I used to be able to listen to my radio even when the iPad goes into sleep mode. Now I cannot. The kids have been playing around with it and I am not sure if they did something or not?

I used to be able to listen to the radio during the sleep mode, now I cannot. I have to keep pressing the button to wake it up to listen again. Changed the auto lock to 5 minutes and now the display remains on, which of course doesn't help the battery life....frustrated

You both have me confused and I may have totally missed the point here but ...


No. 1 - If you play a podcast - the iPad is active and doesn't go to sleep. I should say my iPad does not go to sleep while playing a podcast. I have my iPad set to sleep after two minutes and the 5 minute podcast that I chose to play never let the iPad go to sleep.


No. 2 - if you are playing a podcast and worried about battery life, doesn't the podcast use the battery while it is playing?


However, If I activate the sleep function while the podacst is playing, then the podcast does in fact stop at that point.
