I'm having an issue where the phone powers on but the screen doesn't. Occasionally i can get the screen to light up for a blink up not long enough to do anything. Anyone know of a solution to this issue?

Is it stock? If so, it sounds like a hardware problem. Is the screen off the entire time it boots as well? What do you do to get it to light up?

I just hit the power button and sometimes it comes on for a sec.
doesn't matter now as it won't even power up. Customer services is a bit of a nightmare to deal with.

Have you tried booting into recovery? Hold volume down and the power button.

ok, has anyone else noticed this problem,
sometimes i switch my phone off to save battery and it will switch itself on in my pocket so i need to check every now and then to see if it is really off, however, the only way to switch the screen on is with the power button so if my phone was really off then i have to let it start up and switch it off all over again.
i'm going to have a look for a way to remap the buttons without root as i cant get unrevoked to work and i cant be bothered to go about it the long way
hmm im not sure if this is the same issue, but sometimes the keys on my desire are on with the screen being turned off, im not sure if it happens on its own or what, not a big deal really

I noticed this, it is very annoying!
What ROM are you using? I use DeFrost 2.3 and you can bring the phone out of standby by pushing the trackball button. A second push unlocks the phone.
I dont understand this. If the phone is on, a single short press of the power button will light the screen. If it's off, it needs a long press to turn it back on - therefore it's pretty easy to tell the difference

Mine is unmodified and i'm not planning on changing that until HTC stops issuing updates. Sounds like a good feature though, bit of an oversight on the phone that.

Yes, any sort of press turns the phone on.

Careful, it may burn the LED out if you keep it constantly on.
rofl. this burn stuff is constantly floating aroung and is still crap.
why do you think, they enable the led while charging? because it is likely to burn?
who ever brought that up .......

I agree, I think the only LED to be worried about having on for long periods of time is the SUPER BRIGHT Camera Flash LED. It's obviously a different LED than the charging/notification ones, and snudel makes sense when he says that it's enabled while charging.
snudel, do you have a link for this blue LED app? I don't even think I've ever seen the blue LED on my Desire glow, but it would be neat to have it lit when the phone is "awake".
Cheers!
you can download a blue led app here:

but don't know if this is the one that snudel uses (i think not)

I just tried to call a friend, and then the screen has gone black. I could hear the voicemail recording, but cant do anything about it.
I've tried plugging it into the computer, charging it normally but nothing is working. I think there's been an issue with the proximity sensor at the top of the screen as there is a little red light on.
Is there anything I can do other than sending it back? Lord knows how long that will take and I havent backed up any of my phones data

Try restarting it by holding the power button for ~10 secs

hi
getting replacement phone tomorrow so was just checking forum. anyway i had the same problem but it happened way too many times after making calls. ended up contacting my provider for a new phone.
as im under 28days they will exchange it at my doorstep so i dont have to send it back or not have a phone for a few hours.
btw do not know why this happens but not noticed it on the newer update.

My phone just started acting up really weird. Whenever I would graze the power button (not even when I push it in all the way) the screen would lock and sometimes immediately turn back on. Some times the power menu would come up. Other times it would just restart and go into this weird loop where the screen would be black, the phone vibrates, and the LED just flashes. Does anyone know what I should do about this? I was using CM9, but this happened pretty randomly so I don't think its a software issue.

Try flashing a different ROM. There may a bug or something on that ROM that could be doing that.

You just got a malfunction power button. It happens a lot. You need to call samsung/tmobile for warranty service.

Hello,
My sgh-t989 has just started behaving rather oddly. The screen on the phone does not ever turn on. Not during boot at any point, not after boot, never. It does boot up, the softkey lights respond to the power button being hit, but the screen does not turn on. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or if it is just me. If anyone has any tips, i'm all ears.
Thanks much.

Hello
My phone every day once the state after death. where is the problem from?
Once the phone is turned off. By holding the power button and volume down ten seconds, it becomes clear.

based on you description, i think i just experienced the same problem.
my device was vibrating and then i picked it up, but i found that the screen was freezing when i was trying to unlock my phone.
it just kept freezing and seemed it wont restart by itself so i had to press the volume button and the power button.
