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.

Hello,
I saw that the phone is switched off when I press the power button very quickly after a few seconds turns on. This for me is very annoying, if I have the phone in my pocket sometimes turns on probably because Touch inside the power button. It is possible to change to having to press for a few seconds and not for 1/10 second ?
it is not possible ?

Why is this a problem? The screen will auto switch off again in 15 seconds if still locked.
Becouse i want turn off the phone.
You want it totally switched off? Hold down the power button and a menu pops up on the screen, switch if off from there.
There is no way to stop the power button waking up the device when it is "standby", that's its purpose, I can't imagine anything more annoying than having to hold down the button just to check my phone
I don't see how you guys don't understand his question.
He says that it is annoying that when you turn the phone off (for X reason) and put it in your pocket, the fact that it only takes a slight touch of the power button to turn the phone on means it involuntarily turns itself on in his pocket. He wantsto know whether it is possible to make it so you have to press a long time on the power button in order to turn the power on, so that if the power buton is only pressed for a second, nothing happens.
I really wish people tried to actually read questions on forums.
This is an important question for all that travel by air.
to avoid that during the take off or the landing the desire turn on inadvertently
My problem was born in the cinema when I turned off the phone and put it in my pocket. After a few seconds I heard the sound of ignition, so I switched off again, then yet again ... up when I removed the sound, while other people looked at me in a mole ..
It would be nice if you could choose to press the button for 2-3 seconds before it turn on, to prevent accidental starting
Totally agree. I had the same issue on the plane the other day. I had powered it off but during take off it powered itself on in my pocket. I used to have an iPhone and it at least required you to hold the power button down for a few seconds before it turned on.

I really wish people took the time to actually read the reply and accept that sometimes when the OP is in broken english it is misses details, before jumping in to criticise others while contributing nothing of value to the thread.
If you reckoned it was easy to understand the question, why have you offered no actual answer or constructive advice?
If you assume that the question is... can I set the phone so that it requires a long-press of the power button to switch it on when it is completely powered off... the answer is... No, you can't. Perhaps there is scope for this in a modded firmware if you root the device. I suggest you email HTC support to suggest this an an enhancement in a future update to the phone.
Why don't you try this FlexiSheild Case Cover, I purchased one and it has a very robust construction flexible but not sloppy like the silicone ones.
I have found that to turn the phone on or from standby you have firmly press the on button you cannot turn it on by simply sweeping your finger over the button it also offers a lot of protection to the phone and has some rubbery coating on the back to stop the phone slipping out of your hand.
I believe this will elimenate your false switch on of the phone

Hello,
Loving my desire but this problem is really annoying,
Every time I take the phone out of my pocket it's slide the phone upwards so the call is being dismissed.
Any chance I can change that?
I'm running a rooted phone.
Thanks.
I agree on this, It's quite annoying.
I've seen some apps that change the lockscreen, but most of them consume memory and/or a lot of battery power. A free app would be preferred.
why isnt your screen off? when you go to put the desire in your pocket press the power button on the device quickly and it will turn your screen off and also lock it, there is no need to have the screen on whilst in your pocket is there? this is also power saving on your phone, hitting the power button again will then switch it to the lock screen once you have taken it out of your pocket.

This is when a call comes in. When a call comes on the phone wakes from sleep mode.
I turn my phone off a lot when I travel to save power. I've noticed that only doing a quick press turns the phone off from a cold state which is very annoying when i'm just trying to make sure my phone is off like I did in the WM days and currently do with my android device. I'm wondering if this is restricted to my device (HTC 7 Pro) or it affects all WP7 phones.
Does this annoy anyone else? I've written to HTC so if it annoys you too please complain so we can get this changed!
My Focus requires a long press (2+ seconds) to turn the phone on. It sounds like your problem may be HTC-specific, or something is wrong with your particular phone.
Thanks for the head's up, my complaint has been forwarded to the dev department of HTC so hopefully they fix it soon.
my arrive turns in with a short press I think, as well as my tp2 and other HTC phones I've had. doesnt really seem like a big issue to be concerned over. the accidental turn off issue was resolved in the mango beta and powering off really isn't necessary just a switch to airplane mode or enabling battery saver.
Unless I misread the OP, his concern isn't with accidentally turning off the phone, but accidentally turning it on, since it seems that accidentally bumping the power button on an HTC phone will turn it on.

and I've told him that it's not necessary to do that in wp7. I don't get people, first they were complaining about the power button being too hard to press now it's the other way around.
l find that if you wanna check your phone..rather than pressing the power button press the camera button. If its on it'll go to the camera app. If its off it'll stay off.
I have never complained about the power button being too hard, I just checked and my TP2 does this too which is annoying. It's really not a difficult thing to implement and I should be able to conserve as much battery as possible without having to resort to flight mode only.
For now I'll use the camera button idea (thanks!) however ironically enough I have to long press the camera button to see if it wakes up, go figure...
Q&A is that way.... ---->

My EVO is forever switching itself to silent mode without me doing it (that I am aware of). I never intentionally set it to that myself. It's either in full sound/vibrate mode or vibrate only. However, often while texting I'll sit my phone down, pick it up later, and see I have missed texts and the phone is in silent mode.
How does that keep happening? Is it something I'm doing while hitting the power button to shut the screen back off?
the volume keys can set the ringer to up, down, or on vibrate.

Right, but I have my volume maxed out all the time, and I know that during the process of sitting my phone down on the desk I'm not holding in the volume button and running it all the way down to nothing. Plus, I don't think you can alter the ringer volume with the volume keys while the screen is off, can you?
*ok I just figured it out*
What I must be doing is accidentally squeezing the volume up button as I grip the phone and press the power button to shut the screen off. That puts the phone in silent mode. Mystery solved!
Some (a lot) of ROMs, including stock, also have an option to silence/send to voicemail when the phone is placed face down, as well. Sometimes, it seems like these options can inadvertently be triggered by setting it down wrong, or even moving it around in your pocket. Just something I have noticed.

I forgot about that option. I always make sure my phone doesn't do that as I always have my hands in my pockets when I walk and almost always have my phone face down on my desk when not using it.
