Hi everyone,
I have a ThinkPad Tablet 2. Last night I wanted to download a file, but I had a problem. I started my download through Internet Download Manager, but I couldn't turn off the display without stopping the download progress. This means Windows 8 translates "Turn off Monitor" to "Sleep Mode" so every background task stops.
I don't want to see the bright light of the screen ( even at lowest ) when I go to sleep, and more important, the health of display is a concern so I dont want it to be always on.
So I asked. And so far every app that has written for turning the display off, is somehow faulty, and it seems its just because Clover Trail which has Connected Standby thing.
I've tested NirCMD, RefreshLock, AutoHotKey and TurnOffLCD. NirCMD, RefreshLock and AutoHotKey trigger sleep mode right away. But TurnOffLCD turns of the display and download continues, but only for a time. After an unpredictable amount of time, device does not interact any more.
So what's the catch ?
Thanks in advance.
