Power on with IR pine64 remote

[pfeerick]

Since the IR receiver is only wired to the IR receiver input on the A64 the only thing that could be implemented I guess is waking up from sleepmodes (standby) via an interrupt, but not from a hard power-off since for that you would have to wake up the PMIC somehow from a demodulated and decoded IR signal.... same as the standby mode on your TV for example.

Well, and clicking the remote power button (rather than holding it) leaves the PineA64 ON but puts it to sleep.  But, the remote will not wake the PineA64 either... takes a reset switch press.

That is to be expected...  It puts the pine64 to sleep, which then disables it's ability to be woken up remotely.    The physical power button behaviour *should* be different i.e. it can both put the pine64 to sleep/standby, and wake it up - just like with any Android tablet. So that would mean you could standby or power off the pine64 with the remote, but you have to use the physical button to wake up/ power on the Pine64. 

I'm currently breaking in my new generic 8000mah battery, so it will be a day or two before I can double check on an Android image.

Well that really is a very bad behavior... the PINE64 in that way can´t be used as a MediaCenter (e.g. with Kodi). I didn´t saw this thread and opened a new one...but seems it is the same issue.
if there is no possibility to "send" the PINE64 with Android running into a sleep mode and after it wakens it up using the Power Off/On button on the remote, the whole system is more or less useless.

I am using the Airmouse and I have the same issue.
64Gb lolipop lcd build
Turns off with long press, sleeps with short press, but wont wake up without reset or batt and ac disconnect/reconnect.

Everyone has this issue; which is essentially, at this point in time with the limited documentation we have currently, an unrecoverable design flaw.

Yeah sounds like someone needs to investigate what really happens there, maybe the A64 is not entering sleep state properly or the IR receiver block is not a configurted wake-up source, or it does maybe not wake-up properly... you need some experience to debug that properly...

I agree. Hopefully it can be solved somehow... until them I am using the power switch

Hi Marcus. Do you know if there is any updates on this topic?

AFAIK this is still an issue;  no one has solved it yet.
