About 33% of the time when I go unlock my phone, the screen simply does not turn on, but I can still press the trackpad and the capacitative buttons. I have to keep pressing the power button for it to eventually turn on (after having the screen brieftly flash for a bit every time I try)
I'm using Cyanogen 7 nightlies, and it has been happening for quite a while. I'm not sure if it's an issue with Cyanogen, or a g2 thing.
Anyone has experiences with this issue or something similar?
Are you overclocking? Screen wake issues have been well documented with 2.3 roms when you have the screen on/off animations turned on. So you have a choice, turn of screen on/off animations, or turn down your overclock.
I recommend having a search of the CM7 nightly thread and reading in to the issue a bit more.

Hello,
How can one distinguish between when the screen is off and when the phone itself is turned off?
I mean, with the screen off, a single press on the power button, makes it come back on again.
But when the device is off, a single press on the power button turns on the device.
I thought a long press would be needed to turn on the device, but a normal press is enough.
As a result, I can't distinguish between the two states and sometimes turn on the device when I would have liked to let it turned off because I did not remember if I turned it off already.
Thanks for your help
I had the same issue. No fix on the desire, but can download appreciate that helps......

Some roms have the ability to unlock with menu or trackpad button.
What rom are you using?
Yes if you are root the simple solution is to allow unlock on trackpad I use it myself, and it is very comfortable
I'm on the latest OTA ROM, non rooted.
I have heard of WidgetLocker, but without a way to try it, I'm not sure it will work nicely with the sense UI.
widgetlocker works, plus it has sense theme.

Have you tried calling your phone? This will definitely tell you if it's on or not.

Interesting, not necessarily convenient, but interesting idea
If you use a media player that starts the music once you plug the headphones.
Also plug it in an USB or an AC outlet.
Running DK28 with Bonsai4All 2.0.
For awhile my phone was fine but just recently it's started acting up. When I hit the lock button my screen turns off and the phone locks, but then the screen immdiately turns back on and goes to the lock screen instead of just staying off, so I have to hit the lock button again to turn the screen off.
Any solutions? Thanks.
Sorry I don't have a solution, just thought you'd feel a little better knowing I have this annoying problem as well. Mine also decides to turn on sometimes if I touch the camera button while I'm removing it from my holster. I'm using Simply AOSP DK28.
I also have the same problem

I had this same problem on my stock Eclair, so not sure what causes it.
Hello,
I was listening to music n my htc hd desire, the screen was turned off at this time, tried to turn on the screen but the power button wasn't working, just the menu on the bottom of the screen was turning on, the volume buttons weren't working either, the music was continuing, so i was obliged to remove the battery, this way my phone returned to work normally, anyone know what is the reason of this?
if the power button works fine now it probably was a crash of a system that blocked waking the phone or is used to wake the phone
If power button still not working i guess the button is failing
If so i recommend widgetlocker and turn on the option that you can wake the phone with every hardware button
After that download the app called screen off so you can still turn of your screen

Hi there, i want to know if more ppl have this problem. Sometimes when i press the power button the device does not go into locking state, screen turns off but the screen off sound is missing. Also when i press power/home to wake the device it does not display the lockscreen. I thought i had a bad product so i swapped it with warranty and now my 2nd device also has this problem. I think its a fail in the exynos..... switching kernels didnt work either.

The only time I've ever had this issue is if I install the 23 toggles mod and try toggling the lock screen from there. It's never happened on the stock rom.

Yes, I'm a n00b. I did search to see if I could find this as well and did not.
So, here's the deal, when I press the power button to turn the screen on, it fades in nicely.
When I then press the power button to turn the screen off, the screen appears to compress very quickly down to a white line, then blink off. This also happens when the screen auto-off kicks in.
Here is video of what is happening:
Oh...I can't post a link, cuz I'm a n00b.

Anyone else noticing this or is this unique to my device and I should return it?
Its the CRT effect and we all have this, I know in some custom Roms you could enable and disable this but not sure in stock

Huh...I used to have an Asus Transformer TF300 and don't recall this.
Is this supposed to be a "feature?"
I mean all the new nexus 7's have this, its been around on various Roms for ages, I quite like it lol
