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.
Hi!
Follow my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/screen-flicker-workaround-t3454377
Maybe this workaround can help you!

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.
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, the problem is this.. I am using Note, then I press power button to turn it off, and it immediately turns on... And pattern lock is not activated...
It is not happening all the time, but 2 or 3 times per day...
Driving me crazy...
Have you got some ideas??
Thanks...
Power button is a known weak point. Test to see if you can make it happen by pressing it in a particular way.
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!
Since i've been using viperOS i noticed that sometimes when i press the button to turn the screen on nothing happens, it seems to be random. The button is not the problem, i can turn the screen off without any problem, it only happens sometimes when i try to turn on the tablet screen. It also happens when i use the volume buttons to try to turn on the screen and the home button. Maybe its a RAM related problem?
