It's also happening with the BEO5 after the last firmware update.

I'm not an expert, but I think the Beo6 enclosure (certainly the metal part) acts as a sensor, like a touch sensitive sensor. I think it works by measuring the static electricity or something like that. It is used I think to wake the Beo6 so it shows the screen, keyboard lights, and is ready to send commands.

If you put the Beo6 on a table and wait for it to dimm, if you then move your hand around it without touching, you have a big change it will wake up.

At leats mine does.

Yep, same for me. It's seems that sometimes it turns on to tell me something :-)

Same here : I don't understand why my Beo6 wakes up by itself at random times...

The Beo6 sometimes dosent turn off the screen, and somtimes it comes on by itself, and will not turn off again ( normaly after 30 Sec )

this will for sure drain the battery life..

Does anybody have this problem. It came after the last firmware update.
