Hello all,
in my app, I use an alarm to do some processing every day at midnight. The
alarm goes off every night, and the app then decides whether or not to
display an alert.
Over the last couple of months, I've had two users report that my app keeps
their devices awake when it displays the alert, their devices doesn't go to
sleep afterwards as one would expect.
One uses a Palm V, OS 3.3, the other uses a Visor Edge, OS 3.5.2. No hacks,
normal auto-off after 2 or 3 minutes, and the devices are not in the cradle
"so stay on when in cradle" should not be an issue either.
What my app does:
sysAppLaunchCmdAlarmTriggered
program the alarm for tomorrow
sysAppLaunchCmdDisplayAlarm
display alert using FrmDoDialog()
(Like the pre-4.0 datebook used to do, I'am using
an event handler to filter the appStopEvent so that a
hardware button press doesn't switch apps)
I don't call any of the auto-off related functions, and everything works
fine on a lot of other palms.
I've already made the timer configurable instead of being fixed at 00:00,
but I'd like to know what might be going on here...
Gert-Jan
