Hi all,
I'd like to use pocket msn messenger on my XDAIIs over my wifi connection, but for obvious reasons i don't want the screen to be on if i'm just idling and not chatting to anyone.. is there any way of getting the screen to sleep (like you can when playing music with PocketPlayer or Pocket Music) but keep the wifi connection alive ?
At the moment i have to turn off the auto sleep feature of the device and keep everything turned on to keep the wifi from going off when the device sleeps.
Cheers
Neil
use SPB Pocket Plus it has the toggle acreen button, u can do it at today by click on "Add/Remove Items..." > select "System" category > check "Screen Toggle". after that u can click on it and the screen go off but the process still ON "like Media Player or Camer"
laters 8)
Nice one
Cheers mate, I hadn't ever noticed that because i always turn off the today plugin of Pocket Plus :roll:
Thanks
Neil

Using WM6 Pocket Outlook with our Exchange Server. I want my phone to alert me when I get a new email, but not alert me at night.
Pocket Outlook + Exchange lets you specify how often to check for messages normally and during peak hours. I've set the peak hours to daytime and set it to only manually check off hours.
Aside from that or turning off my phone, any suggestions?
I believe you can configure different alerts using PhoneAlarm, but I'm not 100% sure.
Phone alarm works and so does SPB Mobile Suite. I use mobile suite for some of the other features, but it allows me to create profiles, accessible from the today screen, that control all sounds from the device.
I work nights and sleep during the day, so I have one profile called Bed that keeps the ring volume at 80%, implements a whitelist (meaning only peoples numbers on the list will cause the phone to ring), and turns off email,sms and MMS notifications. Then, when I get up, I just click my profile Icon on the Today screen and select another profile, which again can change all notifications etc. You can also have it turn on or off wifi, bluetooth, phone, etc, when a profile changes. An awesome app. Note: PhoneAlarm does all of this and more, so download the trials and see which one works best for you.
Check it out here.
SPB Phone suite:

Phone Alarm:

I bet you will end up with one of these, they are awesome.
Just remembered that I think, Phonealarm didn't allow the whitelist/blacklist feature that I wanted and that was my final reason for picking SPB phonesuite.
Hope this helps

To everyone using TomTom not just in your car !
Is it possible to stop the auto minimize of TomTom's windows when you turn OFF then back ON your PPC screen ?
I know I can revert back to TomTom from the tray icon, BUT it is very annoying and boring to do that ! When you use your PPC outside your car, you often want to check just for a few second your PPC to check that you are on the right direction ! you do NOT want to have your PPC always ON !
And you must also consider a power limitation, when you are on foot, you do not have a car battery next to you to power up your PPC, so it is essential to be able to turn ON/OFF your PPC screen to save battery life.
-> but TomTom's window always disappear in that process, how to avoid this !
Good question. I'd also like to know this. Sometimes I get on a 30 mile straight or stuck in traffic, so could do with turning the screen off to save energy
I'm afraid this isn't a solution, but a quick workaround would be to set one of your ftouchflo gestures to tomtom. Then you could maximise it with a simple sweep.

Yes, a workaround, I have tested it but surprisingly it TomTom does not come back immediately like any other program when they are minimized !
It takes about 2s to comes back.
That's annoying when you are on foot and you just want to turn on the screen to check if the direction is ok.
Maybe if I remove go to tray icon of TomTom, it will no longer minimize after every switch OFF/ON of the screen.
Does anyone know how to stop TomTom tray icon feature ?
Slightly off-topic
Any way to stop ActiveSync when TomTom is launch?! Minimize I can live with, but ActiveSync is more annoying.
Has someone an idea, what causes Tomtom to minimize every time you turn OFF/ON the screen display ?
I would like to do a skschema script to fix this. But I need to investigate what causes this minimization ?
bump
I too am trying to find out if its possible to prevent tomtom minimizing and stay running when the backlight is turned off. Other GPS programs i use stay running and dont minimise as well as other programs in general so i am assuming its some kind of power saving function of tomtom. Im assuming it changes something or monitors something to auto minimize itself when it sees the backlight go off.
Hallo, i,m new here and i hope my message will go ahead.
So far I made following observance.
Today i nstalled a new beta version of mortPlayer V3.31 b75.
After i had installed mortplayer and it is running then TomTom does not minimise. after deactivating my HTC 7500; WM6 Tomtom 7
Perhaps it will show equal behavior on other systems
Good luck
nope, still minimizes and stops using GPS when screen goes off even with this version of mort installed. Maybe share the settings so i can see if how you have it set works for me.
Tomtom minimising
even on my Dell x51v TomTom does not minimise when I turn off for a sleap,If you mean the GPS mode shouldn´t be turned off while sleaping , so am I not sure wether it is possible,and even if it is ,it would drain battery .
What i mean is, i want TOMTOM to stay running while the device has the screen turned off. This way it will save battery life as i cant look at the screen while im on the motorbike.
Same Here
I also would like TomTom to behave like other application.
Because it goes to the tray:
- you have to try to hit that small icon in the tray with your finger, or pull out the stylus
- you can not use that Alt-Tab, to switch away and back
- it does not show up in task manager
- if you assign a button to it, it take a few seccond to show up (but it's instant when you hit the tray icon)
- waste Today screen space...
So like the others, I would appreciate help on changing that behavior.
Thanks in advance
Hey all.
Is there a free sport tracking GPS software as good as Nokia Sport Tracker? Need for running.
Thanks
sportypal is good and free!
sportyfy is good .. but om mine HD2 its stops after a couple min.
I've just started trying navmi, which seems good. Not tried anything else yet, but will give sportypal a go at some point as well for comparison.

sportypal is user friendly, what is your problem with this prog
I am also using SportyPal and I'm completely pleased with it.
Combine the Prog with the "Keep Awake" Application to prevent standby and all will work fine.
Without "KeepAwake" the GPS Signal gets lost after standby is active.
I use RunGPS (http://www.rungps.net/wiki/DownloadsEN). Not free, but there are ways and you can trial it for 14 days. You can change the sport type, I have used it for running, cycling and snowboarding and it outputs to excel, pdf, and also to google earth KMZ files.

ok i wil try this
Please can you tell me what is the app "keep awake"? Where can i download it?
Now I use RunGPS (fee), but before I used SportyPal, and is very good too. I recommend it
I test RUN.GPS too, but want to try sportypal also. Maybe i will go running this evening and test sportypal.
But in sportypal there is no "STOP"-Button on screen while i´m running, is this right? How can i stop counting when i got finished? Do i have to press the "End" Button (because there is another question ... do you realy want to end...)? I don´t want to press two buttons when i go through finish - so i can not measure my time exactly.
I've been using endomondo and sportypal, both very much the same, found endomondo to be slightly better
Can i get *.gpx file or similar from endomondo or sportypal?
I don´t know how to get this files - i only was able to upload the data to their website - but not to get the file for myself.

You can download any track you want from SPortypal.com, just go on the workout you want to have, and on the right bellow the stats click on the "Export GPX"
I tried KeepAwake - but still GPS not logging anymore if i got to standby on my hd2 with hardware-button. KeepAwake was active - (showing in green - app detected). I entered: Run.GPS.TrainerUV.exe
If i lock the screen with the little yellow symbol in run.gps itself, then logging is not broken.
But it´s not usable to press the little icon while jogging - so i have to press the hardware-button.
Any idea?

KeepAwake won't prevent you from going into standby/sleep when you press the button manually, it will just prevent standby when certain applications are running but you're not using the phone (when the phone would automatically go into standby due to idle).

I haven't tried RunGPS, but I currently use NavMi, which has has an option to turn off (blank) the screen. This is a handy big button that is easy to press (though I normally start logging and blank the screen just before I start running in any case). This combined with setting the lock so it locks on 'wake up' works well for me (though I use S2U2 as my lockscreen, which has further options) - you can also press the Start Menu and lock from there.
(NavMi also makes sure the phone doesn't go into standby, so it keeps GPS working and logging without having to use something like KeepAwake.)
I think Run.GPS is working without KeepAwake, it will hold the phone awake itself.
Problem is the power-button of the HD2: If i blank the screen and put my phone into the armholder, all works fine. If i accidently press power-button, phone will wake up and screen is locked - so no problem till here. But if i then press power-button second time, phone will go into standby and gps-fix will get lost.
Power-Button of HD2 is really bull****, because it is higher than surface and you can press it accidently, while phone is in a pocket or armholder...
Change this with your registery
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Resuming]
"gps0:"=dword:00000001
"gpd0:"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Unattended]
"gps0:"=dword:00000001
"gpd0:"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend]
"gps0:"=dword:00000001
"gpd0:"=dword:00000001
Normmaly the numbers are on 4 put this on one and gps should stay awake even when you put the phone in stanby.
It will stay on until a program stop using the gps.
Hi,
As the title says, when using TomTom the phone goes to sleep when an email arrives.
I'm already using TomTomStarter which should kill the notifications of email/sms/mms/calendar, and it does but just not for email.
When I get the phone out of standby, I see the home screen and TT is still running in the background.
Now for the (really) strange part, when I resume the TT session and another email gets in, the phone DOESN'T go to sleep...
I also use iGo8 where I haven't noticed this behaviour.
Any suggestions?
Phone: HTC Touch 3G, winmo 6.1
Other software:
- S2U2 (already switched it off, sleep still occurs)
- PhoneAlarm
- TT 7.910
Thanks!!!
I have just received my SP3 i7 a few weeks ago and I'm loving it so far. Not to mention some issues, for example over heating and noisy fan.
However, I would love to listen to music or download some torrent files while the screen turn off in order to save some juice. Unfortunately, I could not do that because SP3 tend to stay in sleep mode when the screen turn off.
I remember that I found some information in this forum about the software that help SP3 stays awake while the screen turn off but I could not find it now...
I also tried to use second screen only to prevent SP3 to go to sleep but SP3 screen just popped up and mentioned that they could not stream to the second screen after a couple minute. Thus, this way is not work for me.
Anyone know how to solve this problem? I would appreciated all the answer I could get.
Cheers,
You have two choice. First is to use metro mode app to play. It can run with connected standby. The other choice is to use Always-on mode.

By metro mode app, I mean Music app (for W8.1) or Groove Music (for W10). It come with Windows so you don't have to download it.

Oh okay, lol thank you for the clarification.
Using Surface in Background.
You can use Surface Pro 3 in Tablet Mode to listen to music while the screen is off.
You can change the time limit got surface to go sleeping in the Battery Menu under Advanced Options to keep downloading torrents in background.
Hope it helps.
