My power button stopped working to wake up the switch, I can hold it to shutdown but not to wake the device or shut off the screen. The issue just popped up few days ago. I have my switch android rooted. I have tried the reinstall but it did not work.

any ideas?

AutoRCM. Do what you usually do to push your payload of choice.
Sorry I think i wasnt clear, I can do everything and I am on Auto Rcm, the problem is once booted into android I am not able to use the power button to wake the device if the screen turns off. If I hold down power button it shuts down the device. Im not sure why the power button isnt registering properly on android it works fine on the switch os. I have tried modifing the settings to no avail

You can not wake the device if the screen goes off on its own because it goes into deep sleep and that is broken on the current android build.

hmm but pressing the power button should turn off the screen?...because it doesnt do that for me anymore..it used to before. Reinstalling did not fix it. I do have have Su lineage OS flashed for root.

My power button also began behaving oddly at random. Enabling auto brightness helps. If I disable auto brightness my power button will stop taking commands unless held. Flashing light into or blocking the front sensor will wake the screen instead.

You are right thats such a weird bug. Enabling the auto brightness did help for me too. Thanks!
