Hey everyone!
I've problems with right LED indicator. ex. If I turn wifi connenction ON, the right LED indicator starts blinking, what means that the wifi connection is ON. But when I turn device to stand-by( sleep mode), the right LED indicator stops blinking, what means that my wifi is OFF. So, if I I turn tytn on the sleep mode, I've no internet connection anymore, and I can't recieve emails.
Can anyone help me please to make LED blinking again?
PS. In the beginning was everything allright (the LED indicator was always blinking when device was in sleep mode and wifi was ON.
PS 2. I've tried to hard reset the device twice, but it doesn't helped.
Thanks for your help!
I've just found out that if I put earphones in the device, and turn stand-by on, the problem dissapear.
I don't know what else have to do.
Wifi doesn't normally stay on while in sleep mode, hence the disconnection when it goes to sleep mode. However, you can change that with Kaisertweak, there is an option in there to keep wifi on in standby mode.

But the first week was everything ok. The wifi connection was always on, even in stand-by. This is not normal. I've seen some video reviews on youtube, and there was also everything ok. I saw right LED pinking when TYTN was in sleep mode.
I downloaded Garmin Mobile XT V5.00.10wp from Garmin website and use Jetmouse keygen to get the serial no. The applicant is running fine with the power plug in but if the phone runs on the battery , it will turn the GPS off between 3-5minutes. I have this problem since with the old version.
Is anyone know why is that happen ?
In 3-5 minutes the phone do enter in standby mode and the built in GPS turn off.
A solution is a Car Charger for the phone or unmark in Start/System/Power > advanced section, the option: Turn off device if not used for x minutes (where x is a time in minutes)
In any way a Car Charger is a great idea because the GPS drains the battery quickly.
i have the same problem but mine takes 15-20 min to work

I do need it for the bush walking sometime where I cant bring the charger with me
Really love the look of the new version http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3389
Do you know why it is only happen with Garmin ? It is work fine with Tomtom and IGO8. I dont need to untick the external power option.
Go to Tools / Settings / Display / Backlight Override and check Always On box
I had the same problem this summer while I was driving I noticed from time to time that the Tytn II was turning off the battery from charging and the gps was shutting down. So I realized that the screen is always on, the battery is charging and the gps chip is always on so the phone has termal protection and it's turning off the charger and the gps because the device is overheated.
I hope this will solve yours problem.
So, I posted this on facebook group, but maybe there is someone in here who can help and isn't part of the group, so i'm posting here too .
So guys, i have a situation here, i was charging my phone, everything was okay, then it started to rain and started to lightning, the next day, when i took my phone off the charger, it wasn't working, it wasn't turning on, then i brought it to the support, they said everything was fine and even the phone was turning on, but not getting out of the logo screen, they didn't know how to enter in S/W mode, so i took it back and now the phone is with me, but it doesn't wanna turn on, even in the S/W mode. Then i ask you guys, there is anything i could do? If there is, please let me now, or do they lied to me ? I didn't want to get rid of my OB that soon. PS: I was using CM10.1 with ZeroGravityKernel.
The phone now turn on sometimes, stays awake for 30s and then blacks out .
I'm able to enter S/W mode but can't use Smartflash, it takes a least 2 minutes to use it D: .
what do you mean by only 30s? Like the battery dies after 30s or it just turn off?
Before sending your OB to service again change the battery instead it might not function well anymore due to the lightnings.
wait, Using smartflash you don't need a battery! So if your phone still turns off after 30s... it's actually the phone itself then...
try an "active boot" :
remove the battery, hold power key, then plug the charger until the logo appears. if the airplane mode was OFF, phone will boot, then reboot and will display the battery missing mesage. you may activate the airplane mode in a very short time before this occurs. from there you'll see if the phone stays ON or not. If not, that means this is a software or hardware issue. if it stays ON, that means there is a problem with the battery itself, or a charging issue
I was just messing with my phone, I had changed it to 3G via "LTE onoff" for thunderbolt, after having on 3G for about 24hrs, i could not get it to switch back to 4g. After awhile of reading and changing it from CDMA auto to LTE/CDMA/EvDo, powering down, pulling battery, turning back on, it still wouldnt fix it, it kept defaulting to CDMA auto.
Solution:
Finally I tried setting to LTE/CDMA/EvDo, putting it in Airplane mode, powering down for a couple mins, powering back on, turning Airplane mode off, and it connected.
Hope this helps someone out there
Hello,
i need to turn my old android phone into airplane mode automatically when there is no phone signal AND, after some minutes, turn airplane mode off to test signal strenght and leave it off or turn on again.
Why i need this: i have an old android phone hided in my car, so i can use it as a GPS (app cerberus). But, when i park the car in the garage, there is no phone signal, leeching battery =(
Android 4.1.2 ROOTED
Cellphone NEXUS S (crespo)
If you guys could give me some directions, i would appreciate a lot.
Thank you
If you have Home wifi which can be accessed by your old phone, you can use this as trigger to activate airplane mode on or off.
After connection to Home wifi, turn airplane mode on. When disconnected to Home wifi (i.e. you go out of garage), turn airplane mode off.
Alternatively, you can create a profile that will turn airplane mode on when you stop or end your gps navigation app. And will turn airplane mode off when you start your gps navigation app.
Or, you can just create a shortcut on your home screen to turn airplane mode on or off. Just remember to tap it before leaving the car or when your ready to travel.

Thank you. I'll do that!
Just to pile on ? You could have it turn airplane mode on/off with the ignition. Assuming the phone is plugged into a power source that is tied to the ignition.
