Hello,
I upgraded my ROM from QTEK web Site last week (2.17.7.6 FRE). Everything is running smoothly, but for one:
In the POWER control panel, I set up the Wizard to shut down after one minute when battery powered, but it doesn't.
So when the phone is in my pocket and rings, it wakes up and doesn't shut down. As a consequences, buttons are pushed inadvertently.
It used to work very fine before the ROM upgrade. I Hate using the 'lock' function, because I have to manually lock and then press many buttons on screen to unlock. I tried changing the settings many times, rebooting, etc, with no luck. The control panel for backlight control does work.
Does anyone have an idea of what's wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Guillaume
By "switch off" I meant "stand by".
Sorry for my english...
First Soft reset your device, see if it can "stand by", if it can, try to lunch the "Camera" and close it, try to "stand by" again, ifyou cannot, That 's the probem also with me. hope they will fix this in the next release, BTW did any one success to run the O2 2.21 on Qtek 9100, if someone do, please tell us how can you get it, since I have no way to unlock the CID.

Just bought mij S100 and already a problem. My phone automatically shuts down the display, this is nothing strange. But when I want to turn it back on again using the on/off button, sometimes it does not react (sometimes it does). When this happens, i also cannot receive any calls. I tried to call myself with another phone and it did not ring. It looks like a crash to me. When I do a soft reset it works again.
I have the newest Qtek rom (1.12.00 WWE / 1.12.550 WWE) installed. Originally the phone came with T-mobile software.
I hope someone can help me with this problem.
If there is a problem with the power button, then you can go into Settings - Button Lock - do not lock buttons. This way you can turn on your device using any of the green or red buttons.
hi robbertje,
sometimes i have the same problem on my MDA compact (=imate S100).
on/off button does not respond - display dark.
soft reset resets the MDAc and everything is ok.
then a few days no problems. if this problem occours then more times.
I found out that if my MDAc is in this state and if I pull the SD Card out of the device, the screen is on but frozen. The time which is shown an the screen is not correct. Seems that it shows the time when the device went to the freeze status.
Also battery is very low after such problems.
I used to have it when I first upgraded to big storage. A hard reset seemed to fix the problem. What I found was that the screen would react, but it could be up to a minute after I hit the power button. Same thing when the screen was on, I'd hit Start and wait. After a while the start menu would pop up. This was before I even managed to install any other software so it's a windows bug that's fairly random. I haven't had it happen for a few months now, though.
I think PPCProfiles made the problem. I reinstalled PPCProfiles and it seems that the problem is solved but I will see ..................
Hey, I've already ur problem. It's an hardware problem!
The mess is that, when the PDA is cold (strange, huh?) it won't reactivate, causing to do a soft reset. Mystically, the LEDs are still functioning (I mean, if it's green, it will continue to blink BUT doesn't change for any reason)
The only way to fix it is to send it to the repairing center. Sorry for who is out of warranty.
Cheers,

new ROM?
In this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25761 it is said a new ROM wil fix the problem ...
Is this possible?
check http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27956&highlight= too - may not be relevant, but it shows that power button wierdness can actually be the result of a dodgy battery.
remove your battery,and wait 1 day,my problem solved this method...
Looking at an MDA Vario, on the homescreen you can "lock" the device.
I'd like to be able to PIN Lock my device by pressing a key, like I used to my C500 - or a button on the homescreen would be even better. The C500, just pressed the power button and chose "Device Lock" - nice and easy way of securing the phone, preventing anyone from using it.
Whilst I've got the timeout set on my MDA Pro, it doesn't always seem to kick in, and I'd like to be able to lock it manually, but can't find the way...
Can you help?
I agree...
The Qtek 9100 has this nice function as well. Why can't we use it in Universal as well?
set the time to 0 minutes, and then simply switch the device off. This will lock it.

I think the point is, we want to have the "OFF and LOCK NOW" option to click whenever we feel like it, without the inconvenience of having it lock every single time we turn it off.
I see. Looks like a simple program would do that registers for a wakeup event, sends the unit to sleep and then blocks the device until a PIN is entered. However, that can be circumvented easily by a more sophisticated user...
What if a user of a Qtek 9100 (Wizard) could take the Lock Device.exe they have in their ROM's and give it to us???
Wouldn't that solve the problem? :?:
well, let's try !
Anyone??? All we need is the Device Lock.exe I believe from a Wizard...
There is no such file in the Wizards ROM. many have been looking for it, because we want to bind it to a hardware button and remove it from the Today screen. However, none of us have been able to find it. Posting it to you is therefore not possible, sorry.

I didn't know that my friend... That's unfortunate...
Thank you for your reply though
I don't even want to bind to hardware - just the software would be good for now!
I installed the latest UK TMobile Rom, and the lock device today plugin or something like that suddenly appeared... and works perfectly
Hi,
Have next problems. After every power-on:
1. opens outlook mail;
2. have keyboard and main buttons locked. Stilus-screen is OK.
after pressing e (internet explorer)button or comm.manager buttons everything is OK;
3. pressing center button in d-pad opens ScreenAlign (as after hardreset), and after completing this continues normally as expexted;
4. cann't hard reset, because Send button don't operates as p.2 above.
It is Qtek 9100 orign.
Have flashed Qtec, T-mobile and Jam latest roms, exact same behavior
Can anybody help?
And sorry my poor english language.
Tiit
Damn...
My wizard acts exactly the same..... I've spent couple of hours to see if there is any solution of this problem on the forum... Well, there isn't.....:/ NOONE wrote a single word.... Even something like "there is no way to fix it, flush your wizard in the toilet"... Experts...
I'm sorry for being so annoyed, anyway i still request for help and I would be grateful if someone could give a tip
try to flash one of the 6 or 6.1 ROMS perhaps? If that doesnt fix it, then I dont know what to tell you!
I have this issue too. The only thing that works is to keep pushing on, under and around the Lock button on-screen. It will eventually unlock itself but it takes quite a lot of tapping
Hi there! I hope anyone of you has a solution for my problem; it is really annoying. I have a QTEK 9100, which I have recently upgraded to the latest English version 2.17 using aWizard. Everything was working just like a charm. But I have a weird problem. When I turn on the device lock (on today screen) and don't use the device until it turns off, I cannot get It out of sleep mode. No chance to unlock again... all I can do is a soft reset and this is not too amusing (at least for me :wink: ). Do I miss something elementary?
Any hints to solve this are warmly welcome!
I know that this won't solve your current problem, but you might want to upgrade to the latest ( German ) QTEK 2.18
I ran the 2.17 ENGLISH before, without problems and flashed my MDA VARIO last night to the 2.18 GERMAN QTEK - works like a charm too!
Thanks dreamboxer! I've tried that yesterday evening, but the result has been the same. Could you try something for me? Turn the device lock on (today screen), then wait until the device "turns off". After a while (around 5 minutes) try to turn it back on. In my case the device does not respond and I have to soft reset. Thanks if you have the time!
there's no problem with device lock today plugin in this and any version rom. turn the device on (by pressing the power button) then pres left softkey (Unlock) and finaly TAP the Unlock button on the screen. if this isn't working there's might be some third party app you're using that is making a problem.
Hi dddrko
Thanks for your answer. Your instructions are exactly what I was trying to do. I have no third party applications installed at all for limiting the cause of the problem. When I press the power button to turn the device back on, there is no softbutton because the device hung up. Sometimes I see the soft button, but after using it the screen turns white and I have to soft reset.
Thank you anyway for your help!
endeler
i think i have the same problem, but i think you will find that the device does not hang but rather the backlight turns off and it is not possible to turn the backlight back on with a screen tap. what i have to do is look very carefully and go into settings -> backlight -> and turn it back up to the top of the slider!
Thanks s4vva; I've had that problem every once in a while as well. I wonder if I am the only person having this problem. Can anybody confirm not having this issue please?
Thank you!
So I have been looking around the internet and on this site, and I found a few programs that lock the phone including the two programs created by vijay555 and armstrom but they just don't do what I am looking for. This is what I am looking for:
1) When I press the power button I want my phone go into sleep mode and lock
2a) When I press the power button again I want it to turn the screen back on and advance me to the screen where i just press unlock on the touch screen( not unlock on the soft keys and then to unlock on the touch screen. I would like to skip the soft key press.)
2b) Instead of the need to press the touch screen to unlock it would be great if when I hit the power key to turn back on that it allowed me to press the middle nav button(such as the lock on the palm 700 wm)
Hope someone can help! Thanks alot! I have a Cingular 8525!
well now once you hit the power button to sleep it will only leave the power button active, so you dont have to lock it before you put it to sleep.. also the latest version of battery status has an option that will lock the phone upon wake up.. now i know you are looking for something to lock it prior to sleep and unlock during wake up, but personally i think unlocking during wake up could cause issues if the phone is on your pocket.. you can also still answer calls while the phone is locked
VJDeviceLock locks on power off if required. Advancing to second stage could be done. Making device unlock on pressing enter is possible but semi-complex. I don't know if Matt is still developing, but I could update mine if required.... I'm very busy and pre-occupied, but if enough call for it I'll give it a go.

that would be amazing if you could look into it. I would really appreciate it!
hi, vijay555. does your device lock affect activesync synchronization? the one i tried always give out an error message, so i had to remove the program.
Don't know if it does. If it does anything at all, it should do the same as the normal device lock today screen plugin. Let me know if it does something else.

i have yet to find a device lock that kills activestink on the phone

this one (included in the addon folder), when installed and set up, disrupts synchronization on my phone (xda2s on helmi's 3.2 rom). but i can still explore the phone via activesync.
i will try vijay555's program. thanks.

ok, you are referring to the AS on the pc getting disabled... or let me state that better, when you use that app to lock your phone it halts synch between pc and phone.. thats odd.. i will pull apart that cab and see whats up with it, however im not well versed on versions earlier than WM5.. but in theory it should work the same way.. i will report back
**EDIT**
wait, im an idiot, i dont need to pull it apart to answer your question, dont know why i didnt think of this earlier, when you put your device to sleep it should kill the connection over usb (why your able to browse via AS is still beyond me). i have experienced that on all the WM5 devices i have owned farrady, wizard, hermes...
**2nd EDIT**
That cab is doing exactly that, when you activate the device lock it puts the phone into sleep mode via reg key HKLM/Software/Devicelock and the dword "SuspendAfterCheck". now with that being said there may be a reg key to also disable power save modem on the active sync connection, but im not sure if it exists for earlier versions of WM
thanks, shogunmark. btw, my unit is already on WM5... and i got lost on the 2nd EDIT, lol!

oh, i thought your particular device was wm2003 device, my bad.. that 2nd edit showed a registry setting that suspends the phone when using that app, if you have regedit you can try to play with that setting and see what happens, the HKLM is HK local machine key in the registry.. its currently at a value of 0. from this app, you could try changing it to a 1. but then again that program may overwrite that value each time its ran, but i dont think so, its worth a shot
okay so now that i have played with my phone for a couple of days i know exactly what i want now. I would really like a program that would lock my phone and then shut it off with just the simple press of the power key on the side. I have used both the programs for vijay and the other device lock and they both will lock after device awakens, but I would really like it to lock before then. If that could be possible, i could then use the device lock program to run a program when the phone wakes, i will run vijays button press to press the left soft key and then all i will have to do is press the screen to unlock, thus exactly what i need is taken care of. Hopefully everything is understadable. I am super tired right now, but i have been testing all day and wanted to update the post.
@lance18: i'm not sure if i read correctly, but maybe you could opt to have your unit power off after a certain amount of time, without using the power button
start>settings>settings>power>advanced
@shogunmark: thanks for the idea. i just realized i could have one program run after locking my unit, so i chose activesync. i now have
no more problems synchronizing
