I noticed it before, thought it was stupid. Until I actually use the Jornada as my music player, at which point I thought it was rediculous.
Why on earth did they make the media buttons turn the screen on?
From technical point of view, yes I understand the screen basically turns itself on when triggered by any kind of input. But can't they just bypass those buttons? Obviously, when you press those buttons on the outside, you aren't opening the screen up, otherwise you'd have access to the whole ***king keyboard and the whole ***king touchscreen
(sorry I'm getting a bit emotional, that's why I put the *'s
)
It was bad enough that I have to *manually* turn off the screen before I close it up
(because there's no door-switch that has been the standard feature on _refrigerators_ since forever, let alone laptops
). Now I have to take the whole thing out of the bag, open it up, turn screen off, close it and put it back in, just because I changed the volume!
Ok, yes I can let it time out and turn off the screen automatically, but why waste all that power? For all I know I could be changing volume or pausing/starting the music every 5 min on average. If I set the time out at 3 min, that means the screen is on 60% of the time, which should've been 0%, correct?
Thanks for reading my rant. I doubt there's a software solution, but if there is, please tell me! This is driving me nuts
Just wanted to be "honest" in context...
