That appears to be a Sugar design feature. > So, in order for powerd to kick in the activity has to be closed and > therefore it will remove the file. powerd will not idle suspend while that file and the matching process is present on the system. If either are not present, powerd may idle suspend subject to other data. > Or do I oversee something why we can not rely on my assumption? I don't understand this question, sorry.
