X300 and Energy Manager

Hi everybody,
I am using an X300 with Windows7. I installed the Lenovo Energy manager 3.11a. I am not really happy with it. I created a new power scheme but it is not visible when I press Fn+F3. Moreover, even when I choose a scheme with less power consumption, the fan seems to be constantly running on high and the system temperature is also quite high. This is very different to WinXP which I was using before. I should mention, that I am logged in with a limited user account. Anybody having similar observations or does anybody have some good advice (apart from uninstalling the Energy Manager...) ;-)
Best wishes
Ronald

Hi Ronald63de!
Try Power Manager 3.12:

Also make sure you have the latest Power Management Driver 1.60:

And Hotkey drivers to go with those:

Problem with Energy Management and One key Theater

I have a Lenovo G560 laptop. Actually, I have first installed Windows 7 x64 on my lappy but it caused many problems so I again reinstall windows 7 32 bit. But now Energy Management and One key theater are not working at all.
Is there any fix for it???

As I understand you are unable to use OneKey Theater and Lenovo energy management.
The installation of both OneKey Theater and Power Management are necessary for using OneKey Theater. Through "Start" à "All Programs" à "Lenovo", or "Start" à "Control Panel" à "Programs" à "Programs and Features", you can find out whether OneKey Theater has been installed.
If it has been installed, you need to make sure the following two items has been started in “Start à Run à msconfig à Startup”
After that, if OneKey Theater is still unable to be started, you can run it manually by double clicking "Onekey Studio" through "Local Disk(C" à "Program Files" à "Lenovo" à "OneKey Theater".
If OneKey Theater has been started, you can see "Onekey Studio.exe" under the "Processes" tab of "Windows Task Manager".
OneKey Theater can be download from the mentioned below web link.

Lenovo Energy Management and Windows 10

Hello everyone (I don't know if this post should be here or in the Windows 10 section, so apologies if it's in the wrong place). I have a Lenovo Z50-70 and the upgrade to Window 10 it's ready to install. I just downloaded all drivers for Windows 10 but I noticed that there is one that doesn't have a Windows 10 version: "Lenovo Energy Management". For me, this is the most useful thing Lenovo has preinstalled in my computer, especially the conservation mode... And it would be extremely annoying to lose this utility. So... Is Lenovo going to release a W10 version of the Energy Management tool? Either way, would the W8.1 version work anyway on Windows 10? Thanks.

Ok, I just finished doing the clean install and everything works smoothly. I had an issue with the drivers though (the Intel HD control panel didn't work, but I downloaded the most recent version from their website and now it works fine). I didn't have any problems with the Energy Manager with the upgrage nor with the clean installation though. However, what @dylan6994 says is true, until you reinstall the Energy Manager your battery will be stuck in the mode that it was before the update, so I would recommend to install W10 with the conservation mode disabled.Thank you for the information about Energy Manager as that would suck being stuck at 60%. Is there a thread for Y50-70 Windows 10 Upgrades? I keep seeing various posts about issues with drivers on the Y50-70 and I would like to know if any issues like a concise list. The Y50-70 is listed on the compatibility list but always nice to know what drivers will need to be manually installed. I know there was an issue with nVidia drivers has that been fixed? Anyways, thanks for the heads up!

G700 - Energy Management says battery is not genuine and won't charge it!

Hello
Apologies if someone has already posted this query and got a response. My G700 has Lenovo's Energy Management software (8.0.2.4) installed. Until recently, the battery would charge (and drain) as expected - it is the original that came with the laptop a few weeks ago. I'm running Windows 8 and haven't upgraded to 8.1 yet.
However, now I get a pop-up box from the software every time I boot up from saying that "the system does not support batteries that are not genuine Lenovo-made or authorized.....". Also, the software is preventing the battery from being charged, so I'm having to use the mains power.
Lenovo's support has suggested that it might be a (physical) problem with the battery, but it seems to be a software-related. Please can someone help with this one? Is there an update to the software that I can install? Can it be disabled to allow the battery to be charged? Does the problem go away with an upgrade to Windows 8.1?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Ammo23,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
This error may be a Software/Firmware Related or the battery is really bad and being read as not genuine.
can you try Doing this,
1. Try Performing a power Drain and BIOs Reset.
Remove the AC adapter and the battery, Now Hold Down the power Button for at least 10 sec. This will drain the Mainboard.
Reconnect the Ac and Battery and Turn on the system,Right away start tapping F2 to boot into BIOS Setting.
Hit F9 to Load defaults and enter for Yes then hit F10 To save and Exit then Enter for Yes.
2. When Booted Back up to Windows,
Open Device Manager and under Battery Look for Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control method Battery
Right Click On it and uninstall it, Restart after uninstallation.
Check if the issue will be the same after the Steps.
If still the same, Uninstall the Lenovo Energy Management from Control Panel / Programs and restart the system.
check if the system will charge without the Energy Management Software,
If the same thing happened I would Suggest you call Lenovo Support right away and report the steps your did and still getting the same result.
Let me know your Findings
Cheers!

Energy Manager interface with Outlook on Yoga 2 Pro

I have a new Yoga 2 Pro and also have Outlook installed with two mail profiles defined. Whenever a reboot the machine I get a mail popup asking which profile I want to use. I have turned off the option in settings to use outlook so I'm not sure why this is still happening. I know it is energy manager because if I uninstall it it goes away. I need energy manager however for the yellow issue and the battery conservation mode.
Any help is appreciated.

This problem has been a pain-in-the-neck to me. Every hour, suddenly up pops a prompt for an Outlook password.
To partially deal with it, I wrote a very simple Python program that I start at system startup and runs every two seconds afterwards. It checks to see if there is an Outlook password prompt pending without the main Outlook window open behind it. If it finds this situation, the program clicks the Cancel button on the Outlook password prompt dialog box.
Here is the Python program (give it a pyw suffix so it doesn't clutter up your system with a window):
import os, sys, glob, time
import win32gui as w32
from win32con import *
if __name__=="__main__":
    INTERVAL_DELAY = 2
    while True:
        hwndPswdDlg = w32.FindWindow(None, "Outlook Data File Password")
        hwndOutlkWindow = w32.FindWindowEx (None, None, "rctrl_renwnd32", "Microsoft Outlook")
        if (hwndPswdDlg != 0 and hwndOutlkWindow == 0): # password window without main Outlook window
            w32.PostMessage(hwndPswdDlg, WM_COMMAND, IDCANCEL, 0) # press cancel button
        time.sleep(INTERVAL_DELAY)

G510 - Lenovo Energy Management on Windows 8.1 Pro

Hello,
Today I installed a fresh Windows 8.1 Pro copy on my Lenovo G510 Notebook.
Everything went well and all drivers which I had downloaded from the support site installed successfully.
There was no Energy Management Software available for Windows 8.1, so I figured that Windows 8 version might work. So, I installed it but after a restart, Windows message center showed an error saying that Energy Management software was incompatible with this version of Windows.
So, what are your suggestions? I mainly use Energy Management to keep my battery at 50-60% charge because I always keep it plugged in and rarely take it outside with me on travels. When would you be releasing a software update? Or can I use Thinkpad's Windows 8.1 version of EM?
Side note: Just wanted to say/ask a few things. Didn't wanted to create a separate thread.
Is it okay to update Video drivers for Intel and/or AMD graphics directly from the website?
I saw that the AMD drivers were outdated and decided to update them from the AMD website, but after update there was an error reported in the log of Installer. I don't remember the error specifically but after the update, in device manager it would show AMD Radeon HD 8000M Series, instead of my specific model i.e 8570M.
So I rolled back. Also there used to be an easy access to Dolby Equilizer in the taskbar but the new drivers do not have that feature and I have to go in control panel to find the equilizer (I feel the sound quality has deterioated).
Please update the drivers, as there are a number of updated even after I installed all the latest drivers that are provided on the support site. Example, Realtek Card Reader (Windows reported different models than which were available on the official Realtek website but I installed anyway, they don't seem to misbehave), Conexant Audio driver of size 180MB, from Windows Update ( After this update, I cannot switch between Voice Recording and VOIP, VOIP is greyed out), Intel Video Driver update from Windows Update, which I didnot install because I play games on my laptop, and I fear this will ruin the Switchable graphics options, and AMD drivers from officlal AMD website for the same reasons that I did not install Intel's.
I am sorry for the long post. But any help and feedback will be greatly appriciated.

I have installed Lenovo Energy Management 8.0.2.4 for Windows 8 (G510), in compatibility mode on my G510 running Windows 8.1 Pro.
For now it is not giving a compatibility error.
I did a little searching and found out that G510s is very similar to G510 model, except the touchscreen and Nvidia Graphics. My G510 has AMD Radeon. I found Lenovo Energy Management 1.0.0.31 for Windows 8.1 (G510s). Going to install that.
Also, the Drivers CD which came with the box had Energy Management v1.0.0.24 and 32bit & 64bit were in different setups. I think this will be more compatible.
I need experts advice. Please reply.
EDIT: This works! v1.0.0.31 has that similar interface to the EM software that came in the CD. So far no compatibility errors as well.

Energy Management Hangs

I have a Yoga 2 Pro. I have updated the BIOS, loaded the latest Energy Management Driver, and am on Window 8.1 update 1. Pretty much up to date. When I run the Energy Management program, I can cycle between the 4 modes and that works. If I open the side panel (like to change settings), the entire program hangs and I must shut it down with Task Manager.
Basically, I like the program, but I can't change conservation mode, etc. as it hangs when going into the settings. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still hangs. Sometimes I think it is trying to run multiple version of the programs as I see more than one icon in the system tray.
Any thoughts how to make this work so that I can change conservation mode, etc.?

Make sure you are running the latest BIOS and Lenovo Energy Management.

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

Lenovo Energy Management - Where is my Dust Removal button?

Hello. After installation my Windows 8.1 which i downloaded from Microsoft DreamSpark i installed all drivers from a CD which came with my laptop in a box.
I installed Lenovo Energy Management and I had button to remove dust. After updating my system via WindowsUpdate this button dissapeared. It's gone.
My laptop is Lenovo G500s (without touchable screen).
Anyone had same problem like me?
I want to emphasize that after fresh installation of Win 8.1 without any uptates (Windows 8.1 Pro - Build 9600) i had that "remove dust" button.
Sorry for my bad english spelling but I'm from europe. Hope you forgive me.

hi lyczewskiand,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
If this is the Dust removal that you are saying.
If your system is Windows 8.1
Open Control Panel / Uninstall a program and uninstall the Lenovo Energy Management that is currently installed.
Now try and install this version
Lenovo Power Management
Check if this can be found on this version
If not can you post a screenshot of what showing up on your end.
Thanks,

Lenovo Energy Management

Will there be a Lenovo Energy Management software version for Windows 8.1? I have install Win 8.1 last week from MSDNA an can't activate WLAN. All Drivers are working fine.
When I try to activate WLAN via the Lenovo FN-Key on my S205, Windows just enaybles or disables Airplane Mode.

Dear H4NN1BAL,
Welcome to Lenovo Community,
Unfortunately sir, the official release date of windows 8.1 and its support will start on 18-10-2013, so until then we will not be able to provide you with a release date of the Energy Management for Windows 8.1.
Best Regards,
Assal

and installed it manually.
Good luck!

Make Energy Management Utility keep brightness

Hi,
I have a Lenovo G550L which I use with Windows XP SP3.
I have installed Lenovo Energy Management 3.0.3.0 and set it up. I like that it supports CPU throttling, because I couldn't set this up without installing the utility. One thing is bugging me a little bit and it's the automatic setting of brightness. There are two states of brightness that can be set. First is brightness when plugged in and second is brightness when running on batteries. Not a bad idea, but unnecessary for me. Okay then, since there is no leave brightness alone button, I set both to the brightest. Then I adjust brightness as night comes to lower levels (only with the Fn key, not by adjusting in the Energy Management center). Then I unplug my notebook and the brightness goes up to the maximum.
No, I don't want Lenovo Energy Management Utility to change brightness at all. It should leave it on the level that has been set manually by the Fn key. How can I do this?
Thanks

The PowerManagement sofware for the Thinkpad line is more powerful than the version for the consumer series.
Although you may need some time to figure out the different settings I'm sure you'll find out everything you could do before and even more ;-)
