been having a problem with the 2.2 roms. I install them and the screen will go to sleep during a call, and the only way to wake it up is to either hang up the call or plug in the charging cord. The phone will wake normal when i flash back to a 2.1 rom. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix on froyo roms.
Enable trackball to wakeup under cyanogen settings or something like that.
press send + vol up (or vol down, believe it's vol up) to wake up phone. mods please move to q&a thread. thanks and hope this helps.

You almost had it.
Press and hold vol+, then while holding that, press and release the send button. That will wake the screen without disturbing the call.

sorry 5thagent. remembered seeing the instructions somewhere around. thanks for the correction! :-( i tried. I had forgotten about the other fix.
was just about to post on this today. thx for the infoz
Also... all you should have to do is pull the phone away from your face and it should turn back on almost immediately. I've never ever had this problem lol

I agree that should normally work,but at least for me when using speaker phone I can't just move the phone to wake it. using trackball wake/unlock works fine though

What is that and what does it do?
How hard is it to program the ROM so that the screen turns back on when you touch it?

That works but if you have your phone on the table in front of you w/speakerphone enabled while some robot is giving you 5 minutes of number equations, the phone will timeout. When the trackball wake option is selected in CyanogenMod settings/input settings, it will wake the device after you've manually turned the phone off but it doesn't wake the screen after it's timed out. I have been trying to use tasker as a way around this problem but I haven't been able to successfully write a working profile

I'm bumping this thread because I have the same problem but my volume rocker is broken/missing so it is very difficult for me to press vol up/down. I need to use a pen tip or needle, which I usually do not have readily available.
Is there any other option out there for me? Why can't I use the trackball or just the Send key????????????
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
FYI, I'm running GSB 1.4 (CM-7 Gingerbread based ROM).
edit: Some users on the CM forums said that pressing the Menu or Home keys worked, but that doesn't work for me. They were on CM6, so maybe that doesn't work in CM7, I don't know.

I seem to recall that in CM settings, you can configure what buttons can wake the phone up. You should be able to set it to the trackball.
My phone was working just fine and randomly the lock button stopped working and the home button brings up the power screen! This is extremely frustrating, any help would be great!!

I cant explain why its happening if u didnt changed anythink in the system but i recognized myselfe that sometimes phones get rally messed up without any explanation...
i would suggest to backup all data u need (for instance sms call log....) and just make a simple hard reset
if thos does not work search in the forum how to flash a stock rom on ure phone
this will make ur phone become the status it had when u just unboxed it

You currently cannot awaken directly without pressing the HOME key, i.e. go from standby to vigil at only and not dovendolo touch for nothing...

i recently got another note 2 and when im in the middle of texting someone or doing other things the screen just goes dead(screen still on) and im unable to press anything. the screen and not even the soft keys or home button work, but when i turn the screen off and back on it goes back to being normal. what could be wrong with this device?

Sorry I am not familiar with this. Sometimes though my screen does become unresponsive when trying to pull up the keyboard to text or to email someone. I hit the "input" area again and again but no response. Then if I power off the screen, and turn it back on and then go to the data input area, it magically works again. BUT, I can move up/down and the home button and everything works.
- It should be noted that I am running Beans 20 on vzw.

iv tried multiple roms so i believe its not a rom issue.
Hi all, as the title suggests, what once worked for me and im sure most of you no longer works for me.
I press the power button to get the menu. airplane mode, screen shot etc all work but when i press the option to power off nothing happens.
If i hold it down for a few seconds to get safe mode, this does work but instead reboots into safe mode which isnt what im after.
The only work around i have found is to remove my sim card which initiates a reboot.
Its not critical but not sure why all of a sudden this no longer works for me. Any ideas?
Only thing I can think of is to make sure that quick boot isn't ticked in developer options, on mine with that option unticked the phone powers off fine but when quick boot is ticked & you press the power button then tap power off it nothing happens other than the power menu vanishing.

I was starting to pull my hair out from frustration and you've saved me from going bald lol. Thanks heaps, your advice was spot on

Your welcome mate, glad you got it sorted
Another thing to keep in mind in the future is if you have a hard crash, you can force power-off/reboot if you hold volume up + power or press the little red button next to the sim-card tray.
