Hello
How does ont turn off the XDA EXEC, i dont see any off button. the power button just turns the screen backlight on and off.
the reason why i wanted to know what it was is because i am porting my number across networks, and 02 told me to turn off my phone a number of times during the day, so that it could go into a boot up process.
There is no real way to trurn the device off, but what they will be wanting you to do is disable the phone section (do this by turning on flight mode, or by clicking on the green connections manager in the bottom and click on the phone button. Click the phone button again to turn it on.)
Start -> Programs - Wireless Manager -> All Off (This switches of the phone.
Then use the phone on/off button at the top of the screen there, to switch it back on and force your SIM to re-register with the network, which should have the desired effect your after.
Taking out the battery is the only real 'off' button.
thanks for the replies dudes
did you try holding the power button as well? that works on my wizard
not sure if it's true for all wm5 though
i held the power down button for some time and it blanked teh screen. when i held the power button again for a few seconds the screen came back to life, but this time there is no "back light(?)"
how do i get back the "back light(?)"

There remains a bug, it seems, that sometimes prevents the backlight from firing up when starting the device.
It used to happen on my XDA2i and still happens on my Exec.
I usually have to get it in a good light and go to settings and move the brightness slider to get it working.
Turning off the device, I find, is actually achieved by pressing the power switch before closing lid.
I find I get much more out of each charge if I do this rather than just close the lid.
That of course turns of the PDA functionality of the device. The radio (phone) service is still disabled via Flight Mode.
:wink:
somehow i double posted...sry
thanks for the reply
i guess by pressing the power button, the pda goes ito some sort of sleep mode, since it does not boot up later, correct?
when it is charging up using a usb cable connected to my pc, the backlight is turned of, and no amount of pressing buttons seems to turn on the backlight, is that correct?
i checked out the brightness level sliders, there are 2, the
1. on battery which is somewhere in between
2. on power which is "slided" to the left, is that its correct position?
you will probably find it will selfboot at midnight.. this appears to have been intentional in the design of all the XDA's.
Thia can be a nuisance but it is probably to do with reseting timers. alarms etc
The backlight is configured to be on/off during external power and on battery in which ever setup you choose.
The actual levels you set it at are your choice ..
I set mine to be off after 5 mins on external power i.e. when charging except when i use tomtom and want it to stay on whilst externally powered.
On these occasions I change the setting before the journey
Your original question with reference to O2 making changes that required you phone to be off, in my experience, means not having the O2 sim in the device.
thanks for the reply dude
i think my questions have exceeded the remit of this thread. i will start another thread for the backlight questions
Hello
Is there a possibility to completely shutdown the qtek s100 (Magician) so that it does not consume any more power? If i press the power button, the screen goes black, but it can receive calls, the led blinks and if a press the button again, it is back on instantly.
This is very nice, but there are times where I would like to shut it down completely. Pressing the power button long only turns off the backlight.
Thanks.
Edit: Sorry, posted in the wrong section, can somebody move it?
Try my app VJEschton, with the command line -sleep
V
turn the flight mode on. it turns off the phone but u can still use the PDA function. the battery lasts much longer this way
take off a battery cover and back. thats all
Hi guys, I find this quite annoying and wish there is a mod for this. I don't know about other HTC Touch Pro owners but i find my fone quite sensitive.........it's "EASILY" turned on but a single "SHORT" press of the power button.
I didn't even hold it for 1 second, if i suddenly press or tap on it really quick, for not even a second, it turns on.
In case ppl don't understand and tell me that maybe my fone was on in the first place but just have the backlight off, and with a single tap on the power button, the backlight goes back on again. I knew that already. But what the problem really is, is that it's totally off, and when i tap the power on button, it turns on, i.e it vibrates and shows the welcome screen and all that other startup animation.
Is there a way to increase the delay of the finger-press on the power button? Coz it's so annoying that it gets turned on when i don't want it to, especially since this fone's weakness is that it hogs battery even though i've already applied tons of tweaks etc to lower the performance and increase battery life......
Searched around for a few hours and I haven't been able to find a solution, so I'm turning to XDA as always.
I was using my phone earlier today, and like always, tried to "sleep" the phone by tapping the power button at the top of my phone. My screen stayed lit and for whatever reason it wouldn't sleep, so I'm trying to figure it out.
I can't deduce if it is a hardware issue or something weird with the software or ROM that I am using. I've never had this issue before, and I'm not sure how to diagnose/fix the issue.
Sliding the keyboard awakes the phone, and I am able to use the touchscreen and keyboard with full functionality, but I am not able to turn off/sleep the phone with the power button. Any and all possible help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much.
does the power button work?
does the phone drift off the sleep when you set it to sleep after 1 min of inactivity?
take out your battery put it in see if u can turn the phone on with the button if u cant its broken.
When I press power button to lock my phone it takes about 2-3 seconds for the screen to shut down. I turned auto brightness off but the problem is still there. Help me please
