On Eclair and Froyo FRF50 my phone wouldn't wake up until I gave 3 tries, and google said it was a hardware issue with HTC. Today when I updated to FRF72 the problem is gone. I'm so happy! I was about to settle for a replacement.
Lucky you! First I thought the same and then it came back.....i don't have it very often and normally I don't need more than 2-3 attempts.

Yeah I used to get attempts, now none! But my lights flash first and then the screen turns on.
me too!
I always suspected this was a software issue based on the fact that the lock button always worked perfectly when the n1 was on and unlocked.it just took a few tries to unlock and it was basically impossible to lock it again straight from the lock screen while just checking the time or seeing what a notification was.i haven't seen it happen at all since installing FRF72 though so much nicer now ......
fixed it for me too... Used to sometimes take me a few tries to turn it on. Now its flawless. I also am happy. I knew it wasnt hardware cause it would turn off everytime, just wouldnt turn on all the time.
Glitchy button (bad/incorrect/missing RC chain for glitch-free operation), and a workaround for it in SW (canceling press registrations for X time from initial press), I guess... Technically it's possible.
+1
Fixed this issue for me too!
I'm glad to hear it. I also get this from time to time, but i'm still on FRF50. I'm waiting for the final one.
This started happening only after i put FRF50 on my Nexus. 2.1 had no such issue with the power button.

Same here. First I thought it was fixed but after a little while, absolutely not. I need that same 1-3 attempts, depending.
i thought it was fixed too, but today i had too press it multiple times again.

I'm not sure what to think. I did notice a great improvement in the responsiveness of the power button after I upgraded to FRF72, but after a day or two I began having problems again. This morning the switch became all but unusable -- I have to press it with my fingernail in exactly the right spot to get it to work at all -- and I've requested a replacement from HTC, so there is definitely a hardware component involved, but it's indisputable that the problems I was having before I upgraded disappeared for 24-48 hours after the upgrade. Very strange.
Also I couldn't make the phone go to sleep when I was on the lock-screen, it just shuttered. So for instance if I wanted to check the time I would have to press the wake button like 3 times, then check it, then unlock it and press the sleep button.

So, I've noticed that after the update the sleep/wake button has been acting up. I've found that sometimes you need to press it twice in order for it to register. Also then, sometimes after it would wake then fall back asleep within seconds of pressing the button. Anybody else experiencing this?
ztm
Yes! I might be able to second this. Thought I was imagining it.
Not yet able to reproduce it on demand.
I can recreate this and it's driving me nuts. But it wasn't due to the update. It's been happening for a few weeks now.
The power button to wake up the phone has been glitchy since the beginning for me. And the fact that the power button doesn't have good feedback when pressed, gives it some ambiguity whether you really pressed it.
I too am suddenly experiencing problems with the power key, everything works normally except now it no longer responds to a quick push to put it into standby. Long push still works. It was working fine after the update, it just happened suddenly.
You can use Keyguard Disabler, and it will allow you to wake the phone from virtually any "hardware" button.
One other issue is that it disables the lock screen completely, which some people feel is not a solution.
Maybe if you emailed the developer you could request that it not disable the lock screen yet still wake the phone from any hardware button, which I think is what we all want.
Anyway, I have to give it a thumbs up as a temporary, albeit not perfect and very unsecure, solution.
I don't have your problem, but as a former iphone user, I'm used to the home button to wake up the phone.
I'm having all kinds of problems since the update. This is one of them.
I agree with you.. for some reason. My battery drains like a mothafuga now. Today for exampe.
, I went to work at ten. Went to break two hours later and the battery was at 82% from 98%.. just sitting there idling.. why??
I also experienced this and also sometimes it wont wake up at all. It registers no input. I have to pull the battery and restart the phone.
I'm getting this, discussed it briefly elsewhere in this forum..
It's got gradually worse over the last few days for me. If you're still in your 14 days I'd ring now to get a replacement. I'm going to have to send mine off and be without it for a week.. Harsh.
Looks like it might be a fairly widespread hardware issue.
^Let us know how the fix goes. I'm not having an issue with it...yet! It's amazing HTC only made 2 hardware buttons and still couldn't have better than 50% success rate
its weird now... the button is acting fine.. dont send it in...... give it a couple days because mine did it a whole ton and then its gone. if you're really partial to your nexi, i'd just keep it... things will probably shape up
How odd, I've kind of discovered if I hold down the left hand side of the power button quite hard with my nail and rock it accross it works OK. Will wait it out like you said and see.
Sleep Button Un Responsive
Im also have the same problems where my Power Button is starting to not respong. I have to pres it like 5 to 10 times before it actually wake up or does anything. Even wile the phone is off like if I pull out the battery. When I put the battery back in, I have to press the button like 7 times before the phone responds and power up the phone.
Any suggestions or solutions?
Will HTC fix this problem for free with an unlocked bootloader?
nope unfortunately i learned that the hard way... $55

Most of you know this but maybe it helps some.
You have to manage it a bit. Turn Bluetooth/Wifi/3G/GPS/AutoSync off when not needed..
Speaking of which.. does anyone know of a smart App that lets you toggle between programmable profiles for the above list of settings?
Also discharge/recharge the battery completely every once in a while. Makes sense to have an extra USB cable @ work as well.
is it normal that my touchscreen goes nuts sometimes? I find that sometimes (usually at night or first thing in the morning) my touchscreen on my n1 is inaccurate. I'll touch in the middle of the screen and it will click on something on the bottom of the screen. if I reboot my phone, the phone works great again.
yes its normal, its been posted here that even stock rom will get that problem now and then. Although mine has been random, not at a certain time.
Google is working on a software fix for it, and cyanogen 5053 (for my experience) has cut that problem to a minimum. I think ive experienced that problem 2 times since flashing. So a span of 3 weeks it happend twice. So i say its been pretty good.
And you dont need to reboot, just turn off the screen and turn it back on. Last i had a problem, i did that and it worked.
So as soon google fixes it im sure this board will be flooded with threads about it. And the devs are fast enough to implement it to their ROMS!
Are you holding it differently at those times? You mentioned at night or in the morning. Are you still in bed? I find I sometimes grip the phone is a way that my hand touches the edges of the screen. That throws off the touches and I've noticed it jumping down to a different icon at times. Just make sure your hand doesn't wrap around to the front of the screen.
My nexus one touchscreen will go nuts at times too. Locking the phone and unlocking does fix it though. I'm also 100% positive it has nothing to do with erroneous input from the way I'm holding it.
ya I was making sure that I wasn't holding it weird. hopefully Google makes a fix : )
p.s. thanks for the tip on turning off the screen rather than rebooting the device.
mine does this too but it seems that if I just put it to sleep and wipe it off it's back to normal

Mine too does this w/ cyanogen 5053. sometimes it's so bad that i cannot even unlock the phone. I never noticed it this bad before on stock... but then again i only used stock for about two weeks before i rooted it.

I'm on a non modded phone and I get it every once in a while. Hit the power button and all is well.
Anyone else having this problem,
Sometimes when I get to unlock screen and swipe across it doesnt react to it the first time and I have to do it again.
Yes. Many, many times. I resolved this by downloading an app that gets rid of the bar from me, so now I press home. Unfortunately this means I have no security on my phone. Yay!
Yea; I mean how much of a problem is it though? I guess it takes a second sometomes to initialize the scanner.
Rooted/ROM Captivate (For Sale)
Rooted Atrix
I am not talking about the finger printer reader, also at work I have about 1 second to check phone, so it just gets annoying when I spend that one second trying to get passed the lock screen
Oh! Yea that happens to me sometimes as well; I hate it.
It also "confuses" me when I slide it but there's nothing really being slid you know? Just the color.

Never had a problem with slide to unlock.
The finger scanner though, you have to remember at what angle and what direction you scanned in. Finding a comfortable swipe is better than trying to get a correct register. It's kind of like practicing golf swings.
I didn't have this issue till I did a factory reset, now the lock screen is soo slow.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Was going to say same thing. I did my 1.5.7 update a little bit ago and really having seconds from when I hit the power button until my screen wakes up. I can actually hit the button and scan my finger before it comes on. Anyone else having this type of slowdown?
Sorry for bringing up a old thread but kinda based on what I am dealing with.
My Atrix keeps waking itself up after putting it to sleep and STAYING on...
It is killing the battery life. This has only happened since the update...
Solutions?
I had that once before on my old build. Not sure what did it but it did end up stopping after a little bit myself. I think it was an app that was doing it

I would check to see if any apps are causing your phone to wake up; I remember this happening on my Captivate last year. I don't remember what the problem was but I knew it stopped after a week or so.
Something I have noticed with 1.5.7 the supposed fix to allow the phone to sleep while charging was a sinple change in the setting under development. I also have noticed when you place the phone on the charger if the lock screen is up and you are using the fingerprint scanner. you can never ( or should I say rarely) get it to stay asleep as it keeps reading the button press as a finger swipe. The only solution I have found is to make the the phone is on the home screen and press the button to make it sleep. then it stays asleep
I have had things like this happen to me, for a while I was using GingerBlur and I thought thats why the phone was glitching but when I went back to stock I had it glitch like this a few times on me also... I almost feel like my Atrix is running a beta...
I have not had any issues with the slider itself but i have observed this for a few days now. When i slide to unlock the screen, it goes directly to the contacts page and just freezes for a while. no other buttons work except hitting the home button and then ot works as usual. Any pointers? i recently rooted my phone and flashed it with the Alien rom [build #4 - 2.6.32.9]
Has anyone else had "wake lag" on their Atrixes?
What I mean is where the device is sleeping, screen off, in your pocket for a while, etc. Press the power button, count to 3 or 5 or so, then the screen comes on.
It doesn't seem to happen all the time, but when it does it's really annoying.
i jsut noticed that on mine too. its getting really annyoing.
I just noticed this after reading this post... haha now its annoying me! lol mine takes about 2.5 seconds once in a while. Not a deal breaker though
I do see it occassionally.

Some reports attribute this issue to the fingerprint scanner. Do you have this enabled?

I had that until I installed "Launcher Pro" and now I don't have that problem anymore...
i got this annoying lag in incoming calls. the phone ringing but the screen still black
Maybe it has to do something with the update we got. I don't remember it having wake up lag when I had first gotten it.

I don't either, but I don't remember it when I first updated to 1.57 either. Maybe it has something to do with uptime? I haven't rebooted in 5-6 days. Coming from Windows Mobile, I am happy to have a phone that doesn't get "stuck" and need to be rebooted every day but....
I don't know what lag you guys are talking about.. ? I get zero lag whatsoever.
Well i'm noticing it now. The longer the phone is in standby, the longer the sleep time is (up to about 5 seconds)

Yes, that is exactly what I am talking about.
My phone has been in my pocket for almost 2 hours. I pulled it out, pressed the power button, and it took ~2 seconds to get to the lockscreen.
pushed the button again to turn the screen off, pushed it again to turn it back on, it took ~1 second.
I swear when I got home yesterday from work and turned it on it took like 5 seconds.
On a related note, it used to seem take longer to come out of standby when I was using SetCPU and forced it to 200 MHz when the screen was off. I don't use SetCPU anymore, but maybe it's related to CPU scaling. If the phone is in "deep sleep" and the CPU clocks down to its lowest frequency maybe it takes longer to wake up.
yeah i noticed it when i needed to reply to a text that a pressed it didnt come up so i pressed it again nothing and gain then it did. i thought it was my power button. but after a reboot it was doing the same so i figured it was the update we got.
I have this lag, new thing, happened today for the first time. Nothing to do with the update, since I'm on Bell's Atrix (no update yet). I even took off the battery once, as it was not waking up after a good 20 secs...
Sent from my Atrix
It has gotten worse for me as the day has gone on.
I think this phone's going back before my 30 days are up. This is just another little thing in a long list of little things that are bugging me. I want to like the phone, I really do, but it's just not doing it for me I guess.
i installed the update for AT&T users and i got to say that there is no wake up lag for me anymore.
just my 2 cents

Nop no lag
never mind the lag is still here.
I completely drained my phone so it shut itself off. When I restarted it after it had charged for a while it seemed a lot snappier. Maybe the phone just isn't made to handle 96 hours of uptime.
Kind of like older Windows PC's lol.
i just factory reseted my phone. lag still there. or maybe becuase its downloading apps. ill see how it goes.
Hello XDA,
This is my very first community post so please don't judge if I do something wrong here
Let's cut to the chase. I am a happy owner of the OP6T 8/256gb phone and I am super happy with the device, however, I have been having an awkward issue. From time to time, couple of times a day, my phone would not recognize neither double tap nor the power button to wake the display up. Usually out of frustration I press the power button couple of more time, but nothing happens. Then after 3-4 seconds the display wakes up and even opens the camera (because I pressed the button couple of times, but not in a fast way...). Afterwards, the phone works without an issue until same thing happens hours later.
So my question is if anyone is experiencing anything similar and found the culprit of it?
If you need any additional info on my settings, please let me know!
It is not the worst thing that could be happening with a new phone, but you know, one expects the brand new phone to work 100% of the time
Looking forward to your replies and ideas!
Many thanks,
Donatas
It's happened to me only recently. I'm rooted with magisk 17.3 running a few modules such as dual speaker, Google dialer framework and viper. I was on stock kernel, but switched to Smurf kernel without any hiccups so far.
Well I am full stock, even with stock launcher... That's why it bothers me that it is happening:/ thanks for your reply

Yes this has happened to me, glad to see I'm not alone.
It happeneds randomly, like few times a day, not too frequent to render the device unusable, but enough to be irritating - especially when it's a brand new device.
My setup;
*Rooted
*Magisk (viper & YouTube vanced module)
*Stock kernel
I'm at a loss as to what's the cause of this issue, it's very weird, it could just be an oxygen os bug that will be resolved by OnePlus. Who knows. Hopefully if more people comment about this here - we will eventually get to the bottom of it.
So far on 9.0.6 build the issue appears to have been fixed, I have not had any random temporary lock screen freeze.
Can anyone else confirm this?

Glad to hear it is fixed for you!
Unfortunately, since the update, I already experienced it 4 times...
Even more so, sometimes now the phone would randomly stop playing music from Soundcloud (I dont know about other apps, i predominantly use Soundcloud).
I love the phone but it is a little shame that some of these features are failing
Hope 1+ will fix this and we all be happy!
Yeah, sometimes my device doesn't respond to double-tap. Usually I just have to double-tap again and it wakes up. I haven't noticed the issue with the power button, but I rarely use that to wake the device. I did have a situation recently where the device wouldn't wake from a screen tap no matter how many times I tried. I can't recall if using the power button woke it or if I had to force a reboot. But that's only happened that one time.
I just updated to 9.0.6 a day ago. I don't think I've experienced any non-wake issues since then. Really haven't been paying that close attention, I guess.
I believe I am having this issue. I just flashed 9.0.7 from TMO and I'm rooted with magisk v4a and vanced. I get random freezes where I can't tap anything on my screen. I have to turn it off and on with the power button.
I experience this as well. I thought it was just an isolated thing, and it's kinda annoying...
It's very irritating. I'm trying to pin point it and so far I notice it with Firefox and Spotify transitions.
