Un-Wanted Restart

[Toyo5]

since re-flashing the n800 with the new software.....unit continuosly turns itself back on after i have shut it down and put it away.......also, it powers back on about 4 minutes after plugging in the charger. anybody else have the same problem?

maybe there is a hidden alarm turning it back on. some people reported that if you add an alarm and then delete it then these power ons stopped.

Same here.
The unit was off, and about 5 minutes into charging , it turned on.:mad:

This morning the battery was totally dead, must have turned on last night.

i have the same problem, with the exception it doesn't power on by itself if it's not charging..who knows?! it only started after "updating" the software

"totally dead" ? how many hours does your tablet usually last? I leave mine on all day long and still have plenty of juice left at the end of the day.

My wifi connection is set to disconnect after 10 minutes of idle. I know this helped my battery life.

When I shut it off last night, the battery status indicator said that I had about 1 hour of use left; so it was low.
Today when I try to charge the N800 turns on at about 5 minutes.
I have set an alarm, then deleted it, taken battery out still turns on during charging.
I'm trying to learn how to use Bugzilla to submit a report.

Just updated my N800 to the newest firmware as of today: RX-34_2007SE_3.2007.10-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin and just after finished the upgrade plugged the N800 to start charging, the device was off and suddenly it turns on itself.

Has done this several times, after switching the N800 off and while charging, about 8 minutes pass by and the device turns on itself again.

What is going on? and how to fix it? Any ideas, hints are welcome, Thanks in advance.

Mine does the same after flashing the new firmware.

The first morning I thought I just forgot it on the previous night. So, the second night I made sure I switched it off and plug it to the main.

The next morning it was waiting for me with all the RSS feeds updated ready to be read..

You shouldn't complain this a great feature!

So I reloaded the newest OS again, but this time did not install any programs except for my "backups".
N800 once again turned on while charging.
Reloaded newest OS again, did not install programs or "backup" this time.

N800 does not start up during charging.

Something in the(my) "backup" file causing the unwanted restart during charging? Not positive but seems so.

Might be worth opening a bug in Bugzilla and, if possible, attaching your backup as a test case - it would greatly help the Nokia developers track down the cause of the restart quite quickly, I'm sure. :)

I did upgrade the N800 to the latest firmware and DID NOT installed anything from the backups and DID NOT installed anything new.

I left the N800 to charge the battery and the machine started self turning on.

Seems that only happens when the N800 is plugged to the battery charger, has not happened while unplugged. Can someone else confirm this behavior as well?

Opening a trouble ticket may be a good idea now. Anyway, still waiting for some fix from Nokia.

I have figured out a couple more things since last time and i would like to share them with you. :)

1) This self power up happens (in my case) only when connected to the power (i.e. charging).
2) The device would start-up again at exactly 10 minutes. If it was again turned off it would start after exactly 10 minutes from the last start-up! (this is important)
3) I have searched what I have that runs automatically every 10 minutes and voila! the "mnotifier" (which btw should be called gmail notifier or similar, in my opinion since it's only working with gmail).
4) In the next step, I have changed the "check for new mails" to 5 minutes and now the device (N800) is starting-up on its own every 5 minutes!

5) Un-installed the mnotifier and the problem is solved. :)

Hope this helps.

What's going on??? I couldn't figure out the restart pattern. It keeps turning itself on. I uninstalled mnotifier. Any advice?
