hello,
My S100 can not shut down when i press the power button during 2 seconds. (Note: Turning your device off doesn’t turn the phone off. To turn the phone off, press and hold for two seconds.)
It looks off, but it's not, the phone is still on !
I heard i can use the "inflight mode", but i'd like to know the correct manip' to turn off the device AND the phone !
Any idea ? :roll:
ROM : 1.03.02 FRE
Date : 11/02/04
the only correct way to turn the phone off is to use the flight mode.
if you pressed the power botton for 2 sec you will turn the screen light off.
regards.
Pressing the power button does not turn the phone off, that is an error in the manual as far as I know.
Only Flight mode turns off the phone function, when you press the power buton shortly the S100 powers down ( goes into sleep mode), when you press the power button longer the backlight goes off. If you look close, you see the screen is still on then and when you tap it, the programs you tap will respond. When you turn the S100 to sleep mode, the screen switches completely off and does not respond to anything.
You cannot turn the S100 completely off, since no power means no RAM, means a hard reset, means all data you installed gone. In sleep mode, the S100 uses very little power to retain the data and is still able to run alarms, notifications etc.
If you want an easier way to switch your phone to flight mode than tapping the signal symbol in the top and then tapping in the pop-up ,and create alternative modes ( like meeting, loud, soft, quiet, etc), I recommend PocketZenPhone, where you can easily create your own phone modes with buttons on your today screen. The app is very cheap ( 5 euro's) and the links can be found on this forum.
thanx a lot for you're answers ! That helps !
If I am correct, if I need to reboote the device and the phone (for instance, after i installed the "contacts short cut programm designed by Mamaich), the only solution I have is to remove the battery ??? :roll:
I tried to put the phone in flight mode and shut down the device but it didn't work....
I think you need to read your manual better!
Rebooting the device can be done by a soft reset. You just put your stylus point into the little hole in the bottom of the S100, right of the headset hole, and press. It then restarts completely and loads your programs again etc.
Removing the battery also soft resets, BUT: If you leave it out too long, the back up batery runs out and you do a hard reset, thereby removing all data on your device you installed! It will leave you with an S100 as it came from the factory, but all your own data is completely gone (programs, contacts etc)! A Hard reset can also be done by pressing and holding the power button while at the same time doing a soft reset as described above, by putting your stylis in the little hole.
With some programs, like SPB PocketPlus you can select a small reset button to be present on your today screen, so you don't have to push your stylus in the little hole everytime you want to soft reset.
I hope this helps.

I dont know why, but my device does not turn "on" when I open or turn the lid/display? I have to press a key. Is it the same with your devices?
Yes this is the same with all universals. Gotta press the power button.
Not very smart... :?
Yeah. Some of the other buttons will take it out of standby/off, like the calender/contact button if you are on the today screen and the backlit button. I guess it's like powering on a laptop Gotta press a button.
i hope that they'll add this funktion very soon. in 99 percent of the cases you need an activated device when opening the lid.
Well, it "sort of" works. If you turn off the device with the power button, then close the lid, it won't turn on when you open the lid, you have to press the power button. Fair enough. But if you close the lid while its still on, you can see that as the lid is closing, it will turn off. Then, open it up again, it will turn back on. But only if you open it in a certain time period after closing the lid. Beyond that time period, it won't turn back on when you open the lid.
I don't know this for sure, but I think it looks at your power management settings. For instance, if you have the auto power off set to five minutes, then if you open the lid within five minutes of closing it, it will turn on. After five minutes, it won't turn on. Which is definitely a bug I would think.
when you close the jasjar without pressing the power button you are only turning off the screen
The normal standby mode (closing does not switch off and screen is activated by opening) is OK with me.
But the lid should also work like the camera button, wich turns the device on when its off. There should be no physical and logical limitations.

You guys are lucky.... Least your system is not getting active while u turn the lid back.. I have my device with password protect, most of the time when I try to reactivate my system by pressing PowerButton, it give Blank Password Screen, where you cant use it unless Soft Reset... Seems like its a bug in universal.
Hi people. having a bit of a crisis. my mini s wont startup any more? it just hands at the 'windows mobile' graphic?
anyone know any genuis solutions to help me get it working again?
pretty please *crying*

Have you tried to give it some time? When i had old version of Polish official WM5 ROM from Era operator, my Wizard took more than 5 minutes to boot (instead of less than a minute with newer ROM). Also, sometimes it did hang in the process. What seemed to help (though i have no idea why) was not allowing the backlight to go off by tapping the screen once in a while during the boot process.
left it on, with charger plugged in to maintain juice all morning and its not gone any further
And how about keeping the device awake - tapping the screen during boot process?
it stays permanently awake from reset
What i meant, is that when my device booted, after a while the backlight went off. if i didn't tap the screen to turn it back on, the device simply hung. Then again, that was probably just a problem of my ROM/software combination, since i never saw anyone else describing such problem. If you have your data backed up, you might try a hard reset, if not, maybe someone else can give you a bit more useful advice
it just stays on. no tapping required.
is a hard reset the same as holding down the power button til it turns off because ive done that a few times now
any suggestions?
nope, hard reset is holding the comm manager and voice memo buttons pressed and pressing the side reset button. Keep these buttons down until you get a question if you want to restore your factory defaults (you'll have to press the call button if you do). Be arare that you'll lose all the data on your phone (those on the storage card will stay intact) - all the files, contacts, messages. I hope you have a backup of those...
strangely enough, held down those three buttons and instead of asking me to hard reset it vibrated and then popped the txt mesages screen up?
very bizare
must have been retaining the boot graphic on top of the apps?
thanks for the help!

Well, i must admit - that sure is odd.
there is another way to hard reset - turn off your device completely (holding the power button for a few secs, and answer the popup message asking if you want to power down "yes" (from your earlier posts i understand that it worked). When the phone is completely off (no LED blinking), press the two side buttons i mentioned earlier (voice command and comm manager) and while holding them power the phone up just as you normally do - by power button. Keep both side buttons down until you get the question about resetting. If you hold the buttons and it gets to the windows mobile screen, then one of them might be faulty.
[EDIT]
I just thought o0f something else - if the SMS window pops up, it would mean that the device is actually booted, so it should connect with activesync. Maybe connecting it to the PC, opening the device's folder, and navigating to /windows/startup folder. Thye problem might be caused by one of the applications run on start, so try moving (not deleting) all items from startup to some location on your PC. Then do a soft reset (the reset button on the side). If it boots, post the list of apps you had in startup, maybe we can figure out which one was causing trouble and put all others back to startup. If not, then the problem is somewhere deeper in the system, and a hard reset will probably be necessary.
[/EDIT]
Noob-question but shall the phone be on or off when u do the soft reset ? I mean, it feels like it should be off but then it is actually not a reset but a turn on and then turn off ?
Thanks!
Soft reset is basically 'restart' or 'reboot'. Turn off and on again?
Since the phone isn't actually 'off' in standby mode (what you get when you normally press the power button) it makes no difference - you're turning it fully off/back on when it's turned on on either way.
From a practical point of view it's best to soft reset from an application (search, there are a few around) to save you having to take the batter cover off and put it back on each time.
Hi,
I've read on here that you can do a soft reset without taking cover off and pressing the actual reset button, but I can't find it again. I've looked on hints and tips, wiki, and searched. Can anyone help please?
Cheers
You'll be needing the TouchX Reset & Wifi shortcuts then
You can get them off this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4947950&postcount=1
It creates 2 shortcuts in your start menu. 1 for resetting, and 1 for toggling wifi. You can then add to your quicklinks, if you so wish.
Hope this helps
You could always switch off + switch on but johncmolyneux suggested works as well, although I used a cab so as when I push the switch off button, I get a new menu with various options, including soft reset.
Forgot which one it is though
Snerkler,
Some good suggestions here. Be aware that these will only work if the device is NOT in the grip of death, as I call it.
If it has died then there's no option but to take the back off and either press the little red button or take the battery out.

The 'out of the box' method, without resorting to additional applications is to press and hold the Power key for 3 seconds.
This opens up a context menu which includes 'Power Off'. This is a full 'power off' state with all background processes stopped. Pressing the power button again restarts the phone as in a soft reset.

So turning the phone off and on again is a soft reset???? If that's the case why are there cabs for soft reset, seems a bit strange to me. Wish I'd known that before when installing some of the cabs and taking the back cover off to press the reset button

I know what you mean about the "grip of death" lol. Been there already.
Turning the phone fully off then on again is the same as a soft reset. A simple on/off isn't.
If the device goes through the splash screens on restarting (as after the power button 'hold' switch off) that is a soft reset.
I use a stand alone program called psShutXP which is available on This Page - download the VGA version. It runs as a small Screen Off/Suspend/Power Off utility.

I'm not sure what you mean by fully off, and simple on/off. Are you referring to power off, and sleep? In which case I was referring to power off, ie hold power button and then select power off

Sorry - could you explain that please? Is there a difference between turning the phone off, and "fully" off?? I assume you're not refering to simply switching off the display when you say a "simple on/off", as that's not off at all.
You've lost me there mate.
There are 3 or 4 suspend states- sorry, but I can't remember what all 4 are
There is 'screen off' which simply turns off the screen but keeps all currently active programs running. This is only available by using a 'Display Off' or 'Screen Off' switch such as the 'Toggle Screen' option in Media Player. WFi and GPS remain active in this state.
The next is 'Suspend' by pressing the power button. This turns off the screen and some functions such as WiFi and GPS and some media players also stop working but the phone remains responsive and timed notifications will still work.
Next is the 'full power off' I mentioned which you get by pressing and holding the power button. This turns off all functions, phone features and stops all notifications working.
That's what I was clumsily trying to say when I mentioned that a 'full power off' has the same effect as a soft reset- as opposed to a 'screen off' or 'suspend'.
[Edit: Having tried this a little more, it may be that the HD2 doesn't differentiate between states 1 and 2 ?. Due to the lack of hardware button configuration, Media Player's Screen Toggle can't be assigned to a button. psShutXP's Display Off button works, but on turning on again, the lock screen starts, which shouldn't happed with a simple display switch. ]

And it's met on the Touch Pro, Diamond and others...
I think I'll send it to warranty...
I'm not really sure but you can try a hard reset:
Hard Reset
1. Power Off the phone.
2. Press Both Volume UP & DOWN Keys together.
3. Keeping the keys pressed, power up the phone.
4. The screen will display a message.
5. Press the Volume UP Key.
