I just put the Fresh 2.1.1 rom on my sprint Hero, and everything is great except for when i push the end call button it doesnt turn off the screen. It still does if im at the lock screen, but anywhere past that i have to wait for the screen to timeout and turn off itself, and that is rather annoying. Anyone have/know how to fix this problem?
If fresh has spare parts installed open it up and check the options under spare parts>end button behavior>check put phone to sleep hope that helps

So I Wiped Then Flashed from CyangenMod 3.6.8.1 to 3.9.7 And went fast and smooth boot slow but expected due to flash .... apps still fully functioned except for power manager full it was force closed at start so uninstalled app and re-installed app ran perfectly fine..... all other process that I had done seem to be working flawlessly ....my main issue as of this moment is something I havent seen before....its when my phone is on standby at this point if my phone is closed and I hit home or menu my screen does not turn on but I can here my selections and my buttons light up so I have to slide my phone open then place it back into standby using power button to then hit home or menu so that my screen turns on .... this is the same to turn on phone if its closed screen is just a black light screen so it must be slid open to see anything on the screen such as the T-mobile G1 bootloader etc.......
anyone know what maybe the problem here?
I can provide a device log to anyone that maybe able to assit me
bump so no one has anyclue as to away to attempt to fix this issue? The problem is that the screen only comes on if I slide the phone open but when slid closed hiting menu or home the display does not come on but you can tell that the phone thinks its on due to the fact and can here my desktop shortcuts click as if I was switching from 1 to another ......... anyone?
Hey Guys I really need your help my N1 won't power on for some reason. I really need to get some things off the phone from certain software that I had in case I have to have it repaired or sent away. I'll try to be brief what happened I was exercising with my phone inside a protective case that covers the whole phone and I went to change the next song while listening to music and when i went to push the power button the screen remained black the whole time and I couldn't see anything at all the screen was black the whole time after numerous attempts at pushing the power button. So I held down the power button to try and reboot it and then the music stopped, so then I hit the power button again to turn it on and it hasn't turned on since yesterday. I even took the battery out and let it chill for a min and still doesn't work. when I plug it in to the charger the orange/green light comes on and as well with the USB connection too, but still can get it to power on.
Anyone have any Idea what it could be? I am assuming it's the power button but I am not for sure. Is there anyway to turn it on again in case i need to recover any files, etc. the reason i want to get it to work is that I don't want to have to go through the hassle of sending it away to be repaired if there is some way I can do it myself. I am trying to avoid sending it away with my carrier and I really need to access certain files on the phone if all else fails. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it thnx to anyone.
If it's a power button failure, you can put the phone on charge, then remove and reinsert the battery... keep trying, it will turn on eventually...

it worked the first time I did it thank you so much well just in case it ever happens again how can I back up some things on my apps for example I have notes on AK notepad how would I back those up? and if I wanted to move some software to my sd card that doesn't allow it?
Hey thanks again you are a life saver!!!!!!!!
oh darn the X came up when I powered it up but still nothing just a black screen I got all excited for nothing
i got after 5 or so times of taking the battery out thnx again is there a way or software to make the N1 awake or power off with the trackball without rooting it since the power switch is buggy now?
Titanium Backup will backup apps and data to SD card.
Widget Locker has an option for trackball wake.
LockEnabler will let you turn screen off/sleep.
Quick Boot will let you reboot, boot into recovery etc. Be careful booting into recovery or boot loader, because power button is used to navigate (you have to use adb).

thnx again is there anyway to restart/reboot the phone if it is not rooted via trackball or another button?
Reboot is possible with Quick Boot (as noted above), but if you ever turn off then the battery toggle is your only option...

my power button seem to stop responding at times and it isnt the hardware thats messed up i think it has something to do with the software because when the power button stop functioning completely i do a battery pull and can turn on the phone perfectly fine its only when the phone is on is when the power button stops working...i noticed it mostly happens when i plug it into the dock maybe its the deskhome app not sure tho if anyone have this problem please let me know so i know i wont be the only one
Every phone cab have it's funky moments. I have seen this a couple times. Here is a solution I have found that works on all smart phones, and I believe that most will agree. Your phone is a computer, plain and simple. Try doing a battery pull every day our two.
It sounds like your problem is very defined in when it happens, is that so?

I do battery pulls when the power button completely doesn't work then sometimes it works for the whole day then sometimes takes me like few more battery pull after the initial pull for it to respond its annoying in some ways but I guess I'll live with it until I find the problem

hmm i think i figured out the problem if anyone still cares....when my phone is low battery or somewhat low (not above a certain percentage) my power button starts working normally.....dont know whats causing it maybe too much power hAHa
Something is definitely wonky with the phone when the screen is off... I have the lock screen disabled and it takes 3-4 presses of the volume buttons to wake the screen usually. Also, I have gosms wake the screen for certain peoples texts, and sometimes if the screen is off and I get a message from these ppl, the phone will decide it wants to vibrate for 2 mins, keep the screen on and not work at all until it resets itself... eh.

ok i know im gettin annoying with my theory's on why my power button doesnt work correctly but another thing that my power button starts working normally even at full power is when i change my wallpaper....i wonder would it be a wall paper problem although now i just think im going crazy lol
Hey all about a year ago I bought an evo and boxed up my hero. Recently I decided to pull the hero out so I can root it and toy around a bit. Well when I turn it on it gets to the lock screen and doesn't want to respond to anything I do with the touch screen. Sometimes I can swipe the unlock bar and hit power and power again and it will unlock to my home screen. But most of the time nothing happens.
I've tried a soft reset - menu, phone, power. I've tried recovery from hboot. I've tried removing the battery and powering up hundreds of times. I've tried pressing my task killer widget from the home screen. One time I was able to get to the home screen and got the turn phone off window but it powered down and when I reset same issue.
Before I activated my evo I had no issues with the hero I initially just wanted the bigger screen. I never tried any hacks or rooting it. I stored it in a safe place, never damaged it. I'm shooting blanks now. Very strange.
Anyone have any ideas? Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Where'd you store it? Maybe some extreme temperature or pressure messed it up.
Hard to diagnose since you didn't root it or anything. Probably something inside got messed up. That's all I can figure.

Have you tried pressing Volume Down and Turning it on, then Doing a factory Reset that way? Also Try to Remove the Sdcard and Turning it on...
Good Luck!
Cool thanks for the replies. I'll give the factory reset a try without the SD card when I get home tonight. I've also been using the hero battery as a back up for my evo as they use the same battery. So if all fails I still have that.

Thanks PMGRANDS, removing the SD card and booting through recovery worked. Everything is working smoothly, rooting tonight let the fun begin...
looks like i got a lemon, screen will not turn back on however device continues to function. The touchscreen even works but you can't tell what you are clicking on.
Only way to get back to functional is to pull the battery, only happened once last week but in the last two days i've had to pull it 6 times or so.
Just posting this up in case someone else starts having the same problem. I've got a replacement being shipped out this week.
You are not the only one. Mine does it from time to time

I might have had this happen last night. Black screen, buttons lights would only flicker once quickly when pressing the power button. Pressing and holding the power button did not cause a reboot. I did not try any screen action as I could not see anything. Had to pop the battery to get the device back to working.
--pat
I got my replacement, and it still does seem to have this bug to some extent, however, this phone seems to be able to get out of the screen black if something else triggers it.
For instance, I got a phone call, and that brought it out of the black-out. Another time i just kept pushing buttons and it finally woke up.
Hopefully it's just a software bug??
