My power-button don't work, so I was wondering if anyone could help me to fix this. Maybye someone have a power-button i can buy, or there's a software fix I could use, like i open a program and press lock screen and something like that, because i can't lock the screen and tha makes my battery time very bad.

First I noticed that my Lock button doesn't work anymore. When I press it, nothing happens. I thought it's a bug or something so I flashed different Roms but the problem still exists...
it is not a hardware problem, because i can hard reset my device normally.
When the phone goes to stand-by mode, it stays off for one second and then it turns the screen and backlight back on. That runs my battery out quite quickly.
I have searched forum for this problem, but did not find any answer.
Is there a solution for this??
the same problem here!!!
have someone an idea?!
I've had the same problem with my Omnia i8000.
But my Phone will come back on only if I am listening to Music.
Does this happen to you while listening to Music ? If Yes, then just turn the volume one step down. Thats a workaround I've found for my phone.
has anybody fixed this issue on their omnia pro yet?
i am facing the same issue, the screen is always on as the lock key doesnt do anything....the only time the screen shuts off is when using the touch music player after 60 sec.(backlight setting when phone not on external power)......screen turns on when the song ends.....hard reset to factory settings doesnt fix the issue......plz help if u hv a solution figured out....thnx

Amazing... You are my lifesaver...I have been facing this problem since last one month.
Your idea worked for me but can you tell why this problem occurs? and this is a temporary solution...Is there any permanent solution to this problem?
Greetings to all. I had this problem for a while. I solved it with 2 programs - the first is AEButton and the second Smart Lock. I mapped the W&L button to "lock device"(AEButton). After that going to SmartLock ticked: Lock screen and then stand-by. In this way I used the W&L buttons as lock key. Worked for me, hope it works for you!
P.S. I am using custom rom without the touchwiz interface, I dont know if that makes any difference!
EDIT: It fixes the issue partly...the screen pops out every 20 seconds or so.... Seems to me it is a hardware problem. Flashing with different ROMs doesn`t seem to work.

ya i now, but i have pattern thats why i'm asking about solution.
If anybody knows please give a feedback
Thanks.
If i remember correct there is an option somewhere in settings which says - 'volume key wakes screen' - check if thats enabled
no it isn't that, it unlocks it self with no phone touching.
today it happened in my pocket with no reason, with now app activated, by it self totally, and i called some person by misstake
Stupid bug
Strange haven't heard of any such bug yet but it'd be worth trying re flashing the rom from ground up

That's the last thing i won to do, but if there aren't going to be any ideas then i'll do it.
For now i will wait and see.
Thanks for replay

Hi! I have another very old Android phone (still with 2.2) and I have the same problem as you. I have a pattern + an app called Hidden Lock. There is a free Lite version and a paid Pro version of the app. Either of them will do the job.
The app creates for you additional lock screen. In this lock screen you have created an invisible button in a position that you only know. When you touch a button (hardware key, touch, volume rocker) or your screen unlocks, the program starts and displays "Hidden lock" message. Then you have to literally find the place on the screen where you have put your unlocking button and press it TWICE.
After that you can go to the draw pattern (android lock screen) and unlock it. This is double security for your phone - that's what I need, personally - I can't feel calm If I don't have such locker - my hardware lock key doesn't work and sometimes for now reason my phone unlocks... This is the only app that helps me.
I hope my post was helpful. Cheers!
Mine do that too, i've solved it fliping it when i carry it in my pocket, i think the touch is very sensitive and it activates when i'm walking, it sounds weird but this is the only thing that worked for me

I do the same thing, but i was just wondering if somone had the same problem and fix it in side the system not by additional lock security or by fliping it.
But thanks for your replay, i'll just hope someone from Dev people will find answer to that.
Hi everyone, first thanks to all the people who are willing to help others with their S4 problems!
I have Telus version of Galaxy S4 and it is basically untouched (i.e. no root no modifications).
I have had a problem with the lock screen for past couple of days and tried searching the forum but could not find any solutions.
The problem is this:
In lockscreen, I cannot swipe to unlock the device from time to time. No matter what I do, pressing power button to get to lock screen again, it just won't respond to my swipe motion to unlock the device. This forces me to hold the power button and then click on restart. For some reason it will responds to me clicking on restart but cannot read my swipe motions.
Does anyone else have any similar problems? If so, any thoughts on the solution?
The annoying thing is I cannot replicate the problem but it will happen once or twice a day.
Any thoughts are appreciated!

i have the exact same issue on my rogers S4 it doesnt make any sense. I randomly cant swipe to unlock my phone but i am able to swipe between lock screen widgets and just like you i have to restart which also responds.
On some rare occasion, when I turn on my phone the touch screen works and it let me unlock the phone but every time I get into the home screen the touch screen stops working. When I press the home screen the home button the touch screen works again. Then I turn the phone off and on again same thing happen. Restart and it works back normally. Is this a software issue with kitkat or is this a hardware problem? I am on stock rom. I hope someone know the answer to this weirdness or maybe I don't know something. Thanks.

i get the same thing once in awhile. ever since KitKat. and i'm on a custom ROM to me its almost as if the phone is in some kind of wait state and i have to "kick" it to get it going. I've seen other in my ROM's forum talk of it. so now i know its not just our custom ROM, sounds like a KitKat thing..
Thanks. "Wait state" reminds me of finite state machine. Glad this isn't a hardware issue.

OKEEEEEEY i removed that fancy analog clock, and everything working. WHY? Or something else?
That might mean that the clock widget is badly programmed and steals the touch focus from the unlock. That might be worth some experiments.
flashed to latest KITKAT, sometimes ok, but still got the problem. With swipe cant unlock. But if i give the main screen to the eink its working. Any advice ?
