ROG Ally wake up input and bluetooth
Last weekend (28 Sep), the sleep and wake up function was working fine (there was like 2-3sec lag but I was ok with it and the input was immediate). Within this week after few bazzite system updates and steam updates, the suspend behave weirdly. After waking up the device, it takes like 20-30sec for steam to detect my input. Steam also randomly switching the xbox button icon from the green/red one to white one on the bottom right while this input bug from wake happen.
Outside of this wake up input bug, I also had issue with the bluetooth. Both steam game mode and on desktop mode, I did turned on and off the bluetooth and it did nothing. It will not display any available device even in desktop mode. When I go to the bluetooth settings in desktop mode, there are no pairing option/button or configure option/button on the top right of the setting page. Only button to toggle on/off bluetooth. Also, on my main dekstop PC, my bluetooth setting is 'restore previous settings on log in' but everytime I turn on my PC, bluetooth is always turn off even though last time the bluetooth was on when I shut down my PC.
I am thinking on reinstalling bazzite but the process of redownloading my games and setting up everything again is not fun and really demotivating for me personally.

Finally found out why this bug happened. Had a chat with Gemini AI on this bug and the AI said something about the bluetooth adapter on the Rog Ally being in a 'bad state'. One of the AI solution was to cold reboot by shutting down the device and press and hold the power button really long to discharge some of the components inside. I did that and yeah the bluetooth suddenly works after that lol. I never had this 'bad state' bluetooth issue before. After this, both the bluetooth and the controll...

ill check it out
is the input problem on the ally just in games?
if yes which
no, even on the steam homepage/menu, it takes really long to read input
touchscreen is working immediately after wake up, i can select/back by touch the on screen xbox button on bottom right
any of the rog ally button wont register even the back button
i pressed the right back button while waiting for steam to read my input to bring up the HHD but nothing happen
basically everytime after waking up the device from sleep, no input working for like estimately 20-30secs
disable extreme mode
under tdp
I never enable extreme standby mode in HHD since bazzite installed and I checked just now, its disabled
or are you talking about setting outside of HHD?
I even open HHD in desktop mode just to make sure and yes the extreme standby mode is disabled
hmmmm mine wakes up fast
the device wakes up fine, its just steam takes really long to read rog ally controller input
I went immediately to steam controller setting page after waking up the device using touchscreen, steam detected the xbox 360 controller but no input was working. steam detected it for like 6-7secs and then it shows no controller detected, during this no controller detected, the button ui change from green/red to white but still no input is working
after a while, steam detect the controller again, then input is working
post a bug report from hhd
Here is the bug report. Do you think I should reboot my rog ally and recreate the bug? It seems the bug report is really long
Looks normal
For extreme mode
For some reason in your case the controller gets recycled
When it should t
Not
Is there any suggestion on how to fix this? or do I need to wait for future updates from HHD/bazzite?
those are the worst bugs because mine works fine
can you try the steam controller?
actually, one sec
reboot, then
bug report -> use beta until restart, then, make it happen and bug rerportThis one is after reboot
This one is after the bug happen
you pressed the beta button?
Yes I already selected the 'use HHD beta until restart' under the development tools section before recreating the bug
ok, the bug is elsewhere
ill try something else
do you still troubleshooting this bug? at this point im feeling like i should just reinstall bazzite but do you think i should keep using current one?
and wait for future update
Mmm maybe you should reinstall
We could try to debug more
I just did fresh bazzite reinstall and the bug still happen. Rog ally controller input not working immediately after device wake up. Touchscreen, mouse, keyboard working fine and immediately detected after device wake up but not the rog ally controller
I guess I have to wait future updates to fix this then
@antheas thanks for taking your time to help on this bug though . i appreciate your help man
also the bluetooth still not working after reinstall. i can toggle on/off both in gamemode and desktop but still no device displayed. also the bluetooth not appear in taskbar both before and after reinstall. bluetooth is unusable at this point
bluetooth works on mine, i need to give it another go its very peculiar this happens to you
so it happens when using the xbox controller?
i dont think so. i changed to different controller emulation in HHD in desktop mode, nothing happens to bluetooth
all this bug happened since last week system and steam update. the weeks before last week it was all working fine
hey do you still want to continue debugging this because i kinda want to try install cachyos and see if the bluetooth will work. im so frustrated that bluetooth still wont work after reinstall bazzite. i hope its not the bluetooth hardware that is broken and its the software that is the problem
its probably software, if you pair in desktop it might work
drop a bug report

No controller bug after waking the device
this is called an ec reset
sometimes it works, not usually for bluetooth
