I bought One Plus 5 in October last year. A new problem has arisen recently. It randomly starts rebooting. The lock button is perfectly fine but it is continuously set to 'PRESSED' position by I don't know what. The button is perfectly fine. But something keeps triggering the on button. It's been bugging me and randomly happens and randomly stops.
Anyone knows what's going on?
This is probably the worst phone at this price that I've ever seen. Never taking a One Plus 5 again. Other than modding and camera, it provides nothing but hardware issues 99% of the time.

You mean something is pressing the power button randomly so it reboots? Sounds like a hardware issue, so I would claim warranty.
Personally I don't hear about it as a common problem

It's gonna take time I think. I placed my phone where the power button is facing the ground and the volume buttons are facing the ceiling. Then I jerked my phone and it worked! It's not locking on it's own. But after using it for a considerable amount of time, the problem starts again. I don't know what's wrong!!!

Anyone experienced the same issue? After using the phone I press the power button but after few secs. the screen goes on again and its annoying.. Especially when I take out my HD from pocket and I see it. It was happening on stock rom now on Duttys. Could it be hardware issue with the button?

Try it without stylus inside. maybe faulty stylus thats what happened to me.
I have exactly the opposite, I switch it on, and a second later it switches off again!!
Faulty stylus? Do you mean that I try using the other one or?
When we´re already talking about the stylus, I noticed that sometimes when I pull it out my HTC doesn´t wake up from standby.. That didn´t happen on my Diamond.
The only solution I found so far is using the device lock after 0min. so I could avoid accident calls in my pocket. But there is the annoying PIN nr. every time... :/
Today I noticed, the device keeps going out of standby cca. every 10-20mins. Bad. The screen turns on and after few secs off..
mine too, every 10/20 mins.
will be some software doin it i think.
I've had a problem with my E900 since I got it with regards to the screen. I was hoping Mango might fix it but it doesn't seem to have.
Sometimes if I press the power button the screen backlight comes on (i.e. screen goes from off state to powered) but there is nothing on the screen. No amount of button pressing will cause the screen to show anything.
If this happens I have to turn the device off again (backlight then goes off) and try again. Sometimes it can take 2-3 times before it turns on successfully with the lock screen.
I also have this if an incoming call attempts to wake the phone and also alarms too.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I confirm this one popping sometimes. Not that often that it becomes annoying, but nevertheless.
Did you find a solution to this problem? I am experiencing it too and it is very annoying!
I've recently inherited one as well (E900 that is).
The one I have has been dropped, the backlight powers, but no drawing on the screen.
I've disassembled and re plugged everything (bugger stripping down!) but still no luck. I've done a VolUp+Down+Cam+power hard reset, and when I plug into PC Zune says setup needs completing (so it has reformatted) but still no luck.
I cant see anything fried, and no damaged ribbons as far as I can see, any ideas?
I sold the phone a while ago, and never solved the problem. I think it's a firmware issue.

hi.
What do you mean "somethimes if I press power button"?
Is it pressed with purpose to lock the phone, press it to turn off phone (background slider shows to power off - on Mango and beyond version) or press it accidentally?
Cheers.
So, I did a phone reset. Unfortunately the issue is still present!
Sometimes when I press the power button to unlock the phone the screen is lit, but stays blank i.e. no lockscreen wallpaper, no nothing. The same happens sometimes when I get a phone call - the phone rings and vibrates, the screen is lit but stays blank.
When this happens I have to press the power button to put the phone into sleep mode and press it again to wake it up.
What I found is, when the issue occurs the screen is actually responsive. For example I can slid up and unlock the phone then I hear the unlock "pop" sound. It's just that nothing is drawn on it!
I was wondering if anyone else experienced the same behavior and found a resolution. Also I am not sure if this is a software or a hardware problem. If I could confirm it was a hardware problem I would call LG and have the phone repaired or replaced.
i have exactly the same issue as you, it gets really annoying.
i heard from someone online that the only way to resolve it is to replace the motherboard

I am pretty certain this is a hardware issue. I am calling LG tomorrow and hopefully they'll take the phone for repair/replacement.
I sent my phone for repair. Today I got it back, and guess what?!
The issue is still present! It seems, they "couldn't reproduce" or something.
What should I do now?
EDIT: If anyone is interested, here is a video I just captured which clearly demonstrates the problem. http://youtu.be/38kF9RYs_bU
I'm sending the phone back for repair tomorrow with this video attached.
Hey, might not be an issue at all, but in the video, I saw that the two times you were able to get it to go blank you had your finger on or near the proximity sensor. I wonder if there is something that could be the trigger.
Just wondering if you can duplicated it or cause it only when you have the proximity sensor blocked, or if it truely is random.
You are right, it might has something to do with the proximity/light sensor.
On the other hand, this issue occurs even on incoming calls when the phone is placed on a table, screen up and nothing around the sensor.
Today, I visited my local carrier shop and left the phone for repair again. They told me, since this is a second claim they'll run it through the process faster, so I expect to get it back next week.
Will post an update.
UPDATE: My phone was replaced. Yesterday I got a brand new unit, yeah! It was stock wp 7.0. I plugged in my sim and used the phone the whole day, no sign of blank screen issues. Last nigh I installed all the updates (total 5 I think) up to OS 7.10.8107.79, FW 1.0.16.10. Guess what?! Same issue!
I am crushed
Hello! Just bought an Optimus 7! Really good phone for the price!
But i got one problem! When im going to turn on the phone with the windows button its sometimes not responding!
Somebody else got this problem?
Yes. Happens to me all the time, but I always use the power button to turn on the screen so it doesn't bother me that much...
Sounds like a known issue.

Same here. It must be a software bug because the button is always working when the phone is unlocked.
If you still hold for a while it works
One reason for the screen not turning on is that you may be blocking the proximity sensor at the top left of the phone. The reason behind that is probably to avoid turning on the screen when the phone is e.g. in a pocket.
for me the start button for screen unlock always works, but many times screen is unlocked and all black, the systems listen to the touch input but doesnt show nothing at all....it happens very often usually when the phone is hot...
Hello all,
I've been using ZUK Z1 for just about a week now and everything was fine until a couple of days ago when I could not unlock the phone after a call - the power button and the home button turned the screen on for a split of a second and then the screen went off again without reacting to any taps. I had to restart the phone by pressing the power button + the volume down button. I tried to reproduce the issue, but did not succeed.
Yesterday, I had the same issue twice and then I finally got it how to reproduce the problem The main condition seems to be ending the call when the screen is off. That can be achieved by holding the phone close to your ear when the call it ended by the other party or ending the call by pressing the power button (you need to turn on that setting beforehand) again while holding the phone close to your ear.
Another guy on another forum wrote that had experienced the same issue once and yet another guy mentioned that there was such an issue with Cyanogen on OnePlusOne, but it was fixed in one of the updates.
I'm currently on 12.1-YOG4PAS3OH and I'm not sure whether it is a Cyanogen issue alone or an issue caused by interaction of Cyanogen and some of the applications installed. I'm inclined to believe that it's the latter, otherwise there would be a lot of people who ran into the issue.
This weekend, if time permits, I'm going to try uninstalling the applications one by one to find out whether any of them contribute the issue, but maybe some of you have already done some investigation or know how fix the issue. I would appreciate your input.
Thanks.
Hi there, i am facing the same issue since two days now
First i am unable to come up with the physical home button issue and now there is this new issue. The phone does not respond after a call and the screen remains off and does not respond to any touch (double tap) or even the power button and home button pressed. I had to take the mobile into the recovery mode via home buttons power button and volume rockers. Is there any possibility of this getting fixed. I think i made a huge mistake purchasing this phone.. Slowly getting into problems one by one.. First the physical home button issue then this screen off issue. Checking for updates daily but seems like ZUK officials and Cyanogen are sleeping! Highly disappointed!!!!
In the meantime, I uninstalled most of the applications and the issue was still there Then I tried to play with different settings and it seems I have nailed it. After disabling turning on the screen by double tap (I'm not sure how the setting reads in English, I'm using the Russian interface), I cannot longer reproduce the issue.
Sydarij, could you, please, check whether the setting is on in your case and, if it is, turn it off and try to reproduce the issue with the screen?

Do you mean after turning off the tap to wake option on your ZUK, you are no longer facing such issue?

Yes, that's what it seems. With the option turned on I could reproduce the issue (just 1 or 2 tries were needed), while with the option turned off I could not reproduce the issue at all.

After turning off this feature, the device unlocks by itself without me waking it up. Turning the feature off doesn't seem to help buddy!

This seems to be a different problem. How the option for preventing accidental wake-up is set? (It's just below the double tap option. )
In any case, one owner on another forum complained about the accidental wake-up issue despite the setting was on, but he meddled with the firmware before that...

Yes, the accidental wake up is set yet the issue cannot be resolved. Any other way you can resolve this and prevent the issue from reproducing? In my opinion, ZUK and Cyanogen officials are asleep after launching their new flagship. Dont see any updates coming from them since last 2 months. highly disappointed with this!

No idea. The solution I found seems to work well for me, at least I have not had any issues since I applied it.
Please turn on adaptive brightness. Issue will be resolved

Hi! I'm facing the same issue for the last 3 days. I felt everytime there is any moisture of sweat on the ear piece the phone hangs and doesn't get unlocked.
Will try shutting the double tap options. Hope it works! This is the first time I've brought anything in the launch sale without reading reviews. Hope I don't regret this.
sir when call come rintone accor but calling display doesn,t show
when i press phone icon in menu then it shows
phone is lenovo zuk z1
screen freezes during/after call !!
did you solve this problem?
i too have posted the same problem here ..
any sugesstions?
i am facing a black screen while calling and receiving calls on my zuk z1 .. any solution? and where do i find the proximity setting in my settings?
Hi,
i have tome hassle with the hard press home thing.
Sometimes its working ok sometimes it does weird things.
for instance ... if i press the button hard it some times vibrates , when i let go it vibrates again and its unlocked... thats when i think its working correctly.
but sometimes it just vibrates two times although i didnt let go ...
sometimes on homescreen i swipe the homebutton slightly to clean it a bit... not hard pressing and its vibrating. sometimes one single time sometimes two times in a row .
anyone with the same issue ?
thanks
no one ?
Check what sensitivity you have the button set at. It could be too high or low.
I have mine set in the middle and never have an issue.
i tried severeal sensitivity settings ... sometimes it gets better and sometimes worse... but for me its not satisfying
i think i have to weit for an update or so ...
I had the exact same issue with my S8. Sometimes it just works, sometimes it doesn't detect it, sometimes it registers several hard presses even though I've barely touched it (sensitivity reduced as far as it goes).
This has been driving me crazy for the past week. The hard press function was unusable because of this.
At first I thought it's a software issue (something to do with calibration maybe?). I got an update which didn't fix it. I tried resetting it which didn't work either so I sent it back to Samsung yesterday. Waiting to see what they have to say about it.
The lack of complaints about this so far made me think it's just a weird issue with my unit.
I'm having exactly the same problem and it's driving me nuts for not knowing if it's a hardware or a software problem.
I've googled around and this is the only thread so far. Seems like there are very few people with this issue.
Let me know how the repair request went.
i sent it back also
new one is coming tomorrow ... lets see... will report
I have that issue too. Dont know what to do.

Oh wow, that's really fast. I still haven't heard anything from them. Did they give any information about what's wrong (hardware/software)?
no ... i didnt sent it back to samsung.
i bought it from amazon.de and ordered a replacement.
thats faster
it will arrive today then i can sent back my first one...
same here, having issues with the home press function .
I also send it back to the shop where I bought it
I´ve send mine back to the webshop also. My mate got his s8 2 days ago and his hard press was perfect and responded smoothly all the time. So i guess it must be a hardware problem.
Will share more info when i get feedback from the repair.
Same problem here, sometimes it works, sometimes (when the device is in standby) it works only after several tries and pressure in different spots.
Can someone who has got a new device or sent it to repair report if it is better now?
Hardware issue... my replacment Works fine now
Same problem
I have this issue also. Mostly it works, but sometimes it doesn't work and the phone hesitates to come back to life. If I press the power button after hard pressing the home button or just wait 5-10 seconds, the screen will come on. Oddly, when it doesn't work (and occasionally when it does), the small vibration thing happens. I have this turned off, but sometimes when hard pressing the home button, I get the vibration, but the screen won't come on. Other times, I get the vibration and the screen will come on. Mostly I don't get the vibration and the screen comes on. Annoying.

As i said ... it seems to be a Hardware issue. Get a replacement
Mine does this often, i personally could care less for the home button function so I set the sensitivity to max and yet at times if I barely touch the home button area it acts like I have hard pressed the button.

I have the same problem maybe even worse. To me it looks like it is accumulating presses, the more times I press the button the more times it vibrates. So at the end I sometimes get 4 or more vibrations for just one press. Sometimes after I lock the screen it vibrates by itself and turns on the screen.
Looks like I'll get mine replaced ASAP.
Got the same issue once in a while.. also have a faint red glow on the screen. Considering getting it replaced but dont want to wait for a replacement.
