U430 Touch: Energy Manager kills Bluetooth

As soon as I install the Energy Manager, Bluetooth just fails to start. Bluetooth shows up in the Device Manager, but cannot be startet.
Tested with (latest) original Lenovo Drivers and Intel's Drivers.
Any Ideas? I need Bluetooth for my external Mouse.

 I also installed the new version of the energy manager but it had not solved my bleutooth issue completly.
I solved the bleutooth challenge on the "Lenovo U430 touch" running Windows 8.1
by reinstalling the "Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) 4.0 + HS-adapter".
With this driver "gawy08ww"  for Windows 8.1 from the lenovo website, WARNING  this driver is said (by lenovo)
not intended for the "Lenovo U430 touch" and therefore be sure to make a system restore point before taking any further actions. Also be aware I will not provide any further assistance and that following the installation steps in this "forum post" is completly at your own risk. 
1) Make a complete system restore point ,to be assured that should something go wrong you can revert your system to a previous state.
2)Turn off Bluetooth by opening the charm bar on the right of the screen, then click "Settings"
then click "Change pc settings", and click on tab "PC and devices.
Now click on tab "Bluetooth" where you will find a "On OFF" slide. put this in the off position.
3) Now install the driver for Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) 4.0 + HS-adapter
by clicking on  "gawy08ww.exe" and follow the steps of the installer.
4) Reboot after installation
Good luck!

  • U430 touch - Bluetooth Connection regularly breaks down

    All,
    I have a U430 touch with Windows 8.1 64bit and work with a Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse with Bluetooth connection.
    The Bluetooth connection regularly breaks down and the Mouse stops working. The internal Pad is working properly.
    In this situation I go to "PC Configuration" / "PC and Periherie" and click to "Bluetooth" (with the internal pad, because the mouse is not working ;-) )
    The Bluetooth connection "heals" immediately and the Mouse starts working.
    Unfortunately I have this behaviour every 5-10 Minutes and I do not see a clear pattern when it happened.
    Does anyone have an idea, a solution for this? It is really annoying.
    Please find enclosed the driver and Programs I have installed.
    Thanks to all

  • U310 Energy Management Bluetooth Icon

    I recently installed the Lenovo Energy Management program on my U310 to take better care of my battery. Since doing this, I now have this annoying Bluetooth icon with an "X" through it that pops up about twice a minute. This is very distracting and seems unnecessary. If anyone knows how to fix this or turn this off, that would be much appreciated.
    Note: I originally had Windows 8 on this system, now I have Windows 7 Professional. I'm not even sure if this system had Bluetooth to begin with, but there is clearly one device my computer has not been able to identify and I wonder if the Bluetooth driver got lost while switching from Windows 8 to Windows 7? Any help is appreciated!

    hi Chellelin 92,
    Thanks for using Lenovo Community Forums!
    Uninstall the Lenovo Energy Management again from Control Panel / Programs
    Then reinstall it from here

    And Can you check the hardware ID of that unknown device You have under device manager and post it back here.

  • [U430 Touch] Massive Treiberprobleme

    Hallo, mein zwei Monate alter U430 Touch hat von Anfang an diverse Probleme mit verschiedenen Geräten. Angefangen hat es mit dem Display, dann hat das Bluetooth Probleme gemacht und jetzt kommt neuerdings auch das WLAN dazu (nähere Ausführungen zu den einzelnen Problemen siehe unten). In allen Fällen scheinen die jeweiligen Treiber die Probleme zu verursachen und ich frage mich, wie es sein kann, dass bei einem neuen Laptop mit relativ frischem Windows so viele Treiberprobleme auftreten können. zum Display:Wie bereits in diesem Thread beschrieben blieb das Display nach Anschluss eines externen Monitors (auch nach Neustart) einfach schwarz. Die MEHRFACHE Neuinstallation der Treiber (Grafik und Chipset) löste das Problem dann nach einer Weile. zum Bluetooth:Ich habe eine Bluetooth-Tastatur und eine Bluetooth-Maus am Laptop in Benutzung. Mit zunehmender Häufigkeit bricht die Bluetooth-Verbindung zu BEIDEN Geräten plötzlich ab (mittlerweile ca. 5 bis 10 mal am Tag). Manchmal hilft es schon mit dem Touchpad unter PC-Einstellungen -> PC und Geräte zu den Bluetooth-Einstellungen zu navigieren und die Geräte funktionieren sofort wieder. Manchmal stürzt das Bluetooth-Gerät aber auch komplett ab und es hilft nur noch ein Reboot. In der Ereignisanzeige heißt es dann "BTHUSB - Der lokale Bluetooth-Adapter ist aus einem unbekannten Grund fehlgeschlagen und wird nicht verwendet. Der Treiber wurde entladen". Im Gegensatz zu dem Display-Problem haben mehrfache Treiber-Neuinstallationen bisher keine Abhilfe geschaffen. zum WLAN:Als ob die genannten Probleme bei der täglichen Arbeit nicht schon nervig genug wären, fängt seit ca. zwei Tagen auch das WLAN an zu spinnen. Trotz aufgebauter WLAN-Verbindung zum Router ist von Zeit zu Zeit (ca. zwei mal am Tag) kein Internetzugriff mehr möglich. Abhilfe schafft entweder ein Reboot oder das Deaktivieren und anschließende Reaktivieren des WLAN Adapters über den Geräte-Manager. Reaktivieren aus dem Standby:In den vergangenen zwei Wochen ist es zudem ca. drei mal passiert, dass der Laptop beim Erwecken aus dem Standby abstürzte. In der Ereignisanzeige stand irgendetwas von Problemen mit dem Energiemanagement. Kann es für die verschiedenen Treiberprobleme eine zentrale Ursache geben? Wie kann ich die Probleme in den Griff bekommen? MfG Benedikt

    Hallo Marcel, das LEM hatte ich wegen des Display-Problems vor einiger Zeit bereits deinstalliert. Auf dein Anraten habe ich es vor zwei Tagen wieder installiert und seither folgendes Verhalten beobachtet: Display Problem ist zurückBluetooth Problem hat sich "verändert" aber besteht noch immer. Verändert heißt, dass die BT-Verbindungen gestern ein paar Sekunden nach dem Abreißen immer wieder von selbst funktionierten - was zunächst ein Vortschritt war. Heute aber schmiert das BT andauernd in der Form ab, dass nur noch ein Neustart hilft.WLAN-Problem wurde nicht beeinflusst - besteht also noch immerInsgesamt war die Installation des LEM also eher kontraproduktiv aber offensichtlich scheinen die Probleme (zum Teil) tatsächlich in irgendeiner Form mit dem Energiemanagement zusammen zu hängen. Wie soll ich nun weiter vorgehen? Schöne GrüßeBenedikt

    Gehe bitte einmal wie folgt vor um das Problem zu lösen:
    Sollte das Problem nach Änderung immer noch vorhanden sein, installiere bitte einmal den LENOVO Energy Manager neu.

  • Bug report: Energy Manager causes slow performance...

    Very slow Windows Startup..
    Energy Manager's plans and the problem occured using any plan as I remember, and it wasn't an issue with the maximum processor state. I had heavy disk usage, especially access to the Page File, which is what the person in the second link I posted also described. CPU usage was low. The disk usage was seemingly not related to Energy Manager (Chrome was usually the worst), but removing Energy Manager completely resolved the problem. If you would find it helpful. I'm quite confident that even with Maximum Processor state at %100, CPU usage was low when it was slow, and that disk access was the culprit.
    previously have use 1.0.0.31 or 32 not sure.
    Windows 8.1
    Im using Lenovo Energy Management Driver
    1.0.0.28
    4.6.2014

    I actually have the same problem.  Sorry to work on a old thread, but...
    I've got my Lenovo B50-70 less than 1 month ago, and had switched it to SSD and had set everything up and is working perfectly.  However there are a bunch of lenovo programs that came pre-installed.  This computer is used mainly for work and I really don't like programs that suddenly pop-up and ask you to do stuff, as it is quite distracting, and with Lenovo Energy Manager being one of them so I removed it.  (I did do some research before I remove...)
    Everything was fine, until when I try to switch on my wifi (I usually have it off, as I use LAN most of the time)...  For the B50-70 there is a airplane button on F7, which allow the user to switch wifi and bluetooth on/off.  That button was unresponsive...  After some digging it is actually related to the power energy manager being removed.  So I've downloaded the latest version from Lenovo and it was working again...
    However though, whenever I start my computer it is taking so long to start...  And I tried uninstalling the power energy manager and it solved the problem...  And I am stuck with either having no wifi on/off ability or a really slow boot, which loses the whole purpose of the SSD.  After you enter your username and password it originally takes around 5~10 seconds to login, now it takes over 1 minute.
    I have found this other link, which says Lenovo Power Manager having the same problem.
    https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/Bug-report-Power-Manager-causes-slow-performa...
    There is a solution, which you can change the registry to switch a function off.  I've tried it and it didn't work, which is not surprising as it's a different program..  But I am hoping that Lenovo can provide a similar solution for Lenovo Energy Manager...

  • WIN XP Pro on Lenovo G500 - Drivers - Energy Management

    I bought a new G500 and asked the vendor to install WIN XP SP3 PRO - 32 bit from my existing disc.
    The vendor installed it, but it is not working perfectly.
    The Device Manager shows a few items - such as:
    (01.) ACPI/VPC2004 and
    (02.) Network Controller (Device ID being PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0032&SUBSYS_32187AA)
    (03.) Bluetooth USB Host Controller
    as unknown items.
    Regarding the  (01.) ACPI/VPC2004 the following Lenovo Support page
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/diagnose-and-fix/detail.page?DocID=HT071645
    says to download and install Energy Management with proper Operating System. The said page also contains a link, but that link leads to another page:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=DRVR-MATRIX
    Here, on the new page, I just can not figure out where to go or what to do.
    Can anybody please guide this oldman how to install WIN XP SP 3 Pro - 32 bit on my new G500? What are the drivers required for installationof WIN XP SP 3 Pro - 32 bit and where from to download them (if possible with links to download pages), and a guide about the sequence for driver installation, i.e. which driver to install first (after installation of WIN XP) and which one at the last of the process, so that I can install the same.
    Thanks in advance

    Just to add to the knowledge base: I've been installing Windows XP SP3, 32-bit edition on a Lenovo G500; my findings so far follow. I haven't tested 64-bit. To determine of your system is 32-bit or 64-bit, see: http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-032028.htm
    Ethernet Controller
    The driver at the touslesdrivers link for the G500 Network Controller (hard-wired ethernet) posted by damon007 worked on my machine (G500 purchased Dec 2013). Here's the link again for reference:

    Device manager now lists the device as:

  • Cursor disappears on new U430 Touch

    I have a new U430 Touch, less than a week old. It frequently loses the cursor at startup/login. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the touchpad driver--no difference. To regain the cursor, I have to log off and back on, sometimes two or three times, or else restart. I see that others have had similar problems with other computers. Is there a real fix to this?

    If your machine came with Elan touchpad, RMA it to get it changed to Synaptics as Elan's are crappy and known to cause problems. To determine if you have Elan or Synaptics, get to Device Manager, Mice and other pointing devices, click on the device there and check the manufacturer.

  • Lenovo Energy Management broken under Windows 8 - Shortcuts don't work

    I've noticed that the Energy Management tool does not work properly under Windows 8 on a U300S.
    Especially stuff like the keyboard shortcuts don't work:
    Pressing F7 to toggle the wireless and bluetooth settings doesn't bring up the usual onscreen-menu like it does in Windows 7
    The buttons to toggle the display brightness bring up the Windows 8 style brightness indicator but doesn't work.

    Anyone?

  • B570 - Windows 8 - Blue screen crash & energy management error

    I upgraded to windows 8 on the day it came out in the uk with no problems, some of my apps had to be reinstalled but nothing major.
    the bluetooth app had to be uninstalled, never use it so not a major issue. the energy managment error just pops up on each start and i just click run without help. Seems to work fine, but would prefer for it not to have to ask me this.
    Anyway everything looked to be okay and then i got the blue screen crash. Said something about a kernal crash. This has happened about every 2 days now since the install and is very annoying, just happens very randomly even when the laptop is really fast. 
    I spoke to lenovo's support team and they said new drivers will be installed automatically and it should resolve. It hasnt. 
    Was just wondering if there is any fix for this? any new drivers out that have to be installed, or bios settings anything?
    Please help. Thanks

  • No sound from speakers on new U430 touch laptop

    I just purchased a new Ideapad U430 touch laptop last week, but have never been able to get the speakers to work properly. Here's what I've tried so far: Checked sound settings to make sure speakers were not disabled.Updated the Realtek audio driver to latest version.Uninstalled and re-installed the Realtek audio driver.Ran tests through the the Realtek HD Sound Manager (speaker icons light up and test appears to run okay, but still no sound).Ran all available Windows updates.Tested headphone jack, and it always works fine.This has been the case since before I installed any software, so I doubt there are conficting issues there. Sometimes when I first start up the laptop, I'll briefly get a few seconds of scratch sound from the left speaker only. After a few seconds, it always cuts out and never comes back on until the next startup. I've never heard any noise from the right speaker. Here's what I'm running: Ideapad U430 touch running Windows 8.1. Intel i5-4200 processor, 8gb RAM, 64-bit.Driver: Realtek High Definition Audio 6.0.1.7133 Any suggestions? Since the sound does come out a bit scratchy and only from the left speaker, I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue.

    What firmware version do you have? Latest version caused the left speaker to stop working randomly on my U430. Check the speaker wires connections if you're comfortable opening the laptop.

  • G550 Energy Management Problem

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if anyone else experienced this before.
    When you set Energy Management software to "Super Energy Saver" mode, it turns off a couple of functions like sound card, bluetooth, ethernet etc. and Wireless Network Card is one of them.
    The problem is when you turn it back to "Balanced" or to some other option, the particular card remains closed. You can choose not to close it from the advanced options menu, however you can only access advanced options menu when you're using "Super Energy Saver" mode (the button dissapears in other modes). So, it is a vicious circle. I've tried activating wireless manually, but it looks like it is already open (device manager etc.) everywhere.
    At the very end I've tried uninstalling the program, which didn't work either; the card remained closed, and I was left without internet until I've noticed that I had the setup file of it. At the moment, I have to use "Super Energy Saver" mode, and set it to not to close Wireless Network Card.
    Where do you think the program disables Wireless? How can I reopen it?
    Thank you.

    first of all, you need power management. it also includes system files that you can use turn on/off some functions such as wireless.
    after re-installing, press fn + f5 and/or switch on/of the wireless.

  • [U430 Touch] Unstable wifi

    I have an Ideapad U430 Touch that is not capable of reliably connecting to our home wifi. When it does connect, it performs slowly. The wifi router is brand new, linksys ea6350. Three other laptops and several cell phones, ipads, and even my pool controller have no problems connecting to the secured wifi and staying there. The U430 will sometimes connect from wakeup, sometimes not. When it does not connect, the only way I've succeeded in re-connecting is to force the laptop to "forget this network" and then entering the password again. Many times I'll enter the password and get a "cannot connect to this network" error. Its not a mistyped password because that gives me a "password is incorrect error" instead (I tried it on purpose). I updated the U430's ethernet adapter driver and no change.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Typical problem with old and buggy Lenovo drivers. Install the latest Intel drivers and all your issues will dissapear.

    Hi there,hello MclarenII and all with this  problem.
    I had same problem with new LEM- Lenovo Energy Management from Lenovo website.But now is preety fine.
    After couple times reinstaling my system i'm find out how to do Now works superb with AC plugged or unplugged (battery).No any CPU errors like before 70%,100% ,60% after couple 5 to 20 sec.
    Time for solution for G580
    Solution for  you is Fresh Re-install Win7 and put drivers in correct order like this:
    1.Chipset
    2.Lem 7.0.3.3  not  higher!!! This is Lenovo Energy Management Virtual ACPI

    11.TouchPad
    12.Bluetooth
    13.Camera
    This is correct  order to driver instalations for Win7 64/32
    My own  secret formula for instalations without any errors of CPU warning.
    100% correct
