This just happened yesterday after I used the camera and went through the gallery for a little bit. My power button doesn't lock/turn off the screen anymore, unless the lock screen is the one displayed. It still does all of its other functions properly - just doesn't lock and turn off the screen when I press it if I'm in an app or on the home screen. Anyone have any idea what happened and how it can be fixed??
It's a pain right now to have to wait for the screen to automatically turn off, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
I don't have any suggestions for a fix, but if you can't figure anything out, there's a workaround. Get one of the widgets from the market that locks your screen... not the best solution but better than nothing.

I ended up resorting to flashing a ROM all over again.
If you have Spare Parts installed, its the reason... Go to Spare Parts/End button behavior and change it to "go to sleep"... i had the same issue today
And why is this in development?

Your post makes no sense... Let me try to guess what you meant..
Your backlight turns off, but the LCD stays on? In this case you would see zero light emissions in the dark, but in reasonable lighting you could still see the screen contents.
Or is it that the LCD turns off, but the backlight stays on? In this case you would see nothing on the screen, but in the dark you would see the backlight glowing.
In either case, I would suspect an app.. You might look at the wake lock info (I use Spare Parts from the market for this) to see what's keeping it awake, ignore any Phone related items.
You might also just try powering off and back on if you haven't yet.
Hold the power until it unit is completely powered down. Power up. This happened to me once about 5 days ago. I have not seen the issue again.
I have spare parts, but i see no noplace that shows what apps can control the screen. Thank you for the help, so far im still tryingf the other solutions, and i will fix my signature.
You didn't make any edits to your build.prop file, did you? Because what you're describing is the exact same behavior I got when I changed the board entry in build.prop to mimic the Galaxy Tab (this was when I was trying to get the Tab's version of Swype working on the nook).
If you open system/build.prop, there should be an entry that says the following:
ro.product.board=zoom2
If it says anything other than zoom2 for that entry, then that's what's causing you're problem... In which case, you'd just change it back to zoom2 to fix.
I did is that what happened,i was trying to spoof milestone overclock to work, il try that. Thanks a million!

Did you reboot after changing it to zoom2 and saving? If you changed it to just like in the post above and rebooted, I'd be shocked if it didn't take it back to normal.
Well, yes but it didn't fully restart, it just restarted I don't know what to do, maybe I can find the original build.prop file and thatll fix it

Did you hold down power for 10 seconds to do a full power-off and then power on again?
Yes hard shut down, maybe something else is wrong...

Ok, i was going to post this in the Virtuous Quattro Thread, but i am not yet allowed to. Anyway, just a couple issues.
1. My lockscreen has dissapeared, i have not disabled it or anything. So when i press the unlock buttn, it lights up to the main screen.
2. My Home button doesnt work, which is really annoying
PLEASE HELP xD
you should go to settings > security > screen lock.
If its already at slide just turn it off and back. Should put it on there
Does your soft key vibrate when you touch it? Just wondering if its still responding to touch

Maybe re download Virtuous Quattro RC2 and reflash and see if it persists. Sure it's not a hardware issue with the home button?

That's really odd, I would concur with empirexdude and say reflash. If its software issue that's got to fix it...
Did you figure out the lock screen issue?

Hey Guys,
A few days ago my home button stopped working so to exit out of apps I had to press back heaps of times to get home and it was all good.. This morning I pressed the side power button when i had some water on my fingers and I think that killed the phone
Now all it does is load the Galaxy S splash screen, then 5 seconds later it will turn off and then splash screen again.
When I take out the battery and put it back in, the splash screen loads again as if im holding the power button when I'm not.
When I hold the volume down button while putting the battery in, download mode comes up but only for 5 seconds.. Then it turns off and in a few secs download mode comes back on for 5 secs etc..
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Had my SGS for 1 and a half years and only now its giving me all these problems!
Thanks.
You can try putting it into a can full of rice (literally, the phone must be surrounded by rice), just in case it is a humidity problem...
Didnt ask for a smart ass answer.
Didn't try to answer like one, go and help yourself. Bye!

Sorry I didnt realize you were actually being serious until one of my friends recommended the same thing today!
You see, sometimes it's better to ask politely if someone is being serious or just joking...

hi folks
Im absolutely stressed and not impressed with Sony device and this one would be definitely my last one from Sony
I dont know what happed but today phone stopped to work and is in standstill. basically in the morning everything as fine that I fall asleep and phone usually woke me up. i noticed that i have a missed connection and this is the point that problems begun - I could access phone book. When i as clicking on icon with handset Ive got pop up information that app is not working, so I tried several times to open it up again adn eventually I finish by blocking phone totally. Right now I see black screen with Information bar on top showing icon of antivirus battery and clock (wrong hour) and at bottom icons of usual on screen bottoms. I tried to press and hold main switch but there is no reaction other that showing this screen I have described. Battery is built in so Im in deep sh...t now.
I can add that my phone was not rooted and I didnt play around with unofficial software.Please help me to restart xperia
Press and hold power button + volume+ button until it turn off. And try turn on again.

Reflash with SUS or the flashtool, and a soft reset on the Z is Vol+ & Power button together btw.

ah okay.. in my case i wanted to turn it on (from stand-by) and it didn't react. or actually the screen was very low-lighted black. after i push the 2nd time the power button the screen is completely black and the 3rd time i press it it works fine. not that bad but sometimes really annoying
Same case with me many times and thats annoying
Sent from my C5302 using xda app-developers app
yes, but i'd like to know, where exactly this problem comes from? if it is a problem in the system couldn't there be developed any tweak or similar?
It is a bug in the software. It does wakeup the phone and i am able to enter my patern to unlock it but i cant see it. After i turn my screen off and back on again it works normal. This happens only after a very very long time of deepsleep. However my screen turns on when my alarm goes off at 7:30 am
so far I can confirm this is a bug on sony's stock rom, as I have tried MIUI & CM 10.1, and right now using CM 10.2, the problem doesn't arise. the screen unlocks perfectly normal.

yes that bug is still there, although it isn't that frequent so not a major problem, it can be annoying ...
goes away if hit the power button again to turn the screen off and again to turn it on to the lock screen.
hopefully it'll be fixed in the next update.
regards
True that!... I do face this some times.. the screen lights up but its black...
need to press the power button again so that it gets locked and wake it back to normal pressing the power button again...its annoying.!
