This very same issue happened to me too. I did a reboot and now it is working fine.
The provided Mail application was also stuck sending an e-mail (wrong configuration), but I could not close the message window at all. I had to reboot and since then everything seems to work fine.

Compared to pre-10.7 time, I hear a "click" when I press buttons or tap the screen. Actually I can confirm that nowthing is beeing changed "in the background", just the tapping sounds.
It doesn't make sence, because everytime I tap the screen and press a button in "softpoweroff mode" the CPU has to do something (playing a "click" sound) and probably gets out of it's powersaving cycles.
It's worse than that for me. With the new release, when in 'softpoweroff' mode, the clicks represent something actually happening. If I softpoweroff [I added it to the menu], and then tap randomly on the screen, and then resume normal mode, I find applications open that were not open when I powered off. With this release, it almost looks like the default 'lock screen and keys' is now a better alternative to 'softpoweroff'. [and they did say something about 'fixing' activating touch screen and keys lock...]

Yes a reboot solves the problem, but it happens constantly now which causes me to shut down completety. Before I hardly ever had to shut my N800.

one thing I have noticed with using Lock Screen and Keys is that the Auto-Away setting in the Presence Settings is now ignored. i.e. if I have it set to 10 minutes and lock my n800 then the presence setting is never changed to "Away". Just letting the screen dim allows my status to go to "Away".

I am pretty sure that locking it before still allowed the auto-away setting to work.

This is probably due to the better power saving mode that has been added?

Anything in dmesg which might shed some light on the problem?

Perhaps a reflash of the latest firmware is in order. If that doesn't help, you should probably file a bug in Bugzilla and revert to 2.2006.51-6.

I hate to say it, but the QA/QC on Nokia firmware is not impressive and this latest firmware appears to be maintaining the reputation.

Closed or open Betas would really catch a lot of these minor and not so minor annoyances, and would go a long way to improving the final builds, possibly even freeing up Nokia resources to get on with other matters.

I'd help out if Nokia made these Betas available (and I don't mean the sort of Beta we had with the first OS 2006 release, which was a waste of time - no feedback made it's way into the final build). Heck, I'd even sign an NDA. However Nokia would need to pay attention to Bugzilla, even creating a seperate Beta-specific Bugzilla, and it's this procedural overhead that is most likely the biggest issue for Nokia.

I would have to whole heartedly agree with the above after reading all the posts in this thread. I'm sorry, but it sounds like the new OS needs to be returned to sender. I do have a few annoying bugs with my n800, but I'm beginning to conclude that 'if it's not too broke, don't try to fix it'.

This is a huge improvement over the earlier version. I would never go back.
