I got a new gTab from Woot. I flashed CM7 onto it with the latest files on the wiki. Everything looks good except that I get no notifications when the sleep is turned off. That is a bit annoying. Also, sometimes the wifi disappears. I need to toggle the wifi button in the notification bar to get it back. I have seen many people complain about it but I don't see a clear solution. Can someone give a noob guide to fixing this if there is a solution?
EDIT: I pinged the tablet with the screen off and could not do so. I could ping it when the screen was on. the screen turning off was disabling my wifi. Can some1 tell me how to fix this? Please?
First thing to check is your wifi sleep policy. You can find this under the wifi setting menu. Hit the menu button again for Advanced setting. Under the wifi sleep policy set it to never.
Cheers
Forgot to mention that it was set to Never. The issue still happens.
I got it to work finally! I had to update to pershoot's 2.6.32.39 kernel. 40 does not work.

Suddenly, my phone screen just turns on for 2 seconds, then goes back to sleep
for no apparent reason, (no notifications). Itll happen again minutes later
I factory reset it and it still is doing this
Any ideas of what might be wrong?
Gblur 3.5
mine seems to do the same thing, i have my timeout set for few seconds so screen stays on for little bit, i cant seem to figure out what causes it.
This is a longshot, but Fancy Widget has an option to wake up the device to refresh. Maybe that's what's going on.
i dont have that app, but i do have unlock wifi. and keep my wifi on all day. i do notice that wifi disconnects sometimes even though in power setting i said for it to always stay on. Thats another issue though.
ss2006 what apps you have that do background stuff? i know i have craigslist and ebay, but usually i cant see any notification making it come on like you said.
Couldn't find much relavent information to this, but has a quick Q.
On CM7.1, After the screen timeout delay, where the screen automatically turns off (1, 2, 5 mins..), or if i even turn off the screen (not power down), sometimes it simply won't wake back up and i need to reboot by holding the power button down.
Anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it, or simply a known issue?

Thanks bro, thats actually where i started but found nothing at all related.
I had the same problem when running this, turning off wifi sleep and the on/off animations seemed to fix it.
Hey guys I'm using CM7 Alpha 2.
I notice that the wifi doesn't go to sleep 15min after the screen is off.
I checked the policy and it is set to Sleep "when screen is turned off"
There is no difference if I set to "Never while charging"
I even reinstalled the ROM from scratch and still the same problem.
Any suggestions?
it will probably get fixed sooner or later(this is a alpha thats before a beta )

Is yours not turning off(sleep) the WIFI off either?
I think with alpha 2 wifi is on all the time, regardless of the sleep setting. This was probably done to help with the SOD issue until they find a better solution.
as a temporal workaround, I used tasker to:
turn off the wifi 10 minutes after the screen is off.
while screen is off, wake up wifi every 30 min to check emails for 1 minute.
turn on wifi if i wake up the touchpad.
Does anyone else have an issue with the WiFi sleep policy? My WiFi never turns off when my tablet is in sleep mode. I set it to 'never', turn off the screen and no matter how long I wait, it is still connected to WiFi while the screen is off (which destroys the battery now). I have been turning it off manually and putting it into low performance mode every time I turn off the screen, but would like this to be automatic. Any suggestions?
Edit: wrong section, sorry. MOD please delete this! I am posting it in General.
I've had this problem with both a rooted tablet with an extra launcher ontop of the B&N one, and now that I've put CM7 Final on it. Basically, it'll go to sleep after not being used for a few minutes, and then when I try to get it back on, it won't come back. The N button, or the power button, neither works, and I have to hard reboot it (hold the power button a while) to get back into it.
It doesn't happen every time, there doesn't even seem to be any rhyme or reason towards why it happens. Sometimes it'll just be sitting on the desktop when it happens, other times I'll have had a book open when it happens. Other times, it will come right back as soon as I push a button.
It's getting really frustrating, honestly. Is there any way to prevent this?
There's been some discussion of this (SOD = Sleep of Death) in the CM7 threads. You should look there for more info. I think searching for "wakelock" will find you what you need... I think that's what it's called. It's an interim fix.
I have been seeing this same thing. I originally thought it was something I loaded so completely unrooted it and let it run for a bit and rerooted it to find it is now doing it again. will look into what CRE mentioned
Only real thing I can find doing a lot of searching and reading is this ...

Wake Lock app
Yeah, im having the same problem! It happens for me everytime. Im going to install that Wake Lock App tonight, see if it helps... my only concern is that will it drain battery life?
cheers steve
Weird as hell. Mine has not done this for a few days now. I do notice it happens when my WiFi is acting up.
last time it happened to me I had it sitting on the charger while I slept and I had left the wifi enabled.
I wonder if this is something to to do with the wifi sleep policy. I know on my android phone there is an advanced settings to access this.
any more issues with this? I have since been making sure to keep my wifi off when not in use, but I did have this happen once again when the battery was below 30% and sitting idle for a while.
I've had a similar issue where I need to hit the power button two or three times to get it to boot up on my CM7 Final internal build and I can't change the "go to sleep" settiing.

apart from finding that Wake Lock app... Has anyone found a more permanent fix for the SOD issue?
I tried this and it seems to have worked as I haven't had the problem since I made this change.
Go to: Settings>Wireless & networks>Wi-Fi Settings. When you are in the Wi-Fi Settings screen, touch the Menu button in the status bar. It will bring up a dialog box. Select "Advanced" and on the Advanced screen touch Wi-Fi Sleep policy. That will pop up another dialog box and you select the "Never" radio button.
