You can turn off the unit by pressing the on/off button, but the phone still works.
Is there a way to turn the unit completely off besides opening the rubber sim latch?

no pda's are not supposed to be turned off if you do you loose all mem and contacts and the works
you can turn off the gsm by pressing the signal icon and choose fligth mode
and then turn off the pda by pressing the on/off button but it will never be 100% off
unless you open the sim latch
if you get a xda2 then you can take out the batt if you like but since it cost you all pda settings doing so i would not advice you to
Thanks
Thanks for your reply.
I know what to do now.

Maybe a silly question, but can anybody advise how can I turn on my XDA phone with one hand? I mean without pulling out the stulus and clicking on the antenna icon, the "Turn phone on".
This single hand "turn-off" works fine by pressing and holding the red phone button for two seconds. But pressing and holding the green phone button doesn't turn it on unfortunately.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
The same people that copied the common "use the hang-up button to switch the phone off when it's on" feature from many mobile phones to the XDA, also copied the "use the hang-up button to switch the phone on when it's off" feature too.
Try it!
Thanks ! It really works. Who could know ? :wink:
Tried to turn on my XDA yesteday and the button fell into the device ! This caused not to be able to turn on the screen unless I got a call. I downloaded Vito SystemTools' button maping program which allowed me to make my calendar button (when held down) to turn the screen on and off. The problem is that turning the screen on and off is not doing the same thing as the power button did. I was under the impression that all the power button did was turn the screen on and off to save battery and prevent unintended input. However, now my battery dies in 6-8 hours of use compared to the normal 2 days. Obviously, there is somthing more that the power button does.
What I'd like to know from the developers is if there is a program called by the power button and how I should access it. The button mapper program allows me to map any program I want to (almost) any hardware button (not the volume button). If it's a DLL or somthin I can probably write a wrapper program for it with some pointers.
I'm also in the market for a dummy xda or just another power button if someone has one just to get it to look better. However I like the functionality of holding down the calendar button for 1 second to turn the device on/off and would like to keep that permanently.

The power button is probably hard-wired to some processor wake-up logic. So when you turn the processor off, it's going to be very hard to make it wake up by anything else. You could write something that makes it wake up very very momentarily, say every few seconds, to check for a button-press. But my guess is what you want is a new power button.
damn Well i'm waiting on a dummy phone auction unless anyone over here has one to sell me.
I got exactly the same problem, the only difference is that i managed to get it back and i putted some silicone glue in it. It works and don't ask me how ;-)
Anyway, why don't you just press on the call - hang-up , calendar, volume button to wake the phone up?
Than just change the settings in battery power to make it shut down after 5min or 10min. It should help you reduce your battery life time since the phone gets automaticly in sleep mode after that time.
good luck,

I have my phone set not to wake up without the power button being pressed. I can turn this off but then buttons get pressed in my pocket since I don't like belt clip holders.
I have an SPV M2000.
When I am not using it I suspend it by pressing the power button briefly.
I have it configured to use button lock so that everything is disabled except the power button when in this mode.
However, quite often when I get it out of my pocket the damn thing has switched itself on again.
Any idea why or how it is doing this.
I have a Southwing bluetooth headset which is paired with the SPV.
The build in lock just aint good enoughf.
You must get a 3 party locking program.
I Use NiceStart http://www.trancreative.com/nicestart.aspx
It just locks for alarms also, meaning that you wont get notified befor you turn the device on.
It will light up as it does now, but only with the login screen promting for the password, so no data loss due to unmanaged screen presses.
thanks. i will give that a look
Hi,
I have an HTC Mozart with 7.10.8107.79. It's got this annoying feature or lack of feature...how do I know when the handset is on or off? I mean I go into a meeting and want the phone off, I hold down the power button, slide down the screen, it's off. I'm then late for my second or third meeting and I rush into the room... I need to know if the phone is off so I don't start ringing... how do I know if it's on or off? If I press the power button the handset starts the rather long power on and I have to wait...and then power down. Surely it should be press and hold, press two buttons, or press twice, or anything that confirms I want to turn the handset on? It really is crazy if this is how it's supposed to function.
Like if i'm in a presentation and the speaker says Please check all phones are off...and then i'm there frigging about ripping the battery out.
It also acts weird when it's charging. I turn it off...it turns itself back on. I'm not as fussed at that but it's still crazy.
I couldn't find anything on internet about this, or an app of some kind. Does it upset others? Is it a possible enhancement for the phone??
Turn it off
Take the Battery out

There's no smilie but i assume you're joking
A more appropriate response would be:
1. Turn it off
2. Get a phone that's fit for purpose
If there was an app that started when the phone was turned on and turned the phone off if a confirmation tap or code wasn't entered by user, I think it would be very useful and popular.
Hi,
My phone has a faulty power button and I'm unable to get it fixed. I've found easy work-arounds for it for locking and unlocking the phone. However, I'm not sure how to turn on the phone if it's switched off.
When I connect the charger, even if the battery is 90% it won't turn on on its own...

Nope, the only way I could turn it on was to open the back cover (very painful process) and then press the button area with a pin.
Couldn't get it fixed, so I had to change the phone.
I think there are possibilities in rooted phones, but otherwise the best thing to do is to keep a battery alarm at 30% or more, and keep it on charging whenever you can to avoid a power off. In power on, there are many ways of locking the screen in the MI UI.

Thanks. I installed Blocco Schermo - Simi Studio v.3.21 , a simple app to lock the screen...and when i flagged the option "show in notification area" , the problem magically disappeared.. The Power On/Off button started to work again. I think it was an hardware problem (because the problem has come up after the phone was at the sunlight for hours in my car and went very hot) but now i think it's obviously a software problem.
Hi guys, I got the same problem too. Unfortunately, I drained my batt while playing games. So the problem now is I can't turn it on. Any idea how to turn on the phone without using the power button?
I solved it
Hi guys i solved a problem! You should hold main button + down volume button for 10-20 seconds. Then, when MI Remote opens, stay on the reboot and wait about 3 minutes, then stay on the reboot systems as well. Great work!
just change the volume flexible. its also not took much cost.
