[Q] My One X sometimes has trouble "waking up", has anyone else had this?

I have recently encountered a problem with my hox, where, if I press the power button, the screen doesn't awake. It's a little weird, because the back home app switcher buttons do light up if it is dark enough around me and, after pushing them a few times, the volume buttons respond as well.
I haven't fully tested it, but it seems like when I wait like a minute or so, maybe more, the screen does finally wake up. I have also held the power button several times to restart it while it was like this and then the screen doesn't light up until the sim unlock screen pops up.
I have yet to factory reset the phone etc., but I was wondering if anyone else had run into this problem. I have looked around the internet, but was unsure what to search for.

Are u using sweep to wake?, that sometimes causes this problem

Nope, I do not have sweep to wake.

Well, after a while of being okay, the issue is showing up again. If I press the power button it does wake the phone somehow (back, home, tasks lights light up, volume can be altered), but the screen wont come on. And when it's one of those rare moments that it does turn on the UI flies everywhere, making it literary uncontrolable, until at some point the screen just turns itself off.
I am not running any custom things, everything is stock. I tried a factory reset without erasing the SD storage. I also have just sent an email to HTC, but it being weekend and all I still have to wait a day or two.
Any other things I could try?

Never had this problem with the HOX.
Only with Xperia Arc and X10 when a heavy task ran in the background

Hi, I was wondering what did you do regarding the lockscreen problem. I'm having exactly the same problem here. I've already done a factory reset but it did not solve the issue. From time to time I'm not able to unlock the phone.
Please HELP!!!

It sometimes happens to me, recently after clearing the clock and weather apps and widgets. I don't know what it is.

Any perfectly working application (widget) for locking screen?

Is there a working application to place a widget/shortcut on screen which would lock the screen as an alternate to pressing the power button again and again? I tried 3-4 from play store but none of them works properly!
I am still on ICS and probably the best one - Screen Off and Lock, immediately turns the screen on upon being pressed and then turns it off.
Anybody? :fingers-crossed:

How about emulating the power button using this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbWFydC5zd2tleSJd

Look at thishttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alinberce.standbytouch&hl=ro . I use this for a while and is all ok.

no need to root and can also be added to the notification bar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&feature=search_result&hl=en
all the best

Thanks guys!! :victory:

[Q] [ROM][AOSP][Nightly/Release] CarbonRom KitKat [L900]

Alright. I don't know if anyone else knows about this but I hold down the home button and when the phone vibrates I quickly tap the home button 2x and the screen gets a red tint. Is this supposed to be a night mode option or a glitch? I am on Carbon Rom 08032014

What happens if you tap the home button 3 times?

You are using the Plasma kernel? If so yes this is the night mode and all you have to do is rapidly press the home button 2-3 times to get back to normal mode.

Power button sometimes takes me to lock screen?

Sometimes when I press my power button, wanting to power off the display, I instead get the lock screen. Has anyone else noticed this?
Start position is just the home screen.
Found another thread with similar issue but in that case it's a HTC EVO.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797854

Is it possible that the power button is registering 2 presses, instead of 1?
What if you start with the phone turned off, then press the power button? Does it turn on, then off again?

I'm never able to reproduce it at will but I suspect you are right.
Sometimes the press on the power button isn't registered at all so I suspect it's a hardware issue.
Have noticed it since day one and I have had the phone for a month now.

Got it back from LG authorized service center now. New power button and new camera glass (that was another issue I had).
All OK, it was a hardware issue!

A70 Screen Shot Info

I've got myself a Samsung A70. and after researching for ages how to do a screen shot or what ever the new name for it is.
I find out how to do this, you have to hold the power button then press the volume button, which then turns the volume up, 2nd attempt turns the volume down, 3rd attempt you try move your hands differently and you get a screen shot, of a different page you accidentally clicked on whilst trying to screen shot, then next attempt, I think I've got it, NO I don't want to turn the phone off, grrr. But eventually when you do get a screen shot, it has the volume change across the top.
Does anyone know how to alter the screen shot to the normal power button, the the central button on the bottom?

Mine doesn't work that way:
I press and hold the power button (no more than a 1 /2 second - you don't want the phone to display the power/restart options) then almost immediately press the VOLUME DOWN key for a 1/2 of a second at most (still holding the power button) and release the volume DOWN button - screenshot should be taken (screen shrinks/comes back). Release all buttons now of course.
Hope it works, let all know if it does.
:good:

You put your whole thumb on the power button and the vol down button and you click both of them at the same time.

Easier to click the buttons than swipe your hand across the screen.

Yep that's practically how every Samsung device works, infact every device I've owned, so it seems the issue is simply pilot error.
You can even do the same thing in TWRP.

What is TWRP.
I've had loads of other Samsung's phones been the power button and the main enter button on the bottom.
I've tried doing one first then the other and I get the power turn off option.
But them both with my thumb seems to work most of the time, cheers for that. I think the phone case I have causes me some problems, but both with my thumb seems to work for the last few mins that I've tried thanks.

You could always turn to the dark side and say "Hey Google, take a screenshot" LOL

Just press and hold both at the same time. If you are finding that awkward using your right thumb then use your index and middle finger on your left hand.
