Hi all,
I have some trouble with my Z1 compact. Very often when screen is off and pressing powerbutton (to get to unlock screen) the screen goes on but in the same sec goes it off. The same thing can also happen if screen is on and I want to turn it off -> it goes off and again on and I'm back at unlock screen. This issue appears kind of randomly and I have no idea if this is a software bug or a hardware problem.
Using CM11 M12 stable. Any ideas? Thank you

I have the same phone and OS, and have seen the same issue, but until I saw your post I have dismissed it as something I was doing when pressing the power button. I believe it must be a software bug, since I did not have the problem when running the stock OS. Perhaps it is worth a bug report.

I use Xposed and GEM Xperia Xposed module, that has 'wake up with volume keys'
Not really a solution, more of a workaround

Hi guys.
So i managed to get my desire wet/damp and whilst it still works it has developed 3 issues:
1) The weirdest of all - the phone wont go into standby, as soon as you press the power button or let it timeout the screen goes off and they instantly turns back on to the lock screen. If i leave it, it will timeout again on lockscreen and come back on, it does this forever. I have done factory resets etc, all the same. Weird right
2) Volume keys do not work - think means i had issues getting into recovery. Finally found a widget to do it and then....
3) Trackpad does not work in recovery so i cannot re-flash or try any new rom to see if that fixed (1)
Proper catch 22
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Brisgstfer
UPDATE
OK I HAVE AN UPDATE:
The plot thickens but i have managed to S-OFF my Desire and eventually install Clockworkmod Touch which obviously doesn't require me to use the trackpad button so I was able to use Recovery. I wiped the phone and tried reflashing the ROM i had been using (Insertcoin) but this made no difference, the phone still keeps waking up immediately that it goes to sleep (either with power button or by sleeping timeout).
So i decided to install a completely different ROM (CM10_VJ_4.1.2_v3.0) and this installed fine. Now the phone will go to sleep and stay asleep if I press the power button. Problem solved I thought!
Now when the phone is asleep 50% of the time, trying to wake it with the power button will cause it to reset immediately and goto the white HTC screen. When it restarted it sits on the unlock screen and keeps timing out, screen goes off, then immediately on again - weird. If i unlock and lock with power button it will behave. For some reason the Search key will wake the phone every time no issues. Only the power key to unlock causes it to reset. Phone is sleeping according to Battery info.
Any other suggestions for what I could try. Could this possibly be something hardware related now? If there a way i can log the key presses or reason it wakes/resets?
Any help really appreciated, the phone is pretty unusable with this reset issue now.
THanks

May be a hardware issue. But try installing a lighter ROM like dGB or MildWild and see if the issue persists.

Thanks mate. So i tried this and installed CM7 today and have discovered something. As i said above the volume down button doesn't work and the volume up only works with some persuasion. Once i installed CM7 the problem where I lock phone with power key and it instantly wakes up now persists (on the JB rom it at least stayed asleep but reset if power button was pressed again).
However whe i changed the display timeout to 15seconds i watched as it timed out and instantly woke then noticed the volume would increment down one notch each it woke up again. This leads me to think that rather then the volume down not working at all it is actually stuck down permanently and could be causing the issue here. Is there any way I can find out if this is the case and disable the volume keys through software or do i need to open up the phone and disconnect it?
Thanks for any help - i think we are getting there!

Flash a ROM which can be unlocked via trackpad and volume can be adjusted from the phone settings without touching volume keys and the power button on the top.
I recommend MildWild5.8 based on CM7. When I was on it, I totally forgot about volume and power keys because all the phone operations can be done without them.
Thanks thats a great suggestion. I actually worked out that the trackpad is being pressed down constantly too because on CM7 when i disable trackpad to wake the phone actually stays asleep.
Is there any way to disable both volume and trackpad buttons at the kernal/system level?
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...
dear community
my neighbour gave me his Z1 compact because it did not work anymore.
It was stuck on loginscreen, when i touched the unlock button it vibrated, but nothing else happened.
I could however download all his photos on my Win7PC by just plugging it on USB
but it kept staying unresponsive, no way to get beyond lockscreen
So I used SonyMobileFlasher and unlocked the bootloader without any issues - no errors.
Then I flashed a new firmware obtained through XperiFirm without errors
Now, when I boot, I can hear the boot-melody (??)
but the screen stays dark.
I can connect the phone via flash mode and fastboot mode
I can switch it off by pressing volUp+Power (three vibrates)
from Off i press power, it plays the melody, but the screen stays dark
Is it a hardware damage?
Is there anything I can do for the phone?
thx for ur input

Seems like busted display to me. Flash recovery and see if touch screen works in recovery. If not, definitely hw.
thx for ur reply, i flashed TWRP- several trys, now I can see the TWRP lock screen, but when I swipe to log in it vibrates, soon after the screen scrambles away, vertical lines just fade and then crash-off.
seems very much like the screen is defect? not worth replacing, seems like a whole huzzle to replace that screen
pitty, one more device to trash.
i am seriously looking into fairphone2, would be nice to replace the screen so easy.

Maybe not extremely easy, but there are guides in the forum here for screen replacement, if your feel up to it.
Hello all,
I am using the original 5.1 ROM.
Now, I can turn on/off the screen by pressing the Power button, but that's it. The screen does not respond anymore to my touch . Then the screen is off automatically after timeout.
Could you give me some hints to fix?
Thanks

in my opinion, the touch screen is broken. try flashing different kernel, and see if u have the same probs.
Hard reset possibility...before concluding it's a touchscreen problem.
