do you leave your 3DS on while you do other things?

[matt]

I usually leave mine in sleep mode , unless I go to bed then which I'll turn it off. Who knows, someone may walk past your house with a 3ds

If I'm not going to be using it at all, I'll shut the lid and leave it in sleep mode, although I think I do really leave it in sleep mode for too long periods really. I'll often leave New Leaf idling for short periods while I do something else, as I often get people talking to me. I do also simply forget it's turned on, so it'll sit there about an hour before I realise and shut the lid.

Mines not off unless the battery dies, even the I'll plug it in and turn it back on.

 

[yoyo98]

Mines only on when I'm playing it. I'll just put it in sleep mode if I need to do something quick, but if it takes a while, I shut my 3ds off.

 

[Claris]

Mine is usually on, so that if I go out, it is ready to streetpass people.

 

[visibleghost]

um yeah I always turn it off when I'm not using it. I often watch youtube videos while playing so sometimes I will put my 3ds down for a few minutes but then I'll either turn it off or continue playing.

 

[DarkDesertFox]

I leave mine on by accident a lot. Sometimes it's in sleep mode all night.

 

[MaryOldacre]

If I'm not straight-up playing it, I'm looking up something related to what I'm playing, so it'll be open and running next to me. I actually rarely have it off, just so if I go somewhere, I can get play coins. I also sometimes just forget it's open, so it just stays on while I'm out or something, haha.

 

[Uly]

I rarely turn mine off. It has a very long battery plus I like opening it and just start playing~

 

[Midoriya]

Sometimes, if I'm too busy for a couple hours and can't save my file on a game, I'll leave it turned on for a little bit while plugged into the wall....

 

[Moose716]

I'm always in a rush so I usually leave it on. I'm trying to make t a habit to turn t off

 

[ibelleS]

I keep it in my bag on sleep mode when I'm at school, out shopping, etc.

 

[bloomwaker]

I leave it on for the PWP suggestion trick, or in sleep mode when I'm out, for Street Pass.

 

[Zandy]

I keep it on a lot mostly because I'm too lazy to take the 5 extra seconds to turn it off ;o;...

 

[Pokemanz]

If I turn it on at all during the day, I always end up leaving it in sleep mode until I go to bed.

 

[mintellect]

I keep it in sleep mode whenever I'm not playing.

 

[SockHead]

i have a launch day aqua blue 3ds and i have never turned it off once :-}

 

[aericell]

I leave it on most of the day for streetpass, sometimes I forget to turn it off until late at night

 

[Jill]

fo ex. while scrolling through the forums, going to eat dinner, etc i personally don't, mainly b/c my activity log would be way off and battery life aha

(i realized this has nothing to do w/ ACNL oops?)

Luckily stuff here doesn't appear to have to be about ACNL- I don't leave mine on for the same reasons, I may sit it down for like 2 or three minutes if, say, I'm waiting for an animal to come by my house or something. Or if it's in the last few minutes of a tourney and I want to see the results. :3

 

[Meemster]

Mine is always on.. its easier to just open my 3ds and just play.
