BB Software :: 8900 Keeps Going Into Standby?
Jun 11, 2011
I Recently had my T-Mobile blackberry unlocked for my wife to use. It is now on Virgin. I have upgraded the software and everything is working well with the exception that the phone keeps going into some kind of stand by. It isn't the normal keypad lock, the unlock button wont unlock it, you have to press the red power button for a few seconds to wake it up.
It appears to be on a timer as it locks after about 2 minutes and goes to a black screen. It will happen in the middle of typing a text or whatever you are doing and when you press the power button to unlock it, it then takes you back to the home screen.. Very annoying!I have gone through all the options and cant find anything to stop it. The auto on/off if off. Password is disabled with security time out set to 30 mins.

I updated my OS on my 8900 to the latest version yesterday 5.0.0.681 Most of it looks the same, however I used to use the lock ley (top left ) on my handset, to password lock my unit before putting it in my pocket. Now I find this only put the unit into and out of standby. Does anyone know why this has been changed? Can it be changed back? I am really angry that this usefull feature has been removed without the ability to customise my handset and put it on.Why could it not have been an option to change what this key does? From a quick search on Google I see lots of other people have the same problem, and some are even paying to download aps to fix the problem!! For now I have changed my side convience key to activate the password lock, so all I have to do is keep remembering to press side button instead of top button. I cant even find anywhere that I can contact RIM about this, and request they reinstate the lock key. Very disapointed with the way this has been handled and the lack of support / advice / comment from RIM.

I had an 8310 and just bought an 8900 brand new off of eBay. I used the 8310's speakerphone A LOT for listening to music and loved it! I always took the back of the phone off too so that it wasn't coming through 2 little holes through the top. Is the sound quality and volume of the 8900 equal to or greater than the 8300 with its batter door off?

I recently purchased a blackberry 8900 and am trying to upgrade the software to the newest version (5.0 I assume). However whenever I check for updates via the blackberry site the desktop manger pops up and does not offer this upgrade. All it says it 4.6.1 (current) and the rest are downgrades, so I'm not quite sure what I need to do to get the new OS to even appear, much less download it and work.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on an auto standby app for the 9000? Something that will put my 9000 into standby after a set amount of time? I see that "AutoStandby" is popular on App World, and had some good review, but is there anything else that is more current and compatible with BB OS 5.0 also?

For OS 5.0.0.592 what exactly does the button on top of the Bold 9000 do? Does it put the device into Standby and put it into a low-power mode? Does the holster magnet still put the device into Standby? The reason I ask is because, in OS 4.6.0.303 I used to get a message staying that the device was going into Standby... now, the screen just fades to black.

add another issue to the pile already building.. i have my iphone to set to autolock after 1 minute, its now been 5 minutes and the screen is still fully lit, sitting on the text message i sent 5 minutes ago. It will not dim the screen or go into standby at all. have a feeling im not the only one with this issue. i remember my 3gs went into standby VERY quickly once you stopped using it.

My iphone 4 battery seems to be draining way too quickly. I just charged it up to 100%. Disconnected it and made sure that the following things were turned off: wifi, location services, notifications, mail. I double clicked the home button and closed all applications.
I am using 1% battery per hour. Usage reads 2 hours 5 minutes. Stand By reads 2 hours 5 minutes. Does this make sense? How can usage and stand by be the same when I have done nothing except hit the home button twice and looked at the battery strength?

my usage has been the same as my standby. which I assume means that ever since my iPhone has begun it's new "cycle" since the full charge. it's been "working". Normally I'd go through a charge cycle as almost 2 days of standby and 8-ish hours of usage; however last night my battery drained nearly 15%, and I noticed my usage increased to 17 hours. indicating that it had been active overnight. That I guess has continued today, since my usage and standby are both near 3 hours. what is going on all of a sudden? What apps may be running in the background and why?

I have to say that I am EXTREMELY impressed with the standby time for 5.1.1. The auto stop feature makes a world of difference. I fell asleep and checked my battery and woke up to this graph. I'm impressed considering I used to lose around 15-20% when I slept

My 4s is having serious battery issues. I do not have the option of taking it to an apple store. Nearest is 4 hours away. Done a hard reset. Did a restore as new. The phone loses 5-10% per hour in standby. The phone dies in 6-8 hours being mostly in standby. Standby and usage times are the same. I have everything on the phone turned off, no apps installed, I haven't activated my mail client, etc. Nothing is on the phone since restoring it as new. With wifi off, cellular data/roaming off, and location services off I still lose the same amount. Version 5.1.1(9B206) The phone used to work fine. I would have to charge it every other day.

also when i press the sleep button the same problem occours, the only temporary solution i have found is to twist the phone gently at the top when the problem arises, it may be a hardware problem given that twisting it fixes it, yet i want to know if there is anything worth trying before taking it to get repaired?

My device is: Sprint iPhone 4S 32GB I understand that the iPhone automatically switches back to 3G from Wi-Fi in standby to conserve battery. The problem with that is that I have bad coverage inside my house and it drains my battery because my iPhone is always trying to get a 3G signal. Simple fix to that is to go to settings > General > Network and turn off Cellular Data which in terms turns off 3G and forces all data via Wi-FI (If you have a Wi-Fi network set up)?
When I do this my iPhone sends and receives iMessage quickly because it is sending them over Wi-Fi, but as I press the power button and lock my screen approximately after 15 seconds my iPhone turns off the Wi-Fi and it is left with no connection thus my iMessage and emails no longer get pushed, including face time calls and any other app that uses push. Is this an issue for everyone? Because I read the forums and users say their iPhone remains with Wi-Fi on during standby. It would be nice if you could test this theory and state what carrier you are on and so on.

My Iphone 4s is 8 months old and has always worked flawlessly. Since two weeks, however, I am experiencing a serious drop in battery life. I found out that the reason seems to be that the Iphone is working while in standby: my usage and standby stats are very close: for example, I wake up having charged the Iphone to 100% just before getting to bed, to find the usage stats say "7 hours of standby and 6 hours and 30 minutes of usage, and the battery percentage at 65%!! While I would literally not have touched the Iphone at all! Before the battery percentage would after 7 hours of not touching it be at 94 or 96%. In fact, the Iphone now lasts less than a day, I have to recharge every 18 or so hours on the basis of a usage of maybe 2 hours!
I have
- rebooted
- reset all settings
- deleted some, but not all, recently installed apps
- deleted e-mail accounts and re-installed them
- turned off 3g and wifi and notifications and location services and 'find my iphone' and, well, many other things.
- thought hard about what I did just before this change in battery life occurred which might have caused it, but can't think of anything significant. None of these bring back my iphone to anything close to its previous battery usage.

my 8900 crashed on me today and they are replacing it.I decided to try the 9700 while I wait for the 8900.I was initially going to just sell the 8900 replacement on eBay and enjoy my new 9700.However, I am slightly disappointed with the 9700.I love the keyboard over the 8900.I also love the track pad and I thought I would hate it.What I don't like about the 9700 is the 3G seems to be about as slow as the EDGE. I don't use the browser much anyways so it is not much of a feature for me.Not sure if the better feeling keyboard and track pad is worth the price of a new $400 phone.Am I missing something about the 9700?

Start camera up and it displays Camera in Standby Mode. There is a Continue option available however when selected the standby mode message reappears. I have also noticed that the Image Sequence setting is ON and Im unable to change this setting.Have tried hard reset and have upgraded to latest 10.5 software. Have also spoken to Nokia support with no luck.

I have 1 and half year old nokia 1200 phone. But now the standby time of the phone is about 1 day. Without call/sms. Nokia care person said that the problem related to its firmware version. And need change to v 6.00. Do you think that the problem related to software?
