A symbol appeared at top of my screen last night and I don't have a clue what it is! It's round and looks like a dial with a needle, look like a Speedo head on a car!
Any clues what And how to move it?
It means your device is in low battery mode.
Disable it in Settings -> Power management

That's the "Low battery mode" indicator icon. There's a toggle switch under power management in the settings to turn it on and off.
Thanks
OP read the Forum Rules, as stated for Rule #1

This is my first pda so please forgive the stupid questions...
1. I am at a loss as to how i can switch off the xdaII completely. I can dim the screen, and switch off the screen, but not the entire xdaII. The bluetooth light and the green light flash continuously, unless i remove the battery catch down.
2. is there a way of getting a better battery indicator at the top, without having to go through the settings menu all the time. I can't seem to create shortcust of any kind.
3. ultra profiler... is it just me... i switch it to silent and it makes no difference.
Thanks...
Why would you want to turn it all the way off? This results in what is known as a "cold boot" - everythng in RAM (even the current date & time) is erased and the phone goes back to the way you bought it.
I don't know how to do it on the XDAII. On the XDA you press a piece of the stylus into a little hole on the bottom.
Fais, on the XDA 1, to switch off both phone and pda, first either hold down the red handset button for a while or tap the signal meter top right of screen and switch off radio/phone, then hit the power button once for a very short time. This will switch off phone and pda. I cant comment on xda2, dont you have a user guide?

Well, you must turn off the PDA part and the telephone part separately. For the PDA part, there's a hardware button (which I guess you knew already... ). To turn off the phone part, tap on the antenna indicator and select the first "link" in the bubble that appears. On an MDA I, the phone could also be turned off by holding the red "hang-up" hardware button for a few seconds. This does not work with the MDA II. It's not clear if this is a bug that will be corrected through a software update or if it's a feature.
Note that all that does not really turn your MDA II completely off. But you don't want that anyway, because you'd lose all your data and installed programs, as they are in RAM only.
There are many programs that can display battery and/or storage indicators on your "today" screen. Try searching for "battery" at Handango. The only program I found so far that indicates the battery status directly in the navigation bar is SmallMenu (http://tillanosoft.com/ce/smenu.html)

1. Tap on the network indicator, on the right middle part of the Navigation Bar (at the top of the screen), then click on "Turn Wireless Off". Then click on the Bluetooth connection on the right side of the command bar (bottom bar), and select OFF. All your flashing lights will go off.
2. Download "BatMemTime" (find it on Google). It is a free today plug-in
3. I don't use ultra profiler. You may try "My Phone Profile" by JGUI, I think it has more features.

Thanks everyone for the replies and links to batt indicators... that was a big help!! i've been so used to the p800 that all this is so new to me... The manual doesn't make it clear for a non-pda user about switching the xdaII off.... not to me anyway.
Tekflow thanks... i can switch off the bt quickly and switch on just as easily now... and more important sleep without having to cover the phone with by jacket at night :roll:
Anyone know if there is a way of displaying the pairing status for a bluetooth headset ? My XDA II used to have a 'system tray' icon.
TIA, Davebo.
press the green phone - its shown on the top right on the phone page, not the today page or status bar.
Righto
Thanks. I was hoping for something on teh Today screen. I have seen the icon on the phone page, but I didn't think of that. It's only one keystroke.
Hi everyone,
I have a big problem with my xda:
Every alert orevents the phone from switching off the light and switching off at all. Only after I click on "close", everything works fine.
The big problem is, when an alert pops up at night, the light stays active til' I confirm the alert and so the battery gets empty.
Is there any idea what's causing this problem?
THX,
MatMike
Its a windows setting...
Yes, I found this too. You need to switch off pretty much all of the alerts in Windows. I found the 'low battery' warning the worst. My battery goes fairly low, then in the middle of the night an alert pops up telling me the battery is low, and the screen stays on until you turn it off, or more likely the battery goes totally flat -doh! Anyway you need to go to "Start", "Settings" "Personal" "Sounds and notifications" and go through all of that list in Notifications to stop them switching the screen on etc. Great set of defaults hey!lol
When I run iGo8 and don't touch the screen for a minute, it seems the device acts as if it was inactive and goes into standby, then I have to turn it back on, unlock the screen and so on..
The only thing I can do right now is to turn off the power management options before launching iGo8 and putting them back on after I finished using it, but there has to be an easier way..
Can anyone help me with this please?
Thanks in advance!
hi!
start igo...--->settings--->more(little arrow on the right bottom side)--->device
there u can switch the power settings.
before u have to switch your general settings form normal to expert.
i use "always on" but then u might have an other issue...try to search for a street, your "a key" might gotta stuck.
you can fix that problem too...just search the forum.
Nevermind, I think it's solved now..
I guess I just had to post the question to be able to find the answer myself
For those who might have the same problem : there is an option for Power management, it was set on "Use Device Settings" instead of "Backlight always on"
I looked in the sys.txt and in every other option but missed that one

Thanks for the quick answer
I had the problem with the aaaa key yesterday but solved it thanks to this forum, so I guess my backlight was on "always on" yesterday?
I don't remember changing that one...
indeed, you have to set the backlight feature inside IGO to "Always On". but then there's another problem - IGO overrides the general backlight settings in Windows Mobile (which I set to more than 40% constant, without the automatic adjustment). I didn't manage to make IGO to not synchronize with the OS backlight settings (tried to add the line "backlight_sync_with_OS=0") but it's a no go.
Each time I launch IGO, it will limit my general backlight settings to 40% for both battery and external power.

It seems it did the same thing for me, except that "Automatically adjust backlight" is still activated, so the 40% Backlight adjustment shouldn't be taken into account.
Is it deactivated for you?
I deactivated the automatic adjustment in order to save some battery, and instead I've set my backlight to 50% while on battery, and 80% while using external power (in my car). I think that there's no known solution for this.
Hello.
I have my desktop dock next to my bed and I'm wondering how to trigger the screen where I get the green clock moving around the screen?
I dont know how its triggered....
I have tried docking the phone while in sleep and while active. And even putting it to sleep while docked but no luck.
(I know there is a button on the clock screen where I can dim the display but I'd prefer just the green clock instead.)
I hope you know what I mean and can help me figure out how to trigger it when my phone is docked.
Thanks.
Long press the dim button on the clock screen will trigger the green/black mode.
Love you!!! Thanks. =)
Hmm.. Another follow up question.. The four navigation buttons at the bottom. How do I turn those off, if possible?

another question...how do you keep it from going into sleep mode with the green clock...i like the clock with the weather all the time, but it goes into sleep mode after a few minutes..
You can't... nor do you want to. That "green clock" is the screen saver mode. IIRC, it moves around on the screen so we don't get burn in.

Date does not change on Screen Saver mode...
Hi,
I'm not sure it's the CM Mod, since I only ran the stock ROM for 1 day.
When on desktop dock and screen saver is on (green screen), say it's 11:00 PM Thursday April 29.
The time stays current, but the the Date does not change on screen saver.
So 3 hours later, it's 2:00 AM, Still Thursday April 29.
The date only adjusts if I leave screen saver mode and go to dock mode.
Um... For my N1, the green/black clock turns on automatically after about a minute or so of the "clock" screen showing. Perhaps the light-sensor triggers it, not sure.. but I just launch the clock app, tap the "dim" button and in about 1-2 minutes it switches to green clock.
P.S: I don't use the google's dock, I use some chinese one with micro-usb, not the 3 "dots" connector.
I've been doing the same as darkdvr...launch the clock app, tap the "dim" button and in a few minutes it switches to green clock.
I've been using the ROM in my signature for about a week, and it never goes to the green clock automatically, which is kind of annoying. Anyone know why? I've asked in the thread for that ROM twice but no one even seems to acknowledge my question.
led hack
I had been using LED Hack on enom's 1.9 and it worked great to dim the 4 lower bottons. When I upgraded to Froyo 2.2 I wiped everything before installing and the 4 buttons at the bottom still dim when I put the phone in the doc. I just figured it was one of the improvements with Froyo. It's not that way for everyone? I never redownloaded the LED Hack.
I pointed it out weeks ago on the "Froyo changes" thread but no one seemed to notice. It's about the only major thing I wanted changed on my N1. ;-)
The clock app has 4 modes
Full with weather (default)
Dim with weather (press the sun symbol)
Green "LED" bright (hold sun symbol, or wait) <- this mode has the 4 leds lit
Green "LED" dim (press sun, then hold) <- on Froyo the 4 leds are off
The green led mode may timeout, to stop this just plug in a power source.
