Phone blacks out entirely - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

I have a Moto G5s plus and am using a Pixel Experience Plus custom rom (latest stable). It's not rooted.
The problem I have is that the phone is working absolutely fine and never freezes while working and goes without lag. Only when I lock it, I sometimes am unable to wake it up with either the fingerprint scanner or power button. It takes a reboot (long pressing power button) for it to work again. This happened on the stock rom also and hence I decided to use a custom rom.
The phone does not overheat during this but does during charging. I don't know if these are related but that's all the info I have.

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 ONLY does restarts

I'm wondering if you guys have any fix for my problem
Here it goes :
One click on power button, it does a screen lock.
The problem is that when i hold my power button, it off the phone by itself.
I'm wondering if I want to bring back the menu when you hold the power button down? ( Besides flashing a new rom of course )
ie. Turn Power Off
Enable Flight Mode
Off Data Connection
Silent Mode
on Darkys v4.1 2.2 Froyo
Mine just started to behave like this aswell. Not out of the blue though, something went wrong with a flash and the phone got corrupted. I fixed it by installing a rom again with cwm and restored backups. Phone works fine now (as far as ive tested) except the powerbutton behaves like you describe, it makes the phone vibrate a few times and then reboots, without showing the menu to opt for shutdown and other options. Very frustrating.
Considering the way it happened im pretty sure some sort of corruption is the cause. I think a full flash with odin or heimdall may be needed. Will report back if I find out how to fix it.
Edit: I cwm-flashed extended power menu to restore my powermenu (well, replace it with custom). Still not sure what caused it, I think careless flashing, possibly involving an incompatible package.

Oxygen OS capacitive Buttons are not working properly - FIX?!

Hi.
I have noticed a Problem inside Oxygen OS that frustrates me daily.
Watched into it and found no posts about it. Which is really curious...
No Custom Rom (based on Oxygen OS) has it yet solved. (Or maybe is not even informed about it )
Problem:
The capacitive buttons wont always work like they should.
If you press them sometimes the lights only light up and it vibrates, but noting happens.
To reproduce this Problem:
Go into any app.
Press the Home button and immediately press the recent apps button.
Nothing will happen. (Only Vibration and blinking lights)
This Problem happens on any Oxygen OS version and custom Rom based on Oxygen. - For Example "Freedom OS"
It only happens with the capacitive Buttons. The on-screen Buttons react snappy like they should.
So my Question?
Do you know a fix for this?
Do you have the same Problem?
Yeah, you're right, but this problem only occurs if you press the RecentApp Button immediately after you've pressed the home button. And immediately means within a few milliseconds.
I've never the noticed this issue in my daily usage as I'm not pressing the button instantly after using the home button. Maybe I'm not fast enough ?
I'm not having this problem (4.0.2 stock)
i am having same problem with capacitive buttons ! sometimes they don't work, updated from ob15 to ob18
did anyone find solution for this?
have op3t ob18 works all fine ?

Yes, just tried it on OB18 as well and couldn't get the issue you're describing to happen. I tried several apps. In fact, it seems even more responsive than the on-screen navigation.

Samsung Galaxy A30( SM-A305G ) does not wake up. Any suggentions?

Hello friends,
My situation:
Out of the blue my phone stopped responding to the wake-up action. Every time I lock it, I have to restart for the screen to turn on again. The power button is working just fine, since I can go to recovery mode and use it to select options there. I even installed a somewhat wrong version of the TWRP recovery that would not boot to the main OS, but the power/lock button would work just fine in recovery, putting the phone to sleep and waking it up. I reverted the instalation after so I could boot to the main OS ( Android 10). I tried reinstalling(from an official image of the rom) the full rom, incluing everything from OS to Bootloader, and could not make the wakeup action work again. Once my phone is on, if I lock it, I have to force a restart to turn the screen on again. I even tried sending a direct command to the OS using adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_POWER and KEYCODE_WAKEUP to no success. Even tough I made sure other common events like opening the camera (KEYCODE_CAMERA) were working when the screen was on, and I bet it was working when the screen was off too, but it would not wakeup the screen and I would not be able to see the camera view finder.
My phone is a Samsung galaxy A30, model SM-A305G, currently in Android 10.
I think I described the problem good enough, but If anyone have a problem understanding it, just let me know and I try to explain it better.
Can anyone help me out here? I tried a lot of things to not success.
Thanks!
I have the exact problem you described, did you find any solution ?

flash official ROM with Odin or with twrp
I tried several different official roms by odin but nothing changed.
Power button and volume rockers works perfectly in recovery or download mode but in the OS volume rockers do not do anything (nor volume button commands from adb shell) and if I press the power button phone sleeps and never wakes up.
Very very strange at this stage I disabled sleep and with a amoled black bacground using the phone but I really wonder wtf is going on ?

very strange
I made furher research about the issue and here is what i've found.
Some videos mentioned same problem in similar samsung models and they stated that changing the daughterboard that connected to motherboard via screen flex resolved the issue. Other videos reflowed the connector in the motherboard side of the flex.
Also phone not responding the adb power commands while in sleep but responding fine when awake got me thinking there is a problem with a some kind of awake pin of screen. Probably there is a short or a missconnection in that pin. That's why solutions in the videos work I think.
It is definitelty not a software issue because it happens in every official or custom rom except in twrp (which does not put screen into sleep mode according "mScreenState" info)
It is not a hardware issue related to power button. Power button works perfectly fine in recovery, download mode and when awake.
Its a hardware issue that probably about the connection that sends wake up signal which maybe from motherboard side of the connection or maybe daughterboard side.
Not a real solution but I found a app called touch protector which has an option that you can disable the touch and set screen brightness to 0%, basically means normal off state for the amoled screens.
I set double click of volume down to sleep mode for touch protector. Maybe with some keymap editing someone can set powerbuttons function to not real sleep but touch protector's sleep. This will be best software solution.
In the hardware side if the problem is daughterboard it can be swapped easily but reflowing smd connecters in motherboard could be risky for me and I don't want to open the never opened device for not solving the problem.

Occasional random screen unresponsive after reboot

I am curious if anyone else experiences this and what could be the cause. I have a rooted Pixel 4a 5g running stock Android 11. Once per week I have Titanium Backup run a backup and have it reboot when the backup is done (TiBu will stop some apps for the backup and then they won't function again until a reboot). Most times everything is fine but every once in a while when I try to enter my pin after reboot, the screen is unresponsive. I then have to force power it off/on. Usually this resolves the issue but every once in a while I struggle to get the phone powered back on. Holding the power button doesn't work. Holding power plus vol down, or power plus vol up doesn't work either. I then go into a mild panic, put the phone down for a bit then try the power/vol button combos again (I never remember the exact combo that works since I am mildly panicking) and it eventually powers on with working touchscreen.
I find this behavior weird, annoying, and not in the realm of normal operation. Any thoughts what could be causing this? I use the same apps that I have used on all my previous phones and have never experienced this. Is it an Android 11 issue? Would upgrading to A12 fix it?
Appreciate any feedback!
I have similar problem - go to a bookmarked website, no touch response, restart usually fixes it....super annoying
