Turn off the backlight when Mp3 playing ? and battery life ?

[Guest Marko31]

ohayo-gozaimasu,

Well i heard some people saying that turning off backlight while listening mp3 files was not possible ( this will greatly increase the battery life...) ?

What about it ? and with what kind of software ( ie betaplayer, Windows media player, PocketTV...?)

And what about battery life while playing continusly Mp3 files ? (on the mini sd)

Thanks in advance ...

/me : still seeking for a real and deep review of the SPV C500...

the screen acts normal as set in power settings for windows media and beta player when listening to mp3s and constantly on when watching movies. As for battery consumtion - it's more or less the same. From a fully charged phone this morning I've listened to about 1.5 hours of play and abit of bluetooth+gprs when required. my batt is now at 55%.

I use Pocket music for listening to MP3's and it uses the normal timouts for power saving. So it shuts the screen off after 30 seconds and continues to play the MP3. It just switchges the screen on when it starts a new track. Then after 30 seconds it goes off again.

Ok so it switche the screen on when starting a new track with pocket music :) , do you try with betaplayer ?
