Question about q's chronic power off problem?

[A.G.P.]

I installed Total Commander day one on my Sprint phone and have had no issues.

Hello VT... Does your Sprint Q have the latest software version also? And did you fix many errors (such as phone turning off by itself, freezing, unresponsive at times) with Total Commander on yours? And also, where can I download TC or any other registry hack??? Thanks.... I know that was a multitude of questions...

[A.G.P.]

That's right. Total Commander does not work on a Sprint Q because Sprint has "locked" the device. It requires the ae-something program to unlock first. I've downloaded and tried Total Commander myself and can confirm this.

Hi AdamzApple, just wanted to ask if you purchased the latest Version of the Sprint Q... (with touchtone keypad jpeg which is how everyone seems to determine their phone's software version)? Just wanna see if we have the same version and if not maybe that's why one Sprint user can download TC and not another....?!?!? Thanks...

the sprint q, isnt 'locked'....you just need a registry hack program to get to the registry...like total commander or any number of them...you're probably referring to another program...

My apologies. The registry editor that a search on the this forum for "Total Commander" took me to MobileRegstryEditor which I downloaded and was the one that gave me the Access Denied error.

I've gone to the Total Commander website and will try downloading it. I don't know which version to download though. None of them mentions the Q by name? The version I did download didn't seem like it had a registry editor, only file compare, FTP, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you again..... so much. Holy crap this might be too much to ask but can you help me at this point? (OR ANYONE ELSE? ) I have just downloaded Total Commander 6.55 Public Beta 3. It says I have a month to use it as trial... The problem now is WHAT NOW????..... Ok, I might sound like a moron but pls correct me if I'm wrong. I should proceed to hook up my Q to my PC and run TC at the same time, right?... From there, what??? How do I go about fixing my current Q issues (phone turning off sporadically, freezes and unresponsive at times....) ? And what other changes/fixes can I do to my Q with TC? Tell me to "SHOVE OFF" anytime, k? LOL And perhaps anyone else will care enough to help a lost "Q" soul?????

ummm, that IS the registry editor...you should see it under your start menu...open it up...it'll look similar to file manager...you'll see some folders...at the top you'll see a folder with two "\\" next to it...highlight it and hit the silver button...then follow the path:hit registry>hklm>drivers>builtin>ipm>low power mode change that value to a '0'...zero....hit ok...and exit the program....

just to verify it works, i hard reset mine yesturday for an unrelated reason, and didnt change this value...mine locked up today, and had all sorts of lockup problems yesturday....i switched it this afternoon and all is well again

Geoff,

You are the man. I've made the change and am now crossing my fingers in the hope that my Q will not lock up again. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
