I just updated my Gtab to tnt lite 5.0. Now when it goes to sleep I can't wake it up using the power button or the volume buttons. The only way to use it again is to reboot. Do I need to start all over and re-flash it?
KJRain,
I'm not sure mine is working right all the time. When I resume from sleep after a short period of time, it does come back. But a couple of times when it has been sleeping a while, it had to be rebooted.
If you had a good install the first time for 5.0.0, I guess it would be reasonable to re-flash and try again. If you had problems, however, and I did -- I would be inclined to wait and see how many other folks have the problem and how it gets addressed.

I believe it's becoming a common issue with the new rom. I was one of the testers for TnT Lite 4.3.0 (pre-release to TnT Lite 5.0.0), and that's when I first experienced the sleep issue. I also experience the sleep issue in TnT Lite 5.0.0. My gut is telling me that it's an issue with 3991, but I can't explain why some folks don't experience the issue. Based on the postings I've read, the issue is affecting the majority of the folks who upgraded to TnT Lite 5.0.0.
I installed the Tap Tap Power widget last night. In early tests, using the widget to power down my Gtab is working out well.

Hey butch I installed tap tap but the gtab still wont wake up from sleeping for a long time. How did you get the promixity sensor to work?
I had this issues. with 5.0 my tablet would NEVE wake from sleep. I tried to re-flash it twice but kept having the same proble.
Just flashed 4.2.5 and will give that a spin. So far no wake from sleep issue.
KJRain,
I don't know about the sensor, but I have gone back and built my other G-Tablet completely stock today. All the way up to 3991 with no other enhancements, etc.
It does not have the wake up problem. Works just fine.
Rev
Maybe this may give a lead to the cause. I found that the apps have a lot to do with the sleep/boot problem. On 2.4, installing Google skymap caused the gtab to reboot from sleep.
On 4.2.5, install TSCalibrate apk caused the gtab reboot instead of resuming from sleep. It seems that if the apks dive deep into the hardware, this problem occurs. I made a backup before installing TScalibrate and indeed restoring fixed the reboot problem.

KJRain,
I use the Tap Tap power wigdet to put my Gtab to sleep. When I wake up the Gtab, I press the power button it's on the Gtab. Since I installed the Tap Tap Power widget, the Gtab wakes up for me every time.
I couldn't figure out how to get the promixity sensor to work either. I was pressing all over the screen with no joy. As long as the Gtab wakes up using the power button, I'm happy. Good luck.

Ok cool. I just re-flashed it and I'm about to put 5.0 back on. I will try the tap tap again. Thanks.
I tried everything I could think of tap tap app, no lock app and nothing worked. I just went back to TNT 4.25 everything is working fine now. I'll wait until another version of TNT 5 is available.
When someone goes to TNT 5.0.1 can you let me know if the awaking from sleep is working.
Haven't had any problem with it... but then I really didn't have a problem with it on 5.0. There were a few folks in other threads that tracked their wake from sleep problems to rogue apps (SetCPU comes to mind).
Another App
Button Savior was causing some problems. Killing the service allowed me to press the power button quickly on and off. Removed app.
Then the power button wouldn't work again.
Now I'm uninstallind the Tap Tap app.
Pressing power button on and off worked.
Then I set 'End button Behavior' to nothing with Extras. Sleep time set to 15 secs. Pressing power first time brought me out.
Second time, had to reboot.
Reboot, tab auto slept after 15 secs, pressed power button, woke up.
Autosleep, power button reboots.
This is driving me nuts.
The behavior seems inconsistent.
TnT 4.3.2. Partitioned the SD card a while back, IIRC for Vegan Tab. 2048/0.
Oh, and can someone verify me so I don't have to wait 5 minutes between postings?
Sleep issue on TnT 4.3.2
I am having the same issues as those above and have followed all of the same recommendations too. This issue is very inconsistent but I suspect it has something to do with the power button mapping or service locking up. Although since I'm not Dev this is purely speculation but increasingly annoying.
Let me emphases that I received this yesterday after the Woot! sale and I'm very impressed with everything the TNT Devs have done to this build above all others IMHO. This is the only issue I'm seeing and a fix would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Techguy
Problem solved....for the moment.
I was able to resolve the issue by also upgrading to 4.4.0. So far I have been able to power the screen off and resume at a later point. Prior to completing this I couldn't turn the screen off at all.
Good luck!
Updated to TNT 4.4
I just updated to TNT 4.4 over the weekend and I does in fact resolve many of the issues, sleep and errors that were showing up. Thanks for the fix roebeet!
I am using Vegan 5.1.1, and have experienced the same issue. I searched around and have not find a resolution yet. But, it does not happen often. I also installed "AnyUnlock" to wake the device by pressing the volume buttons. It has been working fine since.
TnT Light 5.01
Hi guys!
First of all thanks for this forum - it is very useful.
A'm using TnT Light 5.01 for about a week and don't have "no wake from sleep" problems so far.
But since yesterday I'v got wifi not working after wake (keep connecting and disconnecting infinitely). Powering off and on helps (while just disabling and enabling wifi from Settings - don't). I'm sure, that first several days after flashing 5.01, wifi was working fine after resume.
Any suggestions?

I've seen this happen with stock, on occasion - still you might to try a data wipe if it's persistent.
How'd you manage TNT Lite 5.0.1, a week ago? I pulled it (saved the links, perhaps?)

Has anyone had any issue with the G Tablet shutting down after it goes to sleep? Right now I am running virtually stock (rooted with latest VS update). If I leave the tablet for 10 minutes the screen will shut off as expected, but when I try to wake it by hitting the power momentarily the tablet does nothing. If I press power for a few seconds the tablet boots up as it does from being completely shut down.
If I select sleep from the power off menu, I can wake it if I hit the power button or home button, but only if I do it within about 30 seconds. If I wait any longer, it seems to shutdown. I don't see any settings anywhere for this.
Other than this, everything else seems fine. About the only other thing I can think to mention is I did flash to tnt lite 2.02 and had to recover due to boot loops. I've reset, cleared data and cache, etc...
Thanks for any feedback.
Same happens to mine sometime. Currently running TNT 2.02
I've noticed this a few times also. I have no idea what's causing it. Fortunately, boot up is fast!
Same here
Not all the time, but close to half.
Plain vanilla not rooted.
mysterious fix
I had the similar problem where is shuts off half the time after pressing the sleep button. The symptom went away after installing the Miren browser. Can't explain it.
SH
This was happening to me and I tried many nvflashes and every rom so everything you can try. I exchanged mine today after a lot of research online and now for the first time it sleeps and wakes up. I am certain that there are just a few models that can not be fixed.
So happy to be able to hit the power button to have it wake up.
I recommend if you still can then exchange it for another.
My Malata Zpad does this sometimes too. I thought it was movement that did it, or the magnets on the case, but it looks to do it at random (or when something runs in the background?)
It used to do it 5-6 times a day, now that it's a week old it seems to do it maybe once or twice a day.
I am having the same problem. I do not remember this before the last update (3389).
The tablet is stock, not rooted.
I use the volume button to wake mine.
any one else having this problem? just got my g tablet today and it always shuts down when it goes to sleep
any way to fix it?
i was going to root it right away but hesitating now since it will void warranty - the shutdown after sleep is kinda annoying...thanks
Yeah I had similar issues under stock firmware but subsequent patches fixed the issue for me. Have yet tohave it happen on vegan or tnt lite roms.

Did you wipe to factory reset before going to vegan? Mine was doing that, but I never did factory wipe for subsequent vegan updates. Since I have done the clean install, never had this problem.
There are also several kernel updates which allows VPN, cifs, ntfs and other enhancement as well as higher fps.
Love my tablet.
well i only have the tablet for a few hours - and that was a problem out of the box
before installing anything i did the "wipe user data" option from the settings menue in the original/stock TnT - then logged in using Family name - and shut down to root (install CM/vegan ect)
i just downloaded and installed this: "1.0.0 Beta5.1 Link" - thats posted on the first post on the vegan thread
so didn't install any kernal updates or anything yet...if you can point me towards them and what to install i would really appreciate it - thanks
also seem to have a problem where no matter where on the homescreen i swipe down it pulls down the notification bar - any way to fix that?
my solution
I had the same problem out of the box as well. I tried using the Vegan rom with the same result. I went ahead and downloaded a free app called hibernate from the market. It puts it to sleep and allows me to wake it up like how its suppose to. As of now, it has yet to shutdown when asleep.
My ghetto fix til someone can truly id the problem with a proper solution. Hope this helps...

If you are running ADW launcher it is a "gestures" setting that can be changed in the ADW specific settings.
The ntofication bar problem was caused by adw ex launcher
Still having problems with the sleep mode thing, tried all thedelete user data and cashed deleting still no luck
Other then that I really love this tablet. So should I return it?

Mine too
I'm having this same problem....I find it hard to believe this is a "hardware" issue although I guess its possible. I'm running Vegan 5.1beta but it did it with the stock 3389 firmware too before I upgraded.
This issue is the only fatal flaw thus far I've run into, I'd love to get it resolved.

This is a "bump".
I just wanted to know if the folks with the original issue on this thread (gTab shutting down after sleep) tried my suggestion and if so did it fix the issue for them?
I had the same problem and it fixed it for me.
Scenario:
Was working on my Samsung Vibrant running Axura 2.0.5. As I was doing my regular thing, games, browsing, etc. I noticed that my home button got slower and slower to respond. By the time I was done, my home button didn't respond any more.
I turned on noise and haptic respond to see if the button was recognizing anything and it didn't. No confirmation that the button is being touched.
I cleared caches and did a factory restore, and still having the issue.
I flashed a new ROM, this time back to Macnut with stock JK2 Kernel.
Now I can use the home button ONLY when it is already lit. In other words I can not use the home button unless I do something else previously.
I read in other forums that other people had this issue initially with their phones when the phone came out but I haven't heard anyone having this issue after 4+ months of use of the phone.
The question I have is this a hardware issue or is it a software issue. I guess the best way would be to Odin back to stock JFD and see if that takes care of the issue. Just was hoping to settle down the flashing for a few days.
What is your guys suggestion on this subject, and were any of you a part of the initially dialogue on the subject?
Thanks guys.
I would flash back completely to stock, unroot and have it just like you picked it up from the store. This should relieve your mind of any rogue errors causing the home button to not work right. Test the home button and then if it's still not working, simply take it back and exchange it. This way at least you can get an exchange without having to fiddle with the phone any more.
It might just be hardware my phone dis this a lot and one day I thought I had enough and pushed the home button down. Hard. And now it works everytime! Try that

Hope you can help me out. When my tablet running 2.2 is waking up out of sleep mode, it keeps starting up google search. It's almost like the search button (top right when in landscape) is continuously being pressed.
I have done a factory reset, without any luck.
After a while this error just stops and the tablet functions normal again. When being used, this does not occur. Only whilst waking up and starting up this happens.
Any suggestions?
never had this error.
The only wake issue I have is sometimes it does not want to wake, or wifi has issues connecting after a wake from deep sleep.
It's working ok again.
Did a reset, calibrated the system and now it's working perfectly.
So if you might ever happen to have this same problem, reset an calibrate the system and you're ready to go.
So I can't post in the developer section yet but, I have noticed a problem since flashing to the EC10 kernel. If I have messaging open and in a message if I hit the power button to put the phone e to sleep it crashes and reboots.
I was running, Super Clean 2.9, DL09, EB16, no voodoo
I wiped all data, cache and dalvik cache, then using clockwork flashed the kernel then super clean again.
Now I'm running SuperClean 2.9, DL09, EC10, no voodoo and have the problem?
I'm going to try and reflash everything tonight, just wondering if anyone else expierenced this? I can repeat the problem over and over so its not just a random fluke.
*edit*
So I can crash the phone about 75% of the time, sometimes usually by trying to put the phone to sleep with a program open.
*edit*
So after deleting that particular conversation the problem no longer occurs. Not sure what the deal was.
Im thinking it had something to do with a mms file you recieved or sent
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
So I spoke to soon, the problem occurs in other things besides messaging.
My phone crashed 20+ times today. I can pretty much cause it crash on purpose at this point. It will almost always crash if I try and put it to sleep without returning to the home screen before putting it to sleep, or before it puts itself to sleep. If I return to the home screen first it really doesn't do it. When it goes to sleep the menu, home, back, search buttons all light up, but the screen is off, if I'm on the phone or have music playing, that continues for 10-15 seconds, then the boot animation appears, and it has restarted.
I do have the log files to if that would help anyone?
I'm so relieved I'm not the only one experiencing this! I was beginning to think that my phone was physically broken or something.
Like Ohio I'm experiencing lots and lots of crashes and restarts when I hit the power button to turn the screen off and even sometimes when the screen goes off on its own, and this happens on SC2.9.2 for me, but I also think it was happening on AOSP with an EC10 kernel, though I'd written it off at the time as a fluke before it started happening every few minutes on SC.
I can make it crash very frequently by pressing the power button while I'm watching a Youtube video or if I am at the glass swipe lockscreen and I press the power button while holding the phone upside down to turn the screen off. Very strange. In addition, it also does it seemingly randomly throughout the day, and it actually did it again not 3 minutes ago for no reason at all as it was just on the homescreen.
I have no recollection of this ever happening before EC10, and I've tried multiple EC10 kernels with UV and standard voltage as well as multiple ROM installs after complete wipes, all of which produce similar results.
I don't know if it's related, but I've also been experiencing freezes where the screen stays on but becomes completely unresponsive, save for the touch keys which will still flash but not make the haptic feedback work. I have to do a battery pull to get it to work again. I can make THIS happen merely by browsing the Reddit Is Fun app for about five minutes, which it has never, ever done before, but I've also had it freeze up on me at other times as well, including two minutes after a SC install where I was just signing into the Market.
I'm going to go back to an EB kernel and see if things go a little better. Are there others out there having these issues with EC10?
I went back to Superclean 2.9.0 with its stock EB01 kernel, and I've had no more issues with the crashes and resets at screen off.

Champion thread to remove the issues you've got - especially ones that are tough to track down.
Swyped on my Fascinate - please excuse any swypo's...
This doesn't really address the issue at all.
That link doesn't address this issue at all.
My P7510 started to do a strange thing.
I usually never turn off the device and I just let it in sleep mode with everything off to save battery (wifi, bluetooth, ...)
Lately I noticed that sometimes the screen turns on and off by itself every few minutes.
No physical harm has ever been done to the tab and the power button doesn't seem to be sticky, so I think it may be some kind of malware.
I'm just asking what do you guys think could cause this before going with the trouble of doing a factory reset.
btw i'm on rooted stock ics rom.
thanks
Have you installed any sort of app that has permissions to wake the device or turn on/keep the screen on when running? Try uninstalling a couple of recent apps to see if one of them is the culprit.
