Powering off the Centro Phone

I am a new user to the Centro. I understand that I can shut the phone off, but the power is still on to use the Calendar, Contacts, etc.
But I wish to turn the WHOLE unit off to save the battery. I've looked in the manual and maybe I just missed that step.I
I'm finding that I'm constantly needing to charge up the phone battery.
I know this is pretty basic and the answer is pretty simple but it has escape my searching around.
Thanks in advance.

You didn't miss anything - there is no way to completely turn off a PalmOS device.   This is by design.
To make your battery last the longest, turn off Beam Receive, BlueTooth (if not needed), and lower your screen brightness.
Check to make sure there isn't an email program that is polling home every 5 minutes.  This is one of the biggest wasters of battery charge.

    I had been trying to update an app on my IMac and when it came to do it, it said I must close down the app site, in this case WeatherEye.  However, I could not close it down and update says it is waiting.  I have tried everything I know to get rid of this but it remains even when powering off the machine.  Any suggestions?

  • I had downloaded the BBm app on my iPhone 5c, but when I went overseas it went into waiting mode and I have not been able to reactivate even after powering off the phone. What to do?

    I have a previously downloaded BBM app that shifted into "waiting" when I went to Europe..even after powering down the phone on my return it will not change however the app shows up in my settings and if I link through the internet I can still access BBM is there any other hints to move out of waiting?

  • Powering off the iPhone

    Okay, so I feel like a big idiot posting this, but I figured if I could save someone else the pain, I could redeem myself. Did you know you should power off the phone at least once a day for 30 seconds? You hold the top button down for 10 seconds and then a slide bar pops up to power off. I was having major issues with my phone the last week or so. Dropped calls, not getting voicemails, emails, couldn't get on Edge, etc. After THREE separate calls to AT&T customer service, third one was a charm. She asked, very politely, have you been powering off your phone? Uhhh...no. Well let's try that, shall we? Uhhh....okay.
    All better!
    I love my iPhone again!!

    before i bought the iphone, i would get very poor reception at times and sometimes none at all...i'm in a pretty dead area at my house. after talking to att, they told me to start powering off my phone at night because they said they send signal updates from time to time and if my phone is on, it will not be able to receive the updates.
    this sounded like bull to me but i tried it and sure enough my reception improved. not a huge amount but enough to make a difference. this became habit for me and i continue it now with the iphone.
    also, i power down my mac at night and leaving the iphone in a connected dock when the computer is off will drain the battery i'm told. so since the computer is off at night anyway, i turn the iphone off at night as well.
    take it for what it's worth.

  • T500 - Intel 82567 network disconnets when powering off the display

    Hello! I'm having the problem that when the display powers off, my network connection drops, and then reconnects again at 10mps (when the screen is still powered off) When the screen gets powered on again (e.g. by using the mouse), the networkcard disconnects again and reconnects at 100mbps. This seems to be some sort of power-saving function, but its rather annoying and seems useless. Is there a way to disable this? Thanks for your help Dieter

    Is this click coming from your speakers, whether the built-ins or attached? I ask because most of us seem to get a click or pop when the Mac wakes from sleep, etc. Isn't all that loud on my system and doesn't bother me, but some folks really dislike it and have mentioned it (read moaned & complained) extensively in the past. Seems like maybe the sound chip or something 1st powering up.

  • Docking open T61p on the Advanced dock powers off the laptop

    Hi,
    I have noticed a weird problem with using the T61p with the advanced docking station. I undock the laptop and then close it, so that it goes into hibernate mode. Then a few hours later, if I open the laptop and work on it undocked. After that if I dock the laptop without going into hibernate, the laptop just powers off, i.e. as if the Power off button was kept pressed.
    The laptop does not give the OS the shutdown command, just switches the device off. I am running Win XP professional.
    Does anyone know how to solve this issue? This causes all work to be lost, when the laptop is docked.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Network knows where your phone is when powered off?

    An AT&T rep just told me that the network "knows" where your iphone is even when it is powered off. The particular issue is when traveling out of the country. Just powering off the phone will not ensure that you do not recieve charges. If someone leaves a voice mail or text message and you do not have an international plan then you will get charged even if the phone is powered off.
    Really?

    I meant perhaps she misunderstood. Not having been part of the original conversation, I am not qualified to judge exactly what happened. I am, therefore, inclined to try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.
    Of course if you have been in the "wireless business" for 20 years, you would already have known what I told you, right?

  • After updating my mac, I can no longer close the lid without it going into a sleep mode, that I can only wake by powering off.

    Ever since I have updated my Macbook Pro to the newest version of OS, it will go into a sleep mode when I close the lid that I can only wake with powering off the entire computer. I used to be able to close the lid for the night, open it in the morning, and it would be like I never even left it overnight. Now I try to wake it up with pushing everything possibe. Is this new to the update? I even tried to set the settings to "never sleep". Help!

    Try Reset SMC.

    I updated my 4S phone to IOS 7.1.2 and lost my wi-fi.   The wi-fi is on, but can't find ANY networks.   I have been through all the steps, from turning the phone on and off, resetting the network settings, resetting the whole phone, redownloading 7.1.2 and lastly going to the Apple store for help.   They tried all the exact same steps I did, took the phone apart and looked at and said it is in "pristine" condition.   They have no idea why it isn't working, but they could offer to sell me another phone.    This is extremely annoying!    They claim it has nothing to do with the update to 7.1.2, but that is when I lost the wi-fi, so it has to be related!

    My 4s i-phone which is 2 years old cannot find any wi-fi networks not even my home network... I had the same problem two months ago but i turned off the i-phone for 8 hours and then it was okay... Now it happened again.... I tried to restart the modem but whilst my laptop is connected regularly, my phone still cannot find any wi-fi networks... I restart the i-phone, i reset it, i chose reset network settings, reset all settings, i turned it off for a whole day in case it was overloaded, i turned on the airplane mode and turned it off again, i put it into the freezer for 10 minutes within a zipped bag but 3 days now and i still cannot be connected to my home wifi... I went to the technician today and he told me that it means that wi-fi is broken and that i need to change it with a charge of 70 euro but i have to give my phone for 10 working days so as to be fixed... I am so frustrated and i don't know if i want to give 70 euro for wifi since i don't know if it would make the same problems again... 

  • Dead battery after powering off

    Why does the battery go dead on my Razr when I power the phone  off, I thought in doing so would keep battery from draining ?

    As I  am in Singapore for family visit w/ phone service suspended however I am using a Wi-fi connection for internet applications. I turn power off when I have no need to use phone, I might add that last night I had the phone completely charged & set to stand by, 12 hrs later the phone is again completely dead. I might also add that this issue has only started upon my arrival in Singapore, the discharge rate seemed normal during the 24 hr plus trip over here.
    The phone shows a 100% charge when I remove it from the charger, I would hope that my location should have no bearing on my location, as there are applications that I want to use.
    Thanks for your help
      When you say that you "I turn power off when I have no need to use phone", are you physically powering off the phone, or just setting it to airplane mode? If you are putting it in airplane mode to shut off the phone / mobile data side, but using wifi, I would look at your apps that you have installed. Because you are in another country, 1 of your apps may be trying to connect back to the US, and cannot, which would drain your battery. When your battery is low, click on SETTINGS | BATTERY, and see what app has the highest percentage of use, and that may tell you what is going on.

  • 40 GB iPod Battery drains when mac is powered off

    If I leave my iPod in the cradle ( connected via firewire) and the Mac is powered OFF, the battery will be drained in a few hours (or overnight). If I leave the iPod sitting wherever (not connected to anything), the battery will not be drained... normal.
    I assume then that the Mac (G4 867) is sucking the juice out of the battery when the Mac is powered off. Is this a Firewire port issue or ?
    I don't always leave my Mac on, and I don't always take the iPod out of its cradle... how can I stop this from happening?
    G4 867   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iPod Click 40GB

    Is this a Firewire port issue or ?
    I remember a few people mentioning this problem last year, and I think the consensus was that it's a Firewire port issue, and the only solution really is to take the iPod out of the dock when the computer is turned off. (It might work to have an external powered Firewire hub, I don't know if the computer would shut that down or not).

  • Mac Mini crashes when HDMI-connected AV receiver powered off

    This issue concerns a Mac Mini, mid 2011, running Yosemite. It is connected to a Yamaha AV receiver using HDMI and under normal circumstances works normally. However, whenever I power off the AV receiver, the Mac Mini crashes (spontaneously restarts).
    I can't find any trace of a kernel panic, and there is no message after startup to say that the system has restarted unexpectedly.
    For example, the system log from last night shows that is was performing a backup, and then there's the boot message at the time I shut the AV receiver down:
    1/24/15 10:18:29.000 PM kernel[0]: hfs: mounted Recovery HD on device disk0s3

    I have swapped out the HDMI cable in case it is faulty, but this has not changed anything. This issue is easily reproducible but I haven't been able to find any possible solutions. It started after the Yosemite upgrade. Also, the AV receiver need not be displaying the Mac Mini video for this to occur. It will crash regardless of what channel the receiver is showing.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    I have a similar issue after recently buying a receiver (Sony STR-DN1050) and wiring my mac mini through it.
    Some observations that seems to be linked.
    1. When I power up the receiver with another hdmi input than the mac mini, the mac mini switches fast between displays, from the TV name to unknown (observed through Remote Desktop), and sometimes log out the user.
    2. Then, when switching to the mac mini hdmi input, everything works fine, as the mac will recognise the TV.
    3. When switching off the receiver, the remote desktop disconnects and usually the mac mini will log off user or restart- not sure which.
    Edit: Right now, when I powered off the receiver, the mac stayed on... no idea why, as it usually disconnects as mentioned above.
    Edit2: As I look in the Display settings, the mac now recognizes my receiver as Display when it is turned off, presumably because I turned off HDMI pass-through on the receiver settings.
    However, I still have problem 1 above: When I turn on the receiver with any other input than the Mac Mini, the mac will start switching displays and log out the user.

  • Switching off the Time Capsule: risk of damage?

    Hello everyone. If I switch off my time capsule (1TB, recently bought) when not in use, for example at night (I think to connect it to a power strip), could I damage it? Or maybe only if the TC hard drive is running?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussions!
    This topic has been pretty much beat to death on the forums as there has been and will remain different schools of thought on this.
    One school maintains that there is a very good reason that Apple chose not to even put a power switch on the device, and that is that it was designed to run 24/7. Powering off the TC causes it to lose its connection with the local network and internet. When the device is powered back up, these connections must be re-established. Also, when any electronic device is powered up from an off state, the components within the device are subjected to a sudden rush of current. The school thinking on this is that the device will last longer if the unit is left on and subjected to less stress.
    The other school says power it down when not in use to save a bit of electricity. They don't buy the theory that a sudden rush of current has any long term effect on the device and claim that the device may actually last longer because the electronic components are subjected to less heat this way over time.
    Choose your school, or maybe a middle ground that would have the TC powered off for long weekends, vacations or other extended periods when the device is not needed for backups.
