Talking Re: power button issues on 6.5?

Hello all,

I was having this problem also right after I upgraded to Sprint stock 6.5. I ran it for a while with NO mods because I wanted to test how it worked as is.

I noticed that it wouldn't power back on the screen more often if I had left the phone at the Home screen (with the time up at the top). I also found that if I tried a series of long press, short press on the power button, then WAIT for about 30 to 60 seconds, the phone WILL come on. I quickly came to the conclusion that the weather animation and clock animation were causing the SLOW turn on.

So, I hunted for ways to turn off the weather animation and clock animation. I found two cabs that will do just that. Once I installed them, I hardly every have the problem!

I've attached the two cabs.
WVGA_2.5 is the clock flip fix. NoWeatherAnimations will turn off that slow animation. Sorry, I can't reference the creators as I just downloaded and saved them for myself. The original uploaders are on this forum!

I've since installed lots of other mods, including Cookie's.

I think the only times I have it not want to power back on the screen is when I've left the phone on the Home page with the clock up at the top, when I powered off the phone. With Cookie's mod, I usually leave the phone on the Home page, but with it scrolled UP so my shortcuts have filled the screen. My guess is that more fully disables any clock animation. Try that before you power off your phone (aka put it to sleep).

Good luck!
