[QUOTE="michael_t, post: 928468, member: 85139"] What do you mean by this? What symtoms do you have? I did not change anything related to sleep and wakeup in the 1.2.3.5 version.When there is a user action that would lead to sleep mode (power off button, closing notebook lid, remote off button, ...) and away mode is enabled, the system does not go to sleep but keeps running (S0) and just disables display and audio.
