Is it really so difficult to answer such an easy question?

Cmon guys

[Asmodian]

Huh? this is a user forum, if you want an official answer ask support.

Yes, the auto shut off is a feature of the software.

I agree with you guys! The software needs to be able to turn this feature off! I hope Logitech will fix it ASAP! Thanks

For those having disconnections problems (not the auto shut off stuff) I might have found a solution. Follow the link to the related forum post and check if it helps. Tks! http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Headphones-Headsets-Microphones/G930-quot-disconnecting-quot/m-p/54935...

• I fixed the problem. The reason why the problem came back was because the trainer that was created by a previous person went out of date because of the driver updates. I have updated it

Many thanks to Asmodian and the others in this forum.  I just got setup with my G930 and wanted to share some tips relevant to this forum as a way of saying, "Thank you!"

I HIGHLY recommend running AutoHotkey... your productivity will sky-rocket and the capabilities are awesome.  Anyway, here are some awesome solutions for G930 that I whipped up today:

1. for the auto-off fix, I just have the following snippet at the top of my .ahk file - it's the last code that gets run before any hotkey definitions.  The code simply plays a wav file every 9.67 minutes.  The loop will run forever but hotkeys below this code will still get loaded no problem.  I'm using Asmodian's silence.wav (thank you!)

while TRUE
{
    Sleep, 580000
    SoundPlay, C:\Media\silence.wav        ; just enough to simulate activity
}


2. You can also easily program the G buttons to do anything.  In the G930 program, set the G keys to the following:

G1 - PowerDVD-Fullscreen

G2 - PowerDVD-Play/Pause

G3 - PowerDVD-Next Chapter

These commands simply issue keyboard scan codes (at least for me).  Using AutoHotKey, I simply capture those scan codes and run whatever I want  (of course, I don't use PowerDVD or these particular scan codes for anything else... if you do, try to find some other commands that issue keyboard scan codes and then use them instead.  I found these scan codes by using the AutoHotKey key history utility)  Here is the code in your .ahk file.  Having the buttons answer and hangup skype is AWESOME:

;------------------------------ G930 KEYS ------------------------------
SC12C::                                                                    ; G1 BUTTON
    SendInput {Media_Play_Pause}
    return
SC139::                                                                    ; G2 BUTTON
    SendInput ^!+{PgUp}                ; My Skype answer hotkey
    return
SC131::                                                                    ; G3 BUTTON
    SendInput ^!+{PgDn}                ; My Skype hang up hotkey
    return

All of this works great for my Windows XP x64 setup, and all the buttons have an instant response.  I hope this helps someone... good luck!

Thanks! A great option for disabling the auto-off feature.

Hi, I am considering buying this headset. However the "auto shut-off" issue sounds like a bit of a killer for my likely use scenario.

Has this actually been fixed or is it still an issue? It seems there is a working hack for this but I would be happier if the official software worked properly instead.

[Angry_G930_owne]

No, and I don't believe there will be anything official in the future. Logitech don't care about customer feedback. You should read other topics about g930 problems, because auto shut-off is not the only problem with this headset.

[anthropoidape]

Thanks. It seems like I will not buy one based on the information I am finding here. It seems very disappointing that logitech have not sorted out such an obvious problem.
