Battery drained fast during sleep

[denghanx]

Dear Tyler. I'm very appreciative of your hard-working on this EFI and all functions worked so well. However, it seems that battery consumption during sleep was abnormally high in my laptop. Like the log I post below, the battery drained very fast during sleep that cost nearly 40 percent in 3 hours.

I also noticed that the breath light was keeping lighting but not blink during sleep and I guess that the laptop has not truly entered the sleep status but I couldn't solve this problem.

Thank you.

@denghanx Hey there, It seems that your machine is waking due to to network related activities. Particularly, TCPKeepAlive=active

• Have you made the sleep changes detailed in https://github.com/tylernguyen/x1c6-hackintosh/blob/master/docs/5_README-other.md ?

[denghanx]

I've made those changes and I uploaded my Hackintool screenshot

[tylernguyen]

You should also set proximity wake to 0. I'll update this in the guide. Once that is resolved, let me know if your machine sleeps properly now.

[denghanx]

I've fixed proximity wake to 0 and the problem still existed.

[tylernguyen]

@denghanx check your sleep logs again

@denghanx What wifi card are you using? Also, can you provide a zip of your EFI?

[denghanx]

I used a wifi card from a Macbook Air BCM94360CS2 with an adapter. I've uploaded EFI folder, dsdt.aml and IOReg file here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lGZOlHspeO2_lx-IsjXxGBr-i_Fq_uye/view?usp=sharing Thanks for helping

[tylernguyen]

@denghanx A few notes: DSDT.aml should not belong in a patched ACPI folder. I don't see it in your config.plist but you should probably remove it regardless.

What is USBPower.kext? Where did you get it from or how did you create it?

Can you please double check that your network settings are disabled/unchecked in both battery and power adapter?

As a precaution, disable UEFI network environments in BIOS. And try it without USBpower.kext and post sleep logs again.

Also, please check under Peripherals in Hackintool and see if your en0 is built in.

Finally, can you think of any apps on your machine that may be running during sleep? especially ones that require network access?

EDIT: after trying to sleep again, can you please also post nvram.plist? It should be dumped by HibernationFixup and be under your root drive.

another edit: Your DSDT seems quite a bit different from mine. What is your machine spec and what bios version is it on?

[denghanx]

Thanks for your suggestions. I've removed DSDT.aml. USBPower.kext is a kext to increase the maximum current of USB port which is necessary for using some apple devices such as apple super drive. I've checked remove it but the battery problem still existed. I've also double checked the network settings in power management. En0 is built in.

[tylernguyen]

@denghanx Try disabling handoff. If that still doesn't fix it. Check the logs one final time and try a clean install without any apps. Make those adjustments and test again. It is hard to pinpoint the issue when the log is systemWokenByWiFi: System Wake Reason not found

@denghanx Did you set the Sleep State BIOS setting to Linux? I had the same problem that LED not blinking, but chaging Sleep State setting resolved the issue. see also : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_(Gen_6)#Suspend_issues

I completely forgot about that! That is most likely the fix, I will add this to the repo. Thanks @b00t0x

[denghanx]

@b00t0x Thanks a lot. I've set the Sleep State and it seems the problem solved.
