I have strange behavior with my EVO as of late. The screen will no longer turn off when I hit the power button or when it is supposed to time out. The bottom buttons are always lit up and when I hit the power button the screen blinks off and then the lock screen comes up. The same thing happens when the screen is supposed to time out. It blinks and then the lockscreen comes up. This happens when it is plugged in and unplugged. I've tried using multiple ROMs and it does it with all of them. It just started 4 days ago after I got a text. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Current Running OMJ Gingerbread
I would start by first backing up all of my data and then re-flashing the rom with a full wipe.

Ok so I had installed a home replacement called qq launcher version 1.21 and uninstalled around 10 min after. While it was uninstalling, the loading bar kept going and the phone froze up. So i took out my battery and proceeded to turn it on again. Now when my phone turns on, after booting up it goes to my pattern lock screen with a completely black wallpaper and my phone freezes. When I press the power button, the screen goes black and stays like that. The only time it switches is when i plug in my charger and when i do that, it goes back to to the same lock screen and stays frozen unless i press the power button (which turns my screen black again.) Im running gingerbread 2.3.4 and im not rooted. My phones also disconnected so i only use it on wifi. I would really REALLY appreciate it if someone can help me get my G2 back to normal, i depend on it greatly whenever im on a wifi network.
With the phone off, hold volume down, press and release power. This should pull up the bootloader screen. You should have the option to do a factory reset from here. Try it.
I was talking on the phone and BOOM it resets.
It started reloading and can't! WTF!? It just gets caught. The Samsung logo comes up and then the darkside boot animation (been running this rom for a few weeks). Then it blacks out and does these intermittent vibrations like it's trying to boot but just stays black.
When I take out the battery and put it back in, it attempts to load itself without me touching any buttons. After the boot animation it goes black and does a single vibration that pulses every other second.
I've changed the battery several times, plugged in, unplugged, everything I try can't stop this.
I attempted to get it into recovery. After I get it there, it resets within seconds and puts me back to the same place. There is no way to get into download mode as it goes into this weird loop as soon as I plug the phone into USB.
Ever heard of this? What do I do?
Your explanation sounds like a hardware issue. your power button is being pressed and held without you doing it.
1- is the phone in a case? take the case off.
2 - if no case, did you get the phone wet? somehow the power button connection is being activated.
3 - power button is stuck.
Possible solution - remove battery then press and release the power button several times.
Let me know if that solved the issue.

My phone just started acting up really weird. Whenever I would graze the power button (not even when I push it in all the way) the screen would lock and sometimes immediately turn back on. Some times the power menu would come up. Other times it would just restart and go into this weird loop where the screen would be black, the phone vibrates, and the LED just flashes. Does anyone know what I should do about this? I was using CM9, but this happened pretty randomly so I don't think its a software issue.

Try flashing a different ROM. There may a bug or something on that ROM that could be doing that.

You just got a malfunction power button. It happens a lot. You need to call samsung/tmobile for warranty service.

ok so here is the rundown
Device: HTC one on vzw
Rom: Slimbean 2.x
Gapps: Slim AIO gapps
had a weird problem with the display today if anyone has had this or know someone who has i would greatly appreciate the help. I just flashed Slimbean 2.x last night and all was good. no problems what so ever, got everything setup and was working fine. this morning around 10am i opened snapchat to view a video. i clicked on the video and as soon as it started the screen went blank and would not turn on. i tried holding the power button down for at least a minute and nothing. also tried power and volume down, power and both volume buttons, power and volume up and still nothing seems to work. when i plug it into the wall charger the red LED light does not turn on and screen does not wake. when i plug it into the computer the computer does not ever read the device and noting pops up letting me browse the files on the phone. i have no clue why this happened it has been working fine for the 3 months that i've had it. took it to verizon about an hour ago and they didn't know either but they are sending me a replacement htc one. all i really want now are my photos that i have on the phone.
does anyone have any ideas about what i could do?
thanks
I had something similar and think it was conflict related. After installing the "advanced power menu" with xposed, I had an issue when trying to use it to boot into recovery. Basically it had timed out and then went away without rebooting. The next time I tried it locked up and my screen went black. My keys would light up if I clicked on the power button (it was dark in the room so the sensor was still working), but nothing else. Nothing I did would make the screen turn on at all and holding down the power key to reboot did not work. I just planned on letting the battery die out. After about 45 minutes, the phone just rebooted and everything was back to normal. I really think it locked up due to a conflict similar to what a PC might do.
Hi guys, having some trouble with my tablet. Started out of nowhere, but the screen doesn't light up until the device has been fully restarted, in which case once you lock the screen, the problem starts all over again and I have to restart it again. It also lights up when the device is off and the power cord is plugged in, but only briefly. Once it goes away, I can't use the power button or anything else to check the status of charging, only thing that works is unplugging it and plugging back in. It's still sensitive to the touch, there's haptic feedback, capacitive buttons work, it just stays black most of the time. Has anybody else had this issue and knows how to fix it? It came out of nowhere, the device is not rooted, haven't dropped it or anything. Thanks in advance
