Just moved from MeanBean to a couple of CM based ROM's, first Dirty Unicorns latest, now Deck's CM11 build, and I'm having trouble with the screen. The phone boots up fine and opens the ROM and everything is quick, but when I lock the screen, I can't get it to turn back on. When I press the power button, the buttons light up below the screen, but the screen doesn't do anything. Only way I can fix it is to power off and reboot via power button long press, but it does it again when I boot back up. Any thoughts?!?

I'm running the latest CM 10.2 Rom and mine does kinda the same thing. When it locks and the I try to unlock it the screen won't turn on but the buttons light up. But I don't have to restart the phone. It just takes a couple tries with the power button. But it would be nice if someone knew how to fix the issue.

There's talk in Deck's CM11 thread that the screen wake issue might be an issue with the Interactive governor. Try switching governors and see if the issue persists.

Search for an issue called screen on lag. Finz is right, interactive might be causing issues. Try ondemand. No current permanent fix is available at this point in time.

Old thread I know, but I'm hoping someone might know a little more about this by now. I'm on the latest Lineage build for my EVO and it actually runs really well. Only problem is the power button screen wake issue. I've tried different governors, but nothing seems to make a difference.
