[SOLVED]Battery settings are stored in system or the battery firmware?

I am dual-booting on a Thinkpad T410 with Windows7 and Manjaro with a 55++ battery.
In Windows, I switch between "Always fully charge" and "Automatically optimize for battery lifespan" in Power Manager > Battery > Battery Maintenance, i rebooted in Linux and i think the settings are affecting Linux too.
So the question is: this settings are stored in system or the battery firmware?

The settings are stored in firmware, and your observation is correct, the settings are affecting both operating systems. If you want to set the thresholds with linux only (i recommend you to do so) use tpacpi-bat.
When it comes to supporting other os like manjaro this forum is not ideal.

REST API: Create Deployment throwing error BadRequest (The specified configuration settings for Settings are invalid. Verify that the service configuration file is a valid XML file, and that role instance counts are specified as positive integers.)

Hi All,
We are trying to access the Create Deployment method stated below
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460813
We have uploaded the Package in the blob and browsing the configuration file. We have checked trying to upload manually the package and config file in Azure portal and its working
fine.
Below is the code we have written for creating deployment where "AzureEcoystemCloudService" is our cloud service name where we want to deploy our package. I have also highlighted the XML creation
part.

string base64ConfigurationFile = a.ToBase64();

HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong

When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong?

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
- If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I am in China. When I plug in my powerblock i get a green light for 10-15 seconds then it turns orange. It seems to feed power but not charge the battery. i have a message that says the battery is not charging.

I have just got my iPad2 and very pleased with it. I have a question regarding the monthly (recommended) battery full charge. Should I let the battery completely die down to nothing at all or would this be bad for my iPad?

I have just got my iPad2 and am very pleased with it. I have a question regarding the monthly (recommended) battery full charge. Should I let the battery completely die down to nothing at all before I plug in to recharge or would this complete drain be bad for my iPad?

It's not bad for it - on this page www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html it says :
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

I had similar issue with one of the macbooks in the office. Make sure you've got latest firmware installed (run Software Update). This resolved the issue for us instantly (you may need to reboot mac AFTER firmware upgrade for this to work).

Does anyone know where IAC settings are stored?

does anybody know in which preferences file the custom IAC channel settings are being stored? i am trying to copy my settings over from 10.5.8 to 10.6
thanks!

I added a bus to the IAC via Audio Midi setup, closed it and then looked at which file in the preferences had the right modification time. It turned out to be this one:
/Users/'you'/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.MIDI.000a959c7684.plist
So try copying that one, and see if it works...

Is there a settings in Win7/HP feature that the battery does not charge until it is under 95%

I just purchased a HP Pavilion dv6-7043cl laptop and have noticed that the battery does not charge unless it is below 95%. I am very concercerned because I had a different laptop from a different manufacturer where I had battery issues. That manufacturer was not helpful and I will never buy from them again.
I have heard good things about HP which is why I decided to buy this particular machine. However, I have only had this machine for 3 days and now this is starting. I cannot find a Win 7 (I am running Win 7 home premuim 64 bit) setting that controls when the battery starts to charge. Is this a function of the HP Power Manager? Is this a feature of the battery HP ships with their laptops? Or is this indicating a problem with this machine? I am a college student and I need a reliable laptop for school.
Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
HanNan
