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.

hello,
comrom 2.0 - otb with stock voltages - ED04.
regardless of which lock screen I use, or whether I use pattern unlock, when I try to lock my phone and shut off screen after use (with single press of power button), the screen goes blank then immediately lights back up to the lockscreen. then I press power again and it goes black for good.
otherwise my phone behaves very well. any ideas? sorry if this was discussed elsewhere, been following development of this rom reasonably well over time and habent seen this discussed.
one thing I noticed is that if I press power or vol-down to turn screen on - but don't unlock and use the phone - then press power to shut screen down again - screen goes out and stays out. no double press needed unless I was actually doing something with the phone.
thanks

I was reading a book and the screen just stopped responding to finger touches, I think a reset might fix it but I can't switch it off. Long press on the off switch gives me the Android power options but of course I can't select any of them.
Any ideas? apart from waiting for the battery to go dead.
/edit solved it, long press of power and center button uintil you see the HP logo. I thought there might be some Android specific way.
For touchscreen not responding, I often just click power button to turn off the screen, then home to wake it up. That seems to fix it more often than not.
Next time you need to reboot, just hold down Home + Power for 10+ seconds
Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie at rooting.
I have used CM for 3 months but for a week it got a little strange.
Scenario 1) When I push the power button to get to lock screen, the soft buttons' light turn on for a moment but no change happens on screen. I push power button again, the same result. No other respone from my mobile. If I push power button for 10 sec to reset, i see a little green or purple light beam from the bottom right. After a while, it disappears. And still no response. I remove the battery as a last resort and put it back, when I push the power button, it's the same. Little colorful light beams...
Scenario 2) A short time ago, while I was playing a game on it, the screen just turned off and I pushed the power button... as you guess, the story goes on the same way.
It's now off, I couldn't get to it in any way.
What can I do to solve and how?
You guess it's urgent.
Sorry for my poor English, thanks in advance.
Can you restart the phone in download mode, or recovery mode?
I just figured out something:
The phone turned on and I disabled developer settings. After this, when the screen is locked and off and I push the power button, I see nothing on the screen (maybe a little purple or green beam at the right bottom) but the soft buttons turn on. I slide right to unlock without seeing anything, I pass the lock screen and it's now open. (when I touch the screen, the soft buttons turn on again and again as it should be) I just scroll the main pages right and left, push the volume or main button, they work. (it beeps when the sound is max) after 30 - 40 seconds... yay! The screen is on! It's totally the same all the time. It needs time to turn on?
Is it a software problem or is my screen about to break down?
Thanks again!!
it's a software problem. You can either factory reset, run the trim command if you're running android 4.3, or change to a different ROM.
Guys i was in my settings a few minutes ago and i came across a feature which enabled me to open up my notifications by just tapping the screen so i enabled it and went to the homescreen to test it! Upon tapping the screen the phone started maing a beeping noise and a blue line started scrolling continously downward on the screen! I cant turn the phone off ! I only seem to be able to reboot it which doesnt help! I needto power the phone off i assume and then maybe do a hard reset??? Advice needed please
anyone?
What setting did you access I don't believe anybody will be able to help if we don't know where you went and what you changed. The things you mention are very vague and don't really paint a picture of what is happening.
Also if you want to turn the phone off without using the on screen settings just hold onto the power button for about 10 seconds it should turn off, after that hold power, home button, and volume up to go into recovery to reset or what ever it is you please.
Also is it showing you an X and Y axis? If so then you just go into settings, developer settings, show screen updates and turn that off the grid should go away. I am not sure what your issue is but that seems like the most likely option.
Hello everyone so here's my story
Phone has been flawless until a few days ago never been so happy about my purchase.
I have had the phone for 2 years now no problems what so ever.
I started to notice the screen staying on all the time tried pressing the power button to put it into sleep and nothing.
If i hold down the power button it prompts me if i want to turn it off this rules out the power button not working.
Display setting-sleep after 15 sec
daydream is on
security is off and i also tried adding a screen lock to add the feature power button instantly locks also automatically lock is set to 54 sec.
i went into developer options and stay away is not checked.
Things i tried
I downloaded a app that puts a icon on my screen to put the phone in sleep mode WORKS! I am no expert but it seems like some type of trigger has broken between the power button and sleep.
I downloaded wakelock and nothing is running in background.
Did what i wanted to do last resort and did a full factory reset and recovery phone is fresh problem is still there.After searching for answers and reading many post i am at my last resort and posting for some help?
