Software Issue with New Power Management Update

In this post I'll be talking about the Power Management update for Windows 8.1 Pro, version 1.67.09.00, released on 10/15/2014.
I installed this via System Update yesterday and, when shutting down my computer before going to classes that day, I noticed something odd. Even after Windows shut down, the display went black, and the hard disk indicator light (yes, please bring those indicator lights back to the Thinkpad line!) stopped flashing, the power indicator was still on. From there I deduced the system was still on in a "limbo" state. In fact, the keyboard light was still functional, and so was the mute button! I was right.
Later that day, I let my computer sit through this "limbo" state, and a horrible apparition, the Blue Screen of Death, appeared! It stated that there was a "Power Driver State Failure" and immediately proceeded to shut down my computer. I rebooted, used System Restore to undo the installation, and the issue was fixed.
In short, don't install this update if you have Windows 8.1 Pro and a Thinkpad X230 Tablet. It didn't work well for me. Lenovo, please double and triple check your update before an eager geek like myself proceeds to install it.

Z40-70 compatibility issue with your power management system

I noticed today that the Action Center says "Compatibility issue with your power management system." The description underneath is: Your power management system isn't working peoperly because a compatible driver is not available for this version of Windows. When I click on View message details it just says "Your computer was unable to download the solution at this time. Check to make sure your computer is connected to the Internet, and then try to download the solution again later." All power related functionalities however seem to be working. Battery is charging; battery percentage is showing; I can adjust screen brightness. I am not sure when exactly this problem started but it defenitely was not there before. Tried downloading and fixing the Power Management Software and updating BIOS. Still have the same message. System: Windows 8.1 64-bit

What model do you have? Can you post your MTM or model name?

Yoga 2 pro / win8.1 - "Compatibility issue with your power management system"

Hi,
After downgrading form win10 back to 8.1 due to endless driver malfunction and a significant decrease in overall performance, I got this message in windows action center: “Compatibility issue with your power management system”. When I click on it it says: This solution could not be downloaded
Most likely causes:
• Your computer was unable to download the solution at this time. Check to make sure your computer is connected to the Internet, and then try to download the solution again later. As you can see, my internet connection is fine. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks,
Daniel

Check if installing this helps you:
http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/em8.0.2.3.exe
If you already did this, check if you can do this BIOS update as well:
http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/5ecn96ww.exe
Let me know if it works.

Registry issue with Lenovo Power Manager with X61

I have the following problem.
Hi guys,
Lenovo power manager v1,6 quit working properly lately so I googled for a solution which involved removing power schemes which had reproduced in the registry to cause an overload to the application.
Anyway because this wasnt really working (I ended up with having powerschemes but wasnt allowed to change them) I in my brightest moments decieded to delete the messed up part of my registry [HKEY_CURREN_USER --> Control panel --> PoweCfg] because it was preventing my reinstalations of said program from functioning properly since they resorted to the previosly present registryentrys.
Well it appears that when installing the powermanager it does not write these new registry entrys and Im stuck now without a way to get them back. I wonder at what point that registry entry is written in the first place, does anyone feel like exporting said part of their healthy registry...please...?

..this one is from an x200 with Server2003...seems like you're familiar enough with registry exports and wrapping and shoiuld be able to convert this into a *.reg form:

Issue with KDE power management plugin and battery monitor widget

Hi everyone, I'm having troubles with the battery monitor widget on KDE: since I have installed the DM I get an error message during the startup saying that "no valid power management backend plugin is available", so I can't get my battery monitor working. Does anyone know how could I do to have this problem solved?

Different battery life on x61 with different power manager software

hi, i recently noticed a bunch of new drivers for my x61 (xp pro sp3) so i installed the power manager 1.52. i immediately noticed the battery usage dropping visibly faster than before (about 1% each 2 min on a 6 cell). i remembered when i had win 2k on this thing and it did the same thing after a bios upgrade. back then i reverted to the prior bios and the problem persisted. this was one of the reasons i finally went to xp (this was last year).
so this timei tried the prior version of power manager and went back to version 1.48 until my battery usage was normal.
during each driver change i restarted the system upon uninstalling and rebooted upon installation of new power manager software. i also tried different acpi drivers and bios. every other driver change i shut down the machine and pulled the battery out and cycled the battery to make sure. i also tried different usage profiles, including my custom ones and they had no effect on battery consumption - which was alarmingly high: 2:30 at 90% when i usually get more than double of real usage time
nothing i did would give me my normal battery consumption back except rolling back to version 1.48 of the power manager.
has anybody else experienced this? any ideas as to what the problem could be? thanks in advance

ok, i can confirm its a software issue. the problem was high battery consumption (-1% every two minutes on max batt and dimmest screen) after updates to power manager driver on an x61 running xp pro sp3. reverting to prior drivers would not solve the issue.
the only solution was restoring the system using acronis and problem solved. my battery consumption is normal now.
i think its a combination of drivers and windows updates that breaks the power manager. ive encountered this problem several times under win2k and xp.
the only solution i found is reverting to a prior install or a clean install

OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0) - Issue with starting Node Manager

Hi,
Have anyone faced an issue with starting Node Manager in OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0)? OS is 64 bit Linux, WebLogic is 10.3.5. I used the software-install method and followed by running config.sh. Everything completed successfully. I updated the catalog and rpd location in the FMW control screen.
To get it activated I bounced services and when I try to start Node Manager it gives below error --

Hi,
There are Two types of Cipher suites --- Certicom Cipher Suite and SunJSSE Equivalent Cipher Suite. And with Weblogic 10.3.5, you are using Sun JSSE Cipher Suite, and by default Node Manager uses the Certicom Cipher Suite.
In the nodemanager.properties, Add CipherSuite=SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5, save and restart Node Manager.

New network manager update disabling my wifi

Hi.
Just want let you know that there is something wrong with new network manager. after last update my network was disabled and I couldn't turn it on, when downgrade to previous version is working again ok.
My network card:
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2200 (rev c4)
if you need any more info let me know please...

Did you remove the network from the phone and then reset the network settings? Or, did you have to try and select the network again? You also just provided a little more information, you said that you are to the point of entering the password. At first it seemed that you weren't even finding the wifi. If you are getting to the password screen and it is showing an error, try power cycling your router. Unplug the router, leave it off for about 30 seconds and then restart it. After it is restarted, then try connecting the phone.

Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

Software issue with iPhone 4S

i am experiencing software issues with my IPhone 4S. I was directed to back up all data to ICloud and delete everythign off phone. Did that. Cannot restrore phone with ICloud back up data cause it causes the software issue to represent itself. i can restore as a new phone without any issues. i need the contacts that i have backed up on ICloud. all picts and data can be deleted. how can i just restore contacts only.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If the contacts are in iCloud they will be reloaded to your new phone when you sign into iCloud.

My iPhone 4s will not charge in car or truck. It would appear after research that this is a software issue with ios5. Will there ever be a patch to correct this infuriating problem?!!!

Mine charges just fine, as does everyone's iPhone 4S that I know. Apple even sells a number of car chargers that are certified to work:

Perhaps there is a problem with your charger or the outlet you're using in your car/truck.

[SOLVED] Lid doesn't suspend anymore with xfce power manager

The options "When laptop lid is closed" are set to suspend (and used to work), but still, when I close my lid, nothing happens. Using the logout dialog or the suspend button my keyboard works. Is it a problem with xfce-power-manager, or ACPI not registering the lid event anymore? Any idea how to fix that?
[edit]
I solved that problem by removing ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml, killing the power manager and reloging in my session to flush the settings. Then I reconfigured the lid closed action to suspend (and everything else to my liking).

Sorry to bother you again, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore...
Somehow it can't lock the GNOME session, because when I enter the above line from /etc/acpi/handler.sh manually as root in TTY1, I get this error:
** Message: Failed to get session bus: Befehlszeile »dbus-launch --autolaunch=c9375f4ea0008d92177b28db000009ae --binary-syntax --close-stderr« brach mit von Null verschiedenem Beenden-Status 1 ab: No protocol specified\nAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n
If I enter this command inside GNOME, everything works just fine, it locks the screen and suspends.
EDIT:
Setting the XAUTHORITY environment variable properly did the trick. Therefore, I borrowed some lines from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … losing_lid

Any issues with latest 2014 ios update & Straight Talk

Hi, I've been with straight talk for about 2 weeks without any problem - switching --porting--pics.....all went well . Now my phone ( iPhone 3c) shows iOS update waiting..
Due to all I have read here & there,I'm a bit uneasy to do the update. Has anyone had any issues with lates t2014 ios update using ST? Will it affect the working of the phone if I don't do update? Thanks for any input.

Hi, Glad that worked for you. I don't know why this is happening other than to offer an opinion. This hardware acceleration was causing an issue with the previous version of FP also. I think that this technology is ready but the websites are not, youtube included.
The same thing happened with Flash Player for the mobile phones, Android in particular. Adobe was ready but had to wait on Google to catch up. So the users thot Adobe was at fault, but that wasn't the case. Google had to update and that was done with their 2.2 update. This is not an opinion however. I followed this because users were coming here asking why Flash Player wasn't available for their Android:-)
Adobe/Microsoft/Mac/Linux are all involved and if one advances a particular technology that effects the others, then each one must make a change for that technology to work. At least that's how I see it.
Thanks for marking your thread as answered
