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
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,

So, I need to know which Kernel or app or anything I need to take my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 - STOCK - but rooted and make the knock knock feature work like the LG phones have. Installing this in the dash and since there is no front button, turning this on my be a pain in the rear...
Actually, I may have answered my own problem... I am installing this tablet in a custom mount and using it for my car as the main source of audio/video/nav. Since there is no home button, I originally wanted the knock knock wake function, but in researching this it seems that it works on certain kernels (that are not compatible with this device) and it also drains the heck out of the battery... So let me run this by everyone who may have input and see if it makes sense. To me, it does, but I may be underthinking the solution...
The OTG connector will be home to a hub that has one input (for power) and two outputs (for expansion). I am going to have the USB power input hooked up to the USB power in my center console, which only has power when ignition is ON. So, my thought is this. The tablet will not have power when ignition is off, but when you key on the USB will have power and thus will charge the tablet. On charge, it should WAKE, yes? The dev option for STAY AWAKE will be used to, when charging, always stay on... then the 1 minute time out option will turn the screen off shortly after ignition is off.
Make sense? Should work?
I am looking at buying a 7" pure android 4.4.2 stereo navigation unit for my car. The only real drawback I can tell is that the unit will completely shut down when I turn the key off. It does have an unswitched power wire and a switched power wire. My initial assumption was that the unit would not shut down when the key is turned off, but go into standby like my phone died when i press power button. But the vendor says it will shut down and take over a minute to boot up when I start the car.
I just found an app called Autosleeper Auto Power On-Off. It will bring the phone out of standby when I connect power to it and put it into standby when I disconnect power. Will something like that work on the android stereos?
Does anyone have any experience with the units with the two power wires and can give me some insight?
Thanks

Hey everyone
So I recently had to change the ECU on my car and I added some gauges to help with af ratio and temp. A friend helped me install them.
When I turn my car on. My Android radio boots normally. When I turn the car off it used to go to sleep until it's timer went off and it would completely shut down. Now when I turn the car off it completely turns off. No sleep no **** down it just shuts down.
What can I do to fix this I bought a pumpkin Android radio thinking the radio went bad and it does the same thing except if I put the car in the position before turning the car on. It will safe shutdown.
Please help
Thank you in advance
