Hi, today i have updated my tablet (model SP511) to the android 4.4.4. After the update I have noticed that closing the cover is not putting the tablet on sleep and the screen stays on. Opening the cover works as expected. Anyone else with this issue or i am missing something?

I wish there was more firmwares to flash for this tablet. The phone there's loads, but it's clearly the best tablet and there's nothing.

Same for me too. I hope it will be fixed soon : that is quite annoying.
32 Go SGP512, updated via OTA

(BTW I had troubles with my regular headphones from xiaomi wich now works fine!)

I have a SGP521 (16GB+LTE) and I have updated to 4.4.4 without experiencing this issue. I updated using the Bridge for Mac software (not OTA).

And that didn't help. Darn it. I'm so used to that auto sleep on close, I can look forward to reduced battery life until this is fixed then

This bug has been reported in Sony's support forum, they said they are looking into it. I also have this problem, and I updated via flashtool with factory reset.

I have just got off the phone with Sony support and they have escalated this issue and are looking for a Z2 tablet to test it on.

They did also suggest that I tried doing the update not OTA as this can cause issues but it seems to affect people either way looking at this thread.

It's okay if nothing is running that keeps the tablet awake as it sleeps after a while anyway. Unfortunately, if your wife is playing candy crush and just closes the lid and it will just run down the battery!
