xda switches on by itself?

[mischka76]

hi folks!

i got a problem with my XDAII since the last few days.. it switches itself on without me doing anything!
It sits on my desk now and even if i dont touch it it will switch on. I can switch it off, but within a minute its on again! This is not just a problem with the battery life but also when its in my pocket somewhere and the keys get pressesd :mad:

i havent changed any settings, it started by itself (really! :rolleyes: )
What I did find out is that if i switch flight mode on, then it doesnt happen! So maybe its something with the radio? All other connections (bluetooth, infrared etc) are disabled and have always been so.

the phone is set to only switch on by the on/off button, if its off all other buttons are locked.

thanks for any suggestions..

Perhaps you have scheduled the phone to do something? I have heard of the scheduler accidently being switched on, though I don't know much more about it.
It may also be (less likely) a short somewhere. I have a broken XDA that I am able to short to turn on and restart etc.
Have you checked to make sure no programs are running in the background?
Also, make sure none of the hard buttons are pressed in constantly. One may have been pressed down and got stuck, or perhaps it is in a case (leather) that constantly presses the buttons.

Also, some phones are set to switch on when an SD card is inserted. Do you have an SD card in the phone? Perhaps it is faulty, or the card slot is faulty, or it isn't in all the way.

Except for the applications that came on the phone, have you installed any third party apps? If so, what are they?

hi jadel,

thanks for your answer. it was actually the sd card inserted into the phone that caused the problem. removed the card -> problem solved! thanks!

is there a way to disable this setting, that the phone switches on when a sd card is inserted? I find it very annoying..

grtz

Hi Mischka,
have you tried another SD Card? probably ur SD Card is defected/broken for some reason. I had an experience that was similar to this with my Xphone O2. it turned on without any touch. i tried another SD Card, and another new SD Card. it came to my conclusion that the socket of SD had been broken/faulty. It did.
thank God my Hima is still in a good condition.

or try to O2 service center to check the socket SD of yours.

regards,
