GameXplain recently released a video in which they test if the Switch will download games faster in Sleep Mode. While some complications arose in figuring out just when the data had actually finished downloading, the results seem to show games being downloaded about 15% faster in Sleep Mode compared to the consoles normal state. All times listed in this table are in minutes, which means on average the Nintendo Switch is around a minute faster per GB you have to download when it’s awake than when you put it into Sleep Mode. That means for those future big downloads, you’ll definitely want to put your console into sleep mode to get them downloaded much quicker.

Will Switch Download In Sleep Mode

This meant you had to press the power button for 12 seconds to turn the Switch off. This has been fixed thanks to Developer Naehrwert today BUT some bad news for all you People on 3.0.0 – 3.0.2. It seems like Sleep-mode is still broken on that Firmware. If you are on 1.0.0, 2.0.0 – 2.3.0 or 4.0.0+ you can now enjoy botting your Switch with Hekate and then put it into standby mode like you normally would to use it later.alright, fixed sleep for all other fw versions as well— naehrwert (@naehrwert). – till when I feel like looking at this again, in the meantime I'm sure will take good care of it— naehrwert (@naehrwert)Many people have probably also noticed that upon updating to 5.1.0 the Homebrew-Menu stopped working (didn’t load up anymore) and therefore you were unable to use any Homebrew. There was no apparent reason to be found at first.

Many people were using an old build of the Homebrew-Menu but even when using the latest commits the Menu would still not show up. But now the culprit to all this has finally been found.If you're on 5.1.0 and want HBL to work, add a 0-byte file called 'rtld.stub' to sd:/atmosphere/titles/00100d/exefs/ — 5.1.0 added a run-time link daemon to system applets, and while I've had it stubbed out apparently most users haven't, which causes HBL to not boot.— Michael (@SciresM)That’s correct. All you need to have a working Homebrew-Menu again is to create one simple empty file and copy it to your SDCard. While that’s all that’s needed to get the Homebrew-Menu going again on 5.1.0 I would still advise to also update the hbmenu.nro file with a newer one since it got many improvements and also some errors (like being unable to launch a game after using the Homebrew-Menu) have since been fixed. To make all this easier I created an updated sdfiles.zip package with the latest Homebrew-Menu compiled as of now (2018.06.04) which can be used together with HekateCTCaer to enjoy Homebrew on your Switch while still enjoying being on the latest Firmware.With this Homebrew has once again become even nicer and better to use on the Switch but I still can’t wait for Atmosphere and the features it will offer to us end-users. I’m also staying curious about what TX OS will add to the table though once it’s released so stay sharp and have fun with this release.

As you can see in the video above put together by the folks at GameXplain, it seems that it has been noticed that if you were to put the Nintendo Switch in sleep mode, you will be able to download games faster compared to normal. The exact metrics are unclear since it is difficult to judge as sleep mode does not let you check your progress, but the tests conducted have found that your downloads should be faster by around 15% versus if your console is in use.Granted 15% isn’t exactly a huge figure, but it is faster and if you’re looking to shave some time off on downloads, especially those bigger files, we guess it does help a bit.

It is possible that in sleep mode, other processes aren’t being used so the focus would be on the download, thus the increase in speed.It is also why it has been theorized that if you were to put your phone in airplane mode and turn off all connections, your phone should in theory charge faster. In any case this is something you might want to think about if you are looking to improve your download speeds on the Switch. Open software updater removal.
