Easy way to turn off the phone?

Is there an easy way to turn off the phone? Only way I figured out so far, is by tapping on the GSM icon on the top, and then selecting flight mode. This is really cumbersome compared to a regular phone where you just press the power button. There has to be an easier way..?

Hold the power button down? That will turn off the whole device. As for turning off just the GSM radio... I think the way you mentioned is the only way.

thx.. that was easy.. coming from regular phones, a lot of things work differently now -- slowly getting a grip on them.

It does seem a bit silly that the Communications Manager doesn't let you control the GSM radio as well as WiFi/Bluetooth/Audio.

If you have voice command, simply press your designated button and say "flight mode on"

I guess when holding the power button 5 secs to turn it off completely, alarms and reminders also won't work (haven't tried that yet, though)? So what I would actually want to do over the night is just turn off the gsm phone, but leave the pda part running.. So the easiest way to use flight mode is the best...

I hit the button on my Bluetooth Headset and said "flight mode on", but now when I hit the button on my headset I don't get the voice command prompt..... :roll:

Oh... Flight mode turns off the Bluetooth so my bluetooth headset couldn't find the phone... A definite RTFM event

The QTEK 9100 Comm Manager does have a button to turn on/off the GSM radio and is what I use all the time. I don't know why the K-JAM has a worthless volume on/off option when all you have to do is hold down the Comm Manager button to toggle this function. Maybe someone can figure out a way to get the 9100 Comm Manager on the K-JAM.

No, the Qtek comm manager doesnt. From top to bottom it has:
Wifi
Bluetooth
Sound/vibrate
Activesync
That is all.

just tested and you are correct, however if you go into comms manager you can manualy turn blue tooth back on?
or at least you can still use the voice button on the side to use voice command

Try out pocketzenphone.
It is very cheap and works on every platform, wm5.0 included. If you use the tray version and assign it to a HW butto you can turn your phone off simply pushing that button.
www.pocketzenphone.net
Hurry up downloading the beta release as it is time limited to october 30th and the developer is releasing it, so the beta will be removed.

Dang, the preproduction QTEK 9100 I have does have it in the Comm Manager. I just got the production 9100 I ordered and it has the Comm Manager like the K-JAM.
What does someone here need to hack this and get the preproduction Comm Manager working on the 9100 and K-JAM for us?

Probably nothing more than the .exe file from the pre-production unit! Upload to the forums!

Hello Robinton,
How could you use Voice Command from your BT Headset ?
For me, it doesn't work ! I always need to press button on the device.

I used BeyondTheTech's instructions for installing voice command on the K-Jam (Don't forget to do the registry change, that's what let's you use the headset button) Instructions are near the bottom of his blog, but don't forget to read the rest as this guy has some great advice and has done an excelent job of rounding up the 'must know' stuff.

Note that for the voicecommand to work your device has to be in the 'on' state (At least that has been my experience )

Guys.... a screen shot of the Comm manager on the Jasjar.... I knew I'd seen it some where recently....

To Robinton,
Thank you very much for your usefull help !

Faulty Power Button. Phone can't turn off. (Resolved).

My phone all of a sudden wont turn off. It all works fine just the power button does not work anymore. I can't turn off the screen by pressing the button once and I can't turn off the phone by holding the button down. If I take the battery out and then put it in the phone automatically boots up so it sounds like the button is stuck in the "on" position.
So now I have to leave the phone in gsm mode with, screen brightness low and auto screen turn off set to off because if the screen goes off i can't turn it on again. What a pain.
I did notice a droplet of water by the speaker when i removed the back cover but God knows how it got in there.
Anything I can do? Bought the phone second hand. Will HTC repair it?

you can use this so that all of your buttons will work to wake up your phone: http://www.fuzemobility.com/wake-up-your-fuze-without-the-power-key/
That fixes half of your problem
The other possibility is testing what a long press does- if you do a long press of power does it prompt you with a warning that it is going to turn off? If so you can remap a long press of the power button to an app that will turn off the screen.
PM me if you need help as I may not see your response here.

Thank you so much! I could kiss you

If the screen goes off removing the sylus brings it back to life if thats any help

i was just about to say, removing the stylus turns the screen on, well it does on my dads and soon to be (tomorrow) mine.

Yes I now remove the stylus to turn on my phone. Now I need another way to turn off the screen with out of course using the power button. Any ideas. At the moment I am using a long process of the action screen, shutdown, then turn of screen prcedure. There must be a quicker way or a single button press.

Can't remember if AE Button Plus has an option to assign any key to turn phone to standby/screen off.

I have a similar prob, the light on my power switch stopped working, and another weird thing is that remove the stylus doesn't perform wakeup. Any ideas?

Roadrunner100, HD comes with 2 styli. Did U try the second one?

tboy2000, try blowing over the power switch crevices with blower of a vacuum cleaner or a air compressor (in case of compressor U should be sure that it does not spit out any oil drops).

Thanks,
Actually tried both styli, what worked was the advice you gave tboy2000, blowing over the orifice, amazing how much pocket fluff got in there...

I tried blowing and using a hairdryer. No luck so far. Will try vacum cleaner next.
Maybe I need to take it apart and take out the button and replace it after cleaning around it. Is this advisable? Is there a manual of how to take it apart?

If you are still having difficulties using power button you can always use the following little app TouchOff
Copy the english files to location you saved app. i.e. if you saved app to storage card (recommended) copy files within folder to Storage Card > Program Files > Touch Off > Skins > DefaultVGA and replace files in that folder

That's just too weak for it. Need a powerful jet of air.. It has to go through those small crevices. Also hold your HD firmly and over a soft surface to avoid damage due to an accidental fall.

If U don't mind voiding warranty you can use the manual to open it. I don't know a way of removing those 'void' tabs non destructively.. For the usual tamper proof stickers hairdryer does a good job to remove it intact easily.

Well I tried a vacum cleaner to no joy. It still does not want to turn off. Permantly stuck on ON position so it does work but not properly.
I use AE Button manager to map the volume button to turn on and off the screen. Will look at manual and see if it is something I want to consider.
Thanks for all the info and help. I have contributed two wiki entries for the Blackstone so it is nice to get some help back.
Any more ideas always welcome to fix this power button.

tboy2000 Is it the button or the lever over the button that is stuck?

See the pic. You can separate the lever from the underlying button if lever is moving. Then this will solve your problem. If not then the button is stuck. You can try using the corner of a firm then plastic sheet to try free it. lastly opening is your only option.
BTW did U try blowing after the lever is lifted (be gentle with lifting it ).

From retentions I got a pretty good deal,
I had to pay £150 up front but then I was given £150 call credit...
£15/mnth contract.
I'm happy.

crajee: bless you for really trying to help me. Greatly appreciated! Really.
I tried lifting the button up. I did. Blew under it. Still no joy.
Occaisonally after say 30 seconds of holding the power button down, I do get the notification window (do you want to turn off your device). But it does not happen after 3 seconds as it should. Even though that occaisonally happens, it still does not turn the screen off. I am now starting to think the droplet of water under the cover near the speaker has something to do with it. God knows how it got under the cover if the cover was on.

I don't know what happened but tonight my power button suddenly works fine now. Happened all by itself. Must be when I lifted up the button and blew earlier today. So thanks Crajee, if it weren't for you I would never know you could lift up the button as shown in the photo above. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

tboy2000, Really glad to know your HD is back in full speed
BTW you can add resolved tag to the title of the thread as it can help others looking for similar problem.

Vibrate when in pocket

The vibrator in HD2 is so strong, that i prefer to not use it. HTC has this neat setting, to increase the ringing volume when the phone is in pocket/bag mode. But it would be great if it also turned on the vibrator when in this mode?
I don't know, I'm not a developer, but to me it does seem like a usefull function, and it might not be to hard to tweak?

You can configure under sound and notifications to:
1. Vibrate and ring
2. Vibrate then ring
So not sure what tweak you are looking for.

Yeh, would be very good! hopefully someone will be able to help

But you can just turn on and off the vibration. Make a kind of shortcut for this.

sure but since there's a setting to make ringones louder when in a pocket, it would be nice with vibr. as well. really jest need vibr. when the phone is in my pocket annyway

I also think that vibrate in pocket mode would be a nice feature...

I agree that the function is needed - the only time I want it to vibrate is when its in my pocket. Would also be good to have other pocket mode functions such as buttons being disabled.

For this, currently you can use some 3rd party application like S2U2 or PocketShield.

Good suggestion - i've used s2u2 for the last year on my TyTN II and think it's a great program. Still doesn't get round the issue of pocket mode vibration.

guys my Leo DOES vibrate when in pocket mode! It did from day 1 thats what pocket mode is supposed to do.. loud ringtone + vibration..
i've noticed though that sometimes it doesnt always detect the "pocket mode" for me, i know when its ringing in pocket mode, because it doesnt quiet the ringtone upon movement (which is also right coz if it did while u were walking then u might never know about that call u just recieved)

You're absolutely right! It does vibrate in pocket mode - HTC have thought about it all!! Does the screen have to be facing you to activate pocket mode? I presume it's the proximity sensor that detects it..maybe with a mix of ambient light sensor?

lukedom89 said:

i thought the same but if that was the case shouldnt it detect pocket mode when inside htc's leather pouch?? coz mine doesnt! it only detects pocket mode when its actually in a pocket although its pouch in a way creates the same environment... i know the phone cant be THAT clever! so i pressume that sometimes even if the slightest of light is captured by the light sensor makes the phone go off the pocket mode...

Hmm, after some testing, yes i't does vibrate, it didnt before, but i've updated to the official 1.48 ROM.
On my phone it vibrates when the gsensor detects movements before it rings, so it doesn't have anything to do with lightning (on my phone)
now, if i only could use the HD2 to send SMS messages (witch is often stuck in the outbox) i could put away my Nokia phone, and only use HD2

I haven't updated the ROM - I'm on 1.43 and pocket mode vibrates. I've also found that if I cover the light/proximity sensor when the phone is called it will activate pocket mode even when the phone is still.
Surely there must be some documentation on how this thing works!

yea i think there been lots of times that it ringed when it was in my pocket while sitting (still) or when in its pouch (still)
but like lukedom said, if u dont have any documentation saying exactly how it works and what triggers the behavior, u can only assume stuff...

I've been trying myself to understand how pocket mode works.
I have 1.48 ROM ITA. On pocket mode it usually rings and vibrate, but sometimes it does not.
I think it detects the pocket with the proximity sensor, because covering it with a finger does the job.
G-sensor also plays a role: if I put the phone in a still bag it gets louder but does not vibrate, but if I put it in the pocket of my jeans it vibrates and gets louder.
Not sure if the light sensor has a role because the lightning of the display should influence it.
Note that if you put the phone on silent mode, it just vibrates when in the jeans and does nothing in a still bag...

Pocket Mode SMS Vibrate
Is there any way to set the phone so that it will Vibrate & Play a Tone when receiving a Text Message in Pocket Mode BUT when not in a pocket, will only Play the Incomming SMS Message Tone and NOT Vibrate?

at the moment i cannot test it though as my Leo is at repair center for a screen replacement...

"Priority Interruptions Only" sound mode turning on by itself randomly.

Anyone having this issue after updating to lollipop? I am stock, unrooted. I have searched a lot on this issue and can't seem to find my exact problem. I have checked settings and everything looks correct. Basically at random times throughout the day, my sound mode turns itself to "Priority Interruptions Only". Anyone?

Priority Interruptions Nexus 4 Lollipop
Yes, I've been having the same problem. We rooted my Nexus after I got Lollipop, because I wasn't receiving phone calls, and my husband, researching things, thought it had something to do with Google Update service. But I kept getting this star in my notification area,and missing phone calls. I figured out it was the priority interruption scheme, but I kept turning it off, and it kept coming back on. When I showed it to the guy at T mobile , (which no longer supports the Nexus 4!) he suggested maybe it was turning itself on in my purse somehow. Well, last night, I went to bed with the phone out and charging-no star. This morning, phone still out-there's the damn star and I've missed another call. WTF is going on and how can I solve it? I tried setting the priority interruption for 15 minutes, but it resets to indefinitely. I HATE this! Any ideas?

Same here. weird issue for sure.

From http://www.android.com/versions/lollipop-5-0/
Notifications - look at second paragraph
New ways to control when and how you receive messages - only get interrupted when you want to be
View and respond to messages directly from your lock screen. Includes the ability to hide sensitive content for these notifications
For fewer disruptions, turn on Priority mode via your device’s volume button so only certain people and notifications get through. Or schedule recurring downtime like 10pm to 8am when only Priority notifications can get through
With Lollipop, incoming phone calls won’t interrupt what you’re watching or playing. You can choose to answer the call or just keep doing what you’re doing
Control the notifications triggered by your apps; hide sensitive content and prioritize or turn off the app’s notifications entirely
More intelligent ranking of notifications based on who they’re from and the type of communication. See all your notifications in one place by tapping the top of the screen

I know *what* it's supposed to do... What am I supposed to be looking at, here? It was turning on all by itself. I did not have any times set to have this mode automatically turned on.
Anyway, it seems to just have stopped happening. No longer a problem.

Is it still happening to your phone? It's behaving normally now on mine. I did not change one single thing. Odd!

I am having this issue, but it is at a specific time - my phone is in vibration mode and I get a phone call, my phone goes into priority only mode. As soon as the phone rings, and is doing it's vibration-notification thing, I see the star in the notification bar.
Anyone else have this or can reproduce?

I'm having the same problem. I updated phone a few weeks ago and now it is always putting itself into priority sound mode, about 20 times per day!
Anyone know how to fix this without doing a factory reset on the phone?

Random Vibrations

My Exynos unit vibrates seemingly at random when I pick it up after it's been on the desk a short while. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm guessing it could be the phone signalling it's coming out of Doze mode, or is that just wishful thinking and there is something wrong with my phone?

This is a feature of the phone. If you have a notification, the phone will vibrate when you pick it up to let you know that you have a message. I believe it can be turned off in the settings, but I'm not sure. Of course if it's vibrating without any notifications, then there could be a problem. Btw, I have the snapdragon not the exynos but I think it's the same.

The phone has a setting in which it vibrates when you pick it up if there are unattended notifications. You probably have that enabled (not sure where I saw it in settings, but I did).

This is a feature called smart alert. It will vibrate as you're picking it up if you have missed calls or messages.
You can turn it off in Settings > Advanced features > Smart Alert

Thanks. Hmm, not sure if I like this feature. Will leave it on for now though. I like to experience my phone as the OEM intended for the first couple of weeks.

Ahhh, so that's why! That's always bugged me, thinking that something had crashed when I picked it up and a sensor was busted or something.
For me it was under settings > motions and gestures.

Try notification reminder under settings

Not sure about you guys, but mine does this when there are zero notifications. Sometimes it'll do it multiple times in a row. I've tried everything, but still it happens. My buddy has the S7 and it does the same. If it's the Motion Gesture option, then it's faulty.
Sent from my SM-G935V using XDA-Developers mobile app

No Notification Vibration
I'm having a problem where my S7 vibrates for no reason at all. I will be browsing the web, texting, checking email, etc. and the phone will vibrate like I received a notification. However, when I check, there are no notifications at all. This happens a few times a day.
It's not the notification reminder nor motion gesture as I have both of those turned off. Any ideas?

I have the same problem, my phone vibrates all the damn time like 10 times an hour while I'm holding it for long periods of time I turned of smart alert there's nothing wrong with the battery charge or the wifi there are no notifications I cannot figure it out and it's really really annoying

My phone vibrates when the screen is off and I flip it upside down. Then it makes the google now sound when I flip it back but doesn't do anything.

i found what it is,
settings -> accessibility -> Notification Reminder... somehow this was turned on by an app or something i dunno.
Turning this off solved the annoying "notification reminder"

It is listed under the notification reminder. Go to settings > search > look up "notification reminder." Under "Notification Settings", turn off vibrate.

For s8 to stop f#**ing buzzing
Tried turning off smart alert... Tried messing with google now because of its notifications... Tried turning off vibration... Tried turning off notifications all together and it still buzzed. It was getting me pissed. Couldnt figure it out. Then I turned off dual audio mode and the phantom vibrations stopped. Settings>bluetooth>3 dots on top right>dual audio>off. I think it has to do with the Bluetooth searching and dropping signals which gives the phantom buzz. Also murderous on the battery in my experience. But that worked for me. Dual audio is a cool feature, but I guess not one that can be left on.

Tried turning off smart alert... Tried messing with google now because of its notifications... Tried turning off vibration... Tried turning off notifications all together and it still buzzed. It was getting me pissed. Couldnt figure it out. Then I turned off dual audio mode and the phantom vibrations stopped. Settings>bluetooth>3 dots on top right>dual audio>off. I think it has to do with the Bluetooth searching and dropping signals which gives the phantom buzz. Also murderous on the battery in my experience. But that worked for me.

Same problem here with my S8+. Unfortunately turning dual audio off did not fix the problem for me. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/random-notification-sounds-vibration-t3605007

Ok so I actually did something else too and didn't notice it when i originally posted. I did go to settings>accessibility>notification reminders. I've set it to off since but when I originally posted on this thread I had set up the applications I wanted reminders from individually so i didn't notice immediately that the buzz was still there until I got a notification from one of the apps I selected for this function and it did it again. This setting seems to not affect notifications in general, but it gives reminders of notifications at preselected intervals. So you get the initial alert, but with this setting set to be on, you get reminder alerts of your notifications as well in the form of that dreaded buzz. I think it could be helpful for those who want to make sure they can respond to every notification, but for the average user it is just annoying. I've set notification reminders to off and the buzzing is no more. As far as the dual audio, I was also experiencing a crazy power drain from that when I had it activated. I'm assuming that it is because of all the crap I have thats Bluetooth in my house trying to pick up my phone. When I changed this setting to off the power drain stopped so for users of this function I'd recommend only activating it when you are using it or bringing an extra charging method with you.
