Timer app for turning off the box (like in TV)

[piasq]

Hello,
I've just received the S89 from Geekbuying - it's working perfectly .

I search for some kind of "off timer" app - something like in TV, where I can choose the time to turn off the unit. Does someone has some experience with this?

Thank you for the response.

You can mess with this script and put it in init.d....set a sleep timer and use this...this was for setting when wake but could easily be set for sleep. Find the command to shut down from command line.

#!/system/bin/sh

(while [ 1 ]
do
AWAKE=`cat /sys/power/wait_for_fb_wake`
if [ $AWAKE = "awake" ]; then
settings put global airplane_mode_on 1
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state true
sleep 5s
settings put global airplane_mode_on 0
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state false
AWAKE=
fi
SLEEPING=`cat /sys/power/wait_for_fb_sleep`
if [ $SLEEPING = "sleeping" ]; then
sleep 5s
SLEEPING=
fi
done &)


Put this script in your init.d and it cycles airplane mode on wake.

I think it isn't really helpful because:
1. how I understand this script only react at wake up to manage something special at that moment but not manage the wake up
2. if you will manage power off or sleep with a looping script you only can do this with fix value for time (or have to edit this script or a parameter file every time you want to use it)
3. not possible/useful for 'normal' users

There are many 'schedule' shutdown app(s) on google market
-however you might need root access

Goodluck
