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.
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 .

A XDA user, ptr347 says he fixed power button of his nexus s with an electrical cleaner.

As the title states, occasionally my screen won't wake up from sleep and the only way to turn it back on is to hold the power button down until it reboots. It seems that it happens when I leave the phone in sleep mode for an hour or two. I've been using the OnePlus one for only half a day and I've already encountered this problem twice. Is there a way to fix this?
Update your ROM, do a factory reset or flash a different ROM.
There's really no way of telling what's causing it with the info you've given but one of the above will most likely solve your problem.
I am having the same issue
It happened even when i flashed it to Paranoid android, and my rear camera and microphone aren't working. I got my phone from another place so OPO won't help me fix it
I bought my Oneplus One in India with CM11S stock unrooted and unmodified November build and i have the same problem.
The LEDs on the keys will ligh up but the screen wont wake up on both double tap to wake or power/lock/unlock button.
I had the same problem yesterday even on stock CM11 I went into my CWM recovery and just did a complete wipe and that fixed my problem. I believe in TWRP DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM
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.
Hey guys,
strange and frustrating problem. I was using my phone pretty extensively today (although nothing crazy), mostly thanks to Pokemon Go. Tonight after using my phone normally, I went to press the power button to turn the screen off and nothing happened. I was able to reboot (by changing one of the long-press actions to bring up the power menu via GravityBox) and then was unable to power on the phone. It seems like my hardware power button has suddenly become unresponsive. This leaves me unable to power on/off the phone, including booting into the bootloader. Also, I seem to be unable to wake my phone up by double tapping the screen or swiping up.
The phone otherwise functions fine. If I get a notification, the screen wakes up and I can use the phone. Otherwise, the only way I've been able to get into the phone is by connecting it to a computer and issuing ADB commands. The IR blaster functions fine which makes me think it's not the hardware button?
Has this happened to anyone else before? Can the power button just break like that without any water / physical damage? The fact that I also can't wake the screen makes me think it's a software issue. One other thing I suspect is that my phone abruptly died yesterday (battery died despite software thinking it still had juice left). In the past, with the modified kernel / rom, this has resulted in some nasty issues, including 4G not working and the Android system process basically exploding. I thought I lucked out when I powered it on after that, but maybe it just took a day for this issue to manifest itself.
I'm going to make a NANDROID backup and try flashing a few different things to see if I can fix it. I'll post my progress here.
Current build:
- Verizon M8, S-OFF
- TWRP
- Android GPE 6.0 (MRA58K.H13)
Edit: I haven't been able to find a fix. I'm a bit afraid to try a full RUU since I can't use the hardware keys to reboot into the bootloader should something go wrong. It may just be that my PWR hardware button is f'd which really sucks. I'm not sure I'm up to cracking open the phone to fix it. In the meantime I downloaded an app called Gravity Screen On/Off which uses the phone's proximity sensor to wake the screen up and it seems to work ok for now.
