Power on then off immidiately - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I can bring phone from standby by pressing the power button as normal. However, the first time it will come on shortly then back to standby. I thought it is the lenght of time that button is pressed but as second time it always works. Could this be the ROM issue?

You should have really posted in the ROM thread, also done some searching in there.
It is an issue with the ROM but you can get past it by holding in the power button on wake rather than just pressing.

HELP!! Power Button Problem

I bought my friend's Blue Angel with WM5 upgraded, and found that Power button is ok. I can turn on, soft reset or press to shut the light off, but cannot shut down Windows. I have to use software Spb Plus shut down button instead.
I thought if i down the rom to Win 2003SE, it should be fixed. But it's not. The Power button still has the same problem. I cannot shut down.
Please help, how can i fix this.
Thx.
What happens if you just press Power for short moment as you do with all other buttons and you wait a second?
When I pressed Power button for a moment, the light is off. But when I press and release, nothing happen.
Long press = turn off backlight, this is normal.
But after short press it should go asleep - maybe button is worn out slightly and youi just need to press is stronger?
and of course try hard reset before - if you can do it (it involves pressing reset!) means button is ok, and there is something else. Anyway if after HR still button doesn't work correctly, I have no idea what it can be.

I did as you said.
Long press --> turn off backlight --> ok
Soft Reset --> ok
Hard Reset --> ok
Short press --> go asleep --> don't wok
Hard press -> for asleep --> don't work
or power button damage, but why other action with this button is ok except short press for asleep. --a
Sorry my English is not good
I have the exact same problem, no I dea what has caused it?
The XDA will not power down any more.
I will try reflashing to see if this will rectify it.
I must admit altough many people have put an enormous amount of work into adapting WM5 rom to suit the Blue Angel .I have all but given up with the WM5 roms short comings (WiFi , Bluetooth ,Instability ect)
So its goodbye XDA2S and hello Nokia N95
Anyone can help? Please.
I have exact the same problem. I CAN NOT shut the device down by pressing (short) the power button. I have to use Spb-plus which has a "Shut down" icon shown on the Today screen to do the trick.
Is there any fix to use the power button on the device to do what it is meant to do?
Thank alot!
Maby this can help
Hi.
I had the exact same problem and have searched an read. no solution until last night.
My phone hung after some fiddeling with tomtom, and i popped the battery. i switched it on, and for some reason i decided to turn off the backlight during boot. So power on- wait 1-2 sec - hold power button until backlight goes off. the screen flashed a couple of times and then after boot had finnished it worked again. HORRAY.
Before this i have tried soft/hard reset ++ but nothing worked. so im really happy...
Give it a try, and let me know.. i know a lot of people have this problem.
wow mate...i dunnno how...but it seems it worked for me...thanks...

[REQ]Power button

Well, I don't actually want a power button to be honest, I want the power button action changed. I've lost count of the amount of times I have switched the phone off to go to bed and then accidentally touched the power button causing the phone to restart. Then I have to wait until it's booted-up before I can switch it off again. OK, I know I shouldn't drink so much that I become ham-fisted but in my defence, that brings its own - entirely unrelated - benefits.
What I want (knew I'd get there eventually) is to have to press the power button for like one second before the phone powers-up. I'm happy switching the screen on and off with a single short press, but if it already takes a long-press to switch it off, why can't it be a long press to switch it on? How hard can it be?
here you go: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1751
This will remap your power button on a long press and show you how to poweroff without it (see the comments there for the app)
I'm sorry but I don't think this is what I'm looking for.
Visualise: The phone is off (not the screen, the PHONE), properly switched off. I want to have to press the power button for at least one second to start the phone up. From what I was reading on your link, the button presses are only recognised when the phone is already powered-up.
You don't want the button to switch the screen off too? Otherwise I don't get it.

Don't think that's possible. Btw, you could always shutdown the phone by taking out the battery No need to wait for it to boot.

Bootloader Issues

Hi guys
I have been trawling this and other forums for 2 days now with no success. I cannot for the life of me get the phone into bootloader mode. I am currently using one of NRGZ28's Roms if that helps.
I have tried about 15 times to do it. Each time, powering off device, taking out and re-inserting battery, holding down volume down key as well as the power button, but the phone continually boots as per normal.
I've also re Hard-SPL'd thinking that was the issue, but apparently not.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks
Try this...
If your phone is already turned on, go to Start>Reset
While it's turning itself off, hold down the power button and the lower volume button simultaneously (at the same time) and CONTINUE TO HOLD! It should then go into bootloader.
Or take the battery out, re-insert it. Push the power button and lower volume button down at the same time and CONTINUE TO HOLD!
The important step is that you have to CONTINUE TO HOLD both buttons at the same time. Not just press them together and let go.
Hope that helps.
Every time I have been holding them the whole way through, even still holding once I hit the today screen just in case. Tried doing it your method through restarting while holding both, and the second method you suggested is the way I've been doing it each time. Taking out battery, re-inserting it, pressing both buttons at the same time and holding, but it just continues to boot as normal. I have recently had to take my phone apart due to the slide-out keyboard playing up and now some buttons are a tad hit and miss, but I have verified while the phone is on that both volume keys and the power button work as per normal

Problem with waking up

I'm on V20A, official, rooted. Sometimes I have to press power button 2-3 times for waking up the phone (sometimes not). Same for turn off screen. It's common problem? Maybe I'm pressing power button to gently, but I have not noticed this before V20A. Very annoying.
P.S - I don't have time right now to backup, do factory reset or flash CM or something, so I'm just asking.

Happens on every stock device (as far as i know). The question is if the devs are going to fix it in a custom kernel. But until then it seems like an annoying small bug.
The only solution i know is to wait and press the power button again.

I noticed you have to push button longer and everything works in the first time almost every time. But I have a bunch of other devices and I used to push power button very fast, so this bug really annoying.

No responding M7

Hi all,
This morning i check if my bootloader was unlocked, because i wan't to give it a try to root it.
I found out it was unlocked (holding down volume and press the power button)
After that, i rebooted my phone and everything worked normal.
Until a couple of hours later, my screen didn't wake up when i pushed the power button.
The homebutton and the backbutton where flickering (going on and off)
So, i waited for a couple of minutes, but nothing changed.
After (i think) 10 minutes, i hold the power button for a couple of seconds and the flickering buttons stopped.
Since then my phone doesn't repsond anymore. I tried the powerbutton for a while, and with the combination of holding the vol. up and down.
So far nothing helped.
Does anyone know what's wrong, and what i can do to wake my phone from its coma?
Thanks in advance!
Enjoy your weekend. Ben
Did you press the power button for a few second before the soft keys started going on and off? Does your phone show a green battery animation when you connect it to a charger?
If the soft keys started flashing on their own, and if your phone doesn't show any signs of life even when you attempt to charge it, I'm afraid this is a hardware problem which no one can fix online.
let's wait and see what more experienced members have to say.
