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.
Even when I untick 'On Battery power Turn off baclight if device is not used for ... Time', my Jasjar baclight goes off in 2 minutes. And, if I set this to 5 minutes still my Jasjar backlight goes off in 2 minutes. Also, when I choose to 'turn on backlight when a button is pressed or the screen is tapped, it doesnot turn on any button or screen tap. I can turn it on by power button or Call reject red button. Any registry hacks/ Am I missing something? I would like my backlight always on untill I press power button. Also is there any hack to turn on power/ backlight automatically when I open the lid?

Maybe a soft reset (fixes lots of weird problems like this). Cheers,
yeah and if soft reset doesnt help, do backup, sync with PC and do hard reset.
Hi there,
This is probably a daft question, but how do I completely turn off the device? At the moment if I press the silver power button; it just turns off the backlight the way it does if you close the lid. It's not THAT much of a problem, just a huge drain on battery power.
Any ideas would be great,
Ta
You can't turn the device off completely like a regular phone. If you press the silver button once quick it will put the device into low power standby mode. The backlight AND screen should turn off. If you hold the silver button for longer only the backlight will go off which is different.
There are also a number of power saving options in the settings which will determine how long the backlight is turned off and how long the device will go into standby automatically.
Hey guys
My Hard button lights are alway on and when the phone goes in to sleep mode I have to connect the usb or charger to access the phone,when I press all button hold them and the screen will stay blank untill I connect usb my phone is activated with xbox/market place working fine
Is There a easy fix to this or will I have to Reflash my hd2 to wp7?
one more thing my power button does not work at all could this be the reason? when I take my battery out and put it back in it automacialy turns it self on.
I was just surfing through the net, I left my phone on bed & went to the bathroom, came back and found that the display won't turn on. Pressing the power button caused the back,recent apps buttons to light up but that's it. Even the LED notification lights work whenever a notification came.
Note : I think the phone turns on properly when I hold down the power button bcz I hear sounds, the led blinks, the phone even vibrates. But the display stays pitch black all the time.
What I tried :
Take out the battery, leave it for a few minutes then put it back on and try to turn on the phone.
Take out the battery and hold down the power button for a minute then put the battery back in and try to turn on. This time the phone turned on but when I pressed the power button once normally to turn off the display, it won't turn back on.
Try to go to recovery mode (Power+Home+V. UP). This worked once too but when I cleared cache and rebooted the device, it didn't turn back on.
Try to go to download mode (Power+Home+V. Down)
Plug the phone to my PC through USB cable, PC detected it but nothing happened.
Sometimes the phone turns back on normally but after a while it dies again. I checked the battery, it's fine.
