Hey all, mods please delete my other thread as this will sum it up..
Hey devs, I'm facing a strange issue, really strange, I've been flashing roms for 2 years and never faced anything like this..:
It's all about the power button.. whenever I hold it, it doesn't show the options "reboot, turn off, airplane mode".. NO, it just turns off immediately..
The other strange thing:
If I turned screen off, it doesn't even make the sound "tick", and even if I put a password or any lock likd "slide" it doesn't make any affect.. screen is all open..
What the heck is wrong with my phone? Is it a curse
This could be a Unclean Flash and/or The Mainboard of you S2 is f***ed up
Try a other Rom and if it still acts wierd do the Whole Procedure with Reflashing an Original Sammy Rom via odin + Fullwipe and everything
Ofcourse the Powerbutton only could be the Problem (It doesnt release properly anymore)

Hi,
I have the T989 version, although i love my phone it seems that ever since ive started to use different roms my lock screen wont turn on, i cant get it to swipe, pattern, face unlock or anything. Its either screen on or off. Is this normal? Whenever i even restored my original gingerbread rom it still doesnt work.
One more thing, when you hold the power button it usually gives you an option to put it on silent or vibrate or plane mode, well when i press power and hold it it just turns off. What is really going on guy, any help would be great thanx!

You should probably ask here. Though it sounds like your missing your /efs/imei/keystr file.

"there" is the forum for the T989. You can post there. Should probably go to the Q&A forum there instead of here, which is the forum for the I9100. (which is a different model than what you have)
Better there than here, else people point you to do something specific for the I9100, which could potentially brick your phone.
have you checked your settings?
Settings> Security > Screen Lock
it may be on None
I just did a full factory reset of my stock rom and finished restoring my apps but for some reason the screen won't turn off when I leave the device alone.
Screen timeout is set to 30 seconds but no matter what I set it to, the device never ever sleeps. Also if I press the lock button sometimes the device will wake itself and and the screen will come back on permanently... I've looked in the process manager and nothing is running in the foreground.
Here is a logcat. Can anyone make sense of it?
I have no idea why this is happening after a fresh wipe on a stock rom.
Just try this.
Go to settting --> Display --> Touch key light duration --> Change "Always on" to either 1.5 seconds or 6 seconds (as per your choice)
If it works just HIT thanks button.
The touch key light duration has nothing to do with why my screen won't turn off...
Thanks anyway..
Do you have any alarms set?
EDIT: in developer options do you have stay awake set on? Also if your not plugged into USB maybe you should try and clean the USB port.

Hey thanks for the reply. No I have no alarms on, the USB port is very clean and I don't have that option in my 'Developer Options'. :/ I really would like to know what is going on...
Same problem
Hi leijonasisu,
My samsung has just developed the same problem whereby the screen won't turn off ever. It happened since the battery went completely flat two days ago. I'd love to know whether you found a solution to the problem, because it is draining the battery at an insane rate!
thanks.

Hey! Little bit of help please !
Hello everyone, im new to this place but as far as I could read my cellphone having the exact same symptoms as the threadstarted stated.
I do have the "Developer options" tab and also I would like to add another symptom.. After the phone is fully charged, the green icon at the top-left corner of the screen wont dissapear after I disconnect the usb cable.
- I do not have the "stay awake" settled on.
- I do have multiple alarms but just at some exact point each morning.
- The only way I can shut the screen down is by pressing the lock button.
- I'm running 4.1.2 as the android version.
- My model is the GT-I9100
Is there any other thing you guys would need to know ? thanks in advance for the possible help provided.
Flash a stock firmware via odin.
Then all will back to default.the same look when you bought it.
Or flash a custom rom with device option in settings.you can controll the screen behavior there.

Root your phone and flash a custom roms.
You'll find one at the dev section.
Dont like the custom rom and stay on stock?
Do a factory reset.
Settings - Storage - Erase all data
This will erase your user data and downloaded apps.So do it at your own risk.
Goodluck

I just had the problem on my Mega, where the Power Button would bring up the Power Menu on a long tap, but would not turn the screen off when I just pressed it quick, like it used to. Nor would the screen shut off with the Screen Timeout set either.
When it started this problem, I also noticed that the solid white screen that would appear during part of the bootup no longer appeared.
This got me to thinking. I'm Rooted on the Factory v4.2.2 ROM, so I installed "XBlast" and went into it and checked the box for Disabling the Boot Animation (SU should prompt you).
Anyway, I rebooted and the problem was gone! I can turn the screen on and off with my Power Button again!
This all started with yesterday's Google+ update making my system go haywire! I had to restore from a previous NanDroid backup, but this one issue remained. The Bootup Animation must have got messed up somehow and affected it and disabling it stopped it from interfering or something.
This helped me and I can deal with having a way cool boot animation later if I want. But at least my phone's screen turns off now and maybe it'll help you too.
Solution!!!
This problem is usually caused by the usb charging port, which is why a factory reset doesn't fix it. It's a hardware problem not a software problem.
1.
First thing to try is cleaning the usb port with a small dental bursh (or whatever you can find) and some surgical spirit which you can find in a pharmacy,
Take the battery out and unplug the phone when you do this.
2.
If that doesn't work then you can try the method that worked for me. Full disclosure: I invented this through trial and error, I don't know why this works and I can't guarantee you won't damage the usb port. But if nothing else works, then I say go for it.
For this method leave the battery inside, have the phone on.
Okay, so the port is a hole with a prong in the middle, right. Get a sewing needle and insert it into the space between the prong and the hole, specifically the place where the prong is closest to the hole wall - all right? The prong should be much closer to one of the walls than the other walls, put it down there, it won't fit unless you force it a little bit.
Put it in as far as it will go, then leave it for a little while. Turn the screen on and wait, see if the screen turns off. For me it usually works after five minutes of having the needle inside. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY
Hello all,
I have this new baby. It is really cool, but I have a very embarrassing bug.
I use the official stock ROM.
When the phone is in sleep mode, sometimes when I press button to wake up the phone, the screen is black ( or rarely very very dark, darker then the minimal brightness ). I have to press again like to come to sleep mode, then I press to wake up... Several times until one time is the good one.
I think it comes more often when the phone is in sleep for more than few minutes. And sometimes I can unlock it with no prob, and sometimes paf... the bug again...
I tried to reinitialize the phone ( with factory setting ) but nothing, the problem is still here. I searched on internet, and I don't find people with the same bug ( very strange ).
Hope you could help me. Thanks.

Hello I have the same bug. How can it be solved?
Maybe S-voice is interfering. Try turn off s-voice, see how it goes.

Have you tried doing a factory wipe? Flash a new firmware?
Also, speak English. I barely understood what you wrote.
I have the same thing.
Screen goes on automatically with ALL versions of ICS or JB.
Only with Gingerbread roms screen is OK.
What's different between GB and ICS/JB.
Is this a kernel problem, or a ROM problem??
Currently on Slim bean rom
Hi!
I installed "U20_nAa-14_2.6.29.6-nAa-14" and "MiniCM7-2.2.1-mimmi" on my phone. The mobile network didn't worked, so I tried closing back the bootloader. I made it with "s1tool relock.exe", and it really closed it back. The instructions I followed while doing it, said that I shouldn't start the phone after doing the relocking and disconnecting it from the computer. Accidentally I switched it on, and now it won't turn on. Only the startup vibration and green led flash. If I connect it to the computer it keeps connecting and deconnecting, I don't know how to open up the bootloader again if it's possible at all.
Is it repairable?
Thank you for your help.

Flash THIS with flashtool. The download is about 213 MB, although it may say differently when downloading, just wait till it's finished.
It's original Sony Ericsson Firmware and can be flashed on a device with a locked bootloader. Not sure about the version, although it says 2.1.1.A.0.6, it may be older, but i don't have a U20, so I can't check. It should be possible to upgrade it with Sony Update Service if it's an older version. Good luck.
Thank you!
It worked. Can I ask that too, is there a safest way to solve the no network problem?

Depends on your simlock certificate or how your phone was unlocked from it's original network. There are two or three methods (msm_7227_semc, msm_7227_setool2, and maybe one for omnius too) , just try them and check if you get a signal before you flash any custom firmware. If you don't get a signal, relock it again and try a different method.
Flashtool used to be quite good at figuring out which method worked best, but I don't know if that still supports unlocking 2010 devices. I've got 0.9.13 and there is a BLU (Bootloader UnLock) button.. just try that
I opened it again with msm7227_semc, bacuse the others didn't worked, and installed it again. Now everything is fine, but the home button and the screen lock still not works:/ I think I'll leave it this way, and not risk one more time my network connection.
Thanks for your help.

If it's unlocked and the network is still there you can do whatever you want with it There's no need to lock it ever again so you can experiment with kernels and roms all you want.
What was the matter with the home-button and the screenlock? Do the other buttons work and is the screen ok when you slide out the keyboard?

The other buttons are all fine, and the home looks fine too, just the only way to use it is to turn on the screen with it. Which hasn't got a lock on it, when I push any button, it switches right to the home screen. Turning on lock patterns and others didn't helped. Maybe can I use external applications to substitute the functions?

Hmm, sounds a bit like the ROM doesn't want to go to sleep. Maybe you could reboot into recovery, and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache (from the advanced menu). I'm sure you already did that, but it can't hurt to do it again, and see if that fixes the problem
The phone should enter deep-sleep after about 5 seconds after the screen is turned off, in which case the only way to wake up the screen are the power-button and the home-button. pressing menu or back should keep the phone asleep. If after about 10 or 20 seconds you can still wake up the screen with the back or menu buttons you might want to check if there's an app keeping the phone awake.
Done factory reset and cache wipe already multiple times. Just realized how annoying is the dysfunctional home button, so I tried MiniCM7-2.2.0, MiniCM9-3.0.5 with nAa-11,13,14 and nAa-ics-04. Unfortunatley didn't worked the home button or the screen lock with none of them. At first time, I installed the MiniCM10, but the phone was relatively slow with it and buzzed, so I switched to MiniCM7.
Screen timeout and turnoff delay both set to immediately, but even the camera button can turn on the screen no matter how many time elapses. Can the original MiniCM apps keep it awake? I installed a task killer, but no change.

If it happens on all ROMS, maybe it's your home-button keeping the phone alive, as in that it makes continuous contact. Wouldn't know what to do about that though. Does it happen on stock firmware too?

No, when I restored it with the Sony Update Service everything worked fine on the stock 2.1, and it is still possible to turn on the screen with the home button, but it's other functions are out.
Wow, this time I didn't installed the gapps like it was written in the CM wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_mimmi), both the home button and screen lock works. Why it is written in the "Install CM for mimmi" article if the gapps on the download page is for MiniCM10?
Whatever, shame on me, I should've just take it seriously, and not follow the instructions blindly.:silly:
