Phone will not go into sleep mode? - myTouch 4G General

So I'm going to be buying this phone as a short term, and "cheap" replacement for my current phone. I'm looking around on ebay, and I was able to find one for $140, however it says the phone will not go into sleep mode.
I'm assuming this is just a bug in the software, but I could be wrong. The guy says it turns off and on just fine, so I don't think its the power button, but, again, I could be wrong.
Has this happened to anyone else? If so, will flashing a new ROM fix it?
Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure what sleep mode means but if he says the hardware button works fine than Go for it lol. I had that issue and just reflashing cm7 did it for me

I'm assuming he means Screen Lock where the screen is off.
Yeah, I figured flashing CM7 or something would fix it, but I figured I'd ask before I got it and realized nothing would fix it.

If worse came to worse there's probably a way to remap the power function to a different key

[Q] Cannot Shut Down Goes Straight to Recovery Screen

I rooted my phone and am using the Leedroid rom. I tried to shut it down and can't seem to get it to stay off. It shuts off and then about 5 seconds later the CW Recovery screen pops up. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'll bet it's plugged in isn't it? It's a cwm bug or something. Unplug it and it will shut off.

Some people like to charge their phone while its off. Not a real solution. Hope someone knows a better solution.

I agree. Just sharing what I know of the issue.
Yeah but that's the whole idea. I want to shut it down and charge it. It shatges quicker that way. I did unplug it and it worked likeyou said. Defeats the purpose though. Haha

I don't think there is a solution, I'm pretty sure this is just a problem with the recovery. I'm not sure if koush could fix it or not. It might just be one of those things where if you want clockwork recovery, you gotta live with the bug. I'll take clockwork.

Mine only does it when the phone it plugged in. It stays off when it isn't
I also have this problem. I usually turn off my phone before bed time.
Rooted a few days ago, and this issue sucks. Will clockwork ever get fixed to solve this problem?

Reset my phone and now its messed up

ok so umm I have this problem on my phone. My volume was messed up, it would automatically start decreasing at random, So I thought maybe resetting it would fix it.
So when I reset it, I get this messed up screen that Ive never seen in my life before, it was like

also none of the lights are on
I dont see what I did wrong, I didnt download anything stupid... whats going on? ;__; PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEEEE help me, im so confused right now! The only thing I do wrong is over charge it alot, is that why? WAIT, DID I GET HACKED OR SOMTHING?? (Why didnt I buy that iPhone...)
( I read some other posts similar but I had no idea what people were talking about.... like download stuff onto your phone to fix it? how the heck do I do that???)
Your volume down button is pressed. When you reboot the phone while holding volume down it takes you to the bootloader. See if the button is jammed in. If so, try tapping the phone against your palm to unstick it.

Ohhhhh, I see. (your saving my life right now btw)
How do I un-jam it? Ive tried that and out of the 142903480 times, twice I got some bit of green text under the 5 selections, I wasnt able to catch what it said cause it dissapeared 2 seconds after.
Oh and the power button isnt working because when I click power to select the first option (the fastboot thing,whatever that does...) It only worked right when this problem happend, and after that It wont do anything D:

I think so. ... So the only thing wrong with it was the buttons or somthing?
You're just stuck in bootloader. You should still have a ROM installed to boot to (if you didn't wipe that when you reset). Should be able to battery pull and boot normally.
Oh wait, it thinks you're holding volume when powering on cuz your button is stuck. That is hardware failure. You may, actually, have to use insurance, or your provider may even swap it out for fairly cheap if it was purchased fairly recently.

CMX Hangs

Every once in awhile I'll notice my Sensey's soft keys are lit up and I can't do anything on the phone. pressing the lock/wake button does nothing and I need to do a battery pull to get into my phone again. Holding the lock/wake key doesn't even reboot at all.
Is this a firmware or kernel problem? Any fixes?
(I realize that I worded that terribly, my apologies.)
-Matthew
It could be a software issue, I say this because this has happened to me on different roms, then when I flashed a different Rom the issue was solved. I'm not sure other than flashing a different Rom, how to remedy the situation. In my case this is how I fixed it when that happened to me. You might want to post this on the Rom developers site and see if others are experiencing the same issue. Perhaps they might have a fix if it's a known problem. I wish you the best ! Hopefully you can remedy this situation easily. I'm fairly certain flashing a different Rom will cure the issue. At least it did in my situation. Good luck and I hope this helped.

Um...I'm sure you're new to this.
The bug aren't fully fixed yet. Reboots and hangs are obviously expected.
Nothing wrong with Kernel cuz there's no jellybean kernel for us YET.
So the ROMs are still buggy.
I suggest you wait a week or 2 for all bug fixes.
Meanwhile, try a Sense ROM or an ICS aosp based ROM. :sly:

Alright, fair enough.
I wouldn't consider myself new to this at all. I've had my sensation since September last year and I've done my fair share of flashing and helping others out. I just thought I'd ask because I didn't see it discussed anywhere and thought I was the only one having this particular issue. I searched the ROM thread and found nothing and I searched this Q&A forum and didn't find anything so I thought I'd ask. Is that so wrong?

I just meant that I've been out of the flashing scene for about a year until recently and this phone has a different method, plus the fact that it took me 2 days to get everything backed up, set back up how I like, etc. I've lost my nerve I guess. I used to be a serial flasher of roms back in the Eris days. New rom that nobody's tried yet? Sure thing. These days I'm even hesitant to flash something if it's tried and true and nobody is seeing any problems. Plus the fact that my hardware is messed up. (I dropped it in water twice by accident and the screen also broke in a separate incident)

Damn, still working after water twice, nice! Just do a backup before, so if you don't like it, you can restore everything you had. And, if your S-ON, remember to flash boot.img separately.

Sounds like a Chrome issue maybe. I haven't touched any GPS items yet, so its either Chrome, or something T-Mobile jacked up.

Are you pressing it quickly or holding it for a few seconds. Mine works perfectly, but you should be pressing Power+Volume Down, which is stock for this ROM.

Anyone having an issue with web page links in text messages FCing the messaging app?

A quick question for the knowledgeable guys at XDA

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
