I recently (this evening) installed Clockwork Recovery and some other assorted apps, and all of a sudden I can't turn off my screen with the power button. I do have "No-Lock" installed but I did not change any settings and I don't believe it has anything to do with the functioning of the power button to turn the screen on or off. When I long press the "Phone Options" menu still does come up. Has anybody had this happen? Is there an obvious setting I am missing? Thanks to all.

Currently, I can only power on my phone via the power button, but at some point I had something installed (or tweaked some registry setting or something so that I could also press the green/phone button and that would also wake it up. All the other buttons - except power and phone - were locked out and did nothing (once I powered off). Now I can't recall how in the world I did that. Can anyone help me on this? Pleeease?

On mine, it's a setting under keylock.
Start -> Settings -> System
Yeah, I have that, too, but my options are...
Lock all buttons except Power button
Lock buttons if device is locked
Do not lock buttons
If I choose option 2, any of the HW buttons will wake it up. But I used to have it set so that only the power button OR the phone button would wake it up. The messaging, IE, camera, etc. buttons would not wake it up.
Are you saying that you have the option for just the power and phone buttons? If so, maybe it's an OS issue? I'm running WM6.1...
There is no such option for just the power and phone buttons under keylock. Just the 3 options u saw! Maybe a 3rd party app...
I guess it must have been a 3rd party app, then, or something that applies tweaks, but I've looked in AdvancedConfig and SKTools and I don't see it anywhere.
I know I did it somehow. Just hoping someone will recognize this and know how it's done.
Occasionally I get a problem where pressing the power button does not wake my phone up from standby, the lights behind the buttons flash and then turn off but the screen turns off. This normally fixes itself fairly quickly but it's still a pain in the mean time
I'm getting the same thing and it started today. Pressing the power button doesn't turn on the screen but the keypad lights comes on and after 10 sec it goes away and the screen remains black. Pressing and holding down the power button for 3 sec brings up the lock screen and all is back to normal....that is until the screen goes black again!
Anyone having the same problem?
This is happening after i installed chainfire's new 2.0 3d patch. I'm going to uninstall it and see if it persist.
I'm on stock TmoUS HD2.
I had this issue before. Check whether the below setting is enabled.
Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Today > Items
The setting "Today timeout", at the bottom left hand corner,
should not be selected/enabled.
Hi
I currently have a not rooted stock n4 and holding down the power button is not doing anything. The menu that pops up to shut down or change ringer is not showing. I held it down for a minute and nothing happens. So I can't turn off my phone. However the button works fine for sleep/wake.
I'm not sure what to do or if I should let the phone battery for?
Thank you
Hello,
I have a strange problem with my Nexus. My power button is acting strange. Long hold brings up power menu, but:
- short press does not turn screen off
- Smart cover also does not turn screen off
- double tap to status bar does not turn screen off
- 15 seconds of timeout also does not turn screen off.
What is happening? Thank you.
So your screen will not turn off at all besides powering off the device?

Thats right.
Well i don't think the power button itself is the problem since it works to power it off and on, and since the screen wont sleep by other methods either.
Did you flash a new ROM, kernel, or other mod before this happened?
If I press the power button on my G2, the screen comes on, and goes off after about 1 second. During this one second, I can unlock the screen and do anything but the screen ultimately goes off. the only way to use my phone is to turn the screen on by plugging in the charger, or by pressing power button volume down at the same time. this switches the screen on normally. Tap to sleep works perfectly but tap to wake isn't working. I've tried factory reset. I've cleaned cache partition. I'm all stock no root. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
