O2 Joggler Forum

One of my Jogglers has recently started exhibiting weird behaviour during the night - it comes in and out of sleep mode (I run the Android ICS image off USB) at completely random times, making a clicking sound as it does so.

I know I can turn off the click in the settings, but it would be nice to know what is causing this. Anybody else have any idea what this could be? Cold air? Humidity? Poltergeist? I've turned on "show touches" in the developer options to see if the screen is picking up random "touches" but given that it usually does this when I'm asleep without my glasses on, I doubt I'll even see it...

Poltergeist

I see the same with the Jogglers in the master bedroom with them sometimes turning on randomly at 3AM. Not a good WAF thing. These two are running XP and remote controlled. Another one is running XBMC and stays off though.

I do think though the capacitance screens are very sensitive and that is really a good thing, cuz my resistive screen touchscreens are not really as sensitive but have big buttons on them.

I had something similar, and asked a question on here about it a while back, as I believed that the Joggler was waking up my new home server in the dead of night.

Turns out I was mixing up cause and effect - my server was waking up on its own trying to do backups, and that in turn seemed to wake up the Joggler. I fixed it by tweaking the server backup settings.

Do you have some other gadget on the network that could be responsible, so that the Joggler waking is a syptom, rather than the root problem?

I do remember reading your post and wondered about that, but my other Joggler isn't doing it. They're both running the same ICS image.

I don't have a server as such - I run Infrant/Netgear NAS units and all of my machines use those as central storage. I don't run any specific services on the NAS units that *should* wake up anything on the network, but there could be a rogue service (Bonjour/zeroconf, perhaps?) that is doing some kind of network query to see what's around. I'm well aware that my network is probably quite chatty, as I have every device from iOS to Android to RasPi and numerous workstations running different flavours of MacOS/Windows/Linux... I'm not looking forward to when someone suggests I turn them all off! lol

FWIW the bedroom Joggler was doing its thing last night again (albeit with the sound off now) and I didn't see any "touches" on the screen - though I was about 20ft away without my glasses on!
