HOW DO I TURN OFF MY PHONE!!!!. i need to turn the power off completely so i can prompt my dual sim to change to the other sim.
when i press the power but it seems to do 3 things
turn the backlight off
turn the backlight on
turns the phone off but in standby mode (ie as soon as i touch another button it comes on again)
If I do a soft reset while the phone is in this standby mode sometimes it will change the sim but most of the time it won’t
Uhm, just a quick thought:
What about turning on and off flight mode (which normaly disables the phone part)?
HTH,
BGK
cheers mate that seems to work!!! it one of those y didn't i think of that moments.
now i can start cutting up my sim cards to fit in this device

Hi all,
My XDA IIs works well before. But few days ago the Power button doesnt work properly, it can turn on the phone, hold to turn off the back light, but I can't use it to turn my phone screen off like before. Anyone has same problem ?
Can you see any part of the screen? It might just be that the backlight adjustments are set too low when the unit isn't cradled. You might be able to see the screen in daylight.. or maybe it was inside your home. I forgot where I was at when it happened to me. In anycase, if you can see a bit of images on your screen, go into the Backlight properties and change the setting to your liking.
Good luck..
The problem is i can just press the power button to turn off my phone BEFORE (the screen is completly off), and NOW it doesnt work at all ! When my phone was off, I can press the Power button to turn it on, or when I hold it for few seconds the back light will be turned off, but press once to turn off. I dont know why, if somthing wrong with the Power button it should be doesnt work at all, that's mean i cannot turn on my phone as well. But other functions of the Power button are still work well, except the 'Turn off' :roll:
power off doesn't work anymore
I have the same problem here. I can't use the power button to power off my qtek 9090!!
i can use the power button to turn my pda on and to switch the background light on and off - so the "hardware side" of the power button is working.
however, i can't use the power button to turn off the device. it's very annoying, because i can't put it in my pocket after finishing a call :-(
this should be some sort of a software problem - so i hard resetted my device (a couple of times) - but that didn't help!
can anyone help?
thanks,
lorenz
the ba doesn't turn off it is always on staand by mode. ->settings -> system -> button lock
this will stop any missed call because when the ba is in standby the power button is the only one to work
power on is no problem. i can't put my BA into standby mode. if i press the power button while the BA is turned on, nothing will happen. the screen will stay on, the background light stays on.
i have no way to put it into stand-by with the power button!
try this and see if it works. it's a software app that wil rest, shut down, and turn the screen off. just copy it to your BA temp directory and install it.

power button problem
Does anyone solve the problem???
Had the same problem...
I had the same problem going on for about two weeks or so...never changed anything and it went away all by itself.
The problem has not come back now in over 4 months.
Sure would love to know what the problem was tho...

Power Off does not work
Add my name to people with this problem.
The only event I can link it to is this: I deleted my Motorola Bluetooth headset and installed a Logitech headset. I noticed the problem (can't turn OFF with POWER BUTTON) soon after that.
same problem for me ..... someone must know !!!!
I think it is a hardware problem. The contact is not making cleanly. Disassemble and spray time, perhaps.
It's a standard push switch, easy enough to replace, I occasionally list themon ebay but any phone repairier should have them in stock.

i had same problem yesterday afternoon, but it is ok now. recovered by himself
Write again in two weeks and let us know if it is still healthy. In my case, anintermittent problem became continuous.
Can't turn the screen on after pressing power button
I have a problem with my Bell Atrix. After pressing power button to lock the screen, i can't wake up the screen up by pressing that button again. Could anyone tell me how to fix it pls.
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!

I jus remove the battery and change the Sim Card.
The backup battery keeps it all in place until i get the main in.
As for the screen, there is no official "Shut down" unlike other PDA's, it just goes into a deep form of Hibernation.
thnx. i was thinking there was like a shutdown like in most celphones. this is my frst xda. thnx man!
i think its same with all BA.
i think someone should find its solution.
Turn all the radios off: like phone,wifi,bluetooth and activesync ect. basically everything in the comm manager.
Then press the off button, yes the LED blinks still but you only lose ~0-1% of the battery with 8 hours in this state.
Its as near as we can get to "off" but it will do
yeah...BA can't be turned off. It can only be put in deep hibernation since it does not have a hard drive.
ooops I did it again..sorry double post
Shutdown possible
A shutdown is possible of the BA in a particular situation :
Unlock the battery in the back of the BA while holding the battery for not to fall
Then lock it again : it remains shutdown.
Please note that this won't work if you have your BA plugged to your PC with USB cable. In that case, you have to keep the battery unlocked without locking it again, since locking it will turn it on.

Hi.
HTC Blue Angel won't go to standby (sleep) mode when i press the power button.
Here's what i've tried alredy:
- soft reset
- hard reset
- reformat
- reflash
The power button electricaly is working since i can wake the device and toggle backlight with it. The sleep mode is operational since the device automaticaly timeouts to the sleep mode (power management).
Now the most intriguing part: this has happen to TWO of my Blue Angels at the SAME TIME. One with WM2003 and the other with WM6.
The WM6 was my primary unit while the WM2003 was just lying in the drawer.
When the WM6 unit gone mad i took out the MW2003 one just to find out it has the same problem. While i did instaled some software on the MW6 one i haven't installed anything on the MW2003.
Any help apriciated. Thanks in advance.

when you say sleep mode you mean the screen goes to blank and the backlight turns off...right?
try pushing the button longer

Yes, the mode where PDA is turned off (apps are hibernated) but GSM radio is still on standing by for incoming calls/messages.

That's pointless. This device has backligh turned on/off that way, not the OS. When everything was ok, a short push was enought to trigger the "standby" function. (once again i remind that the button is electricaly ok)
Thanks for reply, waiting for ideas,
Bushman
MINE TOO
that happens to me too andthe keyboard smtyms hangs until you press the windows button
I have pressed each and every key on the device multiple times, nothing helps
I had the same problem.
The reason was one of the keys beside the display.
In older PPCs these buttons tend to get short-circuited.
My solution was to reassemble the BA and clean the buttons.
Thank you for the tip, i will clean the buttons and check connections to the mainboard and post results.
Thumbs up!
Bushman
EDIT:
Thanks for the tip!!! One is fixed. The other one still doesn't work like it should but now i have a clue where to search for it.

Hi all,
does anyone sometimes have to press the power button (when phone is completely turned off) twice (2 presses to turn on) sometimes?...
so just to confirm
- handset is off
- push power button once (sometimes doesnt come on
- push for second time (and powers up)
im defiantly pushing for long enough
iv have no issues with the button at all when in the UI or when locking/unlocking display
iv done a few tests where i have turned off. then went to switch on, with the same pressure and sometimes it starts with one, sometimes it starts with two presses,
do u think this is a fault? anyone experience this? normal?
just checking...
thanks heaps!
I had the opposite on my first one. When I pressed the power button to turn screen off, the screen went black for 1 sec and jumped back on lock screen.

I don't think many people would turn their phone completely off so haven't found the issue.
When you power off what will be happening is the phone is off as much as it can be, but these buttons are soft off, the battery is still connected and some power must be drawn to run the power circuitry to detect the button being pressed again to signal to power back up the phone, in the same way when you turn your TV off by the remote, power is still drawn to run the remote sensor on the TV.
To keep the drain on the battery as low as possible so the battery isn't completely discharged over months of storage I suspect the power chip waiting for the on signal again is only sampling every so often to save power so it can be in super deep sleep state. This means depending on where in this cycle you are when you press the power button it might seem like it isn't responding, so typically you have to leave it depressed long enough for it to be "seen".
The better option is to just to put your phone into flight mode if you don't want to be disturbed or want the phone off. I do this overnight and lose no battery power by the morning, so it is as good as off. You can add a button to your home screen to do this quickly, widgets are included already for that.

Mine does the same thing.. Sometimes it does it with waking up from sleep also.
