I've had that issue but I reckon its not SOD. SOD is when your phone just won't light up after locking it. Home key, power button, nothing would help and you have to restart it in order to get it work again.

I used to. I think I was on stock ICS maybe. It would slowly glow whiter and whiter. Then when I press the power button a couple of times, it would get normal.

try to factory reset or install other rom. if it continues, then you have problem with your screen. you should bring it to samsung customer care.

Probably your hardware is damaged. Send it off for repair. I am almost sure it is a hardware problem

if the led still lightning and vibration maybe you have hardware issue..
or take you phone battery off and wait till 5 minutes and take it on again
if this not helping your hardware must be damaged

[Q] Issue with screen blanking out

Hi Everyone,
I recently changed the LCD screen in my Galaxy Ace. When I turn the phone on the screen lights up, I can touch it, and use it as normal. However at random the screen will not light up. I can tell that the phone is on because the menu buttons light up - however no matter what I do I can't get the screen to go. I can press the power button on and off, and the screen still doesn't light up.
The only way to get the screen back is to remove the battery and then put it back in, and power up the phone.
If anybody has any advice on how to fix this issue it will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
F1 Lover
Screw the Samsung Service Centre !
Even I had the same problem after I changed my LCD Screen.
But in my case it was very Rare,
Just go the service centre with you bill and tell them.
They will surely do something about it

Same problem here! BUT It only appears on Customroms. Nothing similar in LG ROMs. Even Miui-Gingerbread didnt had that but CM.
So I guess its not an hardware issue.
I had this too...and it only occurs when i'm using custom rom too...the only solution is to turn off the screen and turn it on again

Mee, too, Had this when using custom kernel wel almost stock ics rom. Some flashes futher (now on PA with Kowalski ) the problem has disappeared, so there is a software component in this bug.....

Screen randomly glows when screen is switched off

Hey on my Xperia Z stock rom nothing flashed, when it is in standby (screen off) randomly the screen glows and does not stop, like the screen is still off but it's like the back light has come on? is this normal? seems to be a power wasting thing to me. unless i look at it from a slight angel (during the day) i can not actually tell it's on, i'm assuming this is why my screen is using 60+% of my battery is there a fix for this?
Are you using any power saving mode?

Stamina mode.
I have the exact same thing happen, and it is definitely a pain as like you say you can only notice it when looking at an angle, and as I have a flip case on mine I only notice while charging. It is just a case of pressing the power button twice to turn off but that is obviously only when you notice it's doing it! lol
I use stamina mode on mine (which is great) but not sure if this is anything to do with the backlight being left on as it only does it sometimes?
I had this issue when i first got my phone ,and not anymore.Not sure how it solved cause i did lot of factory reset and flashing firmwares.
Are you using light flow or any third party apps?
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
I get this too. I get it when it's locked and it comes back on. Also when I unlock the screen sometimes this happens and I have to turn the screen off and on again to fix it.
Happening here also but not often. I thought it was low battery mode but happens when it's disabled as well.

No i'm not using any third party light apps, seems like this may be an actual bug if multiple people are experiencing it
I have only done one reset/repair to fix the LED notification light bug.
Hope this helps
I know how to fix this. I have an xperia z1 so im not sure if my problem is the same but i use my phone as an alarm so i notice at night the screen is glowing while its standby. If you go to settings or maybe you have it in quick settings go to brightness and deactivate "adapt to lighting conditions" then it should be a black screen woth no glow in standby mode

[Q] Screen won't switch on and neither will the charging led

Hi guys,
My mobile phone seems to have a not working screen. The weird thing is that the backlights work and I can connect via adb, but the screen and the charging led will not.
Do you think it could be because of a faulty or not connected wire? I want to make sure that changing the screen would solve the problem before buying one.
Thanks!
Update: I just noticed that the screen is on but extremely dim. It´s not possible to see anything at all.
Could be LED backlight
Does moto logo show, when rebooting?

Yes, the mobile works normally. It's just that the charging led (the one on top of the screen) won't work and the screen is extremely dark. It's almost impossible to see anything unless you are in a room with just a little light.
The brightness is set to 100%. It's probable a faulty screen or a loose connection but I would like to find a way to know if that's the case

That was not what I was asking, is the moto logo as bright as it should be when rebooting?

ah sorry. I see what you mean. No, the screen is always so dim that it's really hard to know if the mobile is rebooting.

so it's not a screen setting or bad app, and not likely a software issue.
It could be a bad screen LCD connection, but guessing the LCD screen needs to be replaced.
can buy a new LCD for about $30 on ebay, but maybe more trouble that it's worth

could have someone else fix it

or it's time for a new phone
I will try to fix it myself. The price of getting a new one will be similar to the price of sending it to repair so that would make no sense.
Thank you very much, sd_shadow
