2210: Disabling 'power on' on insert or removal of CF card

SjB · Occasional Visitor Joined: Aug 07, 2005 Posts: 44

Whenever my iPAQ 2210 is switched off (I know it's actually always 'on' but you know what I mean) it switches back on and the display comes to life whenever I insert a CF card.

Oddly, if switched 'off' and I remove a CF card it also switches 'on'.

It doesn't matter if the CF card is a normal memory card or the SysOnChip CF 256 antenna that I use.

How can I disable this annoying 'auto detect' feature, please, and instead only have the 2210 switch 'on' or 'off' when using the power switch?

Many thanks.

Go to Start >Settings > System and check if there is an "autostart" item. If it is switch that off. If not - tough luck.

Had the same problem on the Toshiba e750. Spoke with their customer support (I don't think they actually understand what 'support' means) and have been told that basically because the PDA is never off or something like that, whenever you stick something in it or pull out, it installs or updates some drivers so that is why it turns the screen on and there's nothing that can be done about it. Don't know if it's true but that's what they claim.

Thanks guys.

No "autostart" option, lbendlin, and your Tosh experiences don't fill me with confidence exfive! I won't give up just yet though because I find this feature so damned annoying. I like software to do clever things that help me, not take control away from me.
