Abstract: A system and machine-implemented method for providing a software update within a network comprising plural computing devices. A subset of the plural computing devices is identified for installation of the software update. The software update is provided to the computing devices within the subset for installation. After providing the software update, a software version or a connectivity status is obtained for at least one of the computing devices within the subset. A determination is made that the software update is invalid based on the obtained software version or connectivity status.

Abstract: A method may include operating a device in a first power mode, setting flag(s), each flag representing an executing task, detecting a request to place the device in a second power mode. The second power mode consumes less system resources than the first power mode, and delaying the transition to the second power mode by placing the device in a third power mode that consumes less system resources than the first power mode but more than the second power mode. While in the third power mode, the method may include estimating an amount of system resources required for each of the task(s), determining if the total estimated amount of system resources to complete each of the task(s) exceeds one or more system resource threshold values, and if the estimated total amount of system resources exceeds the one or more system resource threshold values, ceasing execution of the task(s).

Abstract: Methods for returning a computing system to a previous state are provided. In one aspect, a method includes loading a second system state of a second operating system partition, and receiving a request to return to a first system state of a first operating system partition while operating in a second system state a the second operating system partition, The method also includes loading the first system state of the first operating system partition. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for scheduling and controlling power management activities are disclosed. An example method includes detecting, by a computing device, playback of video content at a frame rate that is greater than a predetermined threshold frame rate. The example method further includes, in response to the detection of the playback of video content at the frame rate greater than the threshold frame rate, overriding a screen dimming operation of the computing device.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a device for network connection selection may include a network connection selector configured to obtain historical connection information related to previous network connections utilized by a device. The historical connection information may include connectivity disruptions indicating whether connectivity was disrupted for one or more network connections that were previously established by the device. The network connection selector may be configured to select a network connection for the device among a plurality of available network connections based on an evaluation of the historical connection information such that the selected network connection substantially maintains connectivity to a network for a future period of time.
