Flight-Mode problem

i was testing the Flight-Mode tool. when i switched it on it works. but when i tried to switch it off it didn't do anything. i tried to switch it off a couple of times and still wouldn't work. i just recently upgraded my ROM to this : K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship. does anyone have the same problem as me?

I have the same issue -- the only way I can get out of flight mode is to soft reset.

yea. i did a soft reset and tried switching on & off the flight mode again. it still won't turn off the flight-mode. so i had to soft reset it again.

Yep -- each time I go into flight mode, I have to soft reset in order to get out. A rather minor inconvenience, but an inconvenience nonetheless. I wonder if anyone else has this issue?

if you guys have a pin code for the phone.
turn off flight mode, then go to phone and write in your pin code then the flightmode goes off.

pin?? hmm i dont think i've created a pin for my phone. what if you don't have a pin? what should you do?

hum, then i acctually don't know sorry this way works for me

Hmm. I don't have any trouble switching flight mode on and off and never have. When turning FM off the phone asks for my sim pin and then locks onto the signal within 15 seconds.
Perhaps you have a 3rd party app interfearing somewhere?
For your info I have a K-Jam with standard shipped rom.
Apps currently installed:
Pocket informant 2005
WiFiFoFum
MS Voice command
PPC Profiles Pro
Check Notifications
Total commander
PHM Regedit
Pocket weather
TCPMP media player
I also did some of the reg hacks posted on HoFo and here.

I don't use a pin code.

I, too, do not use the PIN code, but I get in and out of flight mode with no problems at all (I have a K-Jam).
Do you wait at least 10-20 seconds after you turn flight mode off before thinking that it is not working? It takes that long before it activates the SIM and gets back the signal.

hey, guess wat... it works heheh i waited about 15 secs or so heheh. but previously it didnt work heheh

Just be patient - don't expect things to happen instantly.
10-15 seconds is reasonable.
I've not experienced any problem with the FM. just be patient

Why alarm doesn't wake me up if Xperia is off?

Hello! I'm new but I have a big problem. In the enening when I go to bed I often turn off my Experia so I'm not interrupted at night and I can save my baterry. But the problem is that alarm in the morning doesn't want to ring and doesn't want to turn Xperia on back. I found recently the page on the web where somenoe said that it needs to be doen some hidden tweaks so that the WM doesn't try to look how full the baterry is before it sturts up. I can't find that page on the web again so can someone help me with this settings?
Than you.

use flight mode.
x1 cant wake up when off

I don't think any Windows Mobile phone is capable of waking itself up when it's powered down.

you probably use just as much power turning the phone on as you would have used leaving it in stand by..... just sayin'

OK, so I have tried flight mode and it works but anyway does anyone know the hidden settings to change verifiing battery from wm before it turns on again?
Oh, and another problem on my Xperia. I noticed that when I don't use it the screen (backlight) aproximetely every once in 2 minutes turns on again (my power settings are: turn backlight off after 30 sec, standby mode after 1 minute). I think that why battery last only 3 days. Can anyone know how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Change your configuration : Settings / system/ ilumination (check here the items you have enable or disable "enable ilumination".

Well basically, your device is off when you turn turn off the screen.

Not quite. You can always leave a lot of applications running with the screen off.

So what kind of setting to save as much as it can for battery or what kind of app du you recomend?

First, as someone already said, a WM device can not turn itself on when powered down.
To conserve battery... well just make sure no CPU intensive apps are running in the background, wifi, BT, data connection are off and use auto backlight setting.

Most smartphones don't turn themselves on for alarm (WM, UIQ Symbian, S60 Symbians), but i can't tell for all (iPhone does as i've heard, no idea about Android).

PDA is not Mobile Phone.
It has operation system etc.
To run PDA you need about 1 minute for loading all components of OS.
To run Mobile Phone Alarm needs no load components of OS, just display and sound.
In PDA sound can be played with help of driver and so on.
In Mobile Phone just tiny assembler program and clock-chip.

I know my alarm worked before with Touch-It rom. But since I flashed with WM6.5 and my alarm doesn't go off when the screen is off. There's no way around this?

I can't trust the alarm at all, it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Same on stock rom and 6.5. G-alarm is much better though..

Are you talking about turning the phone off completely,or turning off to the standby stage ? If you use the standby stage, it works fine, and hardly uses any power in this mode.

Diamond 2 wont turn off... Wakes up after 5-10 sec.

Suddenly, my diamond won’t turn off.
After 5-10sec its on again. What is waking him up?
Also sometimes I have problems with locking. If I press the lock button sometimes it will just vibrate. It wont lock.
I have to do it via applications/lock.
This is draining my battery very fast.
I already tried hard reset. No change.
Latest 6.5 stock rom.
Please advice.

Very very strange problem, especially after reading that you are on stock ROM and after hard reset... Now that's sounds like a hardware problem to me, to more observing and if it it really stays like that I'd send it for warranty repair. Sorry bud don't know any other solution

Download TD2 Tools and set it to connect to your power button.
Then uncheck wake up on new SMS.
Also check your power settings and make sure the device will sleep after however long you choose.

Screensaver that powers off screen but leaves device running?

Hi,
I've searched for several hours now in these forums and on Google, with no success.
I need an app that leaves the device switched on, but powers off the screen.
In settings/power I can dim the screen, but there is no setting to dim it completely or just switch it off.
I've found screensavers that can show a blank screen, but the screen is still actually powered up, just showing a black image presumably.
I've found apps that can switch off the screen. But you have to manually click on them to switch off the screen.
Does anyone know of a screensaver that after a set interval will leave the device running, but power off the screen please?
Suspend is no good, the device must be up and running apps.
Thanks for your help.

What apps are you trying to "keep running"? The only thing that might be an issue when the screen goes into it's normal sleep mode is that audio will stop outputting, and wifi connections will suspend, but there's cabs available here to easily get around both of those (and keep them going even when the screen shuts off).

Well, it's actually to solve another long-running problem that has made me almost lose the will to live....
Alarms don't go off reliably on my TP2.
Sometimes, randomly, the alarm doesn't go off until I press the power button to wake it up. The the alarm instantly goes off. So, if I set an alarm for 6am, sometimes the phone wakes up and the alarm sounds, sometimes not. And if I switch the phone on manually sometime later, at 6:15 say, the 6am alarm sounds then.
It will work fine for a few days, then fail.
It happened on WM6.1 and still continues after upgrading to WM6.5.
I have spent countless hours googling and searching XDA-Dev. I have tried probably ten different alarm apps, with no luck. I have hard-reset various times. I have tried various recommended registry tweaks. I've tried checking the notification queue regularly for any errors. I've tried so many different suggestions, for example, never pressing the power button to turn the phone off, only ever let it hibernate automatically. Warm-resetting it each day. And the list goes on.
So, I'm experimenting with just leaving the phone on forever. But turning the screen off at night to save power / not shorten the life of the screen hardware.
Which leads me to the question about screensavers which actually power off the screen automatically after a set delay. Just like a normal screensaver on a PC.
It's hard to easily convey the frustration I have for the TP2. An excellent phone. But a phone which I can't trust to do the simplest thing: to wake me up in the morning?
It'll end up in the bin at some point very soon now.....

A suggestion
Hi,
In my opinion there must be an application, change or customisation that is leading you to those problems. My suggestion is, to perform a sync towards any computer or server to keep your contacts, then, hard reset and keep the phone with the factory defaults for a while. Then, test the phone's alarms and if all is okay, add one by one your applications and changes, testing the alarms in between. Please do that on the official ROM (whatever 6.5 or 6.1) but official one. You will flash if needed later on.
I know it will be a pain, but you will find the problem.
I am using a TP2 with stock WM6.5 ROM. I have not had yet any issue with the alarms. However, I remember to have had those kind of problems before with WM 5.0 and 6.1. There were always related to freeware applications, customisations, no official ROMs, registry hacks and restored backups done from older builds upon upgrade. The alarm bug in old WM version was also known, but I have not experienced it on newer versions.
There can be some issues with the notification database by times, but as said above, it is almost every time due to customisations.
I am not saying that we should keep our phones without applications, third party software, cooked ROMs, customisation etc. But the goal is to find out what is the reason, and believe me. It is the best if not only way.
If you post the list of applications and hacks that you have in your phone, I can try to see if there is any I could identify like guilty one, based on my own experience.
Complementary, I recommend you to install and use these two applications in attachment. They have worked for me on WM5, 6, 6.1 and 6.5 so far. They are freeware and therefore you can use them without problems.
Good luck!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. All very good advice. I'll have a go when I've got some free time again. In the meantime, has anyone come across a screensaver that actually powers off the screen please?
Thanks again.

do you turn your ringer to silent or vibrate when you go to bed? if so,
go to start/settings/clocks&alarms/more and make sure that the "sound alarms box" is checked. this will make sure that even if your phone ringers/alerts are off, your alarm will ring. also, if you charge your phone while you sleep, go to the backlight settings and uncheck the "turn screen off on ac power" box. if you cant sleep with the phone light on, set it to max dim on ac power and flip it over. i always had this issue when i had the tmobile wing.

S2U2 on this forum.

try g alarm.it worked perfect for me with tilt

I have similar Issues with my TP2;
I notice that it is more to do with HIBERNATING than screen off.
My TP2 has go to the point where allowing it to go to hibernation means Screen of Death.
Overnight I charge it and do not let the screen go off and it seems ok (so far).
Guess I will have to Hard reset and test my freeware.
Cheers

I had the exact same problem. When the phone goes to sleep, it is ASLEEP. I didn't use the alarm too much but the phone would never notify me when SMS arrived. I'd hit the power switch to check, and bam, three messages arrive at once, some from hours ago. Immensely frustrating, but the problem went away when I installed Energy rom.

Possible to simply turn screen off rather than putting phone to sleep?

I'm wondering if it's possible to use the red hang up button to ONLY turn the screen off and not put the phone into sleep mode?
The reason for this is that 9/10 times i put the phone into sleep, when i wake it up my data connection is dead and i have to rest ir through settings, very frustrating.
Thanks for any help.

Bump, I too want to know this.

my hd2 doesnt disconnect data connections when its standby. what rom are you using?
and i really think you dont want to put the phone to be awake all the time it costs a lot of energy to do that

Download the autolock disable cab.

Stock T-Mobile USA rom
I know it would tax the battery, but this problem is really really driving me crazy. I love the phone but having to reset the data connection 15-20 times a day is becoming a real deal killer for me.

Have tried just locking via start button then lock
