Hi,
my new archos 101 often cannot wake up after sleep (deep sleep or screen timeout).
tried many methods: wifi disabled, battery booster, flight mode, sounds disabled... no luck.
i installed new fw, 2.1.8 and arctool with markets and google app and some games.
uninstalling maps and disabling wifi location didnt help. whats strange, is that sometimes screen turn on after 30s+ seconds..
i am new, but is there any way to check what's a process blocking it?
write to logs or connect via usb and check?
help very much appreciated
I'm having the same problem...
I just keep pressing the on/off button until the screen turns on. Didn't find a fix yet.
>>> i installed new fw, 2.1.8 and arctool with markets and google app and some games.
those were my 1st steps with archos, so dont know if it works in previous firmware.
right now, i dont want to do hard reset.
There is allready a discussion about this.
It seems that after the press, the archos is waking up, but the displaylight itself doesn't come up.
If you switch the display to abough 30% ( Settings/Display ) this doesn't happen again.
NOT kidding: the Archos has trouble turning on when cold. Try warming it on the radiator if its <15 degrees celcius.

30% of what? Increased brightness? I went to settings/display and couldn't find percentage level
As i don't have an english version, i can't tell you what you should read there,
but which other setting in display has percentages?
no % displayed, but just set if for 1/3 of the progress bar.
Jeezus, i cant believe it, but i can confirm that it's a brightness setting issue. It's so ridiculous but it's true. I have been frantically trying to find a solution to this problem for the past 30 mins, and turning the brightness setting to 40% worked to restore the screen after the soft sleep mode, when previously i had to keep rebooting the damn thing by longpressing the power button. THANKS A MILLION, GUYS!
Ohh i see i am not alone = ]
Thank you for the Workaround!

can someone please tell me how to disable auto brightness on
x10i eternity rom build 003
i tried using every brightness app/widget possible to turn it off but as soon as i turn it off and put the phone under different light setting i can see that the auto brightness is still on
i tried using adjbrightness but it keeps telling me that my phone isnt rooted; anyone get this app to work on x10??
please help n sorry if this questions been asked and answered before. this forum is getting too big and broad sometimes to find anything
thx in advance
Have you tried Sparepart? (That's the name)
Strange, i can't seem to turn on my autobrightness. It used to work perfectly in android 1.6. And i haven't noticed it untill recently. When auto brightness is checked, it just stays the same, even when i hold it directly under a lamp. Maby there is a bug in the software that prevents switching it on or off?
I'd also like an answer to this problem, because with auto brightness on the telephone is a battery eater.. you have to keep it to the minimum level to disable it, but when you are under a strong light, like outdoor with a sunny weather, it's difficult to see your screen's details. as you select a brightness level different from zero, the autobrightness turns on and eats the battery.
I hope I'm missing the solution to this, and somebody will help, because all the applications i've tried (spareparts included) didn't worked.
I'm quite confuse now.....
What actually do we need......
Turn it on...
or
Turn it off...
LOL
heh, so some people want a way to turn it off and others, like me, want to find a way to turn it on?
what a crazy phone..
I'm sure there used to be a tick box in the display settings to turn on/off the auto brightness. Anyway, i've tried various applications myself to get it on but nothing does it. I think the best solution is for us all to swap phones .
Spare Parts doesn't work for me, i tried enabling it, restarting the phone and jumping under my duvet.. but it didn't change
Did you update to 2.1? It was disabled in 2.1 as far as I know.
So the easiest solution, upgrade to 2.1! Else, I don't remember the menu but it's somewhere in the settings under 1.6.
I think we've all updated to 2.1 here =)
and yes, in 1.6 there was a box to tick to unable/disable autobrightness.
But, in 2.1, this feature has disappeared, leaving a seekbar and a damned widget which doesn't allow you to set or no autobrightness.
Hi,
The autobrightness is still there. It can be turned on/of from a stock SE connection widget. The different state for brightness is "minimum" -> "auto" -> "maximum"

I can get, either 0%, or 100% brightness, with the ambient sensor disabled. Anything in-between, fades constantly.
No fix for this, i presume?
Reading websites while the screen fades in/out every couple of seconds drives me mad.
Ive never had any problem with it as long as you dont lean in front of it all the time lol.

When I unlock the phone it always starts up very dim and sometimes it turns bright sometimes it doesn't. I have auto-brightness off and I have my brightness set to 100%. I have to move the slider off of 100% and back to 100% to get it that bright. It is very weird. Anybody know how to fix this?
I have the same problem.

Is it dim on the home screen or certain apps? cuz internet browser, video etc got their own brightness settings built in that you have to change from the settings within the app.

It is dim from the lock screen. Everything once I unlock it is dim. If I lock and unlock the phone like 3 times fast it is fine, but it's a pain in the ass. I'll see if I can take a video of it later when I get home.
I know you said "everything" but try to go to internet browser and disable "auto-brightness" under brightness setting.
Also upgrade your firmware to the latest one to see if that help. My Smart detect is not working and after upgraded it work every single time plus the cell stand by is much improved
I just got my phone back from service, they updated to LF5 - so far it has solved my proplems with dim
I have had 2 handsets that do this now. Its really annoying especially when you are outside.
Basically what is happening is that when your screen dims down before it goes off thats what is happening when you unlock the phone.
I can be using it for 5-10 secs before the full brightness kicks in.
It has nothing to do with power saver or internet. Just running through the home pages and apps list it is doing it.
I am on the latest firmware too.
Does anyone know whats causing it? Is it just a faulty handset (or 2)?
Mine the same. I don't think there bad devices I think its just software related tbh

Hello,
I got a G9 101 8GB version from a friend of mine. Almost everything is working fine (except touchscreen going crazy at times, registering touch on place where it did not happen, or eveen when not touching the tablet at all). But the big annoyance is that my brightness control is not working.
I can slide the slider around as much as I want to, it does not change the brightness. And because the screen has the biggest power consumption, this is really annoying, as the brightness is set at max.
Tried serching on this topic, found nothing.
I have reseted the tablet to factory settings, updated it, nothing helped. Any ideas? Thanks.
For your touch screen issue is it the same as this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912138
Have you tried any 3rd party apps to see if they are able to adjust brightness ?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
Thank you for replying.
The touchscreen issue is a bit different, it occurs only occasionally and only in corner (ie it pushes back or "menu", depending how I hold the tablet). That is not a big issue now as it occurs sparely.
The brightness control is persistent. I tries some apps and widgets for brightness control, I can do what I want, it wont dim down . Any suggestions?
Also I would like to be reassurd - Archos has 1,5A AC charger, am I right?
Thanks.

If you got terminal emulator or adb installed you can go "ghetto" and adjust the value in the sysfs, try "su -c 'echo 50 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness'". needs root obviously and it's far from ideal but it will get the job done.

Thanks. Today the weirdest thing happened, I was playing a game and the screen dimmed a bit. At first I was like oh no, it is broken.. But now, the brightness control just works. Absolutely no idea what happened.
Now if I could figure out the ghost touches, they occur only, or better said mostly (90%) after starting the devide from sleep and only in the right down corner. After I mutlitouch the device many times it stops. Lol.
Anyway, really thanks for trying to help me. Appreciated.

Hi all, apologies if this has been answered else where.
Currently running a Lenovo S20-30 Win 10 dual boot with the latest Beta release. Surprisingly really enjoying it. The only real issue I am having is it waking after it goes to sleep. Mouse and cursor frozen and wont fully wake unless a reboot.
Is anyone else having similar issues and have a possible solution?
Thanks and appreciate the help.

My lenovo T500 reboots when it goes to sleep under Remix. My current "fix" is running a "stay alive" app I purchased for $2 (the free ones had too many ads or not enough functionality) that will dim the screen but not let it sleep if it has wall power or a good charge. I am also surprised how much I am enjoying it; the T500 is a screaming machine with Remix. It was barely adequate for web and RDP under Windows. I am getting incredibly good performance in Netflix, TWC TV app, Chrome, Dolphin and Microsoft RDP under Remix.

so...
details?id=com.synetics.stay.alive
you have to figure out the rest.
I made sure it worked at least somewhat before contributing to get the additional features. I am really hopeful that a later beta or some other app will give me more control. My notebook has a screen off mode that is better than just dimming but isn't sleep. I wish I could get it to use that. The dimming that the Stay Alive app does was enough that the screen would not keep me up at night but there is enough of a glow to know it is on. But it makes Remix more usable now.
I had this issue too. I noticed if you tap the power button once, the screen comes back on but the mouse won't still work sometimes. If you just tap the power button a 2nd time after the screens on, it would start working again. But I did have trouble w/ wifi coming back on after sleep. I had to toggle it off/on. Let me know if the double tap of the power button fixes it for you too?
BTW, I just added another little app - LockScreen (a free one). That way I can easily lock the screen if I walk away for a few minutes, have it dim but not sleep and reboot.
Tapping the power button again works for me to.
Tap, double tap not working here. Shame. Hopefully a fix soon.

Another update on my sleep issue and workaround...
I don't know how things changed; I may have tripped a setting or something but using the LockScreen app was putting it to sleep and triggering the reboot instead of giving the Stay Alive app a chance to catch it, so I quit using the LockScreen and just let it time out and then the Stay Alive app would dim the screen and keep it from timing out. So no reboot, but unfortunately no lock screen; I wanted it to lock. Poked around some more and found an app listed as Hidden Settings for Galaxy but it isn't really Galaxy specific. One of the the things it does is let you set up and enable Daydream mode. It turns out Daydream doesn't work properly on Remix, but it fails in a good way. If you select the clock (or anything else, but stay away from full screen stuff as sometimes that will stay in the way for several seconds) and set it for both docked and charging, then when the screen timeout is reached the clock will show for a couple of seconds and then it will go to the lock screen (assuming you enabled, I guess), not go to sleep and Stay Alive dims the screen. Clunky and convoluted, but it ends up doing exactly what I wanted.
ETA - One other little nit - After it dims on the lock screen, focus is set to the text box and you just have to start typing the password to get the screen to brighten and unlock. Clicking does not cause the screen to brighten, which worried me at first (thought it was hung).

Thanks, Stay Alive works. Be interesting to see what it does to battery life. Hopefully a fix will come.

Just be careful poking around at settings; I did something to make mine have issues with being locked after I had it working. More tweaks got it okay(ish) again. This is not a good solution for battery use; I don't think there really is one if standby doesn't work. Android/Remix doesn't seem to offer levels of powering off. What I would like to do is power off the screen, spin down the disk but leave the processor and wifi powered.

Yep going back to sleep again and not waking up properly with SA. Think will give up until a fix.

Mine is only doing that now on battery and it is usually on wall power. As I use it on battery so rarely, the simple answer is to just set the screen timeout higher when I do. On an older notebook like mine, a battery gives you freedom to move around the house/office with the machine running and maybe run without plugging in for two or three hours. It's my semi-lightweight UPS.
Anyway, I am not giving up. This is the only thing not working perfectly for me. My camera, mic, bluetooth, mouse and wifi all work fine. I stream videos in Youtube, Netflix, TWC TV, Amazon, FB and browsers with good sound and picture; no lag. I connect to work with Microsoft RDP and have less lag than using RDP in Windows. Yesterday I booted over to Windows to increase the size of my data.img (and had no trouble with that) and that definitely hardened my resolve. It is hard to believe I was putting up with that kind of speed just a few days ago. Now that I know I don't have to it seems worse.
After more research, I am back again with what I think is the final answer. I should and likely will write an app to undo this if my battery gets really low, but all you have to do if you never want your machine to go into sleep mode is press Alt-F1 to get the console and then do something like this:
# echo nosleeptilbrooklyn >/sys/power/wake_lock
And then Alt-F7 to get back. I did that as a test, unplugged from the charger and let it sit about 10 minutes with display timeout at 5 minutes. 5 minutes in the screen went dark. That used to be followed by a reboot about 5 seconds later. It did not reboot. When I woke it, it did initially show the main screen and then blanked it and brought up the password screen. For some reason I had to click before I could type (usually don't have to). Anyway, the above "fix" worked. To undo it, I need to just do this:
# echo nosleeptilbrooklyn >/sys/power/wake_unlock
There is a programmatic interface to do pretty much the same thing but with more options and I am thinking I may write something to use that to set the lock and then check the battery on a timer and unlock if it falls below 20% or some other setting.
EDIT TO ADD - A little more poking around yielded info that pretty much all manufacturers have had battery protection for several years now and will not let the battery run down into the kill zone even if the OS is frozen or even if it actively tries to stay alive. I would still advice checking your BIOS and/or doing some research on your particular system but it is likely safe to just leave it locked if you only want it shut down, hibernate or go into standby when you specifically choose that interactively.

Can anyone tell me how to change the screen timeout/sleep time on the M5? I've tried display, battery and security settings but it doesn't appear to be in any of them. It's a real pain trying to read emails, news, flipboard etc with the standard (30 seconds?) timeout.

Just discovered it is under Display/Sleep. But Sleep option is greyed out.

I've had the CMR-W09B for a week now and found that when I change the sleep time it always reverts to the default 30 seconds after a while. Power saving mode not active. Installed Screebl Pro to manage timeout, but unlike my many other devices using the app, it seems to be overridden by the system and doesn't work. Whether Screebl is active or not, or what I set the timeout to, the timeout returns to 30 seconds.
This happening to anyone else, or am I just special?
I got it just turn off your battery savers
