I'm hoping someone else has already solved this issue, but I seem to be running into serious problems with AOSP CM ROMs with regards to the power button. Recently I actually bricked my original EVO 4G LTE and got a "new" one via the insurance replacement program with Sprint. I immediately obtained rooted, installed recovery, and obtained S-off. I then proceeded to install CM10.2 (deck's build) and am actually still running 9/20 version of this ROM.
My problem with the power-button is that it sometimes does not respond to a press where it may not wake the screen or sleep the screen. Sometimes it takes 2, 3 or more presses to get it to respond. Additionally, sometimes after the screen sleeps it will immediately wake again. It's as if the button is not properly de-bounced. My first thought was that the power-button was physically broken.
So as an experiment I rolled back to previous versions of CM10.1 and got the same results, even after clean flashes. Then I tried rolling back the stock ROM which came with the phone, from a nandroid backup. Shockingly, no power button issues at all. So with a sense based ROM, it seems to work perfectly, but a AOSP based ROM (specifically, CM10.x) I see the issues.
Could this be a kernel issue? Anyone else seen or resolved this issue already?
Thanks. Sincerely,
Frustrated.
Yeah I have that sometimes too although occasionally it won't even wake up and will have shut off by itself

Promising update.
I updated the latest TP firmware from Captain Throwback, on a whim. While it doesn't seem to have fixed the issue, it seems much improved. The jury is still out - and it's only been an hour or so since I installed, so this is hardly enough data to say definitively. But promising.

Yup, spoke too soon. Still having issues. The search continues.
I just got a replacement evo lte and my power button sucks.. I gotta hold it down for a few seconds to wake or lock and that was before root.. I'm rooted now and on sense 5 r145 but I use the swipe to unlock and lock and it works great.. I said forget the power button...

So your power button was bad with the stock ROM too? That's a bummer. At least mine seems to work OK with the stock ROM. Maybe I should try some modified stock ROMs to see if there is a difference there.
You're not alone. My brother and I both have EVO's and we're both experiencing this issue. It's annoying as hell having to press the power button multiple times to wake the device. Didn't start having this issue until the end of the CM.1 cycle. I also went back to Sense and found no problems. It only appears to occur on non sense ROMs. Does anyone have any insight to this or possibly a fix?
It's a kernel issue. That problem did not pop up until the 3.4 kernels started coming out.

Well that's great news (sort-of) and means that some day someone could potentially resolve this in the kernel. Maybe we need to X-Post with the CM10.2 development forum, unless they are already aware and are working on this.

There were certain nightly/kernel mixes with the 10.2 and Haunted kernel that seemed to clear it up for me.
I can't for the life of me remember which combination. Sorry.
One thing that alleviated that for me a bit was enabling "Volume Buttons Wake Up Handset" or whatever it was.

Haunted Kernel 31 + Unofficial CM10.2 9/20 Build (Deck) appears to still have issues. Although it seems a bit better than before. As to whether this introduces new issues, I'm not sure yet.
The work on the kernel is ongoing. Trust me, it's way better than it was before.

Yup, expected to have a few hiccups using bleeding edge ROMs & kernels. Glad to hear that these types of things are being addressed. The Haunted kernel definitely makes things much, much better. It's definitely daily driver quality now.
As a side note, I've also noted that the WiFi seems to work better with the Haunted kernel as well. Not sure if that's related, but where I used to have difficulty staying connect to WiFi at home and at work, it now seems rock solid. Still a bit too early to be definitive, but so far so good.

Haunted Kernel is still behind some, last I checked. So while you may have some benefits, you will lose/miss some fixes/optimizations. But to each his own.

Good to know. I will keep flashing and keep trying the new builds as they become available. For now, this seems to be a good combo for me. The current Haunted governor actually kinda seems to be draining the battery fast so I may tweak that. Anyway, thanks for all the responses here, this has really enlightened me on this issue.

Ever since I flashed EB01 I have been having problems with screen responsiveness, It will seem to work fine then after awhile will work selectively.
When I had voodoo installed, it started to do it I was running superclean 2.4
I flashed today back to EB01 Stock rooted non-voodoo, was still seeing it after awhile.
I also just flashed MIUI to play with today, and still am seeing it.

I have the same problem, with any ROM that is not an official ROM from Verizon. It seems to be happening as soon as I root it. It is intermittent and locking and then unlocking the screen fixes it.

Happens to me too. Seems to get worse with time. I was running superclean but flashed back to stock because the responsiveness got so bad my phone wasn't really usable. Happening again with debloated froyo too
It's happened to me on every Froyo ROM, even vanilla on occasion. It's probably just Samsung's ****ty kernel and so there's nothing much that can be done until there's source to work with.

I think I might have found a solution. I went into stock recovery and wiped cache. After a reboot I no longer have the responsiveness issues.
Edit: unfortunately I still have the unresponsiveness issues...seems it was temporary fix. Also, it is always the middle of my screen from top to bottom which becomes unresponsive. How about the rest of you guys?

His post contributed nothing as it provided no useful information to the op. He's looking for an ans...who cares if it worked for him. If that's the case we would have over a hundred posts pop up in here saying "mine works". If that's what you're going to say then at least provide some information the op cam use.
I too have been perplexed with this problem. Posted up in general but no solution has been found. I usually get so annoyed I go back to eclair for a while till I get ambitious enough to try again.
I will also point out that I loose all screen sensitivity when the charger is plugged in. Yes, stock charger and does not do this at all on eclair.

My phone and girls phone do this, mine is on sc2.4, hers is on sc2.2.
Its only slightly annoying at the moment for me, but she texts a lot and complains about the keyboard not working all the time.
The only unresponsiveness that I've noticed is that when I need to end a call, I find that I frequently have to tap "End" multiple times.
I'm also running Beautiful Widgets, so I assumed that that might have something to do with it.
Since BW requires an extra screen tap when coming out of a locked screen, I was assuming it was just a bug with the widget until I saw these posts.
Ok look if your useing set cpu and you set it to on demand your going to see lag but if you have this app and set it to conservative you will not have lag. If you are useing this app this will help you if thats your prob. If not them I suggest you DL'ed it to help your over all speed. I'm useing go launcher ex. Also as a side note I don't have any prob with my phone.

I haven't applied it yet, but I want to, just to see if it will fix the massive issues I've had with this phone. I know it supposedly breaks root, but I don't care about that. I know it also should fix the missing phone icon on the lockscreen (broken in 1.13.651.7).
Any issues?
It suck. Gps doesn't work when I really need it to, home page goes blank after hitting home from texting (sometimes), Gps symbol stays crossed out after turning off and back on, and worst of all front facing camera doesn't work...instead I get the rear image fliped upside down.

Why don't u just backup and flash the stock ROM with the update built in and see. U can test it out without losing root

I dont know why your camera does not work because mine and about 8-13 other evo 3d's my friends own all work after the ota. Our gps locks on hella lot faster also. I have literally NO issues so far. plus, my battery life, increased by a whole day with heavy texting, bluetoothing music to my headphone for 6+ hours a day, and 3g pandora.
My only Quirk that bugs me is when unlocking the screen sometimes it goes into the camera but that is it.
I dont notice much difference other than that

Same here + the camera looks better.
Initially, I was disappointed by the performance of the ROM, but I later found that my tweaking I did to build.prop (increase dalvik vm, gui forced to run hardware acceleration) was actually causing this version to perform poorly compared to the 1.13.651.7 ROM. After not using those tweaks anymore, the 2.08.651.2 update is running smoothly. Only complaint I have is with the new CIQ spyware that is on this version However, it is easily removed with custom kernel and uninstalling the proper apks.
Love it. Camera green hue is gone for me. Built in screen caputure (power+home button). Adjusting volume no longer cause stutter when viewing videos. Everything just runs smoother. I say upgrade away.
Thanks for all your responses.

A couple of these problems I've had before upgrading anything (GPS went out once when I was outside in the middle of LA, GPS icon stays on/off after switching it off/on). Hopefully I won't get your other issues, but everything else is going wrong with this phone, so I'll probably try the custom-rom-upgrade first.

Haven't rooted yet because if it's this buggy when I'm using it like it supposed to be used, I fear it will be twice as bad and maybe bricked when I actually try to get tricky with it.

I have to say...Stock roms being buggy does not equate to custom roms being twice as buggy. I would highly recommend you root before taking the OTA and checking out some custom roms. You might be quite surprised with the performance. Just my 2 cents though. Good luck either way!

My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! -Security Off-
i have tried almost all the roms out there, sense, no sense etc and the rezound is SO laggy. especially on ICS. the last thing i tried yesterday, was the stock LEaked ICS, and i debloated it myself, and it is so slow. i had to do a battery pull 4 times on the way home last night while using instagram. honestly, im using my INC2 now, and it is so much less laggy and faster on both, ICS and GB
the specs are so nice, but man, its terrible. the ONLY thing i have not tried are custom GB roms. i SO love the look and feel of this phone, and the battery life is good. but man, i cant take the laggyness. i sooooo want to solve this
thoughts?
maybe you have a lemon?
Not sure what lag you're seeing. Mine is pretty good. Every now and then some lag will creep up but overall its lagfree and snappy.
Most roms I've tried even gb roms are somewhat laggy except rezrom gb. Nils business ics is also good for me. Ics lag is mainly due to kernel as there is no source yet. Is the stock Rom laggy for you as well? I've noticed this phone doesn't respond too well to underclocking like my EVO did

How does one define lag anyways? What I might think is fast and quick maybe to slow for you. But as the others have said you may have a lemon. Look in the general thread for on how to s on. You will have to run the latest Gb ruu then do the s on command. I do not know it of the top of my head right now.. but make sure you are on a signed stock hboot before you s on
there's got to be something wrong with your phone. i'm still on stock & performance wise it's comperable to the galaxy nexus. oh and battery life sucks on all 4g phones.

Very true....i define lag as, when i press the home button, it takes a sec or two to get to home, all other phones i have owned goes right to home. opening apps, kinda slow compared to other phones as well. typing, VERY laggy unless i shut off vibration and the pop ups...
try factory reset it help sometimes after debloating

Ahh hrm maybe it's just the Sense 4.0 ROM's that Instagram may or may not work on....haven't run a 3.6 ROM in a long time
I have a similar problem to the original post. It has been taking about 2-3 seconds to enter settings, bookmarks within browser, etc. I have boiled it down to maybe a hardware issue. My phone ran great on GB though, so idk.I am rooted with s-off on the ICS leak with the fixed kernel. It usually runs good after first installing a rom, but then lag along. And this is with no apps downloaded.
I have another unrooted, non s-off Rezound with GB and it flies. I think I am going to switch to that. Hopefully when we get official ICS I can compare the two devices.
Long story short, I have the same problem but I am finding most people don't have this lag issue. Don't know what is causing it. Maybe I screwed up my hardware during s-off.

I have no clue, good question though. Worth looking into for others. Although I think there is a way to get back to S-ON in a thread in the Development section? My phone was Stock S-Off so I lucked out with that, so I'm sure I can, I'm sure you would be able too as well.
I recently flashed my Samsung Fascinate with PowerWashed Team's PWGB Version 2.0 (Beta 3). I'm terribly new to using custom ROMs, but I'm quite pleased with the results. I've only had one concern with this ROM regarding the back light on the soft keys. They light up every time I touch my screen or press a hard key.
I've attempted to find a setting for this in the OS and in CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x screen, but wasn't able to find such a setting (Again, I'm very green so it could be right under my nose and I simply don't know it.)
I also attempted to install myriad apps to keep the back light off on screen touch including:
Screen Filter (No effect)
Night Mode (No effect)
Light Flow Lite - LED Control (No effect)
Light Manager - LED Settings (This app actually stops the back light from coming on, however it's unpredictable and works >15% of the time)
I've also done a lot of searching on the matter. I've seen where others have stated the problem, but none where there was a solution or enough information for me to further investigate a way to fix this. It's also been complicated to find information due to a variety of search terms (soft keys, led, etc.) yielding results about the camera or other things that are unrelated to my issue coupled with my lack of direct knowledge on the matter.
I'd really appreciate any advice on either directly fixing this or a source of information so I may learn more from what is causing this behavior and fixing it myself. Thanks, everyone for all the time and effort you've put in for making things like this accessible to individuals like me. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
This behavior is a product of the kernel, and most people find it desirable. If you install the kernel control app nstools, you should see an option called cmled timeout, allowing you to set the led backlight timeout.

Thanks for the information! Unfortunately, the ROM I flashed has a stock kernel and doesn't offer this option. So, I suppose that's the first thing I need to address, but now I know where the problem lies! Thank you so much for your time and input, I'll put it to good use.
Are you saying the back lights light up even if you just touch the screen? That's strange, they only have ever lit up for me when I actually touch a soft key or hit the power button to wake the phone up.
Well good luck, I'm not sure what kernel is best for GB as I started flashing custom roms during ICS and I'm now on Jelly Bean and never going backwards.

Yes, exactly this. It is really odd and very bothersome when trying to read at night. Even if I use the volume rocker to turn the page the lights will come on. It's maddening. I'm currently looking at the kgb kernel, but I think the nstools led option isn't actually going to address this quirk. (Directly, I believe I will end up disabling the led altogether)
If you don't mind, what rom did you choose?(Ignore, I was on mobile and did not see your signature at the time)
How has the performance been? I'm interested in doing the same, but was afraid my fascinate wouldn't handle jb very well.
Well needless to say it's different for everybody when it comes to roms, sometimes your phone will have no problem running a certain rom where as someone else's might not even boot. As for myself I've been pretty fortunate and have been able to try any rom I've wanted to with success, and I'll give you a few of my thoughts on it.
If you're wondering about performance, well simply put JB blows everything else away and runs like a dream on the Fascinate. Once you spend a few days with it you'll never want to go back honestly. Even on our aging hardware, it runs amazingly fast, even without kernel performance tweaks.
Anyway, as far as roms go, if you're most concerned with stability and reliability then I would highly suggest CM10 (whatever the latest nightly version is). Of all the roms I've tried, it's by far the one that's given me the least hassle. That said, I'm quite fond of the tweaks offered in AOKP, mainly the voltage settings (for battery life) and the fact that it seems to vibe much better with Devil kernel than CM10 does. I've been running my current rom/kernel for a couple of weeks now, and I'm happy enough with how it's running to keep it as my daily driver for a while.
This isn't to say the GB roms aren't any good, because of course they are, but considering how nice JB roms run on our phone you'd be doing a disservice by not at least giving them a shot.

You sold me on the idea of JB. Flashed it today, and I love it so far. Plus, my soft key lights aren't constantly on! Win-win.
Thank you so much for the guidance. Your input helped turn a satisfactory experience with ROMs into a trully positive one.
Glad to hear you liked it man, I was reluctant at first too due to (at the time) no 'official' releases, but I'm glad I made the jump. I'm quite enjoying AOKP M1 and will probably stay on it for a long time. Which rom did you end up trying?

I was really impressed with your review, so I chose to go with the same rom. It also seemed like the most stable option and easiest for me to understand the installation procedure (very important for me since this is my only device and more than just my daily driver, it's my life line). I had been extremely hesitant to go to JB for fear of junking my phone up, but I'm really glad I took the extra risk. I just needed an extra bit of encouragement. Thanks again for all your input!
If you managed to install AOKP smoothly you can pretty much install any rom the same way, basically meaning wipe data and cache/davlik then flash whatever you want to. Luckily this phone happens to be very hard to break, and you'd have to do something pretty extreme to brick it. I highly recommend Titanium backup pro so you can just backup the apps you want, and restore them in no time when you're trying different roms. Also, I've been using some voltage settings that make battery life insanely good, so if you're interested in doing that let me know and I'll post them.

Regarding the key back light, since you are on aokp jellybean now if you still want to tweak the settings, goto settings and then device settings. There you can adjust the timeout on them

just a little hint: NEVER RESTORE SYSTEM APPS WITH TITANIUM YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP

I've restored Nova before that was a system backup with no problems but I agree about anything else. Not sure what system apps anyone would even want to backup really

I've actually done that before just to see what happened (system settings) and it didn't bootloop, it simply didn't restore anything. Not that I mind re-setting everything after a clean install, just figured I'd try to save a little time

Are you trying too teach him too restore system apps lol?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2
Nope not at all, just chiming in on what happened when I tried it. It should be a no brainer to anyone flashing roms to not restore system apps, even if they're new to it honestly

I know but it would surprise you I've had people complain because they flashed a i9000 ROM and it didn't work because the developer is stupid LOL

When I try to delete something (T-Mobile's loud bootanimation jingle), or try to add something (busybox as a system app), the phone reboots. Also, busybox binaries aren't able to install. AdAway doesn't stay enabled after a reboot. I'm unlocked+rooted+TWRP recovery.
Anyone have a clue whats going on?
EDIT: Flashing a kernel and/or rom that has system write enabled fixes this issue.
I think has to do with S-On being enabled. At least with Adaway.
Seems like an issue with Sense, that'd be my first guess. I know I was having this issue with a previous phone. Sense is linked into a LOT.

I had a HTC G2/DZ, and was able to get s-off via gfree (using command prompt -- ANNOYING). How and when are we able to get s-off for the M7-UL? And does S-off = NAND protected meaning little to no system changes?
Look at the HTC one sub forums. You have to install one of the Roms there to get system write. The HTC one over seas is the same as the tmo one. When I get mine next week, I will be using their roms.

I would, but I keep hearing about radio/RIL+signal issues. But I guess I can just backup my current rom and test out those International ROMs to see if I have any issues. Will report back later.
Aren't there kernels that enable system r/w? I'm not sure if it would mess up WiFi calling thoigh. Is there anything in the kernel for WiFi calling that would be lost with one of the custom kernels?

I'm not sure. I've always been flashing kernels, but never heard about enabling system r/w. I just flash them to get better performance and to tweak it via kernel app.
I've been running ARHD with a custom kernel (for logo2menu) for the last half day, no problems yet. Signal has given me no problems. Switches between 3G/4G here at work, but all my TMO phones have done that simply due to HSPA+ not being so strong here. Even stock ROM did it, even though it always insisted on saying 4G even when it was on UMTS.

Off topic but are you sure that its bad coverage? Most basebands are designed to drop to UMTS when data isn't in use to save battery life over locking two carriers on HSPA...

Definitely coverage. It happens even while I'm using data at times. My work is on the fringe of HSPA+ coverage in this area. When I head into the city, it stays on H+ pretty consistently.

He's correct. 3G = Idle/sleep data -- 4G/H+ = Active data. But our phone just shows 4G constantly, instead of the on/off switch. But what your explaining sounds off. Never seen that, and I just came from a GNex with the 3G/H+ switch.
But anyways, back on topic. I will try tweaked a Sense 5.0 rom when I get home soon. Is there a kernel with touch2wake (screen or htc logo)? Hate where htc placed the power button (i'm right handed, as most ppl).

Well if it helps, I always mean UMTS when I say 3G and always mean HSPA+ when I say 4G. Since that's all I really see around here, besides 2G (Edge) of course.
And I thought I saw a kernel or two with touch2wake, but I could be wrong. I'm using the tbalden kernel which offers a few different tweaks like that (though I only specifically remember volume wake and logo2menu).
Edit: Just checked, and it only had home2wake. Although I imagine if you look at the files used for home2wake and logo2menu, you could probably make one that does logo2wake.

Thanks for the info. Leaving work now.

Here's a kernel from the international forum.. I think it'd work but I really dont know. I haven't got my phone yet. It says system write. Probably worth trying though
All HTC One firmware should work on our phone. Unless you flash a radio with the Rom, which is impossible ATM. I'm using trickdroid 5.1 and everything is working fine, apns and all!
Trickdroid has holding the back button as a menu button and it works fine. I'd rather stay on the stock kernel unless someone makes a kernel that is way different than stock.
I do have the tmobile version!

they put the power button there because the power button is also a IR sensor for a TV remote and stuff. I like having the power button on top more since holding the phone up right, you can sometimes hit the power button and not mean too. This is if the power button is on the side. I hit the power button my Nexus 4 1 or 2 times aday because i didn't mean to because it covered by my hand holding the phone.

Keep hearing about trickdroid. Might be my first rom to test out on this phone. Glad to hear its working well for you. And the funny thing is, I like to see the on-screen menu button. I'm coming from the GNex with on-screen buttons. So "seeing" the menu button in a "legacy" app is really nice instead of "guessing" there might be a menu. Wish all apps followed Google's App Guidelines by now.

Well I know about the IR sensor. But I was saying its in a bad spot on the TOP. It should be on the right side on the TOP, so you can easily hit it with your trigger finger. Now I have to awkwardly hit the power button. The right side of the phone would've been nice also. That;s why I can't wait to flash a kernel with touch2wake (double tap the screen or tap the htc logo).
Definitely can second the TrickDroid recommendation, although there aren't huge differentiators between any of the international ROMs I've tried (TrickDroid, Android Revolution, OrDroid). Many of the tweaks are available as standalone flashables or through Xposed framework too, if you're familiar with that.
As for kernels, I'm using tbalden's kernel. It has both menu on HTC logo and touch to wake, though I don't use the latter.
Basically if you're interested in ROMs/kernels, don't waste your time here, go to the international One forum. As others have mentioned, all international ROMs work on all GSM variants of the One, including ours.

I've already have (rom+kernel). Check the sig .. But hopefully we start to get some great Tmo based roms. Or atleast some kinda internal stuff in the rom to enable during the flash/aroma process.
