I am having an issue where the phone falls asleep and the screen goes dark and I am not able to wake it up with the power button. Does anyone else have this issue?

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....
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?
So I had something interesting happen this morning. I was listening to a podcast app through Bluetooth. I wanted to pause, so I flipped open my case, the screen turned on, and when I pressed the home button (oops I meant to just rest my finger on it. Still getting used to that) my phone...turned off.
Despite the title, I would say it didn't power off. It was like pulling the battery. Screen just turned off and I couldn't get it back on. Pressing and holding the power button didn't do anything. I was unable to do anything until I plugged my phone in. Then the battery charging indicator came on the screen. It was at 93%. I unplugged, and then when I held the power button it booted right up.
I have no idea why it did this. I doubt it was an app issue, since I couldn't get the phone to power up. Anyone else had something like this happen? Other than this I've had zero issues with the phone. I've left it at stock, unrooted.

Did the same problem occurred again?
Nope. Just tried to repeat it, and no issue
Today I was walking with my z3 on my back pocket, I fell and hit on my phone. Now after that, it's not vibrating anymore; and whenever I turn on the flash, I can't turn it off, only if I turn the phone off. How can I fix that?
It usually happens when I haven't used the phone for an hour or two and I usually have to hold the power button for about 15 seconds for it to turn back on.
Does anyone else have this issue? I see a 'reboot' thread but in my case it turns off and doesn't turn back on. Do you guys think this is a hardware issue?
Everything is stock.
