Alarm Clock

[Guest andrewg12345]

Hi, I get the alarm to work, but when the screen times out or i press the on/off button once an alarm is set, the device seem to go to sleep/suspend BUT the unit never wakes up thus the alarm does not go off, (i know what your thinking, it sounds like an expensive alarm clock) so what am i doing wrong?

i dont think its you, i have same problem, seems like it does not respond to calls to wake up the devices, i think thats the kernel.

I believe the kernel shuts down into hibernate shortly after the screen goes off. This is a massive problem and is just sloppy on Nvidia's part as processes running on a timer are pretty damn fundamental to Android. Plenty of people seem to think that their feeds/email aren't updating while the screen is off due to losing wi-fi, but I'm pretty sure the whole system is barely powered as soon as the screen goes off. Hopefully this will change when nvidia finally put out a _release_ version of their kernel/binary blobs, rather than the current alpha/beta.

For example if the Optimus X2 does this there will be a lot of unhappy people.

No so much disabled, more unimplemented, partial power collapse is a pretty complex subject. We just bought early-adopter hardware. Still when we get the kernel source we may then be able to do something about it... maybe.
