RE: 770 auto shutdown problem
Dear All, Thanks for your comments on my shutdown problem, sorry its taken a while to get back to you but I was waiting for a new battery and being on holiday! So: I reflashed the unit (latest 2006) and put it in R&D mode (green info text on startup) and I was still seeing the same problem, namely the 770 decides to turn itself off rather than entering a low power standby state after a period of inactivity. I bought a new battery and have tried that too and I am getting the same problem. Even with the old battery, energy levels are not low, I can use the device for ages on constant usage its just if I close it, when I come back (even after a short time, say 10 minutes) the device is dead. Apart from monitoring the dbus, does anyone have an idea on how I can try to trace what's happening when it shuts down? Are there any clever ways of recording the sequence of events that would lead to a shutdown? Does anyone know the logic that leads to shutdowns or stanby actions? Is the code that governs this open? Could someone point me to it?

Hi, -- output of a dbus-monitor session over ssh at the end of which the 770 had shut itself down. I closed and opened the screen to see what messages were sent. i have set wireless to stay on even if screen covered. the "save_unsaved_data_ind" message looks ominous, obviously 770 thinks something bad is about to happen AFAIK this is normal, it's sent always when screen is blanked. - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

> I bought a 770 second-hand The first thought for me would be failing battery. As you already read, refleshing cannot harm. Zoran ___ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: 770 auto shutdown problem
Hi John. Why don't you just reflash it all and start clean? Salut. Sebas. 2007/2/17, Cass, John P <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello Maemo Developers, Maybe someone can help me - I bought a 770 second-hand recently and love it BUT it has one strange behaviour; it shuts itself down periodically - usually when it hasn't been used for a little while (~5-10 mins) whether the screen is exposed or covered. I really want to be able to use the standby mode covering the screen and being able to quickly start again but at the moment I always have to reboot. I don't think its a battery problem because I get hours of use out of it if I keep tapping away. Sometimes it stays on longer, although I am not sure why... Anyway - anyone else seen this? Anyone know of a way to trap messages that might explain why its doing this? Is there an equivalent to /proc/bootreason that explains why it previously shut down? I used dbus-monitor (see below) but don't think I'm getting much useful information - what do you think? Its running OS2006 49-2. Any thoughts appreciated!!
