Using the 3.4 kernel myself for a couple of days now and i don't see any of this. is it an a500 or a501, and if it's an a500 did you enable the ro.carrier=wifi-only in the /system/build.prop?
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Yes i did as it is an A500. I didn't see this issue before kernel 3.4. It happen again today. Just went to use my tab and the battery is completely dead. I used it for about 10 minutes after a full charge. For some reason the screen is coming on and staying on until it kills the battery. I will have to do a full wipe and start again I guess.

Edit: Did full wipe and reinstalled 1.1 with Thor's latest kernel and it's all good now. Running nicely at 1.5Ghz

Edit2: Damn it, it happened again. It was ok for a day or so, I just went to use it and it was dead again. Checked battery usage graph and it showed screen had come on and stayed on until the battery went flat. I'm beginning to wonder if my hardware has gone bad. I might try Taboonay and see if I still have the issue. This is getting really annoying.

Edit3: It's still happening with Taboonay and the latest Thor kernel! This is really weird. It was fine until about a week ago. I might have to wipe and not reinstall any of my apps, but it kind of defeats the purpose having a tablet with no apps.

Is there anything else I can do to figure how what is waking the screen up and causing it to say on? Logs or anything?

Update:

Version 1.2:

Update to 7.006.01

Integrated OC kernel (use setcpu, "pimp my cpu" or System Tuner to overclock or undervolt)

Fixed previous bugs (photoeditor and camcorder fc)

If you want to get rid of the cell-standby uncomment ro.carrier=wifi-only in /system/build.prop

Works OK. Try force close from within app manager and then clear data. This is a much mentioned (and kind of a standard) solution (for misbehaving apps).
[Acer Iconia A500] loekis:
I know this procedure - but there is no data to delete, neither cache. Data is zero... but frankly i would never try to update a custom rom with Acer standard-update, so it doesn't really bother me.

Video editor and CPU q's

Greetings!

Very nice ROM! Thanks much!

(I'm running 3.2 HV 1.2)

Questions: What is the "google video editor"? I can't seem to find it anywhere in apps. What am I missing?

The OP is a little confusing to me. Does one use setcpu to change CPU setting for the stock kernel that comes with HV 1.2?

Finally, what settings are recommended for best batt life?

Thanks again!

[Acer Iconia A500] Diskun:
Is it just me or the download is reaaaally slow right now? Probably lots of people trying to download from a private server at the same time.

Can somebody mirror the last version somewhere? Namely MegaUpload for instance. I can't spend 3 hours waiting for the download, I'm working on the morning shift (06:00 GMT +1) and I need some sleep!

Mine was relatively quick. (in the SW US)....FWIW...
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
I'm going to try this and see if it helps my issue with screen coming on and staying on until the battery goes flat.

Hoping it was an issue with the A501 rom

Why does the system updater crash even though I did a full wipe before installing?

I know stopping it and clearing the data fixes it but why does it crash in the first place?
[Acer Iconia A500] autom8r:
Thanks Richard I find this rom to be badass!
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Was just going to say this rom was working great but went turn it on and it was off.

Damn sleep of death. I have 2 major issues with this tablet, it either won't go to sleep and kills my battery or it goes to sleep and doesn't wake up. It's driving me nuts.
[Acer Iconia A500] schaze:
I have the same problem with this as with 1.1 - wifi conncection is dropping periodically... it is not the dhcp rescan issue which can be fixed by deleting the dhcp.lease file but something else....

I have never had wifi problems with any 3.1 rom but 3.2 seems to be a problem no matter what ROM I choose...

anyone else having this?
[Acer Iconia A500] msimindlessmsi2:
Only issue I have experienced so far was the updater kept FC on me. Everything else seems to work and my camera/camcorder actually works better than stock.

I deleted FDUpdater.apk and now no more FC because the update is gone LOL!

Also I used File Manager HD to edit my build.prop. When I tried to edit directly I would get an error. So, I copied the file to my sdcard and edited it>renamed the old one to build.prop.bak>and copied my modified one=WIN!
[Acer Iconia A500] ibila:
how do i uncomment the line in build.prop.

I have wifi only.
[Acer Iconia A500] HIcycles:
I'm gonna have to chime in on this one. I've been having this same problem with HoneyVillain and Taboonay with Thor's Kernel and Richard's kernel. I'm gonna try and do a full wipe and see what happens... (i didn't wipe... and my shorts are probably dirty, too)
[Acer Iconia A500] ibila:
How dit you do the renaming?...mine fails saving when i name it other than build.prop.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
My tablet woke up and stayed awake at the lock screen again, even with this new rom. I'm out of ideas now, I barely installed any apps at all this time.

Set CPU

Google Reader

Titanium Backup

EasyPDF

RootExplorer

That is all. It lasted 1 day and 12 hours of not waking up and staying on. I noticed it had happened because I heard the noise it makes when it says "Connect your charger". I checked the battery history graph and sure enough it says it was awake and the screen on for the last couple of hours. Is there any log I can look at to see what is causing it to wake up? Do you think I need to return my tablet?
[Acer Iconia A500] monki-magic:
Mate,

Not sure if my method is the best...

From my pc.. connect via usb

adb pull system/build.prop

edit with 'write build.prop' (as notepad can't handle formatting)

adb remount

adb push build.prop system/build.prop
[Acer Iconia A500] msimindlessmsi2:
You can use any Android file manager that allows root. First copy the build.prop file to your sdcard or ext_sd. Make another copy as well named build.prop.bak just in case.

Now modify the one that was copied, not the original. It should save just fine this way. Now before you try to copy your new modified build.prop, delete the one in system. You can now copy over the modified one. Reboot and done!
[Acer Iconia A500] dscribe:
Previous posts show there is more than one way to do this. I simply used Root Explorer and mounted the directory containing build.prop as r/w (read/write), then opened the file in the text editor and removed the "#" from the beginning of the correct line, then saved the file and remounted the directory back to r/o (read only).
[Acer Iconia A500] HIcycles:
I don't think the problem is your tablet. I didn't have this problem on 3.1 based roms. I'm probably gonna roll back to an earlier ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] dscribe:
You may be right but I've never had this happen on any ROM, including the current 3.2 ROM I'm using.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
I didn't have the issue on 3.1 roms either. Maybe there is an issue with 3.2.

The issue seems to occur when I have the tablet on for a long time. I never turn mine off, so it is often on standby for a day or more. The last time it happened it had been on for 36 hours before it decided to wake up and stay awake. Maybe if I reboot it more often it won't happen.
[Acer Iconia A500] autom8r:
For those with bad battery life try wiping your battery stats file, and search the market for battery calibration. I get days of battery use off this thing with medium usage. Also, when flashing you should always wipe when taking such a big jump. I have no problems with this Rom at all!
[Acer Iconia A500] proxonic:
This ROM is awesome - it works really really fast. But as other i have some issues.

Richard - would it be possible to fix FC of system updater and exchange service??

Systemupdated i fixed by wiping the data of this app. But it is quiet annoying if i see FC of the app directly after flash of new ROM.

Exchange service - i fixed it similar as one of the guys - by removing some big mails from my exchange accout - since then no FC. But i think Vache already resolved this issue in some other correct way.

Other thing - Configuration after new flash - would it be possible to do it like Vache did it? I mean - first configuration of networks - then configuration of google account. It does not make sense in oposite way as it is now.
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
Soz my thanks button still is not working :(

But thank you very much for your great work as always Richard :D

[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Well another day and another day of the tablet waking up and staying awake until the battery dies. I am at my wits end over this. I never had this issue on 3.1 so either my hardware has gone bad or there is something dodgy about 3.2.

To all those who say you have no problems like mine do you leave your tablet in standby all the time? Mine seems OK for 24 hours or so and then will randomly wake up and never go back to sleep. It is happening every day :(

Here is a screenshot of my battery graph. Notice how it is all good until that large amount of screen on and awake at the end. The tablet was sitting in my bag the whole time.

http://db.tt/dihf3kV1
[Acer Iconia A500] loekis:
I remember a similar behaviour on original 3.01 - but never again since the first update. My tablet is in standby the whole day - or in use - during the night i disable wifi and sound. Reboot only "on demand" for example when flashing a rom or kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] proxonic:
i just received today an adapter Micro-HDMI to HDMI and connected to my monitor HP 2309m.

Tablet say - HDP-HDMI Connected (or something like that) but on the monitor i see only the green big droid saying "720p?".

Is there something wrong with the ROM or it is my monitor?

HV 1.2 with Richardtrip Kernel 3.4.
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelh99:
I haven't followed all your posts but have you tried wiping, reinstalling the rom and leaving it with the stock apps for a couple of days to see if this happens before you re-install your apps? Maybe it's an app you're installing.

I also have never had this happen with HV 1.1 & kern 3.4
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
I always do a full wipe, the latest time I only installed

Set CPU

Google Reader

Titanium Backup

EasyPDF

RootExplorer

I can't imagine it's any of those.

I just noticed something interesting. This morning I woke up and it was on again, instead of turning it off I left it on for a few minutes to see if it turned off, it didn't .I went into the screen timeout settings and changed them from 2 minutes to 1 minute and sure enough the screen turned off again after 1 minute. So something is messing with the screen timeout. Temporarily disabling it or something, really weird.
[Acer Iconia A500] mahalocat:
Im on HV 1.1 with the 3.4 Kernal....no issues using the HDMI....

Was going to update tonight....maybe not! :(
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Fully charged my battery last night. Used it for about 45 minutes in the morning then put it in my bag. Went to use it about 8 hours later, it was dead. Turned it on, battery graph shows that it woke up shortly after i put it in my bag and stayed on for 7 hours straight, which is when the battery gave out.

Could it be something weird with the settings that get restored from my google account? Because full wipe doesn't help. Next i guess i will do a full wipe but tell it not to save any settings to my google account and see if that helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] hav0c:
Just bought the A500 and currently flashing your ROM. Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
When you are done using your tab do you put it into standby pressing the power button, or just let it time out? I have never seen mine come back on when I physically press the power button, but often when the screen times out.
[Acer Iconia A500] liu2002:
I del the two apks in system about the Updater. And fc bug is out of sight. It doesnt make by-effect.

me too : 3.2 is unstable for me, IMHO, with wifi.

maybe not for everyone, but for me, yep.

tried all the 3.2 roms,

tried factory wipe before install - no difference...
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
I would return to stock first and see if I still had problem before returning.

Of course you have to return to stock anyway before returnin.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Maybe one of the buttons is the culprit for waking the device (power/volume up/down). Just try and see if they are acting normal.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
I did a full wipe, installed no apps or anything and left it for 24 hours and it didn't wake up at all. So it's definitely a software issue, which is good. Try to figure out what it is could take some time though.
[Acer Iconia A500] hav0c:
Just flashed this rom. It's really fast. Thanks :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Crap!!!!!!!!!!!

Installed a few apps yesterday, all fresh installs, didn't restore anything from Titanium backup. Everything was great, I thought I'd fixed it. This was about 12 hours ago.

2 minutes ago the tablet woke up and hasn't gone back to sleep again :(

This is insane.

Adfree, Google Reader, ezPDF, SetCPU, Root Explorer

That is all I installed, how can any of them be causing this?

I also set up an Exchange account to my work, I wonder if this is the problem.

It lasted 1d 16h before it decided to come on and stay on this time, it's a really hard thing to troubleshoot when it goes so long without happening.

Is there a not a log I can look it to see what is keeping it awake?
[Acer Iconia A500] sandiegopaneraiguy:
Flashed like a dream after complete wipe. No issues have been found after several hours of moderate use.

Thank you...
[Acer Iconia A500] onyxogen:
Same for me. I have been running HoneyVillain 1.1 since several weeks - no problem at all.

4 Days ago I flashed HV 1.2. And suddenly I had the same problem: Screen switching on automatically during night and staying on until battery dies.

This IS a problem of the rom not the hardware.

I repeat:

This IS a Rom problem.

No logs for this kind of wakes I think...? Richard, what do you think - maybe a kernel problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] onyxogen:
Should be no problem as I'm having the same problem even without setting up an Exchange account.

I flashed Kernel 3.3 to see if it's better. I'll go down until 3.0 to check if any of does not have the on-screen bug. Sadly I have to try it out 2 days each time because the bug is not instantly reproducible.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Without a log i can't do anything about it. Never had this myself (only the flashlight acting strange once but that's about it) so maybe there is an external factor. Can you try to log things so i can debug?
[Acer Iconia A500] onyxogen:
what do you need? Logcat if it happens? Note that most of the time I realize it several hours after it has started :-/ I hope the log entry is still there then...
[Acer Iconia A500] mistahd33:
I've searched the thread for "focus" but nothing came up.. I've got an A501, anyone else have no focus ability on either camera? it doesnt autofocus and it doesnt focus when i touch the screen... running honeyvillian 1.2. everything else seems to be running as good as or better than the way the hardware runs on any other rom ive tried (which im discovering seems to be pretty woefull, i expected better.. my desire beats it by miles for everything radio related)... so my hat goes off to you the rom seems as rock solid as it can be in everything else.

[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Thank god I'm not the only one having the issue with the tablet waking up and staying on until the battery drains. I thought I was going crazy there for a while :)

It's still happening to me, not often, but it's still annoying to go to use the tablet and find it dead, when it was fully charged the last time you used it a few hours earlier.

I don't think it's the kernel because it was happening with Thor's kernel too. I think it might be something to do with Honeycomb 3.2.

Richard, what sort of logs do you need and how do I get them?

but why then it is working on Thor's Revolver Port ROM ?
[Acer Iconia A500] proxonic:
just tried Thor's kernel 3.6 and HDMI works prefect.

But Thor's kernel is not so stable as the Richard's one.

If it would be possible to fix this in Richard's kernel - would be great.
[Acer Iconia A500] zimphishmonger:
would you consider reducing the sampling rate in your kernel to something more reasonable, like 30khz instead of 200khz? That plus the HDMI fix would make this perfect again :)
