  1. Windows sleep timer not working only when plugged in


    My laptop can't sleep automatically when plugged in, but I already set the sleep timer on battery 15 minutes and while plugged in 30 minutes. It only can sleep automatically if on battery but it can't sleep automatically while plugged in. I've already set the timer 30 minutes for my laptop to sleep while plugged in but it can't sleep automatically.

    :)

    Radio sleep timer

    Hello ogee67,



    Thank you for posting on forum.



    Not sure what sleep timer you were talking about.



    If you want a STOP Music button for Radio…

    There is now such option for FM radio that was introduced with recent update. You can post a suggestion for sleep timer function to be introduced in Wp8 radio, at WP Suggestion box.

    http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions

    or suggest introducing such function to STOP Music app in app review.





    If you would like to wake up with radio instead of alarm clock sound…

    Some apps can do it but not with FM radio. Here is an example of such app:

    Microsoft Apps



    Kind regards,



    Renata
