Tilt NOT going to sleep

Has anyone noticed on either the Tilt or Kaiser that sometimes the device will not enter sleep mode?
It seems like when my Tilt running the stock AT&T Rom is on AC power, it will not enter sleep mode even though I have it set to sleep after 5 minutes on AC power. This is not while connected via USB to a PC running ActiveSync as that WILL keep the device alive, I'm talking about connected to the power brick.
After 5 minutes the screen will dim but not sleep. Running on battery power the timeout will usually happen. If it doesn't sleep the display just dims like it did above.
Settings for power are set to shut off after 5 minutes.
Any ideas?

I've noticed that mine does the same thing, just doesn't turn off when plugged into AC. I'm not aware of any "fix" for it persay, I just dismissed it as a minor bug of the OS. I would be curious if if anyone does have a solution to this, but it's not that big a deal IMO.

I noticed it also, but don't care. However, if it happens while on battery, try changing the time to something else and then back. My battery was draining QUICK and finally I realized that it wasn't turning off. Doing the above fixed it.

Thanks for the replies. Not that I feel better about it but at least others have the same issue. It's not a big deal if plugged, just wondering why.

I just got into the habit of manually hitting the power button and putting it to sleep before holstering it and right after pluging it in.
Same here, it would go to sleep on DC power but would stay awake on AC power.

Dont worry.
I'm sure it goes into sleep when you press the power button.

Ahhh, is that what that button is for?!

Cm7 charging screen timeout & charging

Where is the setting to make the nooks screen time out, and turn off while charging? Secondly does anybody have any idea why my tablet has been charging so slowly lately?

i think screen stay on while charging because "charging" is one of the possible SOD cause. That's why there is no options (and it's charging slowly because the screen is on..)

Ok thanks, I thought the sod problem was fixed.

Just press the lock button after you plug it in.

I normally do turn off the screen when I plug it in, but until just this morning the nook would die in my book bag due, to it waking up when the nook button was hit in my book bag. Thanks to somebodies help I rectified that problem this morning, but long story short I would charge it when I would go to bed, and it would be too dead to turn on when I plugged it on, so by the time it was ready to have the screen turned off, I would be asleep. Sorry for the long post.

Before I went to bed last night (11:40-ish), my nc was at 48% charge. This morning I woke up (7:30) and my nook was dead. About an hour later after charging it for a bit, I noticed my screen somehow turned back on and I hadn't even touched it. It seems the screen timeout is broken, or the option screen always on when plugged in is broken, because I double checked to make sure it was off. Btw I'm on Nightly 177
May just be my nc though.

It is not broken, nor is it your nook... this is common just like stock B&N ROM works.
If it is dead when you connect charger... when it gets around 15% it turns on... if it is not dead when you connect charger... it does not go into sleep... you have to manually turn off screen by short pressing power button.

Its availabe under Settings->Applications->Developement->Stay awake
but this never works for me here(unselect above option), my screen will never turn off automatically on CM7 while charging.

It does seem like the nook is charging much slower on CM7, even when the screen is off, I remember it charged fairly quickly on stock, but on CM7 it seems like it takes hours, I have left it charging over night, and it has not charged all the way before. I could be wrong though.

I have the same problem too. Is there a way to resolve it? The reason I'm asking is before I turn my device off and go to bed while leaving it to charge and when I wake up, the device is somehow turned on (I have come to realise that the NC turns on by itself at random while charging) and the screen never goes to sleep which causes my NC not to be recharged even after a whole night.

To actually turn the NC off when charging you have to attach charger... THEN hold the power button in until you get the power menu... select Power Off

Of course I did that. What I'm saying is that my NC still randomly boots up. Sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after a few hours.

Mine does that too (turning on while charging from powered off). It is telling you that it is now charged enough to operate. My solution was to not let it run down so far before you charge (below 15%). And don't turn it completely off. Plug it in and just turn the screen off. Then it charges the whole night without turning the screen back on.

I wonder if it would be possible to have the nook color shut back down if it loads into the os or recovery from a charger activation.

With mine as Long as the battery isn't dead when I plug it in, If I turn it off while its plugged in and not move it at all it stays off, but if I move it in any way it turns back on. Don't know why but movement fires it back up when plugged in.

Seems to be a bad connection....same thing happens wirh my nook also...I plug the cable in, put the nook on one of my floor shelves, turn it off, and leave it to charge overnight....then again ANY kind of movement while the cablle is plugged in to charge OR use usb storage makes it disconnect....maybe a bad cable, unfortunately I haven't found them in stores anywhere lately..

Nook Color cyanogen with Phiremod7.. turning self off

My rooted NC with Cyan and Phiremod7 (very stable!!) has just started having a problem today. Left alone, it has turned off by itself. Doesn't turn off when I'm using it. Don't really know how long it is taking to do that, but around 2 - 5 hours probably. Actually takes 5 - 8 seconds of holding power button in to turn back on. Usually just sleeps and a tap of the power button wakes up the screen. That function still works, tho. But what could be causing it to turn off? Could a recovery using Rom Manager be the answer? Rather fix the problem than use recovery

+1 I am having the same problems too

It worked fine through the night but shut off again this morning. Had been browsing xda, pushed the power button to turn screen off, left it for a while, then later tried to turn screen back on by touching power button. Didn't work. As if it was turned off. Had to hold button in for a count to 10 seconds before it booted back up.

Just uninstalled several apps that I installed recently (latest) and turned it off. Turned it back on, and it only took the usual 5 seconds holding the power button to turn on.
Keep you posted as to what it does today

the power button issue is normal...it takes about that long for anyone on any CM version on a Nook Color....as for the powering off after it's sitting there for a while...i do not know what the issue there is, I am running Phiremod 7 as well and i have not had any problems with it since i flashed it which was about 1-2 months ago

Isn't this the sleep of death?
I've been having it pretty routinely now lately with several different rooms including the ics ones.
Starting to wonder if it isn't hw related.

Yes, that definitely sounds like it. The device isn't off, it's just frozen in sleep mode or while trying to wake up and it can't turn the screen back on. Holding the power button is first forcing a hard power-off and then turning the Nook back on

Is hard power off the only solution? It's happened another time since my last posting.

I'm having this same problem. I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on my Nook Color and it either goes dead or the screen doesn't turn on if I leave it idle anywhere from 1-3 hours. It seems to happen randomly and without warning. It is very frustrating. I even reflashed to a different CM7 nightly build and it still happens. Is there any help for this problem?

I was having the same issue (SOD like symptoms every day or other day). I re-calibrated my battery and haven't had the issue since. Just charge up to 100% and run down to the warning by keeping a video playing and the brightness at 100%. Run it down past the warnings until it shuts off and recharge back to 100%.

Definitely sounds like Sleep of Death (SOD). It happens when you leave wifi on all the time and it goes into deep sleep. Wifi and deep sleep get tangled up and it locks up. It is on but you cannot turn the screen back on. Only solution to get it going again is to turn it fully off and back on. The solution is to apply a patched wifi kernel module to your system. You can get it several places including here:

I had to reboot mine in to flash mode in order for mine to come back up. I had to hold the down volume (or up cannot remember right now) + power for a minute nearly. Then it rebooted correctly into normal mode.

So I ended up calling AT&T and they went ahead and shipped me a new MAHD.
I took the dead phone to work and tried charging with my work charger, and now it works! When it finally turned on, the battery level was at 3%. So lesson learned: Do not let your battery drain to 1%!

I am having the same problem. I can get the boot screen up if i hold the buttons in at a certain time while the phone is plugged in and attempting to turn on. however, the phone cuts out no matter what and repeats the cycle even with the boot screen up. during the few seconds i can get the boot screen up, i'm unable to select an option, only scroll up or down and highlight them. then the phone cuts out and 20 secs. later attempts to turn on again but never gets past the motorola icon. Any suggestions? I originally thought it was the battery so i ordered one and installed it correctly and charged it, but still the same thing is happening. When plugged into a pc, charge light comes on but phone won't attempt to turn on....?????????

Our phone doesn't receive power from the cable until it's fully booted. Factory cables are a good work around.

I have the same problem.
I think it's impossible to fix.
I tested with original charger.
I have also tried every possible button combinations.
and does not start
Has anyone been able to fix it?

Shuts Down Ramdomly

My phone is absolutely stock. After using it sometime the phone would switch off randomly. But you could turn it on. Today the phone turned off like usual and wouldn't turn back on.
It vibrates 3 times randomly and when I press the power button but there is nothing on the scree. Any advise?

i guess there is something wrong with battery?

I don't think it is the problem with the battery. Because when I was able to turn on the phone the battery was fully charged. But it keeps turning off by itself.
