[Q] Green flash on screen timeout? Check your hd7, it only takes a few seconds.

I recently noticed that when the screen turns off by itself after being idle, there is a green flicker on the screen the very moment that the screen turns off.
The fact that this doesn't happen when I manually turn off the screen suggests that this might be a software problem but I'm not sure about that.
Does this indicate a bigger problem? Should I take it back to Tmobile? I think my 30 days is about up this week and I didn't get the insurance. I would gladly try to exchange it for a new one tomorrow if we didn't have this huge blizzard right now.
Anyone else experiencing this? All you have to do to check is turn on the phone to the lock screen and wait for it to dim then wait for it to shut off. My screen turns bright green right as it shuts off.
Thanks.

I just checked mine, and it doesnt seem to have this issue ...
It's not a big thing though, but you might wanna go and change it with a new one.

You just need to turn off the phone and it won't happend after that

I discovered that restarting the phone makes the problem disappear but only for a little while. After a day or two it comes back.
I'm assuming that by "restarted" you don't mean a factory reset. Am I right?

I discovered something interesting ... Today i replaced my HD7 with a new one because of an issue ...
Then i had this green flickering problem. It happenned while i was using the shipped rom (1.23). I upgraded the ROM to 1.57 and the issue seems to be gone ... at least for now.
Can you check this? what rom version are you using?

Just soft reset the phone

I'm running 1.20 from t-mobile and you said that 1.54 it's compatible with t-mobile

I'm new to the forums so i don't know about the rom version but the phone says bootloader version 1.20.2250.0.

ok, so i can confirm that the issue is because of your rom version (1.20), since i didnt have this issue again (after the rom update) until now.
but since there are no rom updates for tmobile yet, you gonna have to wait a bit longer.
Just dont worry about this issue, its not a hardware problem.

I have tmobile HD7 and I also so mine doing that a few times. Recently I haven't seen it again, I don´t know if its because I reduced the off screen time.

Hopefully it is purely a software issue.
Just to share my experience, I also notice the green flicker, but only around 1 of 10 times. So don't get too excited when do you don't see one. Problem doesn't resolve after a hard reset either. I understand there's a wp7 update to be released later this month? Hopefully that'll help.
Just a question, these rom updates, are they official and released by Tmobile or whichever carrier you're with? I purchased mine outright online, and so don't have that option.

I have noticed this intermittent issue occur when applying a chosen wallpaper for the lock screen through settings or album but the strange thing is when I re-apply my chosen wallpaper the issue is gone no green screen flicker on screen timeout
I could be wrong but there seems to be a bug when the OS applies the wallpaper, on occasions it does not do it correctly hence the green screen!
I hope the upcoming wp7 update fixes this issue!

[Q] phone crashes every night

Hi all,
for the last 5 or 6 days, my phone has crashed every single night. :-(
When I go to bed, I just leave it on the table, not charging, but with enough battery left to easily last for the night. The next morning, the phone is switched off and I cannot switch it back on, because the battery is completey drained.
When I charge and then turn the phone back on, it has done a "partial reset", meaning that all settings are back to factory defaults, contacts are gone, ... All accounts, apps, ... are still there, though. The worst part is that I cannot receive calls anymore either, in this case. Callers are immediately redirected to my mailbox, even though the phone has a signal and I can make outgoing calls without problems. The only way to fix this is a factory reset.
The next night, the same happens again.
Has anybody had a similar problem? Does anybody have an idea how to fix it?
Thanks and regards,
Andy

I'm sorry that I have no advice for you Andy, but I'm interested in hearing any solutions you may find.
What firmware/ROM are you using?

I am still using the stock Froyo ROM that the phone came with. The phone is rooted and I've installed a SpeedMod Kernel. However, both (rooting and new kernel) have happened months ago, so I doubt that they have anything to do with the problem.

(partial) solution found
Since a phone that crashes every night, using all settings in the process, is fairly useless, I decided that I might just as well trash it completely by trying (and maybe failling ) to install a custom firmware. So I downloaded Darky 10.1 and thanks to an excellent installation guide, I actually managed to install it.
Since then, my phone does no longer crash every night - it now reboots a couple of times a day The good thing is, though that after the reboot, the phone is back "in action" after maybe two minutes and it does not lose any data, setting or anything. So, it's not ideal, but much better than before ...

I was going to recommend trying a new ROM, but I found that as a workaround rather than a solution to your problem.
Did you perform a wipe or no-wipe install?

As I had pointed out in my first post, the crash that happens every night breaks something so that I can no longer receive calls and have to do a factory reset. Thus, the phone was basically wiped, already, before I did the installation and I then did a no-wipe install.
You are right, of course that this is more of a work around than a solution, but since I was thinking about putting on a new ROM for a while, already, anyways, it is a fairly good work around for me - and I really like Gingerbread and DarkyROM so far.

In the end it turned out to be a hardware problem and I needed to get the phone replaced.

[Q] Xperia T turning off when connected to network.

Help!! My XT has been running fine since I got it last September however since yesterday my device just shuts down when connected to network. Not a restart I actually have to physically turn it back. My device runs fine in airplane mode but as soon as I turn airplane mode off 3 seconds later off.
I am running a locked boot loader with non rooted 141 loaded through PCC so completely stock setup.
Is this looking like a hardware issue possibly or will reloading the stock firmware fix this?
Thanks
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app

A quick update:
Issue sorted its self out in the evening, Managed to get conected to a network but only with data off, by the morning all was working fine again.
BUT
Later on saturday I had exactly the same cycle of issues again.
Device was fine all day yesterday YAY
However today has seen a return to being dead.
The difference being I didnt drive anywhere yesterday along with this rareity known as "British Summer". We have had some very warm days of recent and I am assuming the shutting down is a fail safe as the device gets too warm.
I guess there is nothing I can do but ride this out. Given we only have this sort of weather for about a week or so a year(if at all).
How do you guys who live in the more consistently warm climates cope with this device which clearly has heat issues?

Issue is getting much worse.
All last night it was out of action worrying as I use it as an alarm so ran it over night in airplane mode.
This morning working fine but now turns off everytime I send a text message.

I had an issue similar to this but it was whenever i connected to a particular WiFi network. For me changing the WiFi channel worked.

No issues linked to WiFi seen here just when connecting to network.
issues have only come up since I updated to 141. everyone says this one prevents these issues which I never saw on earlier softwares.
I have done a repair through PCC and will see how that goes now.

Ok, device is not fixed by the repair.
I am no longer having the device randomly shut down completely but the the device is restarting. It has happened 4 times in the last hour.
1- As soon as sent a text.
2- Moving some apps around in the draw
3- Sending another text
4- unlocking phone
Does anyone have any ideas at all what is wrong with my device. Running smoothly for so many months and then now phone is becoming completely unusable.
Not sure if related but issues dont seem to arise when on charge and issues today only started once batter got below 60%.

[Q] Hardware key lights turn on when screen off

Hi,
I've been using the stable version of CM 10.1.3 since Christmas and have experienced no issues whatsoever, it's worked flawlessly...until today. I woke up this morning to find my phone charging as I had left it, but the hardware lights were turned on. Thinking it was odd, I turned the screen on then off again and the lights turned back off as they should. When I came back after breakfast however, they were on again! This has been happening all day; I'd check my phone and find that the lights had turned on. I can't seem to find any pattern (like always 2 minutes after screen off) and it doesn't even happen all the time - I left it for half an hour and they didn't turn on, but the next time I turned off the screen they turned on again after a few minutes.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and, if so, how did you fix it? I haven't yet done a factory reset as I was hoping someone else would have a good fix that doesn't mean I have to reconfigure everything.
I've also noted signal dropping a lot today, but after turning the phone off and reinserting the SIM card it seems to be back for good (well, an hour at least). Could this be related?
Any help would be great

This was really strange. The day after making this post I did a factory reset, which didn't help so I flashed a 4.4.2 Vanir Nightly. After a while this issue developed again on there, so I decided to change to official CM 11. The issue continued for an afternoon, but overnight it fixed itself - I haven't dropped signal or had the light issue for a few days now. I'd still like to know what the issue was though in case it happens again! Here's hoping yours fixes itself too

Wifi stuck trying to turn on.

Has anyone ever encountered this problem? I tried restarting the tablet and powering off completely. Nothing has worked. The last time it happened i deleted some random 3rd party apps and it magically switched on. But i havent downloaded anything new and my tablet is very close to original. It is the 9.7 inch us cellular version. I want to check for an update but without wifi, i cant do much. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Had this problem with the 8 inch version. Shutting off the Samsung power saving app resolved ot for me. Look at my post history, it should be a recent thread that I started where I documented what to turn off. YMMV.

Thanks for the suggestion. The wifi magically was on again today. The only thing i had done was took the sim card out, rebooted and left it sit. Wifi did not come on initially so i dont know how long it took but hopefully it keeps working

Well it quit working again after rooting and flashing a custom rom. Ive read the wifi chip could have a bad solder. Anyone else have any input?

I would flash back to complete stock before making any assumptions.
WiFi is highly dependent on the device firmware.
