Hi,
I experienced today a strange behavior:
I used my nook, turn off wifi, let it in my bag for 1 or 2 hours and when i tried to wake it the screen didn't turn on.
At first i though it was SOD but when i looked closer to the screen there was something on it, it was the CM7 boot logo (the tony hawks droid
The logo was not very visible, most like old "ghost image" on CRT screen when he same image is displayed for long periods of time.
I should have taken a photo, i will if it reproduce.
Kinda sounds like it was rebooting without turning on the backlight. Could you see the arrow circling? I've had "n" turn on the backlight with no image, but tapping power turns off the backlight, then tapping it again turns the screen on properly.
Sounds like somebody's state machine has a leak...
i will never know (i pressed power 8s, if it was booting, i just stopped it)

Today I had an alarm set, when the alarm went off I tapped hit the power button on the top of my phone to turn the screen off (and hopefully the alarm... but only the screen went off). The alarm continued to go, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get the screen to come back on.
I can fully interact with the phone (as if the screen was on). For example, pressing talk twice redailed my last call. Pressing power prompted to shut the phone off (could hear the "blurp"), etc.
So, after shutting the phone off (or resetting with pinhole reset), the display works fine while it is displaying the "Cingular - Raising the Bar" nonsense. As soon as that screen is done (where it would have normally showed the today screen), the screen just goes off...
Any ideas?

nevermind, when I put it under a bright light I realized the screen was on, the backlight was just off... somehow I must have hit some shortcut to turn the backlight off.

Don't sound too relieved...
Say hello to the Backlight bug.
You're backlight will keep setting itself to the lowest setting after every soft-reset, when you let it go into stand-by itself.
I'm still sufferering from it. It started when i first installed PocketZenphone.
So just want to give u a warning. Everytime you reset your phone, remember not to let it go into standby itself. Either tap the power button and turn the screen off, then turn it on agan. Otherwise, the Backlight will go to low again.
I have a HTC Magic from Orange (PL), unmodified, without root access, Android 1.5 out-of-box. Recently, I've noticed annoying issue on my phone. If I don't press "end call" red button to turn screen off, it will be on forever - the phone is on the desk for 15 minutes, I'm not touching it, and the backlight is still on, with my Android desktop (not lock-screen) on the screen. It's look like there is no timeout to turning backlight and screen off, although this was working some time ago. I've tried to change settings like timeout value in minutes, WiFi sleep mode etc. but without success. It is so annoying that I have to remember now to press red button after using a phone. Anyone can help me?
P.S.: I don't have aFile or Dark Keys installed.
Idk if this is effecting anyone else, but when i go to idle the phone by hitting the power button it seems to lag for a second or so and then turn the screen off. The touch buttons light off and then a second later the screen goes black. Just wondering if this is just my phone or if thats how the phone is.
Hello everyone, I have been searching constantly for any information on a problem that suddenly started today with my galaxy s4, and this is going to sound very odd for sure. For no apparent reason, i pulled the phone out of my pocket, hit the power button, and everything that is supposed to be white is pink. The touch screen will work for a split second, just long enough to get the phone unlocked, and then is all together unresponsive. On the home screen, once again, everything that is supposed to be white, (text, notification icons, time, ect) is bright pink. All the buttons are responsive, but the touchscreen does nothing. Upon hitting the power button to turn the screen off, you can see the pink disappear and the screen change back to normal for just a moment before it goes off, same when it powers on, which is why i can manage to get the phone unlocked. Anyone hear of anything like this?
You have either a loose connector or some other hardware failure.
Hi,
I've been having screen issues with my phone. First green lines started showing on the screen, I turned auto brightness off, and it fixed the issue. But now when I want to wake my phone, it flashes white, but the screen stays off, and it does this for~3 more clicks, the fourth one turns the screen on though.
I'm on stock by the way. Not rooted.
Figured I'd ask before taking it to Samsung.
