    Unfortunately I can't be of much help...but have to say that's one of the strangest things i've heard. Are the options there but greyed out so that you can't adjust, or do they just not appear at all?

    Maybe you should try Sony's tech support, might be worth a shot.

    i know , its bugging me. the options are not even there. i mean, i get around 7 hours of battery life with just surfing , taking notes, and aim, but i wonder how much i could get if i actually could turn off more things.
