Usually my Zeki tablet wakes from sleep after pressing the power button but a few days ago I installed some updates (Music EQ (boosts volume), GMD GestureControl, gmail, Ivona Text to Speech) and since then I have had problems with my Zeki not waking up when pressing the power button. But the unusual circumstance that I am having is that it seems that this problem occurs predominantly when I have had the tablet in my pocket for a period of time. I can have the tablet just sitting for hours without it in my pocket many times and it works fine but as soon as I put it in my pocket and leave it there for several minutes when I take it out and turn it on it does not wake up and I have to hold the power button for several seconds and power it back up (it seems to turn off and then I have to turn it back on). I have reset the tablet and wiped everything including the cache after having tried just unintalling programs with no succes. But even with a clean slate it is still having this issue. I remembered that there was a program called Screen Notifications that can tell from the proximity sensor whether or not the table is in your pocket. I do not have this program installed but I am wondering if there is something weird that happened that has to do with the proximity sensor since this seems to happen only when I have it in my pocket. So this does not seem to be the typical problem I see many others having with sleep/wake issues. Anyone have any ideas?
new info on problem
I have since learned that the problem occurs when I am moving around for a short period of time and the tablet is in my pocket. I do not think I have a proximity sensor (sorry, I'm a little ignorant about these things) in my Zeki tablet so I don't think it is related to that but maybe its related to some other hardware mechanism that can sense when you have it in your pocket (and perhaps seses body movement?) I know it sounds crazy but if I am sitting with it in my pocket for a while it works fine but as soon as I start moving around with it in my pocket for a short period of time it is as if it turns itself off. Hoping someone can explain this behaviour.

I have been experiencing a periodic problem where the screen on my Fuze will be on, and it will not dim or go to sleep. Even if I press the power button it does not shut off. So the screen stays on completely and will, of course, eventually wear the battery down. While this is happening, it is not frozen - I can still use TF3D. The only way to get the screen to go off is to do a soft reboot, after which it will perform normally (including the power booting working like it should). This happens about once a day.
This generally seems to happen when the phone is charging. When I unplug it, the bar at the top still shows the phone as connected to the power. I also notice that the battery seems a little warmer than usual at the times when charging causes this to happen.
In searching the forum I found one other user who had this issue, but did not see any fixes. Coincidentally or not, that other user was using Blackberry Connect, which I am also.
Anybody else have this problem? If so, any proposed solution?
While I am at it, I have a Blackberry Connect issue as well. The phone will periodically (usually, but not always, in the middle of the night) just stop receiving Blackberry Connect e-mails, even though everything in the Blackberry software looks normal. Again, I need to soft reboot to fix it. If anybody has experienced this or has a solution, it would be helpful also.
Thanks in advance.
my button seams to have quit working all together, soft reset doesnt help, tryed the hard reset mabe im,doing it wrong. it never ressets data basicly has the same efect as a soft reset.
not sure if its a hardware or software issue at this point. it randomly pops up the are you sure you want to quit txt.
Battory compleatly drained overnight, put it on chager and power button works again. No settings where lost that i see, kind of rules out a hardware issue.
Hi guys,
When I get a message the phone vibrates 3 times, like normal. But sometimes randomly it vibrates 1 time and then unlimited vibration. Until I get it out of my pocket and press the powerbutton so the screen goes on again. When the screen is on again the phone resumes the 2 vibrates. Very strange. I had it on multiple roms with different radio's. I don't use TF3D but HTC Home Plugin VGA edition.
I've experienced the same issue you speak of with the stock ROM, and I haven't found a solution or cause yet either.
I think it was this what caused my phone to sometimes go out. Because the vibration consumed all the power.
Do you use Touch Flo?

That would be the angry bee. It is something that just happens. I've had it so bad that I have had to soft reset the phone. It only happens to me every great once in a while. However, I haven't run the stock rom since about 2 hours after buying the phone.
has happened to me twice now.
ive had the phone about 2 months.

I've had it happen to me a few times and had to soft reset it to make it stop. It doesn't happen too often, so I haven't been too worried about it.
I've had it happen when I launch an application just as it is starting to vibrate to signal a notification.
Do you guys also always have it as the second vibration? When it hangs it always is the second vibration at me. And when I press the screen again he makes 2 after it again.
I had a similar issue with the initial stock rom - my wife messaged me in the middle of a meeting and my phone would not STOP VIBRATING. Since it was on the desk, it buzzbuzzbuzzed really loud.
Now I'm on the Energy 3.0 rom and have not had an issue. Even with the updated leaked stock rom I didn't have the issue.
I discover that it only vibrates wrongly when I have the screen off. Pretty annoying though.
Don't we use some kind of stuff in common?
I use:
HTC Home VGA Edition for front end instead of manilla
HomeScreen++ for the handy shortcuts
I checked some things again, I am not 100% sure but I think it was HomeScreen++ that caused the problems here. The exact settings: at the Tools tab "Lock if Display is Off and vice versa, which didn't work anyway at the touch pro (did work on htc's I had before though), but I checked it off and now it still rings 3 times and no less or more. Hope this was it.
I do not use HomeScreen++ and it happens to me at least once a day, sometimes twice. Mine always seems to happen on the third vibrate, it will do the first two and then the third one just stays on. I press the power button for the screen to come back on and it stops.
I have it too sometimes.
EnergyRom 3.0
And you guys have something that auto lock the screen when you press the power off button? Or do you lock the screen before pressing the power button? Because here it seems to have something to do with the locking in combination of the standby mode (screen off)
The problem is like this:
SOMETIMES when I call someone, the screen turns off without approaching the phone to my ear. The screen is not turning off by pressing the power button or the volume buttons (I enabled using GravityBox to turn on the screen using the volume keys).
After I end up the call, after a couple of seconds, the phone comes back to normal.
Once again, this behavior appears just SOMETIMES! Usually I don't have this problem!
Any ideas to how so solve this problem?

I wouldn't worry too much about it, its just a glitch, it happens to me sometimes too , when i put it on speaker and i get close to the phone , the screen turns off and it comes back after a while. it doesn't bother me too much. It might be that the sensor is too sensitive. Have you tried a custom rom ?
This issue happens to my son's phone too.
Anyway, it shouldn't be random, please double check if it happens ALWAYS after a phone reboot, this is the behaviour of mine
I want the moderator to ban me.
display issue
Hello,
I have started to face the same issue mentioned above.
On googling I came across the motorola forum (google search: Moto G Proximity Sensor Software Issue)
It seems the issue is being discussed there and apparently they need more moto g users with this issue to help them out solve this.
On using z device i noticed the proximity sensor value stuck at 3 with no change covered/not covered (sensor) [Phone running without restart for 6+ hours]
After restarting the phone the sensor value in z device changes. 100 (uncovered) to 3 when covered.
I will keep checking this every few hours to see when does the proximity sensor stop working without restarting the phone. (uptime)
Can the DEV's here help us out? looks like Motorola may take some time in finding a solution to this issue.
This seems to have went away with 4.4.3 and the new Dialer app.
Strange problem that happened to me twice:
The power and the volume button stop response, I can open the phone with fingerprint but the touch does not function, so I don’t have any option to use the phone. The only way I found to use the phone is to get a phone call, this wake up everything.
I am not sure, but maybe this problem happened whenever I have no cellular reception.
Had anybody faced such problem?
Update: it happened also when I tried to run AOD. So seem that something is overheated whenever the phone work hard for long time.
My z-flip3 5g has a strange problem. If i close it (by folding the screen closed), then after opening (unfolding) the screen and touching the right side button/fingerprint reader to unlock it, i hear the quiet "click" noise that indicates the phone is unlocked, but the screen stays black. i then have to repeatedly push the lock button on the right to lock the phone again and unlock it again. after several attempts the screen finally turns on. sometimes it will go black a few seconds later and the same issue continues. but other times the screen will stay on and work fine.
i have noticed that if i do not close the phone (folding the screen together) then i do NOT encounter this issue. the phone screen turns on when pushing the right side button (or touching the fingerprint sensor) and everything works fine.
this issue started yesterday, a system update installed yesterday as well, could it be related?
i already restarted many times, booted into recovery mode and wiped the cache. nothing has helped. the only way to avoid the problem is by not closing (folding the screen shut) the phone.

I have same behavior. Did you solve this problem?
Unfortunately no. Did a factory reset, hoping that would help, but the issue persists
Mine has recently started doing the same. Last update was right before this started several weeks ago. I don't have mine set to require fingerprint, it should just turn on after opening. If I open it partway, it will turn on, then turn back off when fully opened.
hi,
i have same problem, it's software problem?
Not completely sure about that. They update this thing so often, it could be coincedence that it started shortly after an update. I want to try blowing out the hinges as I've got some dust under there that I hear when opening the phone. Definitely not a phone to put in your pocket after working in the wood shop!

and don´t take it to the beach either!
What is also strange is that when I close the phone and open it a few seconds later, there is no issues whatsoever. However, if I leave it closed a few minutes, then when opening it, the problems with the screen staying off happen.
Yes, definitely don't take it to the beach!
@netridah , mine is doing exactly that. Which makes me wonder is it a wake issue, or a mechanical/sensor issue with the hinge.
one more to the bill
I checked the flexes and I warmed up the logic nothing works
I have the same issue: Flip 3 - 5G with OneUI 5.1 - 1 April Patch level
When I open the phone I eventually see for less than one second the lock screen, the goes black and unresponsive.
Then I have to press the button to turn the screen off (even if it is already) and then re-press the button or use the fingerprint to turn it on and it will work (eventually, sometime I have to do it a couple of times).
I already googled it on many forums but no solutions, I've tried to:
Disable the always-on display - no result, at first looked like it did the trick but the day after was having the same issue.
Check all the updates of the system components like always on-on display (settings --> lock screen --> always on display --> info), no help everything is up to date.
Hi,
I have the exact same problem, only difference is that I'm on the z flip 4.
I get the black screen and sometimes when opening or closing the phone the screen can flash in a bright yellow or green color.
I got a motherboard but the problem continued
Next step changing screen is very expensive at the moment
This is driving me crazy - also started the day I updated to OneUI 5.1.
Hoping for a solution soon!
I am also encountering this problem, I went to samsung repair shop 1 month out of warranty, sales person said it is a screen issue and needs to be replaced for 430$. Mine was before the update, i took mine near the pool, got wet maybe, as the alarm for usb charging mentioned unplug it immediately, day after it began randomly dark when phone is openned fully. Zflip 3
Oh just an update, i did some tinkering today, Good lock all updated, disabled clockface, sprayed some contact cleaner on power button, and hinges, fold close and open for a minute or two, fell asleep for 1 hour, and when I woke up, my screen works back to normal, it wakes up when unfolded, no more waiting or hitting the power button several times. hope this stays like this.

Hi, few days now, I still have occasional blacking out, I've tried putting my phone on safe mode, and this seems to solve the problem. I suspect it may not be hardware fault, but 3rd party software, "good lock" or something else that conflicts wit one ui, that makes the flipping open lag waking up. Contact cleaner used for electrical stuff
Didnt use my z3 for about a week let the battery drain.. then charged it too 100% without turning on the phone.. my phone back to normal now.. hope it works for you guys
Hello,
I am using Z Flip 4 and last night I started having this problem as well. I can confirm 100% that my phone has no hardware nor a history of impact of any sort that's why it's really frustrating having this kind of problem.
Has anyone already found a resolution for this problem?
Z flip 4 here also. Had the same problem with the screen. Took the phone to Samsung and they changed the screen, frame and back panel's for free under warranty.
They said it's a hardware issue.
So better to take the phone to Samsung.
