Hi Guys,
I have a frustrating situation whereby my Galaxy Note powers on but the screen appears to be in permanent sleep mode - I get nothing but black on the screen.
You can here the Samsung chime as the phone powers up, I can adjust the volume button and hear audible tones. I can also call the mobile from another phone so the underlying phone/OS is working fine.
I can also connect the device via Kies USB and copy images/music with no issues.
I have tried removing the battery and replacing, I have also tried giving the device a full charge however I still get nothing on the screen.
Does anyone know if it's possible to perform some kind of hardware reset to get the screen to power back on? If not I guess i'll need to return the unit
p.s. Stock Galaxy Note
Thanks v much
Jeremy
Same problem for me , i have test many ROM and kernel but i still get the black screen. it's generally when i haven't use my phone during a couple hours.
Same issue here. The screen remains black and not responsive to front button or power button. I still am able to hear notifications (e.g. calendar reminders, plug in power, etc.).
Long press of power button to reboot is the only solution I have found in order to clear.
First occurrence yesterday after owning note for 1 month.
Second occurrence today.
Stock device. No root. KL7.
No newly installed apps prior to first occurrence. I will cross-check to see if any apps updated yesterday.
I have also disabled Green Power.

and suddenly i faced the same problem today
when phone is in sleep and i receive a notification and press the home button
to wake the phone

and the phone wont respond
however pressing the power button it brings the menu to switch and etc
so i can select power off and then again switch on the phone

Hi there,
Hoping someone can help me with the following!
I put my tablet in charge yesterday (everything was fine at this stage) but when I unplugged it 2-3 hours later, the screen is no longer working.
I know the tablet is on and working as I can unlock it using my fingerprint and can turn the volume up and down - the sound is working fine. The back and recents buttons are also still working and light up when pressed.
Anyone experienced this issue before or know how I can fix it?
Thanks

I have two SM-T815 - experienced the same on both. First I had it sent via Vodafone to Samsung for repair. When happened two weeks later with the second TabS2 I pulled out the SIM-card and suddenly the device worked as usual after having rebooted it.
Recently, I've noticed that my phone's screen completely blacks out while the phone is still working. So, if you plug in your charger, it'll play that charger connect notification sound if you use the fingerprint, it'll unlock the phone but nothing comes up on the screen. It'd be completely blacked out. This has happened to to me twice and has me got worried now. No matter for how long you hold the power button, nothing happens. Right now, it seems that the phone corrects the default by itself after leaving it aside for a good 10-15 minutes. Has anyone of you faced this?
Yep, unfortunately happens, though rarely . Mentioned in few other threads.
Happened to me thrice. Yesterday was the last go. You can reboot with Vol up + power.
It's an annoying bug, I'll admit that.
For me the same, two or three times last two weeks, I think some bug in Pie, because before there was nothing like thies

Have had this phone since its release date here in UK (TA-1055) and have not experienced black screen or any other bug, except the non-appearance of Pie which has still not Ben released in UK OTA.

Experienced it thrice. The first time I experienced it was last August (Android 8.1 Oreo), then October and today. I didn't think this was the new Android 9 Pie's fault as I experienced it when my phone was on Android 8.1 Oreo. Also one thing I noticed is that even if the screen is not showing up, the touch controls are still active. So I managed to restart it normally my phone by press hold the power for a second and feel the default location of the restart.

Mine would just not restart. Or maybe I was touching the wrong portion of the screen... Afterall, it was all blacked out
Same, holding the power button vibrates the phone and touching the screen does make it vibrate sometimes, but Vol up + power does not do anything. Screen is still black.

It happened to me last month for the very first time and hopefully will never again in future!
I can't recall if I was pressing the right key combination but for several times it would just vibrate and then nothing. I had to call customer care from my secondary device to check what can be done who were pathetic to tell me to take it to the nearest service center. Then, I eventually tried the Power button + volume up and then it rebooted and went back to normal.
I was so shook with this incident, I hope it never happens to anyone. I've been using this device since 7 months now and it never happened to me when on Oreo. This device is getting more and more pathetic with each new update!
Hi,
sorry for necromancing the thread. It happened to me today too, for the first time. If anyone else stumbles upon this thread, then this is absolutely easiest solution:
1, Hold down power button until it vibrates
2, The screen is black, but the touchscreen still works. The easiest one to touch is the power off button, because it is right next to the power button So simply tap on the display right next to your power button after you feel the vibration, and you will tap the power off button. Wait a few seconds, then hold power button again to turn the phone on again.
Same happens to me. I hold down the power button until it vibrates, release, take a deep breath, tap button again and it is back.
Happened to me as well ?
Hi,
I just bought this smartphone nokia 7 plus TA-1046 4G/64G dual sim. I could parameter it and after only 2 hours of use: total black-out! I could still feel vibrating keys despite the black screen. I ve been able to force the restart by pression power button + sound level up, but the screen remained desperately black. I tried to charge it well for 1 hour, same ****. Surprisingly, I removed the sim card and the SD card and It restarted normally.
Pretty scary! Will it happen again? What was the pb? A SD card conflict? Shall I format the SD card maybe? Or buy a top quality SD card? A sim card conflict? Shall I keep the phone or send it back to the shop?
Did anyone narrow down a potential SD card cause as well for this kind of glitch?
Thanks.
Arn
Happened to me also couple of times.
One time happened just before I wanted to show off my phone to my friend. I had to keep my phone in my pocket for like 10-15 minutes, lol, I was embarrassed because I praised this phone, and praised Android One, because he was considering this phone to buy, for at the end he went with the P20 Lite.
F***you HMD
Re happened again
Just 1 hour ago my nokia 7 plus re black out again! Had to wait 1 hour to re start it. Then, it worked 5 mins and black screen again. That s enough => I ll ask for a product return and refund.
Btw: i don't have blackout problem using daily N7p for 10months...
Have you guys tried formatting the phone ? I had clearing cache issues when I set font size and screen size small. It will clear the cache very slowly and eventually it will struck. But it was solved after I tried default font size and display size. Looks like every model got its own issues.

Screen goes black (i have always on screen) and no response from any of the buttons (power button, twice volume down button for camera). I have to hold the power button until it restarts/starts (don't know if it is dead or not). Anyone else has this issue? Only wierd apps that i havent hade before is blockada.

Troubleshoot it.
Delete the app and see if it still happens. If it does, flash a raw firmware and completely wipe your device. if it still continues, its a hardware issue and you should exchange the device.

You're in custom or stock rom?
Im on stock with no modifications.
Phone auto shuts down
Did you find any solution same thing started to happen with me twice in 2 days
The way I fixed it... go to settings, Security & Lock Screen, click on the gear icon next to screen lock, then choose the first option Automatically lock, choose "Immediately" any thing other than that causes the screen to go black. I hope it works!
@Ahmed_x this didnt work for me.
So today i was about to miss my international flight because of this stupid phone deciding to die on me while on charging so no alarm went off.
Wtf is wrong with Asus? How could this have gotten worst with the new update. Are their developers ret**ded?
This phone is being returned unfortunately. Awesome phone but if u cant trust it to give a simple thing as alarm whats the point.
It happened to me twice in three months. The smartphone got stuck/freeze in standby mode: no response from the physical buttons or touch. I use the official android 9 rom.
I managed to restart it with the power button and volume up pressed for 15 seconds.
I hope that with android 10 this will never happen again.
Happened to me today, had to hold volume-down + power for about 10-15s to get it back.
very strange using latest firmware too (WW_Phone-17.0230.2004.60)
[HELP] My ROG Phone always turn off suddenly when charge
Please HELP My ROG Phone 2.
It's been more than a month if the charge will turn off unexpectedly. This situation is experienced until today. So that every time I charge, phone must be in the dead state. I've been very frustrated. Already doing factory data reset, only lasts for one week and back like that again.
Worse, in certain circumstances the handphone suddenly dead and hard to be turned on again. When charging the battery, sometimes the phone likes to not fill. I had to unplug and re-plug the charging cable to return it to normal. Its sucks. I bought this phone in a new condition with the official warranty on January. I already did update to Android 10 when available by the system. This issue occurs after the update.
I had thought the charger that I got from the factory was problematic, until I decided to buy a new charger with the original quality with 30watt power. But it turns out the same.
Same here my phone will turn off while charging. And it will keep rebooting. Sometimes my rog will not charge
My ASUS ROG2 is starting ti piss me iff noe.. Everything I play BR in CODM alwaiz black out..every single game black out. This is not good...Is this normal? Every game has to black out?...
Bought a Mi 9 lite from amazon Spain on 26th February. Everything was working fine up until 2 weeks ago. Now, every few days, it just turns itself off for no reason. I have to hold power button to turn it back on it then gives me option to reboot or wipe data (which obviously I don't want). Then I press reboot, using power button, and it reboots. This has happened 4 times over past 2 weeks. Any ideas whys this is happening? Any fixes? Thanks
