lock screen stays on, won't timeout - Acer Iconia A500

I used to get great battery life on my Iconia but lately something is turning the screen on (to the lock screen) and staying on and just draining the battery. The screen does timeout when it's unlocked like it should, i have it set to 1 min i think. I'm rooted and running taboonay. i can run logcat but i don't know what to look for.

updated to taboonay 2.1b and it seems to have fixed it. i think it was an issue with it looking for a SIM card.

switched to lightspeed rom. it's doing it less often but it still happens. ideas?

This is no doubt a rom or kernal issue..
It could be a rogue app as well. I do not have any sleep or wake issues. No issues at all im running the near stock rom for us. 3.2

happen to my stock 3.2 A500 too, found some info pointing to wireless, connected wireless router, computers in network etc. Only things i can do to stop it wake up from sleep and stay on, is to disable wireless/airplane mode before sleep.

Gladiatrix wifi sleep problem

Hi, I installed Gladiatrix 3 and I had greyblur before that. I noticed that when I turn the wifi sleep policy to when the screen shuts off then when I wake the phone backup it takes like 2min to reconnect to my wifi kind of annoying I heard this wifi sleep policy is the best for battery any help? Thx
Just a follow-up it sometimes takes about 10 mins to connect to the network, sometimes I have to go to settings and look at the wifi networks then it connects. Has anyone else had this issue? I have a WPA-2 network, that shouldn't matter though. Thank you
Been using GladiAtrix for the past few days now and I haven't encountered any problems.
I had GingerBlur, restored back to clean 1.83 and installed latest version of GladAtrix using CWM. Added the Cool Blue theme and everything is snappy.
Perhaps a clean install will do the trick.

Nook Color has Stopped Auto-Sleeping [CM7]

I'm running the latest CM7 nightly (110) and OC kernel (6/18) and recently my NC has stopped automatically sleeping after any length of time. I think it has also simply stopped sleeping altogether as pressing the power once turns the screen off just fine, but returning to it the next day the battery is completely dead and the device has turned off.
Has anyone experienced this issue yet? I've looked around a bit but was unable to find any solution to this problem.
Do you have Beautiful Widgets installed? That was preventing mine from deep sleep.
yeah, I fixed my deep sleep issues by not using live wallpapers. also I had found that turning off wifi, background data in accounts & sync and all animations can help. good luck.
cm7 n111 6/18 OC kernel 300/600/800/1100/1200 conservative
Awesome! I tried some of the things you guys suggested and it's sleeping again, thanks!

Any solution to the auto shut down problem?

It is not big problem but really annoying.
Every time I lock it and after 3~4 hours it just won't wake up.
Edit:
Problem seems gone after I back to stock and upgrade to 3.2 with OTA.
Running stock 3.1 and have the same problem, sometimes it wakes up and other times it don't. I can try to wake up in 5 min and it may and most times not.
Have been turning off wifi and then putting to sleep and that seems to work so far.
Turning off wifi don't work for me, even when screen goes off in 5 min, it won't come back on.
I also noticed that every time wifi will lose connection after being locked.
I've set the wifi policy to "never turn off" but still not working.

I've never had any problems with auto shutdowns or losing wifi connection. I use Kikinash's stock 3.2 com gen2 rom. I've noticed many posts from people with gen1 and/or mixed custom roms having issues.

Yes. I am using lightspeed which based on gen1.
Stock 3.2, the same problem.
But, after I kill Skype and turn off rotation lock, I don't have this problem for an entire day. Today is the second day, and I need to go back home to confirm this problem disappears.
I think it is because of rotation lock. Or my kittens shut of my tablet...

if this fixes yours, I may actually have to root. The deep sleep thing is annoying.
I had 3 problems:
reboot somme minutes after screen off
loosing wifi connection
loosing System Tuner boot settings
I've switched from System Tuner Pro to Setcup and now no more problem
Maybe the problems we could meet are rather coming from some applications than from ROM or Kermel.

No luck at all. Same thing happened last night.
The problem must causing from some apps rather than ROM.

+1 on that. I haven't seen a sleep bug since 3.01 on stock.
had this problem on stock 3.1 installed custom rom working fine now
I reflashed the stock ROM and leave it with no app installed.
SHUT DOWN AGAIN!!!!!!
I don't know what to do now. Is this a hardware problem?
Different things seem to all work temporarily. I tried changing the wifi policy to always on and that works for a day. Then I'll change the position of the rotation lock and that will work for a day. Then I installed a wifi toggle gadget and turned it off each time I slept the tablet, and that worked for a day. But none of it seems like a permanent fix.
Most likely it's a hardware issue. I have my rotation locked on landscape, wifi set to sleep when the screen turns off, running rooted near-stock gen1 3.2 (before that I had the 3.0.1 and 3.1 installed OTA and rooted). Does the tablet switch off while plugged in? If not maybe there is a problem with the battery failing to supply power from time to time.

I've never experienced either of these issues be it on a custom rom or stock.

I've been getting it since using taboonay with richard trip's 3.7 kernel, before that I might have had it a couple times in 6 or 7 months.

Continued Wifi Weirdness

Seems many having various wifi issues and also seems not a lot of fixes. So here goes.
Running EOS JB, and Morfic kernal. I want the wifi to shut down when ever I close my case / or when the screen goes blank (i.e. sleep). I'm sure there a various levels of sleep, but read on:
Setting in advanced to shut wifi down when sleeping, it does. BUT, it wakes up every few minutes. This has to kill the battery. I've turned off every updating I can find but that does not help. When it is asleep, it should stay asleep!
I installed Llama - I use this on my Maxx with perfection. I set the advanced settings wifi to stay on always - then set up Llama to turn it off when screen goes blank, and then back on again when screen comes on. Works perfectly! No through the night updates. BUT - when I'm USING the device, I'll lose wifi completely for no apparent reason!!! I look at Llama event log, no entries there. It is just shutting off. I have to cycle the toggle off then on again for it to restart.
So I removed Llama - it's back to "working" but still updating constantly.
Any one have any ideas on how to control this beast?
Can llama put your tab in airplane mode instead of switching WiFi off? Might be worth a try if so. I use tasker to do a very similar thing...puts tab in airplane mode 2 mins after screen off and cancels it on screen unlock.

that is another option I hadn't thought of. I've gone into advanced settings and told the wifi to stay on ALWAYS - and I'm using Llama/screen to see if works. So far so good. The problem I'm trying to solve now it seems, is keeping it on when awake. I like the airplane option an an alternative. I'll update as I go along here.
Thank you!

[Q]Experiencing sleep of death with Lenovo K1 with CM10 and Wifi IS SET TO ALWAYS ON!

Hi all,
I am experiencing the dreaded sleep of death on my Lenovo K1, I cant post in the android development section as I dont have 10 posts yet. I flashed the V2 CM10 via NVflasher and then updated to V6 via Clockword Recovery. I have checked that my Wifi is set to "Always on", I have not done a system restore so this is a clean device. This is now my 3rd flash of this image with the same problem(My previous JB AOSP worked fine). Does anyone have any idea what I can try next?
Thanks!!!
I'm having the same problem with my WiFi version of the K1. I have flashed krook1's build a couple of times and have tried setting the WiFi to Always on. I also have tried Better WiFi On Off and Soft Locker apps to manage the wifi and keep it out of deep sleep (both recommendations in the dev forum) but neither have helped. Every time my screen goes off, the device appears to continue functioning; I can hear notifications going off for emails or text messages. If I try to turn on the screen again using the power button, the two lights on either side of the home button will flash but the screen does not turn on. I then have to hold the power button down and boot up the device again. It doesn't matter if the screen times out or if I turn it off manually, it will always die immediately after.

Hi,
I was experiencing the same issue, the Sleep of death, and would not wake up after turning the screen off or locking the device.
After a lot of testing without positive results, I found this app from the market:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.omd.autoscreenon
It allows to have a "Wake Lock" sensor on all the time, it drains battery a little faster (I haven't noticed much of a difference) which seems to have solve the wake up problem.
I've tried this app the whole day and I haven't had any SoD so far.
Hope this helps.
