I have a rooted thunderbolt (thanks for all who made that possible). in the last couple of days I have noticed that the screen does not timeout. I don't know if it is a rouge app, or some other problem. I have done some searching and it appears that I am not the only one with this problem, but I have not seen a solution to the problem yet.
After a reboot it does appear to work correctly for a time though. If it is an app how would I find out which one is doing it? As a side question. If I do a hard reboot will I lose root?

Go to Spare Parts > Battery History and select "Partial Wake Usage" from the first dropdown. Should tell you what the culprit is.

i've noticed the same thing intermittently over the last few days, let me know if you figure out how to fix it
Yeah, I get this too.
Do you guys run Titanium? My screen wouldn't turn off this morning, and now that I'm paying more attention, I noticed Titanium ran an auto-backup last night on the charger. That might just be a coincidence, but something to look out for.

Well the spare parts thing did not work...
Any other ideas?
The only time I had this happen was when I bumped the volume buttons as I was setting the phone down. Somehow the volume indicator on the screen got stuck or something and the screen never shut off. I just started being more careful not to bump the volume, or actually pressing the power button to shut the screen off. Idk if this is your issue or not, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Change the setting to disable "partial wake locks" (in TB) and it will go back to sleep.
pandora radio also has a toggle to keep the screen on while its in use.
maybe you guys are using pandora?

Hi,
Since two days I'm a happy and proud Note owner, but there's one thing, that makes me really go crazy:
I installed the program "Widgetlocker", because the standard lockscreen is quite broing. It actually works quite good, but sometimes the standard lockscreen still apears. Not instead of the widgetlocker, but additional. So I always have to unlock two lockscreens.
Does anybody else has got this problem? And how can I fix it?
I tried to find a solution in different forums and in the program configuration, without sucess!
Thanks for help!
Edit: The error apears mostly when there's a pop-up (gtalk e.g.) or when I plug in the charger....
I turned on root helper and home helper in settings, that fixed it for me. I'm on Stock Rooted XXKK9 if that helps.

I presume you have set the lock screen to "none" in the actual phone settings too?

My widgetlocker works fine. Been using it since day 1. Hmm.. Sorry. Not sure how to help.
chrcad,
Your problem seems related to the fact that Android is not having enough memory left ans simply closes "useless" apps and considers that WL is part of them. To prevent that to happen, simply check in advanced settings the "refuse to suspend WL" box and Android will look another application than WL to close

Thanks @ everybody for the help, but unhappily it's still not working properly.
The problem always apperas, when the phone's sleeping and a gTalk message comes in.... but ONLY, when the gTalk ppop-up is activated......
Any (more) idea?
you are leaving it running all the time aren't you?
I use to have the same problem, very rarely but it was still annoying. I have put a lock on widgetlocker so if I ever close all programs, widgetlocker is still running. It's not happened since but it's only been a few days so I'll see.

Some pop-ups cause this if they're designed to appear underneath the stock lockscreen rather than dismiss it.
For now:
1) Easy Wake Mode disables the system lockscreen
2) WL Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > Aggressive Dismiss stock lockscreen. This should work, but it's not well tested yet so it's off by default.
It seems push notifications works in sleep mode in EDGE/3G for me.
I don't know if it was written before but this information may help you.
When you enter Samsung Apps, It installs an app called "Samsung Push Service". After that push notifications works perfectly.
I'm using JVKPE stock rom.
Thanks! Helped me alot!
That app keeps your phone awake, that's why notifications work.
This problem is now solved by XDA_bam in his latest kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355675.

Are your sure that It keeps the phone awake?
Not so sure, but you can check it. Install CPU Spy (it's free), then open it, press the menu button->Reset timers and turn the screen off. Leave it like this for a while, then turn the screen on and Refresh CPU Spy stats. See the percentage of Deep sleep, it should be above 80%.

I guess you are right that ruins battery and I guess this app is for pushing Samsung Apps's notifications... While the phone is awake notifications works. That explains everything.
So, Is there a way to solve this issue without a custom kernel? I'm quite happy with my phone and don't wanna plug it to the odin again.

No, unless you contact xda bam for his patch and u patch it to your stock kernel and flash it... just flash the kernel, its very simple

doesn't work to me
I have installed the both Samsung Push Service and the XDA_bam kernel. None of them appear to work. As soon as the phone enters the deep sleep mode, no notifications arrive.
Wi-Fi works just fine, Gmail notifications arrive even earlier than to my webmail interface. 2G/3G doesn't work properly (it only works a few minutes after the screen is turned off).
I'm on a rooted XXKPH, XDA_BAM kernel version 10.
Any ideas? I'm losing patience with this phone and timely emails are VERY important for me

You're still on XXKPH??? try XXKPQ or XXKPU along with BCK 10 rc 14.
And do not install samsung push service... that is meant for use with samsung ChatOn and is a battery hog.

Did as you said. Installed a clean XXKPE, then a clean XXKPQ and after that - the BCK rc14 (cache wiped, restarted the phone for about 5 times). No luck.
Few minutes after the screen is off notifications arrive, but later, when the phone is in the deep sleep mode, they either arrive considerably late (e. g. 10 minutes late), or do not arrive at all.
Any ideas? Thanks a million!

Hmmm... try with this kernel and report.. http://www.mediafire.com/?5rq4amddbhjdhub
Try over both 2G/3G and wifi.... and make sure you set wifi sleep policy to never...
also if you are using gmail, open the app and go to settings... go to account settings and uncheck the notify once option.
Also make sure Juicedefender and other such apps are not running.

First of all, thank you for being so helpful.
I did everything as you told. However, just as before, WiFi notifications appear to be working constantly, but the 2G / 3G notifications stop working after a while (I suppose when the phone goes to deep sleep).
So until now, I've tried the B10, B10 rc10 and B10 rc14. None of them appear to fix the issue.
I'm also using Launcher Pro, but I suppose this is not related.
EDIT: I've posted about this issue in the XDA_bam's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355675&page=36), so maybe the guys there may have other ideas. Thanks again for all your help.

T mobile us, rooted unlocked, never put custom Rom on it. I used to be able to tether even when screen shut off, now once the screen shuts off the data stops until I turn the screen back on. Any ideas how to fix this besides leaving screen on?

Bummer.
This actually had me thinking, since google play music is running before the screen shuts off and it constantly draws data, maybe thats why it stays active even when the screen is off. So I am going to have to test this theory by loading a huge webpage on the tethered device to see if you need a constant demand for data for tethering to keep working, I suppose I could just a youtube video.
Edit: My theory panned out and may lead to a fix. This is what I did
1) Turn on FoxFi an make sure screen doesn't time out 2} Tether my Asus Infinity to it making sure the phone screen doesn't time out 3) Start a long youtube video using the youtube app, I tried a 7 minute one. 4) Turn screen off on the phone and I was able to watch the whole video while tethered to my one s
My conclusion is if there is a constant data draw the tether will keep working even when screen is off. So they have enabled a rapid cutoff of wifi if your screen shuts off with no data draw, if there is a draw the data will keep flowing.
Test it out for yourself and share your results, off to try netflix.
Edit 2: Further testing confirms this on my device, This time I used netflix streamed dark of the moon and it continued to allow the tether to work. I dont want to burn my months data out testing this so we need a few more people to try this.
I have the EU rom but I'm experiencing the same issue.
I'm using Airdroid and it stops responding as soon as the screen shuts off. I can confirm that Ready2Mosh is right, since if I turn on the web radio and then shut off the screen Airdroid works flawlessly.
I have never noticed this before 4.0.4 so I'd guess the bug wasn't there. This is a major bug that has to be fixed soon by HTC.
What about 3g connection? Does it shut off too?
Does it do it if you just use the built in tethering app?
I don't think it is really a bug with android per se vs design
that is sleeping the app as backgrounded since screen is off and not being over riden anymore.
You're right. Tethering isn't put to sleep for me.
I can confirm the issue with airdroid and other apps though. I'm going to open a new thread in order not to hijack this one.
I tried airdroid and that works fine for me though.

this is my problem for 2month TOO
i cant find answer and everyone in around say your phone and htc is a bad brand and ...
so i can't answer for which reason this happend
realy big problem for appZ like What's App
I'm just going to try out lowest screen brightness & never turn off screen and after that the advanced wifi lock & etting you know which works better on battery life. Tho im sure advanced wifi lock tops the other method.
I also I have the same problem, I put a link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34967017 # post34967017 to try to find help, but from what I see, is difficult to solve.
Still seems that advanced wifi lock is best solution right now. When i get 100% charge level i shall try how fast it drains the battery
But the question is why only a few phones have this problem and why a app like advanced wifi lock can fix the problem???????
Mysterious! I tried out different custom roms and radios and the problem was always the same.
Maybe one of the developers of a custom rom can help?
I have a similar issue but its my WiFi hotspot that stops broadcasting signal when screen is off
