Hi guys,
I've a very strange issue with my phone. l'll try to explain it precisely despite my awful english !...
I'm under revolution rom since the beginning and everything worked fine until I tried to use my phone as a modem (for a mac) during my hollidays.
when I go back to "normal" use, the phone started but the screen remained very very dark. I could see that the phone was turned on but it was like if the brightness has been set to minimum. I try to reboot into recovery, Re-flash the rom, restore a backup,etc.
One day, without any reason, the phone turned on normally and worked fine for two weeks. But, during the last night, I put my phone in plane mode and in the morning this ****ing bug was here again !
Any idea or solution ? Note that manipulations are limited because of the darkness of the screen...
hope also that my problem is understandable !!!...
Hi, your English is perfectly understandable.
Is your brightness set manually or automatically?
thank you,
the brightness is set automatically but I would be very surprised if my problem only deals with the brightness setting !....
I must add that sometimes the phone starts on normally but the screen freezes very quickly (at the code pin entering screen)...
I'm guessing you've tried switching to manual and turning it all the way up?
No I didn't...but the problem for now is that I can not access to the settings because the phone doesn't start normally !...
How does it start? Where do you get stuck?
Sometimes I can the HTC logo very dark and sometimes, as I said, the brightness is normal but the screen freezes when I have to tape my pin code.
I can also access the recovery mode, sometimes, by doing power button + vol. down button. By this way, I tried to reflash the rom, do a factory reset, but nothing works....
Whilst in the bootloader does the screen look darker there? Should be bright white, with text.
No, in the bootloader, I can see the text but it's also trough a darkened screen !...
If your screen is dark in the bootloader, which should be bright white then you have a hardware fault. Reflash a stock PD98IMG.zip or RUU and contact your network/HTC for a repair.

Hey guys so my Tilt 2 has been having an issue when I put it to sleep. It goes to sleep fine, but when I wake it up the screen remains black. The actual device turns on, but the screen stays black. I can still make calls, receive calls, play music, etc. but I have to soft reset the device if I want to be able to see what I am doing.
From what I can tell my problem is different from the normal Sleep of Death issue where the device simply won't wake up.
I've searched through the forums looking for solutions and have tried pretty much everything from doing a hard reset, using different roms, formatting the internal memory, etc. Even after doing all of this, my device still suffers from this issue.
Any insight into my problem would be greatly appreciated!
I assume you've tried a simple reset using the reset button or pulling the battery out and putting it back in?

Yeah every time I the screen goes black I soft reset it in order to get the screen to turn back on. The problem is that the issue persists through soft resets. I currently can't suspend my device because I can't get the screen to turn back on...
hold down the volume down button and then press the reset button (the physical reset button) this should bring you into your bootscreen the multicoloured screen.. if you can get there then you can flash a new rom on your phone... and thats a whole other ball game. It gets a lot of hype as being hard but its really super easy to do if you just follow the directions.
Tilt 2 dark screen solved
With the tilt 2, if the screen does not wakeup, but you can answer the phone, hear music, etc..., it is a malfunctioning light sensor, maybe hardware, or software related (drivers), but it is fixable. Just eliminate all calls for use of the light sensor.
I had this problem and took quite a while to figure it out, as there are several apps that poll the light sensor that cause problems.
First, go to start/settings/system/power/backlight and uncheck the auto adjust backlight option
Second, go to start/settings/personal/buttons/backlight and uncheck the enable keyboard auto backlight sensor.
Last, open advanced config (need to download and install from touchxperience.com, if you do not have it), tab to light sensor and set light sensor polling to disabled.
Now, my phone works normal and will wake up properly from standby like it should. this all seems hardware dependant, as I have in my family 3 of these things and I dropped and broke mine, so bought a new one (4th in the series) and it had the SOD issues, but could restart with softrest. Took me the better part of the day to find a reliable fix, but now all is well again.
Hope this helps other Tilt 2 and similar issues.
Hello, my Xperia Z5 Premium(E6853) has had some issues with it's screen recently. It started as a flickering of the brightness. I flashed a few different FTF files(The Austrian T-Mobile one and the generic Italian one) but the problem still persisted. The flickering was making the device near unusable out of annoyance. So I stopped using it and switched back to my Xperia z3 dual until I could find time to try and fix it. However now the display refuses to turn on at all. I reflashed the FTF file making sure to wipe everything but the screen still refused to turn on. What are my options in regards to fixing this situation.
I would prefer not to ship it all the way back to China if at all possible. I checked with Sony care CA and USA. Both are unable to help.
Hello, how did your screen flicker? Mine ( E6853) changes brightness weirdly when it is close to screen timeout locking, it's like normal brightness then high and then normal again. I am scarred it might end up like yours a possible fix might be disabling auto brightness, I will try it on mine and let you know.
About your os flash, try reflashing the original files if you saved then and also make sure you are not using the dual sim ftf on your single Sim.

I atempted to flash my original files, it did not help. The flickering was a 2-4 hz flicker, like a florescent bulb that is about to die. My Z5 also did the brightness changing thing that you described, however my D6503 and D6633 also do the same thing so I would not worry about that too much.
I turned off auto brightness and the problem disappeared. Try charging the phone for 30min then open the sim flap and you can see in the left a small white button press it for 2 minute and the phone should vibrate ignore the vibrations and keep the button pressed, after this try to power it on, this might help. You can also try the repair my phone in the software update tab on pc companion.

PC companion "repair my phone" does not work with modified software. I also tried holding the hard reset button down for 2 min, no change occurred. I contacted sony mobile UK and they said they would repair it out of warranty. At this time this is what I will probably do.
Hi all. I have a rather weird issue. After droping(oops) my phone, I ordered a new lcd. I shelved the phone as it was unusable until the screen arrived. When the screen arrived, I saw that the battery was dead. I charged it and changed the lcd. That's for the backstory. Fast forward to now. When I open the phone, the screen lights up at full brightness as one would expect at the android one logo. It stays there at full brightness for about 8secs But as soon as it starts loading android the screen dims to absolute dark. In the beginning I thought the phone was closing, you can't see anything... Unless you close the lights.
But even in absolutely dark room, the screen is still very dim, barely discernible. The phone works absolutely fine otherwise, touch camera sound etc. I backtracked the process and put it's original screen on, but it does the same.
I tried disabling auto brightness it does nothing. In fact, changing brightness from the slider does absolutely nothing whatsoever.
Tried calibrating the sensors from the engineering menu(not sure it was called that, the one you enter when you put numbers on the call menu) they seem to be working, but the brightness doesn't change.
Tried removing the battery for a prolonged amount of time (around 6 hours iirc). Still same.
At this point i'm thinking:
1)Software problem. I will really need to hard reset the whole thing, which i'd rather not, and hope for the best.
2)Bad screen, which doesn't explain why the previous one has the same problem, or why the screen works during the logo.
I hope I was able to give enough info. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi, I'm having almost the same issue (display very dim, but for me it is always very dim) and this manifested not after any dropping or screen replacement, I guess I just wrongly inputed a button sequence that configured the mobile in this weird status. It is really annoying as it is almost impossible to unlock sims, basically the phone is unusable, very frustrating....
Hey there, did anyone found a solution for this issue?
Has anyone solved this problem?
Have you found what was causing this?
I’ve the same issue, replaced the lcd on a xiaomi mi a1 and the backlight is present at the logo startup but completely black after that.[br]
On a dark room I can barely see the screen and all it’s working, but adaptive light button is missing, seems like the bootloader is able to use the backlight but not android itself
I have the exact same problem, i really hope someone knows a solution to this. I tried pretty much anything within my capabilities
Hi guys, yesterday I worked on the phone and from one moment to another it went Black, I restarted it and when it turned on the image began to flash, I managed to put it in 60hz and 144hz and it was worse, when I entre the recovery mode it is seen without no problem, will it be a problem With the rom? Or screen died, if someone knows something ir would be very helpful, thanks!!
PD: when I adjust the brightness it works well, but once locked or opening some camera-like app it goes black and doesn't turn back on.
Hi,
I recently clean flashed Pixel Experience 12 plus rom on my Oneplus 5T (dumpling).
(file: PixelExperience_Plus_dumpling-12.1-20220614-1354-OFFICIAL.zip , source : https://download.pixelexperience.org/dumpling )
After that I am facing a serious issue regarding the display.
After screen is locked (by pressing the power button or using tap to sleep feature or screen time out), it does not light up at the time and after unlocking. The screen remains black. But it does not mean that the display is gone or the phone is turned off. Phone works perfectly fine at that stage except the issue. The touch, vibration, sound effects,locking-unlocking (through fingerprint), taking screen shot, notification and call facility etc. works normally.
Sometimes the screen flashes for some millisecond if I try to unlock it repeatedly but it is visible only in the dark room.
To get rid of this state I have to boot the phone in recovery (Orangefox) mode then turn it on or force restart the phone (force restart does not work every time. When it does not work the boot screen also remains black)
Surprisingly, I do not face the problem in fastboot mode or recovery mode. Also when Always On Display is on, I don’t face the black screen issue.
I have followed instructions mentioned in this page https://telegra.ph/How-to-install-Pixel-Experience-11-25
and flashed firmware.zip (whose link is provided on the page) and PE12 plus rom .
Please help to resolve this issue and let me know if you need any further information.
Thank you..
I have got the same issue on my MI A2. after replace display I worked fine with pixel experience. and I moved to stock firmware. that is got the same problem. how to solve that issue?
