N8 power saving problem

When i deactivate the power saving mode the phone wont adjust the Deplay Light Sensor. It remains at low, doesn't came back to the settings before activating the power saving. Do you know some fix ?

If you use a German UI: A bad translation suggests that switching ON the power saving features switches them off and vice versa.
Just try the opposite; switch ON and see if it works.

Nokia 7370 Power Saving Problems

Hi Everyone
I just got my nokia 7370 (the gold swivel one from the l'amour collection) and I'm having a minor problem.
When the phone is inactive it isn't displaying the date and time on a black screen as it should in power saving mode.
Power saving mode is switched on in settings but it isn't working.
Can anyone help me with this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
p21b

well my operator (Videotron) here in Canada, i can only connect via 3G for calling therefore i sort of need 3G to make and receive calls, otherwise it's like being in Offline mode!
so i can understand this person's issue.
As i have the same problem.
Basicly whenever my phone activates Powersaving, it literally disconnects me from the network (no longer able to make and receive calls)
I am using a Nokia E7

Power saving problem

Hi everybody
Is there a setting somewhere to prevent power saving while using quicktime?
Example, when I use Mplayer for video, the screen stays as is and never dims or goes blank. With quicktime it dims and goes blank if you don't move the mouse?

Is there a setting somewhere to prevent power saving while using quicktime?
I don't believe so. You can, however, change you Energy Saver settings on a temporary basis, reset the delay time for a longer period, or install a utility like "Sleepless" which allows you to override the Energy Saver settings with a simple menu bar click.

MSI R9 270x and problems with switching power-saving modes

hi,I bought this video card but now I began to twitch screen sometimes when switching video card power saving modes
it all happens in a game, or at the sites but not on the desktop
how to disable power saving mode so that it always runs at maximum frequency?
or how to disable Perf Level 0

Ok, sorry about that.
Currently seem to have a Grey Screen whenever I boot the desktop with the graphics card installed.
1. I tried system restore to see if it was a program causing the grey screen, but same problem.
2. Tried installing the cd version of the AMD drivers same problem.
3. Installed the latest version of the driver, as well as, beta version same problem.
4. Removed the graphics card and put it back in booted up, same problem.
5. Also tried the Molex Cables that came in the box to different power supply on the PSU, same problem.

Changing to power-saving results in losing picture on the screeen

Hi,
Product name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment Notebook PC support.
Product number: LM610EA#A2N
When changing to power-saving GPU, then Radeon got disabled and no picture on the screeen is shown.
I really had been facing a problem with my Windows 7 Home premium 64Bit, then I have only done a repair install, which
didn't delete all the drivers and programs. However, before doing the repair install, I was recommended to uninstall AMD
Readon and Intel(R) Management Engine Interface.(AS shown below). Thus, I have uninstalled the AMD Readon, and Intel(R)Management Engine Interface.
Upgrading Windows will affect the following devices and/or programs:
These devices might not work properly after the upgrade. Before upgrading, we recommend updating the drivers for these
devices. Cancel the upgrade, open Control Panel and search for "update device drivers", or go to the device manufacturer's
website to search for updated drivers.
System devices: Intel(R) Management Engine Interface
These programs might not work properly after the upgrade. We recommend uninstalling these programs before upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, open Control Panel, and search for "uninstall a program". (Note: Programs marked as * can be safely reinstalled after the upgrade.)
ATI Catalyst Control Center *
When the repair install got completed, then I found that Grphics adapter is still functining well since there are no ! mark in front of the adapters: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family and Radeon(TM) HD 6770M in the device manager.
Once I changed the GUP from High-performance GPU to Power-saving GPU, then I lost the pircuter on the Screen.
When I lost the picuter on the screen while on Windows in normal mode, I booted to the safe mode, then opened the device manager, and I saw that Radeon(TM) HD 6770M was disabled
To get picture again, I enabled Radeon(TM) HD 6770M (screen shot below) while in Safe mode:
When restarting my PC and started Windows in the noraml mode, the picture returned on the screeen.
Whenever changing to power-saving GPU, then the same problem happens.
Will I need to reinstall the AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver, although there are no ! mark in front of the Intel(R) HD Graphics Family and Radeon(TM) HD 6770M in the device manager?

Thank you so much indeed,
Could you please take some of your precious time out to really answer these questions below of mine?
Firstly:: I really have run this Utility(amdcleanuputility) to remove all components of the prvious installation of AMD Radeon and Mobile Inte Graphics.
I was propmted that tool will do as it is shown below in the screen shot.
I agreed. Then, it completed. Is 'AMD cleanup utility' recommended by you?
Then, the graphics adapters in the device manager became as follows:
Secondly: I think that it is now the point to reinstall AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver_Software Packaging Numbr(SP55092)_Driver Version 8.882.2.3000.
Thirdly: Moreover, I would be saying that I lost the audio on my System once the (amdcleanuputility) has completed, although its icon is still intact(screen shot below)
Must I need to reinstall IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver_Sp55094_Version6.10.6345.0????
Finally:: in your link about downloading the drivers for my product name. I found Driver-Graphics (5) . However, all what I need is the finall one which is an already-downloaded file with me. Could you please let me know what about the other four graphics drivers????????

Power saving tipps for desktop PCs

Hi, lately I've been trying to make my boxes at home (router, desktop, fileserver) more power efficient. My energy bill was always kinda high and I think that I waste too much energy.
Most of my experience with computer related power saving comes from my laptop (maximize batterie time ). I've already taken some steps to minimize power consumption but I'm not sure what else could be done. If you have some ideas please let me know!
Some details about the steps I've taken so far:
router (24/7)
Its an really old stripped down mashine (P2) that is underclocked (hard).
It's currently running pfsense (FreeBSD based) that is installed on an old hdd. I was thinking about getting a small usb-stick and running the system on that one... would that be a good idea? (lifetime etc)
fileserver
Runs only when needed. In addition the cpu is undervolted (ondemand). Should be ok I guess.
desktop (24/7)
This one is a bit more tricky. It has pretty much up to date (-> power hungry) hardware but needs to run 24/7 most of the time (ssh, ftp, p2p). Downgrading can only be temporary because sometimes I need the performance (casual gaming, video encoding, photoshop etc...).
So far I did only 3 things:
1. hdds go to sleep when they are not used for 15 minutes --> hdparm -S 180
2. cpu undervolting --> cpufreq-set -g powersave
3. grafik card underclocking --> nvclock -n 250 -m 350 (nvidia only)
I'm a bit frightened to underclock the grafik card even lower... my screen got blocky and froze once while testing. ^^'
2 & 3 are done with a small script that I run when I leave the pc:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor)" = "performance" ];
then cpufreq-set -g powersave && nvclock -n 250 -m 350 && xset dpms force off
else cpufreq-set -g performance && nvclock -r
fi
I've a shortcut for the script on my keyboard but some automation would be better if I think about it... triggered by afk time or sth like this.
If you guys have ideas what else could be tweaked please let me know!

You could also check out solid state drives for the desktop. I know very little about them, so it may be a good or bad idea.
Yeah flash drives uses less power but I wouldn't use them for a desktop pc. The price per GB is far worse compared to normal HDDs and the blocks can only be written around 100000 times... for a system disk this is not really acceptable (caching, temporary files etc). These SDDs are more designed for small (sub)notebooks imo because they have no mechanical parts what makes them more reliable.
For the router this would not a problem though.
omgwtfbyobbq wrote:A stick would definitely be cheaper! The HD power draw isn't as low as I thought it was but it's close. The power supply can be a huge draw like I mentioned before. There's a 20W and 40W difference at idle between a earthwatts 380 power supply and a couple generic power supplies I had lying around. I originally though my PIII used way more than my C7-D system, but after swapping power supplies I found out the PIII used less at idle than the C7-D even w/ two sound cards, a network card, and a video card.
Yeah a quality PSU will probably save allot. Currently the router uses an old generic power supply, so this is really sth i should look into. I have an enermax noisetaker that is not used atm so I'll see what difference it makes compared to the currently used PSU.
The power consumption of HDDs is really not that low (thx for the link). Around eight watts (Idle) for the tested HDDs. So putting the disks to sleep when they're not used is probably a good idea for the most people that leave the PC running for longer times. My desktop has 5 HDDs, so even when they are not really used they need around 40 watts for nothing. Old HDDs (like the one in my router) will probably need more power.
I've asked a friend of mine to lent me his digital wattage meter. With this I can make some detailed tests to see what tweaks are really useful to save power.
I'll post the results when I'm done (probably on the weekend). What I can say now is that the few tweaks I made on my desktop PC (first post) will probably save a bit. The temperature of the CPU and GPU drops around 10-15 °C, the ambient temperature drops allot as well. This pretty heavy considering that the case has a good airflow (2 80er fans in front of the hdds and one 120er fan at the back).

Mirroring LG Monitor stuck in Analog Power Saving Mode

I have a macbook from 2006, and just attained an LG L1900J LCD monitor. When I connect the monitor to my macbook using a DVI to VGA Cable attached to a Mac mini DVI to VGA adapter I get no picture on the monitor and the message "Analog Power Saving Mode" appears before the monitor goes black and then switches into sleep mode.
I have used the Switch application to try and fix the issue, and I have also adjusted the resolution many times as it appears my Macbook recognizes the monitor but an image just won't appear on its screen. I just ordered a Male to Male DVI cable and mini DVI to DVI adapter to see if a digital connection would work. Does anyone know if this will work or of another solution to my problem? Thanks.

So I ordered a Mini DVI-DVI Dynex adapter and Male to Male DVI Cable off ebay for very cheap, and to my surprise, this set-up seemed to shake the monitor out of "Analog Power Saving Mode" into "Digital" since its a digital set-up and now I have a fully functioning, mirroring monitor. So I would suggest switching to DVI to correct your issue.

Nokia N8: Possible Power Saving Mode Bug

Dear All,
For the past week, I've change the way I use my Nokia N8. I decided to set it up in power saving mode during the evening. There is no point for it to be on 3.5G if nobody is using it. Unfortunately, I seem to have hit a problem. At the moment, my N8 is using a pay as you go sim card from O2 and this card is in the phone 24/7.
When I activate power saving mode, the phone re-registers with the network and the maximum speed it will have will be EDGE. In the morning, when I take my phone I disable power saving mode and the phone re-registers again with the network.
Having said that, on multiple ocassions, my phone showed some worrying symptoms. For example, a few das ago, when I disabled power saving mode, the phone did not show the 3.5G icon and I could not make any phone calls. The coverage was up and down. You might say that, it did not show 3.5G because you had no 3.5G you idiot. That is not true, where I live, there is 3.5G everywhere.
I was shocked that I could not make any phone calls. After a few reboots and taking SIM card out, I managed to get the phone in working order.
Today, the same thing happened. I managed to fix it just a few moments ago. It seems that the power saving mode option has an implementation problem or O2 does not like the way the N8 registers to the network when you enable and disable the said feature. Has anyone encountered this???

@m80116, this may well be a solution, but could be problematic if in a weak reception area where only Edge is available ? You could lose data connection completely ! I tend to use Dual mode, and generally don't have an issue, but certainly for anyone living and working in a very strong 3 or 3.5G area it may work very well, wish I had the luxury of being able to use 3G Only

Adobe Reader 2.0 for PocketPC power-saving issue

Hello,
I have a Fujitsu-Siemens LOOX720 device and noticed that device battery discharges relatively quickly when I read PDF documents with Adobe Reader (Windows Mobile 2003SE).
The trouble is that device runs at turbo processor speed all the time the Adobe Reader document is viewed (even when you switch to other applications and put Adobe Reader instance to background).
I set the processor speed settings of my device to Automatic Mode and the rest of applications work as expected - they do not consume much CPU power when they are idle and the CPU is automatically switched to power saving mode. This does not happen when Adobe Reader is viewing the document and the only solution is to set the CPU settings to Power Saving mode manually. This is very inconvenient because rendering of PDF documents is too slow in power saving mode.
I hope the description is clear and it will help to fix this problem in future versions of Adobe Reader.
Thank you!

>>> battery drain happens only when the device is powered on and there is running instance of Adobe Reader with opened document. <<
Actually, my experience is continued battery drain when powered OFF and there is running instance of Adobe Reader with opened document.
One possibility is that when the midnight calendar update occurs, an open instance of reader may keep the unit powered on.
On windows mobile devices, the power button is a "suspend" button and applications remain open, and while normally inactive, some programs continue to run and make power demands on the ppc.
>> report to adobe <<
It's been pretty obvious over the years that Adobe does not care about nor will invest any resources in the ppc reader to address any user issues.

Power saving mode / and broadband disconnecting pe...

I have recently started using the power saving mode and noticed that our BB speed has gone down to 2.4 from 2.9. While I know this is not a big reduction we had a lot of problems earlier in the year with V04 messages cos our speed dropped to around 2 and it took a lot of engineers visits to get it back up to 2.9. Also I noticed that our HH keeps disconnecting (at the moment it says it's been connected for 2 days) although this has been happening since we signed up to BT and not since using the power save mode..
Do you think it is the power saving mode or the fact that the HH keeps disconnecting periodically that is resulting in our speed reducing? I would really appreciate your help as I desperately want to avoid getting the dreaded V04 error messages!
Thanks
Debbie

Hi the variations in your speed are being caused by the restarts of your hub nothing toowith power saving mode you need to find the causes of thedisconections

Port flaps when PC is in Power saving mode

Hi Everyone
My Cisco LMS 2.6 installation reports a flapping port whenever a PC running Windows Vista Business is in power saving mode.
While this is not a major catastrophe, my syslog is filling up very quickly with more than 10,000 records within 24 hours.
Does anybody have any idea what to do? Is this problem solved with Windows 7?
Thanks.
- Andre

Whenever a PC/Laptop goes into the following states:
1. Sleep mode;
2. Log on/log off; and
3. Powers on
You'll see in the switch logs four error lines: 2 to report layer 1 going down and up and 2 to report layer 2 going down and up.
This is normal.

N8: Power saving - Visibla or not visible

In the power saving settings of my N8 there is the choice among "Visible" and "Not Visible" related to the request to switch to power saving mode when battery low. Someone knows the difference? I'd prefer the N8 to switch automatically in power saving when battery low without asking, so, is the "not visible " option to allow this?

Deactivate the Power Saver Mode via the power key is not working as well. The phone shows that the POWER SAVING MODE DEACTIVATED but the settings still don't change to normal. So far, this was the biggest problem with my N8. I really hope that the upcoming firmware of the N8 will address this issue.

N8 - Power Saving Mode

Hi,
I got a bit problem here. My N8 will automatically activate the POWER SAVING MODE once the phone battery goes low. I've set the power saver mode query to "ON" so that the phone will ask wether to activate the power saving mode or not. When I choose "NO" the phone will automatically turn the power saving mode in the background without displaying an icon (the battery icon will appears as a "moon"). The big clock screen saver is set to NONE, the theme effects switch to "OFF" and the light time out will change from 30 seconds (default) to only 5 seconds.
Any idea or help? ThanX!

Nokia N8 Screen Saver & Power-Saving Mode

Few issues after 24hrs of N8 usage...
1) My Screen Saver stopped working... screen stays lit indefinitely, even when locked... after multiple restarts and lots of frustration it came back, but this issue has already happened twice - surely a bug
2) Power-Saving mode doesn't really make sense unless it is customisable... I am on a 3G only network, power-saving enables GSM-only... see the flaw?
Appreciate your feedback,
Mike

Regarding ISSUE #1 (the screensaver failure), I have a PERFECT solution!!!
However, I am not sure if this will work for you, because I have SPB Mobile Shell, but it is worth a try!
1) Make sure you have the widget for the MUSIC PLAYER on one of your main operating page.
2) Turn OFF your phone regularly. (NO NEED to hard rest by hold over 8 secs)
3) Turn ON your phone.
4) Once the phone loaded up, immediate play any song through your music player. (Need to be done before your phone auto-locks)
5) Lock your phone with your side-lock button; your screensaver should come back.
Both my g/f & I owns a Nokia N8, and we both experienced the screensaver failure problem. My N8 was easy to fix by many people's solution of just simply reset, and it automatically fixed the problem. But My g/f's N8 was stubborn, and wouldn't turn the screensaver back on by this simple reset method. Later I discovered the above method, and it worked every time! I think somehow the music player is triggering the screensaver and forces it to stay on.
Well, although we somehow surpass this issue, but Nokia still need to fix this problem. Nokia N8 is a great phone, it shouldn't have such a simple mistake in it. This makes the perfect phone imperfect!!! Anyway, please let me know if this method works for you guys, thanks.

N8 - Activate power saving mode

Dear all,
Usually when I go to sleep I setup my N8 phone to power saving mode, however I have problem to desactivate it.
My phone have crashed for six hours until shutdown.
How can I turn off my phone under those conditions? No keys worked.
my regards,

If your phone freezes up completely to the extent that no keys work try this:
Hold the power button down for at least 8 seconds, when it vibrates release the button. The phone should now reboot and behave normally.
I do not know why it froze up in the first place, many things can cause a phone to freeze or crash. More details would be required from you to troubleshoot that problem.
