JAM does not turn off after being turned off

If I check in "Settings-System-Power-Advanced-On battery power" to turn my JAM off if it is not used for some time (e.g. 3 minutes), it goes off and then I can not turn it on. I tried to push/hold power button, nothing helped but soft reset. If I turn my JAM off manually by pushing power button I can turn it back on manually too. But after 3 or 4 times it acts just like it was turned off automatically, i.e. iregardless if I push or hold power or any button, LED flashes green and the phone does not turn on. The worst part of it is after I push Power button trying to turn my JAM on and LED indicator starts flashing green (and JAM still remains off) if somebody tries to call me he hears the signal as if my phone is ringing (not busy signal or "The number you dial is not available right now" etc.)
Does anybody know what the problem can be? I've got this problem even after hard reset with no third-party applications installed.

non functioning of on/off switch
Check the connectors of your battery on the inside of the JAM. I had the same problem and I found out that one of the connectors did not really "touch" the battery.

I checked it. The contacts on the battery look like they were scratched by contacts on the phone, so I'd think the connectors are in good contact. I even tried to put a small piece of paper between the battery and phone bodyon the left side to make sure it is really pushed to another side, it did not help either

JAM does not turn on after being turned off
Did anyone ever find out the answer to this??! I have the same problem with mine except it's a bit random - mostly doesn't turn back on again after an auto power off for a long(ish) period of time - like at night.

sounds like a possible fault is occurring. Best thing is to do a full backup of your system and then do a hard reset your device and see if the same thing is still happening. If it is, try the positioning of battery as suggested in earlier posts and if still happening, then a handheld service is required

Screen and Buttons Lock Software

Hi. I'm using screen guard (from pocketmax) but I have some problems with this software. It does its job great concerning the key and screen locking, but this software drains my battery really fast because it doesn t really power off the ppc as it auto activates back when you push the unlocking keys (without need to push the power button). It s really useful when your progs connect to gprs or when you listen to mp3 because the device continues to work as normal. BUT...there is this battery drain (in 7 hours it goes from 100% to 10%), so I d like to know if anybody out there is using a key/screenlock software which doesn t really power off the ppc but which doesn t drain as much battery as screen guard does.
Thx by advance!

Stop accidental key presses?

Anyone have a solution for this? I have my Wizard go to standby after a short time and always make sure it is in standby when I put in in my case. However, when I receive a call and pull it out of the case, I almost always press one of the buttons. So when I answer the phone I have the camera going, contacts open or the connection manager open. I use all the buttons so I don't want to disable them completly. I wash there was a way to disable all buttons except the answer button for like 5 seconds after a call starts ringing. Or, be able to set buttons to not activate unless pressed for 2 seconds or so. Or, require 2 presses to activate. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Turn on the password (4 digit one is fine) and set to 0 minutes, the phone will "lock" as soon as you go into standby but when it rings you will be able to answer with the red/green buttons but nothing else until you put in your password.

Thanks, I will give that a try. I used a password before but it slowed things down so much that I removed it. I have done quite a bit of optimizing since then and will try it once more.

it does slow the use, and gets annoying (i still use it) but it does work until i find a decent app to do it. All it really needs is 2 touches or 2 buttons to unlock but not found anything yet... \

I have solved this with litle less work .I have Device lock Bar on the top, under date , so you need twice down and middle buton to lock the
device.

device lock doesn't seem to play well with the password application. if you have password activated you can do a device lock but when you put your device on standby and bring it to full power it is unlocked. if you use device lock without password it works.

any solution to lock keyboard during a call ? i always active some functions with my ears(...) when i speak

starseb - switch your phone to stand-by mode... the radio (phone part) should remain on, and you can continue calling. Then just switch it back on when done ( or not %) )

sorry for my english, but i make i make a mistake. i would say how to lock screen during a call.

Is there a good way to unlock by pressing just keys?

Try christoph's deltaLock map it to a hw button then set it to be unlocked by the same hw button.

Hardreset and try, if not reflash ROM
Good luck,

Hard Reset I tried earlier but did´nt work.

You do realise the SPV doesn't actually 'switch off' ?
Your power button will merely switch the display off and send the unit into sleep mode. If you want it 'off' you'll need to pull the battery and put it back in. The unit won't power up again until you press the power button.
Sometimes my screen goes blank, other times I can still see the text etc.
I started to use a shutdown exe from my Wizard. It seems to do a better job.
At least, when my Uni is connected to Windows Mobile Device Center, I hit the power button and the backlight goes off, WMDC stays connected. If I use the Wizard's exe it disconnects.
Attached for you to try anyway.

Thanks
If I understund right, this PDA can turn off only with removing battery thats stranger

I've never understood the reasoning behind it either. I suppose you have to consider that it was probably always intended for people to use these as their main phone (I don't - never have) and most people never turn their phones off. I know my main phone is never off. Still, it DOES have the option to turn it off if need be, whereas the SPV only has a sleep and flight mode.
Did you try the exe?

GPS Turns off in sleep mode

Hello i've a question about the gps module in the diamond 2.
I sometimes use rungps on my mountainbike but when i use the button above on the hardware to turn the screen off, also my gps turns off. How can i fix this problem? Is there a solution to use gps in stand by mode or something?
I've this phone for a short time so... when people do have tips for other handy software, you're welcome

Just use this Tool to switch your screen off.

Weird. I use Rungps as well, but no problem so far of losing signal after pressing the button. It happens with TomTom; if I press the button, the signal is lost.
