ive searched for things such as "sleep crash", "sleep bug", "screen wont turn on" etc. but can seem to find anything that tells me anything other than turn off wifi (which i tried to no avail). My issue is that when i press the power button for 1 second to turn off my archos 70 screen it will not turn back on. Same thing happens when i let it fall asleep. If i leave it plugged in and not allow it to turn off screen i have no issues. My apologies if i just don't know what words to search for ... i tried. In on the .4 firmware (latest) with no mods. This has happened through the last 3 firmwares from archos. Any ideas?
Have a you tried a full reinitialization (in settings > repair and formatting) and then reinstalling the latest firmware? If you have just been updating the firmware, the problem may have been deeper.
Thats strange... I have a similar issue with my 101: when i leave my tablet asleep for more than 20min, I can't turn it back on without doing a hard reset. Now it only happens when I simply shut off the screen and leave it alone. If I hold the power button and use deep sleep though, it works just fine. When I can't get it started I notice the little power light is on, but the screen stays black... any suggestions??
I have read somewhere in this forums that re-calibrating your screen from Settings might help, but I still didn't tied - if someone try please post results.

No, you use the app rigth. The app only disable deepsleep.

i had the same problem on my 32, albeit not that frequently. Downloading the FW and reflashing it seems to have made the problem go away.
You know what? Strangely enough after I replied to your post I downloaded the latest fw (2.1.4) and the problem seems to have gone away no special flash no repair I just installed and rebooted and so far no prob... I will keep testing this and post results
Edit* Ok so far so good... no problems. I'm actually surprised I'm getting better response from the device despite everyone's warnings about 2.1.4. But that's another topic. I think its just a bad install of your current FW, but I'm just guessing... My device has had the issue since I got it, I just decided to live with it but like I said the latest update fixed it... So it HAS to be the FW

err I'm afraid that I spoke too soo. My device keeps getting stuck and won't awake from sleep. This seems to happen most after switching wifi on or off, specifically whilst the device is playing music.

how are you installing the firmware? maybe im doing it wrong. I let the device update to latest 2.1.4 and then i wiped it via the settings and repair menu in android.
Edit**
like this??:
Step 1: Download the android 2.2 firmware for your archos tablet from here,you might a get a false positive notification from your browser as they are unaware of .AOS format, so ignore that and download it.
Step 2:Go to Menu > Settings > Device Storage & USB connection > USB connection mode of your tablet and set the connection mode to Mobile Media Device (MTP) and now connect your Tablet to pc.
Step 3:Now when the tablet is detected you will see a hard drive icon,double tap and open it and copy and paste the firmware (.AOS) file into the hard drive(make sure you dont copy it in any folder inside it like Music,Videos etc).
Unplug the USB connection and the Archos device will automatically locate the update file and will prompt you for the update,just follow the screen options and you are done,if it does not prompt you for an update then you might have accidentally misplaced the file in one of the folders,just locate the .AOS file from the file manager and and open it to start the update.
No no it wasn't that complicated... It was actually the simplest fix for a difficult problem. My device when I got it was running 2.1.2 out the box... Even then It had the screen problem. When I got the chance I installed 2.1.3 OVER THE AIR. Straight from Archos. Still had the issue though, I figured it would have been fixed but was greatly disappointed... Then I sort of just lived with the problem for awhile... I saw that the 2.1.4 update was released but was wary about downloading it because sooo many people are having issues. Just the other day though, the device cut off on me again and I figured to hell with it... So I downloaded the 2.1.4 OTA as well... no website, no manual install, I just let the device run its course on its own. After the update, it rebooted normally and it's been working great since... Sorry to hear not everyone is so fortunate... I really hope this helps somewhat
my mother just bought an sgs2 about 1 week ago. she is not that expert in phones and all that, but she has a serious problem now. she made a lockscreen code witch she cant remember now. stupid right. how can u bypass it or dissable it. i must say i have tried my self almost anything i can think of
this is what i my self have tried:
factory reset / hardreset didnt work
flashing stock rom again, didnt work
flashing 3 custom roms didnt work, to mention with root kernels
and no my mom never made an gmail account. she only uses it for calling and sms
so what the hell is there to do??
or do i need take to a samsung service center???
You're likely looking at data loss by factory resetting and overloading it with wrong passwords from recovery mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17039887#post17039887
Though you say you've factory reset already and it didn't work - what didn't work?
when i did factory reset and rebooted the phone, it went okay, and i thought i had dissablet it, but no, when the screens turns black and u want use it again, the lockscreen keeps apper
Can't you just disable it before the screen turns off then? Settings --> Location and security --> Set up screen lock --> None.
no when trying to dissable it asks for the code, u must enter the code before able to dissable, im stuck, what should i do
I just noticed your thread [Q] screen locked, need help.

2 days ago i found a sgs2 on the ground outside at the city. the screen is totally ****ed but it still works. so i thought cool, who ever lost it, should have been more carefully, but honestly i dont care.
but when i turn it on, i can se its on cynogenmode but i cant use cause of some screen password. i have tried everything from re flash og several types of roms, including stock, cynogenmode and exonys, but all appear but it wont install new rom. i cant enter factory mode, cause when i try it says need password. so i cant do a hardreset. i have searched the net for everything, and i have tried almost possible ways to get around that screen lock, but nothing works. so how can i get rid of it??? when i press volume upp with home and turn on button it askes for passworld, when i do it with volume down, i get into odin mode. i have tried 0000 and 00000000 but still dont work. any one can help?? pls

So I have just noticed this morning when I'm texting....
Every time I'm using the keyboard, the soft keys below (the back, home, task, and input method keys) were... gone. Disappear. I don't know why, it was normal yesterday and I didn't do anything. It makes me kind of difficult every time I have finished typing, because I have to tap on the screen, and cannot hide the keyboard using the back softkey, and I cannot change keyboard input (I switch between the Japanese and international keyboard a lot). but, when I use the keyboard on the lock screen to type my password, the soft keys were still there. Intact. ._.
I have tried to restart twice, but nothing changed. What is wrong? How do I get my soft keys back when I use the keyboard? I'm using the stock Lollipop 5.0.2, not rooted, and never did any modifications at all. Please, can anyone help me? thanks a lot. here i put a screenshot to show you what I mean.
I really do need answer to fix this. once again thanks a bunch!

Hi, I'm facing the same problem since this afternoon too! My soft keys go missing whenever I use the keyboard on my Xperia ZL. Did you manage to find a solution to the problem? I've tried restarting my device too but it doesn't help and I really don't want to factory reset my phone D:
I remember this was a common problem when lollipop was released. Not only limited to stock sony roms. But any lollipop rom.. anyway it was so long ago I first flashed a lollipop rom so I cant quite remember exacly
Hi, I've contacted Sony Xperia and they've provided me with a possible solution:
"In regards to your query, we can advise you to try clear data and cache of the app by going Settings > Apps > All apps > Xperia Keyboard > Force stop > Ok > Clear cache > Clear data and restart the phone and test again. If problem persists, we would suggest that you try to perform a repair of the software using PC Companion. If the issue is related to a problem with your software this will be repaired and your handset will work as intended. "
I've tried it and my keyboard is working fine so far. Hope that it'll help you too
I've tried to clear data and cache and restart, but it was fine for only a few hours and it was gone again I will try to repair software via PC now, i was out of my country last week so didnt have a chance to do it. thanks a lot! i'll let you know if whether the software repair works or not.

HI =)
I´ve had my Xperia Z5C for a year, and now a couple of days after latest update the fingerprint option is suddenly gone. I´ve tried to talk to Sony support with zero result, they had me trying to check settings, to try in Safety mode(option gone there too), to clear cace in the app setting of it, and to repair in Sony Bridge for Mac, but nothing has worked. I can find Fingerprint in Settings and Apps, but I cant find it in the settings menu for activating it. Also when I configured the phone after Repair there where a option to set up Unlook-screen and the fingerprint where not mentioned there either. Its just all of the sudden gone. I see that US dont have the option, but I live in Norway so thats not the issue, plus I have had it from day 1 and up until now a year later.
Any suggestions ?

So it doesnt give info that fingerprint hardware is missing in lockscreen if you try unlock phone with fingerprint.
Maybe your option is to flash latest fw to phone with flashtool
Hm... Yeah no, my phone does not give me fingerprint option at all anymore. One day last week when I was about to unlock the screen all I had to do was to swipe(the power button does nothing at all of I try to fingerprint), and when I went to Settings to check it out there wherent any option for Fingerprint anymore... The same result when I had the phone on Safety mode to test there to. No Fingerprint option anywhere. But, when I go to Settings-Apps I can find Fingerprint there. But the option to use it is all gone on my phone now.

ok this is super weird like you've got "EU model" before and not anymore after OTA update?
if this important to you i would try re-flash EU model lastest ROM, maybe with flashtool ithink you dont need root\unlocked BT for flashing stock roms

Yeah, I dont understand what happend. Had my phone for 1year(and its norwegian) and with fingerprint and then all of the sudden the other day when I was going to unlock the screen all I had to do was to swipe. No fingerprint, no code no nothing. Now I cant find the Fingerprint option in my phone anymore. (I only find the application in Settings - Apps - Fingerprint) but no sign of it anywhere else or geting it to work.
I've checked for it in Safety mode, I have tryed Repair in Sony bridge, and I have tryed Factory reset. But still same problem.
My phone is not locked to a carrier, and I dont know about all this flash, roots ect you guys/girls talk about in here, haha. Think I have to take it to the shop... Hate sending away my phone tough

Did you managed to get it back to work?
Sent it back to the shop, they fixed that.
I know this thread has been posted a lot but there is no device admin stopping it, I am unable to turn it on in the dev settings. It also wont let me temporarily allow it when trying to install say fortnite from epic launcher. Any help would be great. Do I need to unlock the bootloader & root to fix this or?
I just learned last night actually how to fix this! All you need to do is just factory reset your phone and then I was finally able to flip that switch! Aha

Factory reset rarely makes a difference, the problem usually seems to be the internet connection.

Yeah just wanted to add as well for anyone who may stumble upon this thread that no factory reset was necessary in my experience. It was a matter of having the phone active and connected for several days with the occasional reboot before checking to see if the option had become available.
Umm... I would like to interject that in my experience so far, a factory reset is the only thing that will fix this issue. I unlock people's phones for them from Google frp lock and have seen this happen three or four times. I'm not sure exactly but I think that after bypassing an frp lock there is still some sort of restriction in place until there is a secondary factory format performed with the device in an frp unlocked state. The only thing I know of that being connected with service is the resolution to, is to enable oem options because some devices require owning the device for a specific period of time before the option isn't greyed out. in which case you just gotta mess with the date and time settings and at some point disable and re enable the data. There are posts about that .. it's a little off topic here though... but yeah if there is an alternative I would love to know about it. Otherwise the only fix I have found is to factory format without a previous frp lock.
Totally agree with the post above, I had struggled with a Moto G30 after a FRP and another factory reset this time with a new google account worked.
I can also confirm that a factory reset fixes this. After recovering from FRP, I had the grayed out Allow unknown apps. I didn't want to factory reset again, but I didn't do it after getting past FRP. I ended up doing a factory reset from inside the recovery, and now it works the way it is supposed to.
