My Aximx3i is not turning OFF

[chrissysru]

When I press the power button, my axim is not turning off... the screen is off, but the unit itself isn't. Like if I'm listening to an MP3, when I press the power to turn off, I still hear the music. I know I'm just not turning the backlight off because the screen is completely off, I don't seen any kind of screen, but music is stilll playing. The other day, I shut down all programs, and poweroff, when I turn it back on, my main battery was drained completetly. I'm assuming that this happened because of the power issue I'm describing.

Also, when I turn off my wireless connectivity, occasionally I'd get a message saying "Unable to make a connection, please check your interenet setting, etc". I wasn't trying to connect to anything. I was just in Word typing out notes... Any clues on both of my issues?? I'd appreciate some feedback. I'm still on their 30day return warranty, so i could send this back for a new unit...?

It is weired of it to happen that way. Although I don't have an X3, I'm wondering if that is a new feature of the X3 to where you can continue to listen while the screen is off. That is the way with the Pocket PC Phone Edition - the screen will turn off, but you'll still be able to talk, it is a battery saving feature.

As for the power, if you're not aware of it, even when your device is turned off, it will continue to use the battery, so that it can continue to retain anything that you have in RAM.

I have an X3i and nothing like that has occured on my device. I think you had better contact Dell and get a new one.

My Ipaq 4155 runnins Windows Mobile 2003 has that feature of being able to "toggle" the screen on and off using the power button while still being on. I can set that through the screen settings option page, and also under some individual programs. I would check that out on your X3 as a possibility.
