G1s, pedido de ajuda pra resolver o problema

[adolfotregosa]

Boas pessoal. Ja ando á mais de um mês a tentar chamar atenção dos utilizadores do problema que o G1s apresenta. Venho-vos pedir que mandem mail ou telefonem pra asus pra fazer pressão. Deixo-vos aki o problema pra voces mesmo testarem, mas é garantido que o vão ter.

"It appears that a severe bios flaw has been uncovered by adolfotregosa and a few other users regarding all asus g1s notebooks relating to battery charging and processor speed. Evidence of its discovery can be found here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=135161
and here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=143667

It seems the processor runs at almost half capacity anytime the ac adapter is plugged in and the battery life is less than 90%(+/-). G1S owners can test this themselves by draining the battery roughly less than 90 % and running a cpu extensive benchmark like super-pi or 3dmark, while plugged in on AC. You will notice that your cpu marks will have been drastically reduced from what it would be on 100% battery. This is because the processor will only run at an estimated 1.2 ghz instead of the rated 2.2. This problem does not occur when the battery is removed...only when it is charging does this flaw surface. Some have theorized that this is due to the inability of the 90w power supply to run both the notebook's power demands as well as charge the battery, thus the cpu power consumption was reduced.

Which ever the case, this is a serious matter, since having the processor speed run at almost half capacity while charging the battery on AC is simply too large a flaw to ignore completely. If anyone has any more information on this, please post so we can all have a better understanding of this problem.

And please, if this concerns you, please forward this information ASUS so they can firmly be aware of it's importance to its customers. ""


""Interesting.

I read this about 5 hours ago and did some tinkering around.
Here is the info for anyone who wants to reference this:

Testing system: 3DMark06 Professional Edition
Power plan : Modified High Performance mode
ASUS G1S Series (my personal notebook)
CPU exclusive tests
All 3DMark settings are default values for comparison concerns.
Times of charging are noticed in red, and all times of discharging are in green.

(Battery level - 15% - discharging/unplugged)
CPU Score: 1944
CPU1 - Red Valley 0.613 fps
CPU2 - Red Valley 0.987 fps

(Battery level - 12% - charging)
CPU Score: 1148
CPU1 - Red Valley 0.376 fps
CPU2 - Red Valley 0.560 fps

(Battery level - 78% - discharging/unplugged)
CPU Score: 1932
CPU1 - Red Valley 0.614 fps
CPU2 - Red Valley 0.973 fps

(Battery level - 75% - charging)
CPU Score: 1661
CPU1 - Red Valley 0.596 fps
CPU2 - Red Valley 0.740 fps

(Battery level - 91% - discharging/unplugged)
CPU Score: 1944
CPU1 - Red Valley 0.612 fps
CPU2 - Red Valley 0.988 fps

(Battery level - 89% - charging)
CPU Score: 1067
CPU1 - Red Valley 0.336 fps
CPU2 - Red Valley 0.542 fps

(Battery level - 95% - charging)
CPU Score: 1697
CPU1 - Red Valley 0.562 fps
CPU2 - Red Valley 0.820 fps

(Battery level - 100% - charged and plugged in)
CPU Score: 1939
CPU1 - Red Valley 0.615 fps
CPU2 - Red Valley 0.978 fps

Summary:
Results show that no matter when the notebook is charging, the CPU score is down by 45%. Yet a few tests showed a crippled performance jump.(reference 75% 95% charging)

When the battery was fully charged and the power was drained directly from the AC, performance was identical to a discharge score.

I really don't understand why this performance cut has to occur without the users consent.
If it must happen then offer an option for the user to select during the charging state."""

Agradeço a vossa ajuda

[hallogenio]

o q é q fizeste para resolver o problema?

[adolfotregosa]

nao é possivel fazer nada, somente esperar por uma bios nova

[hallogenio]

há bios n oficiais a correr por ai q n tenham o mm problema?

...bem sei q os portateis sao novos e q ninguem s deve atrever a mudar a bios oficial mas ainda assim há gente para tudo...

ja pesquisast isso?

[adolfotregosa]

tens algum site/bios/link pro g1s nao oficial ??
obrigado

[hallogenio]

nops... mas ja saiu nova versao oficial outra x!

[hallogenio]

ja resolve o teu problema?
