Hello guys,
I'm experiencing some problems with my phone: when I try to wake up the screen with double tap, often it doesn't respond (no matter how many times I tap) and I'm forced to press the power button to wake up the phone. I know there are a lot of similar topics but the difference is that in my case the power button DOES turn the screen on (while most people say it doesn't).
I tested the proximity sensor and the light sensor and they seem to work good, I also re-calibrated them using the hidden menu. I also tried to hard reset my phone twice but nothing has changed. Could you help me please? Thanks a lot!
I hope I clearly described the issue, I'm not so good at English!
I did have some of your problems, and it is better now by doing the following: if using greenify there is a setting to be friendly with Smart lock, use that setting. Do not use overlay applications like night filter, lux etc.

Hi, thanks for your reply! Well, I don't use any application like night filter, lux or similar and I don't use Greenify! I had the same issue even in safe mode and after an hard reset, so I don't think it could be caused by an app!

I have faced the same issue as yours just recently after getting my hands on this phone on March but mine is responding randomly, sometimes it works and sometimes not, I have to consistently tap many times in order to wake it. Have been trying everything, changing roms/kernels blablabla but none solves the problem. I'm wondering if the problem will still persist if I flash a bone stock firmware.

Has anyone else experienced this problem with their P3300?
Unpredictably, the screen on my P3300 will fail to come back on after I have shut the device off with the power button. I know the device is on because the hardware buttons light up when pressed, but the screen appears almost completely dark and won't come back on when tapped. The only way to get the screen back to normal function is to get to the backlight settings and adjust them. This seems to return the device to normal function...until it randomly happens again. I'm seeing this about two or three times a day.
At first, I thought I needed to soft reset - and this worked - I then just went to the backlight settings to modify them and got back normal function for a while. The strange thing was that after the screen issue and the soft reset, my backlight settings for battery power were on "brightest" - and they wern't there before the issue popped up.
Now I have a WA2 shortcut on my top bar that goes to backlight settings. I know approximately where it is on the screen, so when the issue pops up and the screen is pitch dark, I can tap in that general area and get to backlight settings. The screen is still dark, but I can just make out the backlight slider enough to adjust it from there and avoid the soft reset.
So, basically, it seems as though my backlight settings are randomly resetting themselves to the lowest setting every once in a while after power off. Anybody else with an Artemis seeing this? Seems a little similar to the first of the three questions in this thread, but not exactly the same:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281763
Any help or empathy would be appreciated!
I've had that, too. I assume the program for the allocation of the soft keys has a bug. You had to HARD RESET, and dont change the soft keys any more.
I've read some more about this issue and it seems it is a WM5 bug that is seen across devices. I guess I can hope they will address it at some point in a future ROM release. Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Sleep Mode
What you are describing sounds like sleep mode
" Quickly pressing the POWER button turns off the display temporarily and switches your device to sleep mode. Sleep mode suspends your device to a low power state while the display is off in order to save battery power "

(Taken from MDAC3 Manual)
Pressing the power button again should bring it out of Sleep Mode. If it is getting stuck then it is possibly a bug affecting the sleep mode.
Hi!
Any news on this issue? My phone is acting just like described in this thread (and no, this is not standby/sleep mode)
PK
This only hapen to me after a soft reset. And the only way i found to "fix" the problem was after every soft reset going to Settings>Backlight move the brightness bar up and down. And after that it never blocks the light again until the next soft reset. Sometimes when connected to usb it blocks too but if you always go to the backlight, befor e the light goes off, and move the bar it wont block anymore...Its not a real solution but the only way i found...

Yeah, that is all I am doing too. Hopefully HTC is noticing this problem too and a future ROM release will alleviate the problem. Perhaps a Crossbow upgrade someday????
I have the same problem. I found out that it happens when PhoneAlarm switches my profile from work to home.
Solution!
Check this thread out:
http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=3324.0
As stated above, looks like PhoneAlarm is the culprit. I use it and I would bet that everyone posting in this thread does too. In fact, Bruce from PocketMax has even listed the Artemis Backlight corruption issue as a fixed item in his latest release, v1.57 available here:
http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html
Once you download and install, make sure to go the the backlight % setting in each of your profiles and select "Leave Unchanged". This alleviates the problem. My Artemis no longer goes blank without backlight slider manipulation after a soft reset!!! One less thing to worry about!
I had the same problem ... I try your solution and make a feed back
I too have had this problem and have PA installed - I'll also apply the solution and report findings . . thanks for sharing.
Hi!
I installed the PA 1.57 upgrade, but it did not help... But it seems like the backlight settings on the Artemis device is not standard, so I uninstalled Spb GPSR monitor (who has a backlight setting option), and then the problem disappeared.
PK
Looks like any program you have installed with a backlight setting option needs to be adjusted not to change the backlight settings in order for things to work properly for the time being. I'm sure that software developers will adjust to this new device soon just as PA has. Thanks for the feedback!
hi,
i have PA 1.58 (build 100), and the reminders for missed calls not work properly. the orange led is blinking, but the vibration and the sound are
not played (i have set the alarm reminder to 1 x 5 min x endless)...
please, test and indicate to me if this function works on your artemis...
the reminders for sms works fine.
thank's

In other forums they have this 'problem' too, and all of these people had SPB Pocket Plus installed. My guess is that it is a backlight setting in that program. You can temporarily get the backlight back on by connecting the phone to the pc through ActiveSync, and change the settings accordingly.
Hard- or softresets shouldn't be necessary to solve this.
@phonealarm users,
you can fix the unserious backlight bug if you are using at least v.1.57 or higher and set all backlight settings (battery and pluged) in used profiles to the option < LEAVE UNCHANGED >
@all
happy new year!
Ok! so i am not alone! a couple of times i did face this situation. the screen doesnt come up, but the device is on, and i am able to see a slight silhoute of the icons, very very light. and i have to do a softreset to get it back on.

Yep, that´s it! In every app offering different profiles (like PocketZenPhone, PA, etc.) Settings for Backlight (including Minutes to switch off) must be exactly the same in each profile! Maybe <Leave unchanged> will work, too!

Hey Guys,
We appreciate the posts about Phone Alarm, but if you just read this entire thread before posting you would have seen that this is old news and this issue was resolved in post #9!
Thanks anyway!
Oh, and Happy New Year as well!
hi,
please, tell me if pa reminders for sms and missed calls work fine in your p3300.
i have installed spb pocket plus and pa and the reminders for pa not work now.
please, if this combination works for you, explaine your config settings.
thank's
Is this happening to anyone else?
The power button and volume buttons work but the screen is entirely unresponsive. The only remedy is to remove the battery. It has happened three times but not predictably enough to reproduce.
The phone is rooted with IORoot and I'm running Xposed, G3Tweaksbox with quite a few of the theming options enabled (inc. status bar and lockscreen contents). I also disabled the Knock feature through the hidden settings. I'm completely aware that customization might be the cause, but curious if anyone else has had similar symptoms or knows of relevant bugs.
Happens to me as well, D855 version. It happens once a day but i can unfreeze it, i keep tapping the screen and pressing randomly power and volume buttons. It unfreezes after 5-6 seconds but it's by no means a FIX. This should not happen on a new phone and i'm thinking of selling mine and buying some other model by a different manufacturer.
No combination of screen presses for any amount of time gets it working. It's happening 4-5 times a day and is only resolved by taking out the battery.
I tried the method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792580 but my firmware version did not change.
It only happen to me if I disable the Knock feature..Try to activate the knock feature and see if it helped
Thanks, @bollefinn. Enabling Knock does seem to resolve the problem. Of course, it creates new problems with the phone turning on in pockets, but that's of less concern.

Hi,
I've had my M9 for a couple of weeks now, and slowly getting it to work how I want it to. One thing nagging me is this weird issue I have with waking the device from sleep.
I have tried to disable all the gesture/smart wake features (double tap the screen, etc). The issue I'm having seems to relate to the light and/or proximity sensor. It seems (and I haven't been able to find any info on this, online or on the phone) that there is a feature which will enable the device to wake up when being picked up or taken out of my pocket. This doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. When I pull my phone from my pocket, it will sometimes wake up. When I glide my finger over the front camera & light sensor, it will sometimes wake up. This is a minor annoyance, as I would like to only be able to wake my device by hitting the power button.
It gets really annoying when these 'gesture' wakes start to interfere with the power button wake. For example (and this is happening more often than not), when I pull my phone out of my pocket, the phone is off, then I hit the power button once, and the phone still doesn't wake. Hitting the power button a second time will wake the device. It seems to me that the smart waking is some how interfering with the manual waking.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
Any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks a lot for any help.
This is really odd considering the M9 doesn't support air gestures. Sorry, I have no solution, but is it possible you may have installed an app that may be causing this?
I would think two button push would be the normal, otherwise you could accidentally hit it once and turn the screen on. Do you have Ambient display and pocket detection all turned off ?
Gravity Screen in the play store gives you total control of all that stuff
That for the replies guys.
Clsa, there is no way to disable ambient display & pocket detect because those features do not exist on the M9 (at least... Not that I have found). That's what is bugging me.
I don't think the 2 button press is normal. I've never had to do it on previous phones.
Fernand - not sure if it is another app causing it. I think I have no extra apps installed compared to my last phone.
I just tried Gravity Screen, and it seems to just give me the ability to enable all the features I want to disable.
Any other suggestions?

Settings / Display & Gestures / Ambient display (Wake screen when device is picked up or notifications arrive)
Pocket Detection is part of some Rom Tweaks (insertcoin & viperOne if i remember right)
Hi again, that option is not available on my phone. Do you see it on your M9?
I don't have a custom ROM. Not rooted either.

Yes I have it, but I'm on LeeDroid right now. He adds so much stuff i forget whats "custom" and whats stock
Got the same issue
The power button will ignore the first push while standing by for a long time. Thought it might be caused by apps like greentify?
Hi Ducati, is that a fact or is that just how you understand it? Seems strange that that would be intentional. But it definitely seems to be the case.
I do not have greenify installed either.
Do you get similar behaviour on your One?
After a bit more testing. I can confirm that there are some sort of air gestures on this device. I can wave my finger in front of the front light sensor/camera, and the device will wake.
This doesn't happen all the time, I am not always able to reproduce this. But right now, it is happening. Can anyone else reproduce this?
http://somevid.com/N1OnU8JS
I have the same issue on my M9. Glad I found this thread. Thought my power button was defective.
I can't activate any gestures by waving my hand.
I think it's happening mostly when waking from deep sleep.
I know it's an old thread, but I just installed CyanogenMod 12.1 and I guess my google-fu is rusty. I find that if I hit the power button in quick succession (double click) it turns off the phone. Anyone know how I can stop this?
By quick succession I mean multiple times within 20 seconds
Anybody else having issues with the pixel screen not turning on? I get haptic feedback when I touch the screen but the screen doesn't come on. I have to hold down the power button to reboot. It only does it every now and then, I think it's the immersive mode that's causing it.
I am using double tap to lock (Nova Prime) and double tap to wake (settings > system > languages, inputs and gestures),
and once in a while, my double tap to wake (I presume during deep sleep) takes several taps to register.
I'm having the same issue too. Haven't found a solution yet.

I'm using Nova Prime too, but not the DTTL feature, and I'm not seeing this issue. I am using the DTTW in Settings (8.1). Have you tried toggling off DTTL in Nova for a while? Stranger things have happened.

I'm not using Nova' DTTL, just DTTW in settings. Also using immersive move with system tuner. Not quite sure why i can't get it to wake when it happens. Ambient display turns off and its just a dark screen. Fingerprint reader registers because you can feel the vibration, but the display remains off. I tried flashing 8.1 again and reinstalled magisk, but the issue is still there. happens randomly.

I believe there is a problem with Oreo and immersive mode. I had the same thing happen to me. Screen would go black if I pushed the power button but finger print scanner worked as you could feel the vibration. Also if you press lock again you get the screen lock sound.

Remove Magisk manager and remove Root entirely. Rooting is what caused it for me, I guess I had an older version of Magisk manager installed so I went to the official Magisk thread and downloaded and installed the latest Magisk manager app then flash the Magisk zip file via twrp and I haven't had a problem since

Thanks I appreciate the help. I ended up going back to stock. The issue got progressively worse.
I too have this issue, I'm almost positive the phone does this when when the screen times out. If I press power button to turn it off I never have the issue. I only think that's what causes it but i think there's more to it, like having magisk and being rooted. Just assumptions. I also noticed that when this happens Android thinks the screens on, I have an app that lets me use active edge to turn on flashlight and it turns light on even though the screen isn't actually on. Even in battery settings it shows my sot being higher than it should.
I experienced the issue. I did have the immersive mode, rooted with magisk, edge sense, and was using substratum. After I installed an up to date module for edge sense in Magisk manager, I haven't seen it since. I think it's the previous outdated Magisk module that's doing it. Could be the base Magisk module as well.
Same issue here... very frustrating. I dropped $6 on this launcher primarily for just the tap to sleep / wake feature on my Pixel 2 XL and can't wake it. It's locked in a deep sleep. I'm forced to press the power button once and then it just wakes to ambient screen on double tap afterwards. THEN...double tap again to wake. Did I just waste my money? Anyone get a solution to this yet?
I just want to add that I have the same issue but I'm not rooted. Using an immersive mode app. Really hoping this isn't an issue on P.

I've solved this issue for me. I'm using Navigation Bar Hider from the Play Store to force immersive mode. I had to deselect the system UI-type apps from the NBH settings. Since I did that I haven't had any issues waking up the phone. I basically deselected all of the system apps then went back and selected things like Chrome, Calendar, etc.
Me too... With inmersive mode but only when have less of 10-15% of battery .....

So I've recently replaced my screen and I'm getting some strange behaviour with the touch interactivity. I have turned on tap visibility in the developer options and will try and descibe what is happening...
It seems to really dislike some apps, for example on the home screen it is the worst - It sees my fingertip contact when i tap, but its as if i'm holding my fingers down. This is the kind of behaviour in the lock screen too.
The weird thing is though, that I can get to the settings menu through holding the power key > "Side key settings" - and everything works perfectly. In other apps it its also pretty usable - though maybe slightly more laggy sometimes and can hang for a few moments.
I am wondering whether this sounds like a software or a hardware issue to anyone with more expertise? (relatively new to this repair/modding stuff). I have tried downgrading it to a younger version of android with odin but that didn't work. I am also wondering whether rooting might open some possibilities?
Thanks
