing
this is there is just too much going on under Windows 7, all the time. You never know what's running in the
background. Many times as the laptop freezes and or Windows tries it's best to recover, I get a strong feeling
that the hard drive has shut off! Especially, when Windows is trying to save a dump but can't because it can't
access hd0(hard drive)(I have to force power cycle off/on to recover).
This brings me to my current state of this troubleshooting saga. The last time the laptop froze, I was watching
streaming video in one Firefox window and had a slide show playing in another Firefox window(2 windows, not
2 tabs). Then in the lower right corner I get the Toshiba power saver notification that it is shutting down the
optical drive. It goes away on it's own in about 10 seconds. But immediately everything gets real slow until every
freezes. Windows tries to save a dump but can't. Windows tries to reboot itself but can't. Shows me a screen to
modify the boot list because the hd0 is not available. So, as so many times before I have to hold the power
button down for force power off. Wait a few, then power on, do my thing with safe mode, check disk, etc.
Power up and boots normally. Runs great for who knows how long. Right now as I type this, I have a audio CD
in my optical drive with Windows Media player set to 'replay' continuously. This I hope will prevent the 'Toshiba
power saver' from getting triggered because the optical drive is not idle and therefore won't shut off the hard
drive too! I have no idea how I can prove that 'Toshiba Power saver' is causing these freezes, crashes, lock ups,
etc. But at least if I can keep the optical drive in use and therefore prevent the 'power saver' from kicking in
maybe I can eliminate that as a possible cause of the freezes.
I am really disappointed to read so many Toshiba owners sending their computers to Toshiba service
hoping and praying for resolution but getting no satisfaction in the end. I love my Toshiba and I'll keep it.
I am a recreational user. Don't need to save power. When I use my computer, I want it to function as
powerful as possible until I intentionally perform a normal Windows shutdown.
My employer supplies me with a laptop (different brand). It has Intel I-5 chip, 3 GB ram Win XP Pro..
I run that computer full speed 9 -10 hours a day and I may have to reboot maybe once every other week.
Not bad considering the abuse I put it through. I would hate to have to rely on this Toshiba for work. I
don't think it could stay fully operational for that period of time.
Please Toshiba, tell me how I can help with the troubleshooting of this seriously pervasive problem on
so many of your computers. Is there an event log I can provide? Windows dump files(when they do get
saved)? Help me help you resolve this problem and satisfy hundreds of your customers.
Thank you in advance for your time.
Doug

Jerry,
It happened again this afternoon. This is the first time my system froze since the last time
I reported here in the forum. And just like I reported earlier, Toshiba Power Saver turned off
the optical drive power, I saw the pop-up in the lower right corner to notify me of the event.
I had Toshiba 'PC Health Monitor' running and minimized. I clicked on the icon to restore it
to the desktop. It displayed as expected. The hard drive graphic looked normal and spinning
as usual. I clicked on the graphic of the spinning hard drive and expected 'Power Options' to
display. Instead my desktop went away(all icons, system tray, system notification area, launch
pad, etc), everything gone. The graphic of the spinning hard drive stopped spinning. I tried a
CTL+ALT+DEL and got a new pop-up from Windows that it couldn't respond and I had 2 options;
press ESC or hold the power button down to force power and a shutdown. Which is what I eventually
did.
Powered up, went to safe mode, scheduled disk check on the next restart. Disk check runs and
finds no problem. System runs normally again.
As far as finding these events in the Windows logs using 'Event viewer', is not going to help.
I know exactly what time this all took place. I just can't find any event log showing that it took
place. There's a small gap in the time stamps just before the event until a few minutes after the
event. Then I see a mixture of 'errors' and 'information' events after the power on and restart
but nothing specifically addressing the hard drive before the restart.
I see an event log; "Previous shutdown was not expected". I'm sure that's not what your asking
to see. I don't know if it would be possible to trace the 'Toshiba Power Saver' but that may be
the only way I could prove my point that it is shutting off power to both the optical drive and
the hard drive at the same time.
Is there a way to disable or remove Toshiba Power Saver without causing a more serious problem?
Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
Doug.

My Andoid Devices wil not wake up my printer from Power Save Mode

I have an HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw istalled as a wireless network printer. I have various computers with XP and Windows 8 operating systems that wake up the printer from Power Save mode without problems. I also can print wirelessly from my Windows 8 phone. The problem arises when I try to print from my Android devices. I have installed the HP All-In-One Remote App from the Android Store and they seem to have installed correctly. They recognise the network printer, tell me that it is Power Save mode but are unable to wake it up. Can anyone help with this one please?
The Andoid version on the Tablet is 4.2.2
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello Jerends and thank you for your attention to my printer problem. My printer already has a fixed IP address so no need to go down that road. I managed to get around the problem by deleting the HP All in One App from my Android devices and replacing it with the HPePrint App. It's not perfect but does the job.
Thanks again.

In an iPhone 3GS (or 4G), can a user configure the WiFi power-save to extend battery life?

In an iPhone 3GS (or 4G when I upgrade), can a user configure the WiFi power-save operation to extend the battery life? For example: Can a user turn on/off WiFi power-save operation? Can a user specify WiFi sleep duration? Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

Yikes! Thanks, Templeton. Do WiFi app programmers have control over power-save settings? For example, can a first VoIP app be more energy-efficient than a second VoIP app?

Fatal Error when starting Power Saver on Tecra M9

When I try to start Power Saver on a Tecra M9 (21), I get a Fatal error; code: 0X51A.
I've tried various combinations of uninstalling, cleaning registry, rebooting, etc., but everytime I reinstall (version 7), I get the same fatal error.

Hi
You are speaking about the Power saver for XP? Am I right?
Please note that you have to install all drivers, tools and utilities in the right order!!!
The installation instruction should be checked and you should follow the guide lines.
Very important;
The common modules is a necessary tool to get all other Toshiba tools running properly. Furthermore there is a power saver driver and utility. The driver must be installed before the utility!!!
Please dont forget this!!!

Receiving error message when trying to install Toshiba Power Saver

Recently toshiba power saver stopped working - I removed it and redownloaded it from this website, now whenever I try to run the install i get a "unable to machine id" message and the install stops.
First time posting here so If i'm on the wrong forum or you need anything else apologies in advance.

Hi there,
where did youve downloaded the powersaver? Maybe you downloaded the wrong one for your machine. Its absolutely important to download EXACTLY that software which fits your machine type.
When downloading stuff from toshiba websites you have to keep an eye on the version of your machine (e.g. Satellite A100-552 -> download the software for type "552" of the Satellite A100 series).
This sometimes resolves many errors and clarify some not very nice situations.
Please, more details on your problem. :)

DVI second monitor stopped working. Stuck in "Power Save Mode"

I have a HPE-110f Desktop PC. Monitor does not respond to all manners of troubleshoot e.g. update SW, disconnect reconnect. power save to "never" settings. Monitor checked on VGA and works fine. Status of Video Card infers working. Considering DVI adapter to VGA as stopgap to buying new Graphics card. Not a gamer but considering upgrade(s) to Radeon HD 4350 w/ P/S upgrade as well. Help. Prefer cheaper existing equipment fix.

Try connecting them all one at a time first and make sure each monitor functions as it should when it is the only monitor being used. Then try connecting the other monitors one at a time and changing the extending display settings. This is to see if there is a point in the process where it fails. Also, it could reset the settings to get it working again.

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.

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.

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.
