And the battery-life is good. It's one of the few things that are stellar in this hackbook (compared to win).

^GoJo^ Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 That's why I'm wondering what's missing in mine! I followed and succeeded 100% of the instructions.. Sent from my Redmi 3s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^GoJo^ Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I realised I made a mistake when following the guide so I corrected. I end up with about ~4h battery life starting from 100%. Doesn't matter which hpw mode I use. As far as I recall, Window's more on the ~6h side.. So I'm wondering still! Sent from my Redmi 3s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JahStories Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 @goja what?!?! 6 hours?? doing what kind of web browsing? I mean if you just read stuff maybe but just playing a couple of videos on youtube you'll never get 6 real hours on battery!! @dodvip123 Maybe that could work! Btw we should remove the nvme drive... pretty sad! But with a 1tb data drive partitioned on 2 parts one for each OS, should be enought! Let us know if you are willing to try!!

Yes if that works then Windows and macOS can be installed on the same SSD in the second slot. I would try it if I had the laptop but I don't... And I will only buy it if this works. Maybe someone who owns it can try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^GoJo^ Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Did you see any report from people with first rev (including soldered mpcie slot) who tried compatible WLAN card successful?

dodvip123 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Okay, i took the risk... bought both the laptop and the adapter from eBay (Germany) and they will arrive next Thursday. I will post any updates here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodvip123 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Nice, let us know! it did not work... I bought a M key to A key adapter (only Wifi should work then in theory) but Windows did not recognize the BCM94352Z I tried installing the drivers for Dell 1560 in Windows but still no go... I think both wifi and bluetooth need to work to make Windows recognize it. For now, I'm using my iPhone and TetherMe (jailbreak app) to share my wifi connection through USB. Maybe in the future we might see support for the Intel 8260AC or someone comes up with a motherboard solution. Which patches did you apply to the DSDT? I would like to patch my native DSDT myself. Great laptop so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 oh, sad thing... maybe it's a problem related to the adapter, who knows... btw I can't list you all the patched done on the tables, really a lot, not only on the dsdt and to make everything work, you'll have to use the full set provided! I should update the package soon, cause I discovered a fix for the lid bug, but can't provide you a date yet... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodvip123 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I wonder why there is no SSDT.aml (power management) in your package. SSDT.aml.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 using an ssdt disable the more efficient HWP... Not suggested at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_1351 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 using an ssdt disable the more efficient HWP... Not suggested at all... Could you find a source for that? Have you made some measurements? Cause according to Rehabman and to my personal findings, this isn't the case. Not for the same clock profile at least.

JahStories Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 I mean, just to explain, these are two different methods of scaling cpu frequency and it's not possible to use both (piker [or a simple research about HWP] confirms) and yes, lid bug is related to correctly enabling HWP without an SSDT and injecting correct sleep informations with a different ssdt...

dodvip123 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hmm, I'm going with the SSDT way... I also patched my own ACPI files. Btw I found my old Wifi USB RTL8192EU lying around and it works after installing this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/311312-drivers-alternativi-1011-per-d-link-dwa-131-usb-wireless-n-nano/ one issue; lid sleep does not seem to work and USB devices won't work after sleep. This only occurs when closing the lid, sleep from apple menu or scheduled sleep works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 From the Main post: Don't use bios mods, other files with different patches or you'll get no help. You are free to do whatever you want with your device, but obviously you'll have different issues using your own files instead of the provided one... You'll still gonna have dedicated gpu active... no proper sleep... the lid bug(it's caused by not having correctly HWP enabled) plus tons of other small improvement made on more than 10 FilesPack upgrade. And you'll gonna get no help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you'll gonna get no help! I patched the DSDT and SSDT myself because it is advised by RehabMan to always patch your own ACPI files. My Nvidia gpu is also disabled and iirc you also have the same issue as i have. If you find the sleep issue, can you share the patch you did?

JahStories Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I don't have any sleep issue. (I had the lid bug but I fixed it) Btw as said before, I'll not provide any help if you are using different files, if you wanna discuss about this, do it on another thread! Respect the work of others and the thread rules. P.s. I already told that the lid bug is related to wrong power managnment... and you are still saying you want to use that so... :/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do respect your work and I'm sorry if i offended you. I just try to follow RehabMan's advice on patching the ACPI files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_1351 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 When is the new Filepack coming? I'm really surprised that you managed to fix the lid bug that way! How did you even come to that conclusion?? I never would have thought of that. Props to you my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
