Swiftdroid's strange behaviour: waking after turning off. - GT540 Optimus General

Hi,
Since late RC versions of Swiftdroid I have observed that sometimes when I put phone to sleep (HANG UP button) it immediately wakes up, as if button was pressed twice. It doesn't happen every time and it's actually hard to predict when it would. *Maybe* it has something to do with that sometimes the phone is slow to wake up and I have to press the PICK UP button again. Maybe.
As I mentioned, I started to notice this behaviour quite recently. I'm using Swiftdroid since v2 M4 but those symptoms took my attention about RC3 or RC2.
Anyone else observed something like that?

me some times but after awhile its ok maybe you should make a clean install of the rom??

Usually I clean caches and stuff. But incidentally I'm about to make full-wipe reinstall. I'm just waiting until RC5 comes out.

Your button probably is pressed twice, because it's busted. Apparently the GT540 has some issues that show after some time. That's the reason I sent my phone to be repaired under warranty. I could be wrong, of course, but keep that in mind.

I don't rule out this possibility. Though at this moment I'm not too convinced. If the button were the problem, I'd expect it to happen in more consistent way. Here, it just happens only once in a while.

Bug
This happens to me too. It's some problem with the power button. It happened to me always.

Power button lag ? A few seconds to Resume

I started noticing a few days ago that when my phone is in stand-by, and I turn it on, pressing the power button, it takes longer than usual to wake up, like 5 seconds.
I don't remember this happening before. Last time I upgraded the ROM was back in November. I have VP3G 3.62.3, and everything was always working fine. I also use Slide2Unlock, and at first I thought this was causing the lag, because of a memory problem, maybe it was taking too much memory to be loaded, or something like that could have changed. But no even if I disable slide2unlock and use it normal, it still happens. I even re-loaded the ROM, without anything else (the lite version), but no matter what, when I turn the phone off (make it sleep), whenever I try to turn it back on, the lag is always there.
Anyone else experiencing this? Do you know of any cause or solution?
Thanks very much.
My phone does the same thing, but it's no big deal. Occassionally I'll hit the button twice thinking I didn't hit it right the first time, but it's really not a big deal.
Sounds normal, but there are some cooked roms that are quicker then others depending on addons (the TNT rom is one of them for me). If you have not already, try using 'startclean', 'hibernate' and 'cleartemp' apps daily to free up memory, cache, etc...

wake up/sleep button acting up?

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?

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.

[Q] After "Power Off", a few seconds after it shuts off, it starts back up again.

[Q] After "Power Off", a few seconds after it shuts off, it starts back up again.
I recently did a fresh install of CM 11 (M12), and I'm seeing that even if I choose to "Power Off" the phone, after a few seconds, it starts right up again.
I don't know if this is a bug in M12, or if some application is causing this.
Does anyone have an idea what could be going on and how I can fix this?
Is you power button functioning normally? That sounds like the symptom of a failed or failing power button. If you suspect a firmware or software issue, the first recommended trouble shooting step is to flash back to stock and see if the problem goes away.
The button is fine. The phone was previously running CM 10.2.1, and I was able to shut it down properly. I wiped it, installed CM 11 (M12), and started installing apps. The next time I tried to shut the phone down, it restarted a few seconds afterwards, and that's the way it's been behaving ever since.
So I'm pretty comfortable saying that this is likely a software issue, and I would think that it's far more likely to be O/S related as opposed to app related.

Do you have a backup of 10.2.1? If so, I'd try that first. Or can you resotre a nandroid on CM? I've hardly ever worked with it or other AOSP. Or reinstall 11 to see if it's just a glitch.
I can always go back or reinstall. This isn't that horrible a bug that it's worth doing that, though, as it doesn't affect normal operation.
I wanted to see if anyone was familiar with it, however, and see if there was a known workaround or nightly fix (the changelogs only show the most recent builds, as far as I can tell).

Lock screen freezes

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.

Touch to show doesn't work sometimes.

Anyone else see this? Usually works that all of a sudden I need to press the power button to turn the phone on.
I think I have found the issue.
I believe it's pocket mode and the sensor stops reading and thinks it's covered
Yeah. It happens to me every so often. See this thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/lock-screen-freezes-t3869001. It was really starting to get bad when I was on 9.0.6. Sometimes even hitting the power button wouldn't wake it immediately. I'd have to hit it a few times, which would then trigger the camera. Since I updated to 9.0.7, it hasn't happened as frequently, maybe only a couple of times. I hadn't considered it possibly being related to pocket mode since I notice it mostly when I pick up the phone off of my desk.

Yeah I take the pocket mode comment back. I only noticed it happening the device was covered but it has happened the times within two days where the device is out on my desk. I can't find a cause or pattern it's just annoying.
