Samsung red q35 wireless sleep issue ..

Hi -

I'm having a problem with my Q35 , when it goes into sleep mode and then i switch it back on again, the wireless adapter no longer sees my router.

It just doesn't even see the network listed.

I've tried disabling the adpater/then renabling but no joy.

I've checked the power settings and they all look ok.

It takes a reboot to fix, in which case it finds and connects automatically.

Anyone else having the issue?

BTW - i have several computers and am really please with this machine as a thin and light option. I even got Neverwinter Nights 2 to run on it acceptably!!

 

I can't offer a solution. I presume you using the latest Intel driver / software for the wireless. If your sleep mode means suspend, then I have often found it problematic and never use it. I always use hibernation which I have found to be 99% reliable.

Use intel's driver off their website, not samsungs.

 

Just a quick Q about hibernation...at what point do applications such as Limewire stop running/downloading?

Standby or hibernation?

 

Both standby and hibernation involve the computer stopping. Hibernation saves the RAM contents onto the HDD and then the computer shuts down. Standby puts the CPU into a low power state but it is not completely off. For example, the computer can wake up to go into hibernation if the power management is set accordingly.

I know that hibernation will suspend running programs which usually resume where they left off. Personally, I don't use standby because it has given me a few problems over the years. Because the computer is not completely off, there is a greater chance of it waking up. I have set the sleep button on my X60 (Fn+F1) to hibernate.

Hope this helps. I suggest you do your own experimenting to check how your programs behave with standby.

A quick note to say that I have a Q35 on order. Comet is currently selling the red one for 1p under £800. So, within a week, I should have some first-hand knowledge of the Q35.

As far as I know, applications will go down to stop phase at standby or hibernation.

But in standy mode, Bios and or OS will still monitor some devices (as configuration) which to wake up computer again to normal mode. In example: wake-up on mouse, keyboard, and lan. In other word, computer still on but no process running, except monitoring some devices.

Btw, I already have Q35 in my hand. Not enough time to review so much. Hopefull I can contribute some information soon.

 

I've now got my Q35 and a full review is in progress.

The wireless connection quality was poor until I downloaded and installed the latest wireless drivers and software from Intel. The wireless connection is now much better. I haven't tried suspend, but the wireless resumes fine after hibernation.

A couple more points about the Q35:

1. I find that on my red Q35 I can push on the back of the display and cause ripples on the screen. My conclusion is that the red display back is plastic. What do other Q35 owners notice? Is the display back of the silver Q35 metal or plastic?

2. PC World is now listing a Samsung Q35 with Vista, a T5200 CPU and 1GB RAM. I wonder how the RAM is arranged? 512 on board and 512 in the slot?

Response to John,

1. I will check it.
2. Mine is NP-Q35T000/SEK. It comes with Windows XP Professional (Russian version), T5600, 1GB RAM (512 on board and 512 in the slot).

 

Hello John,

1. When I push on the back of the display, it will only cause little ripples. Not so many. It seems quite good construction. Well, I don't have any idea if it is metal or plastic...
