Hi,
Not sure if anyone has experienced the same problem. Sometimes whilst typing away on my V1605's (HTC640) keyboard the screen's backlight would suddenly turn off but will come back on when I press any key. The time between a key been pressed and the backlight going off is very short, less than a couple of second so can't be power saving mode kicking in.
So far I have only experienced this a few times but it's annoying and does make me think whether there is a problem with my unit. Will Vodafone UK inspect or even replace my unit bacause of this. Because if happens so rarely I can't even walk into a shop to show them the problem.
TIA.
Dave.
Yeh I have the same thing on my M3100. Probably some kind of hardware/software delay, given how slow my M3100 can be at times.
I also had this strange behaviour, in order to solve that I simply disabled the keyboard sensor. Now I have the backlight of the keyboard all the time which is far from being an issue for me.
I disabled the keyboard sensor from day one so that the backlight is on all the time. I'll try enabling it to see if it fixes the problem.
Hi everyone,
How many of you experienced the following issue
1. intermittently you are unable to wakeup the phone from standby while pressing power button.
2. sometimes no responding while tapping any place on the screen.
I hope is not just me. I have tried 2 unit, 1st unit replaced with another new one, and yet i'm still experienced the issue.
So is hardware or wm6.5 issue anyone got any commend?
Cheers,
Narutu

Hi. I'm having an issue with my Verizon S5 where the screen turns on randomly, sometimes a few times a minute, for no apparent reason. Researching the issue, I found a lot of people said the reason they found was that the charge port was bent slightly and after bending it back it fixed the issue. They noticed the screen would behave when it was plugged in because all the connections were forced into their proper places by the charger. However, mine turns on and off regardless of whether or not it is plugged in. I downloaded Wakelock Detector to try to see if there were any apps forcing my screen to wake up but it only listed a couple apps and processes and, combined, they didn't come anywhere near the number of times my screen was woken up. Interestingly, the same day I noticed this problem, my home button also stopped working. It will not turn on the screen when off and it will not bring me to the home screen when the screen is on. I thought maybe it was occasionally functioning, causing my screen to turn on. However, I have never experienced the opposite issue; I have never been using my phone with the screen on and had it suddenly bring me to the home screen. Also, oddly my screen does not have this issue when I am playing music either through the speaker or via bluetooth. If I have music playing, the screen never turns on randomly. If I pause my music, the issue returns and my screen turns on randomly unless I resume my music.
The fact that it doesn't do it while playing music (either over bluetooth or through the speaker) means it must be a software issue rather than a hardware issue. The fact that my home button stopped working at the same time seems to make it seem like a hardware issue but maybe my home button not functioning and my screen turning on and off randomly are both part of the same software issue? I have attached a screenshot of my current version of Android and other details.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Generally, I'd recommend a factory reset just to make sure whether it is or not a software issue.
If the issue is not solved, return the phone.

Solution Found
I was able to fix the problem so I thought I might as well share. I replaced the circuit board that goes under the home button (cost about 10 bucks lol). This is not the home button and cable itself. If you disassemble the S5 to the point where you can see the motherboard, the circuit board at the bottom with the charge port, capacitive buttons, and home button contact is the one I replaced. Hope this helps others with similar issues get working in the right direction. Be very careful disassembling your S5 if you decide to try this route.
Hello all,
I've been using ZUK Z1 for just about a week now and everything was fine until a couple of days ago when I could not unlock the phone after a call - the power button and the home button turned the screen on for a split of a second and then the screen went off again without reacting to any taps. I had to restart the phone by pressing the power button + the volume down button. I tried to reproduce the issue, but did not succeed.
Yesterday, I had the same issue twice and then I finally got it how to reproduce the problem The main condition seems to be ending the call when the screen is off. That can be achieved by holding the phone close to your ear when the call it ended by the other party or ending the call by pressing the power button (you need to turn on that setting beforehand) again while holding the phone close to your ear.
Another guy on another forum wrote that had experienced the same issue once and yet another guy mentioned that there was such an issue with Cyanogen on OnePlusOne, but it was fixed in one of the updates.
I'm currently on 12.1-YOG4PAS3OH and I'm not sure whether it is a Cyanogen issue alone or an issue caused by interaction of Cyanogen and some of the applications installed. I'm inclined to believe that it's the latter, otherwise there would be a lot of people who ran into the issue.
This weekend, if time permits, I'm going to try uninstalling the applications one by one to find out whether any of them contribute the issue, but maybe some of you have already done some investigation or know how fix the issue. I would appreciate your input.
Thanks.
Hi there, i am facing the same issue since two days now
First i am unable to come up with the physical home button issue and now there is this new issue. The phone does not respond after a call and the screen remains off and does not respond to any touch (double tap) or even the power button and home button pressed. I had to take the mobile into the recovery mode via home buttons power button and volume rockers. Is there any possibility of this getting fixed. I think i made a huge mistake purchasing this phone.. Slowly getting into problems one by one.. First the physical home button issue then this screen off issue. Checking for updates daily but seems like ZUK officials and Cyanogen are sleeping! Highly disappointed!!!!
In the meantime, I uninstalled most of the applications and the issue was still there Then I tried to play with different settings and it seems I have nailed it. After disabling turning on the screen by double tap (I'm not sure how the setting reads in English, I'm using the Russian interface), I cannot longer reproduce the issue.
Sydarij, could you, please, check whether the setting is on in your case and, if it is, turn it off and try to reproduce the issue with the screen?

Do you mean after turning off the tap to wake option on your ZUK, you are no longer facing such issue?

Yes, that's what it seems. With the option turned on I could reproduce the issue (just 1 or 2 tries were needed), while with the option turned off I could not reproduce the issue at all.

After turning off this feature, the device unlocks by itself without me waking it up. Turning the feature off doesn't seem to help buddy!

This seems to be a different problem. How the option for preventing accidental wake-up is set? (It's just below the double tap option. )
In any case, one owner on another forum complained about the accidental wake-up issue despite the setting was on, but he meddled with the firmware before that...

Yes, the accidental wake up is set yet the issue cannot be resolved. Any other way you can resolve this and prevent the issue from reproducing? In my opinion, ZUK and Cyanogen officials are asleep after launching their new flagship. Dont see any updates coming from them since last 2 months. highly disappointed with this!

No idea. The solution I found seems to work well for me, at least I have not had any issues since I applied it.
Please turn on adaptive brightness. Issue will be resolved

Hi! I'm facing the same issue for the last 3 days. I felt everytime there is any moisture of sweat on the ear piece the phone hangs and doesn't get unlocked.
Will try shutting the double tap options. Hope it works! This is the first time I've brought anything in the launch sale without reading reviews. Hope I don't regret this.
sir when call come rintone accor but calling display doesn,t show
when i press phone icon in menu then it shows
phone is lenovo zuk z1
screen freezes during/after call !!
did you solve this problem?
i too have posted the same problem here ..
any sugesstions?
i am facing a black screen while calling and receiving calls on my zuk z1 .. any solution? and where do i find the proximity setting in my settings?
So in BBS, whenever I have poor battery life, it's correlated with this obnoxious sensor usage from either Android or Google services. I noticed that a lot of times that I push the power button to turn my screen off and then move the phone, the phone gently vibrates and then lights the screen back up to the lock screen. I've tried toggling settings on and off everywhere. The only way this could be happening is with a sensor so I'm pretty sure this is correlating to that issue. Anyone seen this and have any ideas?
check "home button problem" post... your problem is the same...
