Prevent sleep while playing audio

[dgottlieb]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to set the n800 to stay awake while playing flash audio (via the browser)? Right now, it goes to sleep every five minutes unless I continuously tap the screen. This is driving me crazy :)! I'd really appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks,
Dan

There is no solution right now - see bug #1006 (https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1006) which relates to this issue. Voting for the bug may improve the chances of a fix.

Would it be difficult to add option "Never" to setting "Switch display off"? After making this setting user could be shown a disclaimer that could say something like "This setting will lead to fast battery drainage..." If it eats the battery too quickly users would at least be able to use Pandora or LastFM with charger (and for instance connect it to stereo set). It really is annoying that N800 does not understand the difference between the situation when it is connected to charger or when it is not and the same "power management profile" is used all the time.
