Hi All,

I have such a big Power issue with the Magician, or at least Orange's M500 version of it that i'm thinking of taking back the device :'(

It doesn't appear to be a device fault, but a design fault.

In the manual it says that if you press the power button for a short time (less than a second) it turns the PDA on and off. This seems to be correct.

In the manual it says that if you press and hold the power button for two seconds it turns the phone off, but this doesn't work. Instead it turns on and off the back light. If the PDA is on, it turns on and off the back light. If the PDA is off it turns it on with the backlight on.

Last night I turned my PDA into standby mode (As i can't turn the phone off) before going to bed. Around 3am in the morning my PDA woke up saying that the battery power was low. I turned the PDA back into standby mode but it complained later on that night. i.e. had a bad nights sleep last night.

I thought it best to remove the main battery so that it wouldn't continue to wake me up, making sure that the phone and PDA were turned off (no power) and let the data backup battery retain the data until i woke up (5 hours time). However, when i woke up the internal data backup batery was flat. It was fully charged before the i took the main battery out. It is supposed to last 72 hours right!!!!? What a nightmare!

I was wondering if anyone could help me answer these power related questions, as i love the device, but its useless if it won't retain the data when it says it should.

How do you turn the phone off so that nothing is running at all? (i.e. to make sure that the internal battery is only being used to retain my data)

Does activating bluetooth drain the main battery faster even when the PDA is in standby mode? (I think i may have left it switched on last night)

Why would the internal data retention battery drain flat in under 5 hours when the main battery is removed loosing all data? Does it need the main battery in place in order to work? Could the phone and the PDA in standby mode by running off of the internal power?

Thanks in advance to any help you can give. As you can imagine i'm very disappointed as i love the functionality of this device.

When you took the battery out and left it out, if you had slid the back down (this is the same as a power off) you would of been ok.

The action of sliding the back down and back up is equvalent to a power off. When you press the power button after this, it is like a cold boot. (Not a hard reset)

I hope that made sense.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] futurity:
So to power off the phone and PDA you have to slide off the battery cover and slide it back on again without taking the battery out. Surely there is an easier way to turn off the phone and PDA that to remove the battery cover?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gazzrenn:
Thats how i do it. I'm sure there is a different [proper] way, but i'm not sure what it is.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Speedn:
Hi

The main battery when flat enough to power off the pda should have 72 hours data retention, its designed that way... so if it goes flat on friday you will still have your data on monday. thats why it was designed that way and apparently it shuts of at 50% capacity.

Bluetooth active will drain more power.

the backup battery is only supposed to last around 20 mins or less, designed so you can take the main battery out without losing data. this is because Ram needs constant voltage to store contents. hence if you leave your main battery out for more time the backup battery has charge you will end up with a hard reset occuring.

The manual needs to be updated i guess. If you want to turn off the phone you can turn on flight mode which disables the GSM radio functions.

Oh and out of interest for the battery type Li ion, its actually better to keep them charged, they dont have cycles like older batteries. they only have a certain lifespan which starts from the date of manufactor and keeping them at low charge degrades them faster.

Enjoy

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] futurity:
So up until the 50% point, pressing the power button just puts the PDA in standby and the Phone is still running. Only when the power goes below 50% ish does the PDA power off completely?

So after the phone is fully charged, the M500 battery life meter says there is 6 hours and 31 minutes of battery life in it. You say that the device will turn itself off at 50% battery life remaining, so that means it only has 3h 15m of useable time before it switches off? Can the phone / PDA be used when power gets below 50% or will it just not power up until its recharged?

Thanks for your help BTW very useful information.

Neil
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Speedn:
The battery life meter will say eg 6h 31m, the device will turn off in 6h 31m give or take (usage dependant).

when the device is flat there will be still 50% capacity in the battery to allow for the 72 hours data retention. hope thats clearer.

when it is in that state it wont turn on I think...sorry been along time since i been in that state, untill you charge it.

SpeedN
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] grumble:
Surely the easiest way to solve this (and yes I was fooled by the manuals answer to press and hold) is to enable flight mode(which turns the phone off) then turn off ? there are a few apps/ shortcuts that will switch to flight mode easily, you then simply press the off button.

Or did I miss something :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] leochan2005:
I think when we push the power off button (or if we select the machine to be powered off after a period of idle time, through setting), the machine will be off except GSM functions. So when you turn on again, it takes a few seconds to make the machine runs.

You can try if you turn off the button, after few minutes (should be more than 180 seconds), then push the Green button to dial, it takes 3-5 seconds to make the dialing pad comes out.

If you do not select the machine to be power off after a period of idle time, you can use other software to "screen off" the machine, so that when you push green button to dial, it comes out very quickly.

If you turn off the GMS, and turn off the PDA, it will not really get into sleep but will be in the state of retention of data. In any case, when you wake up the machine it takes a few seconds.

Therefore, when you are on the run (say on the street) and make calls frequently, do not power off the machine so that you can make calls quickly.

That is only my experience, I have checked other HP and XDA phones, same results. So nothing to do with the speed CPU and size internal ram.

When the machine is ON, I under clock to 208, the dialing pad also comes out very quickly.

flight mode = on , thats all, it turns the gsm function off, so battery would last long.

There is mod ro app of samsung stock camera for AOSP ROM ?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] broodplank1337:
no. its because it requires the whole framework -.-. they made it so over the top dependent to their TW that it can only be ported partially and that will already take 200mb! and not even 75% of the functions will work. a waste of time really

[LG Optimus G Pro] misterpostman:
Was wondering if anyone knew a build.prop edit or any other method that would enable tablet UI on cm10.1
[LG Optimus G Pro] BoundsChecking:
As Far As I Know..

As far as I know, only Paranoid Android can modify the System UI to achieve these changes. Thankfully we have a PAC ROM (Combination of Paranoid, CM, and AOKP), in the Original Development Section! It does not support Tablet UI at the moment, but I am using it right now, and I have it in Phablet mode, which is amazing, because it maximizes the screen size.

Has the same bugs as CM, as they took the build tree and repos from the CM build, and ported it over,but I've been using it for 2 days, and it is AMAZING. Has Halo, PIE, ROM Controls, and Hybrid Options. you should check it out!
[LG Optimus G Pro] misterpostman:
Thanks for the reply. C:

My goodness its only been a a day since I've been on, three new ROMs.

But hooray for almost tablet ROM, I'm excited to see how this goes

Before installing TT5, my bluetooth worked fine, even in flight mode. After installing TT5, bluetooth does not work at all. Everytime I try to activate it, it comes with the warning: Please turn off flight mode first. My GSM part is on, so flight mode is off, but I still get the message. soft reset and re-installing TT5 did not work, neither did removing TT5 Bluetooth app.

I use TT5 as a road map, without bluetooth GPS, but no matter what I try, it keeps popping up a message every 10 secs asking me to turn flight mode off. I don't need the bluetooth to be on when using TT5, even more, I like it to stay off for power reasons.

Also after un-installing TT5, my bluetooth still does not work! Can anyone out there help me?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jaythemagician:
I get the same problem also.My bluetooth does work however as i use a bluetooth gps.I find that when your in TT5 and the message pops up,just quickly turn flight mode on then off and then you can carry on using it fine after that with no interuptions
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HBK:
I had the same thing. It turned out to be a 'Flightmode' program I downloaded using a link from this site. For some reason it didn't always turn BT completely back on.

Instead I found a program called RadioOff, also on this forum, and it works perfectly. No TT5 problems since this switch.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
My bluetooth issues are partly resolved. by turning flight mode on, then resetting and then turning it off again bluetooth works again. Perhaps my flight mode switcher, a different one from yours, is making trouble. Can you send me the radiooff that you mentioned, since I cannot find it on the forum. my email is jdfkok at hotmail. Thanks!

thanks man! I will report back to you if it solved my problems
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
Hi, just tested it and I think it is the same one I already use! Byte count is exactly the same, just the name and icon are different. But I noticed another thing...When I switch on flight mode with both apps, my bluetooth stays on and can be switched on and off. When I switch flight mode on using the standard windows application in the phone bubble, bluetooth goes off as well and cannot be switched on again! Looks like the app you posted makes it possible to use bluetooth while the gsm is off, while the normal way to enter flight mode also shuts down the bluetooth radio. interesting find! Now all the problems I had can beresolved by using the right way to switch flight mode on and off. Thanks for your help!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HBK:
Happy to help :) Although I find it very weird that 'Radio Off' means that BT is still running! But maybe it's made for a non-BT device?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
Yes, strange isn't it? But might be helpful in some circumstances to have it work like this. I know I won't touch my bluetooth settings anymore, now I have this sorted out, don't want to spend another 2 hours figuring out how to switch it the way I want :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gamedeveloper:
Have teh same problem with QTek s100, can't turn on bluetooth (get "turn on flight mode first"). Sorry, where did you get RadioOff.exe program? Seek all the site and forum and didn't see where can I download it.

Hi guys,

I have an huge issue! Last week I flashed 4.3 slim rom and, at the beginning everything was good, but, later on I used Titanium Back to restore apps and settings and, from there on, my problems started! In fact, after that, my Gnex was not able to start and remains on the bootanimation all the time. I already had this problem when I passed from 4.1 to 4.2 but now I have a further issue that is that vol - button doesn't work! So I cannot start the phone in fastboot mode with the procedure vol+/vol-/power buttons.

So I got this phone Awesome rooted installed CWM Nandroided, Wiped, SDMerged installed JellyCastV6 (ICS) finished the SD merge installed Gapps got it all set up the way I like it. Now to network unlock it, went to ebay bought an unlock code still waiting on it though. but one thing even while on Stock Gingerbread os with alt Sim card in a unlock menu never came up. So how do I get to the unlock menu to put the code in. Even with a another sim in it still doesn't bring a menu up (ICS) so what do I need to do to bring a menu up? Hopefully I can bring this menu up while on this ICS rom right?

Looking around it seems a menu should pop up (Like I've experienced on other phones) or I'd need to type in a Code into the phone app

like 2945#*71001# or 2945#*400# none of these bring any menu up so I'm a little confused. Hopefully I don't need to go back to stock cause that will mean I need to Flash stock firmware from the KDZ windows program right? gonna have to do everything all over again right?
