Black screen of death w/ waydroid
-
i have a problem when using waydroid and ubuntu touch on fairphone 5. im running android 13 with version 24.04-1.1 stable
a problem i come across a lot is keeping waydroid (full application open) on and then setting my phone down to do something. my ubuntu touch device goes to sleep and then when i go to try and turn the screen on, it doesnt turn on. i then try tapping the device only to hear the tapping sound of the buttons but still nothing.
right now the only way out of this is by holding the power button and the volume down button to reboot the phone. This is massively frustrating, does anyone have a solution to this? i really want my waydroid phone to be on and not have it crash my entire linux phone's screen when it goes to rest or when ubuntu itself rest.

Hello,
don't seem to be a general problem since with my config I can't repro it; after my phone goes to sleep, when I press the power button the screen lights on and I get the lock screen and after unlocking, waydroid is exactly where it was before (I tested with the android camera app)
You may need to give more specific steps for others to see the problem.

@gpatel-fr yes, you have to leave it for about 10-15 minutes for the system to idle. once its idle, it will not allow the blank screen to come back up to a login screen or anything honestly. also just stay on the waydroid home screen and either let it go black Or turn the screen off yourself for 10-15 mins. Im not sure whats causing this on my phone. the key part is to keep the waydriod homescreen as the main active app and dont switch off of it
thanks for responding

I tried to follow this way this morning: started the phone, launched Waydroid, waiting on the Waydroid home screen for 15' for the FP5 to go black, then wait 15' more and pressing the power button: the phone was back to the lock screen and after that Waydroid was operational. I have 24.04.1 stable installed over Android 13 like you.
