I flashed this ROM this weekend and I'm loving the responsiveness of the kindle Fire now.
There is one problem I'm having with the device freezing when the charger or USB in plugged in and the screen is shut off. If I try to wake the device the back light comes on but that's it. I eventually have to reboot the device to get it working again. I've check the dev forum on this and have not seen any post related to this issue. I've also followed the instructions to a T, "Factory Reset", wipe "cache", "dalvik cache", and "system".
Has anyone else experienced this?

By disabling screen animations for on/off solved my problem. However, I did not need to change min CPU value, currently set to 300.
Thanks for your help.
Also got this problem before, disable screen on animation works for me.
I still love that animation though xD

I tried to find a solution for my problem, but I couldn't find any.
Everytime I plug in my phone for charging the display turns on and stays on, same thing happens when I disconnect my phone from the charger. The screen in GingerBread (JVQ) doesn't timeout like it timed out in Froyo/Eclair. This could be potentially a huge problem for your screen. You could get a "burn-in" effect if you get a power outtage while charging and you're asleep/away.
Thankfully there's Tasker (It's a paid app!).
With Tasker you can turn off your screen while you connect/disconnect your phone from your charger.
Here is how I set it up:
Add Profile and name it: TurnOffDisplayOnCharging
Add State-->Power-->I selected only AC
Add Enter Task: Add Tasker-->Wait-->5 seconds and then Add Display-->System Lock (You will need to add Tasker to your device administrators.).
Add Exit Task: Do the same like you did for your Enter Task above.
Of course you don't need to have both Tasks, you could only have an Enter Task or only an Exit Task, it's up to you.
You can also change the timeout/wait time or add any other setting if you like.
Solution 2 (free solution!):
WakeLocker for Galaxy S.
I've uninstalled the app and restarted my phone and the settings stayed! Yay!
Timeout is the same what you have set for "Screen timeout" under Settings-->Display.
I hope this thread was helpful!
display ALWAYS turns off while charging
unless you use modification that enables such setting
plus you must activate such setting to have 'screen steaying on when pluged in'

Guess Juwe's ROM has such setting enabled.
as youve mentioned such setting might lead to burining screen pisxels
i think if juwe woiuld activate such settign he would put some information about this in huge red letters

So... you're saying there's something else keeping my display turned on after I connect/disconnect my phone from the charger? An app maybe, or some hidden setting?
And, NO, I don't have "Stay awake" option in Settings-->Applications-->Development, only "USB debugging" and "Allow mock locations".
yup something is wrong with your phone, never had such issue
and the only way i know to make display always on is this setting
I just did a re-search on Google for my problem and found your thread (it's even in your signature).
And one of the features for Stock+ is:
+ Enabled stay awake for ac and usb in settings/applications/development
Also found some other people with different roms have this same problem.
Guess this solution might be a good quick fix, instead of re-flashing/searching for other suitable roms.
as for stock+ look at my signature
as for the bug, as i said never hadsuch issue so realy hard to tell what can cause it
but that is not how properly working phone is behaving for sure
and not a problem of stock firmware
As much as strange this will sound.. this is not a bug, it's a feature...
Juwe has it implemented on his rom, as it is also in some other custom roms. I personally can't think of a proper use for this, but, trust me it's a feature. In Juwe and the other roms it is implemented as a setting somewhere in the settings(normally in 'Settings-->Applications-->Development' and sometimes in the display section). But it can also be enabled, if supported by rom (in stock it's not) , when using either SGS Tools, Nitranity or Spare Parts.. can't remember which one exactly sorry. try to remember if you used any kind of tool app to mess around
but leaving it ON as a default is stupid - as said it will 'burn out' your phone display
it MUST be optional - and information about this should be in big red text
Well, $omator , I am a big fan of yours, really! AND your are ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY, UNDOUBTEDLY RIGHT, but even so that is not the case I know it for a reason because I played a lot with my SGS, since I got it. I have seen this in settings and availability to be enabled through an app.
Really hope you fix your problem, yani2000, shame to burn out accidentally the display. Until you resolve your issue you might want to try charging the phone while it's shut off and see if display still turns on. If not this a temporary fix
moegrave suggested an app for this solution and I've found it!
WakeLocker for Galaxy S (free app on the market!).
Guess there's an app for every trouble GalaxyS has.
EDIT: I've uninstalled the app and restarted my phone and the settings stayed! Yay!
Timeout is the same what you have set for "Screen timeout" under Settings-->Display.
@$omator:
This becomes a problem only if there's a power outtage or somehow your phone gets disconnected from the charger and you're away or asleep.
The phone doesn't wake up and stays on after 100% charge and eats the battery (like some have reported in other various threads).
So this is not such a big deal, but could be dangerous for your screen (burn-in effect) if it actually happens.
glad to be of assistance, yani2000
and guess there ARE apps for everything nowadays
thanks you so muchh you have solved my biggest problem
i have a custom rom on my sgs ii and i had this problem
thanks
Hi there,
While I watch a movie on TV via multimedia dock, my atrix keeps locking up (at least three times per movie). When it happens, I unlock the screen and resume the movie which is very annoying.
Although I set up "Screen timeout" to "Never timeout", it keeps happening. Am I missing something here???
Thanks very much for your help in advance!
Try the "screenon" widget in the market just to make sure on the timeout issue.
As for the lock screen itself, the ever popular "no lock" widget is free and gets rid of the annoying lock screen...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I tried that app and it never worked. What I found is that if I change the screen lock setting to "never timeout", the screen does not get locked as long as the phone is not on multimedia dock. Does anyone have this issue?
That's a strange one. Mine never used to lock when it was on the dock.
Is your dock plugged in so your atrix is charging? If not, maybe it's some power saving mode making it shut off?
Otherwise, maybe something in the ROM you're running.
Yeah, I know. It looks like nobody has this problem. Yes, the dock is plugged in and is being charged. I found "Stay awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)" option under Developement the other day. I will check that option and see if it resolves the problem. Right now, I have to get up every 30 minutes and move the mouse around on Webtop Mode window on my TV during a movie. This is very annoying.
I have Bell's stock rom: 45.2.17.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA (2.3.4). My phone is unlcocked (on Rogers) and rooted.
in settings, you need to turn off the auto lock

I'm taking a wild guess and saying it's probably an app or something causing you grief. I've never heard of anyone else having this issue that anyone was able to replicate.
Maybe you want to look at your apps and see if you have any that might cause that kind of behaviour. Try removing them and see if it fixes your issue, if not, move on to the next app.
Or if you're really fed up, you can always try a factory reset and start from scratch.
I have the same problem on mine.
I think I found the problem. It has to do with the Security Lock and the Fingerprint scanner. Once fingerprints are entered the "Security Lock Timer" becomes disabled. Mine was set to 20 minutes. I reset it to "When display is off"
Settings->Location & Security
If "Security Lock Timer" is greyed out, you'll have to clear out your fingerprints and do the setup again.
->Change Screen Lock
Select None.
Select "Clear Stored Fingerprints"
Go back into "Change Screen Lock"
Select PIN and enter a pin.
It'll dump you back out to "Location & security"
Security lock timer should now be enabled.
Select "When display is off"
Go back into "Change screen lock" and set up your fingerprint scanner again.
See if that fixes the problem.
***EDIT*** Didn't work. Mine still engages a lock after about 20 minutes.
Setting screen lock to "None" didn't help either. Still times out in about 20 minutes (like a screensaver).
I found the solution!!!
The problem was the screen saver settings in WebTop mode. The other day, I saw a setting icon on WebTop mode and found that the screen saver was set to 30 minutes. I chaged it to 3 hours and now I can watch a movie without getting up every 30 minutes. Yeah!!!
Oh that's cool. I didn't know that.
Thanks
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.
Hi! Was anyone around here able to FIX deep sleep reboot problems on Koshu's otherwise amazing CM10 ROM for TPT?
From what I could gather and observe on my TPT, the reboot in deep sleep occurs when the device is approx. 30 minutes in deep sleep - actually I'd say EXACTLY after 30 minutes, but I can't back that up with any solid evidence. However I managed to wake device after 28 minutes and 31 seconds after going to deep sleep (according to CPU Spy). Another "test" strengthened my suspicion: I turned off the screen today at 19:36 and at about 20:11 a reboot occurred (device usually waits about 3-4 minutes before going to deep sleep, so the 30 minutes figure fits right in).
I'm 100% positive that the problem is connected to deep sleep, since after I installed and set up "Wake Lock" app with PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK setting, which prevents CPU from entering deep sleep, reboots stopped. I get similar results with the "Soft Locker Free" app. (Hope this workaround might help some of you out there.)
However I'm asking if anyone has found any FIX, since Wake Lock / Soft Locker workaround increases battery drain, since CPU is not going into deep sleep anymore. Or some less battery-draining workaround - I was thinking about an app that could periodically (lets say every 25 minutes) wake CPU from deep sleep for few seconds? (I'm sorry if that's not possible or is a stupid idea, I'm quite new to the whole "Android business", haven't programmed any app and my TPT was the first device rooted / flashed and that happened just a few days ago.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should Koshu stumble upon this post (since I can't post to dev forums just yet), this is the information I can give you right now:
Pre-install Android: Stock ICS
Device version: ROW (without 3G)
ROM version: v.0.8.1
CWM version: 6.0.1.2
CM version: 10-20121015-UNOFFICIAL-IndigoF
Build: cm_IndigoF-userdebug 4.1.2 JZO54K eng.koshu.20121015. 172049 test-keys
My installation procedure:
- wipe data / factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik
- wipe battery stats
- format /system
- format /sectmp
- flash ROM .zip from internal sd card
- flash 3G update from internal sd card (just to be sure that this doesn't somehow fix the deep sleep problem)
- wipe data / factory reset
- wipe dalvik
- fix permissions
I'm happy to provide any other data from my device, but I'm afraid you'd have to help me on how to get them.
I have the exact same problem. Reboots exactly 30 minutes. I have a ROW 64GB with Ericsson 3G.
Edit: I seem to have resolved the problem by setting keep Wi-Fi on during sleep to "Always".
I have exactly the same problem. I'll try the "always" option. Btw, does anyone know if there's a reason for the region setting being automatically set to Europe?
- Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try the "wifi always on" setting ASAP and post results.
- I am from Europe, so I haven't noticed this (and I unfortunately I have no clue why that happens).

This issue occurred for me frequently when I initially flashed CM10. The tablet would essentially turn off after what I observed to be 30 minutes or so, requiring the tablet to be booted up again from off.
I have not had this issue for about 1 week after I reflashed the ROM. Formatting the system in recovery seemed to do the trick. The steps I took are as follows (which you have seem to have done as well with additional steps):
Wipe cache
Wipe data (factory reset)
Wipe dalvik cache
In Advanced Options, format system
Flash ROM
Wipe cache
Wipe data
Reboot
Also I set wifi to always
Hope this helps.
Did a little bit of testing. Its not in the installation procedure, its in the wifi settings. Managed to get 36 and later 33 minutes of deep sleep with "Wifi always on" setting and all CPU locking apps disabled without any reboot. Will do another test during the night for a longer period of deep sleep, but I think you helped me get a prefect workaround (AFAIK this wifi setting should not significantly increase battery drain) and I might say that a fix is not even needed now (at least for me). Thanks again to everyone.

Glad it helped. WIFI should always be set to on anyway so you get notifications. Not sure why the default is off.
To be honest I didn't even know about this setting - never tinkered with wifi settings before and I would have never even dreamed about this being the issue causing deep sleep reboots.
And I can further confirm that this indeed was the cause of reboots, since I got sweet 3 hours 11 minutes of deep sleep since I last turned off the screen about 3 hours and 15 minutes ago with only 3% of battery drained, which is almost a miracle compared to nearly 15% with cpu locks and about 25% with reboots for the same period of time.
Glad to hear you got the issue resolved

Thanks for posting this :good:, I was stuck with this issue for a while.
stupid question probably, but where to are the settings for wifi always on?
Sent from my ThinkPadTablet using xda app-developers app
Go to Settings, then Wifi. There you can see three dots in a column (usually symbol for "more settings" in apps). Click on it and a menu will appear, where you can see the "Advanced" option. The rest is really easy.

hello, I've been trying to find out what causes this... but I've pretty much hit a dead end.
on occasional reboots, the phone reaches the homescreen and does NOT sleep.
it will stay there until I open any app
at that point
- it will vibrate
- activate wifi
- activate power-savings
- activate color setting (Professional Photo)
when the phone reboots properly (and sleeps after reaching the homescreen)
it will automatically
- vibrate
- activate wifi (I reboot with WiFi ON)
- activate power-savings
- activate color settings (Professional Photo)
hope someone can chime in on this

May sound silly, but have you tried a factory reset and wiped cache ? - Nine out of ten times it generally fixes most things on the Note. I know it's a pain but give it a shot and see.
Or just wipe the cache, and remove your google account and readd see if it makes any difference.
We are learning more and more each day that it is always something so trivial with this damn phone :|
