Phone Wake Up Problem - General Questions and Answers

From two days, my phone is making me psycho. The problem is that it doesnt wake up when it is in idle mode. The screen will not glow up unless you press power button at least 4 to 5 times. This happened with the Stock ROM then i flashed a custom ROM and it is the same in custom rom too. Please help!
EDIT:
SOLVED. Taking out the sd card sort it out.

Phone doesnt wake from sleep

I just switched to my Touch Pro 2 and flashed Energy Cookie 2.5 GTX. I'm at work so I cant flash back to the stock rom or I would. Its also difficult for me to search the forum because everytime i want to use my phone I have to reset it
Basically what is happening is that once I hit the power button or the phone puts itself to sleep, it will not wake back up without being rebooted. If i press the power button then the back key, the four keys at the bottom light up. Also if I open the slide out keyboard the phone makes the xylophone noise. So its waking everything but the screen. I dont think its hardware because the screen comes back to life when you hit reset. It has to be a software issue.
Can anyone help me with this so I can get through this day lol? I would greatly appreciate it!

Try preforming a task29 and then re-flashing. Make sure to back up your data as this will erase the device memory.
Not to long read this posting : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648134
it called SOD = Sleep of Death, and as cajunflavoredbob suggest, do task29 first, everytime you want to flash a ROM.

[Q] Screen won't wake up?

My screen would not wake up, I flashed Cyanogen Mod, the latest version, but as soon as my screen goes off and I tried to wake it, it'll just stay in a lighted black screen forever, nothing happens, it wont wake or respond to buttons so I have to pull battery. It didn't happen on just this rom, I tried other roms as well. And same results, is it my phone or rom? I just got the phone today.
Which rom are you running? And did you flash a custom kernel?
Try a complete wipe and reflashing, but don't restore any apps, if you do, and see if the problem persists.

I was running the latest version of Cyanogenmod. And no, I did not flash a custom kernel. I've already tried a complete wipe and flashed the rom like so many times. Like Cyanogenmod would install, but as soon as I put the phone to sleep and I hit the home button to try to wake it, it would be stay as a lighted black screen. The phone is responding to the button but it seems like the screen would not go on, the light for the 4 buttons lights up, but the screen doesn't display anything, just backlight. Please help, this is confusing me.
Set the phone to not sleep, it will just dim the light to near 0% brightness. I used to have this problem too on some nightlies and stable cm releases even and doing the above worked for me. I also bumped minimum cpu speed to 500-800 instead of 300, which lagged too much imho.

You say you press the home button when you turn the screen off and the buttons light up? Or did you mean when you pressed the power button?
When I press on the power button to wake it up, it just gives me a black screen. However the buttons light up when I touch them just the screen wont display anything.

That happened to me once. Did you wipe "system" in CWM before installing the rom?
Same Issue
Did you ever find a fix for this problem? My G2x just stopped coming on and I never changed any settings or anything. I've wiped davlik & user data; installed stock and custom roms, but every time the screen turns off the power button fails to wake the phone up. No lights flash or anything. I've found others who have the same problem but I haven't discovered any solutions. I'm guessing this must be a hardware problem since the power button does work to initially turn on the device and lock it but can't wake it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm currently running a rooted stock rom with the v21y BB that's been ICS-ified

I've found this issue to exist of literally EVERY build of CM that I've every used on ANY android device. I can't stand it. I finally stopped flashing CM all together because I hate not being able to wake up my device. NO OTHER ROM has done this before. Doesn't matter the model. Here's all the models that exibit this behavior that I've tested with.
Kindle Fire - CM9, CM10 and CM10.1
Galaxy 7 tab 2 - CM10, CM10.1 and CM10.2
Samsung Epic 4g (Galaxy S1) - CM7, CM9, CM10, CM10,1
Galaxy S3 Sprint- CM10, CM10.1
Galaxy S4 Sprint - CM10, CM10.1 and now CM10.2
That's very interesting. CM... I ended up sending the phone to LG to fix. I have a GS2 now so I gave the phone to my father. It runs great now.
sulotion to screen not waking up on cyanogenmod
I was having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy note 2. I'm running cyanogenmod 11. I solved the issue by going into setting then display and lights and unchecking proximity wakeup. I hope this can help someone else.
Thank you a lot man! I was really in panic mode.
Not Waking up
This problem started once I have upgraded to official Lollipop. When I press the power button, the screen doesn't wake-up immediately. I had to press many times the power button to get the screen comes.

[Q] Screen freeze

Over the last couple of days I have been having an issue with the sensation. I can boot up the phone and have full access to the boot loader.
The problem occurs when I leave the phone in standby for a while. The phone will become un-responsive and wont turn ont at all.
I was running the latest RCMix rom and everything was fine. I then decided to install j4n87's tweaks I know it is for a newer base but I just wanted to try it. Ever since I installed the tweaks the phone hangs when the screen is turned off.
I have tried full wipe and reinstall of everything but cant fix the issue.
Even noticed that if I pull the battery and power it back on the screen will stay black. You can hear sounds see button lights and power light but nothing on the screen. It then takes a couple of attempts of using adb reboot to get the screen to come back on again.
Any Ides.
Just tried flashing stock rom fro ruu same issue.
Edit 1:
Hmm I am wondering is my SD card causing the issue. With it in the phone when the phone is on stand by the freeze will occur in a couple of minutes. On the stock rom with the SD card out I am able to leave the phone in stand by for 10+ minutes and it is waking with out any issues. I will try it with ICS to see how it behaves.
Edit 2:
Interesting: it does look as if it is the SD card causing the problem. I restored my RCMix ICS rom and left the card out of the phone, with the phone on. I left it on standby for half an hour and it woke up with out any issues. Looks as if I could be getting a new SD card!

[Q] Sleep of death on Nexus S

Hi,
My girlfriend accidentally dropped her nexus s in the water recently. I was quick to pull the battery out and put the phone in rice for a good 12 hours. The phone still works as before, except for one thing : whenever it goes to sleep (by pressing the button or by itself) it's over, need a reboot (usually reboots by itself).
Is there something I can do, or do you think it's caused by water damage and therefore can't be fixed? I tried going back with a factory reset, but still the same.
I'm asking this because other than the SoD, the phone works just as before. If I put the screen timeout to 30 minutes it will work just as good before. Maybe can I change the sleep level when screen turns off? Or flashing Jelly Bean / CM10.1 would be enough? (It's not rooted for now, and it's a replacement phone, if I could let it unrooted it would be cool, but if not, I'll try that way).
Thanks!
PS : I can't return it for a replacement, because the little moisture detector is now partly pink. And anyway it's already a replacement for her Galaxy S3 (the power button was not working anymore).
Have you tried flashing other ROM? Seems a software failur to me.
I guess Flashing Stock firmware again or another rom may fix the problem.
Yea download CM10 then in settings under display scroll down & check off the option to wake the device with volume rocker then go to system in settings look for notification draw go in there make sure power widgets is checked then select some widget shortcut option pick the first one which is go to sleep & there your good now you can wake up the phone with volume button & instead of pressing power to shut it off you press go to sleep option in your notification .

Mi 4i Wake Up Lag After Flashing cm-12.1-20150815-UNOFFICIAL-ferrari.zip

Wake Up Lag after flashing cm-12.1-20150815-UNOFFICIAL-ferrari.zip
I have flashed cm-12.1-20150815-UNOFFICIAL-ferrari.zip.
Everything looks fine, but the wake-up lags quite seriously.
When I press the power key to wake up the phone,
the hardware key lights up, but the screen is still black.
After 5-8 seconds the screen may show up but then it goes off quickly.
Now I have to long press the power key,
then the reboot menu will come out, and the screen can then keep on.
But it's quite stupid.
I have flashed also the RazorReborn kernel but problem still exists.
If the problem cannot be solved, I may need to flash back to the MIUI rom to try again.
