stop mda2 from turning ON when no gsm signal

[izeman]

hi all

i activated setting "lock all buttons except power button" to avoid unmotivated touching buttons when the device is in my pocket.

but there is one problem: i drive my car to the garage, where is NO gsm reception. suddenly the mda turn ON in my pocket. then i take it out and turn it OFF again.

as soon as i leave the garage and reception is back, the mda turns on AGAIN.

that REALLY SUCKS.

do you know any registry hack to avoid this? or any other cure??

thanks in advance.

I don't have an answer to that specific question. I can tell you there is a registry hack, recently posted, that will make the device go back to sleep more quickly when it wakes up for a system event. I have mine set to 35 seconds, which is very useful.

Izeman,

Do you have Sprite back-up installed?

I have found a problem. With Sprite back-up installed and battery monitoring and schedule back up on, my XDA II just sits on my desk and doesn't turn itself on unless I need it to. I have no reception at my desk.

If I take the XDA II out in the car it will periodicaaly and randomly turn itself on and go off after the time I have set in power options. If I turn off battery monitoring and scheduled back up in Sprite back-up this doesn't happen.

There awas an issue with Sprite back-up and the XDA which was fixed that produced similar results.

Now it seems to only have this problem as it gains and loses signal.

Thank you very much mindracing !

Glibe,

Does this mean that you had the same problem?

If so, can you post a question at the sprite software support page? You can register and ask questions there and the response is much quicker than the sprite forum.

The more instaces of this that get reported the more likely it is that it will get fixed.

Sprite bac-up really is excellent - apart from this problem.

yes. i have sprite backup 3 installed. but doesn't seem to be the problem.

my problem is reproduceably the lost GSM signal. as long as there is reception the mda stays off. when i enter the garage it takes some time untill the mda recognizes it got no reception and turns itself on. you could imagine how much fun it is having the mda dial some numbers while being in your backpocket of your trousers. :(

it was not once that i incidentally called the last caller again just because of buttons getting pressed because of this self-turning-on stupidity.

i have NO idea what this feature shoudl be for.... if you find an answer pls tell me just for my internal peace. ;)

thanks

Hello here!

(I've another post similar to that, for now I will follow my experiences in this post and forget the other one)

I've the same problem, i've Sprite Backup 3 with automatic backup but without monitoring battery.

Now, I turn off the automatic backup and I will test my XDA and tell you whats happen ... For now (15') is working ok (no automatic startup)

[jplanelles]

Sprite Software knows the problem (monitoring battery and schedule backup activation) and is working in the solution.

You can read in this topìc:

We must wait for the solution!

thanks jplanelles

but the problem discribed there is completly different from my problem - and therefor doesn't help or solve my problem.

thanks anyway
