What qualifies as turned off?

Hey, i have a tungsten E2 and i can't tell if i actually ever turn it off. When i press the power button, the screen goes dark and it seems to be off, but when i press it again it IMMEDIATELY turns back on and is at the same place it was before i supposedly turned it off...
Can you FULlY turn these things off? (to the point where you see the palm logo and then the tungsten logo)
Also, sometimes when i think it has been turned off, it starts clicking in my pocket because the cover is pushing on a button or something...
I'm so confused, how do you FULLY turn these things off? I know you can because i received it second hand it i had to boot it up completely, logos and everything... I also have no birthdays on the first week of january or whatever, all i have installed is versamail and the wifi card drivers, and i have tried holding down the power button. I have hotsynced it with my computer so i know its up to date...
Am i just retarded and not seeing something i should? Is there no way to turn the E2 off COMPLETELY?

Hello Matthew and welcome to the Palm forums.
 No, a Palm handheld or smartphone is never really "off-off" unless you disconnect or remove the battery.  When you press the Power button on your Palm, you are putting it to sleep.  Being in sleep mode allows the Palm to wake up an sound alarms and alerts; such as an appointment reminder or the alarm clock going off at the programmed time.
 I would sugguest that you take a look at the downloadable Palm Tungsten E2 User Guide, found on this page.  It will explain how your Palm works.

  • Activity Monitor:  How to know what processes to turn off?

    I cant seem to find something like a glossary for the processes that appear in Activity Monitor.
    I get the idea for using the AM - to find out what processes are running and how much memory they are using, however, I just don't know what processes are "suspicious", uneccary, good, bad or whatever. Anyone know of some resource to help me know what I should turn off?
    Many thanks!

    Ah, in that case, watch your CPU usage.
    When Activity Monitor starts, select either +All Processes+ or +Active Processes+ in the toolbar, and sort the list by the +% CPU+ column, so the highest numbers are on top, and select the CPU tab towards the bottom.
    For this purpose, also select +View > Update Frequency > Less Often+ from the Menubar.
    Various processes will "spike" up and down normally as they do things, then are idle, so you need to watch it for a while and get a feel for the processes that are using the most CPU, and the +% Idle+ at the bottom.
    When the slowdown occurs, see if something changes significantly, especially if the +% idle+ goes to near zero. If that happens, see what process(es) are using the most CPU.
    If the process(es) involved aren't familiar to you, post their names here (and/or check this out: http://triviaware.com/macprocess/all)
    You may also want to select the +System Memory+ tab towards the bottom. Keep an eye on the total of Free and Inactive memory (if they're near zero, you may need more), and the +Page outs+ (if that's high, it's another indication you may need more memory).

  • Sluggish! What can I turn off?

    I'm wondering what I can turn off. I've been googling this all afternoon and trying to adjust system settings as I can, but my entire system is moving at a snail's pace since updating to Yosemite this morning (previously it was 10.6.8 and all was totally fine). I'm wondering about some of the things on the attached list when I look at my Activity Monitor.

    Try this as a start.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • WHAT IF YOU TURN OFF YOUR BLUETOOTH ACCIDENTLY ON THE IMAC?,

    HELP!  I was following a help and support task when I accidently switched off my Bloothtooth on my IMAC. Now of course I haven't got a working mouse or keypad to switch it back on. Apple Inc. want £35 to tell me how to do this, I'd imagine remotely...can anyone advise please.....?

    Now of course I haven't got a working mouse or keypad to switch it back on.
    Turn it on with the power button, in back, or in front, depending on your particular model iMac. The Mac should recognize no devices are detected, and turn on Bluetooth for you. At least that's what newer ones do. If yours really is a PowerPC iMac, you may require a USB mouse or keyboard.

  • HT4859 If I have the app turned off for storage in iCloud does this mean the app can not be downloaded to a new device?

    Manage Storage.
    1.  What am I deleting specifically when this message appears "Are you sure you want to turn off CNN backups and delete the backup data from the cloud?
    2.  If I have the app turned off for storage in iCloud does this mean the app can not be downloaded to a new device?
    3.  If I have the app turned off for storage in iCloud and I delete the app off my phone can I download the app again or do I have to repurchase the app?

    Every app that you buy or get for free in appstore/itunes belongs to you and can be downloaded on up to 10 devices or saved on up to 5 computers. Instructions to download apps to new devices here

    Here comes a "BUT" - imagine your kid playing game and getting to level 51 and have to start over from level one. Or imagine that history that you have in your CNN app. That is what icloud backup contains. My 500 scifi books are in one of the app backups and I REALLY do not want to lose it. That is what you would turn off.

  • 9300 turns off even with full battery

    Hi, I hope somebody can help me... Long story here...
    I bought my 9300 in Istanbul, where I live. I have a Vodafone Turkey simcard and Vodafone Spain simcard. I swithch simcards when I travel, works beautifully, even with email and whatsapp.
    Last year I had an issue whith battery draining in less than 2 hours every morning. After reinstalling software and getting rid of all apps (incl whatsapp) it eventually came back to life and the battery started lasting for 2 days again. I must say I did the upgrade of OS while in Spain (I don't know if it makes a difference...)
    A couple of weeks ago (now I am in Istanbul), same thing happened. It is just that this time the battery doesn't drain, the phone just shuts itself off, normally in the middle of a conversation or trying to send a whatsapp, and with full battery.
    The first few times, taking the battery off and sim and putting it back in did the trick. After a couple of times, however, it is not working anymore. This it what happens:
    BB turns off completely.
    If I try to turn on, it does not even try.
    If I remove battery and simcard, it restarts and is ok in all processes but when it is looking for network signal, it turns off again.
    I remove battery and simcard second time, and it does not go through the software verification, it turns off again.
    After this, the only way to bring it back to life is to plug it in, and then it restarts and with full battery!! I unplug and I can use email for the next 3-4 hours, until some hours later, same problem all again. I carry my charger everywhere!
    I have the latest OS available, and I have got rid of whatsapp, which last year I think it was the beginning of the solving of the problem (whatsapp releases new versions constantly, I think upgrading it did the trick. Or was it just chance?), but it is still not helping so far.
    My husband has the same model, never a problem. We exchanged the batteries, no luck either.
    Any ideas?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    There are many things already posted in this thread...have you yet read and attempted any of them?
    You also may want to attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But, if the behavior continues, you may need to consider more drastic actions -- e.g., WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, "bare bones" OS loading, etc.
    Do also keep in mind that, if the problem is at a hardware level, then no amount of self-diagnosis nor internet-distance recommendations will be of any use...only in-hand evaluation by a qualified hardware technician can properly diagnose a hardware problem.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router

    Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router. However they all show to be connected with their corresponding bars and the ip's are all fine. Earlier today it started flucuating on and off about every 5 min making work impossible and now it seems to be completely broken (im currently on my iphone connected though its own internet) Does anyone know how or ehy this happened and how i can fix this? And to know if this originates from the router or something else entirely. Thank you!

    Hi - some clarifications would help narrow down some symptoms - just what has been turning off? - has the light been solid green but the modem isn't providing wi-fi? - or is the light flashing yellow with no internet? - which can mean several things - does the light go out completey? - so if you can report on exactly what is happenening and when, maybe someone can help you - we also need to know if there any error messages along the way -  we also need the types of devices involved and how they are attached - kind of like a nework map  - the more info that you provide, the more answers you will get.
    Regards,

  • How to turn off item

    Does anyone know how to turn off iTunesHelper.exe using version 8 of iTunes?

    Stubchain is correct, just watch out what else you turn off. The main rule for turning off applications using the msconfig command is if you don't know what the process is, leave is running. If you are unsure what will happen if you uncheck multiple processes. Turn off one at a time and restart windows. This way if something going wrong you know which process caused it and you will be able to boot up in safe mode to fix it.

  • Help! Ipod wont turn off

    Hi
    The sleep function on my 20 GB Click Wheel Ipod has ceased to work, I can click the white centre button on the sleep option and it makes a "clicking sound", but nothing happens
    The ipod goes to sleep when paused by itself but it I then try and flick the hold switch when its in sleep mode it turns the ipod back on
    Anyone have any ideas how I can solve this?
    Thanks

    First what do you mean it won't turn off? DOes the screen stay on or what?
    To turn off an iPod or put in in "Sleep" mode in other words, you just hold down the play/pause button til the screen goes off

  • Turning off vs Sleeping...QUESTIONS!!

    Ok, first off, I had an imac which I bought in 08, worked fine for a bit, and then went totally weird on me, turned off by itself, turned on by itself, long story short, I ended up at the Genius bar 3 times, had it fixed twice (for free, still under warranty), and finally replaced with a new one, again, for free, thanks Apple
    So, what I'm trying to say is, I really don't want any of that happening to my new imac, even though the helpful Apple employees said it was nothing I did.....
    I get on my Imac every night, not on much during the day, should I be putting my imac to sleep when I get off, or should I shut it down? I hope I make sense, I mean, should I only shut it down if I know I won't be on for a couple of days?
    ANY info on sleeping/shutting down would be GrEaT! Thanks everyone!!!!

    Here is a good article that I picked up from a website that is no longer in existence (or I would just direct you there).
    SHOULD I SLEEP OR SHUT DOWN MY MAC?:
    This topic is oft debated in many Mac forums, and does not really have a concrete answer; a lot depends on what you do with your Mac, and what Mac you use. Before deciding whether to shut down or sleep your Mac, you should know (a) what happens in each process, and (b) the pros and cons to both practices.
    Sleeping
    Many computer users (myself included) almost NEVER shut down their computers. There are many positive benefits to this (especially if you're a Mac user). When a Mac goes to sleep, almost every component inside the computer is turned off; what is not turned off is set in a 'low-power mode'. The contents of the RAM and Video RAM are saved, the network ports might still get a little power, and a few other subsystems stay on, but pretty much everything else is off.
    PC laptops are a little different - because MS can't get its act together, PCs 'hibernate' - like a really deep sleep. The hard drive is accessed a lot during the 'hibernate' and 'unhibernate' times, causing a lot of wear and tear and much energy usage. This also takes a lot longer than the Mac way. I don't like PCs much (can you tell?).
    On a laptop, this mode uses VERY little battery power - if you're going to use your laptop again within a day or so without the power adaptor plugged in, this could actually save battery power, as shutting down/starting up uses a lot more energy (much more disk access, processor power, etc.). On a desktop, this could save a little energy (thus a few $$$), especially if you put it to sleep a few times a day when you know you won't be using it.
    The best advantage to sleeping is that the computer (a) goes to sleep almost immediately, allowing quick transport of a laptop, and no vigilance after clicking 'Shut Down...' on a desktop, and (b) wakes up almost immediately, allowing you to get to work right away.
    Shutting Down
    Shutting down a computer has a few benefits as well. One is that NO power is being used at all - for laptops, it's best to shut it down if you're not going to use it for a day or two, as it will save a little bit of energy and heat from being wasted in your laptop. On a desktop, you might wish to shut down so that you can transport it, or if you won't use it for a long while.
    Also, shutting down completely wipes away the computer's RAM (random access memory), which might have some corrupt/junk data left in it from various things the computer does. It also lets the computer's components cool down. I definitely recommend shutting down at least once a month or so.
    However, when you shut down and start up your computer, the hard drive and other components get more wear and tear, and use more energy.
    The Verdict
    I recommend all Mac users to sleep their computers unless they won't be used for more than a day or two, and all Mac users should shut down their computers at least once a month to clean out all the gibbledygook that collects inside the components.

  • Iphone5s turns off automatically

    Hello! I have iphone 5s and now i noticed what my iphone  turns off automatically...maybe somebody already had such problem?

    Hello Alivini,
    It sounds like your phone is turning off unexpectedly. I recommend these steps from the following article, they will get you to a resolution:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    If these steps do not resolve the issue, follow this step from toward the bottom of the article:
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
