Hey,
A few days ago my G2X started acting pretty weird. It keeps going back to the home screen, or to an in app menu on it's own. So I'll be in the app drawer, and all the sudden it will close back to the home screen. Or I'm playing FieldRunnersHD, and the game just closes out to the home screen (as if I pressed the home button). Or if I'm playing AngryBirds it will go to the pause screen (as if I pressed the back button). Or if I'm playing Hex Defense it will go to the menu (also as if I pressed the back button). It happens about once every 2-3 minutes. I am running rooted stock and very confused. I'll I've tried is restarting the phone, I've got no idea what else to try. Anybody have any ideas?
[Q] G2x constantly going Back or to Home Screen. Any ideas?
Have you tried to do a master reset and then re-root the phone? Usually that will do the trick but even I'm kinda still getting used to the G2X. It worked for me.
It suddenly started happening to me as well but its only when I'm using the browser. I'm unrooted so I'm sure rooting is not the issue..

I have been having odd power button issues since updating to 2.3.4. It is almost like it is getting stuck or something.
Sometimes when I hit the power button to turn off the screen, the screen goes off for half a second then comes back on. This also happens when going from off to on (i.e. flicker on then back off), but it seems rarer.
Sometimes when I hit the home button (and just the home button), it takes a screenshot like I am hitting the button as well even though I am not.
All of this is fixed by just hitting the power button a few times.
Needless to say it is annoying. I thought it might be something mechanical, but I took the case off the back and the issue still occurred. It also seems like the button is clicking then unclicking (i.e. not getting stuck). I had no issues prior to updating to 2.3.4.
Anyone else had this happen or know a fix or workaround?
Yes! I have the same exact problem after the update!!
Glad to see I'm not the only one.
It's very annoying.
My backlight turns on by itself randomly and often if you press the power button to turn the screen off, it goes off then comes back on or flickers on and off. The power button doesnt always turn the screen back on either.
It also gets stuck where I press the home screen and it keeps taking pictures.
HTC better fix this!

I have the exact same problem too since upgrading! I have disabled the screenshot function in build.prop but that only stops the repeated screenshots part of the problem. The main problem with the power button still persists.
I'm having this too, its come and gone to different extents - pretty sure it was happening a bit before the update though.
I'm worried it is mechanical, I couldn't get it to happen with the back cover off but it could have just been coincidence. I can live with having to press the button again every so often but the screenshot thing annoys the hell out of me!
Since the update I've experienced an issue with my power button as well. Sometimes when I hit the button to turn the screen on, nothing happens. At first I thought it was just me but it happens at least a couple of times a day and never happened before the update.
I don't normally turn my screen off by pressing the power button so I can't report on that. Guess I should count my blessing that the screen shot function is not acting up.
Thanks for posting cause was beginning to think it was just me.
FIX!
I found a fix for this, in your build.prop remove the framework line for screen shots and then go in recovery and whipe cache partition twice as well as dalvic twice!
Cheers!

I've just tried this twice but the problem still persists. Sure the screenshot issue is gone but the powering on and off the display is still intermittent.

I was having the same problem with the power button and was thinking it was hardware thanks for the heads up..
am I like the only one without this problem >.< lol. lucky me
I have this same problem too, I believe its connected to the screenshots but i don't know how to turn it off easily (how do I get into build prop?)
This is definitely after the update, I had absolutely no problems with the power button prior to the update.
I don't have any power button isues at all on my European Sensation (2.3.4 still S-On yet). Playing around it just for a week. But the Screenshot thing is a feature not a bug!
Just press <power button> + <Home> to take a screenshot. I like it.
I just starting having this issue yesterday too. Thought it was my power button getting stuck but good to see it's not a hardware problem and hopefully HTC fixes this.

I think you're right. As a test, I used AntTek App Manager to freeze "Scribble" which is also known as com.htc.mysketcher and I haven't had the issue yet. I believe this component is responsible for monitoring for the key combo for taking screenshots. Certainly, after freezing it, the Power+Home combo no longer works for taking screenshots.

I have just tried this but I still have the issue. Sometimes the power button won't wake up the screen and sometimes when I power off the screen it only stays off for a second and then lights up again.
I have this issue too, but I don't think it is software related problem.
It is, as the phone sometimes recognize a power button click as 2 clicks (screen goes off and on).
To see what I mean, go to Recovery and try to navigate through menus - when you're clicking power to enter any menu, sometimes you jump back, as if you were clicking "Go back"...
So, if the issue is even in Recovery mode, so it is not software related. I even restored my stock 2.3.3. soft and the issue is still there. I think it's a mechanical defect

I have noticed this too now in recovery.
Same here, I never had this issue before, but now after upgrading to this new 2.3.4, I'm having the same issue .

The strange thing is, I even downgraded to 2.3.3 and I still have the problem. I have even flashed stock HBOOT and Recovery but the problem remains. I just don't understand it because it certainly wasn't happening before I upgraded.
Add one more person to the screenshot-club. Haven't had any other problems, but sometimes the phone just keeps taking screenshots when I'm pressing the home key. Extremely annoying, but luckily this is usually solved by tapping the power button. Ofc afterwards you have to clean your gallery of useless pictures... Argh!

I use a rooted sensation and I have experienced that same problem on one ROM. If the problem is really that bad, try going the rooted way.

I have the stock 'v10c' ROM on a 'Rogers' LG Optimus 3D.
This morning I was using the Google+ Android client and - without closing the app - pushed the power button to put the phone to sleep and put it in my pocket.
About 15 mins later I pulled the phone out of my pocket and it was dark, but the touch countrols were all lit up. I know that usually isn't good news. The phone was unresponsive.
I pulled the battery and tried to re-boot. It gets to the Rogers screen and then boot-loops, with a flash of the Rogers screen each time it restarts a cycle. Roughly 15 seconds apart.
I did vol+down+Power (guessing based on other phones) and it booted into a recovery (3e) menu that only offered me the chance to wipe all user data. Ok. I moved the cursor down using vol+down and sletected "yes" with Home. The phone then presented a triangle logo and the green android and sat there.
Meanwhile...I Googled. After about 10 mins I pulled the battery again and did the Vol+down+3D button+Power boot to the REAL recovery menu.
I then did a wipe / factory reset from the recovery menu. I have assumed the Home button is the enter button (BTW).
Again the triangle and the green android appear. They are still there 10 mins later.
Not sure what to do now...the phone won't boot and the factory reset won't fix it. But it isn't dead. I can still get to recovery, so in theory this is fixable. I just don't have time for it right now. :-/
I was wondering if maybe the phone had updated OTA in my pocket and I didn't realise it and I may have messed up the process. But I have never seen a phone do an OTA update without first notifying the user and seeking confirmation...so I that probably isn't the case.
Very annoying.
I'm posting this here in case anyone else has the same experience.
Anyone have any advice?
[Update: The Menu button is the enter button...not Home. So I did a real factory reset and the phone now boots to the "Welcome to your new phone" screen. *WHEW!*]
Uhmm... if Menu button is home button that means u have problem with build.prop. I never met with this kind of problem, however I think u just should turn on usb mode in cwm, put a ROM on phone, flash it and see how this will be. Don't forget to backup ur rom.

Hi there,
I've got the same problem with my LG P920.
Then I read your thread and now I can tell you how to fix...
The recovery is the right way to fix, but the homebutton is not the menu button.
You have use the Options Button the first from the left side or the 3d-button.
Than you came to factory default and you can restart youre device.
best regreads

Anyone know the glitch that is causing this?

This happends too often now , any ideas how to fix it ?
It's a bit hardcore but you can try with a Clear data of HTC Sense or a Factory data reset.

Rosie/HTC Sense is crashing. Check free space available, do some clear data as said above and try to recall the first time it happened (if it started after you installed some widget or an application, remove that widget/application and try to reproduce).
Hey Guys, I'd Like to ask a question , very weird going on about my device... Only one time I got that Lovely Icon (exclamation mark) with a phone sign followed by a computer, yes that means that i am in download mode, i fixed it but once i got passed that small error my phone has been acting up.. I've tried CM10 keeps restarting by itself once in a while, I had tried going COMPLETELY going to stuck by using a Youtube video on how to unbrick it... NO luck. This time it freezes up and all applications become unresponsive, Facebook FORCECLOSE and other apps& and restarts, once is in the home screen i hold the power button and i only get one option "POWER OFF" its very weird because I remeber there was "DATA IS SET "ON" ETC, other settings in the phone had been re-enabled for ex. haptic feedback vibration. i had that turned off and it came back on by itself, second setting is the lock screen i cant set up a lock setting because once i press the unlock button and wait about 5 seconds it would go directly to the home screen W/O asking to enter to any patter. I tried gingerbread 2.3.6, with this rom all apps are UNAVAILABLE.. YES they dont open up.. EVEN facebok.. I took out the battery, turned it back on, and once it gets to the "rethink possible" keeps restarting the att motion until it finally restarts the whole phone and it keeps doing this.. I wanted to ask you guys if my phone is bricked or something because is really annoying. Thanks !
A brick would be where you wouldn't be able to boot up. A virus would be wiped out when flashing a new rom. When installing a new rom, did you also format /system? Sometimes that irons out some bugs. Maybe doing a wipe on your dalvik and cache seperatly could help.
