Turn clock off in bedside mode?
- Hi folks,
Is there any way, or is there an app available, to turn the clock completely off in Bedside Mode? I know it dims, but not enough, and I have to cover it with a sock! Switching the phone off obviously makes the LED flash while charging, which is no good at all, when trying to get to sleep. I just want to be able to charge my phone overnight, without it keeping me awake. Surely, not too much to ask?
Cheers,

- Is there a reason you have it go into bedside mode in the first place? are you keeping that setting to mute any calls and msgs that come in overnight? I think if the end button routine wasn't working/convenient enough for ya, I would just go to the clock, hit menu, choose options, and change the When Charging box to Do Nothing.05-25-09 03:05 AMLike 0

Turning bedside mode off is not a solution, as it then notifies when messages are received. I guess I could put it in silent mode, or, as has been suggested, turn it over (I had actually thought of that), but it seems a bit silly that there's no option to have everything off while charging.05-25-09 05:27 AMLike 0 - Have you even TRIED going into the options OP?
I have had my phone since Dec and never have a LED blinking when charging, and my bedside mode isn't even on
In the clock app, press the BB Button, Options, scroll down to bedside mode, Choose "Yes" to disable the LED, "Yes" to disable Radio, "Yes" to dim the screen.
Then when you are ready to hit the sack, enter the clock app, press BB button, press Enter Bedside Mode, and you're good to go.
To shut off the LED normally:
BB Button > Options > Screen/Keyboard > Led Coverage Indicator > Switch to off > Save
In the 6 months I've had this phone, the only time I've ever seen a green LED is when I dropped to low battery05-25-09 06:23 AMLike 0 - Yes, thanks for the sarcasm. Is it really necessary?

Don't shut your phone off, and when it's plugged in, just shut off the radio and the screen will dim on its own05-25-09 07:40 AMLike 0 - And if you don't want any notification sounds at all, you can set the device's sound profile to "All Alerts Off". Everything will still come through on the phone, but it won't alert you to any of it. That way you don't have to worry about Bedside Mode and the clock being too bright.05-25-09 11:16 AMLike 0
- Try turning your screen brightness to 10% as well. I leave mine there all the time and it is perfect for Bedside Mode.05-26-09 04:22 PMLike 0
- On my BB Bold using the red key as suggested will bring up the main screen, but that will dim out completely after a minute or so. When I go back to the clock, the screen will dim down and then fade to black. Maybe returning to the home screen and knocking it out of it's original "show clock dimmed, but don't fade out completely" mode will let the backlight fade to black as it normally would?11-13-10 11:08 AMLike 0
- Set your phone on a hyberpad at night. (a leather pads with sleeper magnets)
Use the "in hoster settings" to tailor how you want your BB to behave. let calls through or remain silent and send to voice mail etc.
The phone will be completely dark while on the hyberpad.
It will work with a skin but if you use a case with a magnet during the day this is not a good solution.11-14-10 07:23 PMLike 0 - you could also turn to your other side, while sleeping. I have a big bright digital alarm clock beside my bed, which would probably disturb most people I guess, not me. But again, I sleep like I'm in a deep coma or being shot in the head and died, according significant others.11-14-10 07:46 PMLike 0
