My wife recently upgraded to the new HD 10 after her HDX 8.9 began refusing to wake when the cover was opened or when you press the power button. I thought that it may have been due to a recent OTA update as there are a number of people complaining of similar issues with the new HD 8 (including myself). I was able to root, unlock the BL, and flash a new ROM onto the Apollo unit (thanks to all of the info here), but I am still having issues with it refusing to wake up.
A few minutes after the screen has timed out, you will have to hold the power button to force a reboot in order to get the screen to come back on. I have attached a portion of my log after I turned on Airplane Mode to cut down on some of the chatter. Thoughts??

Didn't look at log. Which ROM is currently on the device? I assume no Xposed Framework or battery saving apps.
AospExtended with Magisk and no Xposed or other battery apps.
Also, just to be clear, these problems were present on the stock fw and still exist after flashing ROM

Curious - if you boot into TWRP and leave the device untouched the screen should timeout after 60 sec or whatever value is indicated under settings. This is not a true 'sleep' mode but does quite most idle activity. Do you experience a 'wake' freeze under those conditions? How about Android "safe mode"?
My guess is the behavior will NOT occur under TWRP; will under Safe Mode. Let's see if that plays out.
Note: to boot into "safe mode" long press the power button while AEX is unlocked then long press the "power off"; you'll be prompted from there.
Your assumption is correct. It does NOT occur under TWRP, but DOES under Safe Mode.

OK, I've seen the videos of the Thunderbolt with fast boot, booting up in like 10 seconds. I have fast boot enabled but it still takes over a minute to boot. Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this?
I don't know if this was coincidence but I noticed that on mine after I checked fast boot it was still slow to boot. Tried it a second time and it loaded in about 12 sec. The first time might have been getting it setup in cache or something, don't quote me on that though.
Same. Fast boot seemed like a normal reboot to me.

I've tried everything, removed all apps and rebooted several times - still slow booting. I wiped the device and then rebooted several times and still all slow boot. I've posted this on various forums and so far I've seen a few people that fast boot is not working. As of yet no one has came across a fix that I've seen.
Ate you using a custom launcher?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
This might sound dumb but just checking.
Fast boot only works when you power down using power off form the power menu.
If you choose reboot it does not do anything with fastboot.
Are you choosing reboot or shutdown then pressing the power button?

I'm holding in the power button and choosing "Power off/Shut phone down" option.
Just to make sure I'm not just over looking the obvious. All I should have to do is
1. Go into Settings -> Power and check Fast Boot
2. Hold in power button and choose shut down
a. Phone turns off
3. Hold power button in to "fast boot"
Is that correct? Or is their a hidden step? lol I'm starting to get paranoid that I'm just blatantly overlooking a setting.

That sounds write. When you boot back up and go into setting is the fast boot option still checked?
Yes it's still checked. If it were just my phone I would say it's defective, but the fact that my friend got his same time I got mine and it's doing the same thing really makes me want to think I'm just missing something.
Does it show you the very first htc screen?

It does show the "HTC" screen. Here is a video of it booting up that I took earlier today, in case it helps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kDOgM0g1vo
Thanks for the video its helpful.
On my that screen does not show when i use fast boot.
And when i use fast boot i dont need to hold the power button that long.
So for some reason your phone it not doing the fast boot.
Can you check the difference in time it takes to turn off with the option on and off?
I believe it turns off faster when fast boot is on.
But i am really out of ideas. very odd.
Another dumb question. Is the fast boot option also checked under settings>applications?
With option unchecked:
Turn off time: 15.8 seconds
Boot time: 59.4 seconds to lock screen
With option checked:
Turn off time: 24.1 seconds
Boot time: 58.8 seconds to lock screen
I had my friend check his wife's phone and fast boot is doing the same on it. I'm really inclined to say I'm missing something, but I just don't see it. I'm not new to android, I've had an android device since the Moto Droid and have rooted them, restored them, backed them up, put custom roms on them, etc... I'm really starting to feel stupid though

It is checked in both places.
yupp mines doing it too, i have it checked in and it loads as if its not clicked, which is fine since fastboot is only putting the only in hibernation mode and not really restarting it, just another way to make it look as if it has a fast boot, which it doesnt

Yeah, same here. On a side note, I can't wait to get some custom roms so I can get rid of that annoying thunderbolt boot screen.

Hi guys
I have problem with my g tablet screen, 80% of time when screen goes off (regardless is it timeout of screen or by shot press on power button) it won't came back untill I restart device.
For example I am listening radio and screen timeout takes place, I am still getting sound but no meter what - screen is not coming back unless I press and hold power button and device restarts. I am running calkulin 1.1 rom.
Anyone......?
Known issue with most ROMs. Search for SOD.

I, too, would've said that this was a SOD problem, but, then you said this:

What happens if you play music using the standard Android music app and the screen times out while playing? Can you switch the screen on?
Suggestions:
On the current ROM, try a different kernel.
On the current ROM, if you install Jack Palevich's Android Terminal Emulator, you can "Take Wakelock" and then minimize the app to keep the tablet from going into suspend. Or, install one of the many apps from market designed to do the same thing.
On the custom GB ROMs, you can wake the device up by pressing the volume rocker after you enable Settings > VEGAn-TAB/CyanogenMod settings > Input > Volume rocker wake. Install a GB ROM.
Thanks. I read it somewhere that could be hardware issue and I unrooted device so I could maybe contact Viewsonic if 6 months is not too late. I will root it again and try this tonight.
I got permission denied for terminal emulator "Take Wakelock", tried with su not working either
I am running Calkulin 1.1 and not having BG options for sound
Most of other ROM's I tried for this dumb device are not working for me

That's a very odd error. Uninstall, then reinstall the terminal emulator app and update to the latest version of the Superuser app.
It might be simpler to just install one of the wake lock holding apps from market, though.

Thanks for any reply's in here. I sent tablet to Europe as gift (after applying those options, item was fine for 3-4 days).
My 32Gig TF201 is running AndroWook 2.3. I've spent quite a long time on stock (wth root when that was possible) and then tried AndroWook and Pac. One thing I've noticed all through the various ROM versions that I'd love to resolve (but could understand if it ain't) is that its behaviour when opening it when connected to the keyboard dock. Sometimes after a small and acceptable delay the screen comes on, at other times nothing happens until the power button is pressed and even then sometimes a rather long (a couple of second lag) occurs. Every so often while holding the power buttong with no effect the screen will come on with the power menu displayed.
Is there any way to make it come on more reliably, that the screen comes on after a consistent and short period of time when the lid opens and the power button is pressed?

Can you grab the kernel installer from post 2 of the thread and install hunds with data2sd from that. It has a newer kernel in it that should fix that for you.

It seems to have sorted the issue out. Thanks!
There's very little written up about QuickBoot so I thought I'd pull together what I've found...
What is QuickBoot?
In essence, QuickBoot makes "Power off" behave more like "Hibernate" or "Sleep" mode in other operating systems, with the device powering down or powering up in about 1 second - watch it in action on the OnePlus
Why might I want it?
If you're running out of juice and need to save some for later with QuickBoot enabled you can shut down in a second, then boot and start using the device within seconds when you need it, without burning through all the juice that a full power down + power up cycle would have taken (plus you save all that time too).
However, there is some battery usage in QuickBoot "Power off" state (though I haven't yet tested the power usage thoroughly myself, I've seen someone report a 30% battery drain over 10hrs) so whether QuickBoot is right for you depends on how much power is left, how long you're going to keep the device off, and how quickly you need to use it when you power it on. Fortunately with QuickBoot enabled you can still force a full power down whenever you want to by pressing & holding the "Power off" menu item until a dialogue box appears then press "OK".
How do I get it & switch it on?
You'll need to be running a ROM based on CM11 M5 or better. QuickBoot isn't available for all devices yet (and may never be) so YMMV.
To see whether your CM ROM supports it and switch it on, follow these instructions intended for OnePlus owners. If QuickBoot isn't there or it's disabled then you can't switch it on, sorry. Perhaps a future release of the ROM you're using will make the feature available.
Any questions or feedback?
Ask away, report how you get on (I'm particularly interested to know how quickly the battery goes down while in QuickBoot "powered down" mode on different devices - e.g. does yours go down 30% in 10h?)
Please remember to give me a little "Thanks!" if you've found this post helpful!
I notice that the double click of the power button still opens the camera in nougat and now there doesn't seem to be a way to switch it off. I've accidentally triggered this twice, hit home to close camera, then pressed the power button to switch off. Soon after on both occasions the phone has partially rebooted in my pocket, sticking on the Wiley fox boot logo.
Anybody else confirm this behaviour? Not something you do everyday I guess......
Hi Ratbags, I tried it for you... I never noticed that tapping the power button twice starts the camera, but indeed it does; however my phone didn't reboot (so it also didn't get stuck).
Hallo ratbags, i can confirm this behaviour in my Swift 2 Plus with Nougat Android. Noticed that randoms reboots some while ago and with your hint about power double click i am able to reproduce it.
To switch it off
Go to parameters
Use the search option and search gestures
Click on Gestures and then you'll find the option you are looking for

Thanks for that. I believe Wiley fox are bringing out an update to fix this issue. Strange you can only get to that setting by searching or is it hidden away somewhere deep in a settings submenu?

I didn't find it anywhere else so I think it's hidden
There's others hidden menu (and some are not even working at all - like battery percentage). I think that it's the trace of some modifications of parameters that weren't done correctly, or those parameters were disabled because the option didn't work well.
With latest update Build no. TOS118C the Gestures are available in Options Menu. The "not quite random reboot" seems to befixed too. Tested it several times and got no reboot since 3 hours.
Was just scanning the forum for any reports of random reboots as I've also been having reboots and it hanging on the white WileyFox logo screen.
Have noticed it more since the more recent official updates and have even gone so far as a full factory reset, however, I've had the issue reoccur several times since then (reset done earlier in week) so will be interesting to see if disabling that camera gesture will help
Beyond that I'm thinking possibly a corrupt or "worn" SD Card as I have a MicroSD card, used to extend the internal storage, that I think I used for a year or so in my previously Swift so possibly suffering some mild wear....
