Yea, I've noticed it's more frequent with this kernel. Basically if the device is sleeping, you'll have to touch the screen to wake it up. Didn't know the kbd slide trick, thanks!

Haven't spoke with WisTilt2 in a couple of days, but I believe this is his next fix. Hopefully I'll get that new kernel today, no promises tho

I've waited several minutes after using GPS and not disabling it in system settings and had yet to see the LED go green while powered down.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) this is a reported bug, I have it open on the bug tracker. Definitely an odd one, and not very frequently reported - thanks for pointing this out, because if your phone doesn't sleep - your battery will die MUCH quicker!

Phone battery life has been astounding today so far now that I have turned off the GPS. The green LED sleep has been consistent as well. Maybe I can find an app that will place an easy GPS on/off toggle on the home screen? Seems like an ok thing to do for the meantime. The screen has woken up every time so far, so if the build from 1/2/2011 has the new display sleep code that acl has been hoping to add to the nand build it is working very well so far.

I use the Power Panel widget that is already available. Has a GPS on/off toggle.

This is working very well for me. I've only noticed a couple of issues:

1. sometimes when I'm typing with the keyboard it skips a few letters here and there, seems to happen if i'm trying to type just as the backlight is turning off.

2. the brightness keeps dimming on its own, over and over... i go in and play with the brightness settings to restore it to full brightness, and within minutes the screen is not at full brightness even though the display settings say that it is.

Hrm... Not sure what can be done about #1, I'll mention it. #2 has been mentioned before, I'll definitely bring it to WisTilt2's attention. Curious, if you set it to auto does it work correctly?

about #2, it probably does because it seems like it always wants to be the brightness level that you get when you have it set to auto... but i prefer full brightness so that's what i have mine set as.

I've tried using full brightness and also auto and it still dims, although when you go in to check the settings, the settings are the same, still on full bright even though it's dim.

Hrm, seems userland settings and the kernel aren't playing nice. I hope to talk to WisTilt2 today, haven't seen him in a couple of days...

The latest one is working well for me except when I try to use wifi. It crashes after it has been turned on for a little bit.

I can't recreate this bug. I set my brightness all the way up, and it stays. I'll go thru a few sleep/wake cycles to see if it sticks...
