[PB632] Extending "power off after" possible?
Hello,
I would like to try my luck here. I noticed that new Pocketbooks have power off potion for 24h or 48h in addition to shorter ones. The list of options for Pocketbook Touch HD 3 ends at max 60 minutes. Does any one know how could I possibly extend this to say 48 hours? I usually read every day or two but it happens sometimes that I leave it for a week. Thanks. |

There's the "poweroff" setting in `system/config/global.cfg` file. In my case it's "poweroff=8" and I have 24 hours until shutdown. Try setting it to the same value and see if it works. Most likely, it'll reset to default after you visit the settings UI.

on HD2 which is stuck with the older FW 5.20, the max value is poweroff=4, .i.e 60min. I remember having tried to play with it at no avail, and I assumed that the times corresponding to the enum are hardcoded somewhere, at least because I have not found any other possible settings file in clear (I looked also in /ebrmain and /mnt/secure at that time). But reading other posts, AFAIR, devices with FW 6.X have more options, and IIRC HD3 got the update to 6.X. Are you on the latest firmware for your device?

Thanks for the help.
I have U632.6.8.2102 version stated in the settings menu. It says it is the latest one. I will try to change the poweroff number, and wait for the timeout. I have tried that before, but I got into the settings and it was still on 60min and then I checked in PC and it was back to original value. |

Unfortunately, changing the value did not help. It just turned off after an hour like it was set in menu.
