Hello Richard! First of all this was not nothing personal directed to you, I named you simply and _just_ because you invited me to open a bug instead to simply complain about stuff which is not working. If you offer support to opensuse community in your spare time it is a great and generous commitment and I respect it, don't worry. Answering to your tech questions, my battery is healthy; I cannot reproduce the issue on different hardware because I have just the Lenovo Z470 with a running opensuse 13.1 installed; I have other hardware, including two laptop and one desktop but I'm using Ubuntu on these. I'm frustrated because in my personal opinion Linux in general is getting worse in terms of user usability comparing it to Microsoft software and this frustrate me enough. Beside GNOME3 and poor (or totally broken power-management if you prefer) I can also add Bluetooth among the things that are getting worse or are totally broken and it is not just a frustration, but a fact! For example I cannot use my Windows Phone to transfer a file into opensuse 13.1, the trasfer works just in one direction: from Linux to the phone. If the power management problem is an hardware problem, why on Windows 7 I don't notice it? If the problem is limited to just some brands or laptop model, why it is not documented into the opensuse Release Notes? I doubt instead that it is the product of big changes happened recently into Linux not just at kernel level but also inside DE (Gnome3 especially) as well as may be due to the scarce interest to develop a better power-management for laptop.
