Can't get a refund on the R4i? Just have to cut your losses and get the more reliable card. Or wait. Your choice.
The DS doesn't actually have a sleep mode, all carts are still active (even physical game carts) when the lid is closed. I have, multiple times, closed my DSi with an official Pokemon cart running, only to find it dead or near-dead in the morning.One of my concerns about getting the DSTWO is its battery consumption. From what I've heard, even if you close the 3DS (whether in a game or not) as long as the cartridge is in there it's draining battery like crazy. It's really frustrating, though that R4i is doing this crap right now, because I switched to it because I was sick of Acekard's crap. Why can't we have a DSTWO without half of those extra fancy features that suck out so much battery life?

If you need to pause with a DS, do an RTS and turn it off.
Sounds like a contact issue between the 3DS and the DSTwo, and/or between the DSTwo and the MicroSD.Seems like im out of luck or I dont know anything about what im trying to do... I got my DSTWO and ive been trying to make it work on my 3DSXL 4.4.0-10U but the card is not shown on the 3DS menu. If I go to settings and then go out to the menu the card is there but if I launch it, it gives me an error...

just pointing out that draining in "sleep mode" is not a DSTwo thing, it's a DS thing in general.
Do you have updated the firmware of the DSTWO? Do you have the EOS on the microSD card?Question, how can it be a contacts issue if after going in and out of 3ds settings the card icon shows? it gives an error but the icon shows....

The header checks aren't just the actual header anymore, they also want some info from the ROM. From what we can guess, the cart keeps the header data flashed to itself, but reads the extra data off the MicroSD. If you try a DSTwo without a MicroSD, it won't be read even by carts that would normally read it.Question, how can it be a contacts issue if after going in and out of 3ds settings the card icon shows? it gives an error but the icon shows....
It depends on what was being done beforehand, as the DSTwo can run at multiple speeds.My point is that reports have told me that the DSTwo specifically drains the battery more than a normal cartridge and when the system is closed it continues to drain the battery at the same rate and not a reduced rate as it's supposed to.
