Phone never sleeps

Help me please.
Until today everything was fine, than, I can't put the phone to sleep.
When I press the end key it comes black and after 1 second turns on again at the lockscreen. I can't put it into sleep mode with the screen off.
Neither in battery or plugged in charger.
I dis a hard reset, installed new ROM (Artemis) and new radio but nothing can solve the problem.
Do someone know what's happening ?
Sorry about my english.
Thank you all.

Additional information
When i conect and disconect the power cable it returns to normal, everything ok until next boot. If i reboot, the problems begins again.

Probably the last option but a hard reset will likely cure it.

do you install any apps after the hard reset? of so which?

Try this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

No, after the hard reset nothing was installed.
The problem still exists even when I remove the sim and the SD.
But when I conect the power cabe (for a second) evererything is back to normal.

sounds like a hardware problem then.

[Q] Constant black screen from boot, but still responsive

My ROM is NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.1
The last thing I did was watch a video on YouTube (Application). I then got a black screen the next time I tried to unlock it, this has happened a few times with this ROM so I normally just soft reset it by taking out the battery.
However this time I did it again and my phone turned on, but was constantly black. It vibrated as if it was turning on but did not do any boot logo. Tried booting it into the tri-color screen and nothing still.
I have realised though that it is still booting up, and working like normally, but the screen is just black, it is a lighter black as if it's responding if I press a button. I managed to unlock my phone by doing my pattern, and I can hold the home button and feel a vibration, so I know it has booted into Android.
I'm just really not sure what to do, I've looked all over the forums and found one similar problem but no solution. I think I can get into the tri-color screen if I hold down vol down but it won't show the screen, I just know it is in the screen as I see the light is constantly a light black as if it is constantly on.
Shall I try Task29 or does anyone have any idea what I should do?
Edit*
I can now run AndroidScreenCast and operate my phone from my PC. I can control my phone as if i was normally, but the screen is just black. Like I said it turns onto a light black when anything happens but hat's it. Is it just my screen afterall? (It has been cracked for over a year now but no problems upto now..)

My guess is that you accidently disconnected the output cable from phone to display.
This should be the issue since there seems to be no screen but interactive elements.

Any idea if I can do anything about that myself?

Hmm the cable is right under the hardware buttons.
You can try pressing around them to have a chance of getting it back (no guarantee and if you break your display its not my fault).
If you are experienced enough you could remove the LCD but I don't know anything about that.

yes, you could be the ribbon cable connector to the motherboard, you must fully remove the display and see if the latch on the cable connector is closed.
Also check if the cable is securely attached to verify you see two small ends' near the copper plug is attached to the plastic connector on the motherboard.
good luck

[Guide]For people with white screen

If your xperia play (Doesn't matter which model, it affects all plays) is getting this white screen here:

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

The problem that you are facing is a busted flex cable. I'm posting this thread because I have seen in the past week at least 5 people ask what the white screen is, and how to fix it. Here is a video on how to take apart your play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3n5ZfkqhzE and here is a link to where you can buy a new flex cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flex-Cable-Ribbon-Connector-for-SONY-ERICSSON-XPERIA-PLAY-Z1-Z1i-R800-/180869752159?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a1cad655f#ht_1547wt_1185
The only way you can avoid the flex cable damage is to keep from sliding your gamepad in and out all the time. So basically, just try to do it if you are actually going to be playing a game, not just something you do because you are bored.
I hope this helps anyone with that problem!

Thanks. Does this mean sliding up slowly as well yeah ?

Not necessarily. Just don't do it too often. Mines lasted me since june 2011 so far.

Basically It's every time it slides. Just don't sit there rapidly opening and closing it.

I have that problem. It still works perfectly when I open the gamepad, so I don't care.

I'd order a new one soon, because eventually it breaks with it open too.

i have a different problem
first my screen would come on but the phone was on and working etc
but the screen stayed black
if i kept pressing power on button or the hardware keys it would come back on sometimes
or if i restarted the phone
but now the screen wont come on at all, i power the fone on and it vibrates
and then it vibrates again and power buttons goes blue for a short time i think to signal that doom kernel has loaded and that u can go to recovery
but that it.
phone is dead

Wow, this is a huge problem. Is this happening to a lot of launch-buyers?

I don't know what your problem is...It might be your LCD

Ah, I have this, but its only partially down the left side of the screen, about 20px

Thank you for the video, I just push the conection and works.
Sorry for my English

Sony repaired my flex cable for free, although i unlocked my bootloader with a key from their website. So if you still have warranty on your device you don't have to fix it your self and lose your warranty completely.

[Q] Won't boot after lollipop update...

Hi guys,
I'm pretty stressed out because I just fixed my gf's nexus 4 that had a broken digitalizer (bought the complete frame and just exchanged it). Worked like a charm, everything was running smoothly... I got system notification that there was an available update I think it was 5.1.1, but since it was Lollipop I said wow cool. Started the download and prompted me to restart the device. It turned off and started installing... Everything was going great, the progress bar finished and then the phone just turned off. Nothing happened for 10 minutes so I started to worry, another 5 minutes passed by and tried to turn it back on, but for my bad luck nothing happened... Tried doing a soft reset (volume down + power for 10 secs) and the google logo appears for like 4 seconds and then disappears. Tried going into recovery mode (long press down volume + power) and it pops up for like 2 secs and then disappears and the google logo appears again and disappears. Tried long pressing the on button for 10 secs and only the Google logo pops up doing the same thing as all the other methods. In one of the many long presses I made it took me to the progress bar I had when lollipop was being installed but just rebooted at around 10% (I'm guessing) and happened like 3 more times and then the Google logo situation happened again and I cannot seem to find anything that can help. I tried installing the adb and fastboot to try and link them but my PC wont even recognize the phone as it barely turns on.
Any solutions you guys can come up with?
Thanks to everyone and sorry for the long post I guess

download mode boot loop problem

HI,
I have an SPH L720 that was working with the stock rom, I assume latest update but I'm not sure.
Something happened now it won't boot the OS, won't boot to recovery, it will boot to download mode but immediately reboots once in download mode.
I can't get odin to see it nor can I access it via adb sitting at adb wait-for-device while I put it into download mode.
It doesn't seem to matter if the sim chip/sd card are in or out same behavior. I'm sure the battery I'm using is charged.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Ideally I'd like to get some photos off the internal sd card, or at the very least reflash the stock rom to make it usable again.
thanks

Are you sure the battery has a good connection? Try wedging in a piece of paper or plastic to ensure that your battery connection isn't loose. Also the power button has a tendency to stock on these devices, try paying the power button very forcefully a few times, I had this problem with my S4 and eventually needed to take it apart and clean the power button.

thanks for the reply, i checked those and tried that, i think power and battery connection are okay. Pretty newish phone so it's in good condition.
I ordered a usb jig off ebay, hoping maybe it'll let me get into download mode and stay there, but not too hopeful

as i suspected, while the usb jig bounced me into download mode it immediately reboots. It's a goner I guess.
