This has been like this for a couple of months and I have no idea why.
When I turn on my phone it vibrates, then loads into Android but nothing is on the LCD. It makes sounds and lights up, but nothing shows on the screen.
Could this be a hardware or software problem?
Thanks!
is it rooted and what rom are you running if you are rooted.

I have a Tmobile HTC TP2 flashed with Energy Rom and it had been working fine for several weeks. Today the screen randomly turned off and the red light was on. I couldn't soft reset or anything, but removing the battery and putting it back and powering up worked. However, it only stays on for about a minute before the screen turns black again with the red light coming back on. Anyone know what is going on or how to fix this??

Red light ... do you mean the left hand light? That one is orange on my TP2. Is the unit hot to the touch on the back panel?
Yes the left hand light...after looking at it again it does appear to be orange, not red. The back panel does not feel hot, and when the screen goes black, the orange light appears to flicker a little bit as if there may be some kind of power issue or something (but is mainly solid orange like it is when it's charging), I'm not sure. I don't believe it's a problem with the actual battery, because I've tried using a different battery and have gotten the same results.
Edit: It is now staying on longer maybe a few hours compared to the minute or so it was staying on yesterday, but with the same turning off problems. Except I think it is just the screen that is turning off because if I play with the volume buttons, eventually I can hear the volume up/down sounds.
After searching through some forums, it seems it could be a 'Sleep of Death' problem...
My phone just started acting up really weird. Whenever I would graze the power button (not even when I push it in all the way) the screen would lock and sometimes immediately turn back on. Some times the power menu would come up. Other times it would just restart and go into this weird loop where the screen would be black, the phone vibrates, and the LED just flashes. Does anyone know what I should do about this? I was using CM9, but this happened pretty randomly so I don't think its a software issue.

Try flashing a different ROM. There may a bug or something on that ROM that could be doing that.

You just got a malfunction power button. It happens a lot. You need to call samsung/tmobile for warranty service.

So I just got my galaxy s3 friday, and I recently rooted it and I have the Jellybean747 Graystone ROM on it. I don't know if this is a ROM-specific issue, or just a device problem.. I searched the forums and Google and couldn't find anyone else with the problem.
Randomly, my phone screen will go black, and the buttons light up, but the phone works. I can lock my phone and hear sounds from it, like the water sound from the lock screen when you touch it. Even the LED is working. But the buttons won't turn off. Even when it's locked and I wait past my button-timeout time. After some time, it will go unresponsive and not make any noise, but the buttons will still be lit up. The only way for me to shut it off is to take out the battery or hold the power button.
When I restart the phone, it works fine, like nothing ever happened.
This has only happened to me twice, once after I hung up from a call and once after I locked my phone after I sent a text.

I've been having the same issue. I'm not sure if my phone is the problem or the ROM that I am using. I even switched roms and i still get the same problem. I have no idea what causes it but usually I'll be on the phone and when i try to hang up the screen stays black but the hardware keys are still lit up and i can touch the screen and it vibrates. Sometimes it just happens when i unlock my phone and check something and then lock it. I try to unlock it with my home button and power button and the screen stays black with the hardware keys lit up and i can even slide across my lockscreen since it vibrates. When i lock my screen and turn it on again it works normally. I was running paranoidkangdroid and currently i'm running pacman rom the 1/22 version with the stock kernel.
I too just started having this issue. Was running Quantum 3.56. I think it may have started happening after an update, but now after installing an older version I still have this problem. Hopefully someone can find a fix.
Ive been using my phone for a month now, as I'm on a 2 year contract with my service provider. I have not dropped nor physically damaged my phone. But when I try powering on my phone. It doesnt turn on. Only way is to restart it. And even after doing so, the screen becomes unresponsive after a short while. The green notification light still blinks, sound works. its just the screen. Help! and is there anyone else having the same problem??

Well, i have partially the same problem as yours...the screen blank but when you press the power button, only the capacitive button lights on..and i believe the screen is working just doesnt showing any display....someone said to me its a motherboard problem and the only way to fix this is returning your HOX for a replacement...if you still have warranty of course...if not, the cost is
Hi guys, having some trouble with my tablet. Started out of nowhere, but the screen doesn't light up until the device has been fully restarted, in which case once you lock the screen, the problem starts all over again and I have to restart it again. It also lights up when the device is off and the power cord is plugged in, but only briefly. Once it goes away, I can't use the power button or anything else to check the status of charging, only thing that works is unplugging it and plugging back in. It's still sensitive to the touch, there's haptic feedback, capacitive buttons work, it just stays black most of the time. Has anybody else had this issue and knows how to fix it? It came out of nowhere, the device is not rooted, haven't dropped it or anything. Thanks in advance
