Screen blacks out while charging. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else have this issue? I couldn't find anything on it. As long as I'm charging, my screen constantly turns black. Only locking, then unlocking will turn the screen back on, but it usually just goes black again.
This only happens while charging. Stock Froyo, but happened just as common with 2.1.
Any insight is appreciated.

it sounds like it is just timing out like when you have it unplugged correct?
if you want to make it so your screen stays on while charging go to settings>applications>development> check stay awake
If i am totally off on what you are asking can you be more specific about the problem.

Thank you. I do have it set to stay awake. The screen turns black, but actions can be taken (just can't see what actions). So if I hit the lock button and hit it again, it will turn back on for a split second and then go black again. It is very strange.

i have the same problem and it has nothing to do with the timing on the phone, it turns off but u can still hear the "click" when u touch the phone, supposedly a few phones have had the same problem and is a problem with the connection that the chargin port is deffective or something like that, the best thing you can do is return the phone to where you purchased it from and tell them you have a defective unit, there is nothin you can do about it

[Q] Screen not fully turning off

Hey folks, I've noticed an issue with my One V (CDMA/PrimoC). Sometimes when I press the power button to turn the screen off, it doesn't fully shut off. In very low light, I can see that there's still a faint glow behind the screen. It doesn't happen often (that I can tell) but I have had some crazy battery drain randomly and this might explain it. My phone is bootloader unlocked, rooted and this issue has occurred on various ROMs (I noted it at least on the stock rom and on shubhamchamaria's nON-sENsE rom v1.1 which I'm currently using).
Has anyone else noticed this happening? If you have, do you know of a fix?
Probally the backlight leakage issue, which means you will have to make it all stock again and send it back to HTC. This is a known hardware problem.

When I turn my phone off, the screen seems to also stay on but it is hardly noticible and turns itself off later

I'm not sure if mine eventually turns itself off but it definitely doesn't turn off at 1 minute like it should normally.

[Q] How to prevent LCD from turning on everytime I charge??

How do I prevent the screen from turning on everytime I plug it into the charger, remove it, or it gets to 100%?
I plug it in all the time and I always have to turn the screen off or suffer the wrath of screen timeout. When I unplug to place it in my pocket, again, I must turn the screen off, WHY? The s3 comes with an LED indicator for a reason, so we don't have to have the screen on. WHO IS THIS FOR EXACTLY?!?!
I know this isn't the end of the world but it's annoying as hell! - I can't be the only one can I?
Plug it in.. press lock... it's one button press man.
Wrath of Screen Timeout? Explain?

Technically it's several presses a day. This is a legitimate question that I think a lot of people would at least be interested in. I know a lot of people have learned to live with it by now but we should have the option by now. I mean come on, is this Android or isn't it?

Just a spicy way of saying wait for the screen to turn off by itself. Any ideas?

I agree with you. Its really annoying. Ive been able to disable the screen turning on when unplug but havent been able to get it to stay off when plugging in. BTW this is on CM10.
How often do you charge your phone that you're pressing the button several times a day? I plug it in at night, ok good my alarms on, press off. Unplug it in the morning, oh new emails, unlock, etc, press off.
I don't think anyone has coded it out yet because it's not very noticeable. I spent some time searching but couldn't find anything, complaints or otherwise. Maybe try posting in a custom ROM and seeing if any of those guys have ideas? Anyways, free bump..
Screen Blanks off when charging/laid down

Go to the market and D/L Screebl (Screen Blank)
I set it for min and after 4 secs the screen blanks off. If I have the phone in a using/upright position, It will not go off...
Very Simple and useful app. The portrait and landscape settings are user adjustable. Try it. You'll like it!
Awesome suggestions guys, thank you so much! I'll be in Ohio for a few days but when I get back I'll try some of these out, Thx again.

I'll be testing some ideas I have. It might be hidden in the services.jar or framework.jar.

It's a lot to check. There are three .jar files I have decompiled. And there are hundreds of files that I have to go through.

Just a thought, what about using the proximity sensor to keep the screen off? I leave my phone screen down when it's charging and when you unplug it it's most likely going in your pocket right?

It still turns on. :\ it's like a wake lock. However it does shut off right away if the sensor is covered

Screen turning on automatically?

I noticed that sometimes when I use the power button to turn off my screen, after 1-2secs later, the screen turns back on again automatically on its own. Happened quite a few times Already. Anyone with the same experience?
Haven't seen it happen.
Not seen this personally but there were some occasions when I picked up the phone and the screen was on. I'd assume I'd accidentally pressed the power button when picking it up.
Didbyou enable some options in S-Motion? Some of those options will turn screen on.

It happens mostly after a new app installation. The app is usually a spam and hence it keeps on turning the screen. Try to figure it own by removing apps one by one ever since the problem started.

Yes I think this could happen when "Quick Glance " is enabled. A few days ago, I was cleaning with a cloth the screen of my Note 2 and the screen went on (I haven't pressed accidentally the power button of my phone)

No no its not quick glance.. It's almost like my power buttonmay be too ssensitive. And the screen typically turns on just 1-2secs after I turn off the screen manually. Doesn't happen frequently but still about once a day?

Have you installed any app like Pocket Sensor?
I use this amazing app, which can behave like this sometime when anything overshadows the proximity sensor.

I had exactly the same issue and maybe it's coincidence but the issue went away after I disabled Quick Glance. Been over a week now and this used to happen at least once a day.

I have EXACTLY..this problem.. it happens a few times a week to me.. Quite annoying sometimes.
I've been suspecting that its because of a application, namely, Kakao-talk, which is a IM application. I can't really recall my screen turning on suddenly when using any other app, but I will wait and see if it happens outside of Kakaotalk.
If the problem persists, i might hand it in to service...
its quite annoying sometimes. I have heard of other people having the same problem though...
i noticed my my galaxy nexus after updating to 4.2 buring more oil ! than 4.12 and i was wondering why

Had this problem occassionally on Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. As far as I recall, this is android bug, sometimes triggered by third party apps. Google 'screen turning on by itself' to find out more.

[Q] Screen stays on whild phone off and charging

Im having a problem on my recently rooted/unlocked/updated to 4.1.2 Op G.
The screen stays on continuously while phone is off and plugged in. I checked developer options and screen options and time outs are all set to 30 seconds.
Anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix anywhere?
I also find that the charging animation comes on if i hit the power button while the phone is off and charging but eventually it goes away and the screen stays on.
Also if the phone/screen are both off and then I plug in the phone the screen comes on and stays on.....
help?
I have this too. When I turn the phone off and charge it you can see the screen is barely lit. I noticed it when I unlocked, so assume that is the cause of it

Miners done this for as long as I can remember, but it doesn't seem to cause any sort of problems, so I've always just ignored it

saw this as recently as last night. I just waited until the battery was charged a little and turned it on to make sure everything was fine. Weirded me out though lol.

Build.prop for on screen buttons aren't working for me

I typed in the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0, saved, rebooted, and nothing happened. I even type in "#" in front of the back, home, and menu keys in the build props in the other files. Still nothing.
I'm on 4.4.4, in case that might have something to do with anything. Any other way I can get the on screen buttons?

Nvm, I just changed my battery to the OEM one I have, and all of a sudden the on screen buttons appeared when I turned my phone on. I didn't even know that's what the problem was. Anyone know why that might be.
I had a ravpower battery in it, just to let you guys know.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app
Update: pulled the OEM battery, and put the ravpower battery back in, and the on screen buttons stayed on!
Hmmm....weird that it took me to change the battery for the on screen buttons to appear....very random. Oh well, it works, and I couldn't be happier. I love these on screen buttons.
In case anyone else had the same problem as me, try changing batteries, or maybe just pulling it, then reinstering, and see if that does the trick.
