Machine Power up by itself
 

Hey all,

after checking older threads and google the issue I am asking you for help.

My month old device works great but power itself up without asking me every once in a while.
this kills the battery and drives me out of my mind.

I am using 2006 OS (no beta) and no root access.

any ideas?

thanks in advanced

What do you mean no root access, are you saying you are not in RD mode? I had this problem being in RD mode, but once I went back to normal mode it stopped.

yes. I am not in R&D mode and never was.

Hello Elay,
I had the same problem. I pulled the battery out for about 5 minutes. It happened one more time, then it never came back.

Good Luck,

NeoGeo

Thanks for the tip NeoGeo. I started having the same prob when I upgraded to OS2006. I was forced to recharge daily! Since removing and replacing the battery, I haven't had the problem.

Thanx again!

thanks neo but it keeps on booting up.
i looked at var/log/ and was hoping to find something like messages or boot log.
i am not sure what causing this.
my guess a hardware software combination. anyway i will try reflash the os.
thanks again

Neo, the problem has returned. For 2 days in a row it has powered on at about the same time of day. Hum?
Elay, did reflashing work?
thx!

Strangely enough, I set my alarm for the morning.....when it went off, I pressed snooze, and turned it off (spacing out half asleep) and 10 minutes later, it turned on by itself as the alarm went off.....
I then had on/off issues until I pulled the battery.

could this have something to do with an intended but failed feature for the N770 to activate even when off to sound an alarm???

:confused:

I had the same problem from day one. I tried the battery removal trick but the problem was still there. I did not install anything or flashing it. Just used it. This and other problems made me return it

I checked my time/alarm and found that the time was incorrect. After re-setting the clock, the self-powering problem has not appeared again - 3 days and counting... Thanks for the clue dcarter.

i've noticed that my nokia will loose it's charge over the weekend.

this friday night i used it. i did notice that as soon as i pulled off the protective grey case it turned itself on immediately. i thought that was strange. i did a little browsing. the battery meter showed full. i then hit the power button briefly and selected device off from the menu. i put the cover back on and put the device on a shelf. this morning i try to turn it on, and it comes up to the first Nokia splash screen for about 2 seconds then powers off.

This is the second weekend in a row where it's lost it's charge without me using it.

I don't use R&D mode.

Is this normal? Does the device suck power when turned off?

I had a same problem. Reflash fixed it, but now alarm clock doesn't work. :) Maybe I need to reflash it again..
