[CetinTek]

Hello,

I have developed a Alarm-Application its work fine. But now I have a big Problem. When the ppc is in Sleep-Mode, the Alarm do not work. The Application start, but the Display is Off and no sound hear. How can I wake up the ppc from Sleep-Mode before my Alarm-Application starts??
Thank you very much.

How are you waking the device? With RunAppAtTime?

[CetinTek]

yes, I make it with the With RunAppAtTime-Methode. With the ScreenOn-Command it works not, because my Device don't support this function.
With the BackLightOn-Command, the Display go on and after any seconds the Display go off. What can I do ??

[Erel]

This is a known problem with many devices which doesn't fully support this method.
You can try to repeatedly call BackLightOn (with a timer).
Also try to call KeepAlive.

Hello Erel,

with "BackLightOn" and "KeepAlive" it doesn't work. The display switch on and after 3 second, the display switch off again. I doesn't understand, why i found no solution for this problem in this forum. This function is not needed? My Alarm-Clock is Garbage, when this function not work. Have you got an idea ?

Thank you, for your helping.

This is a known problem and it is not specific to Basic4ppc.
You can also try to show a msgbox when the device wakes up.

hi Erel,

msgbox doesn't work too. It's the same problem. After 3 seconds the ppc swich off. Do you can write a little "dll" to solute this problem? This is an important function for your B4ppc.

I don't know yet about a solution to this problem.
If a solution will be found it will be added to the Hardware library.

I use MortScript's ToggleDisplay(1) to turn on the screen on my Kaiser since ScreenOn doesn't work. Please look in to this Erel, now I still need to use MortScript
I was hoping to leave mortscript behind me since I found Basic4PPC.

Thanks,

Cheers,

Is it not possible to simulate a "standby" key press???
