I've been using AA batteries for my controller for over 2yrs, & recently it's been acting up (even when using brand new batteries) it just flashes rings & disconnects.

So I've bought 'Play & Charge' kit, at the moment it works like a gem, but the annoyance at the moment is that each time I switch off the console via controller when it's still plugged in, it goes on standby mode (I know it does this due to the settings or it's actually charging), but I don't want it to go on standby, so I changed the settings (basically disabled standby download), it works HOWEVER now I've notcied that when I'm watching a DVD (using Xbox 360 Universal Remote), it lights up controller 1 ring, & if I try switching the console off with the remote, it again goes into standby mode (even when the controller is green/fully charged).

In a nutshell, switching off via controller the console switches off normally. Switches off via remote, it goes into standby mode. So how (what settings) do I prevent my console from going into standby mode? I know I can easily just unplug it, but is there another alternative way?

The standby mode is good... it automatically turns off after the controller is fully charged. It may take a minute or two to recognize the full charge, but trust me... it will turn off.
