Hi,
I have had this issue since I got my C860, but I have lived with it. Now with 1.21B I have my Z all running sweetly so i will raise this issue to you all.
The problem is that irregularly the Z will just suspend, even if i\'m not touching it. It doesn\'t happen too much to be annoyed with, and will never happen when i am playing videos or mp3\'s. It also sometimes happens when i remove my ipda (charge/sync) cable.
Any ideas? It doesn\'t seem to be a hardware issue, so as such i\'m not very worried about it.
-
Yes, as mentioned in a previous thread my C860 also has power management problems - maybe we should do a survey? I don\'t know whether this is HW, SW or both. It\'s annoying however. Power Management isn\'t simple on my machine thats for sure.
-
I\'ve noticed that too, and occasional problems turning it back on, it will blink into life for a second then go off again.
-
padishah_emperor, nod nod! I\'m definitely no longer concerned, if this is happening to other people.
-
maybe the question should be.... who DOESN\'T it happen to!
-
Not done any scientific testing but ...
I seam to have the problem occationally when using a cacko(Sharp) rom. But not when using a standard rom.
I kind of get the fealing it is software related somehow. Can\'t quite pin it down though.
-
I\'ve found that I get this problem on any rom that has the brightness applet installed. If I use the brightness app tp blank LCD or set LCD to lowest level then the Z will sporadically turn itself off. This appears to happen the most when I swivel the screen from portrait to landscape mode. When I press the on button the screen remains blank and I have to use FN+4 to increase the brightness and turn the LCD back on.
On one occassion even the Fn+4 didn\'t work and I had to plug the Z into the ac-adapter to get the lcd to turn back on.
When I remove the brightness applet, all these problems go away, but I like to have the brightness applet for changing brightness in portrait mode. Otherwise I got to open up the power/light applet to change brightness.

Stubear, I think you are on to something, I remember having my brightness turned down via the applet, then having problems powering on, I held the Z up to very bright light and noticed Qtopia was there, I used guesswork and managed to reboot. I was worried for a moment or two that I\'d bust my Z.
-
Cacko has this applet as standard, so would make sense...
I too had a couple scarey moments, where screen kept going off straight after rebooting completed. Cured by guesswork as well

Having similar problems with my sl-c3000 that I have had for about a month. I can hear sounds and can get the usb drive to work, but the screen remains off. Running Japanese Sharp Rom with english conversion. Please help! Have tried the FN+4 for brightness.

With my C760, if I plug it into AC adapter then the screen comes back on and I can reset the Battery Power lcd brightness using the brightness app.

I have a c860, running cacko 1.22.
There has been a number of times I was playing mp3's, with the screen set to blank and the Z in closed clamshell so i could keep it in my pocket.
After a while The z just stops, and I cannot wake it. The only way to make it come back on is to remove the battery for 5 seconds, plug in the AC power and reboot.
I think this may have something to do with my battery though, I've never seen it report below 35% (good) before dropping to 3% and prompting me to recharge the battery.
