[International / GSM] Power button problem--root related?

I rooted successfully today, but I now have a problem with the power button when the phone is already on. Sometimes (rarely) it turns the screen on to stay, but most of the time the screen just briefly flashes on, and I don't get the chance to unlock it.

Did anyone else have this problem? I'm dreading having to unroot and return this....
 
EDIT: Forget what I said. I found the problem...for me at least.

If you have LightFlow installed to control the LED, go to General settings and scroll all the way down to where you see Additional LEDs found. Make sure s6e8aa0 is NOT checked. That is what was screwing with my screen. I unchecked that and its all good now!

I will give it a try later! Thanks for this.

LOL. I was about five minutes away from unrooting as well, but luckily I was able to figure it out.

Now if only i could figure out how to improve signal strength. I mah exchsnge this for a new.Nexus and see if thag solves it. I know others were complaining about it, too, but mine is ridiculous. Im hoping I just got a bad radio and an exchange will solve it.
