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.

So I've had my fuze a little over a year now, no major issues. Used mostly energyroms, but about December time I switched back to a simple non-bloated stock rom for the stability.
Anyway today at work I was texting, and I press the power button to put the phone in standby. And the screen remains on and usable. I tried again and it would not go into standby (power button physically feels normal, it does not feel loose or abnormal.) So i let it sit for a few minutes, then i look at it and a message poped up asking if i wanted to turn the phone off (like as if i was holding the power button)so i press no, then it comes up again a few seconds later and aagain and again. So I soft reset the phone.
The phone resets but takes a LOT longer at the att/htc splashscreen, then it hangs at the htc screen and does not make it to the wimo screen, but instead an error screen saying:
"The device is unable to boot because you have either turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an applicationa from an untrusted source, press SEND to reset your device or press any other button to cancel..."
I think it went through the hard reset this time because when it restarted it asked to calibrate the screen and install stuff. it resets again sometime after that, still takes forever at the splash screen and comes back up to the error, only this time no matter what button i press it wont go away and boot into wimo. It seems like none of my buttons work (they wont light up now) when i slide out the keyboard, it is not lit up like normally.
And heres the kicker, my only way to turn on/off the phone is to take out/put in the battery. As soon as I pop the battery back in the fuze turns on. Is my phone toast? Ive tried to hard reset and the phone does not reach the bootloader, it goes straight to the splash screen. Same with trying to reflash it from my comp, raphealwrapper cannot find my phone.
I've only recently encountered the exact same problem on my Touch Pro, but stock ROM and everything. As far as I can tell, our power buttons are busted and probably need to be serviced. One of the contacts must be stuck in the 'on' position somewhere inside :\ As a temporary fix, I've been using AEButton Plus and remapped double tap end call key to turn the screen off, and removing the stylus to turn it on.
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.
My Sensation has the Revolution HD3.6.2 by Mike. I started having issues with my sleep button where it would stop responding occasionally until eventually it would stop responding altogether when the phone was on and I could not put to sleep or wake up at all. Now, if I plug into charger with battery out then install battery it will not boot automatically or with holding power button at all. When removing charger it will boot automatically because the phone thinks the power button is always depressed. I have taken the phone case off and cleaned the area many times and it physically clicks normal with no response. I was going to try an updated ROM to see if this was a programming issue however since the phone thinks the power button is always depressed I can not use ROM manager, right when I click down or up it automatically loads that option. The rest of the phone works perfectly and do not want to replace due to a failed sleep/power button, are there options to working around the power button or anything else I should be doing?
Thanks
So I have a bricked Sensation?

ok then
It's not bricked. Don't worry software is fine. Sounds like a hardware fault that the power button contact has worn out.
I appear to have trouble with my device's power button. I have a Pantech Sky Vega Racer 2 A830S which I took out of the box after a month in storage. It seemed okay the first few hours, but I started to notice that I could NOT put the phone into sleep when pressing on the power button once. It works like 1/10 presses. Sometimes, it even seems to do an extended hold even after just pressing once since the "power off, restart and sound profiles" popup appears.
Thankfully, the power button isn't doesn't seem to have a problem when the phone is off. When the phone is off, I can turn on the phone 100% of the time. Heck, when I remove the battery for a few minutes and turn on the phone again, the power button functions perfectly and I can sleep and wake with just a single press, no matter how fast I do it. Half an hour later it starts going haywire again. It appears this problem is truly isolated to when the phone is turned on. What could the problem be? It doesn't appear to be the physical power button mechanism. Could it be the battery or something power related shorting the buttons or something? The problem seems to be electrical in nature and I'm at the end of my wits here.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

hw button got jammed!!
try cleaning it up
be carefull!!!
Yeah I'd get some can air for computers and spray it. You may just have a piece of dirt lodged in there. In the mean time you could download an app that can put your device to sleep when you click on it I believe.

Hi, my S3 has a problem in that if the screen turns off and I immediately (well, fairly soon) press the home button or side power button to wake it up again.. there is a very long delay... so much that I only use the home button now, because I keep clicking the side button and often by the time the screen wakes up, it will have gone back to sleep because I had pressed the power button again.
So now I use home because home will not turn the screen off, only on.
Anyhow I'm sure it must be due to some app doing some processing when the screen goes off...
my question is, how do I track down the app? I have no idea which one it is
I have no problem to get the screen to turn on immediately, if some time has passed... let's say 30 seconds.. but often you need to turn the screen back on after it has timed out, so it's annoying to have to wait 10 seconds after immediately pressing the button.
btw. I use Cyanogenmod (android 4.3) but I don't think it's the cause because I don't remember this behaviour when I first installed it.
any ideas? thanks

I'm interested as well, I really wish samsung would improve the wake time on their phones. My HTC turned on without delay
