Hi,
As the title says, when using TomTom the phone goes to sleep when an email arrives.
I'm already using TomTomStarter which should kill the notifications of email/sms/mms/calendar, and it does but just not for email.
When I get the phone out of standby, I see the home screen and TT is still running in the background.
Now for the (really) strange part, when I resume the TT session and another email gets in, the phone DOESN'T go to sleep...
I also use iGo8 where I haven't noticed this behaviour.
Any suggestions?
Phone: HTC Touch 3G, winmo 6.1
Other software:
- S2U2 (already switched it off, sleep still occurs)
- PhoneAlarm
- TT 7.910
Thanks!!!

Hi Guys,
Using WM6, when I have a meeting scheduled, my Imate JAMin changes to vibrate mode for the duration of the meeting.
Is there a way I can disable this functionality?
I'm running SPBDiary (dunno if its that software, or base WM6 doing it, but I can't find an option in either to stop it).
Thanks for the help!
Further to this, using the HTC Today plugin, I have the "Normal" sound profile loaded, not the "Automatic" one. I would have assumed that the "Automatic" on would automatically change, but that the "Normal" one should not?
Yes, I am experiencing the same issue with the HTC 6-Tab Today plugin. I usually have my profile set to "Normal" but after awhile it switchesw randomly to "Vibrate" and assume that I am in a meeting. 90% of the time I am in an appointment. However, when I manually click back to "Normal" it would always switch back. The other 10% of the time I am not in an appointment and it would switch on its own. When I uninstall the Today plugin, it's fine. Problem is I like the Today plugin and would like "Normal" use of the phone and NOT have automatic switching, especially when I did not select "Auto." Is there a fix or a registry hack??
Hi everyone! My Artemis running WM6 turns on eveery time I get a call or SMS. I would like it if it didn't, because sometimes I want my phone tio stay silent, and having it on when I don't know it's on can be a huge drain on battery life. I'm assuming there's a simple option I'm missing. Thanks for your help.
Bump (Is this allowed on this forum?)
This is a bit of an annoyance. I like how you can instantly turn the phone on or off, and I would prefer to have to stop pulling out the battery during the school day and have the phone boot for a minute or so. Is there any way to make sure your phone stays asleep when it's asleep?
Get a profile software. Some are free. Set the connection (phone) to off during the time selected by you and I believe it will stay put, unless you have a service the forces the phone call/sms through regardless.
I have Spb Phone Suite, and I can choose to reject all calls, but I don't think it works with SMS. I also can't seem to get it to automatically activate while the phone is asleep.
I don't know Spb Phone Suite but I believe with any paid application like this or PhoneAlarm you can get a FlightMode that turns everything off for a specified time and a profile to turn things back on. Sorry I cannot be of more help. That's all I know.
To everyone using TomTom not just in your car !
Is it possible to stop the auto minimize of TomTom's windows when you turn OFF then back ON your PPC screen ?
I know I can revert back to TomTom from the tray icon, BUT it is very annoying and boring to do that ! When you use your PPC outside your car, you often want to check just for a few second your PPC to check that you are on the right direction ! you do NOT want to have your PPC always ON !
And you must also consider a power limitation, when you are on foot, you do not have a car battery next to you to power up your PPC, so it is essential to be able to turn ON/OFF your PPC screen to save battery life.
-> but TomTom's window always disappear in that process, how to avoid this !
Good question. I'd also like to know this. Sometimes I get on a 30 mile straight or stuck in traffic, so could do with turning the screen off to save energy
I'm afraid this isn't a solution, but a quick workaround would be to set one of your ftouchflo gestures to tomtom. Then you could maximise it with a simple sweep.

Yes, a workaround, I have tested it but surprisingly it TomTom does not come back immediately like any other program when they are minimized !
It takes about 2s to comes back.
That's annoying when you are on foot and you just want to turn on the screen to check if the direction is ok.
Maybe if I remove go to tray icon of TomTom, it will no longer minimize after every switch OFF/ON of the screen.
Does anyone know how to stop TomTom tray icon feature ?
Slightly off-topic
Any way to stop ActiveSync when TomTom is launch?! Minimize I can live with, but ActiveSync is more annoying.
Has someone an idea, what causes Tomtom to minimize every time you turn OFF/ON the screen display ?
I would like to do a skschema script to fix this. But I need to investigate what causes this minimization ?

I too am trying to find out if its possible to prevent tomtom minimizing and stay running when the backlight is turned off. Other GPS programs i use stay running and dont minimise as well as other programs in general so i am assuming its some kind of power saving function of tomtom. Im assuming it changes something or monitors something to auto minimize itself when it sees the backlight go off.
Hallo, i,m new here and i hope my message will go ahead.
So far I made following observance.
Today i nstalled a new beta version of mortPlayer V3.31 b75.
After i had installed mortplayer and it is running then TomTom does not minimise. after deactivating my HTC 7500; WM6 Tomtom 7
Perhaps it will show equal behavior on other systems
Good luck
nope, still minimizes and stops using GPS when screen goes off even with this version of mort installed. Maybe share the settings so i can see if how you have it set works for me.
Tomtom minimising
even on my Dell x51v TomTom does not minimise when I turn off for a sleap,If you mean the GPS mode shouldn´t be turned off while sleaping , so am I not sure wether it is possible,and even if it is ,it would drain battery .
What i mean is, i want TOMTOM to stay running while the device has the screen turned off. This way it will save battery life as i cant look at the screen while im on the motorbike.
Same Here
I also would like TomTom to behave like other application.
Because it goes to the tray:
- you have to try to hit that small icon in the tray with your finger, or pull out the stylus
- you can not use that Alt-Tab, to switch away and back
- it does not show up in task manager
- if you assign a button to it, it take a few seccond to show up (but it's instant when you hit the tray icon)
- waste Today screen space...
So like the others, I would appreciate help on changing that behavior.
Thanks in advance
Hello,
since a few days I'm testing the new Mobile Shell 3. My first impression is very well. But one thing causes problems.
While I had installed Mobile Shell 2.x I was using S2U2 to make my device switch off.
S2U2 settings -> device switches off 10 sec after background-light turned off
WM6 power-settings -> background-light turns off after 15 sec - device switch off is not activated.
Everything worked fine... Background-light turns off after 15 sec. Further 10 sec later device switches completely off...
Now I've upgrated Mobile Shell 2 to version 3 but I've absolutely nothing changed on any settings - and suddenly S2U2 doesn't switch off my device any more...
My PPC turns off background-light after 10 sec (everything ok) - but S2U2 seems not to be able to switch off the device completely. Display is still on and shown darkly. But Touchscreen has turned off (doesn't react on finger-tapping).
When I close Mobile Shell everything works fine again.
So it seems that MS3 is blocking the suspend mode of some programs.
I think with Nitrogen (Mp3-player) it was nearly the same. In this prog does exist a suspend button but by tapping it only background-light switches off...
Anybody an idea or made same experiences?
Thank you
flahn
why don't you just change it in your setting of the battery in WM? I have a Lg ks20 and i change it there so after 1( sec he turns of the light) and after 3 minutes he switches off my phone. I also have spb mobile shell 3.0 and there are bugs in it atm.
Just click on your battery and go to the advanced tab.
Hope this helps you a bit

Hello Switchke,
thanx for your answer.
My problem is a little bit complicated.
I'm using my KS20 in combination with the prog phoneAlarm. For me it's the only possibility to get the LED's of my KS20 turn on (if there is an new SMS for example) although it is in suspend-mode. Or do you know another way to make the LED's shine when device is turned off?
I got the same idea you described before. I changed the settings of power options in wm and deactivated s2u2. But it appeared a new problem.
If there is an unread SMS phoneAlarm is set to send every x seconds a signal for the LED to light it up. In older Mobile Shell 2.x or by turning off MS3 everything works fine - after 15 sec light turns off, after 1 min device switches off.
But by using MS3 the device every 10 sec after switching off turns on again (because of the signal of phoneAlarm I think). Problem only causes with MS3.
If I can't find a solution I will reinstall MS2 - the shining LED is very useful for me because I don't have to switch on device every time for looking after unread sms or new calls...
Hi all,
My father bought an HTC Touch Pro some time ago; I think it was in 2008, as he needed a good phone, with the organization capability that WM has to offer.
The phone is in MINT conditions, really. It still has the original screen protector and no scratches can be found on it. He uses it a lot, but always has it in the leather case, and in a small pocket, which sometimes results in lost calls, as no one can really hear it ring . The battery is always fully charged, and after some testing I think it is still in good conditions.
The problem that he started getting is that after I installed some programs like GPS Tomtom and AGEPhone for SIP calling that he never uses (hehe), he started noticing the battery was discharging faster and that it would not last even 1 day, when before it would last about 3-4 days.
I uninstalled the programs, and the problem persists. Brightness is on 50%, wifi and any internet connection is turned off. No programs running in background, unless it's active sync that sometimes turns on itself.
POSSIBLE CAUSE - We noticed is that he has a lot of reminders, so the phone is constantly waking up. The problem is that it does not go to sleep afterwards. The touch screen is locked, so when a reminder pops up, the screen stays turned on, even if the backlight is not on, and just drains the battery completely.
Is there anything we can do, so that it (the reminders of meetings, birthdays and other stuff) would not wake the device up, or if it did, the phone would go to sleep after some seconds, so that it would not overheat and drain the battery in 1 day?
It is a quite annoying having to constantly look at the phone, dismissing reminders and turning the screen off, so the battery can last a bit longer.
I need to solve this problem, but my father will not agree with a custom ROM flash. Maximum I can do with it is upgrade it through the HTC tool, but I am not sure if it is worth it.
Here are the information:
Version de ROM: 1.90.406.5 FRE
Date de ROM: 08/20/08
Version de radio: 1.02.25.19
Version de protocole: 52.33.25.17W
The device was bought in Luxemburg and has a French windows mobile 6.1 on it, and an AZERTY keyboard.
Please help me with this issue.
Get tBattery and check to see the current draw under stead, idle conditions. With the backlight at 5, it should draw about 110 mA (there may be some spiking). Use the log feature, say for 10 min @ a time, with power-save options unchecked so the screen doesn't dim and it doesn't go to sleep. If the drain is high (constantly above 200 mA, let's say), then get a good task manager (hint: new dotfred's 3.3) and start killing processes, and see if that helps. If not, then try stopping some of ther services.
Thanks Farmer Ted for the reply, but I think I found the cause of the problem. I don't know why but after it wakes up, because of an appointment, it will not turn the screen off, even after 10 minutes and I have the power management set 30 sec off if not being used.
As the screen is locked, the appointment will not be dismissed by accident or pressed so it just stays like that, until the battery is dead.
Is there a hidden option to make the phone go back to sleep, or to prevent it from waking up, just making the led blink, as when you get new SMS messages and the screen is off, or when you get a missed call?
If there was I think it would solve the problem completely.
Thank you all for your help.
yes the problem is the screen it drains it faster than a hobo with a bottle of wiskey,
what you have to do it click on batter icon and get into the battery menu select advanced and elect turn back light off if device is not used for and select 10 second, then turn off device if not used for and slected 1 minute (its reffering to the screen)
then i use a program called touch pro tweak (its cooked into all energy roms) and there is a setting to wake up on call or text or notification and disable it by wake up it refers to turing the screen on
I have a simmilar problem.. I discovered what causes it... When I install certian programs, it changes the power settings.. namely, the power off when not plugged in setting... So, check out those settings... I have had this happen 3 or 4 times in as many months... then I notice the same issues with my battery.. after I go change the settigns back (for the 100th time) it goes back to pastign 2-3 days for me... (instead of less than 1)
Hi people, sorry to bring up this topic again, but I see no point in creating a new one.
I would like to ask if any of you would recommend me a good French ROM (as it comes with AZERTY keyboard) for this device that has good battery life?
Is it possible that a cooked WM 6.5 would use less battery then stock WM 6.1?
I have another problem, is there a way to turn up the ringing volume of the phone, in order to hear it even if it is in a small bag? It's already on max, but my father complaints the ringing volume is too low and he can not hear it.
And last but not least, how much does this battery normally last? Wifi off, bluetooth off, calling about 15 min a day, some SMS and a lot of reminders.
It can not go a day, max two days without recharging. It is always turned off when he goes to sleep, because if not, he will wake up with a dead device.
