Is there an easy way (or even a difficult way) to achieve this on the 3100 (Sharp ROM)? Since it takes a second or two to wake up fully (ie respond to keystrokes) and I wouldn't open it if I didn't want to switch it on, it would seem logical for it to switch on automatically as on opening (at least, for this to be possible). There's an option for switching off (or not) when closed, after all...

posibly, however as far as i amaware it would need a kernel patch.
i belive the open close screen hindge buttons are connected to the GPIOs rather tahn the keyboard scanning matrix, if it is then it shouldnt be to hard to tell them to cause an interupt on a level change (close open) funnily enough on my c3000 i can wake up from suspend by pushing one of the round buttons (home calender or one of them) dont know if this is a bug or a feature |

As far as I remember, the GPIO where the hinge is connected to can't be configured as a wake-up source.

On a related note, can you have the device NOT turn on if it is closed (and not suffer battery loss)? I have issues with my C3100 turning on in my pocket, which is quite annoying.

It should be pretty trivial to write an /etc/apm/resume.d script which calls chkhinge and resuspends if required, maybe something like this:
CODE #!/bin/sh
chkhinge if [ $? = 3 ]; then apm -s fi |

Awesome. I'll probably need more specific instructions later (never done anything with /etc/apm/resume.d), though.

OK, I copied that script, put it in /etc/apm/resume.d, and chmodded it, but it still turns on when the lid is closed (and doesn't resuspend). Do I need to put something in /etc/apm/scripts or something?
Thanks. |

Is there an alternate way to do this? |

dont know if its handy to anyone but i did have a chkhinge script that turns the PDA off when the lid is clesed but not if my music was playing
also have another one to pause the music when you close the lid and suspend (otherwise when i resumed it and had removed the headphones the teded to be a bit of embaressment) |
