I just started experiencing that my phone wont go into sleep mode after pressing the power button. I can hold it down and pop up menu to turn off shows, and bring it out of sleep after the 15 sec delay i have set up but thats it any ideas?
The only issue I have is when the phone goes to sleep wifi turns off and the captivate starts charging data to my plan. Does this happen to anyone else and if so is there a known cure?
I had my phone not go to sleep at set timeout one time. It may have been due to an app i installed. I rebooted and no problem since.
As for using data when asleep - Wifi turns off when the phone goes to sleep mode - this is the way it behaves, same as iPhone and other android phones. You have some app connecting in the background, maybe email sync?
You can keep the wifi on during sleep by going into the Settings-> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings. Press the menu button in Wi-Fi settings press on "Advanced".
In there is an option called Wi-Fi sleep policy. Switch that to Never and you shouldn't have to worry about the wifi turning off when in sleep mode.

Yea It was an app I installed, I did a reinstall from a back up and it works now.
Captivate Shutting Down Instead of Sleeping
Mine is doing this too, as are a few others, from the look of some posts on here. Mine started after a day and a half and two full charges. Suddenly I would go to wake it up and it will have turned off.
I'm thinking I might take it back to the store to exchange it, as not everyone is experiencing this problem. Sucky. I did notice that the battery, after you take the door off, is a little wiggly on the side opposite the connectors. I wedged some thin paper in the between the battery and the battery slot and it still did it. Got to be a problem with the individual phone.
Total PITA!!
I had problems with mine shutting off while in sleep mode and I uninstalled SetCpu and my task killer and it stopped doing it....

I have noticed that turning off the screen (either via an app or by a brief press of the power button) also kills any Wifi connections that are active. Is there any way around this? Thanks.
Pressing the power button put the device to sleep/standby/suspend mode. Its not just Wifi, even the Bluetooth, GPS and everything but the phone part goes 'off' to save power. But why do you need WiFi to be active when in StandBy mode?
Regards,
Carty..
are you sure that you are toggling the screen and not turning off the device compleatly?
all pda's i've had turn off when i press the powerbutton
but there are programs which toggle the screen and dont stop my
music from playing

Because I have VoIP set up and if the phone goes in to standby, it will still accept incoming normal calls, but not VoIP calls.

It's not powering the device off completely, a longer push of the power button is needed for that.
But, I had a setting in "Power" enabled, which would "Turn off the device" if it wasn't used for a period of time, and this was also killing Wifi when it was triggered.
Audio manager for ppc has resolved this problem. As far as i know its the only one that doesn't stop even if you press the power button. it keeps playing in background. Maybe someone can understand how they did it and post it. I also want my wifi no to be turned off when i press the power button since it doesn't reconnect to my access point. i have to do it manually
Regards
theres a way to turn off the screen, alot of the roms here have it in the shortcut folder.... and it doesnt kill stop anything like wifi bluetooth or WMP....
Since you know it why don't you mention it

I myself won't be leaving Wifi turned on now. I did some tests re battery life and found battery drain was just too severe if Wifi was left on permanently.

I tried this, and in the ROM i'm using it did kill Wifi as well. Oh well
yeah i feel you . the thing is, sometimes i download some mp3's over my WIZARD , and even if i don't the putton of the powering off, after a mintue ( depending on my power setting ) the device is switched off and WIFI is killed !
is there any cab to keep WIFI alive even tho the power button is get pressed ?
Hi, I've seen this problem in other places, but no answer to it yet:
I've always used my phone as my alarm, but I get an unexpected sleep-in this morning when the alarm didn't go off! I've just tested it, and putting the phone to "sleep" by pressing the power button seems to prevent the alarm from going off.
If I don't press the power button (which I started doing as it locks the keypad really easily), the screen never goes off. I guess that's just a setting.
Will try again for tomorrow morning, without putting sleep on. But is this a bug or a "feature", anyone know?

Nope. Mine is working perfectly even in "Sleep Mode".

mine works fine too.
as for the fact that the screen never goes off, that can be adjusted if you go to settings/ power and/or settings/ system/ backlight/.
What software do you have installed?
I used to use PocketZenPhone, however it was mucking up the alarms.
Clean your notification queue is the other thing. Pocket Mechanic is good for this.
Well it woke me up this morning - but it still doesn't work if I lock the keys by single-pressing the power button. It does work with the red end-call key to lock the phone after a long key press. Less usable, but some mornings I just have to wake up!

I have no specific configuration. I set my alarm for the 5 working days with sound and vibration, press the power button, and no problems at all.
Ensure that you set the right time, example: morning instead of afternoon.
Play a bit to become familiar with it.
Searched around for a few hours and I haven't been able to find a solution, so I'm turning to XDA as always.
I was using my phone earlier today, and like always, tried to "sleep" the phone by tapping the power button at the top of my phone. My screen stayed lit and for whatever reason it wouldn't sleep, so I'm trying to figure it out.
I can't deduce if it is a hardware issue or something weird with the software or ROM that I am using. I've never had this issue before, and I'm not sure how to diagnose/fix the issue.
Sliding the keyboard awakes the phone, and I am able to use the touchscreen and keyboard with full functionality, but I am not able to turn off/sleep the phone with the power button. Any and all possible help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much.
does the power button work?
does the phone drift off the sleep when you set it to sleep after 1 min of inactivity?
take out your battery put it in see if u can turn the phone on with the button if u cant its broken.
As the title suggests, sometimes when my tf700 has had a long period of being idle if I go to use it and press the power button nothing will happen. I can still hear it functioning though cause I've accidentally taken screen shots when trying to reboot it when this happens, the screen is just black and I have to reset it.
Any suggestions?

Try switching WiFi sleep off and see if it helps.
Wifi sleep off?
I have that happen to me more than a few times. I just end up hitting power button and just tapping the corner. It works sometimes. but it's not always faster than just rebooting. Although, if you're going to reboot, just hold the power button till device shuts off.
What I think is happening is not that it's not waking, the display is just not turning on. I noticed this by plugging in the charger, which always turns on the display and device.
Yeah, the display isn't coming back up. I've noticed that too because I can still hear events occur (ie: unplugging the charger).
Another user on here tipped me off that it could be that it's in power save mode and the dimmer is COMPLETELY down, if you bump the brightness dimmer up just a hair, even 1 notch, it'll stop it from doing it, or at least it's stopped it so far for me since I changed it.
Why start two threads on the same issue?
Yesterday the phone did not wake me up, holding the power button it directly booted up again, just like it was turned off.
The battery was charged at 55% and there was no update in recent days, so I doubt its a software issue.
The same happened today as well... This is starting to bother me.
Is there any way to find out why it shut down ?
Don't know how to help you with finding out what causes the shut down but I'd check the "planned shut down/turn on" option in battery settings. Even if that's not it you can try to use it to force the phone on before your alarm goes off.
