Screen randomly turns on?

For some reason, my Treo Pro will just be sitting there, on the charger or off the charger, and just turn on. Is there any reason for this or to disable it? It gets annoying and stays on and kills the battery life.

I've seen the same thing. Do you have anything runnin in the background? I think it may happen when it polls e-mail or another program accesses the data connection.

Is your Today time out on? I think that will turn the screen on. It may be keeping it on. Just a guess.

To change or disable the Today Timeout feature, tap Start > Settings > Today icon > Items tab. Remove the checkbox next to "Today timeout" to disable the feature.

it was set to 4 hrs, but I know it happens more frequently than that. I unchecked it but honestly I think wildrage's idea made more sense because i do have activesync always on in the background.

mine has done that a few times, a soft reset stops it from happening, not sure what causes i though.
