I've been having a strange issue where my epic won't sleep when I press the power button. When the phone is locked it works fine but once I unlock it I have to wait for the phone to sleep by itself.
I was using syndacite rom when it happened but now that I switched to baked snack 1.5 the problem is still here. (Both wonderful roms btw)

I would start with checking out Spare Parts (on the market)-- whether a running app is the culprit or not. There's also an "end button behavior" setting that you can take a look at in there, although, I haven't had that problem since my Moment.
Yo...thanks homie. It definitely was the end button thing in spare parts.
You rock

When I unlock my phone and immediately tap an icon nothing happens. I know I've read that other people have had this problem. Has anyone figured out what causes it

Never hears of that, when I immediately click on something after I unlock my tn it opens the app no problem
I've tried many Roms and keep having the problem. Even tried different kernels and governors. I don't think it happened for the first week I had it.

You'll notice that it happens when your phone is plugged in. I don't know the reason for it, but I'm pretty sure it's a bug with the phone itself.
It happens even when it's not plugged in. Every time. It's not even a once in a while thing.

This also happens if you under clock very low with screen off. Then its slow to wake up, get notifications, and react.
I thought about that too. I don't have any profiles set and it still happens. Oh well. Thanks for the suggestion. If I can't figure it out I'll unroot and go exchange it.
Are using the sense launcher ?

I had tried sense, launcher, adw, adw ex, and launcher pro. All with the same problem. Somehow this morning its back to how it should be. I have no idea what I did.

Are you running a task killer, antivirus, or setcpu? If yes to any of them that could be causing your problem.
I removed setcpu, and lookout and restarted and it still wasn't better so I put them back on. But today its still better for the first time in a week. Only thing I did different was pull the battery. Hopefully it keeps working.

The button dosnt work it seems to click normal and I did not drop it or anything else to make it stop working right. So my question is: does it have anything to do with the rom im running (cm7 nightly 179) or is there anyway to make another button take over the action of screen off/on?

You can set the volume rocker for screen on and you can have a widget to power off
Rocker on is in cyanogen settings

Thanks I found the volume key setting does the widget use memory?

prob does if you get it since it is a widget but im sure its not alot
well volume on widget off is working but it is incredibly annoying to not have a power button. has this happened to anyone or is there any write up on fixing a button? or any solution for my button?
thanks!
I had the same issue. Used the app in this thread to remap the power button to volume keys. Then changed the power button in the app to "focus" to disable it. This app modifies the build.prop file so you only have to do this once or after each rom flash.

Have same problem, it really pisses me off. One day it works fine, the next day, nothing changes and it doesn't work at all. The button clicks fine, it has a case and has been well taken care of, and still for some reason the most important button breaks.
If anyone has had the same problem and found a remedy please let us know.

Remap the button.
I think you should find a way back to stock and test it. I had a bad power button and regardless of the rom they do fail. Get it back to stock, and if you can do a warrenty claim

I am surprised by how many Captivates have this problem. Once it fails with your phone off, you may never be able to get it to turn on !!!
I had cognition 4.5 installed and i was at work sending a text where all of a sudden my sister screen shut off and I heard the locking click sound. I hit the power button and it was locked. I unlocked it and it did it again. And it got worse and worse till the power button stopped functioning altogether. Getting back to stock was a pain as to get into download mode typically requires holding power, after hours of googling someone on these forums suggested using adb and a gui. I was able to reboot into download and use hemdale to get back to stock, and i was off to an AT & T warrenty exchange center to get a new phone. It seems to be a common problem amongst all android phones, as I have a friend who used to have a droid incredible, and upgraded to a droid bionic because his power button died.

you don't need a power button at all to get into download mode. or adb, or gui.
The power button is replaceable on the board if you are highly skilled with removal and re installation (it's soldered in place).
If you have questions about replacing it...PM me.
My power button acts kinda flakey at times, but then works fine for a long time.
My power button is all good now, been using this cappy since October, rooted, cyanogenmod 7.1, it's like a new phone. But I'm about 2 weeks away from the 90 day refurbished warrenty running out, hope nothing breaks on it again

do you know where I can buy that part? I want to change it.
I am having few things i noticed with my phone don't know if anyone else is having it-
Back button doesn't work in any setting or app. For example if I go to phone settings disable Bluetooth back key is not lit, have to click on home and start over.
GPS takes forever to lock .
Phone doesn't have a led for missed calls, is there a app which can do bln.
phone is running stock rom (2.3.7) and its not rooted

Check out noled. It works pretty well.

The back button should work. I'd say there is something wrong there. For the other things like bln you'll need to install a kernel which supports it. That requires that you root your phone.
No back button doesn't work its not lit.

You're 12 years old aren't you? Lol jk
Yes I realize that. I'm not saying I don't belive you I'm just stating that it should work and if it doesn't then there is something wrong with ether the hardware or software on your phone. Best bet would be to root it and flash a ROM from scratch.
So my Blaze is having some catastrophic problems. It started out the other day by turning off and then vibrating like crazy in my pocket in the same way it would of you were holding the power key down, and it wouldn't stop. I pulled the battery, replaced it and it immediately started vibrating and wouldn't stop as if the power button were stuck in.
Long story short I took my phone apart and removed the plastic button and can get it to boot and stay on for a while. It still craps out sometimes, but I've had it on for a couple hours now with out the plastic part of the power button. I can still hit the button with a pen, BUT here lies my problem...
If I so much as look at the power button funny, it decides that it wants to get stuck down and won't go back up. The actual moving part doesn't get stuck, I think it's electrical.
So if anyone has any clever ideas on how to fix this, I won't have the money for a new phone for a couple weeks and it will make my life very happy to be able to make this one usable
It works sort of if I never have to press the power key, and I remember using a ROM that had the volume locker wake option, but for the life of me I can't remember which one it is. So if someone could help me out there too, that'd be great

Gosh I'm kinda flash crazy, I believe I was on the most recent version of Paranoid Android with whatever version of LZ Kernel comes with it. I originally thought it may be a ROM / Kernel issue so I flashed CM10, and it was still broken.
I don't actually think my problem is a software (ROM or kernel) problem. If it's stuck resetting and I pull and replace the battery, it starts to boot without me touching the button. That means the problem is occurring before any of the software even loads.
I'm pretty certain it's a problem with the button. If I so much as touch it, it acts like it's stuck depressed. I think it may also be heat related, so maybe the ROM or kernel may have caused some overhearing that damages the hardware, but I don't know. It was definitely super hot when it first started.
Hope that helps you!
And if any devs or anyone has any idea about this.. That'd be great

Sorry I am a long time reader on the forums and obviously just joined the site so I could start being a part of the community, anyways hello everyone and on to my question.
I have the ultra and thanks to the flawless work of jcase I ran the root perm method. Everything seemed to be nice and fine, recently however I have noticed that my phone goes through odd "freezes" either when trying to slide the status bar down to see notifications (will slide down and I get no response, also get no response afterwords if I try to open an app) a reboot usually takes care of the issue however and I'm back to normal. Also have noticed from co-workers that when my phone does this freeze method, I also cannot get calls or txts from anyone. was just curious if anyone had also experienced this since rooting? Would a flash to stock and root again be in my future?

I've never had a phone that doesn't have occasional glitches. Just force a reboot (hold both power button & volume up key).

Yeah that's normally the route I've been going. As for now I have uninstalled closed framework and modules as I was noticing a few errors when running gravity box. Since uninstalling I haven't noticed any issues. Maybe xposed was just having fun toying with me. Now that there's safe strap and themer available I'm just going to leave that uninstalled thanks for the heads up and tip
