I have activated the advanced power feature where my xda2 will turn it off automatically after it is not used for, say, 3 minutes.
Initially my xda2 will turn itself on by an incoming call. However, after some time, my xda2 will not be able to turn on when there is incoming call. Furthermore, I noted that whenever this happen, I am unable to swith it on, even by pressing the Power button. Each time I have to perform a hard reset and that erase all the data in my xda2.
Is there anything that I could do to prevent this from happening? Right now I could only choose to turn off the backlight whenever my xda2 is not in used.
I would appreciate if someone could advise me on how to go about addressing this problem. By the way, I have upgraded my ROM version to 2.06.00WWE.

My PDA2k seems to be turning itself off even when in use :?
I use TomTom3 in the car, and even when the power is plugged into the bottom it was turning off ever few minutes.
I just took a phone call and when I has finished talking I noticed the screen had gone blank and pressing the red handset didn't bring it back, the power button did. (I do have screen lock on).
Having said that, thinking about it, I was watching TV progs on WMP on the way home and it never shut itself off once :?:
Anyone have any idea what is going on? Is this normal?
I have an o2 XDA2 S running TomTom 3 with the TomTom cradle. I occassionally find that the pda just turns itself off.
It doesn't happen all the time.
I have also found that sometimes during a call the pda turns itself off and I cant get it back on by pressing the handset key, just the on off button.
Cheers

click start>settings>system>backlight . . in here you can change the time it takes to turn off in not touched the device, 5 mins max.... also if you click button lock in system settings, you can set it so that when it happens, you can tap screen and it comes back on again.... tho i prefer to keep that off, otherwise it may ring people while it its protective case.. :lol:
and going by all the software that is out for these xda's, you can prob find a programe /or hack to change it even longer if you need that!!!
But when it is on external power (plugged into the car using TT3), it shouldn't shut down at all. Aside that, when in use (when receiving a call) I wouldn't think it should shut down should it?
I have a seperate scren lock installed too. I found the built in one not enough. When it is in my belt pouch and I get a text, or connect to my BT car kit or something, it wakes it up. All of a sudden all the keys are being pressed (by the squeeze of the case) and all kinds of applications are opening!
Hello since i've upgraded to the new radio version 1.11 on my device, this is what happens: if i want to switch off the backlighting of the q9000 in order to save energy and afterwards back again, either the device doesnt recover from that state and i have to reset it, or the device lights up when i try to wake it up by pushing on any button or on the screen with the stylus, but is freezed and i cannot activate it back again;The green network light keeps flashing but nothing wakes the device up.
Could someone help me out of this one, as this is quite annoying, as you can imagine.
Brgds, aDHOC.
Hi all,
received my O2 Oribt this morning and have spent most of the day playing around and trying to get it set up. I have tried a few things and failed at a few things and now have some questions.
1) as far as a stand-by mode goes...it just fades out the backlight right? theres no screen saver or blank screen option? I did see an option to turn the unit off after x number of minutes but surely this means it wont receive calls or anything, not much good as a phone when it's turned off.
2) I can't find anywhere where I can set the device name for bluetooth. Is there anywhere to do this?
3) is it possible to change the text message alert tone?
4) I recently read a thread about a T9 input cab. does this allow you to write text messages as in a 'normal' phone - using a number pad and not the keyboard and stylus?
I'm sure I'll have some more questions at some point!!
many thanks for any help
I would start by saying having taken the manual out of the box? and secondly have you actually started to read it.
1/ You are pressing the power button for too long a simple press and release is all that is needed to turn the unit off. Press and hold the power button and the back light goes out (as you have found). The phone part is not actually switched off even with the screen off, if a call comes in it will wake up, you can turn the phone off by putting the device in flight mode, or settings/ Phone.
2/ Why do you want to change the BT device name, it should be the same as the owner IIRC
3/ Start/ Settings/ personal/ Sounds and notifications
4/ Never used that so cannot comment - Mike
about two nights ago i was on the phone using speakerphone, my phone was also hooked up to my computer but activesync wasn't working so i did a soft reset which seems to always fix that. what i did was that i told the person i was on the phone with that i would call them back and i did a soft reset while on the phone with them while it was on speakerphone instead of hanging up. when my phone turned on again i noticed that the speakerphone icon was in the title bar and apparently speakerphone was on. i made a phone call but speakerphone actually wasn't on, i pressed the button to try and turn it off but it didn't, i opened up the menu options and tried to shut it off from there but also failed. i've done a soft reset but that didn't work, i've looked around for a bout a day and a half but i haven't found anything. i am really trying to avoid a hard reset but unless someone can help me out i think i might have to
any help is greatly appreciated
fixed!
i installed a program called Speakerphone that automatically turns on your speakerphone when you have an incoming call having it automatically turn on re-enabled the "speakerphone off" key
Any way to disable auto device lock after ending a call on the Verizon TP2? I tried a cab but it didn't work. After I hang up or end a call, the phone automatically locks itself requiring me to press Unlock then type in the password (none in my case, just tap Unlock again).
Also, is there any hack/tweak to add a "screen off" button for Windows Media Player? It lets you set one but anything other than a keyboard key isn't recognized. Closing the device after turning the screen off just turns the screen back on, and using the standby power button on top stops the music from playing.
Finally, is there a way to make it so the power button (standby power on top) has to be held for a couple of seconds before it turns the screen on, or off?
This is for the Verizon Touch Pro 2. Thanks for any help in advance!
Bump! Anyone?
I have the same problem with locking after a call. Anyone have any idea?
i believe the cab ur looking for to disable the auto lock is called "disable_devide_autolock" or something of that nature ***note, you must soft reset after install for the changes totake effect***
Has it always done this? I have a VZ TP2, and it doesn't lock after a call. It only locks when the phone reaches the pre-set time limit. Maybe setting got bumped somehow?
