This is the exact behaviour that me and some other friends of mine are
having. I'm not a kernel dev so i don't know if this idea is mad due to
a lot of things or it can be done, but, why we can't simply reset glamo
and lcd controller? I've noticed that when i boot my FR or when i reboot
it the screen is white (oh it remember me something :D) for just a
second, just before the kernel starts it's output, so may be that the
screen/glamo situation is the same, but then the kernel (i think the
kernel) do a screen/glamo initialization and the FR start (nothing
strange, it's the normal behaviour), so why can't we (you) re-initialize
the glamo/screen just after the resume?

resume -> glamo/screen reset -> a lot of stuff after resume

is this possible?
Ok, not a solution because some clock cicle are spent in this sequence
that should work, but it will at least let us use the FR as a daily
phone with a good battery life.

Bye!
