Problem with engaging Power save mode after firmware update

I found this at the asus support site.

Why can't I access A730W Automatic Power Saving Mode?

In order to increase WiFi performance, "Automatic Power Saving Mode" will be disabled automatically in A730W.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So the feature appears to be available prior to the ROM upgrade, but updating appears to disable this feature in the interest of WiFi compatability. However, asuspocketpcw reported still being able to use the feature after upgrading. Does anybody have an idea as to why my device would be different? After installing Pocket Hack Master it's really only a minor annoyance, but I still wish everything worked like it should.

The name I ended up with might be misleading--I don't have the W version and maybe thats why the power save option is still available after ROM upgrade for my straight 730 (I used the 100$ I saved on a non-W 730 to buy a 1GB memory card instead!). My impression is that maybe WiFi needs a faster processor speed and so they don't allow the power saving mode to click in and mess up the WiFi connection. Just my guess :?

Hi there... my first post here so GREETINGS!

In regards to the ROM update and subsequent unavailability of certain options - what ROM version/ROM date are you running?

My A730W has ROM Version V3.43.02.7 WWE w/ROM DATE 2004/10/22.

The option to use automatic mode in the power savings area is available and in my case it is checked. I selected Turbo mode and checked the automatic mode box. The checkbox is always available regardless of which of the 3 modes I select.

Damn... how many forums do I need to join!??

Might have a solution here...

Can someone send me a copy of the file "mycpl.cpl" of the ORIGINAL A730 ROM that still has a functional "Enable Automatic Mode" none-greyed check box file?

It is under the \windows\ directory.

From this I will try to forge it to allow the bit to be changed under the new ROM and post back results here.

Thx,

I have the same versions you do (and my powersave works as well). I'm glad to see you have Kingston memory cards working on your ASUS. I've been ignoring them because of some earlier negative comments I read.

I tried SANDISK and other memory cards, but the Kingston higher end series (Elite Pro) are much faster than the others.

I have not had any issues with ANY type of Kingston memory, ever.

Cool, both files are posted at pocketmatrix, and users there are swapping files temporarily to enable checkbox, but they are different so just swapping leaves problems.

I also am shure this was done for the WiFi.
I have original file which can enable checkbox, and the WiFi blanks out and jams at times with this box enabled.
So I am thinking about looking into this new file, to see what else it is doing.
