Screen freezing after update.

---

Wasn't sure which section to put this in. Did a search but nothing came up. Ever since update screen has been freezing when going to lock screen. Acer_A500_1.139.05_COM_GEN1 uk version 32GB. Wondering if anyone else has this problem? Could be an app maybe? Thanks

OK found another topic about this Sleep of Death issue. Apparently turning off all forms of lock screen solves the problem. Ill try it and see if that helps. It seems to have made a difference already though because mine was doing it almost every time I turned off the display.

I'm starting to believe this whole sleep thing is a tegra issue. I'm just looking at trends here. This happened on the Gtablet in every ROM I used though very, very rarely with TnT Lite or the newest stock VS had on there before I sold it. Still, it happened. It happens currently on the LG G2x, on the Zpad, Advent Vega and more recently, Asus Transformer and Xoom - so seemingly on most if not all Tegra 2 systems.

Each user experience may be different, but for proof simply google [name of tablet] sleeps and won't wake up. You'll find hits on EVERY Tegra 2 based tablet and also the G2x.

I never saw the issue frequently in my A500, maybe once a week at most. I haven't seen it since the update, so I'm crossing my fingers. I feel 99% that I'll see it again, just hoping it's few and far between.

Obviously this is all speculation, I've based this opinion on observation, research and as I mentioned, trends. I'm not saying it's happening to EVERY Tegra 2 based device owner, but it is happening to many.

although I can appreciate your attempt to make a connection with this issue and some deficiency lol, google searches of "PENIS VAGINAS" WILL in fact give you search results of PENI and VAGINAS..... so I really don't know how valid your query is.

None the less I will say I have and work with a handful of tegra 2 devices and have never heard on the support end of things about this issue with the exception of the Transformer which, apart from the shoddy build quality issues, is very prone to this issue.

Well as I said, I owned a GTablet, I've played with a Zpad, Advent Vega and I have been reading up on several forums; pretty much every Tegra 2 device has this problem. It all boils down to the tablet's hibernation mode. It's either turning off, sleeping or freezing when it's not used for a long time and it's affecting these tabs (and phone) to different degrees.

Insofar as the search I mentioned, if you plug in most devices, you'll see they don't have an issue with waking up.
If you plug in the Xoom, TF, Iconia, GTablet, G2x, Avent Vega, Zpad...etc. you'll see they all have users reporting the issue - that was my point
I'm also hard pressed to find other android devices plagued with this issue. They have their quirks but waking from sleep and freezing on wake is distinctly Tegra 2.

Of course, it could just be some giant coincidence and the lowest common denominator is not in fact Tegra 2. I could be way off the bat.

I came from else where in search of a fix for this or at least to find the source of the problem. It's been suggested to do a factory reset, or might be weatherbug app or to use airplane mode with wifi and a few other things. So far it's only conjecture and guesswork it seems. Anyone able to confirm the problem is the tegra2 or perhaps the update? I thought it might be the device itself but according to other forums with the tegra2 it's a recurring issue regardless of device. Hope we get a fix soon, it's rather annoying.

Just to update. Screen still freezing. Its getting almost unusable now. I thought this latest update was specifically aimed at fixing this. I don't know of this is a honeycomb specific bug or what but it seems not everyone is suffering so I assume it must be hardware. Getting highly annoyed with Acer not taking my enquiries seriously. Anyone else frustrated to the limit yet?

I also recently updated to the 1.139.04 firmware and the screen has been freezing about 50% or more of the time when waking up even if I just put it to sleep a few minutes prior. I can barely use it all now. If the 3.1 update doesn't fix all these issues it's getting sold. I just don't have the time to fool around with a tablet that half works. I've also been having a lot of issues with the browser and market crashing or not responding at all. I'm starting to feel like I should have just waited for the 3.1 update before even buying it. =/

Just to let you know the latest. I upgraded to using 1.1.41.05 and it has solved all of the screen freezing problems. I've been using this patch for 3 days now without any problems/freezing at all. Guide is here
