Ideally, I would like to set 1 day(=1440 min) or 2 days(=2880 min).
I already tried what is suggested here, but apparently doesn't work: - set AutoOffMinutes=1440 in the "Kobo eReader.conf" file
- reboot
- read something, without opening setting page
- put in stand-by
- wait..
and the kobo shut down within some hours (don't know exactly when but definitely in no more than 2-3 hours after stand-by).
All this on Kobo Glo, firmware 3.11. |
Out of curiosity, why would you want to see the power off timeout to such a long period? Personally, I set power off to never and sleep to 15 minutes and don't see that much of a hit on my battery life.
As for the 255 minutes limit, I'd suspect the code uses a single byte to store a binary value for the timeout in minutes so 255 would be the maximum. Setting 1440 is likely to get it evaluated mod 255 so the timeout would be 165 minutes (2 hours 45 minutes).
