Is there an easy way to turn off the phone? Only way I figured out so far, is by tapping on the GSM icon on the top, and then selecting flight mode. This is really cumbersome compared to a regular phone where you just press the power button. There has to be an easier way..?
Hold the power button down? That will turn off the whole device. As for turning off just the GSM radio... I think the way you mentioned is the only way.
thx.. that was easy.. coming from regular phones, a lot of things work differently now -- slowly getting a grip on them.

It does seem a bit silly that the Communications Manager doesn't let you control the GSM radio as well as WiFi/Bluetooth/Audio.
If you have voice command, simply press your designated button and say "flight mode on"
I guess when holding the power button 5 secs to turn it off completely, alarms and reminders also won't work (haven't tried that yet, though)? So what I would actually want to do over the night is just turn off the gsm phone, but leave the pda part running.. So the easiest way to use flight mode is the best...
I hit the button on my Bluetooth Headset and said "flight mode on", but now when I hit the button on my headset I don't get the voice command prompt..... :roll:

Oh... Flight mode turns off the Bluetooth so my bluetooth headset couldn't find the phone... A definite RTFM event

The QTEK 9100 Comm Manager does have a button to turn on/off the GSM radio and is what I use all the time. I don't know why the K-JAM has a worthless volume on/off option when all you have to do is hold down the Comm Manager button to toggle this function. Maybe someone can figure out a way to get the 9100 Comm Manager on the K-JAM.
No, the Qtek comm manager doesnt. From top to bottom it has:
Wifi
Bluetooth
Sound/vibrate
Activesync
That is all.

just tested and you are correct, however if you go into comms manager you can manualy turn blue tooth back on?
or at least you can still use the voice button on the side to use voice command

Try out pocketzenphone.
It is very cheap and works on every platform, wm5.0 included. If you use the tray version and assign it to a HW butto you can turn your phone off simply pushing that button.
www.pocketzenphone.net
Hurry up downloading the beta release as it is time limited to october 30th and the developer is releasing it, so the beta will be removed.

Dang, the preproduction QTEK 9100 I have does have it in the Comm Manager. I just got the production 9100 I ordered and it has the Comm Manager like the K-JAM.
What does someone here need to hack this and get the preproduction Comm Manager working on the 9100 and K-JAM for us?
Probably nothing more than the .exe file from the pre-production unit! Upload to the forums!

Hello Robinton,
How could you use Voice Command from your BT Headset ?
For me, it doesn't work ! I always need to press button on the device.
I used BeyondTheTech's instructions for installing voice command on the K-Jam (Don't forget to do the registry change, that's what let's you use the headset button) Instructions are near the bottom of his blog, but don't forget to read the rest as this guy has some great advice and has done an excelent job of rounding up the 'must know' stuff.

Note that for the voicecommand to work your device has to be in the 'on' state (At least that has been my experience )
Guys.... a screen shot of the Comm manager on the Jasjar.... I knew I'd seen it some where recently....

Hy,
My name is Felipe and this is my first post. I wish the best for everybody here.
I just put my hands on my new XDA II and I have a few questions, if someone could help me with them I will apreciate very much.
1st- Yesterday I had to hardreset my unit, after that I found strange that the camera button does not turn on the XDA2, it still bring the camera function but only when the XDA2 is on. I found that strange because I am almost sure that I was able to bring the camera mode on with the XDA2 off with the press of the camera button. Soo, what is up? Does the camera button had to turn on the unit or it is the only button that does not turn on the unit if pressed?
2nd- I read all the manual and I saw nothing about speach dialler, I can´t belive a fantastic eletronic like this does not have this feature. I would like to confirm and if soo, I would like to know about one or two software to help me on this since I will almost always use the XDA2 on my bag and headset on.
3rd- I found the IR port just too little, I know sometimes size does not matter but have someone used the XDA2 as a remote controler for home eletronics? If it is not good enought could you please tell me if there is a IR emitter as a SD card, since the XDA2 does not have a CF card slot and the to be released backpack will have the cf slot placed in the botton. I heard that the Total Remote is a great solution, does it uses the earphone jack?
4th-I found something strange on my XDA2, on "settings" - "device information" - "call duration" I found that my unit received 1193046hours and 27 minutes of incoming calls. How this happen if the unit was suposed to be new (at least it arrived as new on box with seal, without any sign of used mark? is this any kind of test or bug? Is is possible to reset this number so I can have a real record of it?
5th- I bought a Blue Monkey usb/bluetooth dongle to be used on my desktop. I planed to use it to make the sync between the XDA2 and the descktop. But I found some problems. First I cant get the thing to work, so I ask is that possible to sync both of them with bluetooth? Two I had problems to find the descktop with my XDA2 while I had the Jabra250 instaled on the XDA2, soo can I have two bluetooth units bonded within my XDA2 or I need to chose and install only one?
Lots of questions for a first post.
I thanks in advance for the help.

I just found out my device has deeply discharged itself over the course of just two days, so I can't test it right now. I would say it depends on the setting in one of the phone menus which determines whether any button wakes up the device, or whether you need to explicitly turn it on.

No voice-dial app comes with the device. A number of voice-dial and more general voice command applications exist. "Fonix Voice Dial" and "Microsoft Voice Command" come to mind immediately. Use Google for more details.

That number of hours works out to exactly 0x123456 in hexadecimal, so that is unlikley to be the real number of hours. Funny though... There is at present not yet a tool or method to reset the Hmalaya call timers.

I played with Bluetooth sync and found it not to be worth it at the moment. You need to hit 'Sync over Bluetooth' on the device, which is annoying, and you need to soft-reset and re-bond frequently. Wait for newer ROMs before actually using this feature.

No worries, I stayed wide awake.... Welcome to XDA-developers...
When I got my xda2 it also said I had millions of hours of outgoing calls, once you make a call however the pointers reset to zero and start counting, so dont worry about it.

Yesterday I was able to use a chip of my girlfriend on my XDA2 and it worked very nice with the only exeption of the GPRS feature that I was not able to make work due to lack of information on my operator.
Anyway after I seen your post I had a look at the counter and unfortunately it did not zeroed but added the time I was using.
I will have to note it and then substract if I want to know on the future.
Anyway I thank you for the response.

Hummm, I forgot to tell that I tried to unlock the button but there is no option to lock just one button or unlock it but only all of them or none (with exeption to the power button). If I do lock, then it work as stated on the manual, but the strange is that if I unlock, the camera button continues to be the only one that does not power the XDA2 when it is off. But it work fine if the xda2 is on. I tried to assign diferent role for the camera button to see if it have to do with the assigned functions but it appear that the problem is direct related to the button not to the function.
What I would ask is to you just verify if your xda2 turn on with the camera button. And tell me.
Thanks for the help.

Just to see if there is workaround?
When i place my qtek in supplied covers, it sometime press the phone buttom switching in phone mode and redial last call.
I lost more than 50 minutes air time just this month.
Did hapend to you? Is any case or covers better to avoid this.
Same for the camera? I always miss press that buttom. Is any way to disactivate that buttom. Being able to switch back when needed naturally.
Besides that i do enjoy my qtek s200
For the camera button you can go to "Start > Settings > Buttons" and assign it "<None>".
As I didn't use the voice dialing I've set the camera to be "Button 4(Hold)".
You could also just lock the phone when it's in your pocket?
From that same location loko down the bottom and select the "Lcok" tab and make sure the first checkbox is checked. "Lock all buttons except the Power button".
Thank you very much
Now it seems so stupid. The problem is that receive a German model. As i don't know nothing about German ... :roll:
Thanks again
Could you not flash it with an English rom if you don't understand German?
My phone all of a sudden wont turn off. It all works fine just the power button does not work anymore. I can't turn off the screen by pressing the button once and I can't turn off the phone by holding the button down. If I take the battery out and then put it in the phone automatically boots up so it sounds like the button is stuck in the "on" position.
So now I have to leave the phone in gsm mode with, screen brightness low and auto screen turn off set to off because if the screen goes off i can't turn it on again. What a pain.
I did notice a droplet of water by the speaker when i removed the back cover but God knows how it got in there.
Anything I can do? Bought the phone second hand. Will HTC repair it?
you can use this so that all of your buttons will work to wake up your phone: http://www.fuzemobility.com/wake-up-your-fuze-without-the-power-key/
That fixes half of your problem
The other possibility is testing what a long press does- if you do a long press of power does it prompt you with a warning that it is going to turn off? If so you can remap a long press of the power button to an app that will turn off the screen.
PM me if you need help as I may not see your response here.
Thank you so much! I could kiss you
If the screen goes off removing the sylus brings it back to life if thats any help
i was just about to say, removing the stylus turns the screen on, well it does on my dads and soon to be (tomorrow) mine.
Yes I now remove the stylus to turn on my phone. Now I need another way to turn off the screen with out of course using the power button. Any ideas. At the moment I am using a long process of the action screen, shutdown, then turn of screen prcedure. There must be a quicker way or a single button press.
Can't remember if AE Button Plus has an option to assign any key to turn phone to standby/screen off.
I have a similar prob, the light on my power switch stopped working, and another weird thing is that remove the stylus doesn't perform wakeup. Any ideas?
Roadrunner100, HD comes with 2 styli. Did U try the second one?

tboy2000, try blowing over the power switch crevices with blower of a vacuum cleaner or a air compressor (in case of compressor U should be sure that it does not spit out any oil drops).

I tried blowing and using a hairdryer. No luck so far. Will try vacum cleaner next.
Maybe I need to take it apart and take out the button and replace it after cleaning around it. Is this advisable? Is there a manual of how to take it apart?
If you are still having difficulties using power button you can always use the following little app TouchOff
Copy the english files to location you saved app. i.e. if you saved app to storage card (recommended) copy files within folder to Storage Card > Program Files > Touch Off > Skins > DefaultVGA and replace files in that folder

That's just too weak for it. Need a powerful jet of air.. It has to go through those small crevices. Also hold your HD firmly and over a soft surface to avoid damage due to an accidental fall.

If U don't mind voiding warranty you can use the manual to open it. I don't know a way of removing those 'void' tabs non destructively.. For the usual tamper proof stickers hairdryer does a good job to remove it intact easily.
Well I tried a vacum cleaner to no joy. It still does not want to turn off. Permantly stuck on ON position so it does work but not properly.
I use AE Button manager to map the volume button to turn on and off the screen. Will look at manual and see if it is something I want to consider.
Thanks for all the info and help. I have contributed two wiki entries for the Blackstone so it is nice to get some help back.
Any more ideas always welcome to fix this power button.
tboy2000 Is it the button or the lever over the button that is stuck?

See the pic. You can separate the lever from the underlying button if lever is moving. Then this will solve your problem. If not then the button is stuck. You can try using the corner of a firm then plastic sheet to try free it. lastly opening is your only option.
BTW did U try blowing after the lever is lifted (be gentle with lifting it ).
From retentions I got a pretty good deal,
I had to pay £150 up front but then I was given £150 call credit...
£15/mnth contract.
I'm happy.
crajee: bless you for really trying to help me. Greatly appreciated! Really.
I tried lifting the button up. I did. Blew under it. Still no joy.
Occaisonally after say 30 seconds of holding the power button down, I do get the notification window (do you want to turn off your device). But it does not happen after 3 seconds as it should. Even though that occaisonally happens, it still does not turn the screen off. I am now starting to think the droplet of water under the cover near the speaker has something to do with it. God knows how it got under the cover if the cover was on.
I don't know what happened but tonight my power button suddenly works fine now. Happened all by itself. Must be when I lifted up the button and blew earlier today. So thanks Crajee, if it weren't for you I would never know you could lift up the button as shown in the photo above. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
tboy2000, Really glad to know your HD is back in full speed
BTW you can add resolved tag to the title of the thread as it can help others looking for similar problem.
The vibrator in HD2 is so strong, that i prefer to not use it. HTC has this neat setting, to increase the ringing volume when the phone is in pocket/bag mode. But it would be great if it also turned on the vibrator when in this mode?
I don't know, I'm not a developer, but to me it does seem like a usefull function, and it might not be to hard to tweak?

You can configure under sound and notifications to:
1. Vibrate and ring
2. Vibrate then ring
So not sure what tweak you are looking for.

sure but since there's a setting to make ringones louder when in a pocket, it would be nice with vibr. as well. really jest need vibr. when the phone is in my pocket annyway
I also think that vibrate in pocket mode would be a nice feature...
I agree that the function is needed - the only time I want it to vibrate is when its in my pocket. Would also be good to have other pocket mode functions such as buttons being disabled.

Good suggestion - i've used s2u2 for the last year on my TyTN II and think it's a great program. Still doesn't get round the issue of pocket mode vibration.
guys my Leo DOES vibrate when in pocket mode! It did from day 1 thats what pocket mode is supposed to do.. loud ringtone + vibration..
i've noticed though that sometimes it doesnt always detect the "pocket mode" for me, i know when its ringing in pocket mode, because it doesnt quiet the ringtone upon movement (which is also right coz if it did while u were walking then u might never know about that call u just recieved)
You're absolutely right! It does vibrate in pocket mode - HTC have thought about it all!! Does the screen have to be facing you to activate pocket mode? I presume it's the proximity sensor that detects it..maybe with a mix of ambient light sensor?
lukedom89 said:

i thought the same but if that was the case shouldnt it detect pocket mode when inside htc's leather pouch?? coz mine doesnt! it only detects pocket mode when its actually in a pocket although its pouch in a way creates the same environment... i know the phone cant be THAT clever! so i pressume that sometimes even if the slightest of light is captured by the light sensor makes the phone go off the pocket mode...
Hmm, after some testing, yes i't does vibrate, it didnt before, but i've updated to the official 1.48 ROM.
On my phone it vibrates when the gsensor detects movements before it rings, so it doesn't have anything to do with lightning (on my phone)
now, if i only could use the HD2 to send SMS messages (witch is often stuck in the outbox) i could put away my Nokia phone, and only use HD2
I haven't updated the ROM - I'm on 1.43 and pocket mode vibrates. I've also found that if I cover the light/proximity sensor when the phone is called it will activate pocket mode even when the phone is still.
Surely there must be some documentation on how this thing works!

yea i think there been lots of times that it ringed when it was in my pocket while sitting (still) or when in its pouch (still)
but like lukedom said, if u dont have any documentation saying exactly how it works and what triggers the behavior, u can only assume stuff...
I've been trying myself to understand how pocket mode works.
I have 1.48 ROM ITA. On pocket mode it usually rings and vibrate, but sometimes it does not.
I think it detects the pocket with the proximity sensor, because covering it with a finger does the job.
G-sensor also plays a role: if I put the phone in a still bag it gets louder but does not vibrate, but if I put it in the pocket of my jeans it vibrates and gets louder.
Not sure if the light sensor has a role because the lightning of the display should influence it.
Note that if you put the phone on silent mode, it just vibrates when in the jeans and does nothing in a still bag...
Pocket Mode SMS Vibrate
Is there any way to set the phone so that it will Vibrate & Play a Tone when receiving a Text Message in Pocket Mode BUT when not in a pocket, will only Play the Incomming SMS Message Tone and NOT Vibrate?

i thought that that was the behavior for all kind of sms as well as incoming call when in pocket mode..
at the moment i cannot test it though as my Leo is at repair center for a screen replacement...
it should be a registry setting for this though.. hopefully someone will be able to help..
Hello,
how can I disable the vibration when the tablet shuts down?
Its always irritating for me at night getting scared by this buzzing sound.
I've muted the tablet already but the vibration is still there. I Could not find a hint in the manual
and the samsung forum mods did not answer.
Which tablet so you have? This sub forum is for Tab S5e & Tab S5e doesn't have vibrate.

After research I see LTE models have vibrate but not WIFI models which is what I have.

I reread the original post. That doesn't turn vibration off for shutdown. As far as I know there is no way to turn off vibration at shutdown. You can only turn off vibration when it is on.
Sorry.

Just saw your answers. Thank you very much for your research and efforts.
Yes , I own Galaxy Tab S5e LTE. If I've known this before I had not purchased the LTE version.
What is the use off an extreme loud vibration at power off?
Unfortunately there seems to exist no hack to keep the tablet silent.
Maybe I can convince amazon to exchange the tablet for the WiFi Version.
Here is another vibration victim from last year:

Before you do that. I want to clarify something.
When you say, "shut down." Do you mean powering off or going into standby mode?
I think you may be confusing terms.
When powering the device on or off it will vibrate briefly and you cannot turn off the vibration. Even for the WiFi only variant.
If you are talking about standby mode, where the display turns off, then yes you can turn off vibrate like I originally said so it won't vibrate everytime you get a message or notified.

I mean "Power Off" in the sense of completely shut down not standby.
And I've disabled every single notification and vibe I've found in the settings.
So this is obviously a feature though senseless in my view. Especially in quiet situations like lying in bed which is my preferred tablet use.
So I'll keep my LTE version and hope to get used to it one day.
Maybe there will be a hack sometime.
As a workaround like you've written - if standby works without vibration - I'll will try standby instead of Power Off..

Ok. I just wanted to make sure we were both talking about the same thing. My Note 10+ vibrates at power on and off as well. But not when it goes into standby/sleep mode.
I usually keep mine turned on with sound and vibration off. When I close the lid, it goes into standby/sleep mode and doesn't vibrate or make a sound. I put it on the charger at night so I don't have to worry about the battery.
I think I'll tolerate the buzzing partially because maybe in the long run the battery will get worse sooner if always on "standby". Closing the lid works the same with my tab.
