Screen off when hold on in WPS

(1/3) > >>

darkslategrey:
On the newer iPod models(3g nano, classic, and later), the screen will for the most part shut off if left idle while playing audio except for a time and battery readout. Would it be possible to implement a similar feature in Rockbox?

I was thinking about a similar idea recently.  There could be a configuration option: power off screen when hold is on.  When I turn on hold, I'm generally putting the device where I can't look at it.  When I'm looking at the screen, I don't need hold to avoid unwanted button presses.

psycho_maniac:
what player do you have dreamplayers? i have had a gigabeat and ipod 5.5g and they both had a "backlight on hold" feature for a long time.  or maybe i read the post wrong. you want the whole screen off while hold is on?

dreamlayers:
I'm thinking of my Video iPod.  I also have the option to turn off the backlight when hold is on.  I think it would be nice to also have an option to turn off the screen.  When the screen is off, the BCM (DSP chip interfacing to the screen) could also be turned off or put to sleep (if a way to do this can be figured out).
