[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1347539] Re: Abnormally high battery discharge rate on Lenovo T420
Presently I have kernel 3.13.0-48-generic installed (from the automatic updates). With Bluetooth and WiFi off I am able to bring the discharge rate down to 12 W/h. Although now I have battery lifetimes in line with those I had with Ubuntu 12.04, there is still a long way to go to catch Windows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1347539 Title: Abnormally high battery discharge rate on Lenovo T420 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have upgraded from12.04 to 14.04 on a Lenovo T420 laptop (Corei7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz × 4 + Sandybridge Mobile).

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1347539] Re: Abnormally high battery discharge rate on Lenovo T420
I managed to install and run the mainline kernel (3.17). With it the battery discharge rate is dramatically down, about half of what it is with kernel 3.13 (~ 15W), but still above what it was with Ubuntu 12.04. Also, with kernel 3.17 it seems the automatic screen dimming is not working.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.17 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as Confirmed. Thanks in advance.
