Screen problems

The thing is I have a sony Ericsson Xperia Ray and seems to be abit of a problem with the screen.
The thing is when the phone locks and goes to standby the screen goes completley black. But the thing is i can still answer calls and music still plays when it is like this. To get it back to working screen i usually have to hit the power button a few times to pretty much shock it back to life.
Was wondering would anyone know what is causing the problem, because i have no guarantee on it and really dont want to spend alot of money on something i can do myself
Cheers
 
That sounds pretty normal to me.

Im on the htc desire s and if im playing music and i dont touch the phone the screen will lock and will continue to play music. If i want to interact with it again i have to press the power button to activate the screen and unlock or use the buttons available on the lock screen to interact.

Am i picking you up wrong or is this what you are describing?

You really dont want the screen on the whole time as its a major battery drain.

You can customise the buttons or shortcuts shown in the lock screen and the default music player should have itself displayed within the lockscreen also with which you can pause, skip forward and back.
 
Seems like I didnt explain it so clearly
Instead of when i press the power button that would usually bring me to the unlock screen so i could swipe to open
When i hit the power button its stay black and i have to press the button about 6/7times just to get me to the unlock screen
 
Ah ok gotcha.

Is there alot of applications running in the background that may be slowing down the overall performance of the phone?

Go to settings, applications, manage applications and select running.

See if there is anything their you can disable or uninstall.

Could be possible also that the power button is damaged?

Great peice of equipment, but unfortunately none of thos worked seems like i must be a hardware issue afterall
Thanks for the help anyways
 
A good way to test if it's software or hardware, attempt to turn your screen off in the first 2 minutes of restarting your phone while in airplane mode. This means some apps aren't functioning and data isn't taking up the CPU.
 
You might wanna try doing a factory reset. To me it sounds like it might be the power button that is faulty.
 
Sorry lads forgot all about this, problem still hasn't went away just grew acustomed to it done everything said above, even resorted to putting the phone in a packet of rice :L :L
Just looks like a motherboard issue, so might just get the new Samsung Galaxy s3
