Tilt 2 has narcolepsy

[sleze]

I don't know how it started but my Tilt 2 keeps falling asleep (screen off) after 5 seconds. This happens whether it is plugged in or on battery. The only way to stop it is to open Google Maps (I think Google Maps prevents sleeping on purpose) but as soon as Google Maps looses focus (even opening the Google Maps menu), after 5 seconds the phone goes back to sleep.

I have turned off all the power settings to no avail. I have been using SU2U lock for over a month with no problems. The last change to the phone was installing Gyrator about a week ago but this still occurs even with Gyrator not running.

Help!

One additional bit of info. It goes to sleep even if the phone is not idle. I could be in the middle of clicking something and then...LIGHTS OUT!

are you accidentally hitting the power button by any chance, particularly when the hardware keyboard is out, this is happening to a lot of people

(there is a cab fix for this by h andy)

edit... i just noticed you said its happening at 5 second intervals. obviously that cant be the power button issue.

Mine did too

My tilt 2 was doing the same thing.

I was worried that I had a bad phone.

I was on NRG's 4 dec 21XXX when this was happening. I reflashed twice, and still the same problem.

Reflashed to the 10 DEC 21XXX and it went away (well as for one day that is)

Phew!!!

Ugh. I was hoping reflashing wasn't the solution. I am still using the stock ROM with a bunch of software installed.

At least I am not crazy. Someone else is having the same problem on their Diamond 2.

I have found that the placement of the lights out button is very very bad for typing with the physical keyboard, I am still relearning how to keep my knuckle away from it.

Update on this problem. I removed Smart Lock and soft resetted a few times. So far so good.

I am not accidentally hitting the sleep button.
