[Q] Power Button Issue/Phone waking up by itself - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone keeps waking up by itself and while I'm using it, it the "power options" appear. Sometime does it continually and sometimes it just works as it suppose to.
I figure I can just open it, maybe it wants to clean or whatever, but what do you guys suggest I can do other than sending it back?

Did you solve it?

Accidental button pressing

Here's a stupid problem I haven't been able to find a fix for --
When I'm talking on my phone, I find that I consistently "press" random buttons on the screen with the side of my face. I'll always somehow accidentally navigate myself into the owner info menu, or the clock and alarms menu, just from my face being against the screen.
It seems silly, I know, but it's really annoying...and I haven't come up with any easy way to keep it from happening (outside of manually navigating myself back to the today screen and locking the phone every time I make or receive a call).
Has anyone else experienced this or come up with a way to avoid it?
Thanks for your help.

Am sure there is an app that can do this - I remember reading it somewhere try a google search.
Hope this helps.

Doesnt seem to be the same, sometimes if i hold the power button, and then push windows button it will randomy work, and its still on as the keyboard lights react to button pressing....
Personally I would give it a go. If it doesn't work then you can assume that its something else, maybe a hardware failure.
What software have you loaded on recently? How much memory have you got free at the moment? If you have a load of software loaded up are they all loaded onto the device memory or the external card? Are you sure you don't have a software conflict going on?
As you can see there are many factors that could be in play here. Notification queue lockups are a biggie. If you eliminate this from the equation then you can start to eliminate the others from it too.
Hope this helps.

I've had this problem a few times, and I do only mean about 3 times since I got the phone, so I don't sweat over it.
I've had to pop the battery out each time except once, where a long-press on the power/end-call button brought the display on.
I'm guessing it's nothing to really worry about, unless of course it happens a lot.

Disabling power button long press/disabling "phone options"

I'm using an alarm clock called Morning Routine. It's great since I'm a heavy sleeper, but I have one problem with it. While the program DOES lock the screen and keep me from going home and closing the app, I can still long-press the power button, access the Phone Options menu, and turn the phone off. I'm a heavy enough of a sleeper that I figured out how to do this while still half-conscious. So, I was wondering if it is possible to develop a script to temporarily or permanently do one of the following:
1) Disable the long-press of the power button to launch the Phone Options menu.
2) Remove Power Off from the Phone Options menu (I know some ROMs add Reboot to this menu, so theoretically, couldn't something be removed?)
3) Re-map the long-press of the power button to another function (thereby disabling the Phone Options menu)
None of these will be a problem if they are permanent - I can download an app that will allow me to shutdown my phone from a widget instead of the power button.
Oh, I'm on the crappy ol' Samsung Moment
Admin, feel free to move this if necessary.
+1.
has ANYONE got a fix for this pls?!?! my daughters are driving me CRAZY turning my GTab off...
Try Button Remapper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
As for the reboot option in the power options, have a look at this then reverse the process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811532
you could just get your daughters to not turn off your device...
That's really unhelpful.
I have this issue too - on an HTC desire running DevNull ROM. (Also happens with Oxygen - tried it.) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14709327

FC while waking/sleeping phone

Hello,
I have a problem with my phone, sometimes I have FC (1 vibration followed by 3 others after a few seconds, the phone becomes laggy between these vibrations / I have no popup which tells me what the problem is) when pushing power button in order to wake or sleep the phone.
After some tests I've found that my problem only occurs when I simultaneously press power AND volume buttons (up or down, no matters, it's accidentally but occurs often due to the placement of these 2 buttons).
I'm running a rooted stock 2.3.4 on a I9020.
Does someone have the same problem?
Is there a way to solve it?
The log during a wake up with FC is attached.
Thanks for your help.
Nobody knows how to fix this?
Help please, it's very annoying!
Thanks.
Is the problem persistent?
Actually when I was on stock I really din't have any such problem but I faced something similar once I tried few other ROM's.
Is the problem still persistent??
Thanks,
Yes, I still have the problem, I try to press only the power button, but sometimes I press volume too, and sometimes I have this FC.
I haven't tried to do a reset , maybe one of my installed apps is doing this?
The log I've send in the first post isn't relevant to me, maybe someone knows how to read it??

Power Button broken - Please Help!

Dudes!
Bros!
My power button has stopped responding!
Phone has fallen a few times, so that obviously must be why.
The phone is on right now, and I've set the phone to "Always On Display" because if the screen times out, there's no way to turn the screen back on, unless I call my phone, at least, not that I know of.
I've gone into Developer Mode and turned on USB Debugging.
Now, given that this is a hardware issue, which I know nothing about, and that there are lockdown restrictions in my hood, at the moment, I'm unable to get the phone checked.
So, can you savvy power users (pun not intended) please help me with how to turn the phone on and off without a working power button?
Can I connect my phone the PC and do it like that?
Or can I enter into boot menu without using the power button? (I haven't checked out how to get into recovery mode on this device.)
Just looking for a temporary way to turn the phone on and off, and find an alternative to the power button, until I can get the power button checked.
I can't even turn the screen off so it's draining my battery like crazy!
Thanks for reading, brothers!
Hope someone can help me out!
Cheers.

Double tap on the screen does not activate the display?
There are some options in accessibility settings. Maybe there you will find a feature that can help a little bit.
