Screen off popup

[Vladi69]

Can someone tell me if it exists an hack to reduce the annoying 7 seconds waiting time to popup the screen off menu pressing power menu? If not, is it possible to do it?

Hold the button for less than 7 seconds.

Ok, but in this way no screen off. DO you mean this is not useful? So why the option exist?

It doesn't turn anything off - all it does is blank the screen rather than showing the usual "screensaver" image. In both cases the Kindle is asleep, not turned off. You can't turn a Kindle off.

To differentate between a semi-long press to put the device to sleep and a very long press to restart the device.
(At least the pop-up panels I have seen give you more than one action to choose.)

The device will show a screen saver, and after a time period (if it has nothing to do) will go to sleep (and turn off the front light).

Note:
The Kindle's never go to sleep if you have something holding a "wake lock" in the system -
such as having the USB cable plugged in.
Although they will be showing a screensaver - even when kept awake by a 'wake lock'.

OR:

echo 'mem' >/sys/power/state
OR
echo 'standby' >/sys/power/state (does what it says -> everything possible is turned off or put to sleep - takes a few 1/10s of a second).

There is a recent thread here about giving ;log (a search bar command) a new meaning.
See the 'Hide books' thread and example scripts.

After you decide which state you want to enter - re-write the ;log script to match.

Edit:
Is it 'safe' to just poke power management?

Ans: Yes
That is everything required to put the device to sleep.
Note that the battery current is shown a zero - that is only because it is too low to measure for the Kindle's current sensor.

The dynamic ram is in low power, self refresh mode -
There is a micro-controller running (clock, button, hall effect monitoring) -
As much as possible of the SoC (and cpu) has clocks and power removed.

This is about as close to 'off' as a Kindle can get without removing the battery.
