I read that after 20 seconds of no use it goes into sleepmode, & if you hold a key down for 3 secs it turns back on, can u make it not go into sleep?

I've returned two of these because of the sleep mode issue and couldn't get any to wake using the manuals recommended wake option which is just by pressing any key. The sleep function varies it seems. the 1st went to sleep every 10-15 seconds. The 2nd went to sleep every 30-40 seconds.

Yes. Happens to me every 10 seconds or so. Annoying, to say the least, and quite possibly a deal breaker. I've contacted Sharkk customer service about it - will let you know what they come back with.

As far as I can tell sleep mode is an automatic function, I don't know if there is a way to disable it.

Just because the keyboard powered down does not mean your actual media should stop. I had this but sent it back, it did not affect my media playback but I did have to press the space key before typing just to start the keyboard up, if I didn't it would skip the first letter because the first letter would be the first keystroke so this would turn on the keyboard not actually type in the letter. Also no I don't think you can turn off the power save feature but I didn't need to so didn't look.

Mine goes into sleep mode after about 15 minutes, it is not normal for it to stay on. I would exchange it.

it's designed to stay on 2 or 4 hrs. or you can set it to stay on~~that's what i do ~~ #2. use the leftside of the remote~1 click gets you # 8 , then l,then #2 (you can go higher, but i don;t think that's safe when sleeping )~~then on right side ,click #s until it says 4-stay on ~then go back to left side ~press & you get a 2. i know it sounds complicated, but it reallt isn't. i'm sure the directions that come with iy will be clearer than mine good luck~it really is a nice pad ! grace

The built in sleep mode is probably why it lags sometimes because I don't use it for a while and leave it on. But yeah, it is somewhat annoying because you don't get some kind of warning of when it does go into sleep mode.

It goes to sleep mode. Have not had a chance to see if you can set up a different time set. But you can probably google the manual & find out that way.

Hi KathySleep mode are you speaking about your computer? Keyboard has no sleep mode. If this your computer that's a sleep just click your mouse or any key on the board. It should wake up.

When I put mine to sleep I close it then I open it whenever and it just turns back on automatically.

I ordered this because they say here it does not auto off but when it came it says it does in 2 hours and I tried it and it does turn off in 2 hours. What is up? I am going to try disabling it.

it says in the directions to hold the 'on' button down for 10 seconds to turn it off. Which is what we do. I didn't know it turned off after an hour, we've always done it manually

Sometimes the case puts my iPad mini to sleep, sometimes it doesn't. I just noticed this myself and make sure I use the button just to be on the safe side. It seems when I leave the keyboard ON, in standby mode, is when it doesn't put it to sleep. Maybe I missed that when reading the instructions.

I don't have it in front of me, but I never turn it off. Hasn't drained the battery in a few months either. I don't even turn off the mouse. I speculate that it put the devices in some sort of power standby. I don't remember seeing a way to turn the keyboard off.

It will go in sleep mode when you hold - button down, the display button will turn red and display 00. Hit the + button and it will display how long it will stay on before it goes to sleep again.

There isnt a wake/sleep function on the key board neither is there any mention in the user guide (a single sheet of paper). There is however an on and off switch. I would imagine there is a sleep function as if you stop typing for several minutes when you resume the first two or three letter will not show up but tapping any key and wait a second or two it will work fine. Whats bugging me with this case is that the lens opening at the back of the case is not large enoughand each time I get ready to take a photo the lens is partially covered by the case; this requires a push off the tablet to reposition the opening.

Were you turning it on or resuming from sleep mode? Resuming from sleep mode takes three seconds.

To turn it off just hold the back and the down button at the same time. This is not the same as sleep mode. To make the zune sleep just hold the play button until the screen turns dark then lock it.
