Display issue - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
My phone barely turned one year a week ago and now I'm having some issues!
The display seems to lose it's sensivity after a 5-30minutes use. Completely random. I can turn on/off the screen, I can use the fingerprint sensor (and it works) but it "feel my touches". It just doesnt respond to my touches.
The only thing I can do is to force reboot, pressing the on/off button for 5-10seconds.
I switched from xiaomi.eu to global stable and it does the same thing. Now I'm going to switch to the latest LineageOS maybe it works.
I couldn't find my problem on Google, all other display issues seems to be different from mine.
Thanks guys! Awaiting tips!

Defective light sensor

Hi all,
I picked my nexus 7 up yesterday and had a play around with it in the afternoon at work. When I got home it wouldn't turn on though. It appeared as though it was booting fine but the screen wouldn't turn on after boot.
A little googling around and I found a few threads describing the same situation blaming the problem on the automatic brightness settings.
I've reset the device to factory twice and even flashed the factory firmware again in hopes that it was a software problem. Alas nothing has fixed it. When the device is in dim lit areas the screen refuses to turn on. If the brightness is set to manual then there isn't a problem with the general use of the device although I did notice that the global brightness settings didn't seem to apply to some apps (Google Movies) and the screen liked to turn off while watching videos.
Anyway just wanted to put it out there that I believe this is another hardware problem that some people may dismiss without too much thought and use manual brightness.

Literally the same exact thing happened to me. Contacted google and they're replacing it
I have the exact problem!! At least you can initialise your device when unbox
I don't even have a chance to do that, as the screen light always turns off!!
I have contacted google for replacement, but it just takes me long time for a further response!
How disappointed!
Hmm, I would run GPS Status and Toolbox and test out the light sensor with that. If there is a hardware issue, the sensor probably won't detect light change at all.
I think had this problem, took it back to the store I bought it from the next morning
When I turned the screen brightness down manually, at a certain point and below, the backlight doesn't seem to be on?
The sales guy said it was a backlight issue and had no issues replacing it straight away
Got another one no problem, and tested in store and its behaving fine

ProxImity sensor problem

Hey guys so I'm having the following problem, during a call when I put the phone near my ear and the screen turns off, sometimes the phone stucks, what I mean is the after I remove the phone from my ear the screen remains turned Off and the buttons do not respond.. But the call is still working.. I had gueste rom then I changed to cyanogen but the problem is still there...
Unresponsive phone perhaps, because as far as I know, nothing of the sort happened to me ever.
Also, does the screen light up when you end the call...let's say by using power button?
Not likely, but I'll mention anyway, check if anything is blocking the proximity censor - holding habit, cellphone case etc.
Similar issue,any way to disable the proximity senzor?

I have pretty much the same problem,the screen remain turned off after i remove the phone from my ear and i can't activate the screen or press any buttons until the other person terminates the call.
I run a proximity test from the Hidden Menu and the sensor detects as NEAR all the time even though nothing is in front of it.
I reinstalled several roms and i still encounter the same issue therefore it must be a hardware problem.
I would like to specify that i don't use a screen protector therefore the senor is not blocked in any way.
Is there any way to disable the proximity sensor completely?is there a application or a setting for that?

I have had the same problem, with many roms. I think if you are on some of the ICS roms, you will have to expect some bugs, like this. I am now on Temaseks build 135.1 with his kernel and I dont have any of these bugs. It seems ICS for our P990 is to be expected soon, so try a ROM as close to stock as possible and wait for our ingenious developers to get the last drivers working and you will see a lot of bugs disappearing. I would not recommend you to disable additional hard/software.
One app that has helped me though, with some of the ICS issues, is AnTuTu CPUMaster. A free app in Play and it allows you to set your minimum clockspeed a little higher than standard, I set mine around 400Mhz and it took care of many of the little bugs related to phone not reacting according to expectations.
Good Luck
Have the same problem and man... its a huge pain...
I am on the official CM7 latest release. I used to be on temasek's one and did not encounter the problem. As I can;t change ROMs these days, any quick fix, calibration app that would do the trick? Thanks!

Screen timeout not working

Hi guys.
I got an issue of screen time out timer.
Sometimes it works but mostly not.
Display isn't turning off at all.
Sometimes it's turning off like normal (set at 1min) but sometimes not turning off at all.
It's all happening with any notifications (not specific one).
Can't find the reason it's happening,
Even made a clean flash and nothing changed
Need advice.
Thanks.

Mi5 lcd problem - it goes dark

Dear all,
I've bought recently Mi5 and received it couple days ago, unfortunately I have a serious problem with the lcd. It's really bizarre malfunction, I don't have problem with backlight or touchscreen and I can use the phone normally but the moment it goes to sleep or I press the power button lcd goes dark and it won't turn on. Button back-light shines but the lcd is essentially dead and I can't do anything. The only way to wake it up is reset. If I set the sleep option to "never" I can use the phone normally until the battery drains but it's really awkward and inconvenient. I've been trying to update the rom, wipe all data etc but it didn't help. I even flashed the newest rom V8.5.3.0.NAAMIED via miflash unluckily the problem still remains.
Any ideas?

Anyone had their screen/display replaced?

Found a few threads here on Xda on this subject but very little engagement and no issues solved.
I replaced my display screen after it got cracked. The replacement isn't as good as the original which is expected, but it works. The issues are that off screen gestures don't work, double tap to wake is what i miss the most. Live display and adaptive brightness don't work. And occasionally device goes blank on wake up, as in you can hear the UI unlock sound but screen is black. It works after few trys.
This is both on custom ROMs and stock Oxygen i tried. Anyone found a software solution? Like a certain ROM or kernel to solve this?
