Make a program ignore power settings?

brandogg · #1 (**permalink**) 02-16-2010, 10:01 PM

Is there a way to do this? SX Radio, Windows Media Player, Pocket Player, etc, all will ignore your power settings if you're watching a video, etc, but Kinoma Play will turn off the screen after 1 minute on battery power, as I have my power settings set to. I would love to have it *not* turn off the screen, since when the phone is plugged in and the battery is at 100%, it switches to the battery power setting. Hopefully someone understands this issue and knows how to help me. I do not want to change my power settings to keep the screen on using battery power, I just want Kinoma Play to keep running if I'm using it.

Thanks dude, that's exactly what I was looking for - something that would basically launch the program, along with itself, and keep the screen on.

Tried it, doesn't work unfortunately. Set it up per the directions on the site. Thanks for trying though.

it works perfectly for me: be sure you have changed the .lnk the right way (i had to try 3 or 4 times before i got it work)

Pretty sure I did. I guess I'll try it again and give it a soft-reset too, not that it should make a difference.

I use this one:

Code:

95#"\Scheda di memoria\Programmi\PocketLava\ljack.exe" PocketLava.exe?\Scheda di memoria\Programmi\PocketLava\PocketLava.exe,116

and it does the job

screen alive 1.11 does just this (not freeware) but...

hmm, I need to get it installed again, but I thought that was in (kinoma) options, or maybe the 'advanced settings' app (why an app has app's idk..)

That shouldn't happen unless you're playing video in the background.

What kind of phone do you have?
