[Q] Screen goes black when watching movies - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since .245 my screen goes black when watching movies. Screen doesn't time out but just goes black. As soon as I touch the screen the video comes back.
Already reinstalled ROM but problem stays.
Tried different video players but no difference.
Tried screen forced on apps but doesn't work since screen doesn't time out but just goes black.
Any ideas?

Same issue. But in my case.. the Front Camera is also affected.

Just checked and same here with the front camera. Annoying!

Did you use the pre-rooted kernel from Alivanov?
AFAIK, there was a fix released for the same

Yes, mine does that.
Yes disappears on video playback, and on some landscape oriented games - they're unobtrusive when they need to be.

Sony Z - video - Camera Zoom Stutter/Judder

When I'm recording some fairly high speed 1080 video on my projector screen (say if I record a replay from my PS3 game F1 2012) the Sony Z camera Zoom seems to focus, refocus, focus, refocus all the bl00dy time. As a result the video ends up either a) blurry, or b) is filled with stutter/juddering crap...
Is there any way to fix this?????????????
I had it on 434 firmware, and still exists on the 253..
Change the focus mode ?

I wonder why the Sony Z needs the room well lit? My Projector is ultra bright and I'm close to the screen.
I changed the focus mode from face detect to fixed point and still does it..
None of my previous phones (HTC One X, iPhone 4S, SGS3, or Razr HD have done this.. Seems very strange IMO.
I'll post up a video on youtube tonight to demonstrate what is happening

Black screen

Sometimes when I open an app or close it or do something similar my screen turns black. It has a backlight on but its a black screen. I can only solve this by locking the phone and then unlocking it again. Also sometimes when I try and install an app from the market, my screen goes black and it reboots from the Xperia logo.
Any ideas, btw my phone is rooted correctly so that is not causing the problems

What rom are you using?
Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk 2
I'm on stock rom 2.254
Facing the same problem too. I'd have to press the power button twice to get the screen to turn on again after the call.
Got my face off the proximity sensor and yet my screen remain blank.
Symptom is quite similar with the screen on button issue where one has to press the power button 3 times to get the screen to show up from sleep.
I guess we just have to wait/hope for sony to resolve em..
I use existens roms . but when i use another rom i have same problem .
Yeah duckchrno i have same problem with u . Ok thx for your suggestion
I hope sony to resolve soon too

I am on stock 2.254 and this never happened to me untill yesterday once. Today it happened again after one call. It does not happen on all the calls. It's totally random , just like the wake-up bug or whatever it's called. I tried to reproduce it but I was not able.
Yeah, we're same bro . This happened random ( i think ) coz . Yesterday i call someone and this not happen ..

[Q] How to disable DLS?

Is there a way to disable DLS on .257? I hate they removed an option to disable it from regular display settings. I don't want darker images to appear even darker on my display. I hated DLS on Xperia T I had, and I definitely hate it even more now.

I am reflashing back to the original .534 firmware just to uncheck that stupid box and then upgrade to see if it stays un checked.
If it isnt, then ill flash back and use the old firmware until they fix it.
That won't solve this crap. Don't bother.

damn it, jus tried flashing the .534 and .531 for some reason i could turn that **** off, but after a few reboots the thing just stayed blank after passing the Sony screen. gonna just updated to current and return this ****.
THe xperia Z was old but still better, at least i could disable it.
This **** is nice, feels nice, almost everything works. I just need this option disabled and a proper panoramic.
