I don't have this exact problem but sometimes I have to press power button 2-3 times to wake it up.... kind of annoying
hmmmmm....I've been having problems turning my on, but I thought it was isolated to occurring only when it was docked.
I'll have to check this out. I've not tried the charging option. The only way I've been able to get my on was pressing volume+power buttons.
( you are talking wake up from sleep or wake up from being powered down?

I saw this happen only when the battery in the dock got < 20% and after the prime had been asleep for several minutes. Hitting the power button does nothing until I removed the dock. Then a long press on the power button wakes it up (not a reboot).
Maybe they didn't optimize the charging from dock --> tab correctly?

Hey guys, i noticed when pressing the power button to turn the LCD on, it turns on a second or two after being pressed. Is there any way to make it turn on instantly when you press the power button? Its kind of annoying to me since im used to all my other phones turning on right away when being pressed.
It's probably due to the fact that your phone is exiting deep sleep.

@op's post i have noticed it too, with s-voice disabled on double pressing the home key ; @demonor, that is true but lighting up the screen using the home is faster than the power key even if it isn't already in deep sleep.
just try doing it over and over again, lighting the screen up is instantaneous as compared to about almost a second after when you use the power button to light the screen up.
same here... it's really annoying... thought i'm the only one..

Try turn off wave effect, it should help.
It is a weird problem. Not a killing one, but still it's absurd.
How would I know that my phone is sleeping (standby) or completely shut down (off)?
You may say, just press the power button on backside. But if I do that, that's going to turn on the phone anyway if it was off.
I want to know without turning the phone on whether the phone is actually off or not.
Any idea guys? Any way to find out?

When you press shortly on the power botton- if the phone is sleeping the screen will turn on to the lock screen, if the phone is off it will turn on to the red M initial screen.
That is a really weird question, why should you ask it? if you turned your phone off it is off, if you just turned the screen off it is asleep (shhhh, don't disturb him :silly: )
:cyclops:
I don't want to disturb him, that's what I want.

If the phone was sleeping, I would know as it will show lock screen when I press the power button. But if it was off and I press the power button, it will turn on the phone. And I don't want that. I just want to know whether the phone is off, and if it is off I don't want to disturb him.
In other phones, they have separate unlock button, here it is combined with power. That's the problem. But moto could have made long press for turn on and short press for unlock. I think there is no solution to my problem. :crying: Thanks anyways.

Call your number?
Plug in the headset and press the headset button?
Plug in the charger?
Pair it with wifi/bluetooth and see if connection is alive from paired device?
I'm sure there are hundreds of other creative ways to find out whether the phone is off or on standby without pressing the power button.

I know what you mean, like in the Nokia 700 (or any symbian phones), there are two seperate buttons, where the lock button does not switch on the phone, but instead the power button does. I know some Android devices need a long press to switch on, while a short press does nothing while off, but Motorola doesn't use this "feature".

If you use a CM based rom you can set the volume rocker to wake the phone. If you use a blur based rom you can install an app from the play that does the same.
:cyclops:
Thanks!

i only know 3 situations:
1. powered on - locked (screen is off)
2. powered on - unlocked (screen is on)
3. powered off.

Or use light flow app and turn on a led indicator for phone signal.

Anyone else have this issue? When I short press the power button to turn off the screen, it sometimes looks like it's going to turn the screen off then turns back on to the lock screen.
This has caused me all kinds of pocket dialing / pocket shortcut making / pocket emailling issues.
I THINK this issue might be caused by the Screebl app (app that keeps screen on when being held) since I can't replicate it with it off. I really would like to use it though because it's a really useful app. Any suggestions?
I can't half press my power button. It just turns off when I apply little pressure
Must be an isolated issue

It's not a half press. It's a short press (vs long press - which would bring up the power menu to shut down, restart, etc). It turns the screen off, then it blinks back on to the lock screen, but seemingly only when Screebl is enabled. Might just have to drop that app, but I'd rather not because it's damn useful.

Your last paragraph seems as if you've already isolated the problem. Unfortunately, I think you know your only choice. I'd consider contacting the creator of the app.

If i do a very quick short press with netflix open it brings me to the lock screen. no big deal
Hey, I just wanted to confirm that this is not just isolated to your phone. I have had this issue with two phones so far, a Samsung Vibrant and an HTC One S. I've been looking for an answer as well, but so far turning off Screebl has been the only solution. Sucks because I love Screebl.
So, for the past few days, I've had to push the power button three times to turn the screen on. Yesterday it completely stopped working, and had to use a Viper tweak to use volume buttons as power button. Late last night it has been working so-so. Aby ideas?

This is more of a workaround than a fix, but MeanBean has the option to use the camera button to turn the screen on, to hold the home button to load the advanced power menu, and to hold the back button to turn the screen off. You can get by pretty well without ever using the actual power button.
Sometimes, when I press power button to turn on my screen, just capacitive buttons turn on, but the screen doesn't. And I do it few times again after it, still nothing, just buttons turn on and off. Only solution is to remove the battery and restart phone that way, which is quite annoying if happens often.. Any solution to this? Thank you.
It happens on my HD2 too. It's related to Wi-Fi - turn it off before pressing power button.

Any other solution? Because turning wifi off every time when I turn off do screen would be a big job- especially if I use phone for chatting and srceen is on-off like every 30 seconds, who would turn wifi on-off so many times...
