Power NapThere are many ways that you can set an alarm with webOS, such as using the stock alarm feature within the Clock app, creating a calendar entry, or using apps like

or to set a countdown timer. However, if you are looking for an app that is both extremely simple to use yet also offers you a plethora of features and preferences, you should check out , by Kevin Foreman.  For 99 cents in the App Catalog, Power Nap's intended purpose was to help you set a time to wake you up from a power nap, but it can be used for almost any purpose.

Upon launching the app, you are given a few buttons and a slider that will allow you to quickly set the minutes or hours for your power nap, while displaying both the duration of the timer and the alarm time. You can actually set the default nap time in the app's preferences (accessible by from the top-left to view the Application dropdown menu and selecting Preferences), along with settings for your alarm ringtone, if you want vibration on or off, a default snooze time, and more.  Once you have you desired alarm time set, tapping the "Set Nap Time" button then brings up another pop-up that lets you set the alarm volume (which can be independent of the system's volume setting) as well as an option to show a countdown screen in the app card or just give you the .

The two features of the app that really set this apart from the other methods or time apps is that even if you close both the app and dashboard, the timer still runs in the background (to access the dashboard controls in the future, just relaunch the app), and the vibration alarm has a randomizing algorithm that makes the device seem to almost go crazy when the timer goes off. This is actually intentional, to help the "napper" realize an alarm is going off. So, the next time you need to set an alarm, whether it's for 15 minutes or 15 hours, check out Power Nap.

is available in the webOS App Catalog for $0.99 and is compatible with all webOS devices running webOS 1.3.1 or higher

      LG SIMPLINK keeps turning back on since webOS 23 update. Auto Power Sync missing.
      By Flavio_S
      On LG OLEDs. You go on and disable SIMPLINK. Fine. But everytime you turn on your HDMI device it enables itself back again. This happens because they have disables two key features that were present in previous OSs, as you can see clearly here
      link hidden, please login to view (they even put screencaps of the menus where you see the missing options in the 23) These functions are Auto Power Sync and Auto Device Detection.
      Man updates are supposed to add functionalities not the other way around. It's very annoying to turn on your TV and have your AVR turn on without you wanting to.

      Anyone found a solution for this problem?

      Tv in standby mode, then off and do not power on
      By Rayden79
      I'm having this problem with LG Oled 65c16LA with WebOs Version 03.40.85
      When I turn off the TV, it goes into standby mode.
      After 2 minutes the red standby LED turns off and it is no longer possible to turn the TV back on with the remote or with the power on button.
      It is then necessary to unplug the power supply, wait a few minutes and reconnect it.
      So the TV goes back to standby and you can turn it on again. In use everything works.
      Is it a software problem? How can I solve it?
      Thank you

      More specific power saving modes
      By nester
      Hi,
      it would be great if there was some kind of “percentage” slider or just adjusted power saving settings. Right now, there is too much difference between maximum and medium power saving mode - maximum is too dark and medium is too bright, with no way to be set between. Also difference between two brightest is not so much big.
      Second idea is to bring this setting somewhere closer (higher) in options. In my opinion, it might be the often changed setting by users. I use to change it regularly, especially between day and night.

      Power on/off sound (melody)
      By YuvalW
      Hi,
      M y TV (SK8000) started to play a short melody whenever I turn it on/off, I can't find anything in the settings that controls it, any idea how I disable it?
      It seems to start after I connected an Onkyo receiver to the TV via the HDMI ARC port, but I am not sure.
      I also entered to the IN_START and EZ_ADJUST menus but didn't change anything...
      Any ideas?
      Thx.
