T61 display idle timer doesn't save

Thinkpad T61P
Windows 7 x64
I use a custom plan for PowerManager. Each time I boot, the idle timer for "Turn off Display" is set to 5min/20min (battery/AC). I bring up Power Manager, change them to never/never, and hit the OK button. The display will now not be turned off when I am watching long videos. When I reboot, however, the setting is again 5min/20min.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? If a bug, how do I contact Lenovo Support to file it?
Thanks for the help!

I'm not sure if the setting I am about to tell you about is tied to Power Manager, but this is worth a try.
Try this:
1) "right click" on your desktop and pick "personalize".
2) Click on "screen saver" on the bottom right.
3) On the window that pops up pick "Change power settings".
Your choices here are "Balanced" and "Power saver". Now:
1) Pick "Change plan settings" on the right of the plan that is selected.
2) Change the "Turn off the display" setting to "Never" for both Bat and AC
This setting should not be disassociated from Power Manager, but.....
There are other ways to get to this setting but this one is easy.

Buddylist wont display idle times of away buddies.

In iChat, I was wondering how to change the settings to get the idle time to appear for my buddies that are away AND idle.

I don't see a way to change the settings. Away means away, but also means you are online, but may not answer. you could still be using your computer and thus not necessarily idle.
Idle is a default that turns on, i don't know at what time, that shows that altough you are online, you are not actively using the computer.
from the Help menu, i get this statement about it: "If you're not actively using your computer, your status will remain as you last set it, but your friends will see that you're idle, as well as how long it has been since you last used your computer. Any message that arrives while you are away or idle will be waiting on your screen.
To prevent messages from being sent to you, or to prevent someone from seeing that you're idle, set your status to Offline"

Firefox doesn't display bookmarks in the sidebar, only in the menu bookmark. It doesn't display bookmarks in the "organize" bookmarks. It doesn't save tabs on exit. Problem began with 3.6.6

With so many issues with your current profile it would be better to try a new profile.
Be careful with what you copy to that new profile and it sounds that at least you have problem with places.sqlite and maybe prefs.js and localstore.rdf as well.
First test that new profile without copying files and installing extensions.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

WLS 8.1 SP5 Message bridge doesn't refresh connection after idle time out

Hi,
I am seeing in the log after enabling the debug flags that message bridge intermittently stops refreshing the connection without logging further info and causing a production failure.Bridge is forwarding the message from WLS 8.1..5 DQ to the remote MQ 6.0 queue.
Below is the snippet which doesn't come in the log which suggests that bridge stops refreshing the connection.
<BEA-200027> <Bridge "CASLDNSenderBridge" works in asynchronous mode and has not received messages for the predefined maximum idle time. The connections to the adapters will be interrupted and reestablished.>
The above message does appear everytime but intermittently it stops and the messages put after this leading to the exceptions.The bridge has been configured in asynchronous mode and the idle time out is configured as 60 secs.
Can somebody please let me know if there is any known issue with 8.1 SP5 where message bridge stops refreshing connection intermittently or how to debug this further.

I would normally suggest raising the issue with support, but I recall hearing that 8.1 is nearing the end of its support cycle, so I'm not sure that's an option for you. Other options:
- try upgrading to a newer SP, or better yet, a new version of WebLogic
- try changing to synchronous forwarding
- examine thread dumps from when the bridge appears to be stalled
- post the exception that bridge is throwing when it tries to connect
- try patching MQ (the problem could be on the MQ side, and perhaps an older version of the bridge may not be fully capable of handling all of MQs minor quirks)
- write a program to (A) detect inactivity on the src destination, and (B) somehow restart the bridge and/or all of WL when this occurs

Custom screen saver idle time

Is there a way to set a custom screen saver idle time? Through terminal? I tried "defaults -currentHost write com.apple.screensaver idleTime 160" for 3 minutes but that makes it go to 20 when I view it in preferences... lol, wow. This is hilarious. It's too much to have a slider or let the user enter any number? Too much for Apple, I know. It's tough. 100 billion dollar company. Can't even adjust the mouse acceleration either. Apple is Christ reincarnate.

i got it to work
I was runing it as root and you have to run it as Current console user on target computer in order for it to work.
just in case someone else ever needs it.

QuickTime makes display sleep, according to screen saver time

QuickTime 7.1, OS 10.4.6, PowerBook G4
My display sleep time is set for never, and my screen saver is set for 5 minutes. When I play a QuickTime movie, if I don't move the pointer once in a while, the display sleeps at 5 minutes. I could see QuickTime movies not informing the computer that something is going on, but in this case the screen saver should activate. Instead, the display simply sleeps.
Any idea what's going on?

Does not matter any more.

Displaying large clock after short idle time ?

Hi,
When I leave my desk I'd like my Mac to turn into a large clock (since I can't read the small menu bar clock from a distance).
Is there a way to have a large digital or analog clock overlaid on the screen once there has been an idle time (mouse/keyboard) of a set number of minutes?
Thanks!

Problem with system Inactivity/Idle time after installing Lion.

Since installing Lion strange things have been happening.
While I was happily editing a text file in TextMate and interacting with the Terminal, my screen saver started. I could only get rid of it by clicking on it, keyboard interaction didn't seem to clear it.
Adium was sending lots of updates to MSN to try and update my friendly name, which was causing issues with MSN sending errors back.
After unlocking 1Password and starting to look for a username/password the application would then lock itself.
I have since disabled my screen saver, which has not appeared again. I have updated the preferences in Adium to not change my status based on system idle time, although the dock icon for it permanently displayed the Idle sign. I have also updated the preferences in 1Password to prevent auto-lock after n minutes.
Since changing these preferences I have not had any problems with the applications, however this isn't ideal. As soon as I revert these changes my problems come back.
Has anyone else had this sort of issue? Does anyone know what might be causing my system to believe that it is idle, when I am clearly interacting with it?

If I delete the existing xml file and set the file path to the desktop, the script works again. However it doesn't work if the applescript is called by another program. This seems to indicate that the XML portion if fine, but that there is some sort of new file permission level control in applescript that wasn't there before that is preventing me from viewing the file. Any further ideas?
Cheers

IPhone 4's standard "notes" app doesn't save new updates?

I regularly use the 'notes' app that comes standard on the iPhone for everything. Shopping lists, to do lists, you name it. But with the new iPhone 4, the app doesn't save new edits. I'll type in or delete something, and then after I hit done, the "thinking" thing at the top left rolls around a few times, and then whatever I just typed in disappeared, or whatever I deleted reappears. Help!

I don't live in that area (I'm in northern Orange County, CA), but my neighbor and I have been having the same problem since last Saturday (Feb. 5) in the area around where we live (we both have iPhone 4's, and they still work fine in other areas). Note that we have full bars, and the "3G" symbol on the display, but get no data over 3G; disabling 3G allows access using EDGE (slowly), and phone/texting works fine (it's just the 3G data in our neighborhood that's broken). Since we both have WiFi in our homes, we didn't initially identify the 3G problem; what we both noticed was a sudden increase in iPhone power consumption (beginning last Saturday) when we are in our neighborhood (even when the phones are idle); I used to go 3-4 days on a charge, but now the battery drops at a rate of about 10%/hour when I'm around the house. Interestingly, my neighbor also has an iPad, and it doesn't exhibit the problem. Both phones and the iPad are running iOS V4.2.1. We've tried all the normal things (rebooting, clearing network settings, etc.), and nothing works. I spent some time on the phone last night with AT&T, and they are going to send someone out to check connectivity.

[ZM] Problem with idle shutdown.(or idle tim

My zen micro's current firmware is ..0
I found this problem months ago, but didn't try to figure it out.
There is centainly problem with idle shutdown timer.
I guess the IDLE SHUTDOWN TIMER SHOULD NOT RUN IF THE PLAYER IS PLAYING.
Idle = player is on, but not playing or not performing any task.
My current setting is
Idle timer = 5 min
Sleep timer = 45 min
This problem occurs,
When the player is turning on from deep sleep mode (after 4 hrs of stand-by mode)
I left my player playing mp3 after turning on.
And eventually the player shuts down itself after about 5 min (which is setted as idle timer)
So I checked the screen when the player shut down itself, and the screen was displaying 'Idle Shutdown'
Once the player shut down, it will not shut down again after turing on.
Summary,
. Turn on player after deep sleep mode(4hr)
2. leave player as playing music
3. after time amount of idle timer, it shuts down itself.
4. the screen displays 'idle shutdown' when it shuts down itself.
anyone noticing this problem?

Jason-CL wrote:mcramen,I tested by taking the battery out(this will simulate as a deep sleep), and also turning on and off the player a few times without taking the batttery out with the same setting. The player are still playing now.Jason
Jason, there is a critical difference your test missed: He turned his player off, let it go into "deep sleep" after 4 hours, then turned it back on and left it playing; it then went into "idle shutdown" after 5 minutes. This can only happen with 4-hour-standby firmwares (..02, 2.20.05, and the deprecated .0.02) turned off while playing, which then go into "deep sleep" after 4 hours; if you "simulate" it by resetting, it won't start playing when you turn it back on. And if you press any button, "idle shutdown" will work normally and the bug won't occur. (Older firmwares will lose your place when entering "deep sleep" after 24 hours, so they won't exhibit the problem.)
Sounds like a firmware bug where it fails to recognize that a player turned on from "deep sleep" doesn't need a button punched to be playing. Get ready for .2 and possibly 2.2 firmwares, maybe?
In the meantime, the workaround would be to press any button (menu, pause/unpause, anything) if it's playing when turning on from "deep sleep". (Much like the previous post, but I suspect any button other than the power switch will work, not just pause. But I could be wrong.)Message Edited by RBBrittain on 0-9-2005 02:4 PM

Displaying 'Date & Time' Column

Hi there, I did do some searching/ reading prior to posting this, but haven't found what I'm looking for...
I want to copy/ paste all my texts from my Nokia 6288 to my pc...
-this works no hassle, I simply use the Nokia Phone Browser to load all my 'Inbox' and 'Sent Items' and move them to the desired folder on my hard drive...
Problem is, in the Nokia Phone Browser, I get columns I can't seem to get in either Windows XP Pro or Windows Vista Business (which has more columns on offer)...
This means, when im looking at the files on my PC, rather than using the nokia phone browser, i dont get the same details which is a bit of a problem for me...
So what I want to know is:
How do i get the Date & Time Column (and all the columns the Nokia Phone Browser displays) to show up in Windows XP or Vista or both?
Thanks in advance

Hi Austin,
I have two remarks about that.
1) It's better to put the population of change/history attributes into a table trigger of type before row where you assign these values. eg.:
:NEW.CREATE_DATE := SYSDATE;
:NEW.CREATE_USER := NVL(V('APP_USER'), USER);The reason is, it will consistently work for all applications which try to insert a record into this table and don't have to worry about change attributes and second, when you use the default property of APEX it will populate the column with the value when the new row was displayed and not when it was saved and third, a user would be able to fake this value and write something else into it (eg. with Firebug or by saving the HTML page) and "create" the record with a different time as you would expect. -> Define the column as "display only doesn't save state"
2) Don't rely on automatic type conversion, remember that for APEX everything is a string that also means that your default value expression has to return a string to be 100% sure that it work on all systems where the default database format mask of Oracle could be different. Change your code to
TO_DATE(SYSDATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI')Just some thoughts, but a testcase on apex.oracle.com is always good to reproduce and help with such a problem.

Simple Tap 2.0 causes power plan idle timer ineffective

Hi, I installed Simple Tap 2.0 and power management 3.62, and I found that simple tap causes power plan idle timer ineffective e.g.. the display wouldn't dim or turn off, machine wouldn't go sleep or hibernate after idling certain time.
So I disabled simple tap run when windows starts.
Btw, power management 3.62 can't uninstall successfully. I uninstall it but after rebooting the system, it is still running.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Chien-Tung

Hi and welcome to the forum. I was not able to reproduce either of these issues that you mentioned:
- With SimpleTap 2.0 running, all of the Power Manager idle timers took effect as expected (screen dim, screen off, system sleep, etc). I am using the default "Energy Saver" profile in Power Manager.
- After uninstalling Power Manager 3.62 and rebooting, Power Manager isn't running anymore. What makes you think it is still running?
Can you please give some more details about the problems you are seeing? What system and OS are you running?
