We have some 6950 the GPS one in uk.
When the battery dies and they are re-charged the bluetooth and phone do not turn back on. We have to manually turn them back. This is a problem in that our machines have a Kiosk mode to stop the user messing with the settings. So I have to let them turn of the kiosk mode turn on phone & bluetooth. Turn kiosk mode back on then they can use them.
How can I make them return to the state before the battery goes.
Keep them charged is not the answer I'm looking for.

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problems.
When I go to bed I turn the PDA off. The phone is still on.
When I wake about 7 hours later I find the battery is at 60%.
What's the deal? I thought it was supposed to have 150 hour standby life.
I do find something else quite weird. When I turn the PDA off the screen turns off and it all seems fine. I have the button lock turned on so no other buttons will work. After a couple of minutes, if I move the volume slider up or down the PDA will beep. Then if I press any of the buttons such as "Record" "Camera" and "Calander" Nothign seems to happen.
But when I turn the PDA on the "Recoard" "Camera" and "Calander" applications will load.
It is kinda of like it isn't turning off the PDA at all.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it?
Thanks

if grps is only and bluetooth is on and maybe messenger and or icq is on it drain the batt
GPRS and Bluetooth are both on but GPRS is not connected. And Bluetooth is not connecting to anything.
I don't use messanger.
Would that still be draining the battery that much?

Cyeoh,
Unfortunately, I know exactly what you are going through. Your phone is entering a mode called 'resuming', it’s a low power state that does not turn on the display, etc, but will respond to hardkeys, volume slider, etc......
I'm guessing your XDA2 goes into 'resume' while trying to find a GSM signal, (are you in a weak area). This is my problem, you can read about it here...

As a test, you should turn off the phone, (flight mode) for one night and compare the battery in the morning, (I'm willing to bet is almost the same as when you left it). Alternately install an app that monitors cpu usage, (like the one in the above link), and you probably will see a similar pattern to mine.
The registry solution does help, but causes problems with Bluetooth, (at least it did on my device, nothing a soft reset didn’t fix, but it was VERY annoying)….
If it is your GSM phone, you might want to try using another GSM SIM card from another provider, (maybe a friends) and see if you get better results. When I switched to a better provider I got an increase of 10% on the battery, (not great but something!)
Thank You very much.
That does answer a lot. I do have very bad reception at home. I guess this may mean I need to leave it charging over night. However I do find the XDA does charge very quickly which mean in the time it takes me to get ready for work it is back up to 93%.
I will put it into Flight mode tonight to see what happens.
It's still a little bit ****ty and it seems to be because of software. Hopefully they will fix it in the next ROM update.
Thanks
Cam
How did you go with your test last night cyeoh, did your battery last a little longer?
I'm intrested to know as when I charge my battery over night in the morning its still is not on 100% untill I do a soft reset or disable and enable flight mode then it pops up to 100% and stops charging... yet a nother feature of some software I've installed or the ROM version at the moment!!!
Hi there,
With my BlueAngel I could leave the WiFi on all night as when the phone was switched off it did not eat up the battery - when the phone was switched on it would spend a couple of seconds reconnecting to the wireless point.
The Universal seems to behave in the same way, yet it eats up all the battery overnight even when I have switched the phone off and it is not connected to the WiFi access point.
Is there some setting or registry key I can alter to fix this?
Cheers,

@Qulity, if you don't close PIE I have found the battery can be drained. I assume overnight you are using Flight Mode.
Are you closing the flip and presuming that the device gets turned off or have you actually set your device to turn off after a fixed period of inactivity in the power settings?
If it is the former, then the device actually does not turn off if there is any activity in the background like active GPRS or WiFi etc. A simple solution to this would be to press the hard-ware on/off button once you are done irrespective of whether wfi is active or not in the background.
Try it out and post your results here.
My device is set to turn off after 2 mins on battery power, but I made a special point of turning it off with the hardware button before testing last night. As I said before my BlueAngel never behaved like this.
my jasjar was turned off yesterday, and every 5min i heard sound for new wifi network!! same problem, i solved it with turnig wifi off!! any other solutions?
Greets.
Every time my magician battery goes down, the next time I use bluetooth I get
"Turn off flight mode first", even after the battery is fully charged.
Then, I must turn on flight mode, and turn it off, and then I must insert the phone PIN. THis is really annoying,
Is there any fix for this?
Dont know if you could stop it doing that.
It turns off the sd/mmc slot and phone to conserve power, when the battery is low. I find it lasts the longest per a percent when those things are off.
After all, it is a pda and it doese function more than a phone. Its just trying to save your data.
Registry hacks anyone?
whitemoo.
I get this issue even after I fully charge the battery.
For example, the battery goes low. I charge it, and then if I try to use bluetooth I get that message "please turn flight mode off".
find this
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\FlightMode]
"PhoneLocalizedName"="Phone.lnk"
& rename
like this-
"PhoneLocalizedName"="TPhone.lnk"
it`ll never be " Turn off flight mode first"
message
Is there any side effect?
Hi,
As everyone will probably know, the x10 automatically turns on when you put the phone on charge.
I'm just wondering if there is a way to turn the phone off permanently e.g. so it only turns on when manually turned on.
I find that when my phone fully charges at night and is left with charger connected, the battery drains really quickly and when it gets to about 90% it starts charging again, this really bugs me. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to turn this auto feature off, so I can just turn my phone on in the morning and have it fully charged.

Have you tried turning the phone off after you plug it in...? I haven't so I can't say whether it works or not, but it isn't a problem for me either...
BTW, the drain to 90% is a feature to stop the phone from overcharging and destroying the battery...
At the moment you can not charge your phone while it is off. Regarding the post above, it might not be implemented in the future either since you will have a risk of crushing your battery.
What you could try turn off all what you can (wifi, bluetooth, 3G and applications), this should make the battery drain less.
I haven't tried this myself, but you could also try restarting it before charging. The idea is to leave it charging while the pin code still is asked. This should keep wifi and the other basic functions like 3G disabled. This should decrease the drain usage.
You could also change the profile into flight mode, this should have the same effect unless some applications are prevented from starting up without your pin inserted.
Turning off the phone while it is being charged will just turn it on again.

I think the drain to 90% will be exactly the same even if you do turn things off... the way I have my phone set up, it actually drains slower once unplugged... In short, I think you're stuck with it...
Download an app called hibernate. PM me if you cant find it but search google, it is there. One touch of its short-cut of widget and you can then tell all radios off and make the screen turn off quicker. Everynight when I go to bed I put the phone in hibernate and plug charger in. When I wake up I have 97% battery, sometimes more.
Do you have a battery widget installed because I read on one of the forums that this stops it charging, so once I removed mine the phone would charge to 100%.
Hello, I can't charge my phone much(like 20-30 mins every other day) so I turn my phone off when I dont need it but I turn it on like 3-4 times a day to send SMS or make a call and my question is:
What is better in order to save battery, Turn the phone off and on(like 3-4 times a day) or put it on flight mode when I am not need it?
Depend on how much battery you want to save.
Turning off should save more battery than any other method.
But if your battery can last long enough to wait for another charge then flight mode is fine too.
Along with the flight mode you can reduce the brightness to "0" and turn off WiFi , mobile data , Bluetooth , GPS , to save even more battery when on.
Turning off and on everyday can also ruin you battery.
So, If I was in your place I would go with the flight mode method and see if it lasts long enough , if not then there always the turn off and on method
