WM6 randomly wakes up?

I'm wondering if this is because of my device (HTC Titan) or because of WM6... all I know is that I never had this happen before!
Basically, I'll pull out my phone sometimes and find that its turned on by itself, and has been sitting with the dim idle backlight on.
I noticed it can be caused by several things but the 2 main ones I've seen is:
1) when the phone switches to/from roaming, it wakes up
2) when using A2DP controls (AVRCP), it wakes up.
I've been using workarounds to keep the backlight off for now (set the phone to roam only, or carrier-only, so it won't be switching in/out of roam, and use core player or just remember to toggle the screen off everytime I use a media AVRCP control), but there has got to be a better way to keep the darned screen off until I press power!
Anyone have any suggestions? This is really an unexpected annoyance as it eats up my battery quickly not knowing its on...

I had a similar issue with whenever I received an email and didnt shut off the device manually. What I eventually ended up doing was setting the device to automagically lock when it was powered off, and this seemed to solve the issue. I'm not sure however if this will fix it in your case because locking it may interfere with AVRCP controls working.

[Q] Samsung DA-E550

Hi XDA-Community,
you are my last Chance of Help. I recently got the Samsung DA-E550 Wireless Audi with a Docking Station and encountered a Problem. I wanted to use the Speaker for my Alarm in the Morning. The Problem is that the Station goes into Standby after 30min and cuts the Bluetooth Connection wich results in usage of the intern Speakers of my Phone instead of the DA-E550.
You know any way to keep the Station powered with a Bluetooth Signal or something else? It was the main Purpose why i got it and that it doesnt work kinda sucks....
Cheers

I ordered one and it is arriving tomorrow - I am also hoping to use it as an alarm clock (My galaxy note 2's alarm isn't quite loud enough - I am a deep sleeper)
I am hoping with tasker I can auto turn off then back on bluetooth 5 min. before wake up time and that will wake up the dock.
If that works I will let you know. (when your dock is on standyby if you turn your phones bluetooth off and back on does that wake up the dock? - if so you can use taker (see link below) to auto turn your bluetooth off and back on a couple min. before your alarm goes off - this is assuming that the dock will auto connect with the speaker upon bluetooth being turned on on your phone.)
As long as when the dock goes into standby it will wake up when a device tries to connect to it via bluetooth this should work.

Nope when it goes to sleep - it is dead to the world untill you hit the power button.
Best option is to go to sleep with a silent mp3 on loop I guess

Yea i tested a bit for myself but couldnt wake up the device but your alternative is a neat trick. Didnt thought of that.

I seem like to have failed the first try this night. Did you try it? Worked it?

Did it work, i am facing the same issue too, sucks cause i cant use it for its main purpose, alarm!

Bluetooth turns screen on

When I get into my car and my bluetooth headunit connects with my Z3, the screen decides to turn on... for no reason whatsoever. I've disabled apps, tried setting up tasker to turn the screen on after a few seconds... yet nothing seems to work.
Why is this happening? I never had this with my Z2, it really sucks when my phone is in my pocket and I just want to drive, instead I get random actions, and even at one point pocket dialed people.

I hate to reply with anything but a solution, but this is an ongoing issue for me as well. It doesn't seem like it's solvable without a custom kernel. After I rooted my Z1C and installed SlimKat, it stopped happening. Since I got my Z3 I haven't been able to figure it out at all. The closest I got was to install a custom lock screen and have Tasker check for BT Connected and [custom lockscreen] started then wait 1 ms and turn the screen off. That used a ton of battery. I guess it's a solution if you find a way to stop the battery drain. Went from 5+ SoT to less than 3 in a day.

Bumping the topic.. exact same problem. Very very irritating. Battery drains out without even my knowing it. Seems like a serious bug.

Bluetooth wake lock persisting through Android versions and clean wipes

So I have been using stock ROM or very close to for the past 6months or so and constantly have this issue despite clean wiping multiple times while moving from Lolipop to M preview to M.
At first I thought it was my specific car but now is happening with the rental I have.
I am new to Bluetooth so maybe normal but I don't think so.
When I connect to my cars Bluetooth then make a call, after the call I get a constant "bluesleep" wake lock until I turn Bluetooth off.
If I make a call during the day while driving then get out of the car when I get home, it keeps my phone awake all night unless I remember to turn blue tooth off.
Ive noticed it only happens once I make a call or use the Bluetooth for something. If I just simply connect to my car, I don't get a wake lock.
Is this how Bluetooth is supposed to work? I can't imagine so but the fact I'm basically stock and have wiped many times and different android versions makes me think maybe it's just an android thing.

it could be app related. gasbuddy has been documented to be a culprit. i can't provide link, but there is a thread on google bug tracker "Issue 87778: Bluetooth wakelock caused by Bluedroid timer keeping device awake"

Wow that worked! Thanks so much

Question Navifly/Mekede M500S issues

Hi
I just got a M500S with 360 option and I'm trying to test everything is working outside the car before installing it but ran into some issues.
I'm testing by just powering it via gnd + acc + live, apart from this and the cameras, nothing else is connected yet because I'd like to get the 360 system working before moving to GPS tests, etc.
Connecting front/left/right/rear cameras doesn't show any input in the 360 app, its still all just showing black - same as without having them connected.
Pressing power button doesn't set head unit to sleep but mute/unmutes - not sure if this is because of a setting.
The date/time isn't stored if the head unit is fully powered off - it resets to last year everytime and doesn't sync automatically over network either. I think I saw something similar mentioned in another thread.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Long press will send to sleep

Change your country and region, and no, the date/time aren't stored in the unit !

Thanks, did change the country and region, guess it just doesn't sync over internet on boot like other androids...

Yes, it does sync, but that is something else than storing it on the unit.
If my unit starts from cold boot after 3+ days not being used, it will sync it's date/time as soon as it has internet. Either directly or via the hotspot from my phone.
And normally that is the hotspot from my phone as I don't want to wait 60 seconds or so for it to sync, but start driving immediately.
3second push on power does send it to sleep, but not to deep-sleep. Your power consumption will remain high.

It does but only after it has connected to the Internet which can take time after the boot sequence has finished.

I didn't mind it not storing - did expect it since it doesn't have internal battery power - although did think it would at least retain the last date/time before power off though.
It is odd that it doesn't sync for me - its not in car yet, I have it connected to home wifi - even after a few minutes after boot (~10 mins) it does not sync. Though not a major issue - just hope to get the camera working.
Yes, thanks, was just looking for the sleep option - mainly turning display off without using toggles in notification drawer, not deep sleep.

Hm... let me try again, since hasn't synced for me even after 10 mins+ after boot.

Just tried again, no sync even after half an hour after cold boot. Internet connects almost immediately after boot, but still no sync. Tried toggling the network-provided time option on and off again hoping it might trigger a sync, but no luck.

My mistake, sorry

Well its not working as intended then, try playing around with some settings in Date and time and rebooting to test, also have you got the GPS antenna connected just in case it uses the GPS sat times to confirm the time.

Thanks! This was it - I can see that as soon as GPS lock is established, within 2-3 seconds the time is synced.
Thanks also @mariodantas , @surfer63

With regard to the camera, I've still not had any luck.
Thought that maybe one of the other inputs powers the 360 camera module separately, so tried plugging into the car, but the 360 app still does not show anything with all 4 cameras attached. Anyone here have experience with installing the 360 version?
I've tried toggling two of the 360 camera options in Factory hoping it might show some signs of life, but nothing yet.

Thought I had the solution by connecting 12V to the reverse line, but not right solution.

Odd, I thought 360 was designed to be on all the time as it's for being able to see the blind spots even when moving forward. Will you need to feed reverse with 12v all the time or just when the car is in reverse.

Thought the same - recording when driving might be something I go for, so 12v via ACC is what I'm thinking, though ideally I'd like it to be powered just when reversing or when the 360 app is open.
The feed stops around 1-2 seconds after disconnecting the 12v.
Don't know if I'm missing an option, but if anyone has any ideas on how I might be able to get it to power up on when the 360 app is open, I'm all ears.

I don't have 360 so my headunit does not have the 360 hardware but the option are in the factory settings so will have a look.

2 settings in factory, what they mean could be anything as bad translation is normal.
Single 360
and
360 switch
Both with on/off options.

I did try toggling the two options before, but it didn't make a difference. Looking through one of the comments on 4pda, the second is to switch between stock 360 system and this. Though, tried again and can't see switching them making any difference.
Just tried again and saw that powering via reverse line means I can't back out of the 360 app and it stays on top, and also switches to reverse view (understandable), but there must be another way - I can see any looking at the pin config. Can't call it usable as is.

I’m having the same issue; I’ve noticed my 7862 when using maps on a long drive the background goes a bit pink/purple ish…
When I first connected the 360 cameras I only connected the left and right side - these were only connected by the CVBS connectors and worked perfectly out of the box - somewhere in between randomly they decided to stop working and all my 360 cameras don’t work.
I have played around with factory settings and can’t seem to get anything to work. Including the two options “360 switch” and “single 360”. I have figured out a front camera can work with the RCA cable that says CVBS in on the connector block closest to the fuse, but I am at wits end trying to figure out why all my 360 cameras show as a blank screen… possibly something wrong with the connectors behind the head unit or the specified chip these units are shipped with? I have contacted the manufacturer - in my case - navifly - but I was wondering if you’ve had any success @Moon2
