Sleep function
Last modified: 2011-01-14 00:07:41 UTC
Another comment from JC Etter: Another irritating change is the sleep function. On Boom, turning on the sleep function was a breeze with the button on the top. 15/30/45/60/end of song, plain easy. On Babyboom, it's now burried in submenus, the last thing I want to do before crashing into bed. I looked up the feature guide but there does not seem to be an easier access to it ?
This is a huge UI issue on a device that is mostly used as a bedside clock/radio. Honestly, if this will not get fixed I will have to return the Boom within my return period. There are two possible solutions to this issue: 1) Duplicate Boom functionality using the Alarm hard button. Long pressing Alarm should generate a popup with the end of song/15/30/45/60/cancel options and pressing the Alarm button again will cycle through each one. Selection can be made by either clicking the knob or leaving the option highlighted. 2) Add a Sleep option to the big knob click in the Now Playing screen. Navigating through settings or even accessing Sleep from the Home menu is far too cumbersome and is unacceptable.
7.4.x milestone is in the past
