Hey guys got an annoying feature that I cant seem to fix. If i close the lid of my laptop during shutdown, it shuts down but when I next boot it up it immediately goes to sleep again so i basically have to boot it twice. for example if i leave a antivirus scan on when i go to be and close the lid, it will shut down automatically, but on next boot up it goes to sleep and the power butting is flashing. any help is appreciated and please don't say leave the lid open!!
Here are the settings on my laptop
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
BTW the laptop is a new dell insprion 17r SE and this never happened on my old 17r which ran windows 7 so am thinking it is a windows 8 problem
not sure if the pics show up so here the are again hopefully?
Actually its been a windows "feature/problem" since XP (possibly earlier) that closing the lid during shutdown will not cause the system to carry on shutting down.
What actually happens is that it halts the shutdown. Then goes to sleep. Then when you lift the lid, hit the power button, it wakes up. But because it was shutting down before it resumes the shutdown.
Windows has always done that, does it on stepdad brother and sisters netbooks, mums laptop, my laptop, dads laptop, both grandparents laptops and friends laptops. Its just something windows does and always has done.
If anything its more likely that your old laptop had a fault if it wasnt doing it, or just an altered setting.
The only way I know to fix it is to go into the advanced power plan settings and look for the "lid close" activity. By default its on sleep. Change it to "Do Nothing" or similar. Whenever your laptop lid is shut it wont go to sleep anymore. It will stay running as normal, it will turn the laptop display off the save energy but the system itself will still be running, if you were to plug a mouse, keyboard and monitor in they would carry on functioning.
Then to fix lack of sleep, just set the power button activity to be sleep. or just click sleep, that works too. Although I personally preferred having it set to hibernate as my laptop only had a really short battery, when I first got the laptop its battery only lasted 2 and a half hours and rapidly degraded to the point where now you unplug it at full charge it immediately flashes the battery critical warning and gives you about 30 seconds to run to the next power point. In the mean time while it did still have a semi usable battery it was more useful to have the extra energy saving of hibernate than it was to have sleep.
Think i found the problem. I always leave my wireless ouse dongle plugged in an i think that seems to cause the laptop to go to sleep? is this a bug?

My nook, even after charging completely, dissconnecting the power cord, and using it for hours after, always shows a ? for battery status. Under settings battery % always reads unknown.
Anyone experienced this problem? My nook is rooted (rotted?).

Although I haven't read about the BatteryManager ever returning unknown,
I'd be interested to know what the battery/charging status says in UsbMode.
This app has a group that displays all the broadcasted info on the battery.

Solved
So, I let the thing sit for weeks. Too busy with school to send it back to b&n for a reaplcement. I finally decided to deal with it, I plugged it in and in a few minutes it said battery to low to charge. I had to wait 15 minutes. So i let it charge till full. Upon booting, and unplugging, battery registered 100 percent and decresed with normal use.
In other words, let it totally run out of battery (could take weeks) then plug it in and let it fully charge.
Worked for me
I would like to confirm the OP's results. My battery started doing the question mark thing out-of-the-blue, about a month ago. I tried unrooting, restoring to factory settings, I even tried older versions of the Nook software to see if that made any difference, and nothing. I tried to drain the battery, transferring files to and from the Nook over wifi, and even when I couldn't boot from low battery, as soon as I plugged it in I got question mark battery. Being in Canada, getting my Nook replaced is a huge pain, so I left it for about a month. Pulled it out today, just for the heck of it, and I got the Not enough battery to turn on screen (which was new, when the battery was in question mark mode it would always attempt to turn on, but fail silently as soon as power was removed). I left it plugged in for a few minutes, and lo and behold it booted up and displayed the charging animation on the battery icon. I charged it to full, and it seems to be as good as new.
So, for anybody else that has this issue, the fix seems to be to let it drain for a very long time, then recharge. Shortcuts don't work, and it isn't a hardware issue that needs replacement.
I flashed P6800XXLQ2 everything is butter smooth and rock solid stable, but... it chews battery like crazy when it idles.
I had 30% batt, locked it and went to sleep. This morning I found it dead. If you look at the battery curve it always goes down at almost the same slope, does not matter you use it, or not.
EDIT
I tried wiping battery stats and disabling WiFi wile locked. Still the same.
I follow below suggestion and it seems to work.

I had the same issue having my WiFi off. I had to turn it On and then Tablet started working for days just as before
Turn on - for longer battery life, weird, but that works

So which of these I should chose?
Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep if you turn this off it’ll help extend your battery’s life when the device is put into sleep mode.

Always.
OH WOW! Last night I disabled WIFI & Mobile data and locked my device. It had 59% battery. Now it's 58%!!! After 10 hours. There are some serious problems with LQ2 power management.
It aways goes down this straight slope. Does not matter if I use my tab at all. But last night?
So phase 2 of my test, I will use WIFI only, and no mobile data.

some times this happened to me also ... and then I noticed because some application still active in the background eg game and youtube internet browser. even after I quit .
I did experience also my galaxy tab 7.7 was warm /hot ... this was because the game and internet browser still active in the background.
So after that I always "closed all applications" from "task manager" ... no more battery issue or warm /hot issue again.
OK I have disabled mobile data entire day and set to disable wifi when locked. My tab was almost unused all day and this happened.
IT IS WIFI RELATED!

Shows Wi-Fi scans are killing my battery and I have my Wi-Fi turned off. I bought this phone off line (swappa) and I thought everything was great. Looked good, worked great. Then I'm getting USB errors and no PC can see the phone. And MASSIVE battery drain. I unplugged the phone this morning. Put it in airplane mode left it on the desk. Came home and the phone was below 20% just sitting here. (10 hours) the phone is not rooted and I can't root because no USB access. Any suggestions? I've reset phone twice. Disabled all software possible. The phone has dropped 1% typing this message!?!?

Sounds defective. I'd exchange for a new G2 if you're in your exchange period

did u turn off location services in setting see if it helps
Yes. I'm really confused. I think I may have unfortunately bought a dud. It's unfortunate really. If I could get the USB to work I could root and go from there but it's pretty much a paper weight right now. Can't use a phone that's dead in a few hours of not even using it. Hehe.
Thanks for your reply! I really do appreciate all suggestions.

In recent memory I've noticed that I'm losing a significant chunk of battery even with the screen off.
Looking at this screenshot from GSAM battery monitor, I've barely been using my phone while it sits on my desk but the battery has dropped 25% with the wifi looking like it's been active the entire time.
How should I go about figuring out which offending app is causing this?

Go into Settings/Location, hit the menu button and select Scanning, then turn off WiFi scanning.

It's no longer in that location, see above.
wifi scanning has been turned off in location and it's still the same result.
OP, I have the same problem and it eats the battery. It happens everytime I take my phone off charger, turn wifi on, browse some Internet, turn the wifi off. WIFI stays on according to battery stats. The only thing that helps is to slide the wifi toggle on in setting and then off and reboot.
My Nexus 6P already needed a change of battery for a lot of use (I was driving Uber), the device reached the point where it could only be kept on for a few minutes connected to the charger, after a while it did not turn on again. I bought a new battery in Amazon brand Beltron and installed it. The first day, it came to load up to 96% and I used the device in the same percentage as for 40 minutes listening to music online until it started to go down, but normal. Once it dropped to 90% it started downloading faster and when it was about 70% it was downloaded as one point per second (exaggerated). After that, with only a few hours of use since I installed the battery, I have not managed to get the device to work again, because I leave it connected to the charger and it does not charge. I turn on the device but it immediately shuts down and is more curious than when I connect the charger, even though it had been turned off at 0%, it appears as if it had 25% but it is useless.
Things I have already done:
- Try another charger
- Remove batterystats.bin from TWRP
@Javichino Return the battery its probably a lemon. My first ordered battery from eBay had early shutdown issues. Luckily on eBay vendors value there ratings so they immediately sent a replacement. Been using that battery 5 months now working great zero issues. On Amazon you get a couple months to return so hopefully your in that time period.
Something abnormal happened this morning, when I turned on the device, without being connected to the electric current, it indicated a 35% charge which was reduced to 1% in 30 seconds. However, being at 1% was on for about 10 minutes until it finally went out.
I've been doing this several times, every time I turn it on, it appears loaded and drops to 1% in seconds ...

Your wasting time the battery is defective. Can you send it back for a replacement?
