TP2 will not go into sleep mode with FRX07 kills battery, any advice?

This build on my TP2 works awesome, better than WM ROMS in my opinion. I've tried other builds which worked really well also but lack things like the camera....

The only complaint is that the battery dies really fast to the point that this is not reliable/usable as a phone. I think it's because this build will not go into sleep mode (light always orange, never green light) whereas other build have gone into sleep mode and the battery was fine.

Anybody else experiancing this or have a fix for it?

It's been this way since I installed FRX07 without any apps added to it.

I did search but can not find anything. Thanks!

GPS enabled in Settings -> Location & Security?

Only other thing that causes sleep issues is BT enabled in WinMo before booting HaRET, and an app not releasing the wakelock properly.

Have you ever seen a green LED?

The GPS is not enabled.

wow, I turned the BT off before booting android and it goes right into sleep mode when I push the power button.... Amazing, Thanks sooo much!

np, gotta trace the reason for that down... very annoying, as most users don't think about it (it's also a new bug, so it's not very well-published if that makes sense.)

Apologies for hijacking a thread, but I believe it is relevant.

I'm having the same problem with the device never entering the sleep mode (green led), and thus the battery draining quickly. I have BT disabled in WinMo & disabled all location services (GPS & Network) in XDAndroid. I have never seen a green LED in XDAndroid, though. It is always orange. Is there anything else I can check to allow the device to enter sleep mode?

Be sure to boot WinMo with BT off too and never enable it in WinMo. Turning it off in WinMo before starting XDAndroid is not enough.

Yea, the only other thing would be a rouge app, as mentioned above...

auburnham, make sure you're on the newest stuff and that's all I can recommend. My phone always sleeps just fine. To test it out, rename your data.img to data.img.bak. Then boot, and wait...wait...wait... and eventually you should see the LED go solid green.

Thanks for everyone's feedback. I went through all running processes one-by-one, killing, then trying to sleep. The phone finally slept after killing "Media Storage". This may be related to another issue: No music is showing up in the Music app, though Media Scanner is running. There are no ".nomedia" files in any of my folders.
Now that the phone sleeps, I'll start investigating the music files. Thanks again for everyone's help.

It's a "new bug" only because we never had BT initialized in any previous xdandroid build. Probably we could patch the startup to skip the firmware load, since winmo already does it, but then we'd need two separate versions, one for NAND...

So far I am "unimpressed" with the android operating system. Annoying sluggish (partly my phone) and extremely DUMB in the way it does a lot of things.

the apps now. those are wonderful. some of the best designed apps I have ever seen. why exactly can't WM apps look like this? is there a technical reason?

I do not like the android OS (very sloppy OS) but love the apps so I can live with it.

so far its otherwise working fine. sadly can't get squareup to work (mic line??) and netflix works but won't PLAY anything (it tries)

I can not get mine to "sleep" and I am guessing its the GPS. problem is I USE the gps functionality in a lot of the apps I use. in WM I would create a cookie toggle button to the the GPS "on and off" at will. is there a widget that will let me do this?

ie tap it turn gps put phone to sleep tap it to turn it back on when I wake it up?
