[Q] Screen wont turn on after it turns off. ATT Tilt 2

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.

[Q] keep screen off during a call?

does anyone know of a way or an app to keep the screen off and stay off during a call unless i hit the button to turn the screen on? the proximity sensor sucks and at least once a week i end up muting someone with my cheek without knowing it and it ends up being the 2 of us screaming "CAN YOU HEAR ME?!??! HELLO!??!? HELLO!!??!?!" ... as a matter of fact my girlfriend has it way worse with her g2. her proximity sensor is horrible and she's always putting me on hold, mute or hanging up on them.
my ideal situation (and i will love you forever if you tell me a way or an app to do this) would be if the screen turns off and stays off when on a call, but when you hit the screen on button, it bypasses the lock screen (a totally unnecessary step when you're in a call and would have had to hit a physical button on the top of the phone itself to get the screen on) and turns the screen on, ready to do whatever it is you need to do in the middle of a call.
thanks everyone.

Yeah, hit the power button once and the screen will turn off during your call.

but won't my face going against and away from the sensor eventually make the screen turn back on at some point? i haven't specifically monitored my attempts to try that, but i'm sure i've done it before and it didn't last thru the call. or it did one time and not another or something.

Works for me.

just tried that today and as soon as you take the phone away from your face the screen comes back on (so if you moved it away for a second then back, you've got a phone with a turned on screen right up against your face)

I have the same problem. I do it all the time. Suddenly can't here someone only to realize they are on hold. I'd love some sort of solution or work around as well.

[Q] Phone locks then screen turns on immediately after

Running DK28 with Bonsai4All 2.0.
For awhile my phone was fine but just recently it's started acting up. When I hit the lock button my screen turns off and the phone locks, but then the screen immdiately turns back on and goes to the lock screen instead of just staying off, so I have to hit the lock button again to turn the screen off.
Any solutions? Thanks.

Sorry I don't have a solution, just thought you'd feel a little better knowing I have this annoying problem as well. Mine also decides to turn on sometimes if I touch the camera button while I'm removing it from my holster. I'm using Simply AOSP DK28.

I also have the same problem

I had this same problem on my stock Eclair, so not sure what causes it.

[Q] In call screenlock possible?

My old Note 2 turned the screen of while a call was in progress but the Note 4 doesn't and I can't find a setting to make it happen. Anybody know if it's possible to get the screen turned off during calls- and if so, where do I find that setting?
Thanks!

It looks like that setting is now removed. Might be due to the fact Samsung is trying to market the phone to a wider market.
But you can turn off the screen with the power button.
Or if you have a flip case it will turn off the screen like how it does with proximity sensor. There was a proximity option in the note 2 as well they seem to have removed that too.

Thank you- appreciate the info! Wish they woulda left that stuff in but I will train myself to power the screen down now.

That is strange, my Note 4 shuts the screen off when I am on the phone..

Mine as well.. just tested.. called my phone and answered. While the call was active i put the phone to my ear and then pulled it away. When the pho e was withing 2 inches or so to my ear the screen shut off. When i pulled it away from my ear i could see the screen come back on. Tried multiple times with same result.

I never paid attention to this feature since I always had it with my previous phone and with the Note 4 it wasn't an issue for the first couple months. So it must've been activated but now it is not. Gotta find that mystery setting!

I find that if I have Bluetooth connected, the screen will not turn off in-call. But the screen will turn off in-call if my Bluetooth is not connected.

I changed nothing and the screen is locking now. I got no explanation for that.

I'm having the issue where my proximity sensor appears to just not be working.
I can lay the phone on a table and make a call out. The second I hit call the phone goes black. Take my hand away, nothing. The only way to bring the screen back up is to press the home or power button. Problem there is, the screen never blacks out. I can put my hand over the sensor, nothing. Unless I hit a button again.

Home Button

hi guys, does any one else experience this problem..
i usually wake the phone up with the home button, but sometimes i press it, the image will pop up and then close and it will be asleep again, it will keep doing this for a while, but then a couple of hours later it will be fine..
ive experience this a number of times, abit annoying but the power button is there so not a major issue

Using: stock lockscreen with picture. Happened here as well, triggering the home button works for me.

I also have same problem sometime. Not a big deal, just an annoyance.

glad im not the only one..haha

quite the same
This really bothers me, so does the absence of the amazon feedback or technical support.

I don´t think this is a problem caused by the home button.
I guess this comes from the proximity sensor under the front camera.
Cover it and it will be the same.
Sometimes i had the same problem in an dark environment with an screen protector at the phone.
Changing the screen protection worked for me.

I have the same problem. My phone is still in the clear plastic to protect as I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the device. My home button has never worked to awake the device.

The plastic protective cover is causing this.
