I know its not off because holding power does not turn it on. I need to hold power for a few seconds presumably to shut the phone down then hold power again to start it back up (screen shows nothing). Then everything starts working as it should. I don't know how to trouble shoot this as I have to reset to get access back to the terminal to check systemctl and obviously after reboot nothing in the system journal to indicate whats happening.
Any one else having this issue or have any idea how to trouble shoot it?
I am using Manjaro with Phosh and have a problem where the GUI will appear to freeze, well not quite, more like the input is no longer responsive. The GUI then becomes as what I would describe as "jittery", the last touch screen input toggles/untoggles rapidly, if using the onscreen keypad, or if scrolling, it shifts by a pixel or so and jumps back and forth. If I press the side power button to shutoff the screen and try to turn it back on, the backlight turns on but the screen remains black. The only way I've found to bypass this is to plug in a USB-C to USB-A adapter and hook up an external keyboard. This allows me to CTRL+ALT+F2 to a terminal login prompt and use that to 'systemctl restart phosh' which restarts it and brings back the lockscreen.
I'm still trying to find the exact error messages that would be associated with the problem, but I'll see if I can find them.
