Andy,

That issue of timers is another thing that has been discussed more than once in this forum. if the remote is left undocked and can go to sleep. During sleep, the CPU is put to sleep and only wakes up every 50 or so seconds.

I suspect for a robust solution, you might want to use Activity.onSleep/onWake as well.

On another note: I have not done any testing to see if the network events are generated just prior to sleep or immediately after wakeup or even while unit is indeed asleep at which time wakeup is ONLY to keep network conn active.
