If I press the power button on my G2, the screen comes on, and goes off after about 1 second. During this one second, I can unlock the screen and do anything but the screen ultimately goes off. the only way to use my phone is to turn the screen on by plugging in the charger, or by pressing power button volume down at the same time. this switches the screen on normally. Tap to sleep works perfectly but tap to wake isn't working. I've tried factory reset. I've cleaned cache partition. I'm all stock no root. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

how can i prepare that, please help me
Thanks for reading
So I think there might be something wrong with the power button, when it does work it has a 5 second lag between pressing it and when the lock screen pops up. However, there have been several times where I'm going to bring it out of sleep mode and it doesn't wake up - so I press and hold the power button for a few seconds and nothing. When I press it again it vibrates and boots up normally. So what I think is happening is I'm actually turning it off, thinking that it's having issues with the SOD, and then turning it back on again. But no matter how many times I just simply press the power button it still won't bring up the lock screen out of sleep. So is there some way I can turn it on via the volume rocker?
Thanks in advanced.

That is the sleep of death. No on the volume without special programming.
Well, the only thing that made me think it was otherwise was the battery stats - it shows that the tablet has been awake the whole time it's been in SOD...

That is what I have found, it is still running. That is why you have to monkey with the power button, the first long press shuts it off even tho it looks to be off. After it is shut down, then it will turn back on. Their are some ics roms that this is fixed in. I used to have the sod, but the rom I am using don't have that problem and I have had that problem with all roms, sept ics.
OK - so I have searched and can't find a solution - so hoping someone can help! My Nexus 7 is effectively dead at the moment
So, I noticed what appeared to be a bug with the automatic brightness a couple of days ago, where if I tried to turn on the screen in a dark room it wouldn't, turned the lights on, worked fine, I then set it manual brightness so I could the lights off - so figured fine, probably a software bug, will be fixed in 4.1.2 or whatever.
Then yesterday I was playing with the auto brightness again, set it to automatic and instantly the screen went off and I haven't been able to get it back on. I have tried:
1. Reboot (holding down power button for 10 seconds). Result is Google logo comes up, followed by nexus logo (so backlight does work) then the screen goes off.
2. Factory reset (hold down power button and both volume buttons) - picture of Android lying on back comes up. Interestingly when plugged into power the buttons are then unresponsive, but when I do this under battery power they work. So (under battery power) I selected Recovery Mode, and the screen then shows the Google logo for in excess of an hour. It doesn't go any further. So I can't factory reset either!!
When the screen is off, I have plugged into my computer, and it recognised. I managed to unlock it once (by guessing the pattern unlock) and I could see the file system. So it is on and working, the backlight is just off and I can't find any way to turn it on!
It is not rooted.
Any ideas or help???
Hello,
I have a strange problem with my Nexus. My power button is acting strange. Long hold brings up power menu, but:
- short press does not turn screen off
- Smart cover also does not turn screen off
- double tap to status bar does not turn screen off
- 15 seconds of timeout also does not turn screen off.
What is happening? Thank you.
So your screen will not turn off at all besides powering off the device?

Thats right.
Well i don't think the power button itself is the problem since it works to power it off and on, and since the screen wont sleep by other methods either.
Did you flash a new ROM, kernel, or other mod before this happened?
HI guys, my S5 G900H has this weird problem, when I press the power button to turn the screen off or when is about to turn off automatically the screen flickers before it goes off, and then it's really hard to wake it up, I mean I have to press the power button at least 10 times before the phone wakes up, any idea on how to fix my issue.
