I just found that when my A500 is screen off, the power button's led will light up for every ten seconds, just like the power button on a PC when it is in sleep mode.
I don't know if this is normal and the user manual didn't mention about that! Does any one also have this happening? Thanks!
Hello, I was wondering the same thing. I just saw in another thread a post from the member erica_renee saying that this means the tablet is asleep but an app is awake and accessing the net.
However, I'm still unable to find a f-- way to disable that LED completely and once and for all! Any help with that?
OK guys.
D/load the service guide from here. THIS SHOULD HAVEHIS INFO IN IT.

I've tried to do a search on this problem, but nothing came up. Maybe I'm searching the wrong keyword. If someone know anything about this, please advise. I got the Jamin recently, I pretty much went right into installing the 2nd ROM (vs the recent 3rd ROM). So I have nothing to compare to. For whatever reason, my Jamin keeps turning on by itself every few minutes. Not only that, it won't automatically turn off using the Power setting. Whenever it's time to turn off (ie, after 1min), the thing automatically turns on again (with the backlight on). I'm not sure if this is a ROM problem, a hardware problem, or software imcompatibility. Please help.
Hey
I've also had this happen on my Prophet - it seemed to fix itself after a while, but I also had the problem:
press power button to turn off
press power button to turn on, and backlight was off
couldn't get the backlight on again except going through the backlight settings!
I did fix this using...

Run this app on your prophet, and your backlight is back to normal.
I've found this problem in a number of threads - I'm updating them as I find the solution!

Hi all,
I upgraded to an O2 Exec a little over a week ago from a Blue Angel.
Initially I had a few concerns about it, but thankfully I found this forum, and have managed to get a number of enhancements, from increased storage and better radio (v1.09) to being able to turn on the flash light using a hardware button. My Exec is now running faster than my Blue Angel ever did, and hasn't frozen once. I've already become quite attached to it.
One thing that I think would be useful would be to have the unit turn on when the lid is opened, and off when it is closed. In the Power settings you can uncheck the box that turns off the device if it is not used for x mins, which has the effect that the screen will come on whenever the lid is opened. However, because the device is still running the battery still takes quite a hit even though the screen is turned off, and even when you lower the cpu speed.
Is it possible to turn the device on and off by opening and closing the lid?
Cheers
Rowan

Hi, I have mine set to come on and off when you open close the lid, and it's set exactly how you have said. Power settings, and stop the device going off. And Backlight settings, stop the backlight dimming, and lower the backlight when on battery mode.
There is no "off" mode like Nokia handsets, only Standby, which is what happens when the screen is closed. (I think).

You're not really going into standby mode by closing the case, try switching on wifi or bluetooth and look at the flashing indicator LED, it will still be going whien the case is closed. Nowtap the power button to put the device into standby, no more flashing LED. The phone LED still flashes which is a good thing otherwise you wouldn't be able to recieve calls in standby.

From what I know, the Universal has no real OFF mode, only standby, EVEN WHEN YOU PRESS THE POWER BUTTON. On mine, BT and WiFi still flashes even when I press the power button or just close the screen.
Pressing and holding the power button turns the backlight off, a quick press (or tap as I said before) makes it go to standby and should turn off everything but the phone part.
Okay well weve taken a really fun detour discussing the technicalities of standby and 'power off' but lets digress for a moment back to the original topic...
Rabangus, seems the best option you have is what you were doing. The hit to battery shouldnt be that large. I gave it a try not too long ago the way you and the other member had it set up again, and yes youll definitely have to charge it every night but it was doable. But I wasnt using wifi or bluetooth either. I am surprised that using Xscaler it still takes way to much battery. I assume thats what you are using to lower the CPU.
Oh well unfortuntely thats the way it is chief.
Hi guys...
I am as techy as the rest of yew, maybe more so, but I am having a problem understanding one thing about this phone. I know it is something very simple that I am missing, but I can't find anything about it anywhere in the docs, either?
How does the "auto power off" feature work? What I mean by this is, I know we can turn the power off after two minutes or whatever, but I see that the green GSM radio light is still flashing. That's good, that's what we want because we want to be able to receive calls.
The problem I am having is that after a time (I am guessing it is the two minutes?) I can't get the screen to come back on? What am I missing here? Is it me, or is it a bad phone? Auto power off seems to make the phone unuseable until a soft reset.
I tried pushing the power button, nothing. I tried HOLDING the power button, nothing. I tried pushing the TALK button, nothing.
Is the auto power off different than pushing the power button once and putting the device to sleep? What I want is the device to go to sleep after two minutes. I want to be able to use the phone again without doing a soft reset every time.
I know this is something easy, but I can't quite figure it out?

I've been having a similar issue with my 8125. I seem to also have a problem when I turn the device off. I've been trying to pinpoint the circumstances, but haven't had any luck as of yet.
Have you made any progress with this?
hold the power bottom for 3-5 seconds , there will apper a Yes/No dia.tap yes will real shut off. Not good at eng.But is it easy to understand ?
i had a similiar issue recently on a phone i had forever, turns out that i installed GPRS connection monitor that turned the backlight off on my phone... after hitting the power button to wake it up it appeared my screen was still off, so if i turned it at the right angle i could see my today screen.. meaning the backlight was off, i had to keep it at that angle and navigate into the setting menu to turn the backlight on.. i couldnt find a fix for it so i uninstalled the GPRS monitor and havent had the problem since
Hello again, nookies!
I've come across a small bug/problem on my Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight. Wondering if any of you might know the cause/how to fix it.
It's been happening for a little while, but I don't know when it started exactly. I've just been coping with it for a while.
So the problem is as follows: Whenever I either let my Nook go to sleep, tap the power button to make it sleep, or turn my Nook all the way off and reboot, if I had the GlowLight on directly before any of the above actions, for some reason my Nook doesn't register that the light was turned off when I turned off the device. I mean, yes, the light itself turns off, of course, but when I want to turn it back on again after putting it to sleep or even rebooting entirely, the light is still considered "On" in the GlowLight control window, and for me to actually turn it on again, I have to turn it "Off" first, and then back on again.
This is somewhat annoying, as I normally need to turn on my GlowLight at the lockscreen using the "hold the N button" function, but if I do after I had the GlowLight on before turning it off, I have to hold the N button for 2 seconds to get the Nook to think that the light is "Off", and then I have to unpress the N button and then press it for 2 seconds again to actually get the light to turn on.
Hopefully I wasn't all too redundant, but can anyone help me fix this little bug?
Thanks,

My power button has stopped responding!
Phone has fallen a few times, so that obviously must be why.
The phone is on right now, and I've set the phone to "Always On Display" because if the screen times out, there's no way to turn the screen back on, unless I call my phone, at least, not that I know of.
I've gone into Developer Mode and turned on USB Debugging.
Now, given that this is a hardware issue, which I know nothing about, and that there are lockdown restrictions in my hood, at the moment, I'm unable to get the phone checked.
So, can you savvy power users (pun not intended) please help me with how to turn the phone on and off without a working power button?
Can I connect my phone the PC and do it like that?
Or can I enter into boot menu without using the power button? (I haven't checked out how to get into recovery mode on this device.)
Just looking for a temporary way to turn the phone on and off, and find an alternative to the power button, until I can get the power button checked.
I can't even turn the screen off so it's draining my battery like crazy!
Thanks for reading, brothers!
Hope someone can help me out!
Cheers.

Double tap on the screen does not activate the display?
There are some options in accessibility settings. Maybe there you will find a feature that can help a little bit.
