Power Button- slow?

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

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

Power button not working

Anybody having problems with the power button not working?
It doesn't work at all no matter how hard I push. At times it works without issue, other times I have to use the camera button to wake my phone.
Anyone else with this?

Defective unit.

Did you both ever opened the phone, maybe for repair or the.prevoius owner? Maybe check the "outside" when opening phone (and removing LCD) many times the button flex cable gets damaged or get a small crack so it stop working after some time... The button flex is mounted very easily, maybe just need to get it back right into position and make sure it holds the contacts. The whole flex is just 6euro, repairing easy.. Just follow "ifixit"

I had a problem with the power button on my phone recently. It was off, just like you describe, guys.
But the combination: power button + vol UP, to force a reboot of the phone worked and after booting, the button was working and the problem never occurred again.

Screen not working after some minutes

Hi everyone I've got a big problem with my wife's Mi 5. After some minutes/hours of usage the touchscreen stops working and the only solution the make it work again is to reboot the phone (by keeping the power off button pressed).
I've tried some rom (MIUI stable, MIUI dev, Paranoid Android 7.3.0) but all of them have the same problem, someone has got the same issue?
I think it's not only an hardware problem because the touchscreen works most of the time... Any ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem with my wife's Mi5 too. I thought she was talking rubbish until I started using the phone full time over the past few weeks.
Symptoms:
Screen switches on and accepts one touch event.
Screen is then unresponsive to touch events.
All other buttons (home, power, volume) all work OK.
All functions work OK (calling, SMS, etc) via remote control (MyPhoneExplorer)
Screen then becomes responsive again after reboot
Tried so far:
Clearing dalvik/cache
Clean flash - using MiFlash and China dev ROM
Opened phone, cleaned all ZIF connections and reconnected.
It almost feels like something in the touch firmware or driver crashes and does not reconnect - as the phone is clearly usable save for the touch panel.
I'm going to ask Bruno/bgcngm and see if there's anything I can do to try and diagnose the issue.

In my case unresponsive screen to touch events, all phisical button works and the only option to make it works again is to reboot. I didn't try to use it with some "remote" control.

I didn't try to open the phone, but I installed all roms with TWRP and format data/wipe cache/dalvik before.

Well on my old mi4c i had similar problem. I mean sometimes when i pressed power button and tried to unlock it screen didn't work. For me solution was simply to press power button again to turn off screen and then turn IT on. Maybe this will help u. Have u try that ?

Do you think it's something related with Doze or standby? I think so because today (and yesterday and so on...) I wasn't able to turn off the wake up alarm (the phone was in standby with the screen off all night) with "the screen" but I have to force restart the phone with the button... and it's very annoying.
Maybe we can try with some Marshmallow ROM instead Nougat one.

I'm facing same issue.I've changed my display panels but it doesn't solve my problem.it is quite painfull.i don't know what should i do.

any update sir?

My MI 5 has a different issue. There is no response if I place the phone on the table, but it is fine if I held it. It seems the touch panel is only responsive when the sort of sensors that a human is holding the phone. I have no idea why it starts to happen in these weeks. This symptom happens even in TWRP, so I don't think it is related some particular ROM. Tried firmware 7.7.6 ~ 7.9.22 with no luck.

skip lock screen
Hi
I know I am late to the party, but just faced the same issue yesterday. To bypass the issue, follow the following steps
1. Restart your phone .
2. Enable developer options from about section in settings. (google enable developer options for specifics)
3. In developer options, there is an option to skip screen lock. Enable that.
4. Voila!!
Hope it will help other mi5 users..

Hi,
I had the same problem. I found this video and I tried to fix it. It worked pretty well. Bye

In a situation that I can't do any service for my Mi5 as of now - is this really loose cable thing ?
Can more folks confirm that this cable solution from above video works ?
exactly same symtoms :
Random screen freeze - only option is to reboot phone or phone goes rebooting randomly itself.

Serious display problem in my k20 pro

When i turn off the display, by double tapping or pressing power button, After that pressing power button again or double tapping wont wake the display on. After a long time period the ambient display might show up but that is becoming rare day by day, every day this period of nightmare is increasing. Now I'm even afraid to turn off the display so that it wont turn on again.
Sometimes when people call, makes the phone rings but shows nothing on the display.
Only way to forcefully wake the display is to pressing power button long time so that it will restart. But nowadays it doesnt even work!!!
Now, Im stuck, is it hardware or software problem??!?

my Redmi k20 pro display problem
Hi xda developers
After wetting the phone with a hand sanitizer and using the same wetness of the screen, I played the online game and put it in automatic game mode and rested for a while...
After waking up, I noticed that the phone was turned off, which was turned on by holding down the power button, but the screen is off...
Currently, only vibrators and notification lights work for the phone, and the phone is organized by a computer.
Also, the phone is charged and its sound can be heard while connecting it to the charger, and its sound can be heard in the same way to lock the screen.
Does anyone have an idea?

Omg this is what I'm searching for..

I'm also having the exact same problem with my k20 indian variant. Started when I was on miui 11. Thought software issue. Updated to miui 12 still the same. When turn off screen using power button, or time out screen, goes off. After that not able to turn on display by pressing power button or double tap. No AOD , no fingerprint icon. But for some time sound's playing. But sometimes automatically display comes. Sometimes it reboots.
I tried rebooting by pressing and holding power button, the vibration came but no display. But after sometime, display comes. Now almost everytime when display turn off, I'm having this issue. It is really annoying. Have you found a solution? Please update your experience..........

I experienced this problem few months ago. Luckily it was still under warranty and the service center replaced the motherboard for me free of charge.
