So I get this with some roms and not others, but in some instances when I press the side button to turn off the screen, it turns off for a split second them turns on again without the lock screen on.
For instance after ending a call I manually turn off the screen so I can put the phone right back in my pocket, but the screen just comes back on. Why does this happen? And how can I fix it other then change the rom to one that doesn't do it. Thanks

I've never had this issue but You said it happens on some roms and not others right? Why not just Flash a rom you know that doesn't happen with?

because that's not in the spirit of modding the phone imho, you know, trying new things, working the kinks out, etc.

recently my screen has stopped locking when i stop using the phone. if i press the power button, it will go black and will lock. if i use the phone (call, message, anything) and just put it down, the screen dims slightly but does not go black or lock, i just have to touch the screen and it brightens. i have tried setting the screen timeout for different lengths of time, but that didn't help. any ideas?
another example is when the alarm goes off in the morning, i will snooze and have to press the power button to get the screen to go black.
thanks!
oh, i'm running a stock captivate.
Are you using the app "No-LED"?

Well I'm not sure how technical you are, but you may want to reflash your phone.
The right side of my Vivid's screen is notably darker than the left and the of the 4 buttons on the bottom of the screen, only the home button appears to be at the brightness it should be at. The rest are all super dim or off. When I turn my vivid off, the screen is off, but the button lights are still on. The 4 buttons also work. Ive tried taking out the battery and putting it back in numerous amount of times and restarting it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Well, try flashing another rom, or downloading and flashing the RUU. or send in to ATT for warranty repair if still applicable.
Dont Forget to Hit Thanks!!

thanks for responding
Well the problem with that is that I've never had a custom rom or an unlocked bootloader and I cant get a warranty repiar.... Do you have any other suggestions?

You can still run an RUU if you've never unlocked. Turn USB debugging on, put the phone in Charge only mode, run the correct RUU (Gingerbread if you're on Gingerbread, ICS if you're on ICS)
However this sounds like hardware to me

i agree. you might be screwed here
I would think something got messed up and its making it do that. Try flashing an RUU or custom ROM like they said. Hopefully its not the actual screen if it is just replace it
Hello, this is my first post and first problem. I have a htc one on viper rom and when I end a call the screen is blank and the phone is locked but I cannot get the screen to turn on to unlock the phone. If I try to reboot or boot into recovery then the flash light turns on and off but it never reboots (after like 5 mins). I can still hear notifications and rings and the led and buttons light up for notifications but the screen will not turn on. Since I cannot reboot I have to wait for my battery to completely die and ten reboot the phone and it works. Someone please help I can't have my phone being out of commision several hours a day because of this and I really like viper rom over the others I have tried. Thanks.
So this happens often?
At least once a day depending on how much battery I have the first time it happens and how long it takes my battery to discharge. I just changed to the stock Android kernel. Maybe this will make a difference.

Well, can you try to flash another rom and test if the issue persists?
Sounds like a hardware issue imo...if its a rom related issue, there should me more complaints in our thread. You are the first one mention this.

I have the same bug.
I'm not sure,but it happens sometimes when after a call ending I press the power button before or right after the screen wakes up.
There should be something with the light and/or with the proximity sensor, because reseting the device is only performable at high lights.

Fixed.......
I finally fixed the bug on mine. It must have had something to do with the Venom Red Theme 2. After using a recovery to before I installed the theme it didn't happen again and I also flashed the theme again using TWRP and wiped davlink, etc.... After doing so I have the theme working and haven't had the bug since the day following my first post. Think I may have went to the theme in venom hub and hit install and not realized it. At least that's my opinion but I still don't know why it would cause that sort of response from my phone. Try this if you haven't. Good luck...

Hey guys, im having a bit of a problem. My phone is shuting off on itself.
Everytime i turn it on, it boots up no problem, but when i hit the power button to turn the screen off, when i want to turn the screen on again by pressing the power button, the screen just goes deep blue, and turns off.
I haven't change anything on it for quite a few months now, so i'm not sure why this is happening. Im on Viper 3.5 i think or 3.7, using faux123 kernel, dont remember which version, but an old one with which i never had any troubles... rooted, s-on
Any ideas?
Thanks!

PD: Logcat in the .rar file...was too big for .txt
Really?? No one??
Well, just for further info... my phone appeared to fix itself, since it stopped doing that weird thing for a couple of days, but now is back... nothing ever changed, no new apps, or settings or anything...
Any ideas welcome
Edit: Attaching new logcats...

I think your power button is broken (or you may have a related hardware issue). Nothing but a root app can reboot the phone, and I've never seen that happen by accident.

Yeah, i thought about it being hardware but something is off... i mean, if it where the power button, then i shouldnt be able to turn it on easily, or it wouldnt turn off the screen properly, nor would it just start working alright for a couple of days... plus, it didnt recieve any hits or anything during, before or after the problem.
I also thought it could be the screen, but when its on, it works perfectly, as on the first day...
But yeah, I'm not taking hardware problem out of the table...just seems unlikely to me...
Thanks for your answer!

Edit: also, I just found out it doesnt actually restart...screen just turns dark blue, then it powers the screen off and it wont turn on when pressing power... but i know its on, because i can still hear notification sounds of incoming messages...
Edit2: Just tried same but instead of using power button, i used logo2sleep and home2wake kernel options, and did the on/off with them, and same result...dark blue screen then off and not turning on... so it cant be power button
An issue I've had with a few roms I've used in the recent past. Currently on Mourta's Liquid Smooth rom (KK). Sorry if this question has been asked before, I wasn't able to find any info.
Sometimes after turning the screen off, if I try to turn in back on, it won't. Trying to unlock the screen makes the hardware button's backlight light up, for a few seconds like normal, but the screen never turns on till I hard reboot the phone. The rest of the phone doesn't seem to freeze up. For example, music doesn't chop up, I still receive calls, and holding the power button gives me the vibrate signal that the power menu has opened.
I've re flashed the rom a couple of times, but I still get this problem on some level. Even if I leave the phone undisturbed for a long time and come back to it, the screen won't turn on till I reboot. Not sure if this is true, but I think the problem also happens if I try to unlock the phone too quick after locking it. Thoughts?
Already know problem on some roms it is called Screen of death sometimes happends because of low screen cpu freq sometimes because rom just go nuts.

I wanted to know if this particular problem had a name. Screen of death sounds apt. I wouldn't mind having to reboot a couple of times, but this problem has me rebooting well as much as 6 times a day
Lets call it Greg then. Flesh another rom and try it. Cm for example.
