Hello!
I have an Motorola XT316 and i'm having some trouble with the Android original locker. When i press the PWR/Lock button for several times, a flashing white screen appears every time i press the lock button. Only for 5 seconds. I have to turn off the phone taking off the battery, put again and power on.
This is normal or only this phone is doing this?
Thanks!

i have an extremely annoying problem with the vibrant
when i put it in my pocket, locked, after a few seconds it would restart.
apparently the power butter gets long pressed if you hold it for 6-8 seconds, your phone will restart, even when locked.
anyone has a fix for that ?
i would greatly appreciate it...
Mine wont power off or reboot if the screen is locked...

Why would you put it in a pocket with anything else in it, you looking to scratch the phone?
I doubt a key or something would be able to "randomly" press the power button in for that long, you sure it's not the phone?
i've retested this again and again.
holding the powet button while phone is locked and screen is off for about 8 seconds does a reboot.
I don't get the shutdown animation, only the startup.
if you can't reproduce it, what mod/kernel are you using?
I'm on stock kernel ji6

Hi guys, I got the HTC Legend, and I'm finding it a pain to have to press on the lock button every time to wake it from sleep and so I want to be able to wake it by pressing on the optical trackpoint or any of the capacitive buttons as well.
It really frustrates me sometimes if I forget I've turned it off already and I try to wake it, so I press the power button, and it boots up instead and I have to wait for it to turn on only to turn it off again.
If anyone knows any solution please help me. It's driving me insane. On the iPhone I could just press the home button to wake and it wouldn't turn on the phone if it's off. I'm on stock Froyo 2.2 with sense UI, not rooted. Would prefer not to root and definitely not install a new ROM as it is not my phone and I don't want to mess with it too much. Thanks.
you could use an app like widgetlocker to achieve this. link to market
I'm curious, how the phone turns off when u press the power button to unlock the screen.
Do you have the lock screen setup? It should not be able to turn off untill screen is unlocked then the power button pressed and held again.

Trackball waking cannot be done via froyo sense! If you are willing to root your phone then flash Cm 7.1 as your rom. Then you can go to settings to activate trackball waking.
Other than that you can look around the market for apps that allow this.

what I meant was to unlock the screen while the phone is on by pressing any button apart from the power button, because at night I turn off my phone (the normal way), then I forget if I've turned it off or not, so I press the power button again, and then the startup screen appears - Sh*t! so I have to wait for it to turn on again so I can turn it off.
So essentially I want to press the capacitive buttons or trackpoint so that
1. It will unlock the phone if it is on.
2. It will not turn on the phone if it is off

hmm thanks. But when I looked through the comments everyone finds it a huge battery drain... So I'd rather not.
Thanks for the suggestions guys but if anyone knows an app that can does this it'd be great! So frustrating!

Currently no app except for widget locker and some launchers allow this. The only other way is to root and flash.

I think what he is saying is that he can't check if the phone is off or not.
Why you don´t use the rom from blay0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866849)? It is based on HTC stock version and has several extensions and wake on trackpad. It is very stable and i had no problems with this rom in the last months.
My Power button quit working yesterday. I am trying to remap my volume button to wake the screen, and be the new power button. I can't seem to get it to work. I am rooted and I am using root explorer to edit the text.
I have found a number of apps that will wake my screen and some of them work okay, but I have to have lock screen enabled because of my corporate email, and once the screen locks, the apps don't work.
Also, I am worried that if my phone ever get's powered down (runs out of battery), I don't know how I would turn it back on.
Any advice???

I need a physical button. I'm rooted on Gingerbread and I want to update to ics but I can't figure out how to fastboot without a physical power button
There's a few apps in the store like 'quickboot' that'll allow you to boot into fastboot if rooted. Just remember for menus like recovery, you're likely to be stuck once you need to use the power button to select an option

Send it to service to get it repaired. It's pretty cheap for repairing a single 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...
My phone Micromax a210 isn't turning on at all.
I was uploading some video to What's app. And suddenly i had to press the home button. Then, my phone gets Hanged up!
Then, i though just pressing the lock button and unlocking it will bring back. But to my surprise, the phone locked (Screen off) and doesn't turn on at all.
There is no way to remove battery too. It had some 50% battery in it. I even tried charging it. But doesn't turn on at all. It had it CHARGING LIGHTS ON when i plugged in the power source. But, phone doesn't turn on.
I'm not pretty sure whether it had shut down or that application is killing it.
Please give me some ideas to bring back my phone. It's a new one. Just 3 days old :crying:
Hold your power button and both your volume buttons simultaneously for about 10secs
