I have only had it for 2 days. It was fine the first two days. Just now, after 10 seconds it goes black, to sleep mode. i have to press the power key to get it back on. I do not have any of the boxes checked for it to go to sleep on it's own. I don't know why it's all of the sudden started doing this. Can anyone shed some light for me?? TIA.
nevermind.. I didn't see the threads below mine. I'll read more! I may have fixed it.

The screen keeps blinking back to full brightness, every 30 seconds or so, when it is left alone and the screen dims normally. It is as if something is pressing a button or touching the screen.
When I press the power button and send it to suspend mode, the backlight goes off, and the tilt no longer responds to touch or button pressing. For some reason it pops itself out of suspend and turns back on every couple minutes. My battery life is going down extremely fast. 100% to 40% in three hours.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched the forum but never found a specific topic for this issue.

I have the same problem w
th the backlight comming on by itself & battery life depletes extremely fast. I am using HD 15 Nov with 3.29.
In addition to backlight issue my hardware keys are no longer working.
Please has anyone got any advice
i have the same problem. the only thing that seems to work is doing the keypad lock and putting it to sleep. it will occasionally blink like its trying to come back on but doesnt. another thing i did is put my phone in flight mode, locking the keypad and putting it to sleep. when i do that it doesnt blink or anything. sadly i wont receive phone calls or emails and texts. i think the blinking has something to do with phone signal and accessing the networks.
hth
also i noticed that it wakes from sleep when the keypad "unlock" screen pops up.
i think i found a fix
Ok I hope this helps for you because it seems to work for me. I first went to start/settings/sounds & notifications. Then I clicked on the notification tab and unchecked everything leaving only the ringer on for when calls come in. when I did that, for about 5 minutes (longest I tested it at) the phone did not turn on and the backlight didn’t do that weird grayish flash thing. Afterwords I at first was going to go down the list of all notifications and turn things on/off to see what wakes up my phone but i got too lazy and only checked one setting. One thing I noticed is that when I have the beam: autorecieved notification turned on for display a message on the screen I get that weird backlight flickering thing. So for now I just have sound alerts on when I receive any type of messages and a sound alert for reminders. So far so good, my phone hasn’t woken from sleep in 20 minutes.
all,I am using CM 4.1.11.1 with Community Hero Theme.
I know the reason for draining my battery but I don't know how to solve it, can any one help?
issue:
When you press phone END button to keep th ephone in SLEEP mode,
- Phone goes to SLEEP mode and the Screen light is OFF.
- But, the Light on Physical keyboard is not switched off some times.
To see this, Get into a dark room and press END button to keep the phone in SLEEP mode.
Once the Phone is in SLEEP Mode,Do not Slide your Keyboard, Keep as it is and observe the Light from space between Slider and keyboard.
(I observed while I was sleeping..my phone was off but there was some light coming out)
I think this is not happening all the times but I have seen it many times and it is draining my battery.
To solve this, I use to open the Slider Press END button and make sure the lights or OFF and close the Slider.
Has any one observed this? can any one tell me how to solve this?
Is there a way to disable and enable the back light of Keyboard?

i understand that you are using your phone alot, as most all of us do, but how many times do you open and close your phone that this is a problem?
i usually close the keyboard, press home, press end and all lights shut off. hope this helps.
palosjr, yes I do the same. But as I said it doesn't happen all the time.
Also, it happens only with CM 4.1.11.1. I am not sure what ROM u have.
search market for backlight off. I have a bronze G1 and I prefer the kb backlight never come on at all so I use this.
Thanks man.
Finger....thanks a lot dude.
I was exactly looking for the same....
I really appreciate your info.
Here is the exact app name.... "backlight off"
(moved from wrong forum to right one!)
Here's a silly question,
How do I tell if the N1 is off? Without turning it on?
There have been several times where I've turned it off for the night (force of habit), and later couldn't remember whether or not I had in fact turned it off...
Of course hitting the power button only turns it on if it was in fact off... meaning that I have to wait a whole boot cycle before shutting it down again.
From the thread in the other forum:
Hitting the volume keys doesn't seem to do anything when the phone is sleeping, i.e. it doesn't wake the screen up.
I like the idea of the trackball on wake thing except that it will probably wake the phone up a lot when it's in my back pocket.
any other tips?
v.
Trackballwake is the only way i can think. I used it on Cyanogenmod, and i didnt seem to have a problem constantly waking the phone in my pocket. Give it a shot, if it does cause a nuisance, back to square one.
had something odd happen to my phone on the weekend. I pressed the power button (to wake it up) so I could quickly see the time and temp and I put it down, came back to it 3 hours later and the screen was still on.... (on the locked screen)
I unlocked it and locked it again and it wouldn't turn off the screen without me hitting the power button to do it
This happened last night as well and I noticed that it dimed the screen and stayed on when sometimes I see it dim then turn off a second later. Rebooting it makes it go back to the usual turning off after 10 or so seconds
I posted this on the aussie Whirlpool forms and someone else has said they have seen the same thing happen
sorry should have put in that I am on the 4.2.2 update on the Australian unbranded handset

Try going to Settings -> Display -> Sleep and then selecting your preference, that solved it for me. It seems that sometimes this setting doesnt get recognized, so you have to select it again.
When going to bed tonight do these steps.
1. Put your phones brightness display on the lowest setting
2. Plug your phone in for an overnight charge, do not "turn off" your phone.
3. Wake up in the morning
4. Click the power button on your HTC ONE M7
Did the screen turn on? Are the Soft Keys the only part that lights up?
I've been able to replicate this problem over and over on 3-4 different HTC ONE M7's. For some reason the phone's display will not turn on in the morning. The only way to get it to is to either hold down the power button for a few seconds and the restart screen will pop-up which activates the screen again. Or, to do a complete restart.
Eventually the screen starts working again like normal after fiddling with it for 15-20 minutes...
I believe this is either a KitKat problem or light sensor problem or both. I do know this issue was never around before the KitKat upgrade months back.

I#ve never run across that problem but I know when I enable "ScreenOn" the screen stays on all night and if I just let my phone sit with screen on (because I fell asleep texting ) the screen will be off in the morning.

with my phone its just a 5 second lag sometimes, and i click the power button again to make sure i clicked it and it instead locks itself back. The third click however, everything works fine.
this has been happening to me for the longest its very irritating, i notice it happens whenever i fall asleep, a nap during the day or when i wake up in the morning its really annoying
Well glad to see I'm not the only one.
I have provided this thread link to HTC and reported the problem. Requested that they chime in if they have any questions.

Yes I had the same issue as the original post.Long story short I ended up sending the device back. The new one didn't suffer from this problem. This was back in October of 2013.
Same issues, it's probably light sensor:

Nope. I already tried the light sensor calibration trick. It didn't work unfortunately. I ended up swapping out 4-5 HTC ONE's before it worked correctly.
yup, I tried the trick as well a few more times and could not wake the screen either. generally I'm tolerant of stuff like this because I assume it is the byproduct of repeated flashing and combo of mods.. but I I recall this happening quite early on in ownership and now it's back. (was AOSP now Sense base). sigh
