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
I was changing the wallpaper and it gave me the "setting wallpaper" dialog, which lasted for a long time. I pressed home and the gallery stayed on the screen but with nothing in it, and I couldn't get out of it. The back button did nothing.
I force powered down and rebooted and now when it starts (rebooted several times) I get a black screen with the time, the unlock button and the bottom right panel showing the time, wifi and SD card status.
There is no touch response, no response to volume controls, if I hit the power button it turns off the screen and wont come back on. I can connect to USB and navigate the internal memory.
Anyone have any idea what to do? :/ Stock rom, nothing extraordinary on the device.
Hey,
I have problem with my Nexus 5
I don;t have idea what happend, but after enabling profiles in CM12.1 my phone have only black screen, bottom button, and top notification bar - can't do nothing on screen. Yes I had pattern unclock, smartlock on, and turned on profiles to automatically unlock my phone when connected to home wifi. Now everytime I hit power button - it's just black screen. Can someone help me to fix that without factory reset?
When I press the power button, tap power off, and then tap the "press to turn off'"circle in the middle of the screen, the turn off animation of the red dot going round the circle begins and the phone them vibrates at which point it should normally switch off, but the screen stays on and the animation continues - I have to pull the battery to get the phone to go off. It is as if an application is still running and not letting the phone switch off - but that is just my thoughts.
I have been trying to root the phone (people may have read my experiences in this forum), but haven't done anything else to it.
Any ideas folks? Be much appreciated. I do have a nandroid backup of stock.
Thanks in advance
My god the world needs to know this.
So below describes my last predicament. Basically was stuck at black screen on boot with system ui crash and had stupidly for no good reason blocked myself from getting adb
Phone was technically powered on and connected to my wifi.
logged into findmymobile.samsung.com and from there as the device was powered on and running but not usable i was able to find device and start a full wipe. With the wipe it got rid of the max power mode and uninstalled the system ui tuner allowing me to resetup the device like new.
Down side is as much as google handle 70% of a phone change over i still had to reset my watches and re do the fingerprints
So, galaxy S8+
Never been a fan of Samsung but a mate sold me his old s8+ for pretty cheap yesterday, today i installed system ui tuner and allowed it via adb, then as the battery was low i switched to "charge only" mode
Today i got a notification saying something about battery optimisation (Max Battery Saver Mode) and i was all about it so i clicked yes and whatever without reading it expecting it to clear catchs and kill some background apps. anyways a few seconds later it rebooted itself and popped up with the message "system ui stopped working". Literally the only things that can happen is when i click the bixby button it says "cannot use bixby while maximum power saving mode is on". and if i hold the power button i get the shutdown and reset icons but when clicking them nothing happens.
I have tried safe mode, still get the same result with ui stopped working
Pressing and holding the power + volume up + bixby button gets me to a screen with some info up to continue and down to cancel, once pressing up nothing happens apart from a screen saying downloading (nothing happens tho)
Not sure what to do
Thanks for the details.
