Has anyone had this problem my SL2 is not going to sleep mode just shutting down all the time. I tried reset and that hasnt solved the problem.
Stiletto 2 shutting down not going to sleep mode

This has happened to mine, but off and on. When I wanted it to do either, it would do the opposite. Sometimes when I think I put it to sleep, it shuts down.
It might be a bug issue. DAB?

Strange I've never experienced that. I know when I first got SL2 I found it rather hard to make it shut down using the button. But once I learned it. I just do a very quick push of the button and it will go into standby mode. If I want it to shut down, then I use my nail and hold it down for 5 sec. This works like a charm. So standby is just a quick instant push of the button. I guess its more of switch than a button since you actually slide it down.

It is only happening when I shut off the SL2 manually.....When it is docked I use the remote and it goes to sleep mode. Seems like it is the switch that is defective. Anyone think the device recovery program would work? Otherwise I will just use the dock to turn it on and off.
Normally a battery pull will solve some of these problems. But I know I have seen strange things. On one of my home docs ( converted from SL100) if my readio is off, It would randomily turn itself on. I actually figured out that power connector was loose and the rattling or bumping of the table would disconnect and connect it enough to power itself on.
A similar problem happened with my previous SL2 unit within 6 months of purchase. The switch became defective. When I held the button for 10 seconds, the SL2 would go directly to sleep (within 1 second), then come back on a few seconds later, and finally shut down, barely showing the 'shutting down...' message. Within a few weeks, the SL2 stopped waking up altogether and I had to get it replaced under the warranty.
I just hope, for you, that the same isn't happening to your unit.
All is well now......seems after 2 days of shutting down and rebooting umpteen times it has fixed itself.....it now goes to sleep mode when I manually switch it off.
