This JasJar I have Always have problem waking up after period of inactivity. If I had it powered off for too long, I cannot bring it back to life with any hardware button, except the reset. Usually I can still see the green light flashing indicating the phone in on and working. But I had also tried to call it, but it won't ring. As a PDA the problem wouldn't bother me too much, but as a Smartphone it mean I might have missed a few important calls
the only solution i have now is i go to settings, power, advanced and i disable the "turn off device if not use for" option
it works all the time with me but it eats the battery, specially if i am connecting my BT headset
Please if anyone has a solution let me know
thanks
i forgot to say that it happens even if i take the SIM card out of the device, so i do not think it is a SIM card issue
i do not have and SD cards
Any Help?
it happens randomly with no specific reason, but I tend to believe it's due to a third party s/w. If you made a hard reset and kept using the device with only the standard applications, the device will be very stable except the bluetooth issues.
The issue of the PPC power button, whatever a soft one or a hard one, has been consistently existed since I bought my first PPC with PPC2000. I am so disappointed that it is exactly the same case after some 6 years...
It is usually due to some imcompatibility between the system and some today-enhancing add-ons, which seem necessary for us but sometimes however causing problems like a deep snooze...
thanks for ur answers, actually i do not think it is related to 3rd party applications on today screen plugins, since i already had reflashed my device and i am running now with no applications installed, i am not sure what Phono can do for me i will try to contact them today and see if i can get a replacement or what?
yet any other ideas will be really appreciated
Same problem in my device can any one help me Please
Hey, I had this problem too...
The only way I stopped my PDA from freezing like this was to disable the auto power off feature in Settings/System/Power and keep the backlight turned on (but lower without it plugged in) Settings/System/Backlight.
This helps with other bits too, makes the delay in the unit from ringing less and connection time faster.

Did any experts here got a solution to this? I really don't know why it happened.. I am using MDA from T-Mobile..
still no solution !!
a small update here, i've noticed that this problem does not happen if i am connecting my universal to the power charger, it only happenes if it works on battery, maybe there is sensor or so needs to be replaced ..!!
i am wondering, is it a hardware problem?
do i have to replace my universal ?? or maybe there is something to do with the software or bootloader?

Um.. Today i tried to "tick off" the battery off option under the "System" page.. it works fine for the entire day.. And battery eats up is just normal. Anyway.. I think it's related to some software conflict of resources but not hardware.. um.. at least, this is one of the solution!

....one thought couldnt you turn off the power off after xx minutes setting, so that your device is always on?

Yet another thought... Have you ever tried taking out the battery, putting it back in, then starting the Universal back up? It takes time. Imagine taking all that time each time you open up the screen...
thanks for your reply. actually i did not mean turn off completly the phone i meant standby i was able to do this by deselecting the turn off the phone in the setting so every time i open the lid it is already on but this is affecting my battery life (i see about a 25% increse battery drain) so the point is to send the uni to stand by every time i close the lid and to bring it back from stand by as soon as i open it. thanks
Hi!

There are some tips and tricks to stop freezing and hanging. One key one is to put it into sleep mode yourself by pressing the power key NOT let it go into sleep mode by itself. Aside from that have you tried the things mentioned here:
http://michael-channon.spaces.live....BlogPart&partqs=cat=Hermes+Freezing%2fHanging
Mike
I have try all tips from http://michael-channon.spaces.live.c...ng%2fHanging but problem is still the same. I`m afraid it`s could be a hardware problem. I have put a light rom, there is no additional software in. Ihave also put a new batery, make test with pocket mechanic - get no more ideas. If I swith on hermes in safety mode problem is exactly the same. Sometimes system is stop responding directly after swith on, sometimes it`s take few or about 20 minutes.
Any ideas?
You could try a Hard Reset or changing the rom. Remember to back up everything first, I'd do both a contacts backup and a full backup. That way if you still have the problem after the full backup you can try a HR again but setup everything from scratch.
It may be bad blocks, so you should use MTTY to check this.
If you do decide to upgrade the rom, MAKE SURE YOU HARD SPL 1ST.....
Cheers...
Hey guys, this has probably been answered before but I've had a look around... cant find a solution!
I ride a motorcycle and the satnav on the phone is absolutely superb, I'm using TomTom6, but unfortunately the problem I have is that I have to keep the phone in my pocket... which poses a problem as turning the phone into sleep mode or locking the phone turns the GPS chip off completely!
I can't really keep the phone on tomtom while in my pocket without locking it as touching the screen causes the tomtom to enter the menu and a whole series of settings get touched accidentally!
So is there a way to put the phone into sleep mode, by which i mean quickly pressing the button on the top to turn the screen off... but keep the gps on?
I've tried using HDTweak and AdvancedConfig but can't find the right settings if there are any
Any help would be appreciated!
ok ill be quick before you involke the wrath of moderators, they will harp on about the search and not to keep making new threads which is fairly justified since it makes a big mess here, but anyhow, since you asked, yee shall find..
psShutXP
that will do the trick for you, works a dream for me wondering around the mountains tracking my routes
hope it helps mate, just better remember the forum search next time hay!
my bad! I did have a search around but must have missed it, apologies for useless thread! lol
Cheers bud
Try this

also you could use another simple piece of soft ScreenOFF. it does what the title said one touch and screen is off so no accidental touches are made in pocket and no locking done...
here is link
http://www.appliedpda.com/downloads/download_list/11
By using either of these programs... do I need to go into my device's power settings and turn off sleep then?
I'm away to go on a Snowboarding holiday soon, and have a program for tracking my runs etc. I don't want it switching the GPS off and losing my tracks!!
Hey guys, just to let you all know I've now tried all of these programs and they all stop the GPS from working when theyre run... it's a real shame!
Anyone found anything that works?
Have been looking for something like this myself but as the GPS is quite a power hogging device, without external power your battery will drain pretty quickly.
Going a different route myself. Ordered a Suunto X10 and will download tracks afterwards.
Was looking at making a clear, waterproof dash mount box with USB power in the bottom. With a hinged (book-like) front you could drop the phone in on power and leave it enabled running GPS. Would also display incoming callers that way.

neat idea, I was considering making a waterproof case for my motorcycle but that would involve a lot of cost and time. Two things I certainly lack!
Battery seems to be ok for me, I can do a 1.5 hour journey without totally draining the battery. As long as I take my charger with me I can charge at the other end.
I find this problem really bizarre, seems like a bit of a design flaw...
What about a tank bag?
I used to use a blueangel (XDAIIs) on my bike...
1. 3 part tank bag from ALDI 16.99 (With clear map bit at the top).
2. Battery to car ciggarette socket 2.50
3. Headphone extension cable Maplins 1.50
Power and in ear headphones for directions, ok looking at the TT itself whilst moving is not good, but thats what traffic lights are for
Since then I crashed my bike, bought a car and upgraded to the Blackstone.
install MobileMagic and on the Options tab tick GPS and "GPS while "power off".
Having the GPS running all the time does suck on the battery a bit, but I managed 6 hours on Dartmoor navigating with Memory-Map today (very nice it was too, thank you for asking).
been trying fiddling with mobilemagic all week, including the settings you suggested... it's not working The nice lady turns off as soon as I turn the screen off even if mobilemagic has the "GPS while power off" checkbox checked

You are quite right, I hadn't tried it with TomTom.
It isn't a GPS problem tho', it's TomTom!
I tested it out with MemoryMap and a coupla other GPS logging programs, they had no problem with their GPS log when the screen is off. But TomTom suspends whilst the screen is off, even if the phone's GPS is still on.
I don't know how to persuade TomTom to do what you want, but it would prolly be worth asking in the TomTom thread (or at least giving this thread a more appropriate title).
One workaround (albeit a battery draining one) would be to go to Start-Settings-System-Power-Advanced and untick the option, "Turn off device if not used for"
Then lock the screen by holding the Phone Down key.
(I'll just pop out now to check if that works)
EDIT
====
Nop that's no good either... but it's definitely a TomTom issue not a GPS one
(even with the screen just locked instead of off)
A little searching has found you an answer(s) (I hope!),

Ah, that explains why i can do it, memory map works fine with them, if its just tracking you need i would do as suggested above and force device to stay on but id also make sure to turn the backlight off all together, used to do that with an older device and it will easily last for 9 hours
cheers for all the help guys! I didn't click it could be a problem with tomtom itself, kind of should have realised at some point!
Gonna try Gyrator 2 tomoro while I'm in the car and can keep an eye on it. If that doesn't work, I might try MemoryMap and see if that works. Quite like tomtoms interface tho!
Will update after I've had a chance to play with the settings.
Once again thanks for all the help!

I wouldn't bother!
It's an ace bit of software.... for hiking, not biking!
It does OS maps, and it doesn't do any talking!

hmm.. might have to avoid that then. Any other GPS 'talky' satnav programs out there you're aware of?

It really depends which SatNav software you're using. TomTom wants to have the screen active to work. Finally I hooked up a female cigarette lighter plug to my motorcycle battery and plug in my phone using a Cig/USB adapter...no more battery drain!
I use NoniGpsPlot.
And I have a feature to turn screen off.
I've tested. The GPS continues to plot while the screen is off.
well it's FINALLY working!
Gyrator2 did the job, if I get it to lock when the stylus is in, the gps and tomtom continues to work with the screen locked.
One drawback to this is that the screen actually freezes so you can't *see* where you're going but of course this is no problem for me as I'm listening and not watching. Pulling the stylus out updates the screen immediately to where you are while running tomtom ofc.
So thanks for all the help guys, so happy to have this handy feature working properly! But yeah, if other people want to do the same perhaps try something else if you want to see where you're going as well as hear!
hi everybody!
I'm having problem. Iolite wakes up when I put it into the case with magnet. i have same problem twhen putting into the auto holder but now it's more serous. Anybody knows how to deactivate such wake up?
I am suspecting some service or driver, but can't tell you now, which one it is, because I haven't time to play with it. Maybe after weekend.
Hi!
So nobody knows how to get rid of that backlight auto turning on?
what do you see when it wakes up? the navpanel?
Baga12: Which part of my previous answer did you not understand? That waking up is because of small sensors on Iolite's back. Primarily, they are there to react to "navi-active" phoneholder. Every time, when magnetic field goes near them, Naviservice is triggered and NaviPanel starts. You can disable Naviservice, but Iolite will still wake up. Therefore, there must be some other service or driver responsible for this. And playing and messing with services and drivers is not an easy stuff, so please be little bit patient.

It just wakes up and shows what was before (today screen). Before I disabled the navipanel... now the backlight just turns on.

I also think there's a way through the services or drivers or register tweaks... Thanks, torrentonly, I'll be patient. Hope you'll find time.
Maybe it is easier (and safer) to get another case without magnet?

Good idea.. but I've bought it from ebay and waited for 4 weeks... don't want to change it
I finally solved the problem! I just used instructions in the thread "HowTo - Customize Hardware buttons" and it helped. Thank you all for your attention!
