Every now and then when I turn the screen off, the lock screen will turn on but then the screen turns back on 1 second later.
Anyone else having this issue

Yeah, it happens at least once a day it seems. Couldn't say why though...
what rom are you both using??????
I get that sometimes if I have accidently pressed the volume rocker whilst doing so, not sure if this is the cause of this for you but is for me!

is anyone having issues with waking up this phone? Randomly to get the screen back on I will have to press the power button about four times for the screen to come back on. its really starting to bug

press harder. I learned quickly that it takes a firm push and you have to hit the button w/o your fingers getting caught up on the sides of the phone.
it's either that or you got a bad button
I have the same issue, this along with the lag I get at times when I attempt to use the camera has me seriously considering returning this phone. The Inspired I returned had non of these issues just a tinny speaker.

Mine wouldnt go to sleep today when pushing the button. Seems to be a few bugs with this phone eh?
I'm starting to look at re-mapping the keyword to allow the volume keys to wake it up, and then use the fingerprint reader to unlock it. That power button seems to fragile to me. To turn the screen off I just use Extended Controls.
Any thoughts?
Widget locker has an option to use the vol buttons for wake
I kinda have the same problem but its when i press the lock button the screen shuts off but then comes right back on. I press it again, it shuts off, then comes right back on.
I had the same problem - power button wouldn't wake phone from sleep.
I had to do a battery pull to resolve the issue.
I'm using the lastest FW.
Motorola phones (Not just Atrix, but Droid X also) have some funky business that sometimes prevents/delays the screen from turning on, even if the button press is registered. This happens with the power button and also the volume buttons if they're used to wake the device (Like with WidgetLocker). I haven't been able to narrow it down, but I suspect it's related to (ab)use of PowerManager's preventScreenOn()

It sounds logic to me, because even editing the right keyboard file to add a wake_dropped to the volume down, it won't turn on the screen. I hate when they change things the way they do with this, the bootloader, etc.
In the last couple of weeks, when the pattern lock screen is displayed, it intermittently doesn't accept touch input. If I power off and on the screen quickly, it then accepts touch input fine.
Similarly, if I press and hold the power button (with the phone on), it brings up a "Phone Options" screen, with options for Silent, Airplane, Profile, Reboot and Power Off. Touch input does not work at all on this screen. I'm working around this by using the Quick Boot app.
Otherwise, touch input works fine, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.
I've seen something similar when Google Nav gets in front of the lock screen. Touch doesn't work until I power off and on the screen, and enter the lock pattern. Could something invisible be getting in front of the lock and power screens?

Hey there,
Maybe the ROM h doesnt function properly on your device. Try shifting to another rom. All are equally amazing. If you do not want to shift, try running task29 and start the process all over again

Have you read the thread about the unresponsive touchscreen, where pressing hard on the end call button fixes the screen touch? I assume your problem is in essence the same; once you press it hard enough to actually unlock the screen the touch works fine.

That probably is what the problem is. Btw to everyone, I haven't noticed a difference in pressing it really hard, I noticed that pressing it a lot of times does the trick

Thanks for the feedback. I don't think it's the ROM, been using GBX-v12 since it was released, and previous versions before that.
The symptoms do seem similar to the other thread, but others report it on many screens. I only get it on the lock and reset/power screen. Otherwise, it works fine. However, those screen are brought up after pressing the power key ...
I suppose if it is hardware, then it's likely that cable issue. If it's software, then a reset should clear it, so I might try an ICS ROM from scratch first.

I guess i shoulda commented that how my digitizer began acting, it only did it while in the power menu but after a couple days it started doing it while just hitting the power button to put it to sleep, so i remapped my green phone key to be the power button

Thanks for the tip. You're right about the symptoms getting worse, it now occasionally stops working on other screen
I'm using any button but power to turn on the phone. To turn it off I've added "Go to sleep" to the notification widget bar, which I assume is the same as pressing power??
Not quite as user friendly and sometimes I forget not to use power off, but it'll do for now!

Yes that will work! I used it cause I got lazy and didn't feel like changing the key file but it's much easier to use the green call key instead of the notification power widget

Try this:
Lock the screen normally, screen turns off.
To turn it on again by pressing any other screen buttons other than the power button.
I found that if I do it this way, the screen runs normal.
I have had this phone for over a year and the power button is getting harder to activate. I also have a nook color, when I plug the nook up it powers on. Is there a way to have something similar on the mt4g? Power on through USB or charge. Thanks.

I dunno if it can with ADB. But what if you hold the volume down and power button to get into bootloader. How is you power button failing, can you get me a picture?
Could it be that your flex cable is getting worn out or just not actuating the power properly (ie. like with a microswitch, eventually the "springiness" of the switch won't properly let the microswitch activate) If you don't get what I mean, like the inside housing of this microswitch; http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/Microswitch.jpg
Based on this post it seems the mobo flex cable is what depressed an internal switch to turn the device/screen on and off. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591388
The last part of your post though, do you mean that you turn off the phone every night and turn it back on the next morning? Does this only happen when the phone is off and it acts normally when turning the screen on and off?
Well problem solved. I flashed the cwm touch 8.5 I think. Anyways it boots up into recovery when plugged in. I can live with that. I will miss 4xt. Thanks again guys n gals.

Forgive me if this sounds ignorant, but is this a common HTC issue? I own a Glacier and an HD7, and I've seen power button issues for both of them.
Well the issue was pressing the power button would do nothing 95% of the time and 5% would turn the device on. So, problem solved with the cwm touch recovery, except it boots in to recovery mode and is touch sensitive. That's good enough for me though. I just need to be careful when turning the device on.

i have the same issue with my phone...power button is completely broken..,
but i managed to map the search key (hardly use this button) with the power button using the button remapper found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464)
For reboot, i just connect it to any power outlet and it turns on into CWM touch recovery...
i can live with it until the next nexus..

If you feel comfortable opening up the bevel of the phone, you may want to check and see if the pieces of the power switch are still seated properly. I had a similar issue (which I wrote about here) that was entirely due to the pieces of the switch going off-center, making the button less responsive over time and eventually completely useless. The symptom was that the power button seemed to have less and less actuation to it.

My experience with it is at the bottom.
Hi, the problem is this.. I am using Note, then I press power button to turn it off, and it immediately turns on... And pattern lock is not activated...
It is not happening all the time, but 2 or 3 times per day...
Driving me crazy...
Have you got some ideas??
Thanks...
Power button is a known weak point. Test to see if you can make it happen by pressing it in a particular way.
