Standby Mode?

[trublu01]

I could swear in WM5 and the leaked WM6, that I was able to have the Treo go into "standby" mode after a few seconds. I've searched on this phone and can not find the setting. Under Settings/Today/Items there is a "today timeout", which increments by hours. What does this do when/when not set? Under Settings/Power/Advanced there is "On battery power", which increments by minutes. This seems like the correct setting, but after about 1 minute the backlight goes off, but does not "turn off". Then there is the setting for Backlight, which I have set for 30 seconds. WOW! There is just too much goin on here, and I can't remember how to get this thing in standby after just a few seconds of idle.

check the brightness and power settings

Backlight is set to turn off after 10 seconds, which the screen actually dims. Then after another bit of time the screen dims even more, but I can still see the Home Screen. Power is set to "Turn off device if not used for" 1 minute, but the device doesn't seem to "turn off" at all What does the "Today Timeout" do? I have it unchecked but only has choices for hour increments.

"Today Timeout" is for the calendar (how far in advance should the calendar display appointments).

The power and backlight settings are the right controls for what you are trying to accomplish. Have you configured and enabled both battery and external power settings?
