What is the built in power saving mode? Does it go into sleep mode when inactive for a certain time, but still open? Seems like it could get annoying.

The built in sleep mode is probably why it lags sometimes because I don't use it for a while and leave it on. But yeah, it is somewhat annoying because you don't get some kind of warning of when it does go into sleep mode.

If you close your laptop on sleep yes it does use some power but nothing too noticeable, so if you put it on sleep and had a full charge, even charged half way, and it was dead the next day then there's something wrong. Also your laptop doesn't use power if not in sleep mode. My battery has been working fine since I got it. Unless you had this problem before the new battery I agree with the first answer in saying that you got a bad battery. You should return it and hopefully get a good one this time. Hoped this helped.

I have not noticed this problem with mine. In fact I'm using it right now without being plugged in. You might want to check your power settings under the screen saver settings. Perhaps it is set to put your computer to sleep or turn off the display when it is running on the battery. When I first got mine, I had to change the "choose what closing the lid does" settings so it wouldn't go to sleep and stop whatever I was downloading when I would close the lid. Hope this helps!

We do not use the unit in this configuration, but I have found that power saving features make the device unresponsive for a while, so we turned the feature off altogether. Hope it helps.

It will remain in what ever setting at the time you turn it off. For long idle times, you want it to be in the open/wild mode. If you leave it in the closed mode, it will drain your battery.

I have had no problems whatsoever. I have had it for over a year now (I think). The battery does get warm so I try to put it in a well ventilated place to let the air cool it as much as possible. This happens whether my computer is on for 1 hour or 10 hours - I do not leave my computer in sleep mode.

Mine actually goes to sleep when closing but doesn't come up when opened. You have to press the start button to wake up

You are correct - it goes into Sleep Mode when closed and wakes up when opened.

I had mine for about 3 months & only had to charge it once. The sleep mode, if stop using it, I believe it's like 60 seconds & it goes into sleep mode. You may have to hit a key twice to awaken the keyboard back up again.I loved it, however, the left side of my keyboard died & I never heard back from the manufacturer about receiving a new one.

Pretty sure there is a standby mode (warm) but I believe it's recommended to turn it off if you are not going to use it for an extended length of time.

It's probably going into "sleep mode". Does it come on when you move your mouse around?

I've been using my Eee Slate 4gb/64g version since the end of Jan. I can get 4-4.5hrs easy on battery in power saving mode with the screen dimmed, and at it's lowest setting its quite bright and clear. This is no noticable lag, only glass effects are turnedoff in power saving mode. I did this yestuday while in a meeting, running excel, ie8 or or ie9, and an X-server (cygwin) using wireless and keyboard/mouse. The latest service pack (Win7 sp1) stopped the fans from running too.

Yes it puts it into sleep mode. Make sure you buy cover they supports this function. Haven't noticed any significant battery life reduction in this mode.

Todd's experience above matches mine. I puts it in sleep mode but will not be cause it to resume.

No on off switch, but goes to sleep 15 minutes after its used. Mine is connected to a Synology server via USB 3.0. It backs up every night at 1 am, so have not see it actually "on" in quite a while. Back ups run just fine and the log shows they are all there daily with no errors. Now the reason it is asleep is due to a setting in the Synology software. I could have it on all the time, but why? If I manually access the drive thru the Synology server it comes right up with no issue, AND is fast! Thats the best part. I would buy another if I needed one, no problem.

I've been using it for a couple of months. Never had that problem. Your run may be too far for the power supply to handle, your unit may be defective, there may be a setting on your phone that sets it to sleep. Gotta Troy me shoot it.

Mine has never done that before. Just thinking outside the box a little bit, but have you made sure there isn't a sleep timer set. I know it sounds silly, but just something to check.
