I dont understand all these instant ON problems all around. I close the lid of mine, open it up, and in less than 2 seconds I am prompted for my password. Sometimes its even within 1 second. If yours takes 10 seconds, then either:

1) take it to the Genius bar for them to check it

2) Not sure if this works 100%, but you can try changing your hibernatemode:

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0


b4 doing that read this:


hibernatemode = 0 (binary 0000) by default on supported desktops. The system will not back memory up to persistent storage. The system must
wake from the contents of memory; the system will lose context on power loss. This is, historically, plain old sleep.

hibernatemode = 3 (binary 0011) by default on supported portables. The system will store a copy of memory to persistent storage (the disk),
and will power memory during sleep. The system will wake from memory, unless a power loss forces it to restore from disk image.

hibernatemode = 25 (binary 0001 1001) is only settable via pmset. The system will store a copy of memory to persistent storage (the disk),
and will remove power to memory. The system will restore from disk image. If you want "hibernation" - slower sleeps, slower wakes, and bet-
ter battery life, you should use this setting.

Unplug your computer and let it sleep overnight. Then let us know.
 
I am almost afraid to upgrade because I have not had any of the problems the update is supposed to fix.

I think the awakening from sleep time depends on what I have open when I let it go to sleep.

I notice that it takes a few seconds longer to wake up if I have a lot of programs open. I do not have the wifi or flickering issues other cite.

Lion has been otherwise smooth as butter for me :confused:
 
Maybe the instant on problems are connected with the type of SSD you have (Samsung or Toshiba)? Like they only fixed it for Toshiba, but not for Samsung?

I have the Samsung SSD and instant on is not working. What about you guys?
 
I just got my Air last night so I didn't run it on 10.7 but I ran something else on it which had this problem. Inertia scrolling keeps turning itself back on even though it says off. I have to turn it on even though its on and then back off. A few hours later, it's back.
 
I can't seem to replicate a graphical glitch issue when brushing in blur on aperture that i use to have, also World of Warcraft performance seems to be slightly improved. Am guessing that there was also a graphic driver update for macbook airs with hd3000 in the 10.7.1 lion update. This update has been good to me, thank you Apple. :D
 
I did not have any problems with 10.7.

Although, I haven't been able to establish whether "Wi-Fi: Looking for networks..." constantly coming on and off is a normal occurrence for everyone. I haven't noticed any problems.. Just wondering..

I'm not sure whether to :mad: or :D

Not really, my credit card company is still calling me after the update. I am going to open a JIRA ticket now.

:)
 
It didn't fix my problem. Still need to get MBA and software update did not deliever me one :D
 
my heat problems are significantly less. I had a problem where when running skype, temp would be in the 70s and fan would spin at 6000 RPM. Now, it's at 50s and the fan is at 4000 RPM. Much improvement.
 
I chose option C.

Didn't have any problems before and can't see that the x.1 update did anything different. I was at first thinking the wake from sleep with wifi on was a faster, but I now think it's essentially the same (that is to say, a minor 5-6 second delay).
 
I’ve updated to the 10.7.1 but I am still having wifi connection problems after a long period of sleep,after waking the Air I quite often (but not always) get the dialog box 'none of your preferred networks are available’ but in the list of available networks my network is listed.This did not happen with the 2010 Air running SL
