This may not be a revolutionary feature for me, but this addresses one of the biggest gripes I have had with the Steam Deck since release.
Hell yeah
Edit:trying it out now, seems to work really well. There are two settings for it, both under Settings>Power.
One enables it at all (and is turned on by default once updated), the other enables it on battery power specifically.
With it enabled, pressing the power button to sleep mid download will pop up a dialog window asking if you want to download with the screen off, or sleep. The initially selected option is download before sleep (so pressing A without intentionally changing your selection will choose this option). If you don’t press any buttons for 10 seconds it will just go directly to sleep instead.

Wonder if they’ll also add an option to wake up periodically to enter this mode when plugged in.
Would be nice for the Steam Deck connected to the dock and making sure updates are applied while at work…
This might, just might, make me take part in installing a beta update.
I’ll take it!
Next i hope they let the damn thing remember wifi passwords after restarts. It seems to have been doing that more recently, which makes me hope for it to eventually treat WiFi like a phone or laptop or tablet etc doesI’ve had two release day LCD and a release day OLED. None of them have ever forgotten their WiFi password running the stable OS release.
I run beta branch on OLED and no forgor passwords yet. I wonder why it’s so hit or miss with others.
Swapping between home Wi-Fi and mobile hotspot at work regularly.
Cool beans. Good for you.
No, I’m pretty sure you’re running into a much more obscure problem than you realize. I’ve never had a single password be forgetten, nor has any other person I know with a steam deck.
Wow. Let me guess. People don’t go out of their way to help you much do they, Captain Sunshine?
You have a very specific problem with your Deck/Build. Open a case with Valve and fix your problem instead of bitching on the internet.
Saying “it doesn’t happen to me so its not a problem” is not helping anyone. Sunshine.
In this specific conversation, saying three of my decks made at different times that don’t have a problem means one in four are experiencing an issue. There’s also another person saying the same thing in this thread. So 4/5 dentists agree you have a problem.
Show me the Zen Desk ticket with hundreds of people having the same WiFi issue. I looked, couldn’t find one. It’s a problem for you that you and Valve need to fix, not complain about in an otherwise nice feature story.
I love watching people over reacting. I’m sorry if i said something disrespectful to your lord and savor.
I hope your day gets better.
I’ve had it act like it forgot the WiFi password, but I think it was just a connection issue. I think I just backed out without entering anything and tried reconnecting, and it reconnected fine with the stored password.
