Advanced WiFi Lock Free -- this solves the dreaded wake from sleep issue. Go into the app's settings and UN-check "Enable Timeout." Prior to this, I experienced the issue twice, but since installing this app, the wake from sleep issue has disappeared. I do sometimes have to push the power button twice to get it to wake from sleep. But other than that, I don't have any complaints about how the buttons work.
Thanks, seemed to have kept me from experiencing the problem too. Something I don't think anyone has noted is that the power light will "pulse" when it is asleep, but once the "sleep of death" occurs the light will stop pulsing and will just remain on.

I thought they pushed out an update that fixed that problem. I don't as I just picked mine up from Best Buy a couple hours ago. YEAH!!! Still letting it charge so I haven't gotten around to playing with it. Right now looking for a reasonable priced SDXC card. Thanks for the heads up though fellas.

So I noticed that my battery seems to drain rather quickly, so I checked everything, and i realized that after I closed the lid while it's docked, the screen will turn off, but once it is fully shut, it will turn back on to the lock screen and stay there. Has anyone else noticed this, and if they have, has anyone found a solution?
I am having the same issue. Though mine does not happen all the time. I also have the random reboot issue when docked, not sure if these are related or not.
I noticed this when I had the netformer kernel installed. Switched to the clemsyn kernel and the problem went away.
May want to check and make sure you have Stay Awake unchecked in settings-application-development. I found that mine was doing the same, would close it would shut go dim, but not shut off. Thought it was probably because the dock is constantly "charging" the tablet. Turning this off has made a noticable increase in battery life.
So it happened again. Fully charge the TF for a trip. When I get to my distination (8hrs later) turn on the TF and its dead. No power and no chargers. This thing is pissing me off!
Anyone know why or how I can fix? I do have the wifi off when screen is off.
How is that possible?
Did you not shut down your TF?

It looks like you are having the reboot during deep sleep issue that started with the upgrade to ICS. The reboots can be stuck with the screen enabled and the processor actively trying to complete the boot, which drains your battery.
Short term, I would avoid leaving the TF powered up unattended for long periods.
That will prevent the total battery drain. For a longer term work around, you can try an app called Wake Lock, which you can set to prevent the TF from going into deep sleep, and eliminate the deep sleep reboots, which has helped some users, including me.
The app should be set to restart on Reboot, and select the Partial Lock, then select the Acquire Lock setting, on the red bar, which will switch to green, and indicate that it has acquired. You can also set it to show its icon in the Notification are, so that you have a visual assurance that it is working. Then just exit the app, and it will work in the background.
You can monitor that it is preventing Deep Sleep, using the CPUspy app.
I would then watch carefully to see that you aren't experiencing any more reboots during Deep Sleep.
Long term, ASUS is researching instability with ICS, and we hope to get a true fix. Until then, use of Wake Lock may help you.
Others may have other opinions and explanations, and they may be right, but this has cured my problem for the last 11days. Good luck.

No shut down. I would charge the TF to 100%. turn the screen on to see if its 100% charged and that's it. Then 8hrs or so later when I want to go use the TF, its dead. Can't even turn on.
Can this be the reboot issue or an application that is running and not letting my TF go to deep sleep? Help!

Your response makes no sense. You say TF was shut down then you say TF might not be going into deep sleep. If you power the TF down it will go off and use NO battery. you will get some battery internal discharge but TF will not come on an use battery. Try the same test shutting it off.
Ok...try again. I would charge the TF. Then check by pressing the power button. The screen goes on and shows 100%. Then press the power button to turn the screen off ( not turning it completely off).
When I want to use the TF, it won't turn on, as if its completely dead.
Suggestion?
its either a) you get a RR and get stuck in a bootloop, b) you got some app running that drains the battery, such as Winamp or c) your device is broken (not likely).

Hi,
The screen on my Nexus 4 has started to stay awake. I've noticed my battery drain a lot quicker over the last couple of days and I also noticed that every time I pulled my phone out the screen was lit so I've taken it out and watched it. It just stays awake all the time. If I turn the screen off the minute a message or anything comes in the screen wakes and stays awake so near impossible to keep it off for any length of time.
I do have the developer screen enabled and had stay awake whilst charging option enabled. I disabled that to make sure that this wasn't causing the screen to stay awake thinking it was somehow on the charger when it wasn't however the problem persists even with that option unchecked.
I have the screen timeout in display set to 30 secs.
Anybody else experiencing this or no how to solve?
The phone is stock and unrooted though I plan on rooting later today.

Does it stay awake but go very dim? I have this issue too.
can it be caused by the screen protector blocking the light sensor somehow?
Can you install BBS (BetterBatteryStats) and see what's keeping your phone awake?
Sounds like a FULL_WAKE_LOCK is constantly being imposed on your phone.
Questions
Is it only when you put it for 30s?
What's around your pocket when you put your phone in it?
Do you have any attachments onto your phone? e.g. skin protectors, cases...etc
Does this occur on any screen or just your home screen and the developer options screen?
Though some questions may be obvious, the best method is to be thorough with the situation. Answering these questions will help us better help you.
My phone shut itself down about an hour ago (plenty of battery left as I had to charge it earlier and was at 50% when it did come back on). It took several minutes before it would respond to getting turned back on again. I've got 2 messages since and the screen is now tuning off as it should. I had turned the phone off a few times to see if it rectified yesterday however that didn't work.
The problems wasn't anything to do with me having it in my pocket as the problem still existed when I had it sitting on my desk. I have no screen protectors or case and I never put it in any pocket that has anything else in it as I don't want to ruin too quickly.
So not sure what's going. All seems very odd. Hopefully not a sign that the phone is on the way out but looks ok for now. Will have to watch and see what happens over the next few days.
Thanks to all who took the time to respond. Hopefully I won't need to bother you again on this issue but not convinced just yet
Just got my Priv yesterday, and loving it so far, BUT I noticed all day today so far my phone has been sitting next to me on a desk and the screen keeps randomly turning on. I went to Settings -> Display and disabled "Ambient display" and "Lift to wake" thinking that might be triggering it, but no luck. The display keeps randomly turning itself on and draining massive amounts of battery. Has anybody else had this problem or do I have a lemon of a device?
EDIT: I also noticed my device does not sleep "After 30 seconds of inactivity" like I set it to, or any amount of time I set it to for that matter. Anybody else have this problem as well?
I had the screen randomly waking issue too. I had to turn off Lift to wake for that to stop happening.
I also get the issue where the screen doesn't sleep even if I set the screen to sleep after 15 seconds.
You are not alone. lol
Ok so it's not a hardware issue on my end that's the good news I guess. The bad news is this issue is killing my battery life so it might be a deal breaker unless we can find solution.

You wouldn't happen to have an Android Wear watch that's connected to your phone at all, would you?
Or possibly trusted devices or places setup at all?

Check to see if the wake screen for new notification alerts are set. I had a similar issue when I first got the device but after turning this off and the lift to wake option my battery life has gotten much much better
So I restarted my device and the issue went away, then toggeled the Airplane mode on while I was in school (I'm a teacher) and turned it off when I was leaving school and noticed I had the same problem again.
Can one of you test to see if toggling the Airplane mode on your phone makes the screen timeout no longer work?

Just checked mine. Screen timeout working as it should when Airplane Mode activated. Hope you figure out what the problem might be. Good luck
After I got the PRIV I also noticed it woke up too easily. After disabling the 'Double-tap to wake' option (don't know the exact name) that didn't happen anymore.
Does anyone else have an issue with notifications appearing when the phone is locked? I kept mine on my desk for a few hours, and as soon as I picked it up and pressed the side button to wake the screen, all my notifications came in at once.

Maybe a permission issue with Oreo?

It seemed to only happen when the phone went into a "deep sleep" I'm getting notifications now, because I'm actively picking up and using the phone. But they all seemed to delay and then appear at once after the deep sleep, like emails from 4 hours ago, now just appearing.

You don't have Do Not Disturb turned on accidentally do you?

it is a deep sleep issue on mine also.
If I get no notifications for a while it will go into deep sleep.
When I finally pick up the phone, I will get s series of notifications that came in after the phone went into deep sleep.

What about taking those apps out of battery optimization?
Google did what you are describing intentionally in Oreo to extend battery life. Oreo is much more aggressive when it comes to preventing apps from waking up the phone. The previous suggestion regarding battery optomization is probably your best bet.
