Comment on Deck wakes from suspend after latest SteamOS update.

Could you give more detail?
I am…assuming you are running the stock SteamOS?
I would say wake on BT activation is a good guess…
If your BT controllers are not on though… could maybe be someone else nearby trying to connect to your Steam Deck with their own BT?
Or … maybe its… something else entirely causing it to wake?

Good point, I should have added that info up front.
I’m running stock SteamOS, and it’s an early LCD model. It even happens when I’m home alone.

Hey, speaking of “early lcd models”, how is your power button holding up? Mine is getting flaky. Have to press it a couple of times, maybe tilt it a little, to get it to work.

Is that what’s happening?! I just thought it was being a pain in the ass when I would try to put it to sleep. I know my battery is fucked, an I should really open it up, replace a few things an clean it up haha.
What’s this about waking in Bluetooth though??? Been wanting that forever but I thought it was an oled only thing

One way to fix it is to probably clear and reset the bios, and reinstall steamOS, if you can’t find a solution. I would do this about every year or two anyways while they are updating because you might get little issues, and also it helps to clean up some trash like logs and extra shaders, and proton files that tend to stick around.

Omg, this is happening to me too, since a few weeks ago. I’m afraid it may stop working some day.

It seems fine, no issues.

Haha yeah, always good to list out as many possibly relevant variables as you can with a bug report =P
And I’ve been running Bazzite on my Deck for a while now, but I also just don’t use any BT thingies.
But uh ok, so… I am not aware of any significant differences in terms of hardware between the various models of Deck that … would factor in here… the OLED models basically just have a slightly different shell / internal form factor, obviously the OLED screen, and then a bigger battery.
So… given that we’ve got other reports here, of the same thing, … either all of you are getting uh BT linking attempts from neighbors…
… Or, probably, if you’re all on stock SteamOS… its probably just bugged on Steam’s end.
Meaning that unfortunately unless you want to go to the SteamOS github, identify the actual problem with the BT driver, and then fix it… yeah, I dunno lol.
Maybe there is a way to go into Desktop mode, there’s a setting to specifically disable ‘wake on BT activity’?
I don’t know.
The… whole problem with BT in general is that it is a security nightmare to try to implement on linux… to keep everything in the OS secure and also working at the same time.
Like, as best I can tell, Valve would basically have to do I think Wayland’s job for them and solve what has been a long running headache/struggle session for just linux in general… it gets insanely esoteric and complicated when you try to dive into what exactly is even going wrong, who should be responsible to fix it, and then a lot of devs just say no, its not fixable.

Thanks for the advice.
I looked around for ways to turn it off, but I might have just missed it. I appreciate the help.

Yeah, sorry I can’t be of more help, but I can infodump, lol.
