Dutch_12078 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 The current firmware does not have the always on option. Back when the option removal was first reported, there was a way to prevent the Mobley from updating, but there is no path backwards. Some folks have used a small digital timer to turn the unit off for several seconds and back on just before the 2 hour limit.

Darryl&Rita Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 When Mobley was the hot ticket, some put them on a timer to cycle power briefly.

podwerkz Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 I have a small programmable digital timer with 9 daily programs. I have the Mobley USB power block plugged into the timer. I set the timer to cycle off for 30 seconds every two hours. So this will power it for about 18 hours a day with minimal noticeable interruptions. It's not bad...if it drops out when I'm watching a video I go take a 2 minute break and by the time I sit back down, the video is already playing again. With low-res settings, sometimes the drop-out is very short-lived. During normal surfing of websites, its rarely noticeable since I tend to 'pre-load' webpages all at once and browse them at a leisurely pace. Works for me! Quote Nothing to see here.

bryansues Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 We have ours set on the 2 hour limit. When we plug it in, after we have a signal we just shake it and it stays on until we unplug it. If for some reason it goes off, just shake it again but that usually only happens if we have a weak signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLRam1 Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 There was a made up wire that put out a higher voltage which would prevent shut off, you could get them off ebay. Quote Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Yokum Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Have been leaving it on 24-7 with no problem. However, a "timed" on/off period is probably a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaydrvr Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 I have my Mobley set up on a twice a day timer, but it no longer seems to need resetting. Occasionally, it'll quit though and I have to manually reset it, but that's rare. That seems to be more a function of location than anything else.
