Yoga 11S Windows 8.1 and battery problem

Just got the 11S. First did all the windows updates and then did the windows 8.1 upgrade. With the exception of the missing dolby audio driver, the updates and upgrade went flawlessly.
Then I noticed that the battery was stuck at 62%. I did some research and tried changed the Lenovo Energy Management settings, nothing I could do helped. I uplugged the machine and let the battery drain but if I plugged it in, the percentage would not change.
I finally called tech support and they worked with me for almost 2 hours uninstalling and reinstalling a variety of drivers both for the 11s and other machines that they thought might work. After no success, I was told it was Windows 8.1 which was causing the problem and I needed to reinstal Windows 8.
Reinstalling WIndows 8 did not help the problem. The battery still wouldn't charge at all and the percentage was down to 32%. A return/exchange was set up and I should be getting a new machine.
Question now, I saw the 11s listed as being 8.1 compatible on one of the other forums here. Has anyone successfully upgraded to 8.1 and the battery is still charging and the rest of the machine still works?
Solved!

Received the replacement yesterday. This one seems to be fine. I was able to apply the Windows updates and then upgrade to 8.1 without any major issues. I did have to reinstall the audio drivers to get the dolby home theater boot error fixed but I had to do this with the original machine as well. I installed all the 8.1 drivers on the website as well.
I do have a concern as to whether the original machine was new or a repackaged return. When I first plugged in the original machine, the battery was at 62% which now looking back is odd. The replacement machine was at 60% which makes sense as it is at the limit. 62% is past that but not fully charged either. It is as if someone had already had this machine plugged in, had problems with something, possibly the battery charging, and returned it. The machine was then cleaned up and repackaged but nobody every checked the battery.
It's just a theory but something was not right with the first machine.

I also forgot to mention that when it did have power, it wouldn't let me shut it off to try and conserve the battery life. Right when it powered down it would power right back up.

hi 2jj3,
According to this website, the ACPI\CIND0C60 is the Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Processor Participant Driver (DPTF). Have you tried running the Intel DPTF Driver for 64-bit Windows in Win7 compatibiity mode?
The root\LenovoVhid is most likely the Lenovo Energy Management as discussed in this thread.(this is the software that controls the Function keys). You may try this driver but if it doesn't work, you may need to leave this out for now.

MSI GS70 Temperature and battery problem?

Hello All,
I just bought my GS70 on 2/9/2014 and I have been noticing some serious fan noises from time to time. I eventually got curious and installed Core Temp. All cores average around 126F (54c). Are these numbers too high? Should I be concerned? What are my options?
I also discovered a problem with my battery yesterday. After shutting down yesterday, I disconnected the power from the computer. This morning I tried to turn the computer on but it was unresponsive. I attempted several times all with the same results. I then saw that my power was disconnected and plugged it back in and it turned on fine. However, Windows display that my battery is at 100 percent.
I grew suspicious that it was an isolated event. To test, I against shut down the computer first, then after it was shut down I disconnected the Power plug on the unit. After couple hours I again try to turn it on and was unable to. I then reconnected the power plug and was able to turn on. Against Windows had my battery at 100 percent. I was wondering if anyone else had this situation.
Any help or advices regrading my questions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hello,
About the CPU temp is normal
About battery can you boot on the battery immediately after you turn it off with ac charger disconnected?
[Without hours of waiting]
Do EC reset: https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-reset-the-ec-embedded-controller
then see how its goes.
Also tell your current BIOS and EC versions, look for them in BIOS Setup, system information.

Windows Vista ULT and Quicktime problem

I apologize if this has been posted already, I did a search and found nothing so here goes...
I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate and wanted to get iTunes and Quicktime running as soon as I could. I installed the latest version found on apple's website but every time I try to start Quicktime up, it does absolutely nothing at all. I try to click on a quicktime file and it does nothing as well. Even stranger, I try to uninstall quicktime and it hangs for a sec and then pretends I never asked it to do anything.
iTunes crashes every time I try to run it but it WILL uninstall.
Anyone know a fix to any of this?

Right, I read that article and did what they asked, but it didn't work and doesn't address the problem I have now.
According to the info Apple provided on that article, it implies that iTunes and Quicktime will work with Vista. I can wait for an update if thats the case, I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

IPhone 6 Wi-Fi and Battery Problems

Background info:
-- My first iPhone 6 kept randomly shutting down and turning itself back on while I was in various apps and on the home screen and also while the phone was on stand-by. I called Apple Support and they sent me a replacement without asking too many questions.
-- I don't know if my replacement is new or refurbished, although I'm assuming it's new since I received the replacement about 2.5 weeks after the release date of the iPhone 6, but who knows.
Problem:
The replacement iPhone's wifi and battery.
Wi-Fi:
-- My replacement/current iPhone 6 is running iOS 8.0.2.
-- Trying to load anything while on wifi is so, so, so SLOW. I don't even use it on my phone anymore and I stick to cellular data because that is how bad it is.
-- I did NOT have this issue with my original iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2).
-- My iPad Air (iOS 8.0.2) has absolutely no problems with the wifi.
-- Resetting my network settings fixed the issue for literally 15 minutes before the problem started again.
-- Restoring the phone from backup does not work. Setting up the phone as new does not work.
Battery:
-- My original iPhone 6's battery life was amazing. I could go through the whole day with heavy use with my cellular data and location on and still have a good 40% left on it. It took A LOT to kill even 10% of it.
-- My replacement iPhone's battery is absolutely pathetic. Light use (texting, browsing) with cellular data on and location off for an hour kills 20% of it.
-- Pretty much any "battery-saving" thing I can do is done (like turning off wifi, cellular data, and location unless it's absolutely needed).
I don't want to contact Apple for another possible replacement because I just feel weird about it. Obviously I will if I have to.
Do you guys have any suggestions or fixes? Please help!

I downloaded the Speedtest app on my iPhone and iPad and would randomly test one right after the other. I accumulated about 5 tests a day on each device over the course of 3 days. I set up an appointment at the Genius bar. I told the Genius that I set up my phone as new and then showed him my comparisons of the Speedtest on both devices. He handed me a new (non-refurbished because it hasn't been out for long) phone, no questions. Apparently it was a hardware issue and not an iOS 8 bug.

Windows 8.1 and FTP problems

Hello,
I am having problems with Windows 8.1 and FTP clients.
I am using Syncback (just takes forever) and Filezilla 3.7.3 Portable, the last one gives after some time the following error "The maximum number of clients (10) for this user are already connected".
Setting the maximum number of clients on the server form 10 to 15 has no noticeable result.
When using the same network, computer and software, but now Windows 8 (different partition on the same computer), the FTP job just runs fine with no problems.
Should Windows 8.1 have special settings to be able to use FTP?
Thanks, Wouter

Please try these steps:
Reducing simultaneous connections for incorrectly configured servers
https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Using#Reducing_simultaneous_connections_for_incorrectly_configured_servers
Make sure that you close connection as soon as you are done with them, as some ftp clients will generally leave their connection open unless told otherwise. Additionally, some clients such as Filezilla will allow multiple connections for any new activity,
which uses up connections quickly. While this does make for faster transfers.
I use mostly Cute FTP and I have been sometimes doing it to just close ftp software (Alt+F4) and not closing connection; but the point is that when you have been connected then you must close connection properly as well.

What is this noise, and battery problem on Iphone 4S

There was a battery problem on Iphone 4s so i was worried to buy it, but once I heard that Apple published new ios 5.0.1, I went down to the Apple store near to my house, and I bought Iphone 4S. First time meet with Iphone 4S great Siri, and more faster processer, I liked it, but after I used for 1 week I found many problems, there was battery problem still, and even there was noise problem, expeciallly the noise problem is annoying because when I phone call to my friend or home I can hear it very clealy...
please fix it apple

Reset, will reset the battery meter is this is the problem. To Reset, hold both the Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off", let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If not better, try tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. The set up your iPhone again. If not better, you may need to Restore the iPhone Firmware, I would perform this with iTunes on your computer.

Yoga 11 Windows RT - "Repartition the drive" Problem

Hey all,
I updated my Lenovo ideapad yoga 11 (without making a recovery usb) to windows rt 8.1 preview & as almost everyone is getting the activation issue on tablets, same issue came on mine. so i tried to downgrade from RT 8.1 to RT 8 (which i have already done on one windows surface pro successfully). during the process i accidentally "Repartition the drive". windows was downgrade to RT 8 and running smoothly but half of the drivers were not installed (including Wifi).
In disk management i can see four partitions:
350mb Healthy (Recovery Partition), 200mb Healthy (EFI System Partition), Windows (C: ) 54.06 GB NTFS, 3.52 GB Healthy (Recovery Partition)
Only windows (c: ) partition is accessible and rest of them are inaccessible, hidden & showing only in disk management.
Is there a way to fix this problem. i.e undo repartition the drive or accessing the recovery partition or Lenovo ideapad yoga 11 recovery image
Thanks

Yoga 11s Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 Upgrade - Power Management Compatibility Issue

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 on my Yoga 8.1 device. I followed the application removal instructions before upgrading, then reinstalled the correct drivers for 8.1. Everything works well except for the fact that I get a Windows warning that there is a Power Management Compatibility Issue with the Lenovo ACPI-Compliant Virtual Power Controller. Any idea how to fix this? All hardware in the Device Manager are working properly.
Thanks in advance for your help. I have BIOS 7xxx.

Nate

Go to Solution.

I have this exact same issue, but with the 8.x BIOS.
My 11S also has issues going to sleep automatically when plugged in or on battery power, as well as staying asleep more than one second when on battery power, regardless of whether I initiate sleep manually via the menu or by closing the lid/pressing power button. I figured they could be related to this, but I'm pretty sure I had the same issues before the Windows 8.1 upgrade.

Dell Audigy 2 and Windows SP3 driver and static problems

SB0243
Ok, Creative you and Dell have left us customer behind and giving us the shaft.
I know you tell us to go to Dell to get drivers, and Dell still has the same driver posted they had when i bought my PC in 2003.
Funny thing is that the only driver i find that work without the static problem is the one from the creative CD from 2003. The only catch is that none of the other sound Apps will install or work with windows SP3. So you end up with a card that has sound without static but only in two speaker mode, no mixer, EAX, CSMM, sound bank, etc... you know all the other stuff.
I have installed Danial K driver at one time and they worked good for months then the static came back one day. Now after a fresh install of windows with SP3 i end up here with only the old driver working with just two speakers.
This is very sad that a big company like creative can not create a driver that works with current software. You need to fire all your programmer and go hire two with all the money you paid everyone else and maybe then these two top programmer might be able to make something that works. This has become a joke in the sound industry.
It was said that this ship is sinking, i think it has sunk at this point, us rats are jumping ship to some other card that works. Most likey it is not going to be from creative.

?Hey, I cant get CMSS to work here, im on windows 7 32bit, wich CMSS version are you using? I cannot open THX Console or EAX Console.

Wi-fi failure and battery problems started at the same time

I can't get the wi-fi to connect to any network. It stopped working a couple of days ago. I have tried with my own wireless network at home and several other networks as well.
I have tried the following:
*Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings
*Restore to Factory Settings
*Tried my network without security and with WPA (and yes I know the password)
*With and without MAC-address filter in Router, added the iPods MAC-address (called Wi-Fi Address in the iPod)
*Changed channel for my Wi-fi network
*Tried with and without my wi-fi repeater
*My router is broadcasting the SSID
*Tried to join the network when it is found by the iPod, with 1 as strenght but then I get "Could not join the network"
*Tried to add the network as other network, typing in the SSID the it says that it can't find the network.
I have tried a mix of the above and as I stated above I have also tried other networks that it has been able to join without problems before.
Some info:
iPod Touch 16 GB Model MA627ZG
Version 2.2.1 (5H11)
Purchased in December 2007.
Router: Netgear DG834GT
Firmware: V1.02.04
Wireless Repeater D-link DWL-G710
At the same time as this started my battery started to get drained very quickly. 2 hours of listening to an audio book and the battery is empty again.
I have wi-fi off
Auto brightness off
Fetch new data off
EQ off
The iPod gets very hot when attached to my computer via USB to get battery charged and I don't have it in a case.

I am having excatly same problem. It started about two days ago, but I did not update or installed anything just before this issue came up. It looks like it came from nowhere.
It feels like the touch is constantly trying to connect to wifi, even if it is sleeping and even if the wifi is off! That would explain the very short battery life.
I have tried to update to 2.2.1. It did not help. I have tried to restore both to 2.2 (which was on when this issue came up) and both to 2.2.1.
I tried to revert to older firmware 7.3.2 on my airport express. But it it did not seem to make any difference. My macbook is still seeing the wifi as well as before, so it should not be a router problem.
as well, to comment on ipod being connected to turned off/hibernated computer. it does not make any difference whether it is connected to it or not. Computer does not suck the energy from the ipod. It can only charge it. So whether it is connected or not, the ipod should discharge slowly, which it does not in our case.

Bluetooth problem in ideapad s210 touch windows 8.1 and audio problem

Hi .. i have lenovo s 210
i have a problem with audio output, the sound is muted and it said that my bluetooth audio device can not be started. i download realtek High definition from the support system and the audio system start working again. But when i check the device manager the bluetooth problem still not fixed. It said i had a code 10 problem. I just recently update my windows to 8.1, but before there is no problem with the audio... and recently i find out that i can not use my bluetooth too. and all the bluetooth system seems doesn't work out
what should i do??
thanks

Actually, I solved this issue myself after a while.
I induced a system restore prior to the date when I began to experience this error.
It then happened once more, so I went to the "PC Settings" menu and selected "Update and recovery".
There were apparently updates to be installed, so I clicked "More details/information", and found that there were 3 Intel-related drivers that were listed, but for some reason, Windows 8 didn't automatically install them, so I checked each one of them and proceeded to install them and it has been smooth sailing for me ever since that.
SO.
A piece of advice for all those who have experienced the issue I detailed in my former post:
Check what updates need to be installed on your computer in the "PC Settings" app thing, and see if there are any driver-realted updates (like for your graphics card, especially).
