Having a problem with the screen not turning off whether it's set on a timer or smart stay. The strange part is it is only when I turn off Wi-Fi power save to keep from getting booted from my network. When I reboot my phone, screen turns off fine. As soon as I turn off Wi-Fi power save, the screen just stays on unless I got the power button. Anyone else experiencing this issue or know a workaround?
AT&T
Stock rooted
Im having this problem too.
Any ideas anyone?
Doesnt turn off when I was at stock.
Im on team sonic with trinity now and its the same problem.

After an upgrade to dcd latest ROM 2.2.6 and Radio I have found that when my phone sleeps or I turn it off it doesn’t always turn back on I need to soft reset it. I am even tried an earlier Rom version 2.2.1 and still the problem.
This is a Telecom New Zealand phone and as for normal practice they don't give out their Rom's so I can't just flash back
With some playing I think I have tracked it down to only causing this issue when my data push is enabled ie, don't sync up to an exchange server and the phone works fine.
I am aware from other posts there are others out there with the same issue, can you check if this is the same with your phone. Turn off all your data connections and delete your exchange server and see if you phone then behaves.
I know people are saying it could be the Bootloader but if the above is the cause then I don't think it is in the loader and maybe dcd can help us track it.
I have tracked this problem down to when activesync does a Microsoft Direct puch while the phone is in standby. To connect to our work's mail server we need to also create a VPN connection (not using SSL) as long as I put in a wrong name or password causing activesync never to be able to sync then the power button turns the phone on everytime. If I also connect and sync (while phone is on) then dissconnet my VPN and and change password then the phone still works fine.
Does anyone has any idea where I should be looking, as I would like to have my Direct push email working.
Sorry to jack your thread, but I have a very similar problem. Sometimes when my phone goes on standby when I'm on the phone and my conversation is finished. I cant power back on my phone either. The green light still flashes, but the power button does nothing! Anyone have that same problem?
I've also had this problem. When I press the power button the phone would enter standby mode and when I pressed it again it wouldn't wake up. The only way around it I found for my phone is to install S2U2 and set it so it activates when the backlight turns off. That seems to catch it before it whatever happens to not let the phone wake up happens. So now when I press the power button, the screen cuts off and S2U2 opens. Hope this helps.
I have similar problems. Maybe I'll try using S2U2 ...
Same problems, doesn't seem to wake up if it goes to sleep while VPN is running... any fix?
I had the same issue when I flashed my ROM with the USB connection. It could be the bootloader. because I then used the SD card bootloader and re-loaded my ROM from the SD card and it resolved the issue.
I would recommend reinstalling from the SD card using the no2chem.
Hey,
my gfs Ace is showing some very strange behaviour. At random times when she tries to use it it just won't react to anything. Neither home nor power button unlock the screen, holding power button doesn't do anything (neither turn on nor off). Adb won't connect to the phone. All one can do is remove the battery, after that it'll let you turn it on and work just fine.
Happens like every 2 days and so far I couldn't spot any pattern. Firmware is 2.3.4 KPH
Is anyone else seeing this or any idea what could be causing it?
Yes, it's called SOD (sleep/standby of death) and it happenes to me sometimes and some other people i know that have ACEs...there's no fix i'd know about..yet
does it happen with any firmware or was it just introduced? any idea whether it's just some bad phones so she could get a different without the bug?
So my lumia 710 with the latest software has the following problem...
If my wifi is stopped and I'm trying to start it, it will tell me after few seconds 'no networks found' .
If I turn off the phone with turned on WIFI and then if I turn the phone on, it will find my wifi network, but if I turn wifi off it won't be able to find any networks until a new restart.
And the last case; If the phone goes into sleep while wifi was on , wifi section will get frozen until I remove the battery to force its restart.
Please, is this a software or a hardware problem? Is there a fix? Thank you
Reset the phone, lots of issues after upgrades
I reset it twice but nothing changed. So the short version of my problem is that WIFI will only work if it's started when phone starts.
After I stop it or the or the phone goes to sleep , it can not be started again without a reboot.
Did you reset it using the volume + camera + power buttons ?
neah I didn't know that combination. I gave it back to it's seller.
thank you for your time.
after exchanging my phone due to the reboot problem, im encountering a new problem
my screen sometimes turns on by itself, and if i try to operate it at that point, the screen will turn black and nothing is functional except for the soft buttons and the pull down menu, only restart will solve this
sometimes it will also just crash to black even without the screen turning on by itself scenario
does anyone have the same issue? i suspect this is a software problem
I just got the z5 last night, and experienced the same problem this morning. Turns out that if you give the power button a 'double click', the screen comes back on. So this solves the problem reported above.
HOWEVER, there must be a setting (I hope) which we can change, I find it very irritating that as soon as I make a call, the screen goes blank, and you have to double-click the power button to see what is happening. If anyone knows about such a setting, please let us know!
My screen went black about an hour ago.
After Hotspotting for 40ish minutes so I could use my iPhone on the way to work on the train, I tried to check this forum with my Z5C, the back of it was really hot & after a few minutes, the screen went black & the phone was unresponsive for around 20 seconds & then basically unusable once it came back on, for another 20ish seconds, due to lag.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Did you ever find a resolution for this? it is driving me crazy, I've tried factory resets, software repairs via the Sony Companion and this still occurs, sometimes it won't happen for a week then sometimes it happens multiple times in a row even straight after a reboot. The fix that RohitMayor describes does not work on my device. This phone is really terrible compared to the Z3 Compact
I have the same issue. This pb occurs since i have update my phone to 6.0.1...
Any solution ?
I've got a strange problem with my Sprint Galaxy Note 3.
What's happening is that randomly when I hit the power to turn the screen back on, it will do nothing then the screen will stay blank. The phone clearly still works because if I'm on a call or listening to music it will still keep playing and the volume and other buttons continue to work.
When that happens I hold down the power to turn the phone off and then on and it boots up normally.
Rarely what will happen is the same behavior except the screen will go strangely green after I hit the power button, making the phone unusable until an off/on.
This happens sometimes multiple times a day, sometimes days without happening.
Phone is rooted, running OC5 on Android 5.0. Problem has been happening for months. Haven't made any system upgrades or installed any major apps so that isn't it. I'm thinking it is some kind of loose pin/wire but don't want to crack the phone open without a plan.
Any help appreciated!
