Another bug what causes Black screen.

If you have attached sticker or something at top/reft of screen,
It would occur Black screen.
I want to call it "Illuminance sensor bug".
O2x has screen-off function to reduce battery drain while calling.
But screen couldn't be waken if illuminance sensor was turning off after calling.
You may have thought it was BSOD.
The solution is very simple.
Remove sticker or do out battery.
I recommend first way and It is not exactly bug.
PS: This only applies to sticker above illuminance sensor.
i dont see any sticker...
can you take a pic?

Hem... why do you want to apply a sticker on your phone?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
it's called a proximity sensor, its doing the job it is supposed to not a bug, no one with the knowledge about "proximity sensor" would put a sticker on it
Some ppls attach sticker on phone to decorate
and dosen't know about proximity sensor.

Who knows, they might not know that there is a proximity sensor...or it really exist, happens alot and I really don't know if you're on drugs or a sticker freak putting stickers on the front side of the phone. I would understand if its a screen protector but a sticker?

I guess sticker only, but a proximity sensor responds to a thin transparent tape like screen protector.
You can check this at Hidden menu/Device test/ ALC/Proximity Test.
Yeah mine does respond even with a screen protector, sometimes it would dim, but little cleaning and its ok.
thus is funny

NFC sticker

My NFC sticker became scratchy and ugly.I was thinking of removing it.
Anyone did this?
Sent from my C6603
I took mine off straight away, I dont think it has a use other than letting you know it has nfc. It came off pretty easy. Pretty much fell off.

I think Sony should have etched the NFC logo in the same way as the Xperia logo...

Thanks for the tip. The sticker became ugly after only 2 days. Nice to read that I could take it off. The back looks a lot better without.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
I really don't understand why sony puts those ugly stickers on the back. Ok, it has NFC, we got it
Maybe they thought it was too damn sexy without those?
I think it's better then embedding the nfc logo into the phone.

Same reason why every company thinks it's necessary to put all those stickers on laptops in front of the keyboard... Very annoying for sure!

+10, yep I though this had something to do with the workings of NFC, because it is hardly a sticker . When and if I remove the rear screen protector I will remove it.

No. The NFC unit is built into the phone, removing the sticker doesn't cause any problems.

Yes you are right! NFC has a pretty low range than Bluetooth and placing it at the right spot should trigger the beam, slight movements can cause connection termination (i mean even a slight movement) so it's appropriate to show people where the chip is actually placed so you need not touch everywhere and see. That's what for the sticker is and after you know where it's placed, you can remove it safely.. I did too, no probs in that!

I'm glad they didn't, the NFC logo is one of the worst logos ever. I would have been very unhappy if I couldn't remove it
Hahaha wtf, for about 2 months I used to think that the NFC sticker on the back was the actual NFC chip and I was panicking because it kept getting scratched, then just about 5 minutes ago it sort of moved to an angle and I was like 'wtf, pretty sure a chip isn't meant to move like that'. Then I knocked it with my nail and it just fell off. Now I feel like an idiot haha, for the whole time I was doing the best I could to take care of it, now I've realized I've spent 2 months looking after a sticker...

Meid sticker

I did..makes Sprints job to easy!
It's just there to make sure that it matches the box/is the right one. It's not on other phones like that because there's always been a place to hide it eg. behind the battery

Honestly as I tech I'd prefer you not remove it... without it, it makes it alot harder for us to verify that its the correct device. Actually it would be impossible to verify the device aside from them ICCID on the sim. May cause trouble if you have TEP so I'd personally refrain from removing it.
Thank you guys! Much appriciate the responses.

Going into the settings to retrieve it is not hard and far from impossible.
The sticker will eventually fall off and the ink begins to wear anyway.

Was speaking more along the lines of the device won't turn on and there is no way to read from software when I said it could cause problems.

Ah yes, in that case it would prove helpful. With that said, I would still recommend taking the sticker off and keeping it in a safe place as the ink does wear, etc.
That information is also included with the box... unless you purchase your phone used or already open that information thats on the box should match the one from the phone.
I removed mine and stuck it inside the box. I kept my receipt inside as well. Should be safe in there just in case you will ever need it.

He's a sprint tech so he wouldn't know that.
I was going to keep mine on until I was sure I was going to keep my phone. Within two days of use all the text was worn off and so I just took it off.

My main concern was just if the phone is totally fckd and won't power on, screen burnt out, cant charge, etc, there is no way to confirm that device is the device on your account if you remove the sticker. If we send back the wrong ESN to Sprint, they'll charge anywhere from $180-350 against our tech centers profit so obviously being able to confirm that it is the actual device on the account is an important thing to me. Now based of what everyone is saying about it rubbing off, I think when I get mine I'll personally just remove the sticker and put it on my box so I don't loose it, that way if I ever have to exchange it I can just stick it back on and have 0 worries.

That same number is on your box. When have you ever needed that number after activation? Just stop it.

Seems like something is inside my phone

Took a picture earlier and I noticed there is something odd looking towards the top part of any pictures I take. Even shows up when I have the camera up.
Time for warranty I suppose.

Get it replaced. Seems like an issue with the magic eye of the lens. It's probably damaged or a dirt got inside your phone and made it's way to the eye.
Or could you try to lightly tap the phone in your palm? It might get off the eye also but of course it's still there inside so kinda annoying.

I do, but they are doing a warranty exchange. Should have the new one tomorrow.

Just got my One back from repair.

So I just got my phone back from repair for a broken screen. The repair totaled 189.99. I was however quite surprised that they seemed to replace the entire outer body of the phone. The back was scratched and the speaker bezels had a few nicks in them. All was replaced and my phone now actually has the magical zero gap shiz they talk about. I know its still my phone cause the serial is the same and it came back with ViperRom still on it. Just wanted to share my experience.

Just wonder if they put a new shell on it because they messed it up taking the old one off? Good deal though, you got your screen fixed and new shell.

I sent my phone to Houston, TX and it came back with scratches on the back and a bad power button. The gap was worsened.
Still my phone, probably a new back though.
