Auto Suspend

So what happens? The screen just goes black in the middle of a game? I guess that would be a clue to plug it in if you’re expecting it.

Right now, having it shut down when you didn’t realize the battery was low is really annoying.

But here’s something I’ve done many times. I pick up my Deck, I turn it on without thinking, and it turns out it’s at 0% or very close to it, and as the screen comes on, the voltage drop from waking up has lowered the voltage below the low-voltage shut off, so it just shuts down immediately.

I did this like three times before I learned to always plug in the Deck before turning it on if i’m not certain I have good battery.

So what would happen with this plugin installed? Would it wake up and then immediately go to sleep again? Or is there a threshold where it doesn’t check if it should sleep within a certain period of being woken up? In that case, it would just shut down, like normal. But I’m wondering if there’s a chance the plug-in catches that and makes it go back to sleep. Because that would be excellent as long as I knew what was happening.
