eboostr overriding standby?

By Shrumster | December 26th, 2008 | 4:24 am

Been using eBoostr b479 for a day now. My mobile is set to go into standby mode after an hour of inactivity. Left it running last night, with just the usual applications I leave up (Firefox, Acrobat, Y!M). I was surprised to see my machine still on (with the display off) when I woke up this morning. The main difference between my usual set-up is that I had the eBoostr control center minimized to the taskbar this time. I’m thinking that it may have been keeping my configuration from going into standby mode. Is this typically the case?

    I think so. The Eboostr system driver is supposed to cause this in order to cache files effectively, but we’ve already understood that this feature actually has its drawbacks.

    Ok, updated to b482 and I was actually surprised to see my rig on standby just now. Was running the EB Control Center minimized to taskbar, plus Y!M, Firefox, Nero and a couple of explorer windows. I think the latest build fixed it or something.
