Launcher Pro black screen on D3

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.

[Q] Scrolls down, turns on wifi, scrolls up, on it's own.

My wife galaxy note has a habit to turns on wifi on it's own.
Sometimes it's just a flicker on the screen (which makes the whole screen hang, but pen still works)
Other times , but rarely, you will see it scroll down, turns on wifi, scroll back up. It will scan for wifi if none is available, then pretend like nothing happened.
I don't know if this is a bug or a feature in Android, or worse , one of the angry bird space got installed with malicious code (free from Play Store)
Phone is unrooted, no sd card.
Once I got the top left app that I tried to move (voice recorder) went crazy, switching from screen to screen and vibrating in it's spot after I hold my finger there for a few seconds.
Mate I'd to a full wipe of that asap, sounds dodgy as hell. Then when you come to reinstalling apps etc, double check they're from reputable sources.
Either that or your note has become self aware, in which case, congratulations, it had to happen sooner or later

I've finally found the issue is related to loose screen on the top left. Slightly pressing the top left will cause the screen to freeze/scrolls down etc.

skyscanner app makes screen flicker

Can anybody suggest what is going on here?
I have found that if I install the Skyscanner flight app (which is very good for flight searches), then the screen starts to flicker and jitter. Once the flickering starts, then it happens everywhere, and only stops after a full reboot (it seems that a software reboot isn't enough to clear it).
The flickering starts as slight jittering, often jumping to the right a little - it's as though the screen loses sync. Then, there is colour flicker, and sometimes coloured pixels are left behind at the bottom of the screen.
I have tried this on two different stock ROM Droid 4s, and both exhibit the behaviour.
Does anybody know what's going on, and if there is a fix/solution?
I noticed this after opening snap chat once, running cm 10.2
Reboot was all that worked here but it has stopped since an update to the app came out. Not sure if that is really what did it though.

[Q] Weird screen in dimmed mode

Hello, I've had my watch for a week now and something is starting to annoy me. The screen is perfectly fine but when the watch goes in dimmed mode, the screen turns the image into a bad quality one (maybe to prevent burn-in?) but that's the the annoying part, the problem is that two part of the screen are darker in dimmed mode (top left and top right) so any watchfaces that I put look out of place.
I tried taking a picture of it but I can't get it to show exactly what I see. http://imgur.com/A20sLRb (I used a white face to display it better. The dark spots look bigger and darker in person)
Does it happen to some of you?
Whoa. I've never seen anything like that on my screen. Did you sand down the watch? After only a week? Looks pretty cool. I would tell you to try and return the watch if it's just a week old but I guess that's out of the question now.

Yeah I bought it because I saw you could sand it. I didn't like the mat black finish.
After using the same watchface for some time and going back to the white one to test the screen, I can see new dark spots corresponding to the watchface I used. So it is probably screen burn-in, but why would it only show when in dimmed mode? That's pretty weird.

Notification sound cut off, now screen won't turn on

Since updating to marshmallow, my longer notification sounds, especially Calendar Snooze, are cut off.
I read somewhere about an app setting to allow it to turn the screen on as a fix. I did that but now I can't remember what app I made the change in or where I read that suggestion. I thought it might have been Light Flow, but I can't find it in there.
Now my power button fails to wake up the screen the majority of the time. Sometimes the lock screen will flash for a fraction of a second and go black again. Usually it takes 6-10 tries before the screen finally stays on so I can use my phone.
Since the wake up problem started when I tried to fix the notification sound, I'm pretty sure they're related. Any ideas?

if youre using lightflow id suggest wiping the data in it and resetting your notification settings. it does tend to override the system so i can see that screwing with the duration of the notification, and starting fresh usually solves most problems
i have mine set to wake the screen for SMS but not MMS. it creates similar problems with the screen
Thanks for the info. I tried just toggling the screen on settings on and back off for all of the Light Flow apps, and it seems to have fixed my screen turn on problem, at least for now.

I'm having the same notification sound cut short problem, I have a nexus 7 wifi 2013 model running Mohamed rom v2.1
Whenever anyone calls me on google hangouts, the ring only lasts for a second before its cut off, this doesn't happen if the front cover is open, it happens only when its closed.
I didn't have this problem on kitkat, but on MM this problem started from day 1.
I don't see any light flow option anywhere.
Any suggestions to fix this will be very appreciated.
Thanks.

LightFlow fixed my screen problems, but it was just a coincidence that I installed Marshmallow and my sounds got cut off around the same time. I'm still looking for a solution to that issue. Similar to you, if my screen is on, the notification sounds work correctly. If the screen is off, they get cut off.
