Is this a known bug?
When I use the power management widget and toggle the screen brightness to the lowest. Then when I go to stand-by (by clicking powerbutton or automaticly) and try to activate the phone again the screen stays black (touch buttons light up but I can't use them).
I have to take out the batterie and reboot to get the screen back...
I'm so happy to see this.
I have exactly the same problem. My Wildfire S arrived this afternoon. I used it without any problems until about 22.30, then all of a sudden it wouldn't get out of standby anymore. The only way to get it working again is indeed by removing the battery for a second.
I did a factory reset (through the general phone menu) and now the problem has disappeared, but it could come back any second.
Other people experiencing the same problem?
This is a phone bought in the Netherlands where I live by the way, the black Wildfire S.
I had the same problem.
I had my wildfire s mount to usb... and using the navigon software while driving... then suddenly went to black screen with the keys activated.
I tried to enable the screen but with no luck.
When I unplugged the usb...I push the power button... and suddenly it came back to normal.
!!
very strange.
well... I found a sort solution for this.
If you do what you said.... the only way to enable it again is to plug a usb...and unplugged it.

The bug starting when we enable the lowest brightness!!!!!!!
I'm having the same problem. If you don't set the brightness to the lowest, it won't happen. So, this will be consideration between stability and use duration
Just the Backlight is turned off.
I have the same problem. Use an external light source and bring light to your wildfire S and you'see it is still alive. If you are able to find your brightness settings using the flashlight, increase it and you will have your old display again... It is definetly a bug.
Hi,
so any news on this bug or whether htc is doing something about it?
Just got my WF S with the most recent software and still has this bug which is very annoying. Would be great to be able to use lower backlight for nights/less battery!!
UPDATE: using continuous lightness, I found that whenever I choose light lower than 12% it stays dark and has the bug, please HTC do something about it!!!
Has this been fixed in a custom rom or does it presist in all roms?
I had it on original and custom (CM7.2) ROMS.
Think this is general bug, too bad. or someone does NOT have this bug??
I have this bug too. But u can Try to Pull the ring in the middel, Then the Screen shoudl appear again.
I do not have this bug.
Stock European ROM 2.3.5, jikantarus OC Kernel, BL unlocked and rooted
Since moving to Gingerbread I have had a consistent issue with my proximity sensor when placing and receiving calls.
When I answer/press send the screen immediately goes black. The only way to turn the screen back on is to press the power button to unlock the screen. The only way to turn off the screen is to lock the screen again.
This occurs with auto brightness on or off. With auto brightness on I can see the screen changing brightness levels.
Easy fix: go back to froyo
Actual fix: unknown?
does anyone know of a fix or have a similar issue?
I'm running the 8/12 build of jmz's primoC CM9. The backlight on my softkeys don't seem to be lighting up properly. When I go into settings and toggle my brightness off auto, the softkeys light up, but then they don't come back on while using the phone. When I toggle to auto, the softkeys turn off. Seems backwards...? I'm kinda stumped. Tried out Lux brightness and it seemed to fix the issue, but if I reboot the phone it gets confused again. Not a big deal during the day, but at night it's annoying to not be able to see these keys.
Anyone else having this issue? Thanks.
Having some music issues since upgrading to 4.2 using Bigxie's stock rom
-When you change the volume, the screen turns on. I have double twist on the lock screen, and swiping it changes the song. I'm constantly changing the song accidentally because the screen keeps coming on. Any way to fix that?
-Sometimes I get a warning about turning the volume being too high (which it isn't, just the song it quiet). Is there a way to disable that warning?
Never had these issues in 4.1
Thanks.
Any Ideas?
Do people on the stock 4.2 experience the screen turning on?
So, we upgraded to 4.2.1 with this rom by manumanfred.
We're still having the volume screen wake problem.
Any suggestions?

I found a post about this, but it didn't work

Hey folks,
I have two problems with my good old M9.
It runs completely stock Android 6.0.
1. After changing the volume, the volume bar remains and doesn't automatically swipe out after a few seconds. I have to touch the display anywhere to make the bar disappear. I think the problem came after the last update, but I am not 100% sure. Any1 having this problem, too, and maybe solved it?
2. For some time now, the upper flashlight LED flickers when I turn on the flashlight.
Don't know if it affects the flash when taking a photo.
Is there a way to fix this or do I have to live with it?
Thanks in advance
