Last night my XDA Mini S froze while using PIE, so I did a soft reset, put the phone down and went to sleep. Noticed this morning that it's stuck at the Windows Mobile splash screen - still in Landscape mode which is what I was using when PIE froze. Done another soft reset, same problem. My LEDs are flashing as usual, one green and the Bluetooth one.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ok, it started working for some reason - but I noticed when it got to my today screen that my NotesToday plugin wasn't there. I went into Settings > Today > Items, and NotesToday was ticked. I unticked it, clicked OK, then re-ticked it and it showed up again on my today screen. Fine. However now everytime I press the power button to come out of sleep mode, my Today screen flashed up fine for about 0.5 sec, then flashed white for a millisecond, then comes up fine EXCEPT the whole "top" bar (i.e. the part of the screen with Start button, clock, signal strength, etc) stays solid white, and I can't see any of those icons. Rest of the screen is fine. If I click Unlock, the whole screen is fine after that.
Help!
I had a similar problem with a different part of the screen staying white after coming out of hibernate (the O2 active UI sidepanel)...Hard reset fixed it and the problem hasn't returned (although I don't use the O2 UI now...)
If your device freezes on the Windows loading screen, then soft reset it and while it is loading the next time, press one of the hardware buttons, such as the D-pad or the green or red phone buttons, continually as it loads. This should keep the lights behind the buttons turned on, and it should load Windows without a problem.
Had the same error on my phone, I think it tries to hibernate as it loads Windows or something equally stupid. Pressing a button continually prevents this and allows it to load normally.

very strange, i have just noticed that my phone lock screen is now gone.
when i hit the hang up/power off button instead of locking the screen it goes black but when i hit another button it comes right back to the main today screen but no lock screen. bit of a problem when it does in the pocket.
any help??
hi
start - settings - menu -all settings - lock -(untick prompt if phone unused for) ----follow instructions -- reboot
regards
op
hold down your power button and lock the screen using that, then when you put the phone back into sleep it will wake up locked.
You may have to do this everytime after a reboot. Eventually mine sorted itself out and I no longer have to do it
This happened to me after I installed the HTC SMS patch. It also makes it so you can only preview your emails and not go into it by selecting. Installed and hard reset twice thinking it was a fluke. Nope.
i got the lock screen back by going to Settings / Change background of lock screen, then softreset. don't know why it went missing and why i got it back doing this... but it worked.
i was using wifi and opera browsing while all of a sudden i though it was reloading but the screen went black except for the top bar where the signal, volume and connection icons are, when i press any button the screen appears to react like if i pressed the lock button the top showed it was on the lock screen but still black below the top bari could not soft reset since the blackpart of the lcd was black and had no slider, i attached the USB cable and the Active sync/Disk Drvie screen appear when i chose either active sync or disk drive it got stuck on that page but the top part still reacted to the buttons so i took out the battery and put it back in
what could have been the problem, was it an issue with the phone but the screen though black was bright since the led lights were on so was it Sense having the problem the last hing i remember doing while using opera was aborting cleanRAM since i was using the device i did not want opera to close
any ideas?
After doing a hard reset on my perfectly-functioning Pro the other day, the screen and buttons have now stopped working. My question is two-fold:
1. What the heck is going on?
The phone worked fine until I did the hard reset. Now, when I do a hard reset, everything appears to work correctly through the screen-alignment. The screen responds properly at that stage. Immediately afterward, the normal Today screen pops up for a split second. After that, the "Treo Customization" screen comes up, and that's where it all goes to hell. After the "Treo Customization" runs its course, the phone says "tap screen to reset." After tapping the screen, the phone responds and resets itself.
After that, a blank today screen appears. The tool bar on top is there and the background is there, but that's it. The screen and buttons are unresponsive except to brighten the screen after it periodically dims. Several other functions continue to work. I can activate wifi via the side button. The top button turns off the screen. Strangely enough, the QWERTY keyboard is completely unresponsive, except that the search button works (alt button and magnifying glass).
Does this sound like a hardware problem? Could it be fixed with a flash and new rom?
2. I tried to flash the phone and install a new rom to see if that would help, but I was unsuccessful for the following reasons: 1) When I run PANTHER_CDMA_HSPL_V101, the bootloader screen appears, but immediately upon that occurring, my sync connection disappears, so I can't proceed through my computer. 2) I can't run the manual flash program (SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA) because I have no functioning controls on the phone itself.
Any ideas? Is there any way to achieve a flash on an unresponsive phone, or should I start shopping?
Thanks!

So I managed to drop my phone a couple of weeks ago and crack the screen. The screen itself has remained fully functional despite a couple of purple lines down it and progressively worse flickering. It;s gradually started becoming more unresponsive and tonight it seems to have had enough. The stay on screen still display the time and if I press the lock key it will show me my lock screen and my notifications, I can swipe and remove these and if drag them down to read them further.
However, when I actually unlock my phone to go to my home screen, the phone screen goes black - I know the phone has unlocked because I can hear the sound effects when I press apps but everything remains black and I can't get the screen to come alive again until I lock the phone. If I double tap the home button, it will quick launch my camera and that works. So essentially the screen still works but won't show me my home screen or any apps (apart from camera), it's essentially blacked out until I lock it again.
I'm getting it repaired but am not able to do so for a few days. Any ideas how I can bring the screen back to life when I unlock the phone? I tried restarting a few times, leaving it turned off for a while and emergency mode - none of which worked.
Galaxy S5 G900F klte with LineageOS/eOS (Android 11) TWRP and Magisk Root.
The Screen works fine after booting the device. But:
- after the Screen Time out starts - the screen stays black (sometimes flickers a bit when pushing power button)
- also if i manual turn off the screen with i.e. pushing the power button - the screen stays black (sometimes flickers a bit when pushing power button)
Rebooting or taking battery out and back in doesn't help most of the time to get the screen back - and after the first screen time out / turning off screen manually it stays black anyway.
So at the moment I can only use the phone at home with my laptop (with scrcpy ).
I don't think it is a Hardware problem because when I boot into TWRP the screen works fine - for testing purposes i stayed for 2 days in TWRP and the screen came always back to life after every screen time out during the whole time.
Also the touch still works even if the display is black - when i see the screen on scrcpy i can see it functions normal when i touch around on the display.
I also noticed that the screen comes often back alive when i first start scrcpy with the --turn-screen-off flag and then push the home button 1 or more times on the phone)
Any suggestions how to fix that?
Is there maybe a graphics driver i could disable/change/switch in the development options?
