wake up/sleep button acting up?

So, I've noticed that after the update the sleep/wake button has been acting up. I've found that sometimes you need to press it twice in order for it to register. Also then, sometimes after it would wake then fall back asleep within seconds of pressing the button. Anybody else experiencing this?

Yes! I might be able to second this. Thought I was imagining it.
Not yet able to reproduce it on demand.

I can recreate this and it's driving me nuts. But it wasn't due to the update. It's been happening for a few weeks now.

The power button to wake up the phone has been glitchy since the beginning for me. And the fact that the power button doesn't have good feedback when pressed, gives it some ambiguity whether you really pressed it.

I too am suddenly experiencing problems with the power key, everything works normally except now it no longer responds to a quick push to put it into standby. Long push still works. It was working fine after the update, it just happened suddenly.

You can use Keyguard Disabler, and it will allow you to wake the phone from virtually any "hardware" button.
One other issue is that it disables the lock screen completely, which some people feel is not a solution.
Maybe if you emailed the developer you could request that it not disable the lock screen yet still wake the phone from any hardware button, which I think is what we all want.
Anyway, I have to give it a thumbs up as a temporary, albeit not perfect and very unsecure, solution.
I don't have your problem, but as a former iphone user, I'm used to the home button to wake up the phone.

I'm having all kinds of problems since the update. This is one of them.

I agree with you.. for some reason. My battery drains like a mothafuga now. Today for exampe.
, I went to work at ten. Went to break two hours later and the battery was at 82% from 98%.. just sitting there idling.. why??

I also experienced this and also sometimes it wont wake up at all. It registers no input. I have to pull the battery and restart the phone.

I'm getting this, discussed it briefly elsewhere in this forum..
It's got gradually worse over the last few days for me. If you're still in your 14 days I'd ring now to get a replacement. I'm going to have to send mine off and be without it for a week.. Harsh.
Looks like it might be a fairly widespread hardware issue.

^Let us know how the fix goes. I'm not having an issue with it...yet! It's amazing HTC only made 2 hardware buttons and still couldn't have better than 50% success rate

its weird now... the button is acting fine.. dont send it in...... give it a couple days because mine did it a whole ton and then its gone. if you're really partial to your nexi, i'd just keep it... things will probably shape up

How odd, I've kind of discovered if I hold down the left hand side of the power button quite hard with my nail and rock it accross it works OK. Will wait it out like you said and see.

Sleep Button Un Responsive
Im also have the same problems where my Power Button is starting to not respong. I have to pres it like 5 to 10 times before it actually wake up or does anything. Even wile the phone is off like if I pull out the battery. When I put the battery back in, I have to press the button like 7 times before the phone responds and power up the phone.
Any suggestions or solutions?
Will HTC fix this problem for free with an unlocked bootloader?

nope unfortunately i learned that the hard way... $55

Most of you know this but maybe it helps some.
You have to manage it a bit. Turn Bluetooth/Wifi/3G/GPS/AutoSync off when not needed..
Speaking of which.. does anyone know of a smart App that lets you toggle between programmable profiles for the above list of settings?
Also discharge/recharge the battery completely every once in a while. Makes sense to have an extra USB cable @ work as well.

Unresponsive on/off button sometimes...

I find that my Minis' on/off button is unresponsive occasionally and I was wondering if anyone else felt theres was also?
Ive only had this issue when the phones locked and I bring it in and out of showing me my status. It appears the bottom icons have to light up before it will react to my press of the on/off button again.

Same for me ! Sometime I need to remove battery to restart using my HD MINI ...
Any solution ?

I have the same problem, sometimes, the button is not responsive. There should be a solution for it. Someone has to report to htc.

I have the same problem, i think that it is caused by either to many running applications or by a application that hangs.
for the most i just have to wait a minute or two and then it works again.
Last time i connected the charger, it also worked and i have also tried to call the phone from another phone. it also worked.

yes... I think it's because of many programs... I have this when I'm doing something and I push the button fast to turn of the screen and suddenly remember I forgot something and push it again to turn on... I think It's normal!!

sometimes it's anything but normal, but i found a soft reset (or hard reset for that matter) often is the solution. So it's most likely an application or process that hangs, leaving it for a few minutes and then trying to unlock it usually does the trick

Screen sometimes not turning off

I did it a search on here and Google, but besides one person on another forum having the same problem, I couldn't find anything. So sorry if this has been mentioned before.
The problem I am seeing is that sometimes (can't say what causes it) the screen simply won't turn off unless I do it by pressing the power button. This happened about three or four times in total and it seems unless I reboot the phone, the screen would just stay on, if I don't press the power button. I am on stock Android and the phone is not rooted and the phone is set to switch off the screen after 30 seconds.
Anyone else experienced this problem or does anyone know what the cause could be?

Could be a rogue app that's keeping your screen on, happened to me on another buggy device as well. Try using Batter Battery Stats for a while (day or 2, 3) and see if there's anything that's keeping your phone from sleeping.

My g2 turns itself off automatically after i turn it on.

Ive had my vs980 for about a month now, and a problem that pops up from time to time is my phone will almost immediately turn itself off a second or two after i turn it on. It tends to happen more often after I've not used it for awhile, say turning it on first thing in the morning after it's been sitting overnight. Tap on will not respond, that's my first clue, and when i use the rear power button, it will turn on very briefly then turn off. If i reboot it, it will usually start working again, and tap on will work, etc. It did this a few days into owning it, then worked fine for awhile, but just creeps in randomly. Anyone else had theirs do this?

don't cover the proximity sensor on the upper left hand side

Assuming the sensor is not blocked, you might have a bad one. I had this same issue on my phone and it got worse and worse. Eventually I returned it for another and now all is well. Your problem is definitely the proximity sensor. It's either blocked or bad.
Try swiping your finger over the sensor 3 or 4 times and then a knock on or hit the power button. That was my work around until I swapped phones.

Maybe it doesn't like you.

Thanks for your helpful response. I will try your swipe idea the next time and see what happens. It's so hit and miss when it will occur, I am thinking it is probably bad. It gets better, then bad for a stretch, then ok again. Probably will need to visit with VZ for replacement. I had heard this happening to some samsung users and it usually came down to a bad battery in their case. I've been getting battery messages, either can't charge with a certain charger or getting the slow charge message even when using its stock charger. I dunno. Like new cars with all the latest features, more things can go wrong w these fab new devices.

Lock screen freezes

Hello XDA,
This is my very first community post so please don't judge if I do something wrong here
Let's cut to the chase. I am a happy owner of the OP6T 8/256gb phone and I am super happy with the device, however, I have been having an awkward issue. From time to time, couple of times a day, my phone would not recognize neither double tap nor the power button to wake the display up. Usually out of frustration I press the power button couple of more time, but nothing happens. Then after 3-4 seconds the display wakes up and even opens the camera (because I pressed the button couple of times, but not in a fast way...). Afterwards, the phone works without an issue until same thing happens hours later.
So my question is if anyone is experiencing anything similar and found the culprit of it?
If you need any additional info on my settings, please let me know!
It is not the worst thing that could be happening with a new phone, but you know, one expects the brand new phone to work 100% of the time
Looking forward to your replies and ideas!
Many thanks,
Donatas

It's happened to me only recently. I'm rooted with magisk 17.3 running a few modules such as dual speaker, Google dialer framework and viper. I was on stock kernel, but switched to Smurf kernel without any hiccups so far.

Well I am full stock, even with stock launcher... That's why it bothers me that it is happening:/ thanks for your reply

Yes this has happened to me, glad to see I'm not alone.
It happeneds randomly, like few times a day, not too frequent to render the device unusable, but enough to be irritating - especially when it's a brand new device.
My setup;
*Rooted
*Magisk (viper & YouTube vanced module)
*Stock kernel
I'm at a loss as to what's the cause of this issue, it's very weird, it could just be an oxygen os bug that will be resolved by OnePlus. Who knows. Hopefully if more people comment about this here - we will eventually get to the bottom of it.

So far on 9.0.6 build the issue appears to have been fixed, I have not had any random temporary lock screen freeze.
Can anyone else confirm this?

Glad to hear it is fixed for you!
Unfortunately, since the update, I already experienced it 4 times...
Even more so, sometimes now the phone would randomly stop playing music from Soundcloud (I dont know about other apps, i predominantly use Soundcloud).
I love the phone but it is a little shame that some of these features are failing
Hope 1+ will fix this and we all be happy!

Yeah, sometimes my device doesn't respond to double-tap. Usually I just have to double-tap again and it wakes up. I haven't noticed the issue with the power button, but I rarely use that to wake the device. I did have a situation recently where the device wouldn't wake from a screen tap no matter how many times I tried. I can't recall if using the power button woke it or if I had to force a reboot. But that's only happened that one time.
I just updated to 9.0.6 a day ago. I don't think I've experienced any non-wake issues since then. Really haven't been paying that close attention, I guess.

I believe I am having this issue. I just flashed 9.0.7 from TMO and I'm rooted with magisk v4a and vanced. I get random freezes where I can't tap anything on my screen. I have to turn it off and on with the power button.

I experience this as well. I thought it was just an isolated thing, and it's kinda annoying...

It's very irritating. I'm trying to pin point it and so far I notice it with Firefox and Spotify transitions.
