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
so when i am on battery, i have the options to turn off the backlight after 10 seconds. but the darn thing wont turn off after 10 seconds.
it ends up turning off after a 1 minutes or, but yet i have 10seconds specifically chosen.
and sometimes my brightness goes way back up and the selection to 2minutes.
why can't it registered what i want? 10seconds is all i ask for lol
not the backlight

Update below
my security unlock screen method is "pattern", i went to setting -> security and uncheck "show the pattern" or "visible pattern" (or something like that. i was curious what is that setting about)
then i press the power button to put it into sleep mode, it turned off the screen, then now when i press the power button again to wake it up and nothing happens.
also last time i tried connecting it to pc it automatically woke up, but now i connect to pc nothing happens, on Computer there's nothing like "Asus transformer pad TF300" either. i don't even know is it turned off or not?
i assumed it was turned off so i tried pressed and hold the power button with no luck.
tried 3 times. battery was 67%. it was working ok before i changed the setting.
also yesterday when i got it i couldn't power it on because there was no power in the battery, i had to plugged it to charge and wait 2 hours then i was able to power it on. so is the battery empty right now? it shows 67%, or is this something related to the setting. i also have bad battery life.
now can't do anything, if i want to return it i can't even do a factory reset to erase my personal data.
UPDATE: i read someone's post hay says he usually have to press and hold the power button for 12 seconds for it to boot, so i tried that and it booted up. yes i said it booted up, which means it turned off when i pressed the power button to lock it. and the battery went down to 63% (from 67% i said above).
so what does this mean? why do i have to press and hold for 12 seconds, (normally 1.5 seconds)? and why did it turn off automatically? battery still drain about 1% every 5 minutes.
so far i have too much problems
