Hi all

Just been given a lifedrive and tomtom which all works well apart from when it is not plugged in to a charger the screen goes off after a minute.

This is fine normally as it save battery but it still goes off when running navigater 5, so i can get 1 minutes worth of navigation and then have to turn it back on.

Can anyone point me in the right direction

thanks

You could try opening a new memo and writing the 'shortcut symbol' followed by .3

(the 'shortcut symbol' is like how you were taught to write a joined up lower case 'L').

This disables the auto-off feature in many older handhelds, and may still work in the LD but I don't know for sure. Try it... Wink

...oh, and by the way, a soft reset will revert settings to normal afterwards. Smile

If this doesn't work, there's a program called Handyaid that allows you to disable auto-off for selected applications (and it does alot more too).

I do not believe there is a way to keep the Palm on without charging the device. All palms I know, I have had 9 different models and they all auto turn off after a few minutes. You can keep them on but only whilst charging.

Beware though you need to disable the security settings (auto lock) as that overides the power off.

Handyaid is a software app that enables you to prevent auto-off on specified applications. But it does cost money...

There may be freeware apps that do the same thing if you look for them.

Found an app called SetAutoOff written by a palm addict. It is freeware and is only 2.0k if you would like a copy send me a message and I will forward it to you
