Help Did the "wake out of sleep" issues get fixed aka: screen-on?

Getting ready to go on a trip and would rather take the A500 than my gTablet, but want to make sure "third is the charm".

Hi,

doesn't happened on my EU build 1.139.04 GEN 1 ROM Iconia Tab A500. When it sleeps, it sleeps and does not wake without provocation.

maybe it is a US build 1.141.07 GEN 1 ROM that has the bug.
so far nobody on XDA Developers has mentioned this sleep/wake problem.
but... I know some A500 owners with the US build ROM have already flashed the EU build ROM.

like a suggested earlier... don't bring any tablet with you on vacation buy one from the UK.
a UK vacation US$2000 - Acer Iconia Tab A500 32GB bought from the UK

After the US update my screen on issue is fixed. It sits on my desk at work for hours and hasn't flashed even once in the past 2 days.

My Wifi also seems a biut stronger, and it gets signal at this desk where my evo, and my coworkers Iphone and a samsung captivate do not.

(now, with that being said it does drop now and then, but I am barely showing 1 bar of reception, so its expected).
