In embodiments of system timeout reset based on media detection, an electronic device includes an interface connection that couples the electronic device to a peripheral. A power manager application is implemented to timeout the interface connection if user interaction with the electronic device is not detected for a timeout duration. A media data monitor is implemented to detect audio data in an audio channel of the interface connection, and initiate a reset of the timeout duration responsive to the audio data being detected. Video can continue to be rendered by the peripheral if the audio data is detected to initiate the reset of the timeout duration.

System timeout reset based on media detection

A method in a portable electronic device () of authenticating enhanced wide area network data usage capabilities is provided. Data communication between the portable electronic device and a wide area network () is detected, along with commencement a dual-operating system hybrid environment (). The dual-operating system hybrid environment can include a first operating system environment () operable to communicate with the wide area network at a restricted data rate and a second operating system environment () operable to communicate with the wide area network at either the restricted data rate or an enhanced data rate. A verification whether the portable electronic device is authorized to communicate with the wide area network at the enhanced data rate is then performed. Where true, the second operating system environment can be configured to communicate with the wide area network at the enhanced data rate.
