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.

Unable to restore screen when laptop goes into power saving mode

Toshiba Satellite M45 running MS Windows XP, When laptop goes into powersaving mode and screen goes black, if i do not move the mouse in a nanosecond I am unable to restore the screen. Try my ususal fix of pressing the now amber mechanical start button, but I only hear the computer start to whir, but the black screen continues. I have to do a hard close and consequently loose all unsaved data. Then do a mechanical start and return to the desk top with a message that the computer programs where not closed properly.
I have been told I need to change the power saving mode options. Is this correct? How do I do this? Thanks, Blooming

I tired to do a system restore for two different dates and got a message that MS was unable to restore to that/those dates. - no explanation.
Linda, sometimes the restore points get corrupted. The fix is to turn System Restore off and then on again. Unfortunately, that removes all the previous restore points.

How do you turn off power saving mode on a Officejet 6000

I have 5 Officejet 6000 printer contected by using the ethernet port. They print fine when not in power saving mode. When they go into power saving mode and a print job is sent to them, they do not print. You have to power off and on the printer for the job to print. I need to turn off the power saving mode on these printers. Computers sending print jobs are XP and Window 7.

I am not aware of a way to turn that feature off completely since it does not have a front panel.
However, I suspect largely that the issue is with DHCP IP (automatic) settings. Printers in general, with some routers, have issues with DHCP and standby where they no longer communicate using DHCP information.
I recommend setting static IP addresses for any printer on a network as it prevents most network issues with printers from occuring.
Print a network configuration page by holding the network button for 3 seconds and then releasing it. A printout should be printed with the printers IP address.
Once that is done, enter that IP address into the browser on a computer as if you were going to a site. Once that is entered, go to that site and the printer status page should be loaded.
There should be a Network option at the top. Select that option.
On this page, somewhere on the left, there should be an IPv4 option in a wired section. Select this and it will give the option for automatic or manual IP setup.
Select Manual IP setup. Enter The IP address and subnet mask from the printout. You can enter the gateway and the DNS servers, but they aren't really used since this printer does not have any web functions.
Click apply and you should get a success message.
At this point, the printer should have a static IP address and the issue of it not responding after entering standby should no longer be present.
PrintDoc's post has similar steps for a wireless version of the same printer. The only step that would really be different is choosing Wired instead of Wireless on the setup page.

When will the Verizon HTC One (M8) finally get the Extreme Power Saving Mode software update?

Other carriers (AT&T, Sprint) already have it, but Verizon is taking forever apparently.
When will Verizon customers be able to download and use this new mode?
Thanks!

I recently bought an HTC One m8 from Verizon, and like many other customers the Extreme Power-saving Feature was one of my keys factors to deciding to buy. I was very disappointed to learn after the fact that Verizon had not included, and has no intention to include the feature in the future. (Mentioned in other threads in the forum). I've read the argument made that Verizon never advertised the feature and never said it would be included with their version of the phone, but they also never went out of the way to warn perspective buyers that the feature, which is part of the m8 phone on other carriers and marketed by HTC as a part of their phone wouldn't be included. When people are researching phones before they decide what to get they read what features the manufacturer(s) have designed and implemented in those phones, not search to find all the things the carrier may have stripped from the phone.
It's impractical and offensive to tell a customer that its his/her responsibility every time they buy a phone from them to dig deep into website forums and look for what they decided to remove from it that the manufacturer had built, and advertised to be in their phone. This is the type of thing that is bad PR for Verizon, and something that will make customers go to other carriers. I don't want to offend some of the nice Verizon employees who want to help their customers and simply don't have the power to correct the issue themselves, but its in Verizon's best interest to either fix their network to work with this feature, or find/hire someone else who will. Doing it soon before the issue escalates and news of Verizon's statement to do nothing to correct the issue for their HTC One m8 customers spreads like wildfire and burns them.
I hope someone at Verizon doesn't let the rest of the company go on ignoring the issue and steps up to find a way to enable Extreme Power Saving Mode on the Verizon Network. Right now the impression many people have is something along the lines of: now that you've bought a phone from us, and signed up for a contract with us we don't care what you want and think.
In the meantime it would be a good idea to enable the option in the phone with a popup message when enabled that reads something along the lines of: Verizon has concluded that in some cases Extreme Power Saving Mode can cause network issues. If you experience network issues please disable extreme power saving mode and return to one of the other power modes. Verizon will continue to research the issue, and will institute a fix if/when a solution is found.

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.

LG Monitor stuck in Power Saving Mode

I just purchased an LG W2252TQ LCD monitor and I am using a mini-dvi to dvi adapter and a DVI cable to connect to the monitor. My macbook detects the monitor, but when I connect it, the monitor enters "Digital Power Saving Mode" and is asleep. No picture whatsoever. - I saw another post who was having similar trouble and he solved it by using a mini-dvi to vga adapter, but I'd prefer to use a digital connection. Any help?

kiamatthews: I bought the same LG monitor for my daughter's MacBook and I couldn't get it to work. Then I read your post and resigned myself to buying the mini-dvi to VGA adapter. Luckily, I stubbornly tried one more time and after a bit of fiddling I finally succeeded in getting it to work. (My daughter has the same setup as you i.e. LG W2252TQ LCD monitor connnected to a MacBook using the mini-dvi to dvi adapter and a dvi cable connected to the monitor.) I'm a relative newbie to Macs, so I'm not sure I've remembered all the steps, but here goes.
When I first connected them, the LG showed the background from the MacBook, but nothing else (no icons, no windows, etc). Eventually I brought up system preferences - displays, and some sort of monitor resolution window appeared on the LG, but it was different than what was on the MacBook. The "displays" window on the MacBook did indicate both the MacBook monitor and the LG, which it showed as 2252TQ or something like that. Anyway, I checked a box labelled "Show displays in menu bar", which then put a monitor icon on the menu bar. When I clicked on that, there was a line allowing me to select "mirror" which I did. Immediately, what was on the MacBook display appeared on the LG. After I picked myself up off the floor, I was able to change the resolution for the LG to its maximum setting and after about 2 seconds of blank screens, it reappeared with everything working as it should.
I hope that the above description is sufficient to get yours to work as well.

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

Monitor Goes into 'Power Saving Mode' HDMI

I have an LG monitor (IPS237-BN) which always goes into 'Power Saving Mode' when I connect my MacBook Air to it via a Thunderbolt-HDMI connection.
Sometimes it actually connects and I can mirror my displays (or count it as another), most of the time it doesn't. I have used different cables etc. I cannot install the driver because I do not have a CD drive.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi,
Update the the video driver from the NVIDIA web site.
Your PC bios should be 5.29 or higher so that is something to check.

Cant get N8 off of power saving mode,

Hey all I can't get my N9 off power saving mode? Also when i try to forward mail says check connection setting? Any help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Reset is a last resort, removing access points and re-establishing them usually works, if not a reset is quicker than resorting to Nokia Care, but if you do it ONLY backup contacts, Calendar and Notes, you can also sync your messages with Ovi suite, but a full backup and restore will not only take forever, but if you do a full restore you can restore the thing that's causing the issue, so do everything manually apart from the basics. Dial *#7370# followed by 12345 and away you go, if you still have the issue you need the phone to be looked at under warranty
Good Luck

Power Saving Mode

Within the power saving mode, what exactly does the option "Put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" do? if I want to keep my computer on because I like to listen to music stations while falling to sleep but I don't change it, should I turn that off or on? If it's on, will it shut the computer and the music off if I don't use touch my computer after a while?
Thanks

The disks spin when you are accessing data. The system keeps the HDD on to make sure that data is available when you need it -- no ramp up delay.
Turning it off when possible saves power and reduces heat. Streaming audio should not be affected since it does not require storage unless you do not have sufficient RAM, in which case, the system needs to swap to disk.

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!

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.

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.

W520 Docking issue - attached monitor won't enter power saving mod

When my W520 (Win2008R2) power management profile shuts the display off (after 10 mins, for example), the externally DVI connected screen no longer receives a signal, but the screen doesn’t go into power saving mode. Instead, the monitor stays powered on (the green power light normally turns yellow), and displays the message “Cannot display this mode”. It’s a Dell monitor, and this message appears to be a Dell message, nothing from the Lenovo or Windows.
It’s a new W520, and a new docking station – the ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3 170W. The previous W510 and previous docking station ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3 135W both worked fine with this monitor, and were able properly stop sending it a signal.
So…where do I start troubleshooting? Is this a Lenovo docking station issue? Are others having this problem?

hey DougWelsby,
welcome to the forums and for this is hard to say if it is the docking station or is it something else.
is it possible for you to test a different monitor with the docking station or to have test the current monitor of yours directly with the W520 ?
If you can, do reply back with your findings.
At the same time, do hop over to http://support.lenovo.com and crosscheck the download list and ensure all drivers (including bios) is up to date.
