Rodney, I should have written that the screen/display was turning off, not the whole phone. Well, unfortunately, the idea of 'privacy' has gone the way of the 10 cents phone call. (I guess now one threatens to drop a dollar on someone by calling the cops rather than dropping a dime.) Yesterday's news told us that airline boarding passes are being replaced by facial recognition software. George Orwell was certainly 70 years ahead of his time when he published '1984.' Groucho Marx glasses when traveling by air?
Android either has to be told (to shut)off or shall run until the battery causes a CPU reset, though it does manage to put itself into low power, and sometimes very low power mode before that happens.
Yep. I've done both (the drained battery intentionally, and the manual shutdown when I didn't want to be interrupted.) Regards, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
