I’m still struggling with Stand By mode.

1) I get that it’s got to be plugged in (by cable or magsafe) in order for SB to activate.. ok, fair play.. but if I leave it charging all night, won’t that have a nett negative impact on my battery health? is the answer to active that battery charging to 80% cap the solution to this?

2) I’m having a heck of time getting the phone in the right angle to get SB to activate. I have my phone on an “arm” that attaches to the bed side and i can then have my phone over my head so I watch movies in bed - then when sleep time - I can simply push the arm up/away.. but when doing so, I guess i’m not at an angle that will activate SB. Is there some type of guide or workaround to get to to activate regardless?

3) SB activation itself. I’m finding that at times, it won’t activate even if it’s at a good angle, plugged in and in a dark place… but .. if I toggle off/on the function in settings, then it will activate again. Am I imaging this or doing something wrong?

anyone?
