This just started happening the other day. Typically you press the power button and screen goes black. But recently i press the power button, screen goes black, then within 2 seconds the screen turns back on in locked mode as if the button were pressed again... not huge issue I guess but annoying. Any ideas?

My power button started to malfunction a couple weeks ago. The problem was solved after it took a violent fall. I guess the power button was stuck. There are some do it yourself videos on youtube if you are unable to get a replacement phone.

drdome99,
Check out Button Savior (non root): http://market.android.com/details?id=com.smart.swkey.nonroot (there's also a root version if your phone is rooted) for an app that you can use instead of having to use the Power button.

Obviously you'll still have to use the Power button or Home button to turn the screen on.

Just had this problem and fixed it. There was a Ambient Display setting in my Rom.
I turned it on by mistake. That caused this issue.
