Ever since I flashed CM13 the power button sometimes didn't wake the phone, I later realized this was because trebuchet (the CM launcher) crashed sometimes, and wouldn't restart. I would usually wake the phone by having a friend call my phone and forcing it to launch trebuchet or plugging it in. But today for some reason it stopped working completely! Now it doesn't turn off my phone and doesn't turn it on!! I can't reboot my phone or shut it down, and for some bizzare reason my volume down button doesn't work, but the volume up key works???? This is so frustrating I nearly came close to throwing this piece of crap phone at the wall. How can I fix this?? I downloaded an app that lets me sleep the phone from the screen, but I don't know what to do to wake it! I'm not always with my friends and I can't turn it on if I'm outside and not near an outlet. Please help. Xt1032 with CM13 nightly.

I have a Fuze that wants to shutdown all the time. I usually run EnergyRom on it and the slide to shutdown screen keeps popping up. When I run a stock rom on it, it also shuts down, as if someones holding the power button.
has anyone ran into this issue or have any idea how to fix it? I've searched for a while and can't find anything.
thanks!
Opening up the phone enough to get to the point that you can remove the power button itself and clean that area of the phone should fix the problem.
This even helped me on my previous phone where I thought the button was losing sensitivity. After reassembly the button worked beautifully again.
I had the same problem...and then all of a sudden my power button stopped working altogether...its weird because it works fine to turn the phone on, but once it boots it doesnt turn off the screen or bring up the shut down menu or anything
how did you manage to remove it to clean it out?
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 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.
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
Hello everyone. Recently I got my hands on LG K3 phone and I have an annoying problem with it. When you try to wake it up from stand-by mode sometimes there is a big delay between pressed button and screen turned on. It can be as long as 5 seconds. Weird thing is when you plug off power cord it wakes up immediately. It seems it wakes up slow only with power button. I made a fabric reset but the problem is still present. I wonder if anyone have encountered something similar and know how to fix it.
