1. Calm down.
2. Check your time out settings. Are you SURE it is set to time out?
3. If nothing helps, use the reset to factory settings option. That will fix it but everything will get wiped so use a software backup to back up all your contacts, settings, and installed apps. Let us know how it goes.

I did a master reset and it will not time out if I get a text

I am having the same issue. I have tried doing a "factory data reset" via settings/privacy but still have the issue.

Are ya'll rooted and are ya'll using the default text app or handcent ?

Default text app. Non-rooted.

I would try Odin, factory reset wasn't really doing anything for me when I just wanted to reset my phone but Odin took me back to factory read This and make sure you have all the Samsung drivers installed first

Wifi off icon w/ red x (syndicate rom w/ xtreme kernel 1.1/1.2)

Does anyone know how to disable this feature? Every time my screen goes blank, and I turn it back on, I have this icon in the top left hand corner with a red x through it saying "turn wifi off". I want my wifi to come back on when I unlock the device, but I forced to turn it off then back on. Extremely annoying...

I may be wrong but check in the settings/applications/ manage applications and you can delete it from there. I think its called wifi status.

Just go into wifi settings and pres menu and go into advanced and set the sleep policy to "never". It saves a lot of battery. That way it doesn't disconnect when the screen goes off, nd then you'll only see it when you really have no wifi

You want your Wi-Fi connection to be available when you unlock your screen. From your Home screen:
Hit the Menu button & then go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi settings
Hit the Menu button (again) and select Advanced
Set the Wi-Fi sleep policy to Never
That stops the Wi-Fi radio from sleeping when the screen is turned off. This will likely solve your issue.

tried that. still there looking me in the face mocking me.... lol

What kernel are you using? Apparently this is an issue with Xtreme kernel.

may very well be. It was happening in 1.1, and now I have 1.2 (xtreme kernel) on syndicate rom.

You can remove wifi status using these steps. I do it every flash.

This is a known bug with xtreme kernel. The wifi goes to sleep with the screen off even with it set to never. Semi sporadic, and worse on 1.0.2 than 1.0.1 in my experience.

[Q] Power button alternative?

Hello what alternatives are there for powering off the device and rebooting the device please.

Take the battery out

Then how is he supposed to turn it back on.

OK sorry maybe I wasn't clear what I want is to an alternative to turning of the device without having to pres the power button please, and also since it appears the play doesn't come with a default app to reboot the device what are you guys using please?

Only rooted phones can reboot. I'm not sure how you would want to turn the phone back on as well. If without using the power button it would be impossible without root.

Is there a way to turn the ouya all the way off with the controller?

Or is the only way to press and hold the button on top of the console.

I was wondering about this myself. I run Nova Launcer. So what I was thinking is if there's a shortcut or maybe a widget I could install to shut it off completely. Haven't checked for those tho..

If you download quickboot from the play store then it gives you the option of making a power off widget. I use that since sometimes I'm too lazy to get up and just want to roll over . Also in the stock launcher there's a power off button but it doesn't shut the ouya all the way off. And then there is editing the layout of the controller itself in I believe system/usr/keylayout/something.kl replace something with the controller or keyboard you wanna change. By the way a .kl file can be opened and edited in any text editing program.

good info gotta try that

I noticed today that when you press the power button on top, the console goes into standby. You need to press and hold for a second then it asks if you want to power down. This is a full power down
HDMI shuts down and even it the screen still has power, that eventually shuts down to.
Let me know it that helps.

The only full power down i found is holding the button on top of the console. The off option the controller gives u seem to only shut off the video out put which can be woken up very easily.

So quickboot is very good. Only thing is , it instantly kills everything. Like physically pulling the plug. Should I be concerned it's not properly 'putting everything away' before shut down? Thoughts?

From main menu ,by pressing y button we can switch it off,right?

This doesn't technically turn the OUYA off, it puts it to sleep in a low power mode. While it should be okay, even over long periods of time, it may not be the ideal way to turn off the system all the time.

I had the same issue too, but it can be 'fixed' by changing an option in the menus. If you go into the Manage->System->Advanced menus, then go into Developer options and turn it on via the on/off toggle switch in the top right hand corner, then go down to the 'Stay awake' option and uncheck it. It should shutdown completely now.

But its still to easy to wake up only sure way I found is to hold the button on top of the ouya.

My understanding is that this disables the hdmi wake-up issue, but still allows the controller to wake it up. I was using Android Tuner to shut down the OUYA, but never actually checked to see if it was in some type of sleep mode. I'm fairly certain it was completely off. I haven't fixed su since the last OTA, because I have been content with my setup. Next OTA I'll probably do a full data wipe and try some of the fun stuff that has been created recently.

After doing that configuration change, I found it doesn't wake up unless I activate the controller and turn it on. Before, it would start up again on it's own and just sit at the prompt even after I told it to shutdown.

Yes, that make sense, that's the behaviour I see. I'm guessing it wakes up the Ouya even though I shut it down because I leave my monitor/tv on and it goes into sleep mode automatically. If I turned off my monitor/tv, it probably wouldn't do that anymore.

I have a HDMI splitter with a blue light to show what channel is being used even with this new change the light show active it only goes of when the ouya is powered down from the top button.

Okay, this is plane and simple all, there are TWO WAYS to turn off the OUYA COMPLETELY! This DISABLES the ability to turn on the console by the controller:
FIRST is the built in way of holding down the button till the dialog comes up then clicking it off.
SECOND is to sideload an app that does that with a button press. Apparently some of these DO NOT work and I'm not sure which ones do, BUT if you can turn it on with the controller it is NOT all the way off.
ALL other ways will NOT completely turn it off!
IF you can turn it on by the controller it is ONLY ON STANDBY/SLEEP

I'm not sure what all the shouting is about. I think the last few posts were clear about whether or not OUYA was asleep or off. I may setup su tonight if I time. I have had an unlucky streak of OTAs releasing within a few days of every time I setup su. Only a big deal because of the plug being a pain to access in the cabinet. Wireless adb has caused a few people headaches I'd rather avoid. If I do, I'll verify what the shutdown command does in some root apps.

Slow Wifi ? There is a Solution to make it faster

Turning off the WiFi Power Save Mode can help optimize the connectivity and performance of your device but it has the tendency to drain your battery faster. So, consider this tradeoff first before disabling it.

Than hou have to change the Title of the thread, is a little bit misleading.........

Maybe I should warn everybody, this will kill your battery within 24-36 hrs, even if you don't use your phone at all. I did try this setting, didn't do anything to my WiFi connection, but my battery had hard time to last me whole day with moderate use. It's a good thing I finally remember I changed that setting, because my battery life was beyond terrible. I can go 4-5 days without charging with light use, but this setting made it hard to last 1 day.YDMV

Unless I'm missing something, I don't get a wifi option. I guess that this isn't anything to do with which ROM?
