It is nice when your devices appears to always be on. But lets be real, my windows tablet isn't a phone.
So, I disabled InstantGo/Conected Standby on my dell tablet, and the battery now runs for days. I charge it once a week or so, unless I start playing games on it (in which case the battery only lasts for something like ~3/4 hours). That device gets pretty heavy use for book reading/ netflix/ web surfing.
The downside is that the power button is stupidly placed next to the volume buttons. So I frequently hit it instead of the volume button and that results in a ~5-10 second hibernate/resume sequence. I've been considering how hard it would be to physically cut the lead to it and the useless "window button" and PtP solder the windows button as the power button. (I haven't found any software solutions for reversing them).
- duncans 11y agoIsn't there an option in Control Panel "Change what happens when I press the power button"?
- StillBored 11y agoThe button does what I want. I just want it somewhere that is tactilely (is that a word?) different than the volume buttons. I have the same problem with kindles, I hit the power button instead of the volume buttons. This is one of the things that apple got right.
