This is from the pm.dll (powermanager) of 2003se (also applicable for wm5?)
The dword value must be set in
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power
"SuspendToUnattendedMode"=dword:00000001
What is Unattended Mode? Does it prevent Alarms going off?
Is it a deep sleep mode?
Anybody with a clue?
I also found in my registry (dunno where it comes from after so much messing about) a strange value:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts
"BattStandbyPeriod"=dword:00000004
However I cannot find this in any of my rom files. Must be a leftover from
a test with HP power management I guess.
ps: alarms work so much better if
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts
"ACResumingSuspendTimeout"=dword:0000001E (30 secs)
"BattResumingSuspendTimeout"=dword:0000001E (30 secs)
or even 60 secs.
Cheers
Unattended: This is a confusing state in which the screen, the backlight, and the audio are off. I won't go into too many details, other than to say thatthis is a PocketPC-only state that is used by applications which need to do things without alerting... of the other states.

Thanks for the info vijay
I can't believe it!!!!
At last!!!
this little "SuspendToUnattendedMode" value is what I've been searching for all over the place for the last couple weeks! This one little edit solves a ton of problems with the buggy WM2003 and WM5 issues, (bluetooth, wifi, missing SDcard, pda freezing on 'off/standby' etc, etc). It's not perfect... it burns the battery like crazy, but at least it allows the pda to function somewhat normal without constant soft resets.
Thanks for sharing this. My device is finally working sufficiently.
Hi, is there a way to disable the power auto-scaling in X7510 via registry changes?
I tried Pocket Hack Master but don't quick like the slow down when I restart the machine and the extra space the icon occupies at the bottom which requires another utility to hide...
Thanks!
This does not answer your question, but I use XCPUScalar to always run my X7510 at 624. It has options of removing the speed monitor on the bottom bar and the option to show it on the top bar instead.
Hi cktlcmd - what settings do you recommend for the x7510. I've just downloaded XCPUScaler for the first time and note not a lot of help on their web-site. A search for Athena on their forum doesn't turn up much either.
Thanks

I don't use the auto scaling. I just constantly run mine at 624. I can increase it to 663 (the next speed following 624). Anything faster than that and it will freeze.
yup, on the same topic
people that complain about video being slow, blah blah blah, should try this hack as well.
since most of the time when people noticed that "Video LAG" is due to the speed change.
is just like earlier versions of AMD and Intel CPU on a Desktop with speed stepping, you also notice that choke, before it speeds up

Do you leave the % settings under the Advance tab just as they appear?

Under FILE Settings:
check MINIMIZE ON START

Under OPTIONS Settings:
check APPLY SCREEN FLICKER FILTER

Hey all,
Recently i've been having some problems with my emails coming through to my handset. I have the settings set to send/receive every 5 minutes.. but for some reason if my screen is turned off (phone on standby) no email comes through but when i turn my screen back on the emails come.
Has anyone else has this problem? I've never had this problem before it started out of no where...
Which software are you using as your email handler?
The original software that came with the phone.. I havn't installed anything on the phone its at its original state...

are you using wifi or data connections? If its wifi do you have wifi enabled during standby?
i am using data...like i said if my screen is turned on theres no problems at all but its just when the screen is off in stand by mode no emails will come through..
This is a huuuuge issue which stems from the dawn of WM6. To be honest, it works sporadically for me. A few hours of no email, then a whole group arrives at a time. Sometimes it wont check by itself all day. Other times it will go 1-2 days without missing a beat. This makes it really hard to determine if what I have been doing fixes it.
Here are links to threads I have dug up:

^This is not a good fix imo, as it forces your data connection to be awake 24/7, killing your battery.

^ I am using the outlook email scheduler. Not sure if its working, or placebo. It still doesnt stick to every 30 mins, sometimes an hour late heh. At least you can have day/night settings and weekend settings. Maybe not a perfect fix, but increases email checking options.

Thanks everyone for the help.
There has to be some kind of fix out there somewhere.. its unreliable
could try out the seven beta app
If I might make a suggestion...
Maybe you should edit the thread title to "No email in standby" as "Email..." doesn't really tell the story, more people will be likely to find it and post a solution
Problem solved with my Touch Pro
I also had this problem but I found the settings to change this. But you do need schaps advanced config 3 (and a regeditor) to make it happen. Now i always receive my email, it checks every 10 minutes, even in standby mode, with my own data connection.
With a registry editor go to:
HKLM - Comm - ConnMgr - Providers - [GUID] - Connections - [Connection Name] - Always On
and change this value from 0 to 1
(You can also change this setting with Schaps' Advanced Config under menu (right softkey) - More Settings - Connections.
Here you can select "Always On" for the type of data-connection that you use to receive your email)
The second thing is using advanced config and change the setting under power management:
- AC resuming from suspend timeout
- Battery resuming from suspend timeout
I have changed both to 60 seconds.
Now my touch pro is notifying me of new email, even in standby mode.
Good luck
^ by forcing the eternal data connection, are you not killing the battery? I think the phone should be able to connect, query, download emails, disconnect at set intervals while in standby. I think it is supposed to, but for some reason it doesn't do it reliably.
The way I have done it is to use SKSchema to watch for a data connection being connected and turn on the screen when this event happens. This wakes th ephone up and is able to download email. Then I use advance config to close inactive data connection after 10 seconds. As the phone is awake the data disconnects fine. As long as your phones screen is set not to power off quickly, mine is a minute it should be fine.
In the last day I got fed up with TF3D again and turned it off, email seems to check every 30 minutes. I'll let it go for a few days to make sure its not placebo effect.
Anybody here having this problem while manila disabled? Perhaps there is some obscure power saving setting running in the background of manila
Well i have no idea how to fix this problem.. i have played with my phone to try figure it out but nothing.
I will probably have to take rvjacobs advice and see if that works.
It looks like quite a few people are having this same problem.
Its weird.. If my phone is on standby no email comes through..but if its on standby and an SMS comes through, the screen doesnt wake but the email also comes through..
not sure whats happening there.
Mine does it with TF3D disabled also. Thats why I have to use SKSchema to turn the screen on when it detects an internet connection. This way, mail comes through fine and it also auto disconnects the data.
I can now confirm that the issue is still there, regardless of TF3D. Damn, I've tried everything, maybe this is a dead end... Maybe wm 6.5 will see a solution
Maybe it helps you to look for/change the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts]
"ACResumingSuspendTimeout"=dword:00000001
"BattResumingSuspendTimeout"=dword:00000001
If you've got these values in the registry, try to cange them to
"dword:0000001e"
It's the time in seconds the device keeps running (without turning on the display) when it's automaticly woke up from the suspend mode (i.e. to look for mails). And if the value is "1", the time might be to short for picking up your emails.
With the new value you set the time up to 30 seconds.
The key exists since WM2003 and most of roms had a higher value in the past. But in the last time more and more roms come with a value of 1. I think its because the manufacturers want to get a good standby time for the devices...
I hope it works for you and you won't have to wait for WM6.5
Thanks for that deroland! I did manage to find them in the reg but it just says "Value Data 1".. doesnt say anything like "dword:00000001"?
I am new to this whole thing so it may be a stupid mistake im making..

Then your value is like "dword:00000001". This is a hexdecimal dword key.
So your device has one second to look for new mails.
Try to change it to "1e" and I hope it will help you.

The only stupid thing is that there is no open support by the manufacturers of the devices and microsoft for windows mobile. They only want to make their money ignoring the problem we have by the stuff they sell.

This is a setting which can be changed in advanced config, under power. I have mine set to 90 seconds, to no avail. I think this is what is causing it to work sporadically, as opposed to not at all.
Hi,
my display switches off after 10 seconds, no matter what options I make in the power settings.
The bug only occurs in the battery mode. When the mobile is charging, the display remains enlighted.
Any ideas how to reset/edit the battery/display settings of the htc polaris without hard resetting the whole PPC? (I would like to avoid a hard-reset because I have a lot of software on it. And I think the problem will reoccur if I restore the data with an backup tool.)
Perhaps there is a file which can be edited manually in the operating system?
Thank you,
Christian
If you have much software installed, it might be the case that a product overrides
the settings in Windows Mobile and enforces its own powersettings.
Example: S2U2 can manage display on/off/darken settings on its own.
Maybe you have such application installed.
Still not working.
Thank you for your help.
But hats obviously not the solution. I uninstalled some apps and went through the setting of EVERY app that is running. No way to change anything.
Once again: Is there a system-file one can edit?
I have exactly the same issue with my Touch Cruise, its not related to power settings 'cos I've got backlight to switch off at 1 minute and off at 2 minutes on battery power. There are no applications running in the background.
I have an LG Optimus 7, its a great phone but the battery on it seriously sucks. I lowered the backlight, turned off bluetooth, wifi etc but I can barely get through the day of usage.
My phone is unlocked and I have access to the registry, I want to lower the backlight further beyond what the control panel will let me do. Does anyone know the registry key for the backlight?
I found:
HKEY_CURRENT\CONTROLPANEL\BACKLIGHT
The value is currently set to 1099958376
However before I change it I would like to know what the value represents so I don't mistakenly set the phone backlight to 0.
Thanks
"HKEY_CURRENT\CONTROLPANEL\BACKLIGHT" is a directory, not a value. You shouldn't edit it directly.
But anyway, don't bother with the registry. I've modified every single key that seemed minimally related to brightness, with no success. This seems to me like a driver/firmware issue. Although I would be happy to be proven wrong...
(And by the way, allow me to redirect you to this thread. It wouldn't hurt to complain about it... )
That is too bad
If anyone has an answer to this please help.
