Screen / Unlock Issue - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
Recently found that occasionally when pressing the power button to wake up my phone, the screen does not come on but yet the touchscreen stills works e.g I can unlock my phone and open things but yet the screen remains off?
Is this a common issue? Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Jamie

Known problem here aswell. Pressing the button again fixes this for a while..
Also wrong place mate.

Little problem with "End Call" Button

Hello guys,
I´ve got a little Problem with my diamond.
I´ve set up my "End Call" button to lock the device, if pressed a few seconds.
Sometimes after a call this does not work. Instead of locking the phone, the button acts as "Cursor right" button and scrolls trough the tf3d tabs ...
Putting the phone into sleep mode and wake it up again makes the button act as normal.
I had this problem with the original T-Mobile 1.93 Rom, and also with AZTOR V7, which I flashed a few days ago (great ROM btw. )
Any ideas?
I guess you need to press it accurately, try to press it as much right and bottom as possible

No, it´s definitely not a hardware problem. It works again, if you put the phone to sleep for a second, or if you reconfigure the call end button in the system settings.

Froyo - back button issues (goes into screenshot mode)

Hi, I have had the i9000m unlocked and have been using it with Rogers for a couple of months now. I just flashed bell's 2.2 with kies late last week. Overall, the phone seems fine, but one thing I've noticed is that the back button doesn't always go back; it often will activate the screenshot functionality -> i.e. i press the back button and the back button light turns off and if i press the home button, i end up taking a screenshot...i've had to remove the battery and restart...but this seems to happen randomly.
From a quick google, it seems that when one holds down the back key and presses the home button, the phone should take a screenshot, but this happens even when i just 'click' the back button; i don't even hold it down.
Anyone encounter this or have a fix for this issue?
Thanks in advance.
(not rooted or using any lag fix on 2.2)
Ok, goto your dialer and type the following:
*#*#2663#*#*
Then click Touch key FW update.
Let me know if this fixes the issue for you too,
I had the same issue and after doing this I haven't seen the problem in a number of days.
This may or may not work, I have found this menu on my own and don't know if it will solve anything

There is also a thread for this

Power Button isn't responding!

I installed JellyBam recently and the power button was working fine...after a while the power button started working with some difficulty...now i cant lock or unlock and im using the volume wake up setting.
Can anyone tell me how to make the button work again?
I read many threads about similar problems but couldnt find the solution.
Thanks.
Are you sure it isnt related with the button phisically?
Im asking because i never heard of such problem.
Are you having phone earpiece problems?
Try another rom

Yes, when I plug in the headphones they keep on plugging out.
....
i have the same problem, but it's true for all roms that i try.....maybe it's just a hardware problem....
anyways, i suggest remapping the gesture key as the lock button....at least the only problems you'll only have is that you have to do this everytime you flash a rom and that this will not work as the power button; meaning if you shutdown your phone, the only way to turn it on is by connecting it to a power source...
..then again, you can just get it fixed at a shop......
hope i helped a little

[Q] Wierd problem when turning screen off and on

Hey guys, im having a bit of a problem. My phone is shuting off on itself.
Everytime i turn it on, it boots up no problem, but when i hit the power button to turn the screen off, when i want to turn the screen on again by pressing the power button, the screen just goes deep blue, and turns off.
I haven't change anything on it for quite a few months now, so i'm not sure why this is happening. Im on Viper 3.5 i think or 3.7, using faux123 kernel, dont remember which version, but an old one with which i never had any troubles... rooted, s-on
Any ideas?
Thanks!

PD: Logcat in the .rar file...was too big for .txt
Really?? No one??
Well, just for further info... my phone appeared to fix itself, since it stopped doing that weird thing for a couple of days, but now is back... nothing ever changed, no new apps, or settings or anything...
Any ideas welcome
Edit: Attaching new logcats...

I think your power button is broken (or you may have a related hardware issue). Nothing but a root app can reboot the phone, and I've never seen that happen by accident.

Yeah, i thought about it being hardware but something is off... i mean, if it where the power button, then i shouldnt be able to turn it on easily, or it wouldnt turn off the screen properly, nor would it just start working alright for a couple of days... plus, it didnt recieve any hits or anything during, before or after the problem.
I also thought it could be the screen, but when its on, it works perfectly, as on the first day...
But yeah, I'm not taking hardware problem out of the table...just seems unlikely to me...
Thanks for your answer!

Edit: also, I just found out it doesnt actually restart...screen just turns dark blue, then it powers the screen off and it wont turn on when pressing power... but i know its on, because i can still hear notification sounds of incoming messages...
Edit2: Just tried same but instead of using power button, i used logo2sleep and home2wake kernel options, and did the on/off with them, and same result...dark blue screen then off and not turning on... so it cant be power button

[SOLVED]HTC One M7 thinks I use buttons, doesn't respond.

Hi all!
First of all, I'm not sure if I'm doing everything right here, so excuse me if I'm doing something wrong
I'm new.
I've had my HTC One M7 from aliexpress.com for 2 weeks and 2 days now.
Have had great fun of it, nothing seemed wrong, was working perfectly. There were some rumours about an unofficial android-version that was put on this phone, which might be the problem..
Everytime I turn the phone screen on it thinks I hold/doubletap/tap/repeatedly tap the home button, and sometimes when I power it off it thinks I hold the volume down-button and takes a screenshot.. When I finally get to type my 4-digit pin code, it unlocks, goes to home screen, does the same again. Seems like my phone thinks I'm using the buttons..
I've changed settings (in a legit official way via Settings) of my home button to Hold for menu, Hold and swipe up for Google Search, and double-tap for recent apps..
Have tried factory reset twice, have tried rebooting it over and over, have tried almost anything.. I'm at the point of buying a new phone now, because I fear that HTC will not help me because it's an unofficial version of Android.. Any suggestions?
Everytime I open an app it just closes it and goes to home, sometimes before it does that it opens recent apps.. After that it just freezes and I can't touch it. Sometimes after waiting a couple of seconds, I can tap the screen and maybe it's fast enough to open for example WhatsApp, and then it just shuts off and does what I just stated.
Really weird!
I'm quite desperate. Could a custom ROM (Cyanogen or Android lollipop) fix this perhaps?
Please, help

This is purely a hardware issue. Your home button is somehow always in "on" position. Given it's a capacitive button, it could be the digitizer or a scratch on the home button area

Any idea on how to fix this?
This is somewhere about what I mean, read my reply also.
This might even be closer to what I mean.
Should I just send it back to HTC or can I fix this myself, with your heroic help?

Seems like just the thing I wrote. Considering it's a hardware issue you could replace the screen-digitizer assembly by yourself if you are familiar with that kind of work. I tried once on my old Desire and fried the motherboard, so I don't have cojones to do it [emoji6]
