I have a Fuze that wants to shutdown all the time. I usually run EnergyRom on it and the slide to shutdown screen keeps popping up. When I run a stock rom on it, it also shuts down, as if someones holding the power button.
has anyone ran into this issue or have any idea how to fix it? I've searched for a while and can't find anything.
thanks!
Opening up the phone enough to get to the point that you can remove the power button itself and clean that area of the phone should fix the problem.
This even helped me on my previous phone where I thought the button was losing sensitivity. After reassembly the button worked beautifully again.
I had the same problem...and then all of a sudden my power button stopped working altogether...its weird because it works fine to turn the phone on, but once it boots it doesnt turn off the screen or bring up the shut down menu or anything
how did you manage to remove it to clean it out?
First I want to thanks xda and the great folks that made this tablet really useful and fun.
I am wondering if anyone else having the problem where when you press the power button to put the device to sleep, but the device does not quite go to sleep. I notice that if I press the capacitive buttons within 2 minutes of pressing the power button, the device would wake up again. I have tnt lite 2.2 installed. Any fix for that?
You can hold the power button for a couple seconds then release...you should see a menu with a sleep option
Yeah, I see the problem. And even telling it to sleep with the power button doesn't completely solve it- tapping on the home button for a while wakes up the screen.
But, as some people say, it's not a bug- at least if your power button dies, you have an alternate way of turning on the thing
My problem is with a timeout of 2 minutes, if I let it time out, the thing shuts down, not sleeps.
I'm working on a new sleep issue theory. very severe button bounce.
For the past 24 hours, I have been waking my gtab by placing the right end against my chest, and using a finger on the power switch, I jab the button as hard and as fast as I can.
This has so far solved the wake to birds problem. If you have this problem, try the above, as hard as brief as you can, and see if it helps.
I am a handheld hardware designer, and I REALLY do not like the metal snapdisk under tape style of button used for the power button, they do not have good life, and degrade with time.
Please post your results. May be worth a designed fix.

All my sleep/screen issues were resolved after re flashing clemsyn kernel on VEGan. I was not having any issue with TNT and moved to VEGAn and had issue every time the screen timed out.
When I would touch the power button it was either already powered off/rebooting, not waking up or not giving me the menu. Since kernel reflash, one quick push works every time.

Various roms/kernels and complete wipes have affected the problem, but none totally solved it. I'm looking for folks that currently have the problem to test this for me.
Also, if I'm on the right path, more and more gtabs are going to start to have sleep issues as the crappy buttons fail.
My wife's GTab worked flawlessly from the box for almost 2 months, now. Same kernel/rom as mine. But in the past week, she has started to get "the birds" when she pushes the power button. This trick works on hers, too.
Thanks!
Nobody else having wake from sleep issues? reboot instead of wake?
I had many sleep issues last week. Well, actually my Gtab (tnt 4.2.2), not me..
I found a temporary solution that works ok for me for a few days. Go to Android market and search for "Power Button" (there are paid version and free version). I use the free version.
Instead of pressing the POWER button to sleep or turn off the screen, I click on the "power button widget" to place my gtab to sleep. Then, I press the "VOLUME" button to turn it back on. Somehow, I found that the "POWER" button is either too sensitive or insensitive.
Good luck!
I too have had issues w/ the power button. Am currently testing sleep fixes, but really always thought in the back of my mind it might be a power button issue.
3 days ago I had my tab sitting in my Malata dock, set the alarm to wake up, went to bed 4 hrs later and my screen was black.
hit the volume rocker and no screen. hit the power button...no boot. held the power button...no change. kept pushing buttons randomly and tablet finally rebooted after 30 mins of dinking around w/ the buttons.
I also have issues w/ the power button getting pressed w/ my chest. sometimes it powers down, sometimes it goes to sleep.
tested w/ button pushing styles.
1. quick press will either put it to sleep, or give the prompt window. It's random.
2. long press will produce the same results.
3. quick press to go to sleep then quick press again to wake, then quick press gives option window of sleep or shut down.
cannot replicate any sequence as each type of press gives different results.
I was beginning to think my sleep issue was software, but it may seem to be an issue w/ the power button.
I wonder if its a memory leakage issue?
It happens to me but I assume its all the apps running, some trying to access the net while asleep . For me its not button related: its a crashed system. Sometimes reboot is longer.
this is a known issue. If you wait it eventually wakes up, reading over the dev change log this was mentioned. Not the button, but it might be if it keeps being over pressed

I have tried the "tap tap" app (power button) app + using the volumn to wake up my tablet. It has been working for a few days without any issues and around 50+ (sleep + wake).
I also noticed that I only have the issue when connected to power adapter.
Running from battery does not produce the issues above, only while connected to adapter.
That seems more like a hardware related power management issue.
I've only noticed the power off /sleep problem when docked.
I also have no idea how I get it to wake up, I usually just mash random buttons for a bit and it boots.

Same here, the tap tap app works great for me. It shouldn't be necessary, but it's not that big of a deal and something I can live with for the price I paid for the tablet.
I installed Tap Tap and it works great for going to sleep. How do you get the Volume to wake up the tab? Is there another app to install?

It seems that rebooting after sleep is depending on the what the apps do. On TNT 2.4 by roebeet, installing Google skymap will cause it to reboot when trying to resume from sleep.
On 4.2.5, installing TScalibration causes the same problem. I had to restore from a backup to fix it. It seems that if the app dives deep into the hardware, the problem occurs.

I didn't do anything, it just works that way, I hit the volume down key and the tablet wakes up...
I just got a new gTab and installed TnT Lite 4.3.2 last night. Anytime my screen turns off the device is done, I can't wake it back up. Tap Tap App turns the screen off but pressing the volume or power button doesn't bring it back. Just a long press on the power restarts the device.
I've run across something potentially interesting (or perhaps already known, speaking as a wooting noob), but I had Pandora playing once when I put my gtab to sleep and had the waking problem. I could still hear music, but no physical or capacitive button would wake the system back up. Ended up holding down the power button for a few seconds to turn off, then again to boot it.
I can't consistently reproduce the issue, but maybe it's a button problem more than a sleeping problem. btw this was on TnTL 4.3.2.

I just tried that and had the same issue. Music kept playing, clicking on the volume rocker would make the volume go up and down but nothing would bring the display back on.
I can reproduce this behavior anytime my screen turns off.
I wanted to update my experience... I've switched to running the cyanogenmod 7 beta2. The sleep issue has gone from something that happens anytime the screen turns off to being a random occurrence. I've gone an entire day without seeing it at all and the next day it has happened a couple times.
While I certainly agree that the power button is somewhat squirrely, I've found that installing "Load Monitor" and setting it up to prevent deep sleep remedies the sleep issue.
I just reflashed Vegan last night and had the "sleep of death" problem consistently. Put Load Monitor on and the issue goes away.
I find that on my infuse 4G, sometimes after the phone goes to sleep, when I press the power button to turn the phone back on, the display would not wake up. The phone would be on, since if I press the volume rocker, I would hear the volume up and down keys. The capacitive keys would not light up as well tho, or respond.
The only thing I can do is a battery pull. I can still call the phone tho, so I know phone has not crashed.
This happens to my infuse 4G regardless or rom, be it, stock, CM, Aeon, whatever. Prolly happens about once a week.
Another screen related issue is that sometimes, it would take the screen like 5 seconds to wake up. So you press power button, nothing happens, you think you didnt press it, and press it again. Then of course the screen turns off, registers the second press, turns it right off again. Drives me insane lol.

that is what we call SOD (or sleep of death) it is most common while using the LB3 modem, try flashing KL2 from here (if your not on JellyBean that is) if you on JB then download and flash the one from here. hope this helps
You can also try deleting any script in /system/etc/init.d that runs zipalign. As a first step just rename the init.d folder to something else.
