Phone 'wakes up' a bit later than I do! - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Another problem...
When I go to sleep at night, I turn my mobile phone off. During the night, people send me SMSes, but since the phone is off, it doesn't alert me... naturally! In the morning, when I wake up and turn my phone on, I don't get the messages. A while later (sometimes up to 2 hours later), the SMSes all come in one after the other.
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? It may be related to the other post I entered regarding the phone being off although the signal shows good reception.
Thanks!

huh
my xda's have always turn'd itself on to tell me when i get sms and such
because you cant turn a pda off
not unless you take out the batt and in the process clear the mem
it's just in standby
not sure why your device dont alart you when you get sms's at night

I think it's the same problem....
You're phone isn't reachable in the moment, so the SMS didn't get delivered.
What ROM version are you using, and wihich Radio VErsion.
Got the same problem here in Germany with too old version after an update all works fine...

I think its better to leave the phone switched while charging at night but in silent mode.

What I don't understand is... why does it take so long after I turn the phone on (like I said, I switch the phone part off at night), for the phone to communicate with the network and start downloading the SMSes received overnight?
To make things weirder, I can make calls right after I turn the phone on, but the SMSes still don't come through till later.
Hmmmm......

Normally the SMS will be send by the network in time intervalls. They will be not delievered as soon as the device will turn on, but after a while. This have performance issues.
So it's normal that you recieve the SMSs later....

Stefan, that may be true, but on other phones (like my wife's Nokia), her SMSes come through as soon as she turns the phone on. Mine come on much later... sometimes up to 2 hours later!! That's why I thought it may be something to do with my XDA.

DragonBaz
but the difference between the nokia and the xda if you by when your wife turn her phone on mean that it have been turned off as in nobody being able to call it
and your xda is that you cant turn it off
you only turn of the screen and put the system in sleepMode when you press the top button
but if she turn it off and then on then she reconnect to the whole gsm network but you dont because you never disconnected because when you press the turn off button on your device you dont turn off the gsm device it's still running
and if you got a mail in the middle of the nigh it should do what ever it is that you have set up your device to do when you recieve a sms
play a sound or vibrate or blink or what ever
sometimes i wake up because i get an sms

Rudegar, you CAN turn off the phone... you click on the signal icon at the top of the screen and you get another button that says "Turn Phone Off". you click on that, and the phone is off. How else can you get up in a plane if the phone is always on?

yeah sure you can
use the fligth mode to turn off the gsm
just believed you ment just turning off the
pda
my bad then if you go flight mode at nigh
what if you dont ?
does it work then?

---

If I go flight mode at night, it stays on, and I get my SMSes as and when they are sent. But I was hoping to find a way around that... it's no use to me to have the phone on at night, if I'm not going to use it... only kills battery. Know what I mean?

---

well if it's in the cradle in another room it would not eat batts
and you would not be woken by it
but why it would not recieve sms when you turn it on could be a radiostack issue

---

Rudegar, what does radiostack issue mean?
Also, can upgrading solve this problem you think? and how do I upgrade?

---

the radiostack is the embedded software for the gsm phone in the xda
you can upgrade it from running the upgrade which is an exe while the xda is in the cradle
but some people have issues with running the upgrade's
and one have to make sure that one run the upgrade ment for ones gsm system as in us == 900/1900 and eu == 900/1800
not sure what it is in asia
