N145 Hibernate

[Tedh]

How do I get my N145 JP03 to hibernate?

The machine has Windows 7 Starter.

I have sleep when the lid closes, but I do not know how to set a hibernate option so that it hibernates after a certain time period.

Trouble is sleep just drains the battery and hibernate should not do that.

Go into Control Panel then Power Options
on the left choose What closing lid does

change When I press Power button to SWITCH OFF (it probably read SLEEP!)
change When I press the Sleep button SLEEP
change When I close the Lid to HIBERNATE (it probably read SLEEP!)

IF YOU CANNOT SELECT HIBERNATE…

Go back to Power Options… to the right, see Change Settings… (Click this link)
in the new window, select Sleep…
then select Hibernate after.

IF YOU CANNOT access Hibernate, still, Above this you should see…
Change settings that are currently available (Click this link)

You should now be able to change the Hibernate settings…

Go back to ‘What closing the lid does’ and change – as above.

ALSO AFTERWARDS…
Right click the Taskbar across the bottom of the screen
Choose Properties (the very bottom choice)
Click on the top, middle tab ‘Start Menu’
Change Power button action to Hibernate…

Now, either closing the lid or choosing ‘Start’ [Hibernate] will Hibernate your netbook…

While in Power settings you might like to change the warning about a low battery to
low = 20%
Alarm = 15%
critical = 10%

One should NEVER allow a battery to get much lower than 5% it does them NO GOOD at all

Sorry I haven’t gotten back to this, I have been unwell and actually forgot about it.

*********** No Hibernate, No Change Settings

Change settings that are currently available (Click this link)
***********
There is a Change plan settings, but no Hibernate Option
Change settings that are currently available – No Hibernate Option

*********** No Hibernate

Go back to ‘What closing the lid does’ and change – as above.
====================================================

I have the same trouble on all settings:
Samsung Optimized
Power Saver
Balanced
High Performance

None of the drop downs in the various screens work – they are all greyed out.

I can see a “Hibernate After”, in the Advanced Settings drop down (Under Sleep). It has –
On Battery: Never
Plugged in: Never

My system is an N145 jpo3UK, Windows 7 Starter and I (as far as I know) am the administrator.

Ted,

not sure if this is the same issue, but are you running fastboot/faststart?
That seems to adversly effect hibernation – http://www.sammymobile.com/forum/threads/15483-NF310-doesn-t-hibernate-with-win7!?highlight=hibernate and http://www.sammymobile.com/forum/threads/14862-n145-plus-lid-close-power-off?highlight=fastboot

Not sure if its the same problem you are having but sounds similar I think (maybe)?

I’m not sure. I don’t use the book that often. I did have to do a full recover some months back as an update trashed the entire system. I learned about that from a fone call to Samsung Tech Support. Prior to that I did have the hibernate option and it worked.

[Tedh]

Turned out that the fast start was on. I turned it off (as per the link to that post) and the hibernate option became available in the drop down. Just boots slower now on cold start up, but I can live with that as I kept having to do cold boots all the time and that used more battery power. So far I get between 8-9 hours on a full battery charge, so that side of things I’m happy about, but this tiny keyboard is not all that good as I touch type and the shift key is stupidly small.

Thanks for your input on this
