Mobility Site - View Single Post - Solution - Axim not turning on, Disappearing CF/SD Cards and Battery Discharge

(Copied from my separate post - Im not 100% sure its the same issue, but its worth a try)

I would have posted this in hardware trouble, but Im not sure its hardware...

Anyway, Im having some troubles that sounds like the ones that activesync was supposed to cause, except the first thing I did when I got my new x51v was to do the "fake server trick," so I dont think it is that.

If I let my axim sit for 3 min, the screen turns off (this is how it is set in the power settings) Now with my old x30high, I would press the power button and it would come right back on. The battery would NOT drain while it was off. With my x51v, if I just let it sit, it will shut off and pressing the power button does not turn it back on. Pressing and holding the power button makes it come back on, but all I see is a white screen, which I presume to be the infamous "White Screen of Death" Upon soft reset, I find my battery drained, as if I had been using it.

Luckily, if I just press the power button to "manually" put it in "standby mode" (Im not sure if these are the correct terms), pressing the power button will turn it back on with no problem, and the battery is not drained. Unfortunately I can think of many circumstances in which I let it sit and it turns off by itself (which it should, of course) but then I cant get it back on without a soft reset! And wisbar takes too darn long to wait...

Thanks for reading

#2

I found that I had to configure the power settings such that the axim NEVER shuts off by itself, and I must manually shut it off. only then am I able to power it back by using the power button, and without having to soft reset. Any help ? ideas?

EDIT:

Even this doesnt work consitently. If I turn my axim off, I need to soft reset to turn it back on.....

HELP! VERY FRSUTRATING! This just started happening out of the blue, not after installing new programs or anything!
