I've been running ICS-Dinc AOKP V.05 for a couple days. Great ROM! Since I am testing a couple ICS ROMS, I decided to run them through the Boot Manager App.
I've run into an odd issue. When I long press the power button, say to take a screen shot or power down, the phone does a "hot" reboot. By hot reboot I mean it does not power down, then goto HTC splash screen, then ROM boot animation. It simply goes to the ROM boot animation. All else seems to work as it should based on the change log and known issues. I searched through the development thread and did not find a similar report.
Thoughts?
Check under
System Settings>ROM Control>Powe rmenu Options
and make sure that show torch toggle is not checked. I was having this problem and disabling this seemed to fix it.

Hi there,
I'm enjoying coolexe's ROM but I've discovered I can't turn my phone off.
Long press of the power button shows the menu with "Power off", "Hibernate", "Restart" etc. Selecting power off shows the first part of the shut down sequence (white htc screen, black screen, button lighting turns off).
Pressing the power button again (long press needed) does not boot the phone but shows pin entry screen first (ie, the phone did not shut down).
I first noticed this because over night my phone went to 0% battery while I thought it was turned off. The only way I've been able to shut it down properly is rebooting to recovery and powering down from there.
Its a minor problem but I'd be pleased to hear if someone can suggest a solution. The ROM is otherwise great!
Thanks

i don't use this rom, but i think sense 2.1 and above has fast boot feature
try: menu -> settings -> power, then make sure 'fast boot' is unticked
then when you power off the phone, it should properly be properly switched off instead of hibernating.
that worked - thanks!
(now I wish I'd figured that one out myself)
In Android 4.1--pretty much every iteration of it, including CM10--when I hit my power button to sleep the phone, the phone would go to sleep immediately. In 4.2 and beyond, there is a half-second delay when I push the power button and when the screen actually turns off.
This issue is present in 4.2 stock, 4.2.1 stock, 4.2.2 stock, 4.3 stock and every single version and nightly of both CM10.1 and CM10.2 that I've flashed. Disabling the CRT animation or changing the animation scale does not fix the issue; the device still hangs for a half second or so before turning off the screen.
This persists no matter what I do. The usual suggestions do not work; the problem persists. It's going to drive me nuts eventually, because I keep thinking it didn't take, mashing the power button a second time, only to turn my screen back on again.

Hello.
Add the "go to sleep" control on the notification drawer's power widget (Settings->Interface->Notification Drawer) and try it. If works, problem solved. If not, we can discar hardware (power button) issue.
I've never encountered the issue in everyday use. It has happened to me a handful of times, but only when the phone is heavily bogged down. Never under normal use. I assume you would know if your phone was being bogged down though?

So, I've tried CM10.0 and CM 10.1 and I get the same problem a LOT.
When I hit the power button from the screen being off, the screen will stay dark. The softkeys will light up, and in actuality, the entire system still works, but the screen is basically dead. The one tried and true way I've found to restore the screen is this:
1. Take off the cover
2. Eject Battery and Replace
3. Boot into CWM recovery
4. Restart from there
5. Now the phone will show some of the screen in landscape. Hold the Power Button and select the second bar (it's reboot, but you can't see the name of the option. Luckily the selection bars are wide). Hit the Ok bar (again. can't see OK).
6. Now CM runs.
Any ideas as to what causes this and how I can prevent it? Could it be a proximity thing? Note: this does not happen to me in CM7.
Thanks,
Tony
Remove boot animation (/system/media/bootanimation.zip) via any means possible. I wonder why this appears on an official CM build...

I think I have the same problem, I´m on CM9, I turn on the phone and the screen and all the system works, but after I turn off the screen with the power button the screen stays black, but the system still works. This happened yesterday.
I have already tried installing another kernel, going back to stock with odin. But even on the stock sprit rom, that still happens.
I will try the CM7 to see if works
Hey guys,
When I woke up today my phone had some serious issue.
I can turn the phone on and off with the power button, but when the phone is lit and I want to
lock the screen, the button does not work. I can hold it in and get to the power meny, but when
i just tap it, nothing happens...
Do any of you know why it occour? Havent done anything unusual...
Clearly the button works, because I can enter the Power meny...
/Thanks

are you trying to turn the screen off on lock screen? if so just double tap the screen
Is the phone stock or modded (rooted, custom ROM, etc.)?
Did you try to reboot device already?

Yes, the first thing I tried.
I'm not completely clear on the issue. If you just tap the power button while the screen is on, it should turn off the screen (which in turn also locks it). If holding the power button until you get the power menu, the choices should just be Power Off, Restart, and Airplane Mode. I don't think there is an option to lock screen on that menu on a stock ROM (and actually no custom ROMs that I know of).
Sorry for the delay on the answers.
It's not that i can't access the power menu, that works fine.
But if you want to lock your screen, you just tap the power buttom and that dosent work.
And I just found out that the screen NEVER shouts down!? It's always on.
When I reeboot the phone, the screen darkens, but all the icons on the desktop is visible and when i try
to tap the screen it acts like its off!?
Can't even think of whats wrong with this now.
The power buttom clearly works, but i can't lock or shout down the screen.
It's like its always on!?
I'm having this exact same issue.
My solution
Obviously this is much too late for the OP, but for anyone who might still stumble on this thread (it is still one of the top hits on Google for this issue), I got mine working again by rebooting the phone, after first disabling fast boot in the settings. (Settings > Power > Fast boot - I should note my phone is the HTC One Mini 2, but I assume the M8 isn't too different in this regard).
I had previously attempted rebooting from the power options (both restart and power off), but this hadn't fixed the problem.

The Fast boot option in Settings was removed from the M8 as of Lollipop.
Even when the M8 had this option, it did not effect "Restart" in power options. At least on the M8, restart is always a try restart; and Fast boot only affected the "power off" condition.
I just did a reboot of my tab and it got stuck at what I call "Black Sceen Crash".
Looks like being switched off - but isn't.
It does react on screen touches with a very brief vibration.
And it gets a litte warm.
Does not react on long pressing power button - so no reboot, no download mode, whatsoever.
Guess I have to let it run out of battery - which might take couple of days with screen off. We'll see.
Any idea what to do or what could have caused that behavior? Any similar experience?
Before trying to reboot there was no mobile connection, and I wanted to reboot to get it reconnected. Otherwise no problem.
I am running stock Samsung ROM, rooted, Skyhigh Kernel, OC/UV.

Yeah, I also discovered long pressing power button alone does not force-reset the device. I managed to reset it though by press-hold Power + Home + Either Vol Up/Down. Give that a try.
I can't remember whether it was the Vol Up or Down, try one then the other if it didn't work first time. Good luck.
After a while (30 min probably) it did not any more react on screen touches and was cold. Off maybe? Still no reaction on long pressed Power Button. Tried Volume Down+Home+Power Button - and fortunately it revived the tablet. Strange. Thanks for the hint!
I face the Black screen of death and the device (T805) was not responding to any reboot, recovery or download mode actions, sent it back to Samsung support and they claim an internal piece of HW need to be replaced, I refused that and asked for refund or new device... After a week I got a replacement device...
