I have an annoying problem with my HD Mini.
While talking on the phone the screen goes black which is normal and useful property. But my phone does not wake up, especially at darker conditions. It doesn't wake up even I press any button on the phone (stand-by button, volume button, home, back etc.)
For example, when i call someone in a dark place and the voicemail answered the phone, i couldn't hang up the phone because the screen doesn't come back and none of the buttons work. In this case, the only solution is either to remove the battery or place the phone under bright light to hang up the phone.
I've tried touch in call screen tweak but it doesn't work on my hd mini.

Can somebody please help me???

that's normal behaviour of proximity sensor,anyway you can hang up by pushing the hard button
what you have said is one of the main problems since the telephone doesn't wake up even i press the hard buttons.

hmmm that's weird..
i read somewhere here on forum that a guy had the same problem and he just opened up the phone(not only battery cover) and cleaned the proximity sensor of dust and then everything worked as it should.
btw..i tested last night in dark to place a call in dark room,and when i put the phone away from my ear backlight was on ,so it should be on even in dark room...
p.s. be sure u didnt install any app which has option to change settings of sensor,like CHT
I will try to open up the phone and clean the proximity sensor.
But this still doesn't explain the wake-up failure even i press the hard buttons. Is there a setting about this issue which disables the hard buttons while talking?
here is the post of guy who had this problem on the same phone and he solved by cleaning the sensor

It's been three days since I have a small bug sometimes.
Sometimes when I press the button to turn on my device the phone wake up (the buttons light up) but the screen sty off... The only thing I can do is a softreset and then everything is all right...
Does someone have the same problem and is ther a fix?
Thanks for the answer
Happens to me sometimes too
I guess the ROM is not 100% stable yet... Let's pary 6.5 will be out soon ! (With TF3D 2.5 or even better with the new sense interface !)
same problem here, if he stays off you can hear de volume butons if you press them so it is only the screen or something.
also when i slide out the keyboard, the screen is rotating realy slow and bit by bit. hope for a soon spl and custom (nrg) rom

Have this too, sometimes. I thought it was due to WAD which sometimes uses way too much CPU.
But the screen not comming off is really annoying! And I don't know why this happens.
I removed SPB Pocket Plus and did not experience this problem again - I think it's just coincidence, but still... You could try!
UPDATE
It seems to happens very very more often if I use the camera apps.

Text msg wont wake up phone
Is this normal? when I receive a text msg, the phone doesnt wake up. My TyTN II woke up when a text msg came through
Seems the TP2 also has a "grip of death" of sorts. Basically if you hit the Volume Buttons on the side of the devise and touch the screen, it automatically activates the Screen align util and until you complete the Screen align to the devices satisfaction, You are stuck there.
Basically this translates to any time you use the Volume Buttons while holding the phone to your face, It activates the Screen Align Util. (At least that is what happens to me about 10 times a day)
Does anyone know of a way to deactivate this "Feature/Major Annoyance"?
Thanks
mine does not do this. i suspect something is wrong with your device.
This also does not happen with my phone, just tested it out. Even called myself at work. Are you using a cooked ROM or stock? I am using stock ROM from AT&T
Try again. Hit both Volume Buttons (Simultaneously) on the side of the phone and tap the screen, It will start up the align screen until every time. I have verified that this VZN and Sprint TP2`s. It may be a CDMA thing but this feature is designed into the phone (And it sucks!).
Anyone know of a way to disable this?
mine does that from time to time, but I never figured out what causes it, but, you are right it is ANNOYING when it happens.
Cooked rom, if it makes any difference.
Hi all,
Confirmed on UK TP2 - stock WM6.5 ROM, no special apps etc installed. Had to soft reset to get out from a mixed screen align/text message app screen.
No looping align screen after reset - but annoying. Best suggestion (without being sarcastic!) - don't press both volume buttons at once, seems to be a way into a "fix the problem" mode for those with grossly un-aligned screens. How else could you get into align screen to fix the problem? ... aka "feature not a bug".
adam.
both volum buttons?
under what scenario are you hitting both volum buttons at the same time, with enough force to depress them, and touching the screen? I tried doing this on purpose and its almost impossible to do with intention much less on accident. you would have to be gripping your phone with massive, angry, force. maybe the fix is to stop talking to whomever it is that is pissing you off.
in anycase, i still could not get this replicated on the tmobile tp2. of course i am using the fastest and most stable rom provided for this phone: stock wm 6.1 with tf3d. so maybe its a feature of 6.5.x and some rendition of sense 2.x
Hold the Phone in your left hand. In my case my Thumb naturally rests on the Volume Buttons. My Thumb covers both Volume buttons. Now if I get a call and the phone against my Face and I attempt to adjust the volume with my Thumb (By rocking my Thumb up or down), Sometimes I manage to accidentally hit both. If that happens, The Screen align will start up every time because the screen is already touching my face.
I have talked with many other TP2 owners that have this same problems however they did not know what was causing it. All they knew was the Screen align kept starting up randomly.
Back to.. Is it possible to disable this? Maybe even assign a different key combination to start the screen align util such as Vol Down and endcall or something. It is too easy to accidentally press both volume buttons if you are on a call. If you do that while the phone is touching your face, the screen align will start and the phone is now locked until you get out the stylus and go through the realign.
My screen's backlight would not work after i press the sleep button.It would respond because as I randomly scroll through the screen I can feel the vibration of the touchflo and if i hold the phone up steady in a certain area with enough ligh such as the glare of the sun I can partially see the screen but its very hard. Only after i reset it the screen would come back in and the backlight would work until it goes into sleep mode after being inactive. I have tried installing a new Rom but it still didnt solve the problem. What do I do to repair this? I was assuming it was the flex but then I thought if it was the flex the screen would not work at all ? Can somebody help me

I'm assuming you aren't asking where the backlight controls are. It seems like you're saying that the backlight simply doesn't come back on after putting the device to sleep.
If you are flashing custom ROMs, preform a task29 (search) and then re-flash the device. If this doesn't fix the problem (make sure you test it before installing anything.), flash the latest stock ROM and see if it continues. If so, see about a warranty repair/exchange.
If this is on a stock ROM, re-flash the latest stock ROM and see if this behavior continues. Test it before installing anything. If it doesn't clear up, ask your carrier about a repair or exchange.
Everytime I boot my phone up, it works fine up until when the screen goes into sleep mode. Once it goes into sleep mode I cannot turn the screen back on, it stays black. The keyboard, end and answer key lights show up when I press the power button but the screen just stays black no matter what button I press.
I end up having to either take the battery out or using the stick to press the reset button on the side in order to get the phone to where I can see the screen again. I have adjusted the settings to where the screen doesnt go into sleep mode and the screen just stays on but that drains my battery. I want to be able to have my screen go off so I can save power but if it goes off it wont come on again until I reboot.
I have done a hard reset. This problem started happening to me when I started using the Energy Rom but I've even flashed different Roms and the problem still exist.
Somebody please tell me what's wrong! I need help! This is a big annoying problem to have. Thanks.
is this problem occurring when you slide the keyboard out?
i had the t-mobile touch pro2 with this problem.
the screen would die when the keyboard was out and not come back.
if this is the case, what i did was...
well. obviously not open the keyboard fully.
but if i accidentally had.
instead of pulling out the battery, i waited...
till the screen 'naturally' went to sleep.
than i would pull out the stylus or press power button
and the screen would come on.

Yes the problem still exist even when I slide the keyboard out. Once the screen goes off, that's it....pressing the power button to get it out of sleep mode, sliding the keyboard, I press all buttons and nothing works. The only thing that "works" to get the screen back on is removing the battery or using the stylus to press the reset button.
When sliding the keyboard out the keys light up but the screen doesn't come on, also pressing the power button lights up the end and answer keys without the screen coming on.

so. whenever the screen goes out, period, you cant get it back?
or the screen goes out and cant get it back once you slide the keyboard out?
if it is only when sliding out the keyboard...
try not opening the keyboard fully on the right side.
on my rhodium, after that point, the screen goes out.

Yes, period. Also, you know when you put your face to the phone during a call and the screen goes off so your face wont press anything on the screen? It doesn't come back on from that either once I end the phone call, it just stays black. I'm assuming you don't have any other suggestions. This Sucks

This has to be a software issue but I don't know where to start. I'm surprised nobody else has encountered this problem. I've grown frustrated of this issue because I don't understand why it's doing this. I have had the phone for almost 6 months only dropping it once 4 months ago and it wasn't a strong damaging drop that would affect anything inside. I guess I'll just have to go last resort and call warranty to swap the phone out. Thanks for the help.
Same problem

My phone also dos not come back on, when I put it in out the sreen with the power button on top, or when the phone goes to sleep. Nothing can put it back on(opening te keyboard, pulling out the stylis, presing the answer-, windows-, back- and end button). I and up using a music players too keep the phone busy what's makes it operational. Cant really remember when this started happening exactly. My phone is at the moment loaded with a standard ROM. I used too have a custom ROM.
My TP2 does this too, although I only encounter the problem sometimes when someone calls. I answer and put the phone next to my ear, the screen goes black as it should and the phone just dies. I can't hear what the other person is saying and the screen wont turn on anymore. I have to take out the battery to reboot.
set light sensor to manual in settings. You have some bad or fragmented code causing the problem. Pretty common actually, many different reasons, but usually either a bad light or proximity sensor or software issue. Setting the sensor to manual should do it, if not, hard reset and allow the phone to fully set up before touching it, to allow full customization process to complete. Search my posts on SOD (sleep of death) for more information.
Funny this was brought up. Now im worried I just dropped 250.00 and have a new one coming.
Mine started with the ear piece quit working. couldnt hear anything except on speaker.
Anyway I started having the screen issue over a month ago, only way to get it back was soft reset with the stylus. Also when the screen was lit, I couldn't hit the power button to turn the screen off. At times the screen would be on 24/7 and I just dealt with it. The times when it decieded to go to sleep was when I needed the soft reset. Well long story short I forgot my charger one day at work and the battery died. after pressing the power button for hours with no response, moving the screen in all diffrent directions as I pressed the button.It came on once after hrs of messing with it. Well today it died again and I am fed up with it so out came the tools. Once I opened it up I noticed the ribbon that feeds the screen from the mother board was worn and torn. the ribbon slides everytime the keyboard is slid out and it rubs on both sides of the phone. I thought maybe mine was just a fluke and was installed wrong considering the phone being 10 months old but now I read this and see maybe its a common problem. The cheapest I could find the Ribbon was 56.00 so I didnt want to chance it not being the issue.
i think my light sensor is messed up. when i make a call the screen immediately turns off as if its pressed against my face. and its almost impossible to get the screen to come on until the other person hangs up and ends the call. pressing the power button doesnt bring the screen on but sometimes the home button does bring the homescreen up but if i click on the dialpad the screen turns off again because it thinks its against my face. the way i get the screen on to make the dialpad to appear is turning on a light and holding the light sensor against it and the screen comes on. the samsung rom and the aosp roms do the same thing so its not rom related. but atleast the samsung rom had the option to turn the light sensor off for phone calls but i dont think the pacman rom has this option. does paranoid, aokp, or cyanogenmod have a feature for this so i can make phone calls, or is there any apps out there anyone can point me to to help me out? i think this will be the last samsung phone, to many problems. this is my 2nd note and it doesnt work now
anyone?
