I think that my previous posts were not clear enought so I am going to rewrite the whole thing again:-
- I was trying to VNC into debian that I have chrooted on my kindle.
- As everyone knows, Kindle goes into sleep after 10 minutes and disconnects from wifi, which caused my ssh connection to disconnect (I prefer SSHing over wifi).
- So I made a simple application to stop screensaver (which is attached below) by using the syntax other programs use.(I clicked on DISABLE SCREENSAVER in that Program)
- But after some time I noticed that my kindle went to sleep, So I clicked on the power button(located at the bottom) to unlock the device.
- But instead of the screen two bubble like structures moving on the screen appeared, they disappeared as soon as I touched the screen. ( I named them as Screensaver because Windows uses animated Screensaver which go away on any hardware event)
- I immediately reported this on Mobiread and continued my work.
- After about 30 minutes (I had already disconnected SSH and left the kindle untouched (which means on the home screen)), I again pressed the power button and was presented with a new animation, in which Bugs were running down the screen ( they were leaving some trail as they were on a eink), I Captured a video and uploaded it.
- This time I knew I have stumbled upon something new. SO I Waited about another 30 minutes(I thought it would be better to wait 30 rather than 10) and captured the whole event from pressing of power button to touching screen ( in which the 2nd animation occurred).
- I Think that it is a experimental feature because Those animations cannot appear from between nowhere.
- After that I force-restarted my Kindle (by pressing the power button for 40 sec), and i have not seen those animations since then.
************************************************** **********************
I completely agree with knc1 that this will consume a lot of battery (as CPU will continuously need to render images and update the eink) so screensaver is not the right word for it, but as I can't get another word so I called it a screensaver.
