It was working fine this morning, all of a sudden late in the afternoon, my screen keeps turning on and off as well as the phone option menu popping up nonstop (options that pop up when holding on the power button). im very frustrated as to what the problem is, i just want to fix it and get on with it.
im thinking its a problem with the home button with it sticking after you press it. any help will be appreciated. thanks
Why would you think home button?
Sounds like the POWER button is sticking to me...

Hi I recently updated my stock to sense and afterwards have been noticing that the power button on top of the phone won't turn off the screen. I don't think anything is wrong with the power button because I can still long press and get the menu with power down, airplane mode, etc. I don't think its the sense UI either because it didn't start happening until I started downloading and getting rid of apps for my phone. My screen does still time out BTW and if anyone could help me solve this issue that'd be great

I have the same issue. I am running CM 5.0.6 but I think/suspect beautiful widgets may be at play here but I don't have the time to uninstall and test since I have my screen timeout to 1 minute, I just get by.
Hi everyone,
I got a HTC Tytn 2 and i have a problem with it.
When i boot the phone it starts up and goes into windows like every windows mobile phone.
But when i press the standby button my screen wont go out of standby.
Only when i reset the phone it will work again.
Anyone got idea's ?
Oke, since no one responded.
Is there any way how i can make the Power Button replaced with the Speed Dial Button.
Because i think my power button is broke.

Have you at least tried backing up your data and doing a hard reset first ?
Yes, and i have also tried to put on a new rom and even updated the radio.
Iam a little bit out of idea's...
here are some more ideas:
1. how to test the power button: you say pressing the power button does not wake up the device once it goes to sleep. conversely, does pressing the power button put the device to sleep while the screen is on? if the power button is unable to make the device go off->on as well as on->off, then the power button is likely broken. if pressing the button achieves on->off, then the power button is probably ok and some software issue becomes more likely.
2. how to enable wake on pressing ANY hardware button: look for an option in Settings. i can't tell you the exact option because the ROM i am using does not have a link for this option, but this option does exist 100% in stock ROM and in lots of other ROMs. it contains settings like "Lock all buttons except power button" and "Keep all buttons unlocked" or something similar. by using the second option, pressing ANY hardware button while the screen is off will wake up the device.
3. you can use AE button plus to perform even more advanced button (re)mappings.
4. just to be sure that your device is really working correct, does the screen wake up when you call the phone or when you receive a text message? if it does not wake up even then, then search for "sleep of death".
Thanks for the response.
I think its a Service of Death problem.
Because when i try calling/smsing it, it wont go on
The buttons do work then...hopefully there's a fix for this problem...
Oke, i tried switching to 2G or 3G only but that didn't fix my Standby of Death.
I also bought a new sim card of vodafone so i wont get a No Sim error.
But what can i do now about it...it hangs like every 5 min...
Okay, after a will testing, the phone hangs every time its almost like when iam on the road with my tytn 2 and placing it upside down, it hangs.
But when iam putting it in the leather holder it doesn't hang.
Any had the same problems ?

Maybe it's hardware and something is coming loose
Anyone having issues with power button being stuck? When I press the power button, it often gets stuck and phone reboots because of it. It's happened over 15 times today... It's getting quite annoying. I didn't spill anything or drop the phone, the power button just sticks and I have to keep pressing to get it unstuck... The volume buttons are fine though.

No problem here. If it were me, I would get the device replaced.
Hmmm. Yea. I'm gonna call them tomorrow. Still debating whether to return it or exchange it... I've been a little disappointed with battery life. Hmmm..
I am also having issues with my power button. It used to click when pressed like the volume buttons. Now I feel no click action at all. It still powers on the phone and screen but I feel that it is only going to get worse. makes me worried. No body else having this issue?
Not me, at least
The volume buttons on my Nexus 4 do the same thing although it happened much later in its life. If you can I would advise getting it replaced because its very annoying to say the least.
Mine just started this.
Last night I noticed my screen wasn't turning off after pressing the power button. All it would do was act like I was holding the power button with the intention of turning the phone off. one time it actually did turn off. This sucks. I'll be going by the Verizon store next time it happens. (because the phone is behaving completely normal right now)

has anyone found a solution to this?
i just received this phone as a motocare replacement for one with a cracked screen. it feels like they sent me a refurbished one someone spilled soda on. i kinda feel like a jerk sending it right back, but the constant resetting sure is annoying! i'm ready to send the phone in, but would much prefer to fix it myself if there's a way to do it. any way to fix it?
edit: nevermind. i sent it back. they sent it like this, they can deal with it. i'm afraid if i mess with it, i'll kill the warranty. still 100% love the phone and can't wait to get it back!!
Hello guys,
so I woke up this morning and found my phone lying on the floor still connected to the charger. When I tried to unlock the screen everything was phone, but when I tried to relock the screen it kept popping up the power menu. Also I noticed that the powerbutton had moved a bit more to the inside of the phone. Sometimes it turns off the screen but immediately after turns it on again. I can turn the phone off but it will instantly reboot.
Any solution? It's kinda a pain in the *** that I can't switch off the phone...
Thanks in advance
fix
The same thing happened to me last week i was very pissed of. Then i tryed the safetypin and itr worked. So what you do is remove the button but making the safety pin go in the small gaps of the powerbutton and then pull it out. If it is not damaged to much just put according to your need so all the functions work. Another fix is get a new power button and put it in the power button hole it should work now. If this helped please hit the thanks button
Hi.
I've got the rog phone 2 button am getting really annoyed by accidently pressing the power button every time I pick the phone up.
The button is exactly in middle.
I pick the phone up from middle as its a good balancing point to stop it from falling.
Anyone else having the same problem?
Any fixes or remap to make you press combination of power and volume to power on/off?
Cheers
