Got a problem, with the new Power Manager, waking up from standby causes disk thrashing.

Anyone else...?

Cheers.

I too would like to know what Battery Firmware Update and 30-day standby are. What would happen if we have cheapies from fleabay batteries??? I think I will wait to install the power manager update.

I think these features (30day standby, Airplane mode or how they call it, and instant internet) are only for new models. Nothing changed for my x220i tablet - no new functions since the update.
