Gigabeat: LCD doesn't shut off fully

<< < (3/4) > >>

Falco98:
is the model in question a color LCD?  i only ask because i have an iriver h10 and when the backlight goes out, the screen turns off.. seems like a bit of an annoying feature if I don't want to accidentally leave it on until the battery dies, but I can't seem to find a way to change this, as you guys (maybe?) seem to talk about here.  or does this one not work like that?  (sorry for slightly o/t but figured i'd ask since it's vaguely related)

Nate!:
So are you saying you don't want the LCD to shut off when the backlight goes out?

If so: Main menu->System->Debug->LCD Power Off->No

This is the default option.  I did find that this option seems to get reset after a power cycle.

Wouldn't having this options' default set to LCD Power Off=Yes save battery consumption?  I vaguely remember reading a post stating that to turn the LCD back on may cause disk spinup also.  I could be totally wrong.  Not sure how one has to do with the other though.

Llorean:
I already said that turning the LCD off when the backlight goes off on Gigabeats causes problems with the remote in an earlier post in this thread, and that's why it's in the debug menu (and consequently why it defaults to No). The battery life gained would be minimal anyway.

Many other players already have this option, and in some cases it's hard-coded to on because you can't read/see the screen anyway when the backlight is off.

Nate!:
That's right, you did state that earlier.  That would make sense why it's not default to yes.

GodEater:
Also - since it's in the debug menu, it most definitely gets reset every reboot. It's not saved anywhere.
