I just got my new Droid Turbo 2 and the power button is not waking the device. It turns off the screen and if I double press it activates the camera, but not until I plug the phone in does it actually wake. Anyone else experience this?

i was thinking is there any other way to wake blackstone from sleep mode, without pressing the power button. MAYBE the vol button or the 4 buttons at the bottom. Repeated pressing of the power bottom may cause the power to be spoil one day
what about pulling out the stylus? many locking and rotating apps have this option
Pluging to power wake it up.
is anyone having issues with waking up this phone? Randomly to get the screen back on I will have to press the power button about four times for the screen to come back on. its really starting to bug

press harder. I learned quickly that it takes a firm push and you have to hit the button w/o your fingers getting caught up on the sides of the phone.
it's either that or you got a bad button
I have the same issue, this along with the lag I get at times when I attempt to use the camera has me seriously considering returning this phone. The Inspired I returned had non of these issues just a tinny speaker.

Mine wouldnt go to sleep today when pushing the button. Seems to be a few bugs with this phone eh?
I'm starting to look at re-mapping the keyword to allow the volume keys to wake it up, and then use the fingerprint reader to unlock it. That power button seems to fragile to me. To turn the screen off I just use Extended Controls.
Any thoughts?
Widget locker has an option to use the vol buttons for wake
I kinda have the same problem but its when i press the lock button the screen shuts off but then comes right back on. I press it again, it shuts off, then comes right back on.
I had the same problem - power button wouldn't wake phone from sleep.
I had to do a battery pull to resolve the issue.
I'm using the lastest FW.
Motorola phones (Not just Atrix, but Droid X also) have some funky business that sometimes prevents/delays the screen from turning on, even if the button press is registered. This happens with the power button and also the volume buttons if they're used to wake the device (Like with WidgetLocker). I haven't been able to narrow it down, but I suspect it's related to (ab)use of PowerManager's preventScreenOn()

It sounds logic to me, because even editing the right keyboard file to add a wake_dropped to the volume down, it won't turn on the screen. I hate when they change things the way they do with this, the bootloader, etc.
At times (occasionally) I find myself pressing the wake button while my nexus 4 is on sleep at most 3 times in order for it to wake up.
Is anyone else facing the same problem?
By wake button, I assume you mean the hardware power button? If so, I've noticed that I need to press firmly on the center of the power button to guarantee waking up. If I push on the edge, it doesn't always work even if the button "clicks".
I haven't noticed any issues but I do have a bumper ($5 Poetic) and I can just slide my finger over with a little pressure and it responds. Not sure if it's hardware or like tengen said that you might not be hitting the middle, but there are quite a few ROMs out there that let you wake with the volume rocker as well, nice feature.
Hello.
Is there a way to wake the screen up other the pressing the power button? I sometime leave my book open and the screen times out. It's kinda awkward pressing the power button on the side.
Merry Xmas!!!
It's a shame that they haven't implemented some kind of "double tap display to wake" feature
Would love this feature as well.
I feel the same too.
Hi
I've just bought an ex-demo display unit off ebay (with limited warranty from a rated biz seller) and after I press the power button whilst it's in sleep/standby mode, it can take around 15-40 sec for the screen to turn on. On my old Tab-S2 (and virtually every other device) pressing the power button wakes up the device immediately.
Am I missing some weird new feature here or is it faulty? How can I test it?
If I do a screen double-tap it's the same. If I hold down the power button then it prompts straight away to turn off. So it just seems to have the delay whilst it's in sleep/display-off mode. If it's powered off then it starts after about 5sec holding down the power key.
It's no good having a faster tablet if it takes ages to wake up - any ideas?

that's not normal for sure, it should wake up instantly after pressing the power button, you can try to factory reset or flash latest firmware, if problem exists you should return it then.
Thanks for the info - I'd already updated the firmware but it made no difference. I also ran the Samsung Members Hardware test https://www.samsung.com/levant/support/mobile-devices/samsung-members-how-to-perform-hardware-test/ but and the hardkeys check out fine.
However I've just discovered that if I disable "double tap to wake" (option enabled by default) then the power key and fingerprint touch now wake it immediately. The behaviour was rather random though so will give it some time.
Well that turned out to be short lived as it sometimes then went to sleep and couldn't be woken up at all, save for the power and vol down key combo. I contacted Samsung support and they advised me to return it!
