A strange thing has been happening for a while now. When I press the power button to unlock the phone the screen will be upside down. There will also be a line across the screen of what looks like "tv static." If I hit power again to turn the screen off then once more to bring it back on it goes away. It happens on any rom and it really doesn't effect anything else and only happens when I unlock the phone.
Anyone know what it could be?

Not only a rom problem my dads Mytouch 4G does the same thing and its stock gingerbread, I thought my dads was the only one, since I never heard of it in another.
Happens to my phone as well. I thought it was normal.

Does anyone else have an issue with their power button? It seems as if I have to push it down really hard now to turn phone off or restart phone. I have the white one if that means anything. No other problems until now.

Had that same exact problem when I had my white. I switched to black and the power button iz MUCH better. It sticks out more too so it makes the power button a breeze to push with no effort. Sometimes I push it just for the hell of it.

I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this issue. I am currently running the latest cyan 7 nightly but i do recall it happening 2 other times on cyan 7 RC4 and RC1. I am not at all saying it only happens on cyan, i am just showing when and how it happened. All 3 times it happened my battery was below 10% and i restarted my phone to have the issue occur. It seems as if every button on the screen would choose the exact mirrored opposite of itself on the screen. If i would press the phone icon on adw the default on the other side wich happens to be internet browser would launch. If i pulled down on the notification bar the app drawer would open and so on and so on. the only thing that was regular was when i would press an option in the main menu such as wifi or location, basically anything that didnt have an option next to it that it could switch to. after a few minutes i restarted the phone again to have the issue go away as fast as it started. It was not only in adw for those wondering it was anything that had an option next to it, such as pressing favorites in the browser and it would launch whatever is opp of it, settings i think im not positive at the moment. Oh well i just figured i would share some of my story with all of u in case it somehow starts a topic or even some how helps somebody out in any way. thanks, veritas

I work for a cell phone repair company and we recently had a G2 come in with heavy water damage. after doing the water damage treatment the phone powered on, everything working fine.
I powered it off to put my SIM into it to test the call functionality and when it powered back up the entire touchscreen was backwards, even the softkeys at the bottom.
we replaced the digitizer and that fixed the issue, so maybe T-Mobile or HTC will warranty it if its a bad digi
hey guys, my friend just got a MT4G, non rooted (no interest in rooting ).
and he was "showing off" to me today when his hardware buttons suddenly stopped working. only the trackpad worked when he scrolled using it. all the rest of the buttons stopped working
finally i had to do a battery pull and reboot.. not sure if that fixed the issue (class was starting lol). i'll ask him again on monday.
but just wondering, has any of you guys encountered this issue before?
he's got S-On, and the stock gingerbread 2.3.4.
Haven't heard that about the hardware? I have heard about stock froyo randomly deleting all text messages tho.

Kinda, the back button on my phone gets stuck sometimes to the point where I can't push it/use it.

Build quality on the mt4g was never the greatest.
My home button stopped working, so I sent my phone to HTC to have it repaired.

Yea, I have the white one & my physical buttons suck. My back & other buttons often get stuck & my power button feels pretty loose. My battery door is also a little rickety. My boyfriend (i'm a girl, btw) has a black one & his buttons are much better, no sticking, no looseness. Kinda a crapshoot with these phones...

Alright after almost two years of owning the evo I would be doing something on the phone.. example texting and when I will be typing it type random letters repeatedly so I would always wipe screen or restart phone n would go away but then come back until it fell and screen wouldn't turn on now my gs3 seems to stay doing this. But seems just on xda app. Well that's what I'm mostly on when on the phone. Anyone else have this or happened. Might have to take it back if gets worse.. argh:banghead:

Got a question. My girlfriends phone won't stay off. We press the power button to put it to sleep and/or turn the screen off. When we do, it comes back on right after. It is a little annoying and battery draining. Any help?

Just do a battery pull

Yeah we do that, but sometimes it still does it too. Its weird.

If its plugged in it could stay on. Is her phone rooted? Can you clear the cache and dalvik? Make sure its unplugged and do a battery pull. Then leave it out for a couple mins, replace, wipe cache and see if it still happens. She may also have a crappy power button.
Nah, she's not rooted. I've thought about it, but I also don't want to mess her phone up and go through the long gfree process. Mine is rooted, g2. But I told her maybe later I would. She likes the way it is, dunno why, but does. So ill let it be for now.

B4 I was rooted I use to use go launcher and other home replacement apps and I found sometimes it would make my screen turn on randomly so it could be an app she has down loaded
Sent from my Dark Unicorn Resurrected v.2.5 using xda premium
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. She has a theme on go sms that tries to get her to download go launcher. I want her rooted so her phone will work 10x better, but she's an if ain't broke don't fix it girl. But her phone is pretty broke ha ha
Sent from planet Vegeta.
Haha well it could be an app and I think you should just keep trying to get her to let you root it and then give her a great custom rom and she won't have any reason to complain lol

wont turn off
hi, i have a rooted my-touch 4g w/ cyanogen 7. i am currently experiencing the same problem. pressing the power button only momentarily shuts screen off then it comes right back on. after that it will continue to shut off and on. i believe the problem has to do with the track pad button, possible=y something making contact or an improperly working switch. i have found that if you time pressing the power button right when the screen starts to turn back on it will stay off, but you have to time it right. as to why i think its the track pad, i have found that if you hold the track pad button down and then press the power button the screen will remain off until you release the track pad button. i pressed down hard on the track pad and released then tried the power button by itself and it seem to be functioning correctly for the moment. i am 99% sure its the track pad button.
Could it be stuck power button

It may be fastboot. Just a suggestion.
