Even Microsoft can't give a proper answer for this, sadly.

I just created a separate power profile for this scenario.

microsoft answer was really stupid

Keeping GPRS Allways Alive On WM2005

GB Tweak does not work on Windows Mobile 2005 Does anyone know of a hack that will keep GPRS on as "connected" like GB Tweak can do for BA's, Alpines, and Hemalaya's? Help!!!! It sucks that gprs disconnects when you are not actively using it.

Use phone alarm 1.22 .Tested working on WM 5.0 on Himalaya and BA
To KCA
I use AIM (This AIM switches the Taskbar to bottom)
Install, Run, go to setup and select Keep Connection Alive, Sign-On
I then press the Windows Logo and hit today and have AIM in the Background to KCA The longest I stayed on so far is 26 hours. It bumped it off cause I hit activesync
Doesn't work. For windows mobile 2005
?
I have it running on WM2005 Sx66

Hdubli,
I couldnot get the latest version of phone alarm to work on WM5 on my BA. Or do you mean to say that only 1.22 is working on it and not the newest beta.
Thanks.
Hemant.

Connected for 44 hours so far
Is there any other fix?
For those of us who do not have (or don't use) AIM accounts, is there another fix to keep GPRS always on?
Thanks,
Fernando
i have installed GB-SOFT Tweak but i want the GPRS to turn off when i disconnect. I cannot do that though. Does the GB-SOFT Tweak really work?
aim download
tried to download the cab direct to jasjar but the filename is download.php even if I change filename the ext .php remains.
any ideas ?
I'm curious about this as well.
I miss the fact that you could manually connect to gprs. Now you have to launch the application and let it connect.
If anyone found a way to manually connect and stay connected please let us know.
Thanks
has anybody found a solution for this ? to keep GPRS allways on ?

GPRS Monitor lets you connect, but yeah, I'd love something to keep alive. The GPRS-On Tweak did exactly what it said on the tin.

Install it, and let us know if it works with WM5.0, or if it mucks up your system.

Application that will power device OFF and ON using schedule

Is there application that will power device OFF and ON using scheduled times.
Let's say 10PM OFF 5AM back ON ?
Can't find anything like that for WM6
Thanks
scheduled reset
maybe this one is useful ? But i think you'll have to enter your pin when the phone has done the softreset....
cheers
edit....
ooops....sorry, you want to start some hours later (should have read more exactly...), this app isn't that you're searching for. this one will reboot immediately
Thanks for trying
My Nortel phone 8 years ago was able to do that but I can't find any software with this feature
If the goal is to avoid any phone call between those hours, then you can use phoneAlarm or PhoneWeaver or something else which can switch profile at specified time. So at 10pm switch to "night" profile and 5am switch to normal profile.

It is not a big deal to shut down the phone on schedule, but to bring it back on is *I believe* impossible. It is like shutting down your pc. Once shutdown there is no software running on it. Therefore, even if you had a software that is supposed to turn on the phone, it wouldn't be working once the phone is turned off.
Try diZ
www.connectivetools.com/sleepwell.html >Connective Tools - SleepWell It was ment f0r smartphone but m0st Probely w0rk f0r ppc and itz free
for "phone" only, you might like to try "PhoneTimer" shared in this forum.
for "power", try "addin timer3" instead.
both apps are "free"
There must be part of the phone that is powered when off. ( bios)
The time is still correct when you turn it back on .... no ?

psShutXP will power off at specified time, and I believe there is an app posted somewhere with an auto run tool, which you may be able to use to do this. Either way, your not going to have it power on by itself.
tried many things but all of the "power off" applications are only switching my hp614c to standby mode. but i'm looking for the app/script that should switch device off completely, as i would hold power button down for a few secs. I want to schedule such turnoff for every night. I had this feature in siemens m65 a few years ago why cant I do it with wm6 pc?
Thread will be moved to Q&A section.

--------------> IS there a program to auto switch on the device??

Does exist a program that switch on automatically the device??
Please, I need it...
Is someone developing something like this??
Or is there a way to make the pocket pc automatically switch on??
THANK YOU!!
an alarm would switch it on

I have already try with the original HTC alarm, but when the pocket pc is switched off (and I mean "shut down"), it doesn't switch on it....
What program are you talking about?
Thank you....
If the device is "shut down" how should a program be able to run?

But think about a simple mobile phone that switch on itself when an alarm is running....
Have you any idea about a program that can switch on the pocket pc??
Or a option that make the pocket pc start...
Don't you think that it is something like a reboot?

Your simple mobile phone if it is waking up on an alarm can't be off totally, more like in a standby state.
Why would you want to turn it fully off and then turn on at a predetermined time, surely leaving it on would be far more sensible.....?
No is a simple answer to your question and I seriously doubt if any of the developers we have here would even waste more than a second ruling it out...if it's off it's off.....if the screen is off it is in a quasi standby state...
I would be interested in the same thing
powering my phone off and on using schedule.
I had Nortel phone about 8 years ago that was able to do this.
Great feature.

I turn off it because I can't leave it running everytime, day and night, for days....
So if a program that switch on the device would exist, I'll be very happy.
Have you any idea about that??
Thank you for the interest!

I hoped in someone that support my request....
I don't know exactly why a program like this doesn't exist...
Every mobile phone has this function, and you can also make your PC (yes, our desktop pc) start up at a setted hour.... and this is avaible also for mobile phones...
So why we don't improve this feature on our pocket pc??
So anyone has a solution??
try this
i don't use it anymore but if i remember correctly it does just what you are asking - it is in french but very simple to understand - someone had an english translation too - again if I'm not mistaking

But I have tried it just now..
And don't work when the pocket pc is shut down..
It works only if the pocket pc is turned on...

Any help??

I think I understand your problem, I can't see a solution. But have you considered buying a spare battery, higher capacity ones are available for most devices from ebay.
Try "Addin Timer 3", a free sortware!

But I don't want to leave my pocket pc running every time, without any pause.....
I don't think if it's usefull or not to turn off the pocket pc every day, but I'm sure that if you make your device run everytime, for dayd and days, this isn't healthy for it......

I have to say I'm puzzled that no one is working on software like that ...
Anyway, I'm even having hard time to find software that will turn off
the phone on predetermined schedule. Most having only count down to shutdown
sorry can't help you...
all i have to say is you might like to try harder....
I have to say I tried it as well but find it a bit confusing
How do you make it run in the background ?
Is there any documentation for it ?
Thanks

Lock/unlock

Hi guys
Can you help me!
Bad English, but I hope you understand.
I need a keylock to my phone.
So I can lock/unlock it. ( Like Iphone)
Its a problem when I have my phone in my pocket!
Anyone?
Thanks
The phone has one as standard.
If you want one like the iPhone, search for S2U2.

I guess you don't bother searching or reading, do you? There's a link on the developer's page saying "Read me first". If you click that then you'll find full instructions.
If you do not want to use 3rd party software, I suggest you use the built-in one.
Just hold the most right button a few seconds... (or read also the manual of the phone)
I also use this method, it is fine and I can preserve more power.
Before that, I also use S2U2, and I remove it after 1 day trail.
When I put the machine aside, HD will lock after 30s, then the screen will goes off in another 30s, the beautiful S2U2 screen saver will only survive for no more than 1 minutes.
When I pull the stylus out, it will automatically unlock, so I got no point to use S2U2......and most important, after using it, the battery goes very fast.
I have a full charge before sleep (100%), when I wake up in the next day, only 89% battery left......

I have also used S2U2 and had problem with the power leak but then switched to pocket shield which was great, I even wrote a post about it somwhere in this forum... but after some time with pocket shiel it showed 2 very annoying problems. One was that somehow it totally messed up my galarm application to the point it didn't ring the phone alarm at all (I was very pissed of). Since I am a good man I decided to give it one more chance so I uninstalled galarm and used standard windows alarm app... unforutnately this misworked same way- no alarm, this time i was smart enough to test it. Second thing was that pocket shield was messing start menu in my phone - making it disapear until restart, whenever appointment reminder would start...so this is why I dumped pocket shield and moved back to the simplest standard windows lock function
using s2u2, I like the feature, "keylock: do not lock buttons." I installed keylock.cab, but no effect. There is another way?

Cortana development

You are aware that Microsoft is doing this, she will be on the X box in 2015 I believe and sometime this year or next on windows 8
