I really like the pico projector and projected keyboard. I would love to see that in a real phone.

I tried to set up WOL on my server according to some instructions on here (I believe). But every time that I would put it to sleep it would immediately wake back up.
[/quote]I have that problem on my gaming rig. If I put it to sleep it wakes right back up. I have to put it into hibernate. I’ll have to try that lastwake command babgvant posted.

I would rather have that problem over what I’m seeing with my development system. I can suspend it but when I try to wake it up it starts the process then hangs. I have to do a full reboot to get it to start up again properly. Guess I’ll have to work on that…[quote=”Meester.Rip”]

Guess I’ll have to work on that…I was happy for quite some time leaving my system on 24/7 because the Mythtv backend is [i]super[/i] stable but it kept coming back to my power bill. My wife is already used to waiting for a short period before she can watch TV because my frontend system currently also shuts down completely. My old frontend would suspend but three times I had to RMA the motherboard because it wouldn’t wake up. When I switched to this new frontend the suspend function didn’t work right and I haven’t put in enough time to figure out the problem yet. Soon though. But for now it’s a good thing because it’s ok if the TV isn’t instantly ready. She’s used to it. 🙂

[url=http://www.missingremote.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5139&Itemid=229]Original Article Link[/url]Man, I’d love to, but the USB-UIRT doesn’t wake the PC in Windows 7 64-bit.
[/quote]Since my backend is a dedicated server I don’t have to worry about that. The shutdown process sets the BIOS wakeup time and it can also be woken up by WOL (Wake-On-LAN) from my frontends. No direct input needed. And of course I can just hit the power button on the front too if I wanted. But since the server is hard to reach that’s not a great option for me.

Wouldn’t standby be a better option? The difference in watts b/w S3 and S5 is usually just a couple, and it comes back up much faster.
[/quote]I would like to do suspend instead of shutdown but this was a quick and dirty implementation and I didn’t have time to find the right commands for suspend. As I said in the blog post, suspend is an improvement that I plan to make.

Then I am happy to have spread the word about it. Hopefully once I get my backend working at 0.23 I’ll be able to fully test it and give it a big thumbs up.
