Okay, my is being absolutely retarded. When I press the power button 99% of the time the screen won't come on. I have to push the button 20-30 times in order for it to come on sometimes.
The issue is though, I know the power button works because when I press it the home, menu, back and search buttons always light up.
And to make things weirder I can still use the touch screen even though the screen is black. If I love my thumb around I can feel the unlock vibrate :/...
In other words my "screen works" but usually stays black.
Any idea what this is?

Sigh...
Whenever I press my power button, I have to press it directly in the middle to get the screen to turn on. If I press the button towards the edge (left or right) the button just pushes down (becomes flush with the phone frame) and there is no click and the screen doesn't turn on. Not being picky, I just have to press the button more than 3-4 times and it feels loose.
Is anyone else's phone like this? Would help if someone could post a picture of the plastic tab underneath their power button. It feels like mine is broken.
I dunno about you but sometimes my power button won't even work. I have to take the case off, remove the battery, put it back in, then restart the phone to get it to work again. Kinda strange...
i was thinking i had the same issue earlier, then i just reseated the back and now all is well... now if i can get the rubberized black case from sprint i will be in full effect!
If you take the cover off, you will see that the button is a very small rubber and it lines up with the power button on the case, so you have to press it in the middle
So does this fix apply to power buttons that are really easily pressed too?

I've actually taken the case off and pressed the button to see if the phone would turn on. Yeah no go. It's like it locked up or something.
My evo 3d has a super sensitive power button.. it does not click at all. If I hold my phone in a land scape i accidentally turn it off if i even rub my finger over it. The design of the power button is terrible
I am exchanging this phone tomorrow hopefully I wont have any further issues

I got a case off eBay that has the power button recessed...paid $6 Also managed to get a 32 GB SD Card for $21
My mom's is super sensitive too and is pressed when holding in landscape, also has no click. Should she take it back or has anyone opened the back and fixed it?

Reason I really want to know is cause she got one and gave her ogevo to my sister and she misses her og. So I talked her into trading me her 3vo for my og.

My power button was driving ne crazy. I couldn't get it to work consistently when trying to turn the screen off, and I would sometimes get the reboot/power off confirmation box while using the phone, like the button was somehow being held down.
I found that if I pulled the top left corner of the back from the fully locked position just slightly, the button worked much better.
By this afternoon, I was tired of repositioning the back every time I took the phone out of my pocket. I went to a Sprint store, and they tried a new back. That didn't solve the problem, so they swapped my device for a new one. Problem is 100% better now. Feels great now and works perfectly.

I had the same problem with mine. Got it home from just buying it and couldn't turn it back on. Thought the battery was dead so plugged it in and presto, it came on with a decent charge still on it. Then I couldn't turn it off or put it into sleep mode. Took it back to the store 1 hour after buying it. RS exchanged it immediately, so no issue there. The new one had a definite click to the power switch where the first one had no click at all. Working great so fa.
Cool, I'm gonna get her to take it back before we switch then. Thanks guys

Could you point me in the right direction for that kind of case?

I think this might be a software issue...but wanted another opinion.
sometimes when I hit the power button to turn the screen off, it turns off and then comes back on. It doesn't happen ask the time so I can't figure out if it is me or something causing the phone to wake back up.

It could be a short in the power button. Mine does this occasionally, just make sure you push the button down firmly and quickly.
This happens on my 3D, as well. It also happens on my Shift 4G. I can't recall if it happened on my Evo 4G. It happens a lot more often on the 3D, than with any other phone.
It happens to me about three or four times a day.
Happens to me occasionally and it also happened on my last phone. Nit biggie

I blame my thumb touching the volume keys - the latter can switch on my phone as well.
Having the phone in my hands, fingers left and thumb right aligned, and pressing down the power button with the index key forces the thumb (or lower base of it) to excert a force on the frame... oops, the volume keys are just placed there... Might be attributed to my big hands, though ;-)
It get's worse when I have a skin around it...
Cheers

Mine does this as well, annoying.
locked & loaded
Mine does it the other way around, when i press power to turn the screen on, it comes on and goes off before I can get to slide to unlock the screen.
It's not a software issue, it's a hardware one. It's the power button, it gets mushy. Take the cover off and thoroughly clean it, it should click just once when you press it after that. if not, well, you're out of luck
For those who think there power button is broken because they push the button a ton of times..
Its not broken!! Its just a delay push it once and wait it will turn on it takes about 5 secs my brothers take 10 secs..
If it doesn't turn after a minute make sure your cover button is actually hitting the soft phone button, after you do all that then yes there's a problem with your hardware

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if my screen didn't immediately turn on when I hit the power button I'd consider it not working properly and warranty it.

I come from the 1st mytouch 3g platform.
For us this was normal, as some devs delayed the power process on purpose for roms on gb,
I could be wrong but I know that when my phone was stock it booted quick after I went with ics and s-off my boot was delayed it varies from rom to rom for me.

Coming from a Moto Cliq my Amaze turns on fast. But that's just comparing Grapefruits and Oranges (I dare not say apple)

True but I'm just saying that I think its normal, to have a bit of a delay now if the phone literally does nothing at all after a few seconds then that's a problem

Speed rom 7.8 doesn't have this lag, it shouldn't have it anyways

I had this problem but fixed it with a piece of tape (black electrical tape) over the power button inside the case.
I got a new cover under warranty...didn't fix the issue,
Got a new battery which didn't fix the issue but it did fix the reboots and shutdowns.
Changed back to energy. ( don't know if this did it)
I know the button does work inside the case but I felt like taking a hammer to the button.
What happened is the plastic cover over the button gotten thin over the time by pressing the button so many times.
Now it works flawlessly. Well i guess the until the tape or the plastic cover thins more.
Now i'm loving my Amaze once again and won't be selling it for half the price anytime soon
I use volume buttons to wake phone turns on instantly with power button just have to press it kind of hard but with volume buttons not the case
I'm talking about like if your phone is turned off.. and you hit the power button to turn it back on it lags,

I've got a recurrent problem with my Desire X which seems to have two parts, and doesn't seem to correlate with any other post that I've found;
- quite often when the screen is asleep, when I press the power button to wake it the screen doesn't come back; I get the bottom capacitive buttons lighting up, but no screen. Hitting power again turns off the lights, sometimes I can toggle it on and off a few times and it comes back (combined with swiping the screen possibly), but other times no matter what I do I can't get it to wake the screen and I have to resort to pulling the battery. Also doesn't help to plug in power. NB: yes battery is always at least 60% charged minimum
- other times when the screen is on the brightness/display goes into a build-up loop and washes out the screen, sometimes strobing, sometimes only leaving streaks of colour. Sometimes toggling the screen on and off via the power button works, sometimes it doesn't. I use Auto-brightness, but I have experimented with full- and half-brightness and it hasn't made a difference, so doesn't seem to be sensor-related.
I thought I'd hold out to see if the OTA JB update fixed it, but it doesn't look like that's going to appear here anytime soon.
Any thoughts? I've kept it relatively stock.
A small video ? Its a hardware fault anyways. Did it fell down ?

I'd post a video, but it always seems to happen when I don't have another device handy.
It hasn't had any bad knocks, only ever typical day-to-day bumps; I'm very careful with my phones. Does it sound like a specific known hardware fault?
Stock ROM, recovery, etc? Or any custom one?
Completely stock, not rooted, only some apps and widgets added, nothing removed.
Is the phone on warranty? Maybe it's hardware stuff and it will cost more than one headache.

Definitely hardware. Claim warranty asap.

Here's an example photo of one of the many exciting things the screen randomly does. I'm trying to compile a pile of photos and hopefully video to support my claim, problem is that it's so completely random. I took it to an Optus store the other day to get some sort of idea as to what would happen, and the guy seemed to reckon that they'd do what he tried; pressed the power button on/off about 20 times, if they don't get it to misbehave in that time they'll say it's not faulty!
Want to make sure I get a full backup before sending it in also.
This greeted me on waking it. Sometimes this kind of thing will randomly crop up when in the middle of using it, other times power button won't wake screen, others I get incoming calls but no screen so can't answer - power button is the only thing that responds, which of course hangs up.
hi...
well im pretty sad cause i dropped my galaxy s2 on the floor(not the 1st time)...this time when i switched it on all it shows is a white screen with crazy coloured lines.i waited a bit and i understood that it booted up.i pressed the power button and the display went off and heard the sound(i assigned it on pressing power button).then i again pressed the power button switching on the phone to its lockscreen and from my memory i pressed that jellybean locksreen buttton and slid my finger.anyways it unlocked and went to the homescreen.later i was able to switch off the phone too....everything works except the screen...
Is it just that my lcd is loose connected or is it damaged and would i need a replacement.
Sorry for the lengthy description if it bored you and my advance thanks to anyone who gives an answer and thanks to xda -for this forum.
Have a very close look at the screen under a not too bright light and see if you can notice any cracks. Sometimes you can barely see them.
If you can't see any, then if I were you I'd open it up and pray to God that it's just the screen connector that's come off slightly. It's a possibility.
Good luck..
