Home button wakes the phone, but does not work otherwise. - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all. So lately i've been having problems with the Sony Xperia x10i, and I decided to do a factory reset which seemed to clear all my problems but now the home button does not work at all, except when I use it to wake the device (when the display is turned off and I press it, it turns on the screen and shows me the homescreen).
Is there any way to resolve this?
Thanks,
David.

Unresponsive Home button

Hey guys, I have a question.
Is it normal when your screen is locked then you press the home button to power up the screen then nothing will happen then when you press it again it will show the lockscreen?
Although its not happening always, just sometimes Im still woried.
Is it happening to you also sometimes? Thank you.
Is it just there is a delay, or is it not appearing at all?
Its not appearing at all. It happens sometimes, maybe once a day or 2.
The guy on another thread said it is normal.

Power Button Weirdness

Hi Guys,
My phone's power button started behaving strangely yesterday (don't know what triggered it, didn't install any app or change setting which could cause it).
It works as EXPECTED:
1) To Turn on the phone.
2) To Turn on the Screen from Sleep Mode.
3) To reset/shutdown when pressing together with Volume Up Key.
It works Weird:
1) When Screen Is Already "On" and I want to turn the screen off by pressing it. It works as Volume UP Key :S
This started happening yesterday and as It was working fine in all other cases except the one I mentioned, I thought it would be a settings/software issue. I reset my phone with Sony Update Service but nothing changed.
Edit: I have latest stock firmware which happens to be 6.1.1.B.1.75
Did anybody have same issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rizwan

Problem with power button

Hello to all,
I have a strange problem with power button. When I press to see If I have a notification, screen turns on. I press it agai to switch off the screen, switches off and then switches on by itself. When I press again the same button, it appears the shutdown menu. This sequence (automatic screen wake ups even I have the power button pressed before) happens all the time. I tried to press very fast the button. After some time it stopped respoding. I did this in order to see how it behaves and if it's a button problem, but it seems a software one
WT19i, rooted, stock .567 ROM, no set-cpu or similar programms installed
Thanks in advance

White Screen after Locking

Hi,
My son has an unrooted Desire 610. Yesterday it started behaving strangely.
Whenever he presses the power button to wake the phone up, only a white scree appears. The only way to get out of this is to reboot the phone, but the problem reappears on reboot. He has restored to factory and the problem still happens.
The phone seems fine on wake up - he can use it until the phone sleeps. The problem only appears if he puts the phone to sleep or it sleeps naturally and then when he presses the power button to wake it, the white screen appears.
All suggestions really welcome as this has me stumped.
Thanks
Unlock it, root it, and flash a rom? Seems software related to me.
Or, if completely stock and relatively new, see if you can exchange it for another.
Or htc support may be able to help as I'm sure it's under warranty.

Need Help On This One!

So my G8X was working normally until all of a shudden today I started facing this bug or whatever it is. So the problem is:
Earlier when I used to touch and hold on Home Screen, it would give me these options like Widgets, Wallpaper&Theme, Home Screen Settings. But all of a sudden today when I tapped and held on home screen my phone got locked. I pressed the power button but my phone wouldn't wake. I realised that whenever I tap and hold on home screen the phone would get lock and show a message "Fingerprint operation cancelled" on the black lock screen above the finger print animation and then to wake it up I have to press the power button two times (only in the case of touch and hold locking) . I thought that phone's "Knock On" Extension was messing with it so I turned it off but to no use. The problem still persisted. I tried clearing cache and then tried clearing cache of "Home" from Apps&Notifications settings but Nada.
At last I did a factory reset and did a fresh setup but to my surprise the problem still persisted. Why the heck is this happening and that too all of a sudden. The functioning of Tap and Hold on home screen for settings was fine all this time and then all of a sudden this started happening.
Can any anybody help? Shed some light?
So I Factory reset it for the second time and it didn't solve the problem. And I noticed that locking phone by pressing power key and pressing it again to wake it up works if I press it in like 5 seconds right after locking it. If I lock the phone and leave it like for more than 5 seconds or so then I'll have to press the power key two times to wake it up. WTH and why has it started happening out of the blues? ??

Dont worry ez solve mate
i uploaded a video mate watch it after reading it https://youtu.be/lnXSBsGdMJQ
There is a sensor in top (near the selfi camera) if it is blocked the phone will think that it is in pocket so it will disable the fingerprint sensor(if you newly installed screen protector may cause the sensor to block ) so it disable fingerprint and double press to screen on
