WinCE 6 no name satnav sleep mode issue

Excellant at last my wince 6 suspend problem is fixed:clap:

Fatboyfun, the regedit link 'http://www.4shared.com/file/zU…..gedit.html' doesn't appear to be working? Having the 10 minute sleep mode problem on my Chinese Win 6.0 & TT7.9. TT7 Navigator. mscr file text below. Can run TT7, with a saved route, no problems.

Errorlevel ("off")

RegDeleteKey ("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\ActivityTimers", True, True)

Kill("Tomtom Navigator.exe")

I'm wondering if you can use Mortscript's IdleTimerReset command here...

IdleTimerReset resets the idle timer so the countdown to screen off is reset, I've used this on Windows Mobile many times.

I don't have an affected device here to test it on, but an example script would be...

A = 0
While A = 0
IdleTimerReset
Sleep (60000)
EndWhile

Once a minute the idle timer is reset, This code will loop over and over, so it's best to create a new script and call it with the Run command from the first script.

Simple instructions...

Open TT7Navigator.mscr with Notepad and find this section...

while (WndActive ("TomTom Navigator"))
sleep(15000)
endwhile
Kill("Tomtom Navigator.exe")

Change it to...

while (WndActive ("TomTom Navigator"))
sleep(15000)
IdleTimerReset
endwhile
Kill("Tomtom Navigator.exe")

Save, Restart Tomtom, Test and post results...

In the testing process. Will post results.

I've no idea if it works or not for these devices...

Fatboyfun, Added IdleTimerReset line to mscr file. Hard reset. Sleep mode after 10 mins (Doh). Powered up by using power button or discon/connecting power. Still running ok after 35 mins? Dug a bit deeper using Regeditce v2.6 (Trial copy, so can't save/change anything). The registry looks slightly different to that in the mscr file.

With a couple of pointers from you, I am willing to change the 'RegDeleteKey' lines of the mscr file.

I don't have my device to hand but I will compare my registry entries later to see what the values are

For a good registry editor/file system browser download one of my unlocks, like universal shell or easy shell and find cecmd.exe and registry.tfx within them, put these two files together on the device and run the exe

This is total commander and the registry editor is in the plugins folder.

Just a thought...

The IdleTimerReset command as used above will only work when Tomtom is running, If you need it system wide you will need to create a separate script and call it at startup.

If it works while Tomtom is running, then you don't really need the registry edits, they can be removed from the script.

Not a lot has changed at present. TT works perfectly (so long as a route is left on the unit at power down). Unit still goes into sleep mode after 10 mins of the initial power up. BUT, after repowering a second time (from sleep), the unit will run until you switch it off? It makes no difference if you put the unit to sleep or off when you reach your destination. It still goes through the sleep mode after 10 mins then ok for the rest of the journey cycle. I will carry on playing with various tweaks and post back with the results.

this is the same setup as mine, I'm experimenting at the moment by deleting some reg keys will let you know

IdleTimerReset called once a minute will keep a windows mobile device awake indefinitely, I don't have an affected windows ce device to play with though, so feedback is greatly appreciated...

managed to brick my sat nav
but found a firmware and reflashed and now working again and it looks like the sleep mode has gone
checked the registry and there are some different settings in the power section

Yep, bricked one unit whilst trying to find difference between 2 registries. Do you have a link for the firmware? (Nothing to lose, already bricked):pray:. Also what are the different settings in the 'Power Section'?

IdleTimerReset doesn't have any effect on my working unit. Bricked one unit, looking for new firmware and a way to re-flash it?????? (Only the start up screen and that's as far as it goes)

here for the firmware...128mb unit only

[Please Register or Login to download file]

unrar to sd card and switch on the unit should get a blue screen, wait for it to do its thing then should be good to go,
my unit has been on for four hours and no sleep mode :D
