Anyone having trouble with BLN and deep sleep?
As soon as I get a notification and my button lights comes on my phone kicks in a "200mhz"-state and refuses to enter deep sleep until I dismiss that notification.
When I disable BLN then deep sleep works as normal even if I have some unread/unanswered sms/calls.
To test try this with BLN activated.
1. Open CPU Spy and press menu, then "Reset Timers"
2. Close CPU Spy
3. Turn off your screen
4. Trigger your Button Lights by SMS/Call/Mail or whatever.
5. Leave your phone alone with those nice button lights on for a couple of minutes.
6. Turn your screen on and reopen CPU Spy
Are you getting any deep sleep? I only get a few seconds and rest is 200mhz.
To test without BLN do this:To test try this with BLN activated.
1. Open CPU Spy and press menu, then "Reset Timers"
2. Close CPU Spy
3. Turn off your screen
4. Leave your phone alone for a couple of minutes.
5. Turn your screen on and reopen CPU Spy
Now deep sleep is working as normal.
Anyone can confirm?
Just got one tester in another thread and he says that he is getting deep sleep with BLN activated.
Yes, that is normal.
Deep sleep needs to be prevented in order to keep power fed to the lights as without power they wouldn't blink.

Simi Clock Widget. If you're using this widget, remove it and reboot your phone and then see if deep sleep works again.
Sometimes, it has no effect on deep sleep but when I've seen my phone fail to go to into deep sleep, removing this widget and rebooting fixes the situation.
I "think* the main offending component of this widget is the battery % monitor. I'm going to continue using the widget w/o the battery monitor and update this. But, in the meantime, if anyone else is experiencing failure to go into deep sleep, try this.
That cpu spy is a great app for troubleshooting deep sleep. It's free in the market. I just reset the timers before each run and turn off the screen, wait about 10 min, then turn it back on and refresh it to see if it spent any time in deep sleep.
For some reason I can't get my archos to stay asleep. after 8 seconds of sleep it wakes itself up, thus rendering itself useless as the batter dies in a matter of hours. any ideas? I've already factory reset with no effect, so it really can't be any software installed.
Do you have enabled deep sleep?
(Settings)
perhaps I was not clear it will not do any kind of sleep. no matter what I enable deep sleep disable deep sleep, what ever power setting I set the device automatically turns on after about 8 seconds. picture this, the device sitting on the desk the screen turns on, a minute passes the screen turns off, 8 seconds pass the screen turns on, repeat until battery is dead.
I don't have my Archos right now, but I would install adb on the PC, and do:
adb logcat
Then put device to sleep, wait for it to wake up, and try to figure out from the messages what app turned it back on.
You could also try looking in System Monitor at the Wake Locks tab, and see if there's anything scheduling wakeups.
(If it wasn't sleeping in the first place, I'd say check your USB host port & see if it died.)
I have the problem, my A70 is not waking up from Deep Sleep anymore.
After a while with screen off I press the power button and the screen stays black.
Only a reset brings the device back to life.
As far as I know it is a known problem, but search does not work.
Is there any solution for it?
How can I deactivate Deep Sleep permanently?
I only have the Deep Sleep On/Off option in Energy Options but there should be an option where the time before the device goes to deep Sleep can be adjusted, but I don't find it.
Disabling Deep Sleep with the button mentioned above does not help.
With most it is connected to the display light dimmed below 30%.
There is no time setting for deepsleep.
Is there an app for automatic display dimming?
Or an App, where the settings can be set so that 30% on Archos equals 0% on the App (100% == 100%)?
One more THing:
I installed the App Wake Lock:
https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl&feature=search_result
I set the wake lock to Partial Wake Lock, and got a Freeze.
Is this normal?
I thought Wake Lock should prevent going to deep sleep?
It would be interesting to check whether the device is actually not turning on, or simply not turning the LCD on. One way to check would be to perform some action that plays a sound or something.
It would also be interesting to see if you can connect via adb and see what events, if any, show up in the log when you press the power button.
Could you explain, what is adb?
Never heard of it
See this: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
This is probably fixed with an option in SuperDim 1.51dev2. See this thread.
I have an option in my ROM to enable deep sleep. I wanted to know if I'll recieve whatsapp messages,etc while in deep sleep.
Thanks
if you activate deep sleep and the sync is on you will still receive the messages and notifications. deepsleep helps the phone to save battery IF there are no operations going. your phone will wake up if there are any messages and it will enter sleep again...
That shouldn't be an option. It's normal behavior.
I'd like my tablet to use as little battery as possible when the screen is off. I already set it up to goto airplane mode when the screen turns off, restricted background data use, and have grennify set for aggressive doze.
However, when I examine battery usage, I see that it is only in "deep doze" for about 50% of the time and there are wakeup events which I assume are the doze "maintenance windows".
I have xposed and root.
Is there an app or tweak I can use to force it to goto "deep" doze when I turn the screen off and prevent any maintenance windows while the screen is off?
I realize I can just turn off the tablet, but I'm using it for a car nav device and don't wait to wait for it to boot up and settle down every time.
