Hey,
On my JAMin I have the option in settings to stop any button from bringing it back when I've turned the screen off by tapping the power button (or whatever actually happens when you do that). Among the many things that annoy me about the HP firmware, I've found that the RW6828s also don't have this option in settings. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks,
James
I'm really sorry to bump, but this is a huge pain.
Does anyone have any idea on this?
press and hold red buton... the other buton will be locked
I have problem with power button. when push pwr button dont,t off pda, but when hold pwr then lights off.
Power is never shut off in PDAs, thats the way PDAs have been designed.
I have the same problem, he is not talking about a full power down. If you hit the power button quickly the phone does nothing. However if you hold the power button down for about 2-3 seconds the lcd light turns off as it should.
Because of this I have to wait 1 minute for the unit to suspend before putting it back in the holster.
Does anybody have any idea as to why this might be happening. Im not new at this so hard reset, soft reset.. new rom... new radio...turning up side down while chanting. It does not change......
It will do it right one or twice in a week.
Maybe somebody that understands the signal that the unit receives upon pressing the power button might be able to shed some light on this.... Again the button does seem to operate just not suspend when pressed normally (1 second or less)
I have done some more research and this seems to be a common problem for some with BAs but nobody has found out why. There must be some kind of common hardware fault.. Does the power button send only one signal or is it a multi signal device.

Do you have a problem with turning on? First, we need to know whether it is hardware issue or not...
What you can do in the mean time with the turning off problem is by installing a poweroff app like shutdownme, psshutxp, etc etc...
Absolutely no problem with turning on from standby... Right now i just lock the phone before placing it back in the holster.
To make it clearer if you HOLD the power button down the backlight will turn off only. It will still show the display image and keys will still function (it dims)
Well, I had the same issue with the latest WM5 ROM. I thought I was too stupid to press the button, then I thought the button was broke, then I thought, I'll have to live with it.
Now that I have flashed to WM6, no problems at all! Never even came to my mind that this problem once existed. So I guess that some ROMs just have this particular bug?

I have tried all the roms as well as 2003 and have the same issue in all of them. And im not alone.
Power off Problem
I'm in same condition.
Had the same problem when using WM2003 second Ed.
Now I've installed WM6 but nothing changed:
I cannot power-off/suspend but can turn off backlight if press and hold power button.
When in standby the button works fine to turn on the device.
Also, sometimes volume turns up continously with "noisy" beep ...
Anybody solved this problems?
Thanks,

Power button has two modes:
1. Click mode: Click it once for a short duration. This turns off backlight and can be resumed by pressing it again or by pressing OK button
2. Press and Hold mode: Press and hold for few seconds and release. This mode will dim the backlight and no other button will bring it back. This is some kind of deep sleep in battery mode. To resume the original setting, press and hold Power button again for few more seconds.
(p.s.: I am not sure if this behavior is true for all the BA models)
April 1,
I know these modes...
It seems that "mode 1" doesn't work at all...
I would activate "Button Lock" (settings-->button--> Lock(tab)--> "lock all buttons except power button") to turn-off backlight and "lock all buttons except power button" but I cannnot...
You solved this problem?
I have had this issue of not being able to power off. One way I always got out of it was by clearing the registry hive. Unfortunately this brings the PDA back to the basic ROM. At this point the power button worked without any issues. Upon reloading the software the problem may come back. I believe the issue is related to some programs. I can't recall which program it was that seemed to cause the issue. One other thing I think that also worked was just entering the registry and getting back out and doing a hard reset.
I had the same problem with my 6600. the message button also didn't work. Believe it or not, to fix it. I banged the lower half (4-way area) on my desk a few times. Not hard enough to break the screen. But prolly hard enough to free what was prolly a sticky key. And now everything is working.
i am too
the same ...
when i press the power quickly , nothing happen
when i press the power for 2 sec. the backlight turns off
i tried every thing .... including formatting my BA
any one solve it ???
I have this same problem, my power button does`t work. i tried installing different roms but without any chance to fix it. maybe its an mechanic issue. i will change pwr button, i hope this work.
Look at one of my previous posts. I fixed it, twice, and other users have used the same metod to fix it. I think the problem is "hung bit" hardware related because you can also send it in for service, and they will change a chip, but i never had to.
well my wing has never had any serious problems but about three days ago when i was sending an sms and pressed the W button the volume goes all the way doen to silent but now it goes down to silent without pressing anything at all and prevents me doing anything ive reset the phone to factory mode anyone have any ideas what i can do?
try using anoth rom if anything call tmobile
i dont think changing the rom is gonna fix it and tmobile wants me to pay for another phone because of my warranty which isnt up with them but up with assurion
Does this only happen once or all the time? Mine seems to be stuck scrolling down until a button is pushed - like the down button is being held down each time it powers on.
Edit - It seems that it is the volume button that is causing the issue for me. It seems the up works, but pressing it down tends to do nothing and each time the phone is reset or turned back on the volume will go down and with the sound turned on for each key press you heard it beeping constantly.
Hi there
I seemed to have got myself into trouble. My HD Touch has locked itself.
I restored a backup from SPB Backup, it has asked for a password and I have tried both passwords which I had on the system and without any result.
I have also tried to perform a hard reset using the power keys and the pressing the two volume buttons but I held onto them for over 5 minutes without any result.
Has anyone got any other ideas how I can get back into the phone?
Thanks
Kaid
A hard reset is press and hold power to turn off.
Then press and hold both volume buttons, whilst holding the volume buttons press and release the power button.
Once the boot screen is visible release the volume buttons and follow the on-screen instructions.
Thank You - Relief
Mild panic was beginning to set in here as I thought I had f**ked up a very expensive phone.
Back in business!
Cause of lock..
Hi,
Any idea on what the cause of the lock was?
If you use pushmail you're pushmail provider (mostly work) may have a policy which requires a password. They can remotely activate this..
If this was the case, google for "Zenyee Stay Unlock" works great for me..
Regards.

So a push-mail provider is able to totally lock my device? Another reason not to make use of this service .
hey, i accidentally broke my lock/unlock button a few days back. it still works however it very difficult for me to press it cause its kinda stuck inside. so i was just wonder is there any solution to this problem? i was thinking like if there was a way to assign one of the volume buttons as the unlock button when its locked or something.. please help me
