Power button not waking phone up

Every once in a while after not using the phone for a few hours the power button won't wake the phone up and I have to take the battery out or soft reset. Any ideas what is causing this?

Anyone have any ideas?

When I wake my phone up, it seems like it takes two hits of the power button to fully wake it up.
On the first try, I can see the answer and hangup keys light up for a second then go dark. On the second try, the phone wakes up.
Not sure what may be causing this. Can you try to see if hitting the power button a second or a third time will wake it up?

I can hit it 100 times and it won't wake up, needs a soft reset or battery removal to wake up. I've tried it with programs installed and just hard reset it and it's still doing it

my phone has this same issue too. its happened twice since i got my phone a week ago.

i have had the same problem ... let then a week of having the phone and on 2 occasions it has just shut off on me ... i even upgraded to the new rom and that didnt help

I have the same problem.

same problem here, i use soft reset to fix

yes, I had to do a softreset to fix it

It's a bug in HTC's software and they told me the fix will be included with the EVDO Revision A upgrade. Also the default SIP does not stick between soft resets and THAT bug is supposed to be fixed as well.

can you inform which ROMs you used that had this problem and which carrier?

It's not a bug with the rom or the phone specifically. It's issues the phone has with certain software, etc.... I experienced the same problem when installing and running some items. After uninstalling the software the problem went away.
I've experienced this with several different applications that weren't intended for the Mogul but i decided to try out anyways.
My suggestion is to figure out when the problem started and then determine what software you had recently installed. This will most likely solve your problem.
Also, in a previous post someone mentioned that the SIP won't stick after a soft reset. This is true, however you can fix it with a free program on xda's site. Look for SIPChange

Someone posted previously that this happened even after a hard reset, and the only fix was having it exchanged for a different unit.
Sounds to me like at least in that case, it wasn't merely a software issue.
I actually had this happen to me today, but its not as often as some people report it to be. I've owned this phone for over a month, and its happened maybe 2-3 times. A little press on the soft reset button fixes it, and I forget it ever happened!

does this problem happens on WM5 & WM6?

did you solved the problem? i have had the same problem and in my case PhoneAlarm was the reason.

This just happened to me this morning. I just got the phone last night.

I'm so happy to hear all this! especially since I plan on getting the phone this weekend! I can't wait to run into these problems! Just out of curiousity, where did you guys purchase your phones? City, State? Online? Earth? thanks!

[q] nexus 4 acting weird (possessed)

Hey guys
I hope you can help me, after 4.3 update my nexus starts working weird, like it has been possessed, suddenly it start playing by itself the screen starts moving and open some applications by itself....it recovers when i press the powen buttom two times, so it get back to normal. But this problem has started continuesly apprearing, sometimes im texting and then the phone press some buttoms by itself....so weird.
At the beginning i though i had a virus so i downloaded avast but the problem was still there, then i though mm it might by the image.
So i unlocked the bootloader and then, flash image 4.3, seems the problem was resolved but after 30 min it was there again.
I though OK maybe 4.3 its the problem, i flashed 4.2 but it was worst.
I was reading another post and it seems some users that has NEXUS 7 are experience the same issue:

Try an excorcism by doing a data factory reset in settings/accounts/backup and restore. if that doesn`t help reflash the factory image in fastboot.

But the problem does not appear everytime, for example right now ive been playing with it for 1 hour no lag so far.
But from time to time it appears, weird.
It really looks possessed haha

Do you have a screen protector on your Nexus? Sometimes some of the cheaper ones can cause interference with touchscreens, making them do that. (Happened to my old Droid Milestone)

Draw a pentagram " anyone will do. A good one is the alchemy circle from full metal alchemist "
Sacrifice two ducks, a rat, and two hundred donkeys and start channeling your thoughts and summon tool guy "aka Satan"
In all seriousness did your phone get wet? And I mean that in a totally non sexual way....

Ouch it's really acts like possessed one, you need to call some priest (kidding) :silly:
If seriously, what version of android are you using? It is got wet, or it's just started suddenly to act like this?

You're not alone, well then again i did get a replacement lcd/digitizer so it could be a problem with that.
But without a doubt i'm getting the same symptoms as you, sometimes my screen touches itself and what not.
Power on/off does solve it too.

If possible enable show touch events under developer options that will help you track down if its touch events.
my N4 has recently started showing these signs without any specific reason, its not possessed but what i can understand is my device has got a horizontal strip in middle of screen which is non responsive to touch and the random touch events are tracked to that specific region only.

I have the same problem. I've got a brand new nexus 4 and its really jumpy and the best possible way to describe it is definitely possessed. Does anyone have any solutions or shall i just send it back and get it replaced?

Open a ticket with Samsung and send it in for a screen replacement. if there is no water damage or physical damage they will fix it for free under warranty.

I have this green issue with flickering lines...
Warranty expired...
****sung

Are any of ypu rooted s8 u model. This is a byproduct of the combination bootloader used for rooting

Green Screen of Death
Very sorry to hear about it
While my S8 was messed up, my sisters s7 Edge had the exact same problem...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77189854&postcount=16
Now slowly, the green screen would start to flicker at times and lo one day, it would turn into a pale green light. You wont be able to do anything with the phone.
My IMMEDIATE ADVICE ...
TAKE a COMPLETE BACKUP of your data as soon as you read this message.
Secondly
Try turning the Blue Light filter off, Change the saturation of the phone and see if you are still seeing the green shade,
Send this device to service center.
EDIT :- Just now noticed the OP's date is almost a year old.

I got a same issue too today ****sung!

Is there a fix ? i dont wanna pay 250$ to replace the screen.it works well in full brightness

i got the same green screen on galaxy s8+ today after using it for 2 years i had custom kernel with hari rom, the phone is usable in full brightness, it has green overlay with horizontal line flickering over it i think this a motherboard issue, have your issue resolved ? what you did? i am thinking to change board and see

I have fixed my phone twice with this problem. You need to heat up the screen. Full brightness then record video for an hour. You should see the greenness recede. If there are green lines st the bottom which don't disappear, use a hairdryer on the screen. You will see the green vanish in 30seconds. When the phone cools, it will come back. You need to keep regularly reheating your screen to get rid of it, like every 20 minutes for a day or, 2. Eventually it will clear up. It's a pixel what issue. Heating the screen repeatedly restores functionality, after least in my case.

It is correct that it works in full brightness. Turn off the adaptive brightness and voila you can continue to work with full brightness. However, you can also reduce your
pixel to full HD from QHD to continue in this mode. I have been working on this for last few days else the ****sung care only want's to replace the screen combo .
Will try the heating methodology. I have doubts about battery also and planning to change and see.

Same issue just popped up today for me. Rooted nougat ROM with safestrap. It's definitely not the screen itself, and it's behavior is Sunday strange, it'll show up on webpages or other screens that are mostly white, but not on the dark mode applications.
so it's green on this thread and it gets less green when I open Chrome's settings on the top right.
Reboot fixes it. Until it comes back again.

Started to face this green tint issue on my S8 recently, the phone worked well for the past two years until suddenly one day this green **** happened. Never dropped the phone and never rooted it. For now rebooting the phone solves the issue, until it comes back. Till now it happened 5-6 times in a week. Rebooting fixes it and then it runs normally for sometime (or somedays) then it happens again.
Any solution?

Apparently it is a software problem, something about some screens batch that does not received well those new patches. i took my s8 g950fd at a Samsung authorized store and is was what they told me, but they don't fix it for free if it is not on warranty even though it is a Samsung software problem. I have tried to root and change roms, but it seems my cellphone does not accept root or new roms. if some one know how to help me id be grateful.

my screen has green after unlock bootloader. i didn´t anything, so im tired :/

Sounds like a firmware bug* on at least some of these. Samsung tech support sucks elephant balls bad. Obviously Samsung is well aware of this issue by now.
*during a production run Samsung will substitute smaller chipsets and components as needed. This can cause erratic firmware/update behavior as the substituted components don't have the correct values and/or code. If so you're in a fubar because Samsung is unlikely to supply the needed patch at this late date.
You can try flashing the original firmware, be wary of updates. It could be a system apk update as well.
It could also be a hardware failure on a whole batch(es) of these phones.

started having this problem suddenly now, didn't drop it, didn't do any updates. wow!

Poco m3 touchscreen failure

I just got my poco m3 from Aliexpress and noticed that frequently the touch fail on the sides of the screen. Like when I hit the back arrow on the top left or the "?123" button in the gboard. It feels laggy and if i'm typping fast then hit the ?123 button usually dont recognize the touch and I have to hit 2 or 3 times. Can it be the glass film that's reducing the touchscreen sensibility ? I'm afraid of remove it and have to return the phone later without the glass.

Might be faulty or just lagging. The first few version of the rom was super slow

Mine doesn't have this problem, and I am using a glass screen protector.
Edit: I am using Google Zhuyin Input, I just tried to type really fast in it, and pressed "?123" after typing fast, it only went to the numpad when I pressed it the second time, so I think this should be normal. But the back arrow on the top left corner always works on my phone, I tested this with Google Play.

I noticed that when i'm typing with the phone on horizontal this doesn't happen, its weird. I think some parts of the screen are not working well. I'm gonna have to return the phone.

Guys, I think this has to do with a setting "Prevent accidental touch on the edges" or similar i saw earlier but now I can not find it anymore in the Settings app

My POCO M3 also has this issue, and I notice there are two area (red box in picture below) exist this problem.
If you press "q", "a", then press "?123" in fast speed, the "?123" button will not respond.
If you press "p", "l", then press "↲" in fast speed, the "↲" button will not respond either.

hi, i am also having this issue and was wondering if this is any software issue or hardware issue.

Apparently its a common hardware issue in the screen. If I type with the phone in horizontal the issue doesn't occurs. I just got used to it, didn't want to replace the phone cus it takes a long time to the phone to get at China and return to me cus the post service in my contry is horrible.

yes, i think this is a common problem among not poco but whole xiaomi devices as per this thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/haf1f9

It's interesting that so few people report about this issue. I gave the phone to my gf and she didn't realize any problems, although the phone had shown the same issue.
Either most people simply don't recognize it as a problem, think they are hitting the wrong button, or the problem is a rare issue on certain phones.
I took a video showing the issue on my Poco M3. I have contacted the support and send them the video, too, but only got the standard reply (update software, use safe mode, blahblah).

Any update can solve this problem? Please brother tell me. i am also suffering this problem

I also have the same problem, unfortunately I broke the screen so the service center will probably reject my case

SCREEN REPLACEMENT PROBLEM

hi there, I just replaced my screen for the umpteenth time but, on this occasion, it hasn't "taken". The old screen is totally obliterated, smashed display, but it still takes power and behaves as it should (lights up on disconnection of usb charger, for example). The new screen? Not so much. It does actually work, it shows the picture fine, but it only shows it for a fraction of a second then blinks off. When I press the power button again it does nothing, as it thinks I'm turning the phone off, then when I press it again the screen comes back on for a half a second or so and same issue. Have checked all connections, all fine, have swapped in the old screen to confirm it behaves as it should, all fine.
I'm wondering, could this be some kind of gpu/driver issue? Or has anyone experienced this before with a replacement screen and it's just a "dud"? Absolute downer as I've been waiting for it for a month or so and literally can't afford to buy another one at the moment, really bad year

I had a similar problem due to display incompatibility.
I have the phone marked FHD-D on the cable and the new display was FHD-A.
Or, the new display is not original...

Thanks for your reply and yeah, I'm figuring this is what is happening. However, the cable/screen are all one piece and were bought together, so is it possible they'd mismatch the cable to the screen themselves? idk, anyway, I've opened a dispute and have now been told that I'm stupid and that I have installed the screen incorrectly and not connected the battery (absolute gibberish).
I made a couple of videos for them, idk, have a look and see what you reckon but, indeed, to me this looks like straight up incompatibility as the screen isn't being driven properly by the phone (and, as you can see, the old busted screen behaves correctly)
Video of old/broken screen showing correct power response and on/off behaviour:
https://streamable.com/n16xo8
Here is the video of"new" screen which is clearly not correctly supported
https://streamable.com/28w8m2
Well hopefully I can get a refund for the part and get another. Can't even afford to order another at the moment until I get the refund :/ Lost my business last year due to covid and don't have access to state benefits or the like, so have just been trying to keep the head above water for the last year and a bit, so believe it or not something like this is a big expenditure for me these days :/

Yeah, it's a pain, I guess the display is just not going to work and I'll have to somehow get another - hopefully I can get the refund okay as those videos show it clearly doesn't work! The phone does actually start up, everything is going on fine aside from the screen. As I have to press on/off several times to get the screen to flicker, I don't have time to put in the unlock code and get into any menus, and then when it goes off I'm back to jockeying the button until it lights up again, at which point of course it's returning from a standby state so it's going back to the code input. BAH!

hello how are you 1 month ago I bought the second-hand mate 10 lite with the crashed but functional screen and I decided to buy a screen since the one I brought stopped working the touch screen everything was fine in the installation but the same thing happened to me as you understand normal but the screen does not work when the device is finished charging and putting the pattern turns on the screen and also that when I make a gesture it does not work I have to press a little hard and I realized that the screen came out a slight defect and I cannot request a refund since remove the security seals when installing it in your case if it came out with a major manufacturing defect
Note 2020 just look at the date of your post and still comment hehe greetings from Mexico
