Hi.

I am a happy user of the N800 with the upgrade os2008.

I have installed powerlaunch 0.7 normally, everything works very well but the problem comes when I load video or graphical intense application (games, canola, youtube)..
Dont turn off screen! I don't know the reason.. but i fix this problem when return at the original power menu, or reinstall powerlaunch.

The problem it happens only with Powerlaunch

I need use softpower or screen off for to save battery/Standby n800

PD

I really don't understand what you're saying here, but I'm going to guess you (or anyone else looking at this thread) have the same problem I did. When you long-hold the power button, powerlaunch goes to softpoweroff, but the screen immediately comes back on.

This problem seems to be caused by the fact that the power button is still held down when it gets to softpoweroff, and it interprets that as a new button press to wake it out of softpoweroff.

I solved it by putting a delay in, so you will have released the button before it gets to softpoweroff.

In /etc/powerlaunch/common.conf, change it to:

Thanks for the tip.Setting the delay to 1.5 prevents unwanted returns from softpoweroff if you hold the power button a tad too long.

mmm.. i sorry i do not fix the problem

is strange, but the powerlaunch stops softpoweroff only when I see videos..

I do not know if I explained well

Powerlaunch work very well but when play the videos, stop working "Softpoweroff"
Whatever you do not turn off the screen

Hello, I'm the guy who wrote powerlaunch and I know exactly the problem you're having. Basically, if any program requests a "display blank pause" then the screen will never be blanked ever again because the blank pause is not reset. This was fixed about a month ago in svn but I haven't had the time to make another complete release. Here's a temporary fix. Try replacing the existing /usr/sbin/powered with this version: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/download.php/3369/powered

Thanks. Just in case someone just replaces the file and reboots (like me): do not forget to set the permissions of the new file after replacing the old one, or else it won't run and you end up with no shutdown menu:

I was having exactly the same problem after running MPlayer.
Your temporary fix worked for me, but it does seem to be a little time-delayed.
Thank you, Austin!

Hi Austin,
I'm starting to suffer from a very similar problem as before, but am currently unsure which app may be interfering this time - i'll post if i can figure out which is causing it.

Ohhh good... i fix the problem..!! Thanks.!

I also... is the same

Really thank you...

Are you saying the screen off is time-delayed? Is it more than with the default mce running? According to the specs of osso_display_blanking_pause(), programs must call it once every 60 seconds to keep the screen on. So if you start and stop mplayer, it could take up to 60 seconds for the screen to turn off, regardless of what you've set your display settings to. I did a quick test with both mce and powered and they appear to have similar times from stopping mplayer to screen off.
