ipod 5.5g Sleep mode?

(1/3) > >>

silentseraph:
Hello. I was scanning through the manual for rockbox on my video ipod 5.5 and I was wondering if there was a sleep mode that could be toggled in and out of like in the original firmware, since shutting down and starting up takes a lot of battery power. Also, if it is supported, on what builds?

scorche:
Rockbox doesn't have a sleep mode.

What makes you think shutting down and starting up uses more battery power than leaving your ipod in sleep mode would ?

miles_power:
The apple os has a kind of sleep mode. like if you pause during a song and leave it sitting for a certain amount of time (time settings set by user) then it will not shut off but go into a "sleep" mode. Next time you press a button, the ipod kicks up where you left off, instead of rebooting. like on the song you left it on.         I think that is what he means.

AlexP:
We know what he means, but why does he think sleep (where some of the hardware is on) takes less power than being off (when the hardware is off).  I can see a cross over period, but would imagine it is very short.
