Is there a way to complete shutdown the universal?
If I press the powerbutton it's not really powered off... for example it however pops up the notifications/alarm etc.
Let me know if there's a way.
Thank you,
Roberto
take the battery out, its the only way
The x51v comes with an app to switch off entirely, through the magic of persistent memory.
A review of the kjam says:
If you hold down the power button for about 4 seconds, the K-JAM will bring up a Yes/No dialog asking if you want to continue with a full power off. If you choose Yes, it will shut the device off completely, meaning it won't use the battery at all.

Holding down the power button on the Jasjar simply turns the backlight off. You need to hold it down again to turn it back on. I did this accidentely the first time and I thought the device was broken for a minute, because it didn't apprear to turn on when I pressed the power button.

Just tried holding down the power button for 20 seconds and it only turned off the backlight. Nothing else.
Dear friend,
how do I do to put OFF completely my magician XDAmini?
Best regards

Take the battery out?
And pushing the power button?
The power button can only put the phone is Standby. In PDA phones there is no such thing as OFF. The RAM needs power all the time. Sliding the battery cover in and out will also power off the device. Don't leave that long though, otherwise you risk losing all the information.
Hello,
I'm new so plz be patient. Ok, pressing the power button only allows us to set the device in standby mode. How do I turn off the phone (gsm) mode then? The idea is just that I want to figure out a way to reduce the power consumption as much as possible.
Thx for all coming answers..
To turn the phone itself off click on the signal strength indicator then click on 'Turn on flight mode'
This turns off the phone part of the device but leaves the pda side still functional
HTH
Alrite. But is there a way to accomplish that task with hardware buttons? Guess not, ey?
Just don't wanna pull out my stylus that often.. *g*
Press and hold the power button for several seconds. this will actually turn the device OFF.
Do the same to turn it back on.

This is not true. When you do that, the background light will be off, but the phone is still working.

You could install PocketZenPhone from here: http://zendrui.free.fr/ and then, as long as your fingers are not too fat, you can press an icon on the today screen. 8)
Cool, thx for this hint.

I don't think that the GPRS is using that much power, but to turn it off, hold the RED Phone button down for several seconds (I never timed it, I just wait for the "GPRS Connected" icon to disappear.
Your best bet for power consumption is to lower the screen brightness to it's lowest level, and set the screen backlight to go off at 30 seconds, and lastly to set the device to power down at 1 minute of inactivity.
copy this app to your magician, in a folder you want. Bind it to a hard button or make a shortcut on your Todayscreen with SPB Pocket PLus or another program.
PocketZenPhone (the tray version of it) can also be used to set the profiles via hardware buttons. This can be done with making shortcuts to the .exe with setting the specific profile. I'm using this together with MortButtons to switch between my profiles of PocketZenPhone.

Yzord; no it really does work (did you try it ?)
Yes, pressing the power button briefly just turns the screen off ; I think we all know that.
However holding the button down for several seconds will allow you to turn it off completely. = power off; no applications running; no phone or other network connections; zero power consumption, nada.

the best way to stop using magician:
charge battery to 50%
do a backup
pull out battery
pack you magician
several years later
get it out
put in battery
do a restore
charge and use it
(maybe 5% drop one year, so can put aside ten years

It will still lose some power in keeping the RAM filled, if it loses all power (goes very slowly however), all your installed programs and data will be lost. It takes a long time, but it still uses power to keep the RAM chips powered and the clock correct. Furtheremore, with the Magician it keeps the phone and alarms awake, so you can receive calls. You have to turn on flight mode manually to turn the radio off. Also you have to turn off all alarms to prevent your device from waking up. Your method is more like the one used on the Wizard, where holding the power button for 5 seconds really turns everything off and when pressing and holding again makes the Wizard start up again (with boot screen and all).

Also thought of this when I first got my xda mini. Now, after some reading here in the forums, I just switched my xda mini to flight mode before I go to sleep. It turns off the phone. Hope this helps.
Hi Guyz, anyone help me on this one...I need to be able to power off the PDA using software not the hardware on off button - anyone know of a routine for this

search psShutXP
Install Mortscript then use this script. I use it on my Touch. I hate the power buttons on these phones. Except for the Wizard. That was a nicely placed/tactile power button.
Thanks for the responses guys, Can I clarify that I need to power off the unit NOT put it to sleep (hibernate), ie I want to replicate what happens when you press the power button for 4-5 seconds completely power down the unit
Hi guys, I'm looking for a real shut-down software that let me power off my trinity with a click instead of the power button pushed for three seconds.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks
not that i know off
because before wm5 it would result in clearing of all memory
and after it would result in no alarms or calls or other notifications working
while it was off

i'm interested, too....don't care of alarm or other notifications, i just want to poweroff the device without pressing power button for 3 sec.
i too would like this but, as Rudegar has said - No it doesn't exist, it's been discussed before on this forum and i think there were some reasons it is not possible
