I don't know exactly what is going on, but this is what I have observed so far with about a weeks worth of use. first off I don't know if this is causing it or not, but I have noticed my battery draining very fast (about 6 hours with minimal usage). I think what is happening is that the screen is turning off, but the device stays "on". I am going to disable s2u2 and/or gyrator and see if i get improved battery life. As it is right now it is just way too short, and as much as I love this set up I can't sacrifice battery life.

The reason I think this is happening is because i have observed (as you noted) that when the device locks by the screen blanking (like when placing face down), pressing the hardware keys will only light them up, but the screen will remain blanked. If the device is locked with the power button, then the hardware keys will turn the device back on like normal.

Also, if locking by turning off screen (ie placing face down), then applications like music and other programs that use the speaker will continue to run like normal, but if the top power button is pressed then those applications stop.

i did try going a day by only locking with the top power button, but I'm not sure it saved much battery (it looked a little bit better, but not sure). i think the hardware buttons kept getting pushed, though, and then the screen would eventually time out, but again, perhaps the device didn't turn off.

So it seems like this setup might only be turning off the screen and not the device, causing excessive battery drain (or maybe something else might be causing it, or maybe the battery life really is this terrible).
