How to disconnect GPRS? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi everyone,
I used to have a Hermes. Back then I was able to disconnect the GPRS data connection by pressing + hold the disconnect button (the red phone button). However, after changed to Kasier, pressing + hold this button = lock the phone. I need to go to the Comm. Manager and choose flight mode and change back in order to make that connection to disconnect. Anyone knows other simple method to do so? Thanks a lot!
Regards,
rcyh

heh, there's also the data connection tab in the com manager? only have to push it once vs. twice for flight?

Oh yes. That's one method. But do you know that is there any hardware button I can press+hold instead of going into Comm.Mgr to achieve the same result? Thanks again!!

Hold the 'hangup' button (the red one).

If you do that the phone will lock itself it does not disconnect anymore

How about tapping on the G icon on the first line of the screen above and select Disconnect? ok, its not a hardware button, but its not complicated.
on the other hand, why would anyone want to disconnect gprs? its not like it costs money to just have the connection on while not transferring data, is it?

There is a discussion here, I've loaded a new com manager to be able to turn off 3G when not needed. I also am using AE Button Plus to map back keys to do things like disconnect GPRS, works great.

I think it's more about the battery not getting empty too quick

how to prevent power on when sliding out?

Hi folks,
does somebody know how I can prevent my kaiser (t-mobile vario III) from powering on when the keyboard slides out? This happens a lot when it is in the pocket of my trousers....
thanks
Werner
... to use a case...
ok, but thats near removing the battery before putting it in the pocket...
first press and hold the hang-up button so that it locks. Then just push the power button once. This puts it in standby. Then just configure the standby timeout when not on external power, and you're set.
how is it about aktivating the lock function?

When I hold the hang-up button my phone doesn't lock.
Holding hang-up button ("red phone" key) does lock the unbranded, HTC Kaiser. Dunno about Tilt or other branded phone
the vpa device of kaiser with german rom doesnt have this problem i read in ppc-world forums. so its just a reg key or a cab installed at branding. so lets get a solution
Holding the red phone end key on the Tilt simply ends your data connection.

and on the HTC branded Kaiser, it locks the device and does NOT end the data connection .. so I tend to agree, there must be some registry setting to change this.
On the MDA Vario III holding the red button for a few secs ends the data connection, a few secs longer locks the device. best of both worlds I guess.

FakeCursor

Does anyone have experience in configuring FakeCursor?
I've kind of got it to work so far, I've assigned a hardware button to launch FakeCursor via it's shortcut, however when I press the button again to turn FakeCursor off it always goes back to the Home screen, which is annoying.
What I'd like to be able to do is just have one button which turns the cursor on and the same button to turn it off? Any ideas how I could get that configured?
Cheers
try sphelper, this is i think better...

I have it mapped with Long_Home.lnk. The cross-hairs will appear for a second, then disappear and only reappear when you move it (with the directional pad).
Hold home to turn it on, hold home to turn it off (it will put you back on the home screen when it exits, this is a [poor] function of FakeCursor).

That's exactly how I have it configured . I was wondering if there was a way it wouldn't dump you back to the home screen, but it seems not?

I'm pretty sure that is a function of FakeCursor, not the mapping. It would be nice, but FakeCursor hasn't been updated for several years.

How Do I Shut Down My Tilt???

i was writing up some .ink for my tilt and i pretty much remapped everything all the buttons. and now i have remapped the power button to activate a program pxshut to shut down my device. but every time i would to use that to shut down it would just go into hibernate, it wouldnt turn off the device.
now i am worried that my tilt has been on for weeks, but i have been soft resetting it consistently though
can anyone help my find the **** down ink or a program that can actually shut down my device?
Take out the battery
Lol! Great answer. Removing the battery will most certainly turn off yer device. On the other hand, here is a link for you on how to reassign the buttons Write here if you need more help, Chicken.

Fox.
hey thanks for the help guys, i was actually trying to avoid the battery removal.
i already know how to reassign buttons, i am trying to find out how do you restore a shut down button to shut down your device.
you tried press&hold of the power button, until the shutdown dialog is displayed?
i think pdas cannot be shutdown completely.
there always be a little energy from backup battery (am i right?)
so when you turn your pda off, you just hybernate it.
long press power (suspend) button
No, firstbuddha is right, to actually turn off your Tilt all you need to do is hold down the standby button, and ok the dialogue that pops up. The device is properly shut down then, not just suspended. It'll reboot the next time you press the button.
actually that wont work, because like i said in my first post i reporgrammed the long and shortt power button to do something else. and now there is no way to shut down the tilt.
so i was wondering can anyone direct me to the ""shutdown.ink" or the thing that i can program my button to shut down the tilt, or at least start up the shut down dialoge
use 3rd party software.
hold on, i'll find you something

PowerOff Shortcut
Hi dude
You don't need any app, try to make this shortcut (.lnk):
31#"\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe" /ExitWindowsEX (EWX_SHUTDOWN, NULL)
than rename it how you want and put it wherever!

[Q] Turn Off Airplane mode issue using hang-up long press button

Hi there,
When I use the long press hang up button option, It turns on air plane mode well by shutting down all wireless signals; but it won't turn them back on if I press and hold it once again: the gsm icone goes from an 'X' to an '!', but it won't connect to the network.
I have to manualy run the comm manager and hit the Airplane mode activation to get it to work.
Does anyone have the same issue? Any idea?
Thx
I also had the same problem, I just don't use it anymore - just use Comms and the options there

Thx: did you get your phone unlocked as I did? That could be the reason.
Anyone else with the same issue, or a solution?
same issue here, and unfourtunately no solution as far as I know...

Htc Tytn 2 Screen problem

Hi everyone,
I got a HTC Tytn 2 and i have a problem with it.
When i boot the phone it starts up and goes into windows like every windows mobile phone.
But when i press the standby button my screen wont go out of standby.
Only when i reset the phone it will work again.
Anyone got idea's ?
Oke, since no one responded.
Is there any way how i can make the Power Button replaced with the Speed Dial Button.
Because i think my power button is broke.

Have you at least tried backing up your data and doing a hard reset first ?
Yes, and i have also tried to put on a new rom and even updated the radio.
Iam a little bit out of idea's...
here are some more ideas:
1. how to test the power button: you say pressing the power button does not wake up the device once it goes to sleep. conversely, does pressing the power button put the device to sleep while the screen is on? if the power button is unable to make the device go off->on as well as on->off, then the power button is likely broken. if pressing the button achieves on->off, then the power button is probably ok and some software issue becomes more likely.
2. how to enable wake on pressing ANY hardware button: look for an option in Settings. i can't tell you the exact option because the ROM i am using does not have a link for this option, but this option does exist 100% in stock ROM and in lots of other ROMs. it contains settings like "Lock all buttons except power button" and "Keep all buttons unlocked" or something similar. by using the second option, pressing ANY hardware button while the screen is off will wake up the device.
3. you can use AE button plus to perform even more advanced button (re)mappings.
4. just to be sure that your device is really working correct, does the screen wake up when you call the phone or when you receive a text message? if it does not wake up even then, then search for "sleep of death".
Thanks for the response.
I think its a Service of Death problem.
Because when i try calling/smsing it, it wont go on
The buttons do work then...hopefully there's a fix for this problem...
Oke, i tried switching to 2G or 3G only but that didn't fix my Standby of Death.
I also bought a new sim card of vodafone so i wont get a No Sim error.
But what can i do now about it...it hangs like every 5 min...
Okay, after a will testing, the phone hangs every time its almost like when iam on the road with my tytn 2 and placing it upside down, it hangs.
But when iam putting it in the leather holder it doesn't hang.
Any had the same problems ?

Maybe it's hardware and something is coming loose
