I'm running CM 7 Stable. When I push my power button to illuminate the screen, it doesn't do anything. The bottom buttons light up and I have to swipe the unseen unlock slider to get the screen to come up. This also happens with incoming calls. Some what intermittent, but 80% of the time I have to swipe the invisible slider. Any suggestions?

Sometimes when I use the power button to unlock the screen saver, the pattern lock screen is off center. It's so far off center I can't enter the pattern to unlock the phone. I have to press the power button twice to get a new pattern lock screen that is centered.
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this with their phone. I've got Executive Assistant running under the lock screen.
happened to me a couple of time so I stopped using pattern unlock screen. Once it got to the point where it stuck there permanently until I rebooted the phone
Happened to me a lot after removing the phone from car dock mode. Usually had to reboot, hasn't happened at all since switching to CM10 nightlies.
happens to my wife and me many times. we just do what you said.
Im guessing its a known issue because it happens to me and a lot of people I know.

Happens to me too. The fix is simple though:
1) Press the Emergency Call button. It should still be in place
2) When you see the number pad, turn the phone to horizontal view so that the number pad moves.
3) Press "back", the lock pattern will be horizontal for a second and then it'll flip back to its correct place!
I also had this happen many times. I turned off the lock function.
Is this on stock?

If I get what you trying to say here, you can try button saviour(root), there is a screen off and other onscreen buttons features(back/home/menu/vol etc) that's quite handy too.
If thats an app bro sorry not the one im looking for..
Im looking for something to edit in the phone to make the screen off by pressing a custom button, e.i pressing the home twice and the screen is off. Press once and the screen is on.
The power button is too far, i mean my finger needs to jump there just to turn off the screen. If u get me bro..

umm i don't think there is a mod for such a particular and specific personal perference
There are tap to execute and similar app that make use of the Proximity sensor of the phone to wake up phone without having to press the power button.
Personally I only tried softpower.
Description
Turn screen OFF and turn screen ON without touch power button.
SoftPower will safe your physical power button by use Search button or notification to turn screen OFF(and lock) and use proximity sensor changing to turn screen ON.
Note:
-Proximity sensor on device is required for Turn ON function to work.
-To uninstall, do this first. Settings-> Locations & Security(or Security in ICS)-> Device Administrators then uncheck SoftPower.

ive been looking for this too, since ALL SCREEN OFF APPS dont make your phone go into deep sleep resulting into battery drain, only the physical power button can make you phone into deep sleep and auto idle i think, im looking for a shorcut not widget or app to mimic the physical power button so i can set it into gesture and alike to make my phone go into deep sleep
try cm10 fxp150, u can easily lock your screen from notification bar
If you install cm10 I'd recommend enabling the navigation bar and setting the back button long press to make your phone sleep. It's wonderful to use!

how you did that can you teach step by step?
Alright, so I updated to MA7 update, and everytime I'm in the text messaging app, and screen timesout I hit the home button and instead of turning on the screen and showing me my messaging app, it would turn screen on and show my last message and then get me the task manager screen.
Any one else have issues like that, does seem to happen when I'm not in the messaging app.
Ninja edit, ok so now it seems like everytime I use the home button it gives me the task manager ugh.
no issues here running smooth so far

Well did a hard reset it seem to went away.
So before if i let the screen timeout and i press the home button it would turn on the screen and the last viewed window. Now if I let it time out it just goes back to the lock screen, so wondering if this is a setting, or a glitch from before. Kind of nice to now have to swipe to unlock all the time.
Now its back againan this is annoying.

I just updated and I dont seem to have any problems with this rom other than battery so far. Dropped 30% in an hour..
Someone try it see if it does it to you or not, I have my screen set to timeout after 30sec and smart stay and smart rotation is on.
So open like text messages, wait till the screen timesout and immediatly push the home button, this for me bypasses the swipe to unlock screen and brings up the task manager/app switcher. If I wait more than a few seconds and then hit the home button it turns the phone on to the swipe to unlock screen.
If anyone test it that would be cool.

Operates the same as you describe here. . But for all I know it could be that way on every version cause I use the power button to turn the screen back on..

The only issue I have found is with my S-Notes. I had one completely dissappear and a few others somehow became locked and I don't know what the password is so I can't view or delete them.

If I hit the wake button right after it times out it goes straight to the app I was in. I like it. I hate the gallery though, it's laggy and freezes almost immediately.

My thoughts exactly. I might try restoring to my ma5 and trying to redo it from a fresh download and see if that changes anything.
I have an issue with my lock screen. Ive disabled everything but I still get a black lock screen with a play/pause button and skip button. Any one can relate to this?
Please I need help, it's driving me crazy.

Dose anyone experience the phone switches between apps by itself? Sometime it will split the screen too. It feels like the app switch button at left bottom corner was pressed. It just happened all of sudden and I can't figure out how to stop it.
