#1 and #2 are already possible. The default is #1 when you boot up the eDGe. To switch to #2, set your screen timeout to a short period (like 2 minutes) and turn off the wireless. An excellent app to make this easier can be found here: http://slideme.org/application/mysettings (I recommend adding the shortcut to the LCD desktop for quick access). |
Thanks for the clarification regarding the number of operating systems in the eDGe and the suggestion.
I have a question then: Assuming WiFi switch OFF and LCD locked and an eBook open. I just put my eDGe on the table and do not even turn pages in the eBook. How long does a fully charged battery last in this mode in your experience? In my case it was less than 24 hours. If this is normal for other people's eDGEs then it must be assumed that something else is going on in our devices that uses energy, something in addition to simply "driving" an ePaper screen.
And I would like to know if we could get rid of that overhead while reading eBooks.
