this is the second day of my bionic. I've been having issues with the screen timeout not working. my phone screen will stay on until i push the power button, Any ideas?
I had that happen to me as well, but only once. A reboot fixed it and I haven't seen it since.
i'll try it
Was having same problem here along with a few others, such as led blinking on restart, and docks not always working correctly. Just exchanged for new bionic and everything seems better with this one. It even had a different wallpaper installed on it right out of box. I thought that was interesting.

Please, any input is useful. ):
I just bought a nexus one the other day, and i think I was scammed. THe power button works fine, but occasionally, the screen would get super dim. It doesn't black out because I can faintly see all of the icons and menus, and I can tap them. ALso, its not automatic brightness, because its horribly horribly hard to see. Pulling the battery (sometimes) fixes this problem.
I'm currently running Kang-o-rama with SP2.
Has this ever happened to anyone? If so, how did you fix it?
It does sound its the auto brightness. If you're outside and its dims it is very hard to see. You the default android power widget to test it. It has brightness toggle on it. Full /auto/dim/ and basically the middle.
I'll take a picture of it once my dad comes home, but I tested it last night if it was autobrightness.
I waited for it to dim, then went into settings, disabled autobrightness, and put the brightness all the way up. It was still super dim, and didn't return to normal until I pulled the battery.
I would look for support in the thread for that rom. Or flash another rom. Sounds like it is just a bug in your rom.
I just installed a Miui rom hoping it'll fix it (cause I was using cm7 based roms) and it worked for a while.
Now it began to Flicker and finally turned off. It'll ring when phones call it but nothing will show on the screen. I'll pull the battery but this time nothing shows up (though it vibrates indicating it turns on).
I know this is a hardware problem now, do you guys know what part it is?
Please, any input is appreciated.

Is anyone else having this issue as well I can get rid of it I've tried everything to what happens is sometimes when my phone is asleep tonight wake it up it's completely unresponsive, the screen turns on but I can't do anything other than hit the power button on and off and volume other than that I am stuck on the same screen. Also when I wake up in the morning after charging my phone overnight it is always frozen like this but even worse when it has been more than a few hours. Could this be related to using an alternative home? I have used both launcher pro and adw with the same results. I have never had this with any of my other android phones. Any ideas?

Take it to Verizon and get a switchout.
Before I do that I would like to make sure that it isn't software based otherwise I will just run into the same issue.

I haven't experienced that issue, but something similar. About once every 2 days my phone won't wake at all. The notification light seems to be working, but pressing the power/lock button doesn't wake the phone, screen stays black and I have to pull the battery. If I call the phone while it's in this state, nothing happens on the Bionic's side, but the phone I calling from hears 4 rings before going to voicemail. I've uninstalled Widget Locker and Home Switcher to see if either of them are the culprit.
awesome, thanks
I would do a factory rest and see if it was a software problem first.

Do you have in pocket detection on under settings? Try turning that off. I was having major issues like that when I was using that setting.

Good advice, the pocket sensor on this phone is borked.

Of course, this is about the Droid 3. Mine has had LauncherPro since day one.
I ran into an odd problem, and repeated it on another Droid 3, even with the new system update. I'm getting a random black screen whenever I turn the screen on from being off. It could be a few seconds, could be minutes, hours, or whenever. Slightly moving the "home screen" left or right allows it to show up.
The bottom task bar is unaffected. Any ideas on how/why this would be happening or how to fix it? I've tried various homescreen and behavior settings in LPro, but nothing has solved it.
Thanks,
yes i have this to, I think it is a gingerbread thing, cause I never had this problem on my D2, until after the gingerbread update, I also have this problem on my D3 as well.
Same here

I have this problem too but only when I exit an app.

Same sort of
I also have the dread blank screen (though it's not black, I can see the wallpaper) after exiting apps, especially camera apps, or web apps (e.g.Opera). Sometimes the homescreen stuff does flash on and off, once or more - sometimes bunches. Found that rebooting seems to restabilize things, but it is becoming more annoying over time.
Anyone out there got solution?
I usually just swipe to another home screen. That fixes it (temporarily).
the only time i have this issue is when i first turn the phone on. everything boots up, i swipe the unlock screen and get the black screen with the launcher and everything below in tact. i shift the screen a little to get it to show up and i dont see it again until the next reboot. i never see the issue while switching apps or anything like that. i have arctic grey theme if that says anything to the issue, tho it never really bothered me that much. i could see it getting annoying if it happened all the time.
As the title says. When I lock the screen using the power button I get about a 1.5 second lag between when thr button is pressed and the screen goes off. This doesn't happen every time. Any ideas? Also my transitions to .5 keeps resetting itself back to 1! So frustrating
I experience exactly the same lagging while locking the phone. A fix to this solution would be much appreciated! Thank you...
I have the same issues, even when all the fancy settings (watercolor and sounds) are turned off it still lags.

I had that issue as well for a little bit, but it seems to have went away by itself for me.
I had some of the same issues but I noticed when i rooted and did a full wipe of the phone a lot of these small issues went away. One that bothered me was screen rotate. It would take about 2-3 sec to switch.

Same issue here. Although there was at least one instance that i locked the device and it made the lock sound play, but the screen remained on for well over 5-10 seconds. Weird. Might be related to the new packet mode thing this phone has where it uses little power to deliver messages while the screen is off. I forgot the name of it.
I have figured out that if you disable multiple widget lockscreen it makes it turn on/off faster.
I am now experiencing this! When I was rooted on m1 I never had this problem but now that I'm on mj5 rooted it lags horribly on the lockscreen..... But not all the time only every once in a while! Has anyone figured out a fix? I'm contemplating a factory reset!

My HD (running 10.1.3 stable) has just started behaving strangely when I wake it up from sleep. The screen will flash then go black. Whether I push the Nook button or the power button, the same thing happens. It may do it 2 or 3 times before it comes on. Started doing this yesterday. Just now, it would not come on at all. I see the screen for a half second, then it goes black. Just wondering if it's already toast or if this is a known problem with a remedy.
Probably software issue.
If your using a magnetic case (problem)
You could try disabling the lockscreen if its enabled.
Daydream could in my theory affect that time frame.
The backlight should last years longer. The gpu should as well. I can't think of any other hardware issue.
If you have an sdcard try cm11 [or the bn rom] and see what happens. OR full backup of current rom in cwm and flash cm11 to internal. Clean and restore 10.1.3 and be back to right where you left off.

Yes I have the same flickering issues when trying to wake it up from sleep. I would have to press either button numerous times to get it to stay on and not black out. I'm on the same 10.1.3 stable. I am using a magnetic case but it happens without it. Before this happen, my slide to unlock screen would act up by not unlocking when I slide to unlock; it would just go back to the initial lock screen. Slide to unlock would not work so I turn off the lockscreen, now experiencing blackout screens when I try to wake it up by pressing either buttons. This problem happens infrequently but it is annoying.

I learned from another post that if it does not awaken when the magnetic case is opened the first time, close and open it again. This works for me 95% of the time. Sometimes there's 2 or 3 second lag but it almost always comes on.

Works like this on my HD+, too. Sometimes requires opening case cover twice, but the screen always comes on.
