Hello everyone. I have an AT&T Tilt, and it's great so far, except for two issues:
1) After I end a phone call, the backlight seems to go off and the screen is very dim. Pressing keys does not bring the backlight back. If I power the screen off and on, the backlight comes back on and the screen is at its normal brightness.
2) I lock my AT&T Tilt using the "Device unlocked" area on my home screen, and when I unlock the phone, sometimes it asks for my PIN, and sometimes it just shows the unlock button on the screen. My settings are for a 12 hour timeout.
If anyone can shed any light on possible fixes to these issues, that would be great. Thanks!

I have the same issue after a phone call....
Same issue here too... it doesn't happen when on USB-power... and I don't remember it doing this before the security-Exchange policy was forced onto my phone.

I think this happens coz the phone goes into standby / lock mode during your phone call. Just press the on/off button to turn screen off, and press again to turn on. Now your phone will be responsive again.
Minor bug.
Or you can just scroll the volume wheel to turn it back on.

thanks michi
thanks everyone for your replies. I will try the StayUnlock application.
I still don't understand my second issue though. If the bug is causing this issue, shouldn't it at least be consistent in either requiring me to type in my PIN or just hit the unlock button? I have set my phone to lock after 12 hours, so it should never ask for my PIN, just the unlock button...
I now see that people have been having the first issue since the Cingular 8125 but I have been unable to find any references to my second issue.
ATT Til and Backlight
When making a phone call, once connected, about 12 seconds later the screen goes dark regardless of the setting on the backlight. I am not using a password, and the only way to get back is to use the power button. using the phone button puts the call on hold
ok, i have an annoying issue with the locking my phone/screen.
i'm on doc's master ics v12 and use lockscreen widget for locking the phone. when i touch the lock screen widget, the screen turns off and then after a second it turns back on, stays turn on for a second or two, and then turns off again. this problem never happens if i use the power button for locking the screen.
has anybody have a solution ? it's really annoying.
i just got my galaxy note's firmware upgrade OTA the other day (from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4) but there is one little annoyance as a result - i have a widget bar by widgetsoid that has a lock screen button that, when pressed locks the screen, but since the upgrade when pressed the screen locks for about 1 second then the lock screen appears as if i pressed a button to turn the phone on.
i then installed the app 'turn off the lights' from the google play store which locks the screen when the shortcut is pressed, but the same result.
my question: is there a way to lock the screen with a widget and make the screen lock without coming right back on again?

Try this application from the play store
almost ...
thanks, it had my hopes up for a minute. the same thing happened with the screen off for a second and then lock screen comes on for a second, THEN it goes off for good. i ttried checking the 'Delay device locking' in settings and the screen goes off for about 5 seconds before the lock screen comes on for a second then it goes off for good.
ok, ultimately the screen now locks, which is good, but i really want it to just lock without it flashing back on for a second. any way to be able to do this without pressing the physical button because it always worked with a widget before?
I've got exactly the same problem. Screen comes back on after pressing the lock button on the Widgetsoid widget.
I guesa that's just the usual behaviour under ICS 4.0.4 (at least Samsungs version). I use delayed lock and it's the same. So I think you will have to life with it.
Sent from my Galaxy Note running ICS
Had this the other day...rendered my phone inoperable.
Basically the lock widget disappeared which was weird. Locked it and went to unlock and nothing happens.
I could press the lock button as much as I want - all I get it a black screen.
If I press camera it will open the camera in locked mode. Could take pictures but nothing else! Pressing lock again did nothing
Its almost the equivalent of explorer.exe crashing I suppose.
Fixed it in the end (luckily) by finding that holding the lock/power button and volume down for 10 seconds reset the phone to recovery mode.
Weird thing was I could receive calls still! Android crash perhaps? Hope jelly bean comes soon
Hi, i've got a problem with the Home and Back buttons. Sometimes when i double-click the home button becomes locked and i have to lock and turn on the screen for it to work
Is this problem normal? I've got a screensave and i don't know if that can cause it
thanks

Take a look at what you installed prior to issue showing up, if it was the screensaver then remove the screensaver to see if the issue goes away. If it did then it is your cause, if not what else did you do the phone. Don't forget to reboot the phone after each step to clear out any caches or residual programs.
