This happens, doesn't seem to be related to anything. As others have said, touching the pad on the bottom (anywhere) and then pressing the power button again seems to work. Kinda sucks that it happens.

I have this problem too. But I was thinking that if we get gyrator to simulate the center button being pressed before power off then this would kinda make it so the lights didn't stay on...But after looking at gyrator, idk if its possible with this program.

Gyrator isn't what you'd want for this, but possibly mortscript?

Yeah, before I hard reset and was using Gyrator I noticed that the lights (always?) stayed on, which I suspect might have been one reason for my battery drain (in conjunction with s2u2 and the way I had it set up...just not sure if it was allowing the device to really suspend, or if it was just turning off the screen).

Even without using Gyrator to turn off the screen/suspend the device, though, I will still have the lights stay on even when pushing the power button sometimes. I don't even know how to recreate the situation, as it seems to happen randomly, and with nothing running in the background (during my stock battery life testing I'm being careful to close all apps once I'm done using them).

This method was posted in another thread, but I can't find it.

I do something similar, I swipe my thumb over that area and then turn it off.
