Fuji Hibernation... NOT

Just discovered, and confirmed through Fuji tech support, that placing a
Fuji tablet in hibernation still consumes power.

Placing the T4215 in hibernation results in dead battery after one day.

So, essentially, there is no hibernation option.

Found a workaround for this in case it has bitten anyone else;

In the control panel, there is an applet named "Radio Controls" which
allows toggling the wifi and bluetooth on and off.

place a shortcut for this on the desktop

before hibernation, open "Radio Controls" and set both wifi and
bluetooth to "OFF"

Initial tests (one full day) indicate that the battery retains it's
charge level during hibernation.

Just looked and it's actually an exe...

c:\windows\system32\radiocontrol.exe

Would be nice if there were something to do the same with arguments so a
hibernation could be automated.

doh!... just re-discovered the wifi toggle switch on the side of the
computer which I assume will work as well ;-)

Unbelievably, turning the wifi physical switch off _does not work_ to
prevent battery drain when the computer is put into hibernation.

The battery is still drained if the Wifi or Bluetooth is "on" in the
radio control utility, but, as previously posted, if both Wifi and BT
are turned off using the radio control utility, the battery is not
drained during hibernation.
