WinCE 6 no name satnav sleep mode issue

by huggy » Fri Jan 13, 2012 12:17 am

Hi, Hoping someone can help.

When I start up my satnav and I have input a route the satnav goes into sleep mode every 5 minutes.
Is there a way to stop it going into sleep mode.

Thanks

Go into the Windows CE control panel\power and change the power saving options

Agreed. This is not an issue with the Nav software (none that I know of has any "go to sleep" options) but with other settings on the device which the Nav software just cooperates with. Depending on the device itself, if you can't get to the actual WinCE settings as FBF suggested, there may be Power settings in whatever Menu comes up, if any, when you boot the device.

But that's just my opinion..I could be wrong.

Thanks guys,

I thought that was the issue but my problem is that when i go to power the only option I have is to suspend on battery power after 1,2,3,4,5 minutes of continuous idle time.
On my wince 5 satnav in power I had the option to switch to never.

On wince 6 when I go to power properties all I get is a battery tab and power off tab but on my wince 5 device I get Battery tab, scheme tab and device status tab.

Is it possible to have the same setup on my wnce 6 power properties as my wince 5 or am I stuck with this suspending after 5 minutes

Thanks

These are the Mortscript lines that are supposed to sort out the power issues on WinCE6 Chinese devices with Tomtom...

RegDeleteKey ("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\ActivityTimers", True, True)
RegDeleteKey ("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\SystemIdle", True, True)
RegDeleteKey ("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\UserIdle", True, True)
RegDeleteKey ("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts", True, True)

The Control Panel applets are in the Windows Directory (*.cpl) You can run them manually, You may be able to copy them from the WinCE5 device.

Currently sleeping...

In the world of Windows CE registry, 0 usually means disabled, So if deleting them doesn't work try setting them with the value 0.

My wince 6 satnav wont active sync with my computer. when I try to connect with windows mobile device centre I get the following message:
"Unable to retrieve the mobile device information. Please reconnect and try again"Starting to think I should have sent this back when I fist got it

Is there a fix for this or is there another way to get into the windows folder on the satnav

Thanks

If it's the original software that's giving problems then i'd have sent it back.

If ActiveSync/WMDC won't connect, Then using Total Commander or similar on the device itself the only way.

Wince 6 in which is to edit the registry, as the choices you indicated total commander not listed that way.

It happens to me just as huggy. but it only happens with the satnav IGO PRIMO, I tested with Garmin Mobile XT and Navitel and this does not happen. I set the IGO sys.txt the correct way to pass powermgmt to sleep mode but it keeps happening.

Because of the wide variation of devices not every application works on every device, sometimes it's a case of what's right for the device, not what's right for you!

However there are various power management sys.txt entries to experiment with

That's a lot of registry changes to make, I'll format these into mortscript commands tomorrow so members can try them out easily...

Well i tried this, It didn't work and the device got stuck in a reboot loop!!!
Lucky it had a hardware based hard reset!

Here is a list of power states for Windows CE

On - Full powered on state.
BacklightOff - The user has not interacted with the system for some time. and the backlight has turned off. The timeout for this to occur is set through the backlight setting in the Control Panel.
ScreenOff - In this state, the user has specifically turned the screen off. This is different from the screen being turned off due to idleness.
Unattended - The screen, backlight, and the audio are all turned off, but the programs on the device are running. This enables ActiveSync to check e-mail without alerting the user. From the user's perspective, the device is sleeping.
Resuming - When a device wakes up from sleeping, it is in this mode. The backlight and the screen are still off, and programs have a 15 second window to switch the device to another power state before the device automatically goes back to the suspended state.
Suspended - [color="#FF0000"]The device is sleeping and the processor is halted. The device will not come out of this state until a hardware event wakes it up.[/color]
Off - The device is not performing any actions and is not consuming power (exception: though, in some devices, the system clock may still draw power to maintain time).

Currently sleeping...

Hi,

I am having the same problem as the OP!!

Although I am beginning to wonder if it is the navigation software causing the issue.

I also have a chinese no name unit, built in 4GB flash, 64MB ram,WinCE 6. I have primo 1.2 and Primo 2 installed on it.

When running Primo 2, it will switch to sleep mode after 5 minutes, but if I switch to Primo 1.2, it stays on for 10 minutes before going to sleep!!

It wont Activesync with my computer, so have no way to get into the WinCE files to see if I can try any of the suggestions put forward so far.

Is there any other suggestions forthcoming, or do I have to put up with hitting the power button every time the screen goes blank?

Many thanks

Alan
