How to power off sx-66

I have the Siemens sx-66 pocket pc phone and it really got annoying having to wait 1 minute for the device to go into standby mode. Because my power button no longer powers the device off. So i googled and searched around until i found this freeware program http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/psshutxp.shtml It is a utility that when once installed, can be used to power down, reset, or turn off the backlight. With an interphase similar to the windows xp power-down prompt.
This i found to be much better than waiting a full minute for the device to power down.
I mapped the program to my calendar button since i never use calendar anyway, and when the program pops up, i tap "Turn Off" and it instantly puts the device into standby.
This doesn't fix the Hardware power button malfunction, But it sure beats waitin' around wasting precious battery.

Hi
I'd recommend hard resetting your PDA and starting all over again.
I'm 99% sure that your device will go to standby correctly after cleaning it up (hard reset).
Remember to backup your data.

already tried hard resetting. Once accidently (let my sister play with it until the battery was COMPLETELY dead). and 2 more times intentionally from reccomendations (after making back-ups of course). Still had the same problem afterwards. I'm happy with the program.
p.s. Best part is it's free!

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 

Talk and End Call buttons

hi there. i got a big problem with my phone. ive searched but i couldn find anything.
ok when i press the call button instead of starting the Phone it opens Contacts and Calendar
and when i press the end button opens Calendar.
i dont know what the hell happen. i just froze yesterday and i softreset it (usual stuff) and after that it just happen.

You probably tryied already to softrest it again.
Did you install any new software?
Have you checked the button assignment on options?
If all fails, hardreset :/

How do I get out of the tricolour screen, please?

My Touch Pro 2 kept reverting to the TouchFlo home screen within a couple of seconds of opening other applications (eg. click on a new email, and a second later it goes to TouchFlo. Soft resets didn't make any difference: nor did disabling TouchFlo (from the Settings/Today/Items menu) - it then just reverted to the Windows home screen instead. So I tried to hard reset the machine. I read that the way to do it is to hold send+end+power, but that didn't do anything. Some posts suggested that volume down+reset was the way to do it, so I tried that. I've now got a tricolour screen, which starts:
RHOD100 32M MI-BC
SPL-0.84.0000
A bit more searching suggests that this is the bootloader (?) screen that comes up when you want to flash a ROM, and I feel dangerously close to doing something expensive and irreversible. Any suggestions as to how to get out of this screen? Nothing obvious when I search the forums here. I was thinking of just taking out the battery. And any thoughts on how to hard reset - or how to stop deal with the original problem?
Thanks

You ain't going to mess anything up. You can flash a new rom from there though but there is no way to do it by accident. Don't you hard reset by holding down the green and red call buttons and soft reseting? I remember it being different from the Touch Pro 1.

you might head over to the rom section, read up on the "flashing your phone for the first time" thread. Answer is most likely in there.

Thanks for coming back so quickly guys. The ROM flashing thread didn't explain how to get out of the tricolour screen. Meanwhile I just took out the battery and that did the trick. I still couldn't hard reset using the send+end+power buttons as instructed here and in the manual. I was able to get to the Settings/System/Clear Storage menu and was eventually able to keep it open for long enough to enter "1234". That hasn't dealt with the original problem, though - switching back to TouchFlo after a couple of seconds in each application. It's also beeping incessantly. Any ideas?

It sounds like your device is registering a phantom End key press every couple of seconds. That would explain it popping you out to the home screen and the beeping. If your End key is indeed acting weird, that would also explain why you can't hard reset using the power+send+end key combination.
You should send it in for warranty replacement...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That makes a lot of sense, thanks. Now that you mention it I realise that it's the same kind of beep and the same result as the End key.
I've only had it for 2 months. I'll get on to HTC.

Few issues

My first issue is that my keyboard stops functioning when i type. i have to go to the menu and reactivate the QWERTY. the QWERTY is already bubbled i just have to pick it again. Its weird my girlfriends phone has the same problem.
also sometimes when i create a new text my phone turns off i have to take out the battery for it to turn on again.
any solutions?
also it randomly switches to another app that i didnt even open... and it loads super slow any ideas?

Hard Reset!
Try to hard reset your phone...although you did not write what ROM you are using?!
I am using stock 6.5 and have never had any problems whatsoever.

my phone is completely stock. what do you mean by hard reset? the reset button under the battery cover? wont that reset everything and delete everything?

The reset button under the battery cover is just for a soft reset (like restarting your computer, it turns off and then turns back on by itself) and you don't loose any information. To hard reset, you need to turn the phone off then hit the call button, end button, and the power button all at the same time. This will erase everything an put it back to the out-of-the-box state. Your user manual will probably better explain since mine is from recent memory.

any other ideas why this might be happening?
