HD2 Bug: No Standby mode, screen always on

Hello
My HD2 Worked well for a long time, but now everytime I press the "sleep" key it turns off for half a second then turns back on and proudly displays the lockscreen without me pressing anything. There is no way to turn the screen off and go in standby mode anymore.
Obviously the battery drains so much faster from not being able to have the screen off and this silly problem actually makes the phone unusable
I flashed a few roms using HardSPL and now HSPL2. I'm currently running Artemis 11.0, the problem appeared may days after flashing while using Artemis ROM 9.0. A hard reset seemed to fix it but the problem reappeared. Today flashing 11.0 only solved the problem at first boot.
Anyone had that before? Not sure if it's software/rom related or not anymore. HELP

As far as Ive seen, its only you an me who have had this problem so far.
Honestly, Im relieved to see someone else with this problem.
I had exactly as you described, but using Axlor roms.
It worked fine for 1/2months, then all of a suddon the screen backlight wouldnt go off, but a reset fixed it.
But it got worse and worse.
Now nothing will work...
Ive taken everything back to stock, and i mean EVERYTHING! Not a single app installed.
And I still have this problem. I've tried it all.
I think its a warrenty job....
EDIT:
I also noticed the backlight will go off fine when the phone is charging, is that the same for you?
I just sent the phone off to Tmob today, to see if they can fix/replace it.
I'll keep you informed.

Same problem. Was running fine on stock ROM 1.66 then backlight did not dim and would not go into standby. Put into standby, screen goes off then straight back on to the lock screen. Since then have had other problems at boot, sometimes it locks on HTC white screen needing battery removal, sometimes launches straight into Navipanel and will not exit, HTC sense homescreen sometimes launches in landscape and will not go into normal portrait mode. Reflashed with different ROM's same symptoms persist so have returned to Vodafone UK under warranty, fingers crossed.

i've had this on early versions of the rom i use, the chef fixed it, making me think its the software, not your phone.

I experienced this issue when I minimised a game called virtual pool. Closing it in task manager would then allow me to permanently make the phone sleep.

How come Ive still got the problem after reflashing several times and taking everything back to exactly as it came from the box?

I too have had the navi panel problem.
Im praying they fix mine under warrenty

Yes the problem is exactly what you describe, hard reset and flashing to a stock rom doesn t fix it with no programm running in the background
Navipanel seems to be on randomly sometimes so can I guess it could be related.
I found a fix, after starting the phone, plugging and unplugging the usb cable to the phone WHILE THE SCREEN IS ON fixes it but only until the next restart
Considering sending it for warranty now.
Thanks for replies! If anybody knows more let us know

Update re standby problem
Got my phone back from Vodafone UK today. Was advised software corrupted and that they had reflashed and it had been fully tested and was now working fine.
On power up (even without SD card or SIM) it had exactly the same fault as before, when put into sleep mode the screen comes back on after about 1 second.
I tried the plug in and remove USB lead fix and this also works for me until the next restart so it would seem that this must be a hardware problem.

Ive noticed allot more people getting this problem. So its not only us.
Tmob are replacing mine, so Im guessing its out of our control now.

did any of you guys try performing a task 29 in between flashing roms? it may help

Actually no, I overlooked it.
Probably would have been a good idea
Prehaps thats worth a try Mr Opr

Thanks for this workaround. Now with the urgency gone hopefully somebody finds a lasting solution without the need of sending it in..

I have same problem guys after 4 months using. ...and my HD2 is unusable with no standby. I mean battery gets weak during 2-3 hours. Whats your guess guys is it software problem. Cause Im afraid of this is hardware prob because after reset goes my device in wrong state.
Help!

Sadly I'm running into this same error with my t-mobile hd2....getting serious power drain...can anyone confirm if the task 29 helped at all? Mine won't stay off for more than 30 seconds.
** Found out the google easy sms beta app I was running had a service which was causing the app to come out of standby...uninstalling this app cured the problem.

For me, it was a sd slot problem. When i removed the sd card, phone always waked up after 0.5 seconds, and card was detected as bad.
Now the SD slot was changed (under guarranty) and it work fine, no wake up if sd slot is empty.

Any update on this? My HD2 starting doing this today as well
And I have no usb cable at work to 'trick' it. The only option is to pull the battery which I don't want to do. This is ridiculous. Am I going to have to hard-reset the damn thing to fix it?
FYI I didn't do *ANYTHING* to my phone in a couple of weeks (no new apps, etc.) and it started doing this out of the blue.
You hit the red 'end call' button and it goes black..then comes right back on.
The odd thing is it *thinks* its plugged in because the only screen setting I can get it to acknoweldge is the 'backlight level when charging'. So somehow my phone thinks its plugged in even though my only usb cable is back home.
Grrr. No registry tweaks or temp files I can delete to reset this behavior?

Screen Bug

Hey guys, I seem to have a problem with my A4g.
Basically, once in a while, the screen starts to press on its own. Usually towards the middle of the screen, so if i go to text message, keys such as "F" and "S" get rapidly hit on their own! Turning off and on the screen helps fix it, but sometimes i need to restart the phone altogether.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm on Gingerbread with Unlocked bootloader and rooted but this problem has been around since i got the phone.

we'll need to know a little bit of information on your phone.
are you running stock software? (for instance, i'm using Ninja Speed Freak 0.4.5 and Faux's custom OC kernel)
have you dropped your phone recently?
has your phone gotten any contact with water recently?
do you have any suspicious third party apps installed?

OMG! its like a spirited game!!!
Sometime it happens to me, the screen to become unresponsive..
And i turn of the screen and on and its gone.
The thing happened at you it happens only with raindrops.
And rarely FP sensor dont work, so i reboot..
Are you stock? Or on a custom rom probably ?

As i wrote in OP, i'm running on the AT&T Unlocked bootloader 2.3.4 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182526
This problem isn't due to the rom, it happened to me before the update too.
Ive only dropped this phone once since May and it was on carpet.

have you tried doing a factory reset? quick google search brought this up for me, but i'm not having the problem so i can't test it out myself for ya =\

That was the first method i tried 3-4 months ago with no luck.
I can't do that anymore because of the unlocked bootloader

Nexus 4 Random touches on its own

Hey All,
I have nexus 4.. I was on stock rom 4.4.2 and suddenly three days back my phone started to be weird.. I see randomn touches on my phone. ( i have enable option show touches in devloper options..)
I was using art runtime..
So when i press the power button and lock the phone twice then i unlock it runs normally..
But these started to occur very frequently..
When it happens it freezes my phone or you can say touchscreen doesnt work sometimes it just freezes..
So i decided to Factory rest my phone i thought it was some apps having bug..
But it was still happening..
So I finally installed Cm11 with the installer.. I still have the issue...
Any Solutions?
It first showed when i was charging my phone but later it happened when i was not even charging ..

This has happened to me before. Call Google to begin an RMA and replace your phone if you're still under warranty

Problem with samsung galaxy S3 Neo (Possibly display or gpu related?)

Hello, yersterday night my phone was working perfectly fine, but this morning when I woke up I saw the display turned pink with 4 black stripes, I cant post pictures links, but I uploaded it to imgur.com / gsiX0m0.jpg (no spaces)
So, I reseted the phone in case that would fixt but since then I cant access, when I press the central button the screen turns on perfectly fine with normal colors and the touchscreen working, but after 2 or 3 seconds the screen turns pink agai and I cant click on it, atfer turning pink it starts to fade it away slowly (or some times it just turns off and auto resets instantly) and I have to wait around other 10 minutes to be able to turn it on again for other 2 or 3 seconds.
Any idea what this could be?
Also my computer is not detecting it...
Thank you very much and I hope some one is able to help me.

Thats weird & sad. Did you manage to reset the phone? Are you rooted? Do you have xposed or any screen dimming app installed?

I think your gpu is damanged. If you still have warranty then send it back and let it repair.

xXPR0T0TYPEXx is probably correct, but i would recommend that you try another battery if you have one available before sending it back.

Nexus 4 screen freezes randomly, no reaction when touching.

Hi everyone!
So I just had this problem after I woke up yesterday. I googled a lot but only found similiar problems.
Let me tell you what happened chronologically:
After turning the phone on in the morning it started updating apps as if I was doing a firmware update: "updating apps 1 of 135" etc. Note that my nexus was already running on 5.1.1 and had the latest updates installed.
Now it randomly freezes the screen on whatever screen it was before it happens and it won't respond to any touch input. This can also happen when not using the phone, then it will freeze at the lockscreen (the time freezes with it so sometimes i can see at what time it froze). Also, it loses connection with Wi-Fi as i'm using Whatsapp Desktop when i'm on my laptop and it mentions me that my phone is not connected.
The only thing that "fixes" (temporarily) it is a reboot. Now sometimes, on the lockscreen, i can just hold the power button and the pop-up comes in to turn the phone of, which i can somehow just tap on an it responds by turning the phone off. But sometimes (less frequent than the latter mentioned) the pop-up doesn't come in and holding the power button for a few secs will do the trick.
I hope I informed you all enough and my end question is: does any of you know what this is? How i can fix it or what i can do to prevent it or anything as I am hopeless. (my G3 is up for reparation so this is my sisters old phone, i had a nexus 4 myself for 2 years before the G3).
Thanks in advance!!

The best way to test it is by reformat the OS.
I positively think that it will solve the problem.
Since the phone is no longer under warranty, I guess there is no harm to install custom rom on it. They are fast and stable too.
Hope this help. Good luck.

EXACT thing happened to me too. Backup your data and hard reset from recovery. This fixed it for me

Same problem here bro, but neither custom roms or factory reset helps.... Is there anyone who has successfully solved the problem ?

Then it's time to change the screen or phone. Looks like it is a hardware issue.

I agree, your screen needs to be replaced.
