Not sure where to post this. Discovered something in an aha moment. Was playing around with my iPad desktop using Logmein with my Apple keyboard and Apple mouse, both BT devices, connected to the iPad via the BTStack Keyboard and BTStack Mouse on a jail broke iPad. Had to walk away to tend to my dogs to let them out. By the time I got back, of course, iPad went to sleep. Out of habit, touched the mouse and moved it to wake up the screen...VIOLA, iPad awoke. Didn't know it could do that. Aha moment.
 
Yes - the same with my BT keyboard. It's actually 'dangerous' because if, like me, you leave your iPad on 'Autolock'-> 'Never' and have your iPad on battery then, if you accidentally touch a key on the BT keyboard, it will awaken the iPad - goes right to the Home screen and, hey presto, your iPad is switched on, using battery, with Autolock set to Never.....:(

I can see how that could be a real problem, but I don't put the Autolock on never unless I'm on a long session. But I'm not a mod. So not so much of a problem for me.
