Have a weird work around, found this forum through another forum.
Have had Toshiba Lap top for almost three years. Came with Vista, though was revamped XP model (I'm good at spotting those kind of things).
Back then, always problem going to sleep and Hibernation - in fact, I removed Hibernation from from Windows Options.
Errors would revolve around devices loading (waking) from sleep. So I quit putting the laptop to sleep, just had the display go off, left the hard drive on, plugged in, no problems.
Upgrade to Win 7, need to completely overhaul existing drivers (running on M690g chipset - x1250 ati graphics). Clean computer up - and this bad boy STILL keeps on chugging with games, video etc. I do notice sometimes devices still load slower - but what's a girl to do?
No I have the Thrive. Started Out okay, but quickly went into the sleep mode of death. Alright6 = similarities? perhaps the fact that Toshiba has provided plenty7 of extras that are outside of the Standard Honeycomb OS (is sleep mode such a deal breaker when those poor folks who bought the Xoom are still waiting for their ports to work?)
Yes - we have conflicts, but am new to Android - so don't know any hacks, etc to monitor error messages.
Tried the battery trick, also plugged in didn't really matter - it did the sleep death while powering. I had initally downloaded the update, but failed to install it. The update later showed up - and I proceeded to install.
Now, what was I doing that would cause le problem with it waking up? I noticed that either the device itself went to sleep by its lonesome (set to 5 minutes - and that was accurate), or I put it to sleep from the main screen. What ws the Thrive trying to do when I wake it up? Bring me to the Lock screen.
So, first off, I tried the wifi off technique. This didn't work always (but - wouldn't need to do hard reboot, it would just power off, then push again to power back on). I surmised that the wifi was STICKING the OS via Toshiba HW (and any apps that might be running in background dependent on wifi), causing the same erros as the windows hanging from sleep mode in Vista.
Next step - make it simpler to get to the Lock Screen - so there is not so much work to do on the system.
don't run Start Place (it hangs, and you have to kill the process).
Make sure all running Apps are off (CNBC, You Tube, etc).
Turn GPS off (and leave it off), unless you need it.
Minimize your syncing to just back ups, Only allow Local lookups.
turn wifi off, put the device into sleep mode.
After white light is blinking, wake the device up to the Lock Screen. Do Not unlock. Before the screen goes blank again (30 secs or so), put the device to sleep again.
I've had this since yesterday, and have had no waking problems since then.
Cliffs:
Turn off GPS, minimize syncing to only back up and restore, only permission for Local location.
When done with your surfing, turn wifi off (thise makes for really long battery life too, but I learned that from my Kindle).
Put device into sleep mode. When power starts to blink, wake back up to Lock Screen. Do not unlock device, just put it back into sleep mode.
Hope that helps. (just woke my device up again after 2 hours to confirm this stil works).
