Screen-off = dead phone

However, whenever I turn the screen off, it will not wake up again (the screen flickers and then goes permanently black), and I have to hold the power-button for 10 seconds and boot it back up again. I haven't had any such problem on the other distros, so it clearly seems software-related.

This problem occurred on the latest 5/6 stable version downloaded from here: https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/ro...stemimage/

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround? 

Thanks!

@okgo  Have you tried a 2 or 3 second press of the power button? I recall experiencing the screen flash like that some time back, and holding the power button for a few seconds worked for me. I'm currently running my PinePhone with UBPorts on the KernelUpgrade channel, and I'm not seeing that quick flash and back to black.
