VAIO K215Z SPEEDSTEP PROBLEM!

[pixeldude]

My K215z has a big problem with the speedstep and i think is a common problem for the K series.. if i use the battery my laptop should work at 1.6Ghz and it works at 3.06Ghz.. i have to restart my computer to work properly... does anybody knows how can i fix this?

Thank you.

It's a Pentium4 mobile, which supports only 2 steps.
Full speed and low speed. Or 3.06 and 1.6GHz on your VAIO.

A Intel Centrino CPU supports 6 different steps.

I know that.. but the problem is if i set the settings for POWER MANAGEMENT on BATTERY LIFE..it should not use the 3.06Ghz and stay only at 1.6Ghz.. (sorry for my bad English.. i think you did not understood exactly whats the problem)
And that drives me mad!!!
That's a bug that sony doesnt bother to fix it.. i read that K115 has the same problem but they could fix it by a new BIOS update.. so there's no new update for my K215z
Does anybody know how to fix this????

sony doesnt do anything to please the customers.. lack of support ... too bad for those very beautiful laptops..
also the battery power meter is not good it doesnt shows the remaining time acuretly..

Think this has been posted before and the concensus that it was an Intel bug.

Yeah..next time when I will buy a notebook.. it will be a TOSHIBA or HP, even to my friends i wont recomand VAIO.
How about the battery meter time do you know something to fix this issue?
