Setting Timeout for Kindle Touch

khoa_chung_89 · 08-12-2012, 03:36 AM

There is a problem with my power button of Kindle Touch. It completely doesn't work, when i want to read something, i have to connect it to computer to unlock screen and keep it not lock automatically

There isn't any one who can fix my Kindle in my region

Now, i am looking for something that can help me extend screen timeout to unlimited

I'm using firmware version 5.1.2. Please, help me find a solution

or any something works for me that you know

You can disable the screen saver by using

Quote:

lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd preventScreenSaver 1

from usbnetworking, xterm, etc.... That would make the screen timeout unlimited in a way.... I don't know how to fix the button though... Sorry.

Thank for your help

However I'm a newbie with Kindle

I don't really understand what you mean. You mean i have to install a software named "usbnetworking" on my Kindle and type in the command that you said ??? Do i have to jailbreak my Kindle ??? please give me more detail or if you have a link about it ???

Enter ~ds in the searchbar and hit enter. This disables the screensaver until next reboot.
