[Q] Slide keyboard open, screen shuts off. Anyone else had this problem?

---

I'm thinking it's a ribbon cable between the two halves of the phone that is causing this. I have flashed multiple different ROMs and restored backups from before this happened, all with full wipes in between. When i slide the keyboard open, the screen seems to lose power. It won't come back on until i shut the phone and press the power button once to turn off the capacitive buttons, and once more to turn it back on.

This has been happening to me for a couple months now and I would like to know what it is also! Now I just stick with swype because it's a B**** trying to get the screen back if I open the keyboard on haha.

Yeah mine wasn't like that when i posted, i could turn it back on with 2 presses. Now, however, it can take upwards of a few minutes for me to get the screen to turn on. I went to Sprint and they ordered me a replacement free of charge, but it's not gonna be here til Monday. I hate on screen keyboards that's why I have a shift!

I have had all kinds of screen short problems all cause by the shield and holster combo once I removed that my screen quit shorting out, there were time I would literally flick to screen so hard I would hurt my finger to get it to come back on so i took the case off thinking the phone was trashed and like a week later it was 100% fine and has been for 3 months

I had the SAME thing happen with my old one. Although sprint wouldn't give me a free one because my screen was busted from a drop also at the time (which i thought that was what caused the screen problem)

Seems that this is a common problem, case or no case. I've never had a case of any kind on mine.

Edit: Disregard lol

Anyway I always use a case (otterbox if i can)

I'm just now having the same problem. Never had a case and never have had to replace my phone so its still the original. Maybe its a defect with the phones that had came out cause i know on my HTC touch pro 2 there was a defect on the screens for people that bought the phone when it first came out. I don't wanna replace mine now cause i don't wanna deal with batch files lol so i'm learning to use the onscreen keyboard

Then don't use the batch files. Do it with adb

Its honestly not hard at all to use adb and do it. I downgraded and rooted and everything in a movie theatre using only my phone in about 20 minutes.

Saw this issue a few times, on several Touch Pro 2's. Although I've never had the issue, I've seen what was the cause most of the time. It was usually the flex cable connecting the keyboard.
