Since a little while I have an issue where if I leave my phone locked for a while (idle), and I try to unlock it, the screen doesn't show anything.
The device does still unlock but no image is displayed, the only way to fix it temporarily is to hold the power button and reboot the device.
I'm running Rooted Marshmallow atm, but the issue occurs with any ROM I have tried so far.
Does anyone know how to fix this, because it is really annoying.
Greetings
Does anyone have an idea??
I get this actually. The 'fix' is to swipe down from the top when the phone is unlocked but the screen is black.

Not a clue. Bug in the display driver or something. Who knows.

Could it be due to Doze?
Everything ok with my device, never had this problem. I'm running official stock 6.0 non-rooted. Try to deactivate Moto Display and see if the problem continues to happen.

I've "disabled" Doze for 2 days now, and the issue hasn't been back since then.
So might be a doze related bug.
Still not certain

Get the aosp browser, then you won't have flickering

I think Sony has screwed something because other brands dont suffer from this. Some driver or something is butched in this release.

camera lag
I have the camera lag. when I open the camera app it takes complete a second or two to open. and if you open it from lock screen it takes for ever. well at least from the lock screen it was laggy on .569 too. other than that the UI is slightly slower and laggy than .569.

Whats up people,
I'm experiencing some wierd stuff with my Z1. Recently when I press the power button to light up the screen it doesn't respond and the screen stays black, this happens quite often and it's getting really annoying! Another thing is that the screen/notification led is very slow to light up when I connect the charger.
Anyone else experiencing this or have any idea of what could cause it?

Definitely try a reset, My girlfriends xperia zl will so that the odd time but not very often.
Try a soft reset first (Power button, volume down) if it still occurs, Go throught and try Installing your rom again (reset partition and cache only) If worst comes to worst do a full factory reset
Is anyone else having issues with video playback in landscape mode? 1/2 the screen freezes and the other half continues to play the video. It is the weirdest thing. Taking a screenshot shows the normal output. Trying to find out if this is common or if there's something up with my phone
I've had half screen turning black. Seems to happen after daydreaming for me, and coming out of landscape orientation even though the daydream never actually went landscape. Seems like a couple weird problems at the same time. Had to reboot to get out of the freeze. I've turned off daydream for now...will see if the freeze happens elsewhere.

Have you guys changed your DPI? This issue seems to happen at certain DPI intervals.

I have not changed anything regarding dpi settings. In fact, ive kept this stock....for now. I was worried it was just me but it seems to be affecting other people. 64gb Blue if there is any correlation between model number.
My DPI is stock. 64gb white. Rooted, unlocked stock bootloader, stock kernal/rom. I did figure out that a simple screen off then back on corrected the issue.
Still weird...

Yup that seems to clear it, however when you are showing off this massive behemoth to all your friends playing a video , it just gets a little annoying having to power off unlock and reload. I'm wondering if its been submitted to google as a bug.

I've noticed since I first got this phone that the top of the screen becomes unresponsive randomly. Starting a touch registers nothing, but the screen still functions like normal in a dragging touch situation.
The only way to fix it is to reboot. It's gotten to a point where it's annoying to deal with, especially if you're trying to do multiple things at once like replying to several text messages.

I don't think it's an actual problem with the hardware, but rather the software.
For example, when it happens it usually prevents me from swiping down the notification shade, but if I tap on hold in the middle of the notification bar, it appears long enough for my to pull it down.
Besides, if it was hardware based, how could a reboot fix it?
And I also bought this phone second hand so I don't know how that would affect calling Motorola.

The only thing I can think of is if the phone was damaged and the glass replaced there could be an issue with the repair or the top of the digitizer.
Does it work when you apply pressure?
Do you have a screen protector on it? Tempered glass?
Do you have a case like the otterbox that has the screen protector built in?

1. No, its more like the top or the screen becomes disabled. One quick reboot and its back to normal until it happens again.
2. It did have a tempered glass screen when I bought it but I took it off.
3. No, I use my phone completely naked.
It's not much of an issue, its just a huge inconvenience.

That would make me mad when it does happen.
You could go into safe mode and run that for a day to see if the issue pops up. Then you will know it's a software not hardware issue.
Push and hold the power button until the power menu pops up. Press and hold the power off until the safe mode prompt pops up.
Give that a try.

I'll have to do this some other time, as I have classes today and I need my apps. I'm starting to think it might be a bug with Lollipop, my apps, or maybe a combination or both as I have experienced it on two ROMs, and I'm thinking of trying another ROM.
In the mean time, any other ideas?
Are you using Facebook Messenger? I've read quite a few times (on XDA and Reddit) that Facebook Messenger and more specifically "chat heads" are causing dead spots in the top corner(s) even when none are on the screen.

I have never installed Messenger, only the regular Facebook app. I uninstalled it just yesterday however.
Perhaps I have another app that causes those dead spots? But they would have to create it all across the top part of the screen.

Do you have any other app that has the ability to produce floating "chat head" like items? The only other app I know that uses such a feature is Flyperlink, a new app (or maybe not so new, I don't know) that a lot of people just started talking about recently.

Not that I am aware of; unless I did it a while ago and can't remember.
I think I may have figured it out though. I use AwSMS as my primary messaging app, and the Heads Up notification allows for quick reply if you swipe down. I think it behaves sorta like the floating chat things someone said earlier, because I can watch videos and leave most games running in the background without it pausing as I type.
