I have a stock XP, after restarting yesterday, the screen turned off after 2 seconds in the home screen.
The LED flashes, get text alerts and calls. Can not answer them though. When I restart again the screen comes back on,
I can put the password to confirm a restart and then the screen goes black after it shows the home screen.
Any ideas or fixes?
Thank you

The screen keeps blinking back to full brightness, every 30 seconds or so, when it is left alone and the screen dims normally. It is as if something is pressing a button or touching the screen.
When I press the power button and send it to suspend mode, the backlight goes off, and the tilt no longer responds to touch or button pressing. For some reason it pops itself out of suspend and turns back on every couple minutes. My battery life is going down extremely fast. 100% to 40% in three hours.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched the forum but never found a specific topic for this issue.

I have the same problem w
th the backlight comming on by itself & battery life depletes extremely fast. I am using HD 15 Nov with 3.29.
In addition to backlight issue my hardware keys are no longer working.
Please has anyone got any advice
i have the same problem. the only thing that seems to work is doing the keypad lock and putting it to sleep. it will occasionally blink like its trying to come back on but doesnt. another thing i did is put my phone in flight mode, locking the keypad and putting it to sleep. when i do that it doesnt blink or anything. sadly i wont receive phone calls or emails and texts. i think the blinking has something to do with phone signal and accessing the networks.
hth
also i noticed that it wakes from sleep when the keypad "unlock" screen pops up.
i think i found a fix
Ok I hope this helps for you because it seems to work for me. I first went to start/settings/sounds & notifications. Then I clicked on the notification tab and unchecked everything leaving only the ringer on for when calls come in. when I did that, for about 5 minutes (longest I tested it at) the phone did not turn on and the backlight didn’t do that weird grayish flash thing. Afterwords I at first was going to go down the list of all notifications and turn things on/off to see what wakes up my phone but i got too lazy and only checked one setting. One thing I noticed is that when I have the beam: autorecieved notification turned on for display a message on the screen I get that weird backlight flickering thing. So for now I just have sound alerts on when I receive any type of messages and a sound alert for reminders. So far so good, my phone hasn’t woken from sleep in 20 minutes.
I hope this is the right section for troubleshooting...
But right now I have Cyanogen's 4.1.9999 coming from 4.1.9.2 with a flash. And when I had 4.1.9.2 for some reason when i clicked the menu button my screen wouldn't turn on. The buttons would light up but the screen would not turn on. So I'd have to slide it up and press menu and then itd sometimes work. So When i slid it up i always pressed a letter and the screen would turn off. Then i started to notice that even THAT started not to work. And for some reason it's still stuck on 4.1.9999 with a flash. So now my screen only turns on when it wants too...
Can someone please help me? Thanks
And also when I restart my phone, the "T-mobile G1" black screen doesn't come anymore...
Hello everyone. I have had my Droid Bionic since day one and I have never had an issue with it. It has been wonderful.
Until today. I am on the stock OS. I had a Live Wallpaper that showed a little Android figure that melts based on the percentage of my battery. I went into my Gallery and clicked on "Set As Wallpaper" on an image I took with my camera on the phone.
At the bottom of the phone, a small popup showed up that said "COMPLETED". When I went to the home screen, there was no wallpaper in the background. It was just black, though the icons were still there and it was responsive. I thought maybe the image was corrupt, so I went and tried another image.
This caused the phone to reboot. When it rebooted, there was a notification bar, the time, the lock screen, and a thing that said No Signal. I tried to unlock it, but the phone was unresponsive.
Then I got a text message, even though I had no signal. The notification light was blinking. I could not unlock the phone. I hit the sleep button, and it went to sleep. I tried hitting it again, and it would not wake up.
I tried pulling the battery and putting it back in, and now it won't properly boot. Right when it boots, it goes to sleep (the little shutdown animation). I texted myself from my sister's phone and the notification light blinks, the phone vibrates, and the screen turns on and shows I have a text on the notification bar. The screen and the buttons are completely unresponsive, however.
I tried calling myself from my home line and I could pick up the call just fine and end the call. I could not, however, go back to the home screen while on the call. The capacitive buttons on the bottom were completely unresponsive. When I hung up the call (by touch), it went to a completely black screen with the notification bar showing that I had some text messages and the time and my service, etc.
I have rebooted the phone five times now by removing the battery and it keeps going to this. I have never rooted the phone (I wouldn't even know how to) and I am concerned because of all of the information that I have saved on the phone.
Yes I have tried removing the SD card. Didn't help.
Any suggestions? :/
UPDATE: Now the phone doesn't even boot, it gets stuck at the Red Eye spinning logo. It vibrates twice and the notification light begins blinking, meaning it is letting me know that I have received text messages... but it isn't actually booting to the Android home screen. Really strange...
You should fxz back to stock
It will wipe your application data but not you're sdcard info or internal storage

Hard reset using all three external buttons
Try doing a hard reset - it's one of those things they only tell you about at the Verizon store when you're stuck:
Once you have the phone on and at least responsive, press and hold BOTH volume keys, then hold the power button down for 10 seconds (it's really about 6, but 10 will do it for sure). This procedure can also be done to force a reboot when you load a gnarly application that sux and locks your phone up - without having to disassemble everything and pull the battery.
Hopefully with any luck, you're phone will do a back-flip and come up!
I've had my Nexus One for some time now, and i'm having a problem with it. Whenever i turn it on (sometimes i have to try more than once because it just stays black) it works ok, but when i lock it and try to unlock it (with the power button) the screen stays black. The action buttons at the bottom of the screen turn on but the screen stays black. I have CM 7.2 and i just flashed it and formatted all the partitions i could think of and it's still doing this.
If i call the phone after locking it, it will ring and the trackball flashes but the screen stays black.
Any help?
When the phone is on everything works fine.
P.S. I've searched the forums and found a few threads but none offer a good answer.
EDIT: If i leave it for like an hour or so i can turn the screen back on with the power button, but only once.
i have the same problem, am using the stock rom .. it happens after ending a phone call the screen stays black and i have to restart the device
waiting for solution !!
Hello all,
I got this phone about a month and a half ago, and since I got it I've noticed a lot of freezing and crashing (more so after the 5.1 update).
Some examples:
-I try unlocking the phone from active display and the screen goes black. The only way to get out of it is to hold the power button to restart.
-Sometimes the phone freezes on the lock screen randomly, and when I pick up the phone to look at it, the time is wrong and I can't physically unlock the phone, only turn the screen on and off, leading to me having to hold the power button down to shut off and restart.
-When on some apps, like twitter for example, the phone freezes, and I cannot do anything except turn off the screen by pressing the power button. When I try waking the phone, it stays black or sometimes theres a flash of the screen I was on before, and then it goes black again. Only thing I can do here is hold the power button down until "Power Off" shows up on the screen, and I press that to shut the phone off.
Today I cleared the cache, and since then the phone has froze once, causing me to do a hard reset. What should I try next? Any idea what the problem could be?
Thank you for the help.
I have pretty much the exact same thing going on. It started last night... I first noticed I had some charging issues where the phone wasn't charging very quickly after the battery died (after a day of heavy use). I let it sit for awhile, then it booted up, and it showed the motorola splash screen. It gets all the way to the lock screen, although I'm unable to unlock the phone. The screen goes dark. It appears to still be getting texts and the like- although this screen blackness issue makes it so I can't unlock the phone. The one thing I can do is hold down the power button and turn it off. I've tried loading fastboot and doing a factory reset, although nothing appears to happen and it boots the same way. The other thing about it is that it appears to be running hot- way hot. Any ideas? I'm running stock rom, Verizon network, just updated to 5.1 when it came out last week.
