Hi all, i've had this problem for a long time... hope somebody can shed me some light to solve it. I've been living with it for months but now it's starting to annoy me as it increase the battery drain significately
Basically my diamond wakes up from standby semi randomly, in order of frequency: by sliding off the back cover, shaking the phone, touching the screen or more rarely by pressing hw buttons.
This behaviour seems to appear after the phone is on for a few hours. More rarely just after a soft reset.
Sometimes it happens just once, other times it keeps waking up just after pressing the power button to put it to sleep... mistery!
I've tried kill any process except the system ones and remove anything extra from windows startup, including repllog.exe, biotouch.exe.. but i haven't been able to identify the source of the problem.
I'm running Shaks v4.30 ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462455
with radio 1.13.25.24 and matching rilphone.
If i can't find a solution i'll try to install a different rom, but i'd rather avoid this as this works fine and it would take a lot of time to reinstall all programs and tweaks...
Any hint would be highly appreciated
up..
I've tried formatting with mtty, installing different wm6.1 and wm6.5 rom and an HTC stock rom, but the problem persists... it keeps waking up from standby.
I'm starting to think it's an hardware issue... Any suggestion on how i could log the reason it keeps waking up?
Please, any help would be very appreciated
i noticed recently that if i press the power button, it sometimes takes a really long time to turn the screen on. i know the hardware works because the backlight in the soft buttons turns on immediately, but the screen remains black for up to 10 seconds. this happens rarely. however, im fairly sure it isnt a software problem because ive wiped completely and installed a fresh rom and the problem seems to persist. perhaps i just recently noticed, and the problem was always there? does anyone else have this problem?
three threads above yours.

could be a hardware issue.
Mine does this every few days.. I am still on the stock 2.1 rom.
Mine also does this, I only noticed it after flashing Cyanogenmod 5.0.6. so I thought it might have been a bug. I also assumed it was a bug because the phone seems to act strangely when you are touching the screen and try to hit the power button.
Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue, I've had the phone since release.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?
It happens to me as well, but very infrequently. Maybe every few days... so it doesn't bother me enough to worry about it.
I'm on stock ROM btw.
I am leaning towards thinking this may be software related. A few minutes ago I was at the lock screen and tried about 50 times (yes I waited long enough after each press) and simply could not get the screen to turn off. I then tried long pressing the power button and, sure enough, each time it would bring up the shutdown menu (yes, over the lock screen). Must be a bug right?
Hmm, my problem's slightly different. Around half of the time, I have to press the power button twice to turn the screen on. Sometimes, pressing it the first time doesn't turn the screen on, had to press the power button firmly again.
This started only recently. On stock n1 and bought it during feb.
that means that your power button is dying, like many others' (including mine)
this is the first time, it takes 2 clicks to work....than it will increase.
Expect a repair soon...
Well i am having the issue other way around. i am not been able to put my phone in stand by mode by clicking on it and it is do a hard press then i get options to shut off the phone
any suggestions what might be causing it ?
I'm happy I haven't received this problem yet

I am having the same issue and i wonder if you were able to find the cause for it. I have the same rom as you do on your phone

I have a similar problem. When I unplug the N1 from the charger, the screen comes on showing the lock screen, and I can't get it to turn off. If I unlock the phone, however, then the power button works normally. I don't think it was doing this until recently (I bought it in January the first day it was offered and am running the stock update1 ROM).
So here is my theory if the power button is a problem then it needs to act up both ways and not only one way. right now i can put the phone in sleep mode but i can wake it up. i will post the issues on the development forum and might be able to find an asnswer to it
So seems like the issues is because of Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 because since i have flashed another rom it is working just fine. i will be doing some more testing before i can be certain
Another problem I am experiencing is when I long press the power button, it pulls up the phone options menu but also turns off the screen. It's extremely frustrating as it does this quite frequently; right after I power on the screen again and unlock the device it works properly every time - so much so that I am convinced this is a software issue.
I am now running froyo, rooted with Cyan's minor root patch. I can also say for sure I experienced the same problem on CM 5.0.6, but it definitely occurred less frequently.
Am I alone here?

I just started having this problem after upgrading to 2.2.
I have this every so often. But sometimes wonder if it is flyscreen doing it
You guys should all just be running the app no lock to take the power autumn out of the equation.
Ahhhhh! I just need trackball wakeup!
I have a similar issue where my screen will turn on but will be unresponsive. When i turn it on and off, the backlight jut comes and goes. If it times out it won't turn back on for a bit(the backlight will come on still).
I just wiped my phone, hoping that'll fix it since it only started happening on a regular basis since I updated to Froyo
Twice now ill be using my phone and it will kinda stop responding and then my trackball will start pulsing, it then reboots gets to the lockscreen and reboots again. It will do this until I pull the battery. Any ideas why it does this? Is my SD card going bad maybe?
-------------------------------------
Oh I forgot to mention I am running cm 5.0.7.1
---------------------------------
I don't know if that's the cause, but it did the exact same thing to me today too. Also running 5.0.7.1.
I was reading a book using Aldiko. I wasn't touching anything at the time (I was in the middle of a page) and the phone just reset.
Except that when it reset, it didn't fully reboot.
It didn't give that little vibrate pulse and show the colored X and the unlocked icon, it just started into the boot animation.
It got to the lock screen, but even before I could unlock it, it started over.
After I pulled the battery, it was fine.
Last few days i have been having these same boots, not going as far as the X+padlock screen, and continuous reboots until i do a battery pull, i am running froyo+cyanogens kernel.
I find i always have the headphones in when this happens.

No headphones here. It has only happened to me while reading an ebook with Aldiko, but I'm guessing that's just because it's a long period of phone activity.
It's probably less likely to do it when it's sitting locked and idle.
it happened to me also for the first time yesterday, just as you describe...phone reboots, gets to lock screen, and reboots again.
i had pandora on pause for a while...and thought that might have been the cause...since pulling the battery and rebooting i have not had the issue repeat itself...yet.
I have experienced three similar strange reboots since upgrading to Froyo. All three occurred while the phone was charging and i was using an app. Once the reboot loop begins the green charge light on the phone never goes away until i pull the battery.
Hi all,
Just this morning, my back button on my I9000m seems to be acting funny (Phone is only about 3 days old). When I hit it it seems to get "stuck" for a pretty good time, (i can reproduce it by hitting it twice, will get stuck most of the time on the second hit; or even when trying to back out of multiple things.. will hang).
It'll eventually "unstuck" itself after like 10-15 seconds or so..
I can force unstuck by locking and then unlocking the screen via the power button..
Have tried restarting the phone, battery pulling it... only thing left to try is to flash the bugger..
I don't think it's hardware, because it is functional, I get haptic feedback and what not.. it almost feels like its waiting to do something....
Running Stock JH2 w/ OCLF...
Help?
Ok, this one is driving me a bit nuts trying to diagnose. My Touchpad has started to not turn on the screen occasionally. If I press power or home, the LED in the home button will light but the screen won't come on. If I wait and try again, perhaps in a minute or 10, it will sometimes turn back on. If it does turn back on, everything is still obviously running, and I am receiving notification sound or vibrations when appropriate. If I do a forced reset (Power/VolDown/Home) it'll reboot and the screen comes on. I'm not sure if this is a software issue or hardware, but I hadn't loaded a new ROM in quite some time (I'm running JCSullins 4.4.4). I had been running one from last year and as part of trying to diagnose this updated to his latest 1/13/15 version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712680 but unfortunately that didn't seem to fix it.
Is it possible the backlight is failing? If so, is there a guide on how to repair it? The unit still does most of what I use a tablet for albeit a bit slow (and battery life is starting to suck). For everything else I use my phone.
