Hi,
I'm having the following problem with my HTC TP2
When I get into my car, my Sim is connected to the car through rsap.
All this works fine. But when I leave my car. The phone doesn't reconnect the Sim. Unless I push the power button of the phone right before I leave the car.
I did some testing myself and this is what I think is happening.
After a while of inactivity, the phone gets into standby mode.
(one of the energy options)
And apparently when it is in standby, The phone doesn't receive the "signal" coming from my car ,when I turn the engine off, that says: "Hey, I'm sending the Sim back to you Mr Phone, you can reconnect it now."
As you can imagine this is quite annoying because, every time I leave my car, I need to push the power button on the phone so it can receive this "reconnect-signal"
Also, turning the automatic standby off isn't a real option because of the power consumption.
So what I think I need (unless you guys have some better ideas.) is a program that turns my screen off after x time of inactivity.
(not only the backlight but the entire screen)
I don't know if anyone has experienced the same problem or can give me a solution.
Thx,

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 have WM6, but i have noticed, i can't power off the Jasjar unless i pull the battery.
If i hold the power button it turns the screen off but the unit is still on, have downloaded psShutXP and this does the same.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something, when flying you can't have the unit on, even if flight mode is activated.
Checked and searched everywhere for software etc to try resolve this but no luck!!!
Can anybody help please
Tks
yes and no
Hi there,
You correctly turn of the screen with the powerbutton. Thing is, you do not want to power it down. Because powering the unit down might cause loss of data (when you turn it on you will get a blank device). The rom is powered by the battery.
So, flightmode is sufficient for flying an airplane. All you need to proove is that all receivers and transmitters are turned off. (phone, bt, wlan).
Should you really need to power it off anyway, i´ve found no other way but to remove and reinsert the battery.
good luck

pressing the power button briefly, turns the phone onto standby mode.
pressing and holding the power button, turns off the display backlight only.
setting the phone on Flight mode, shuts off all radio activity, and is sufficient for inflight usage.
there really is no good reason why you'd wanna switch off the phone completely, but if you insist, then as you expected.. pulling the battery out is the only way for now.
i wouldn't do it anyway, as it might lead to data corruption and other issues (kinda like if you pull the battery out of your laptop while it's on standby/power saving)
You cannot completely turn off the device.. it is part of the design.
What you want to do is not a good idea. No developer even bothered figuring out how to do it, due to the mentioned side effects of losing data.. hence there is no app that can do that.
maybe when time comes, developers may come up with a hibernate mode -- saving data into the sd card

With devices like the Universal (and most other WM5 & WM6 devices), pulling the battery won't cause you to lose data - it just acts as a soft-reset. (Although older devices, eg the Alpine, if the backup battery died as well then you'd have a hard reset)
If you are going on a flight just set it in flight mode, and turn off the volume, then put it in its "off" mode (ie hit power). This should be enough for most airlines. If you are really worried, then just close all the programs running and drop the battery
Well, didn't expected a huge response.
Thank you all for your feedback and info. I had a Jamin before and you could turn that off with no data loss, therefore thought the Jasjar could do it as well.
I just thought it was my unit since i loaded WM6 onto it, but it iseems to be the norm.
Will live with that, bit annoying having to pull the battery thou to turn the device off.
Thanks
Hey fellas..
Whenever I sync any bluetooth device to my phone, it periodically turns on my display on my Samsung Omnia (it turns off normally on its own). As soon as I turn off the bluetooth device or disconnect with it, then my display stays off. My bluetooth stays enabled during all this testing FYI.
Has anybody ran into this issue before?
Thanks in advance
why would that be an issue?

I have my bluetooth headset on and my screen keeps turning on every few minutes. Its any bluetooth device being linked to my phone.
Bumping my question back to Page 1.
you mean... it lights up every now and again while a bluetooth device is connected? or only while connecting to the device?
With my bluetooth headset connected the screen turns on every few minutes and it appears that the time inbetween the screen turning on is identical. I think the headset is just checking with the phone to keep connected, which turns the screen on.
When I synced via bluetooth to my desktop, the screen turns on whenever I do anything over bluetooth between the computer and the phone.
Is there any registery settings that I might try to prevent bluetooth from turning my screen on? ever?
Same thing here mate. Only my Touch Pro turns on the display (and keeps it on no matter what) whenever some BT accesory is connected, whether it be the carkit or the headphones. Pressing the power button causes the screen to turn off only to turn on by itself a second later. When BT accessory is disconnected everything works normal. Oh and I have bluetooth on all the time on the phone (never turn it off), but it only does this with smth connected. I suppose it's some kind of keepalive, but it annoys the hell outta me cause I can't listen to music w/o draining my battery and even starting some programs by accidental screen presses. So if anyone has a solution to keep the screen off it'd be more than welcome.
My friend recently gave me an HTC Dash for T-Mobile. It's running WM6.1 Kavana's ROM 1.33.424.2. After he gave it to me I unlocked for AT&T completely, 100% legally. I called T-Mobile and they gave me the unlock code.
But since I've been using it it will randomly turn off. It seems to shut off more often using MMS or anything through the Internet, but it will also turn off just sitting in my pocket or while texting. Luckily it hasn't ever crashed during a call.
When I try to turn it back on it will either shut down before fully turning on (it will show the boot screen but turn off), it will turn on but say the battery is dangerously low and it needs to be shut down, or one time it had an error message saying "The device could not be started due to sudden loss of power. Click YES to continue or NO to shut down. Please be sure the device is completely shut down before removing the battery." If you click YES it shuts down. If you click NO the screen turns white then tries to start up a few seconds later and fails.
The way I stop this is plug it in to a charger and turn it on so it can't die. It says the battery is low but since its plugged in it won't turn off. Then once it turns on I turn it off normally by tapping the power button and selecting Power Off. Then I take out the battery, put the battery back in, turn the phone on, and then the battery is back to the power level it was before the crash and the phone works fine again. But any texts or calls I had made in the past few minutes are erased as if they hadn't been made, sent, or received.
I've already tried a few hard resets and it doesn't seem to work. I even downgraded to WM6. I just want to know if this is a software problem, a battery problem, a hardware problem, or something else. Thank you to anyone that can help.
Welcome to the forum
I assume that your battery is working ok right?
Try with a hard reset

Good luck,
I've tried the hard reset a few times, I don't know whats wrong.
Hi. I've had this annoying issue as long as I've owned by 2S. I usually use the phone on speaker phone. On both incoming and outgoing calls in probably 50% of the calls I make, after around 1 minute, the caller can no longer hear me and I can no longer hear them. I have figured out if I press the 'hold' icon to turn hold on then off again, audio works again but at the time the call goes silent, 'hold' is definitely showing as off. Really can't figure out what is going on. Anyone else had this or know of a remedy? Thanks if you can help me out.
Most probably you pressed the hold button with your cheek while talking. I am not joking. The proximity sensor is... peculiar on this phone. Eventually the screen turns on during the conversation even if the phone is close to the ear.
Make a test: just after answering the incoming call (green button), switch off the screen with the power button. Unless you receive a notification, the screen will not turn on.
Hi guildamx. Thanks a lot for your input. I had read about the strange proximity sensor issue but don't think this is directly the cause in my case. Most of the time at home, I use the phone on speaker (placed on desk in front of me with no proximity sensor being activated) and am sure that the screen is never touched during the call as it is hands-free on my desk. I have done some more experimenting this morning and on multiple tests, the audio works fine when the screen in on (at the start of a call) but after screen timeout (I have mine set to 1 minute), the audio in and out is blocked. Switching the screen back on doesn't rectify, only putting on hold then off hold. Oddly, if I use the phone without speakerphone (held to ear), the proximity sensor kicks in and turns off the screen as expected, the blocked audio issue doesn't occur. It only occurs when the screen times out the screen. Very strange.
Apparently when the phone goes into deep sleep the audio is somehow killed. Very strange and never happened to me.
I would suggest testing a different rom. Definitely it seems software related.
Sorry for not being able to provide further help.
