Does it turn off and on when you push the power button? if so then it is working. What you need to do is go to settings, then power, then advanced, then on battery power set the minutes or seconds to turn of the device. Or maybe your device's buttons are accidentally pressed so what you need to do is button lock it so that it won't get pressed accidentally.

Not sure if this is what you mean but I was confused by the on/off switch on my IIi, I kept turning the backlight off rather than getting it to suspend.
The trick is to just press the power button for a short time and it will go off/on. If you hold it down you only put the back light on/off. I guess I shoulda read the manual.
First post btw, hi all.
The problem is, when you press the power button, it goes off just for a second then turns on again. I have changed the backlight and power settings, but still it just wont go to suspend mode. Even when pressing the suspend icon button in SBP Pocket Plus, the unit behaves the same. All I do now is turn off the backlight by pressing the power button for more than a second and just let the today screen be on, but it is eating away my battery life...
please help.
thanks
hard Reset ... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[Q] Phone Died?

So today my phone started vibrating continuously--it was on the HTC boot screen with screen brightness at very very low and would not stop vibrating. I held down the power button, and after 20 seconds of holding it down, the phone finally stopped. However, not it will not boot back up. I hold the power button down for long periods of time and nothing happens. After letting go of the button, sometimes it does a single vibrate but the screen remains blank. Power button and vol-down does not boot into the bootloader either....Can anyone help me fix this? I have no backup phones I can use...
Just some info about my phone, I was running the newest 3.17 stock rooted ota with Arcreactor kernel. I was also S-OFF via moonshine.

Lock screen not turning off unless I do it manually (5.1.1)

I am not sure if this is a bug with 5.1.1 or not. I tried searched before coming here to post, but I haven't come across a solution yet.
Anyways, my phone doesn't have power saver on, smart stay is off, and I have my security set to fingerprint unlock.
To the issue at hand - My screen doesn't automatically time out if I press the home button or the power button to turn on my screen. In order for the screen to turn off, I have to manually press the power button. Otherwise, the screen just stays on and drains my battery. This wouldn't be too much of an issue if my butt didn't always press the home button while the phone was my pocket.
I'd really hate to factory reset or flash another rom, as I just finished installing all of my apps and whatnot after a phone replacement. However if that is the only option to fix this problem, then I'm okay with doing so.
Thanks ahead of time for reading!
**quick edit** - forgot to mention that if I receive a notification, that it turns my screen on and keeps it on until I press the power button.

Once screen go to sleep there is no way to wake it up

Good Evening
I own a Samsung Tab S2 (SM-T810) and I am running stock firmware (Android 7.0), rooted and TWRP as a custom recovery.
Yesterday i was using my tablet when the screen suddenly turn off, i tried to turn on the screen as i usually do, with my power button but it doesn't work, i connect the charger and the screen wont turn on (like usually do).
So i go to TWRP and i realize that every button was working in there, if the screen turn off i can wake up with power or home button like i normally do on the stock OS
The problem begins when the system (Android 7) initialize, the navigation bar + home button wont work from the beginning , the power button works only for turning off the screen but not to turn it on, the volume buttons work until the screen turns off
Once the screen is off there is no way to turn it on, neither power button, connecting it to the power, or notification, the only way is restarting the device by long pressing the power + volume down
I already do:
wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik from TWRP
Reflash my stock firmware with Odin
This is my first time posting a question on this site, if you need more information please let me know.
Thanks in advance
I just remove the Samsung cover from my tablet and it fixed the problem!
