Request BIuetooth availability when eDGe is closed.

Ability to listen to headset when eDGe is closed.
When working in the 'back 40' I'd feel safer .

To go to sleep at night, I have my eDGe on my night table streaming audio to my stereo via BlueTooth. Because closing the lid puts the eDGe into Sleep mode now, I have to keep the eDGe at least partially open.

Yes sir... Exactley! Not a Complaint. Am in car, walking, working with eDGe in bag most of day. Music, Podcasts, and audio books are a staple. (Thank you for 'Radiotime' ..works great with 'S9').

Confused internal music app with 'Podcast'. Am Iistening to audio book on 'S9 with eDGe closed while writng this.. Completly negates reason for request.
Thank you!... .

Conversely, to ensure the eDGe goes into power saving sleep mode, click the "Home" bezel button before closing the eDGe.

I just tried this on my eDGe, and for some apps, like the built-in Music Player, it seems the app prevents sleep mode anyway if it's playing. However, other apps, like RadioLive, won't prevent sleep mode even if playing and if visible on the LCD side.

So basically, some apps will work with the eDGe closed, some won't. Experiment and you'll easily be able to find out which apps work which way.

Thanks for the clarification. Read the post about bringing up the 'Home' screen this morning.

Thank You!...
