MDA II keeps turning itself on after Rom upgrade

[wouterk]

:(
Hi guys,
I got a new problem. Just want to know if any of you experienced the same. With Rom 1.60, my MDA II keeps turning itself on every couple of minutes. Sometimes it keeps turning itself on every 10 or 20 secs. Sometimes it takes longer before it turns itself on. It only seems to happen with the phone turned on (T-Moblile Holland). The only new progs that I installed which weren't there before the ROM upgrade are:
Finger Clix and Vito button mapper. Of course I also have:
Pocket Informant, Fitaly, Resco Explorer, Pocket Music, Pocket Plus, Sprite backup, Tom Tom Navigator and Pocket AutoD installed but those programs didn't cause this problem before.
Any ideas about this turning on? It is most anoying because my battery is almost flat at the end of the day. :x

I think I found the cause: Active Sync. When I close active sync in Running programs, my MDA doesn't turn itself on anymore by itself. I then removed the checkboxes in Active sync\Tools\Pc synchronisation and everything seems to be working as supposed.
I hope that this solves my problem and unwanted battery drain.

I just posted the message and now my MDA turns itself on again! GRRR
I guess I have to kill AS every time myself. I remeber there is a small freeware tool somebody wrote to kill AS. I hope it is 2003 compatible...

I had the same problem and then I discovered it is actually Sprite Backup with it's scheduled backup feature. I turned off the Sprite Backup Scheduler (no scheduled backups for me) and it sleeps nicely (zzzz....) now and only wakes up when I want it to.

I hope it helps.

Hi ixtab,
That did the trick! And I just upgraded Sprite backup to the latest version after the ROM update so that was the bug.
Thanks for the tip. It was driving me nuts!

cool. when you upgraded Sprite Backup are you using the scheduler now with no problem or are you doing the same as I did (no sched')?

Well, hope this does the trick for me. Damn... i was really starting to like scheduled backups...

Wouter, be honest, mate. You lived with this feature on your LOOX for ages before :lol:

SPRITE BACKUP as a potential candidate to cause this trouble never crossed my mind. Gotta tell my wife about it...

Hi Frankie!
Yep my old Loox did cause me some troubles in those days. I just saw it again this weekend. And it was still going strong but my MDA II is much, much better :lol: !
I must say that Sprite Backup is working like a charm now. I had to do a hard reset saturday morning (don't know what happened but...) I did a restore and no probs what so ever.

Good to hear, Wouter. It seems I see my LOOX more often... basically every day (my wife has it now and she loves it). I think the XDA II is much better but I rather don't say it too loud :lol:

Well in that case I guess the more often you see your Loox, the better your mariage is..... :lol:
