Wireless Radio OFF when I turn my TyTn on...

[Guest mkent_barbados]

Hey all,

Seems if I hold down my power button to turn my TyTn off, the radio turns off just before the device itself does (turns to an 'x' just before the screen goes off)...and when I restart the radio is still off. If I reset using the reset button in the little hole, no problem the radio comes back on.

Is this by design? I find it annoying as its an extra step to get up and running after rebooting...

Powering off the device does send a power off to the phone component first, but after restarting it should restart the phone component (albeit after a few seconds). Do you have a sim pin set?

[Guest mkent_barbados]

No pin, and it definately does not restart the phone radio, stays with the little 'x' until I go into coms and hit the flight-mode off button.

Hmmm...was hoping this was an ill-thought out feature and not a bug on my particular phone!

I seem to get the same symptoms, 7/10 times, the phone will come on when i turn the unit on, the other times, the phone remains off and then i have to maually start it.

Wonder if it is a common problem :D

Now THAT'S funny! :D

All the WM5 devices have persistent state storage now I thought, so in theory you should be able to turn them ALL off?

The HTC Universal (XDA Exec/MDA Pro/SPV M5000 etc) is the exception and cannot be turned off.

.........except for my last M5000 that is, which would randomly turn itself off (usually when you were waiting for a call/text/email from someone) :D Only way to know was to press the power button to see if the screen came on - if not, it was time to give the reset button a poke!!

Got a new one now and fingers crossed it's ok!

Mark.

[Guest Pondrew]

Let me rephrase that. HTC Universals that are not faulty cannot be turned off. :D
