I'm aware that the Controller has some sort of power saving mode, but don't know what it actually does and would like to ask whether something I see happening is indeed this power saving.
If I leave the Controller in the charging cradle, it stays up for days on end. However, if I leave it out of the cradle, then after some period of time (haven't determined what that period is yet), it appears to shut down. You pick it up, and instead of springing back to normal life (eg. showing the "when stopped" screensaver), it reboots. Firmware is r2097. Is this the power saving mode in operation? If it is, it strikes me as rather extreme. The reboot sequence takes quite a while, and the normal reason I've left the Controller out of the cradle is because I haven't finished using it for the day. So the reason I pick up the Controller is because I want to play something else, and having to wait for it to reboot is a little frustrating. It's not a big problem, of course, but if there could be some other form of power saving which doesn't involve such a "deep sleep", that would be great. My understanding is that the main reason for the power saving is that maintaining the WiFi connection is a big power drain. Couldn't the power saving mode just be a WiFi disconnect rather than a complete shutdown? -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45945 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
