Epic 4G Touch will not Sleep ?? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So I installed Blazer Rom 4.0 on my wife's phone, however her phone will no longer sleep. If she presses the power button, the screen will shut off then it will come back on about 15 seconds later. Has anyone encountered any similar issues or have a fix?

Its possible its a program that is waking the screen up. Some apps can make the volume rocker turn the screen on. So if you hit both the power button and the volume rocker, it could be turning the screen back on. Otherwise, if you cant narrow down what it is, I would suggest reflashing the rom.

adb logcat
Do it, then paste results here.

opposite thing here
my phone goes black and wont turn back on, it is working but you cannot see the screen

Power off/power on it's own (Alpha 3 CM9)

So A few days ago my phone started to turn off and turn back on randomly, Its hit or miss, Just starting to get annoying. Has anyone ran into this? Pretty much when my phone is off and I hit the power button it will go to the screen as if I'm holding the power button to do a screen shot. I'm pretty sure it's not my power button sticking. I think there is just something else going on.
Also when it does it when my charger is hooked up it will keep starting up and turning off till I unplug it.
I wasn't sure if it was a app I had downloaded so I deleted the last few apps I had downloaded, But still will turn on and off.
Anyone had anything?

I was having the same thing happening with cm9. I went ahead and tried out BLUKUBAN rom..very sweet one at that. better battery life. Try it out.
Well I updated to alpha 4. Still have the the random power off like I'm holding the power button down. So I'm thinking its something internal.
Guess ill unroot and take it back to sprint. Dang it!

I'm having the exact same issues. It started 2 days ago. I'm watching my phone turn off and on, on its own right now while plugged in.
Are you sure its not a bad power button? I found that even if i barely tap the power button without fully pressing it in, it will trigger a button press action, or a button hold action.
Please update if you resolve.

Screenshot Not Working

Power+Vol Down buttons are not working to capture a screenshot. I know it worked sometime last night. Definitely sure I am holding down those buttons. Tried rebooting, powering off and back on and still does not work. Running Logcat as root doesnt show anything happening when holding those buttons down. They work individually (holding power brings up the power menu and holding volume down changes the volume).
EDIT: So I noticed that a bug report was created. Emailed it to myself, and saw this line in the textfile:
WindowManager: Screenshot failure taking screenshot for (1920x1200) to layer 21005
Hey man, might be a hardware issues, was able to take a screenie on mine.
Working here too
I've not successfully screenshotted. Feels difficult.
cannot take screen shot
I also can't take screenshot with the power and vol down! what happen? do i need to set anything?

Wifi in sleep mode
With these advanced wifi settings: Keep wifi on during sleep - never, scanning always available - unchecked,
should i be receiving notifications like email when my tab is asleep via the magnetic switch on the case? I figure it's either a ROM bug (12/20 build 3) or I don't understand something about sleep mode. If its relevant, I switched back to elementalX v2.3 kernel. I sent myself an email and a few seconds later, my tab chirped, even tho the case was closed w mag lock enabled. What am i missing?

Broken Display?

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.

power button becoming unresponsive

Recently the power button on my fire phone has become more and more unresponsive. Right now I can still get it to register, but I have to press it very hard and hold for usually 30 seconds or more before it responds.
I have installed an app for "touch turn off" from the home screen to avoid using the power button, but this can be inconvenient, since I always have to exit whatever app I'm using and go to the homescreen if I want to turn off the screen. I am also concerned since it seems the power button needs to be pressed in order to do specific things like reboot shut down, etc.
has anyone else's power button become unresponsive with time. This is clearly a hardware defect and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for best how to take care of it. would the device need to be sent back to amazon to be fixed? I am overseas right now which makes that more difficult.
appreciate your feedback on how best to fix this.

My power button is working fine, but I've always kept it in a case as there is a noticeable gap between the button and the housing. I would recommend taking a cotton bud and some rubbing alcohol and see if you can clean round the button to ensure you don't have any crud that has built up in the switch over time.
Also, a neat trick in CM is you can double tap on the status bar to turn off the screen. Settings -> Display -> Double tap to sleep. Also there are several apps in the playstore where you can initiate a shutdown/reboot.
I've had this problem in the beginning actually, after the first month of having my phone i had to press really hard to get the power button to register. just like you i started using an app to lock the screen and the home button to turn it on. Strangely enough though the problem eventually rectified itself, this is what I've noticed but i don't know if they will help you.
1) The ROM made a difference, i noticed that the power button gave more trouble on stock than custom roms, i don't know why but you should test and see.
2) depending on the case you are using it can weaken some of the buttons(this happened to my volume and power)
3) Tampering physically with the buttons can restore functionally: using a small item(or you can open the phone) i tapped the underlying triggers and noticed they worked fine and were very responsive. This lead me to believe that the outer button projections were either slightly out of line or degraded in some way, by moving them up a bit i was able to restore function to my volume rockers.
Hope this is of some help
Hello, I was using cm11 and i had my power button unresponsive and even sometimes pressing it would just get my phone to restart. So yesterday when @ggow released his update on cm11. I cleaned install it. I mean i backed up everything and then wiped every partition in twrp except that for ''System Partition'' then i flashed the new rom. Setup my phone and cleared all the pictures and movies. I had same new phone again. No Crashing / Freezing or Unresponsive. #Workslikeacharm!

Help Tab S-T705 Won't Turn On!!!

HI all my tab s will not turn on, but if i plug it in to a wall outlet it turns on fine, but it does not boot into android it boots into recovery menu. Long story short i sent it in for repair to Samsung last month the day i got it back i went on holiday. that's where the same issues came back screen flickering erratic battery not charging up properly freezing up etc etc. When i sent it to Sammy it was on kitkat and all Sammy service center did is update it to lollipop ran some diagnostics and sent it back to me.
Due to it not booting up i had a old 4.4.2 firmware file on my computer so i flashed it since then it don't boot to android it boots to android recovery menu and it will not turn on with out a wall outlet as a power source, also soon as i remove the wire it shuts off immediately..
i'm downloading lollipop as i'm typing this out, but the problem is it's been plugged into the laptop for about 15 mins or so and it's not turning on so how do i flash lollipop ?
Try holding the power button home button and both volume buttons all at once holding the home button first then the volume keys then finally the power button. If this dont work or your still getting screen flicker open tab up remove battery for 5 mins and plug it back in. YouTube has tutorials
