This document discloses a solution for employing a power-save mode in an electronic device providing, in a display unit, a plurality of home screens and a mechanism to switch from one home screen to another home screen in response to a user input received through user input means of the electronic device. At least one of the home screens is a home screen for a power-save mode of the electronic apparatus and, upon detecting a user input causing a switch to the home screen for the power-save mode, the electronic device switches on at least some of the power-save features of the electronic device.

Power save mode in electronic apparatus

The techniques described increase efficiency and operation of a device operating in one or more communication systems. These embodiments provide a method for a device to perform selected scanning procedures of one or more communication systems based on the type of event detected by the device. One method includes detection of the opening or closing of the flip cover of the device and performing scanning as a result of detecting the event. Another method performs scanning in different modes such as high-scan, medium-scan and low-scan modes.

Method and apparatus for efficient scanning and operation in a wireless system

The invention relates to a method for utilizing a cellular terminal to simultaneously receive messages and process messages to be sent without the user having to change between display modes of the terminal. For instance, in response to a press of an alphanumeric key, a pop-up display is opened in a display area of the cellular terminal. The pop-up display covers a part of the terminal's display area and is used for composing/editing a user message suitable for forming part of a chat. The invention also relates to a cellular terminal utilizing the method and computer program products according to the invention.
