Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm handling
Cold-1;513983 Wrote: Hi, it would be cool if I could configure the order of the functions to turn/snooze an alarm. If an alarm goes off, I have no problems getting up. I *never* use snooze. But I find it hard fiddling around the knob to go to the next menu item to stop the alarm. I know that I can press the power-off button instead. But I would prefer hitting the larg knob, it's more handy than searching for the power button. So configuring the order of the menu entries, or alternativly turning the Snooze function off would be cool. C. True the whole snooze issue has added a layer of complexity to the whole alarm firing deal. I never use snooze ever (in my entire life). If snooze could be turned off for those who don't want it, then maybe there would be one menu item on the pop-up screen -- so just press the big knob and it turns off alarm. Because the radio lacks a dedicated snooze button they had to make a one button approach -- so I don't think changing the menu order is the answer. Getting rid of snooze entirely (sort of hiding it) for those who don't use it/need it would be great. Does another 10 minutes of sleep really make a difference? Get your lazy butt up. Or, just set the alarm to go off 10 minutes later. I never understood snooze. Logically, you should set the alarm for the LATEST possible time you can get up -- so if you snooze you'll be late (so why even bother with it)? -- eap eap's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32788 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74921 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I reckon the reason you can't go into standby is because you are using a screensaver for off based on an applet that isn't loaded (eg CustomClock).
