I've been having a problem with the physical buttons on my phone. At first I thought I had a defective power button, because I was having issues with waking the screen. I sent it in to HTC for repairs, and they sent it back saying it was fixed.

Now I'm using WidgetLocker, and sometimes I have issues getting the screen to wake, even using the volume rocker or the trackball. I have to do a battery pull to get the phone to restart.

Should I just get HTC to do a device swap, or is there something I can do to fix this? I'm running the latest official patch from Google, and I'm not rooted, if that makes any difference.

Could it be WidgetLocker that's preventing it from waking? Try the default one for a few days, see if there's a difference...

Or try to remove the locker completely for a few days to see what gives.

i dont think is the widget.. i to have this problem, randomly, when i pick up the device and try to wake it up via the power button, the touch buttons light up but the screen stays off.. i even received a call once and the ringtone would play but the screen wouldnt turn on.. and that started when i had no special wake up widget.

now i i just installed the no lock widget, and even when i try to wake up the device with the track ball, the screen wouldnt turn on.

this happens randomly, and not very often, but when ever it does hapen, i always have to remove the battery, and now my 16gb card is getting corrupted =/

i dont know but i have my suspicious that maybe the apps to sd is what is causing this problem.. or perhaps the sd card??

I have a problem waking my phone from time to time. The phone is still working to a certain degree because if I hold the volume down button, it will vibrate after a short period.
Because it has been happening every few days, I turned on the debug via usb functionality. Today the screen refused to wake, so I plugged it into my laptop via usb. I am able to start a shell on the phone so it is not locking up completely. I poked around and found the 'logcat' utility. Here is the output when I press the power button to wake the phone:
Code:

Does this mean anything to anybody? I see lots of references to 'BeautifulWidgets' could this be causing the problem?
