Hello!

Does anyone know if there is a way to extend the 'Turn off device if not used for X minutes' in the advanced Power settings? The maximum available in the drop down is 5 minutes, which (for me) is not long enough!

If anyone knows of another utility that will over ride these settings or a registry hack, it would be really helpful!

I know you can turn the function off, but I have been caught out too many times when a calendar reminder has popped up whilst it is in my pocket, and then drained the battery!

Apologies if this has been asked before - I did do a 'search' but couldn't find anything.

Cheers!

Strange - With my X30High, I have available on battery up to fifteen minutes, on external power up to 30 minutes.

Ditto here for me.

   

30 Minutes would be good, but an hour would be even better!

Unfortunately I only have the option of 5 minutes max on battery power and 30 minutes max on external power.

This is on my X50v, running WM2003se - I'll have a look at my old X5 tonight and see if that offers a different option!

Anyone else know how I can change the timings on my x50v?

Thanks again, I appreciate the replies!

Ok, well I have checked my old X5 and that gives the Maximum time of 15mins on battery power and 30 on external power, so the same as the X30 - strange why the X50v is different!

If anyone spots a utility that will over ride this function, please let me know!

Cheers!

Get some Registry Editing Tool, go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\Timeouts

change the value of "BattSuspendTimeout" (in seconds) and soft-reset...

EXCELLENT!!!! Many thanks Vrvy - I have now managed to change my x50v to a much more respectable 30 mins!

Thanks again!
