iGO8 - cant go into standby mode?

Since weeks i am trying to figure out if more people have the same problem as i do but so far no result; i can't switch of my kaiser when iGO8 navngo is running. I have to exit the app to be able to put my phone into standby. If i try this when the app is running the screen starts to flash on & off, making the app unusable.
Even when i minimize the app and see the today screen, i can NOT switch the device off.
I have tried several roms ranging from 6.0 to 6.1 stock & cooked ones, and several versions of iGo, all to no avail.
Does anyone else have this issue and if not, what can i do to solve it? its quite annoying because when im on route i want to be able to switch off my device and stick it in my pocket when i leave the car..otherwise its a pretty cool program!
thanks in advance

I installed igo8 yesterday...when I found out that i couldn't run my igo 2006 maps, I uninstalled it without messing with it too much. That and I dont like to leave things like that running. Drains the battery too much for my taste.
Now, if anyone happenes to have US maps (Florida, not to put too fine of a point on it) for igo8....that would be WONDERFUL. Feel free to PM me

anyone....?

For me this works, no problem.
I minimize the app. and can lock my Kaiser and switch of the screen.
Have you tried to change the settings in IGO8 : Device settings-> power management -> use device settings ?

Ok, let me put it this way without giving out to much. Do you have the purchased copy from iGO or another source? If it's the other source (i know what you're talking about ) there's something wrong with the..uhh, let's just say with the exe.

Tried that, doesnt help.
Can you also switch off while in the app? (besides running it minimized)

The same happens to me with another navigation software that does not allow device to sleep when GPS is turned on. With previous device (HTC Trinity) everyting workied fine, but with Kaiser I am getting blinking screen and unresponsive interface when I try to switch off device in this mode. No matter is it active or minimized.
ROM: ROMeOS 4.1

Will try, however in the middle of flashing a new rom So can't really try right now.
Maybe I can give some feedback later today.

Are you also using S2U2? If so, be sure to add iGO8.exe to the exception list in the registry. This will stop S2U2 from suspending power to iGO8 when going into standby.

Its true that tomtom6 had this problem - but the version that comes on the cd doesn't. Obviously that one's optimized for the kaiser. Also tomtom7 which comes from a diamond works ok.

good news!!!
find a solution by installing new 8.0.0.49545 version
just di it

yes, i noticed the same. But it's not 100% ; the screen blinks back on before shutting down once. Not a big deal. However when minimizing igo and switching the device off, the screen goes back on and igo maxmizes automatically.
Do you experience the same thing?
But at least its much better now

hm, also sometimes it crashes after resuming from standby, and the today shortcut is gone....
doesnt seem to be very stable

Marketplace lockup

The HD7 marketplace has been a pain for me all night, kept locking up or kicking me to the front screen. Zune was also problematic.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi, yes i have the same problem, sometimes marketplace lock up and its not possible to start him and its still kicking me to the home screen. Then it helps only to turn off and on the mobile, what i will give for a task manager to close the application.

Been problem free since I got the phone on Saturday. Marketplace and Zune have been perfect.

Had this last night. Would start downloading something then hit back.
Black screen nothing happens. Hit HOME then back into Market and it just dumps me back out.
Had to power cycle to get it working again.
Seems problamatic.
Russ

yeah same issues, restart seems the only way to clear it - and agree a task manager would be pretty handy

Same issue here..... In between the app list scrolling and loading, it just locks up.. After i toggle my screen on and off to get back to the homescreen, it will refuse to load back up along with the zune app.... Very fustrating. Restart fixes it but its a real pain

Same here, It seems to lock up specially if you scroll to fast thru the lists. I have to do a restart in order to get in the market again.

The Marketplace seems to crap out when you exit out of it abruptly. Def needs a fix. Searching is also a pain.

[Q] Disable library sync?

Does anyone know how to disable the Nook library sync in the stock ROM?
It seems that every time I do something full screen, it stops and syncs with that grey box in the corner.

Update
Just an update.
If you open the library, hold down volume up and click Library, a button will appear. This will let you sync manually and it seems to delay automatic sync. It doesn't eliminate it though and it will pop up again, just later on.
If anyone knows more info on disabling it, please let me know.

That was one of the factors the led me to flash stock rom with CM10.1.
I believe someone tried to disable it but it kept coming back...
Combining this with performance and other issues with the already quite limited stock rom, I decided to rid of it permanently and go with CM10.1.

I was able to get rid of most of the BN malware as described in my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318487 but it took some doing. I tried CM 10.1 first but unfortunately for me, it kept complaining that "System UI has crashed" repeatedly when I launched it. My tablet now runs fine except the call-home messages that I see in "adb logcat".

I am using Nova Launcher, went into Library app, but wasn't able to get the button to show up.
Tried stock nook launcher, couldn't get anything to happen wheb pressing and holding vol Up and Library either...

You may not have this problem anymore and my response is quite late, but I only got my Nook hd+ few days ago. I too had this problem and I found out that freezing CloudService.apk solved the problem, but after freezing you can't click on anything in Library app.

My nook says sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly. That has said that for almost 3 weeks now. Is there anyway to fix it or get rid of it? I haven't been able to play my jigsaw puzzle game since this happened.

Help, Walkman randomly plays music on its own

A few times now, the Walkman app runs itself and starts playing out of the blue. That usually happens during the most inappropriate situations (eg: in a business meet).
The facts I noticed so far:
- The phone hasn't been used for over an hour,
- During that time, it is in my pants' pocket (never happened when on a desk or in a jacket etc. no matter for how long),
- The sound is lower than the one I set before (I don't hear the phone playing on the street or any slightly louder surroundings),
- The Walkman isn't run in the traditional sense: it only appears in and plays from Notification area, with no app's main screen active.
Now, I'm really not sure how can a program run itself when there's no scheduler of any kind, there isn't an HW key-press combination set to run it, no lockscreen shortcut, the earphones aren't connected, or anything remotely close to any of that. Before the problem occurs, Walkman is positively totally shut down via back button and even from within the task switcher.
I've recently updated the program to v8.4.A.3.1, but described problem predates that (not sure which version was before, whichever came with .205).

The only way the application runs is via:
- Lockscreencontrols
- Widget on homescreen
- Application itself when started
I dont think there are any hardware key combinations that let the application run..
Some other point:
- Bluetooth? Do you use a bluetooth headset with controls? > App can start via this aswel
- Do you use stock Sony headset (the one that came with the phone?)
~~Regards

Exactly. And none of those is the cause, checked. So what starts the Walkman (and presses the play button, too)?

No BT.
The earbuds are Philips regular in-ear (not handsfree), but no matter, they are never present when it happens.

I think I saw the exact same issue on sony talk forums. Some user advised to 1. Force stop 2. clear data and cache of an app. App name was either Smart connect or Smart key. Try and see if it helps you.

Please for the love of god, uninstall and disable Walkman and install PowerAmp. It's 1.99€ and it one of the best investments you can make in an app. Hands down best music player evah! :good:
Plus you have 15 days trail, so you can just test it for two week for free and then buy it if you like it. Tho I'm pretty sure you're gonna fall in love with it.

Walkman sometimes bugs itself out at some point in time. I suggest you clear the cache and force stop it for a day. The problem will eventually disappear but if it continues, its most likely a hardware fault

I'll try that and report back, thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully it's not a hardware flaw, that would be a truly bad luck for me with androids.

I promised to report after some time and here it is: after clearing the walkman cache, the problem didn't happen again and seems to be gone for now. Thank @leet95 and @Furrydaus for the suggestion and solution.

Frozen screen after waking up screen

At some point after upgrading to Android 9 I started having the following issue where if the screen turns off due to inactivity and I turn it back on by pressing the power button, I see whatever screen I had open before it went to sleep but it's frozen. Scrolling touching etc still perform (invisible) actions but the screen is frozen until I either press the app switch button or perform some action that would change the current application. While the screen is frozen the drawer from the top works just fine. Also when the app that gets frozen is the desktop (I'm using the default launcher), I can see the background scrolling if I swipe left or right but the widgets don't change, they are frozen.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Any ideas what could be causing it?

FWIW I have not really solved the problem but I am circumventing it by having the screen lock immediately instead of waiting 5 minutes. That way I have to unlock with a fingerprint every time the screen is off, and unlocking refreshes the screen which "fixes" the problem.

There were lot of reports of glitchy phones after the Pie update.
The cure was a factory reset or software repair with Xperia Companion
Use Xperia Transfer to back up your calls/contacts/texts before you reset the phone

Can you please link a thread, where users told, that problem is solved after reset?
I have the same frozen display (since Android Pie), when turning display off and on again.
Don´t wish to reset and install all again, if that does not help.

Ralf

Hi Ralf,
the phone will always work better with a reset after a major update, all the Oreo applications are trying to work under Pie. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Oreo apps aren't made to work under Pie and they can error.
here, is one example, or another, but I didn't jump to Pie because of all the negative feedback and the scores of people trying to downgrade.
A reset will fix your problem and if you use Xperia transfer then the amount of personal information lost will be minimal.

Thanks for the links.

This sounds to me, the combination of "old" Navi-apps with Pie is the problem. May be only with Pie on some Sonys.
I'm afraid, a reset will not change the frozen display.
All other apps till now do not freeze after display-on except MagicEarth and Osmand+
This 2 apps i deinstalled (+ deleting the data) and installed again.

Xperia transfer shows me only 2 apps for backup.
I'll probably try a reset in the next few days anyway.

Looks like there is know issue with the Osmand+, the date of the post is may last year, but it may just be a 'feature'
When backing up with Xperia transfer, make sure you select all the boxes that are optional. It's things like text messages/contacts/phone history that are useful after a reset. Some apps can't be moved and have to be downloaded directly from the playstore, but Google should give you that option, after you log back in to the wiped phone.
Edit: I can recomend Sygic, free maps for one country, works without data.

In the meantime, I found more users with this problem and a little solution that another user describes:
I can confirm I have the exact same issue since Android 9 with my Xperia xz1 compact.
I normally have no lockscreen options set. So when I wakeup the Phone, it sometimes kind of 'locks' the screen. Widgets do not respond, I cannot switch home screens. The time on the status bar remains correct. If I then click on an app and go back, everythning behaves normally.
So I'm quite sure this must be a software issue, as other people have this problem to.
My workaround for now is to have a lockscreen option aktive. But I would rather have not, for conveniance.
I tested this also with safe mode and complete factory reset of the phone. The 'bug' is still there.

If I disable lockscreen, then apps stop when it is switched on again. However, I always have to enter pin or use fingerprint sensor, or smart lock.
This often does not work when cycling and is dangerous when cardriving.
On Android 8, the lockscreen did not need to be active.
So the problem is not Osmand and MagicEarth.
It is a Sony 9 bug with Android 9.
bye,
Ralf

Found in an other forum an easy method to reproduce the problem.
disable the screen lock (it must be set to "None");
lock the phone and then unlock it;
lock and unlock it again.

Because I believe that Sony will not fix the error, I could imagine a solution:
An app (possibly tasker), which puts a selectable running app from foreground while pressing the power button in the background and immediately brings it back to the foreground.
Does anyone know such a tool?
