Power setting dosn't work - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

My XDAiiS screen goes blank and drops the bt conection, (not very useful if your using your handsfree or getting directions from the TomTom navigator.). I have gone into the power setting and unchecked turn off device if not used on external power.
No effect

I assume it might be something with the registery, either try soft-resetting and see what happens, or just backup your needed things and do a hard one .

Xda2 could not be turned on after turning off for sometime

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.

Power Problem

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
Fatzzz
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!

Screen off when charging (either through usb or ac)

Since yesterday, my mda compact III turns the screen (and backlight) off when I connect the usb cable or the charger with power on them. As soon as I take the charger out, the screen turns on again. Also, after some minutes of leaving the cable connected, the screen and backlight turn on again, but as soon as I press a button or touch the screen, they turn off again.
The device stays on, because when you want to explore it through the windows explorer, you get to see all the files with no problem.
This is very annoying, as I have the device connected to my computer when I'm in the office.
What went wrong here? I haven't installed any programs yesterday, so that shouldn't be the problem.
I had this the other week, a hard reset sorted it out
Thanks for the reply, I did a hard reset and the problem was gone. Let's hope it stays that way.
Same problem after installing SPB pocket plus. Uncheck "Buttons" in the Options of pocket plus.
Same here. In just realized that in this case the settings for backlight changed and set to "zero". (You can turn it on again). Happend to me when I do a soft reset with cable connected.

I noticed the same thing with the Orbit. Sorted easy from the baclkight menu. Somehow maybe SBP Plus changed the setting maybe something else, but just re-ajust your slider "On external power:"

S200 SOS!!!

Hello,
Can someone help please, I’ve overclocked my Qtek S200 (Prophet) to such a speed that my phone is not capable to run on.
The difficulty is, before I have done this I foolishly “Registered” in start-up menu for the overclocking software to run at 288 MHz.
Now when restarting, the phone is reaching a point of Window Mobile and then it’s either stops dead or restarting it self constantly.
I can guess the solution but don't know how to do it I need somehow to stop Overclocking software to be used during a boot up.
Or maybe even a hard-reset. (I did that already but it’ freezes at the point where I can see 3colors on the screen and nothing further. Any suggestions please?
The easyest way is to perform a Hard Reset. Make sure you have the power button, the camera and the comm manager button pressed while reset ing the S200. The other way is to take a look at the startup folder and see if there's a program that is automaticaly launched on startup that changes the speed of the device. The only thing you have to do is delete that entry...
Hope it helps.
RE: SOS
I did try it to do hard reset the way you said, in the end this really helped.
I removed the battery and left it for about an hour. Then plugged my USB cable, done what you normally do on Hard Reset, by pressing Photo button on the side and Comm. Button and pushed the pen. When phone stopped at the point where I could see 3 colours, at the bottom USB text appeared. I re-install new ROM and magic! My phone is back from the dead 

External reset?

A little question:
I have a Avin Avant 2 with Malaysk rom.
On this model there is NO reset button and this model has touch controls. The worst design ever.
Now for the problem:
Sometimes when I start the ignition of my car from ACC (radio turned on) the battery gives a kind of hickup a d the starts. When that hiclup occurs the radio crashes to a blank screen. The timer for turning off does not work and the radio stays on this screen even with the car completely off. Now because there is no reset switch I have to open up the dashboard, disconnect the radio and reconnect it. A real pain in the a**.
Now for the question:
Is there a way to give an external reset? Via USB, SD or something. Touch buttons cannot reset the device. I tried every combination and hold time. I wish I could just insert an USB with some kind of script which resets the device. I'm thinking of putting a switch between the car battery and radion to turn it off but would like to see a more "invisible" solution.
Thank you for reading this tl;dr post
