    Anyway to keep stopwatch on?

    Hi all,

    We all know about how the miniplayer shuts down after a period of inactivity. But what happens if we're using the stopwatch? It turns itself off even if the stopwatch is running, after a period of inactivity.

    Anyone have a solution to this? Maybe Meizu could make the stopwatch function act like the video function, where it is constantly on unless stopped...

    I kinda wish that the miniplayer would go into a state like the ipod after a while where even with it not playing music its still on just the screen is off... I dont know if thats possible if you have hold on when its turned on never tried it... kinda off topic... but there shoudl be an option int he list where you can select wether the player turns off after a while or not

    That's already in the wishlist. A lot of us have wanted this function for a long time. There is a function in the M6 that allows you to turn screen off whilst playing music to save battery though - hold the M button until screen turns dark.

    i try it one more time just to make sure. i am using v2.003.2 (with the tapping function).

    edit: i don't know what's going on but now it has turned off after like 3 minutes... but if you listening to music it won't turn off and that's sure :D

    LOL OK. I thought something was wrong with my MP3 for a second...
    I just tried it too, (without music) and it turned off around 3 to 4 minutes, like you said.
    Good idea, I'll turn music on whilst using the stopwatch. But, they should really keep the stopwatch on even if the music isn't on...

    Have music playing while using the stopwatch.
