Anything in particular that I can look at? I'm not seeing any issues when I test this, which could of course mean that I'm just getting lucky. One thing that irritated me is that I think this used to work. I do recall testing suspend/resume a few years ago and devices would get properly runtime suspended/resumed. I did some digging but couldn't find anything that would have had an impact on this. Given that this is completely opt-in feature, why are you categorically NAK'ing this? Is there some other alternative that I can look into? Thierry
