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.
hi, after instaling pretty much of applications on my wizard it just stopped respond. if u do a soft reset it boots but freezest on todays screen and thats it. there is a massage dispalied "low memory". i cannot do a hard reset, upgrade rom anything. is there any other way to perform a hard reset ?? (i tried comm mnr+voice+plus soft reste) HELP !!!
cheers, matt
Some people have joy with - turn off - press and hold comm, record and camera buttons and press power on.
If that fails you should be able to flash your device with the same rom. Turn off, press camera button and hold then press power button and bootloader multicolored screen should come up. Connect via usb to pc and reflash rom.
Hello Friends,
There are many many useful sequence of keys in HTC Universal which is usable for device manipulation. If you know one of them, please report them here.
I know there are many threads that our friends define some keys, but I think an integrate thread is needed.
1) Reset to factory setting
Press and Hold Both Menu Keys On Keyboard ( With Minus (-) Sign) and reset your phone using stylus. A Message appears and wants you to enter 0 to clear storage memory.
2) Show boot menu
Press and hold Light button(Right of Infrared) and reset your device using stylus. A Menu appears and you can do some boot tasks.
3) I want to update my device, but It does not boot and I cant use active-sync to update that.
Press and hold light button(Right of Infrared) and Turn-on button(beside SD Slot) then restart your device using stylus.
The device goes in update mode, you can plug usb cable and run MaUpgradeUt.exe. If it shows error run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe.
I bought my HTC 3400i Last month. Yesterday my HP laptop was connected to internet and I connected my forbile for charging. After one hour the screen of my mobile started flickering so I disconnected and reinserted. Then there was a heavy Flicker. I switched it off. Now its not starting. I tried the Hard reset, but the light of my charging and both soft keys are glowing. Then it turns off.
Kindly Help.
Thanks
Try hard reset
Try a hard reset
1. Remove battery
2. Press & hold power button for few second
3. Insert battery
4. Press POWER button + both soft keys ( key just above green & red keys) together.
if everything is fine there would be a text on screen and will ask you to press send key then press Green key
Hope you will manage to save your gene
Hi guys, anyone can advise me whether is there any other ways I can On and OFF my HP 612 if the ON/OFF button is not working any more?
umm how you know if it is the button doesn't work or the device simply doesn't boot?
anyhow you could disassemble the device and try push the key manually i guess
press the reset button. once its resets it will be on.
in your power settings change it so it turns off after 5mins (longest you can chose) nad then every 4.59 mins press a button
Set your backlight to off after 10 seconds, so you can try and recover some sort of battary life.
