My N7 has had a rather odd, and annoying, issue for a while, and I'm now unsure if it is hardware or software.
Every once in a while, when I go to unlock it, it will immediately relock (screen will show the lock animation) as soon as I swipe up. This persists until I manage to either power cycle the tablet, or by changing the orientation of the tablet and trying again a few times.
Has anyone run into this, and if it is hardware related, which bit is causing it? I had to replace the power button on my Galaxy S2 for a similar issue, but the power button appears to be fine on the tablet.
Thanks!

Hi Guys,
My powerbutton works pressing down but it seem that the trigger sensor is stuck on. I cannot turn it on from wake either since its already supposedly pressed. The only way is to take my battery out and reboot. Even when I place the battery back in it would start on its own (yea thats how i figured it was stuck..)
So in my mind, I'll just return my rooted phone to Sprint by unrooting it. Ah, there's a problem I can get into Bootloader but i'm not able to toggle the selection because the power button is still active.
Is there anyway I can use adb to push updates from my computer without having control of the phone itself since it's useless?
As far as returning the phone, the problem is a physical issue not a software issue, what are my chances of getting a replacement? Thanks!
If you are still using the volume buttons, can you try to press [again] the power button to select? Also, likely to get a replacement since its a hardware issue.
it wont let me toggle up and down at all at bootloader.
i'm a little concern what they might say when they see its a rooted phone S-OFF feature (that's if they decided to look into the problem further) but its very evident the button is stuck at ON.
I think you should still be able to unroot by hooking it up to your computer and running an RUU.
50/50 they will look in further, since its a hardware issue. And they won't like it being rooted, they may tel you have to pay 100$ if they see it. And I'm not too sure where to push the files via adb, but I believe it can be done.
I've seen similar threads on other devices but I'm not 100% sure this is the same problem...
My girlfriend's phone has been glitching out massively lately. By glitching out, I mean that it appears as if some invisible force is pressing and holding down the Home button. You can feel the phone vibrate in your hand as if you're pressing the buttons and it brings up the Recently Used Applications menu. If you try to press any other button to escape out of it, the phone doesn't do anything until it finishes with its seizure. Usually if you power it off for a few seconds, it will resolve the issue.
She is running non-rooted and stock. I can't say for sure what version of Android or Sense she's running right now, however I can provide that information when I can receive it from her. She recently dropped her phone that resulted in a shattered screen. I replaced the glass on Saturday and noticed the glitch myself afterwards (which makes me worried that the ribbon cable that controls those buttons was damaged or not properly set), however she tells me that the phone was doing this before she dropped it.
She's not running an application killer (I read that this might be the cause of this problem) and I'm hoping that installing a custom ROM on it will fix the problem. Does anyone else have this problem or know a solution?
Thanks,

Since I unlocked the bootloader and now have relocked it and gone back to stock rom... I seem to have serious issues with the screen. When I hit the power button to make the screen go to sleep, If I hit the Home key whilst the slider is closed it doesnt wake up, I have to remove the battery and restart the phone. The phone also does not boot whilst the slider is closed!?! Any one have any ideas?
I have a feeling it may be the flex cable but the phone was fine before I unlocked the bootloader!
Anyone can help me here?
Hi,
I started to get a weird problem since last week. I've had this phone for about 3 months now and never had any problem like this.
It all started one morning when I wanted to stop phone alarm. The alarm was going off but the screen was black. I pressed the power button to wake up, but it was still black. After couple of times pressing the power button the screen came up. First it was not that often but the situation started to get worse. It came to that I can sometimes cannot turn it on for a long period of time. I need to keep pressing power button, volume buttons and eventually it will come up.
This is what I've found so far:
1) When the power button is pressed, although the screen doesn't start up, I can see the three buttons at the bottom lighting up. So it is not a problem of the power button.
2) When the power button is pressed, although the screen doesn't power up, the screen seems responsive. I can feel the vibrations when I tap (I have a startup password)
3) When the phone is connected to a power supply, screen always starts up without a problem.
4) Screen will start up more frequently when the batter power is high.
It seems as though there is a connection between batters power and the screen not starting up. But then again, once the screen comes up (after not starting up), then it works fine, until I turn the screen off.
Has anybody experienced anything like this before?
I did a factory reset thinking it might be some application I installed but it didnt help.
I had to send this phone once to repair the speaker and cost more than $80 just for courier. I don't want to spend another to get this fixed.
Thanks.
I have this problem or a problem very close to this. I have a HTC One X (international version). I'm running the latest version and updates and the problem has existed for at least the last two updates.
Android Version 4.1.1
HTC Sense version 4+
Software number 3.18.401.1
I have the screen lock pattern turned on.
Sometimes when I hit the power button, the phone does not turn on and so I press it again and only after a third press does the phone turn on. I then unlock the phone and use as normal. So, several times per day I have to press the power button three times before the phone turns on. But other times I press the power button once and it turns on straight away. I've just turned the pattern unlock off to see if this makes any difference. I'll start to record the exact details of when I experience this and see if we can work out a common cause.
Hopefully if enough people report this problem then they can send out an update to fix this problem.

I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue. I bought mine from Expansys and sent it back to them for repair. It's been more than a month and they say they're still reparing it.
In my case it was impossible for me to start the screen up with power button no matter how much I pressed it. The only thing that worked for me was to press the back of the phone just below the camera. So it seems like a hardware issue. But on the other hand, at times when I can't get the screen turned on no matter what I do, I'd turn the phone off and start again and the thing would start up like nothing happened. So while I'm pretty sure it is a HW issue, I'm not sure how a power restart makes it work.
For me I don't think that this is a hardware problem as it only started happening once I did the big upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1 and then it follows a specific pattern. That is three power button presses will always turn it on. Less frequently I also get a problem where the power button turns on the three lights on the soft buttons but the screen remains black. I then hit the power button to turn it off, and again to turn it on and the phone is back to normal again.
Is yours an international version? I bought mine an international version and had it shipped to Australia.
solved?
Hi - did anyone ever solve this? This is happening to me with my HTC desire X after having had the screen repaired, so I think it is hardware related, but the shop doesn't know how to fix it! My screen also does not turn back on when I want to end a phone call and pull the phone away from my face anymore. These problems seem related as they started at the same time. I would be grateful for help!
Good afternoon all, I'm wondering if anyone can help.
My Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 developed an issue with the screen (after travel - where it may have been knocked around a little)...
The tablet boots up fine and the screen appears to work normally.
However once the screen times out and switches off, or the screen is switched off by the power button, it is not possible to get the screen back on.
It appears that it's just the backlight that is not coming back on?.... as the screen responds to touch (you can here the pin code buttons being clicked).... but can't see anything at all on the screen.
Rebooting the tablet from here makes the screen come back on as normal - so as it works like this and just does not come back on after being 'on staandby' I thought it might be a software issue... I did a full factory reset but unfortunately the problem is still exactly the same.
I've had the tablet to bits to see if I could see any cables loose or anything - but everything looks ok - I think (Although it's the first time I've had one apart and wasn't 100% sure which cables were for the screen)
There was nothing obviously disconnected or loose.
Has anyone come across this fault before or can anyone provide any more guidance? Maybe a particular cable to check or how to check it?
Many Thanks,
Tom Leitch
I have the same issue, but I was able to fix it entering the factory mode and pressing the sleep button. That was possible using the calculator and entering (+30012012732+ and then entering *#0*# to get to test mode.
The problem now is that I'm using lineageOS so I don't know how to get to that menu or trigger that sleep button. Anyone?
