I'm currently on cm72-111128.2017-NIGHTLY-Defy.
Everything works fine except that recently I notice sometimes after I turn off the screen with power button the four function buttons are still bright (technically it's three b/c the search button seemed to be broken a week ago). And that might be the reason that occasionally the battery drains too fast.
My ways to solve the issue: 1) reboot; 2) go to Device settings - Button brightness and adjust the brightness level to whatever level and then back to the previous level you've set.
I know this might be a bug. Anyone has some idea to fix it? Our hero Epsylon3 has been devoted him to porting ICS and I'm afraid he won't have much time to care CM7.

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?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
[Q] [Idea] Overclocked and have the "wake-up and screen stays black" problem?
I'm running CM6.1 and using Pershoot's kernel, and running at 1.5ghz, on-demand. Probably once a day, I have the issue where a call will come in, or I'll press the power button, or I'll slide out the keyboard, and the screen will stay black (though the backlight for the soft-keys does come on).
I noticed that I can appear to interact with the screen still (answer a call by swiping where the answer slider is, even though I can't see it), which indicates that it's simply the backlight not being turned on.
For others that have the same problem, the next time it happens, try pressing your camera button to open the camera application. For me, the screen comes right up as soon as the application opens (the camera application sets your backlight to high while in it). Anyone else?
I'm going to take a look at the wakeup code this afternoon, I have an idea for a _hacky_ fix that can be done.
I also wanted to confirm - do others have the same problem if not overclocked?
I've been getting that a lot too before (more than once a day for 2 weeks) until I got desperate and wipe/reflashed CM6.1.1 and I haven't seen it in the last 3 days.
I don't know anything so maybe its coincidental. My OC settings are the same as before. The only difference this time was i wipe/factory reset before flashing CM6.1.1.
instead of flashing CM6.1.1 on top of CM6.1 which was what i did 3 weeks ago.
What does your setcpu profiles look like? Set a profile for when you turn the screen off to set the cpu to 245/245. Then set a new one at xxx/806 conservative (xxx being the freq you desire)
Test it out and let me know how it works out.
PanCubano,
Others have suspected that it has to do with the CPU being at high speed the split second before you wake the device, and I agree that it's likely the problem.
Unfortunately it's quite hard to prove that the problem has gone away.
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
Anybody know any workarounds to the backlight issue with CM 7.1 stable?
It's getting pretty frustrating that I have to plug in my phone to a charger or USB slot in order to get the screen working again. I have tried previous members post about unlocking the screen when there is a black screen (performing the gesture without seeing what your doing), however this doesn't always work.
Has anyone else had any luck? It seemed as if this issue started to occur when I applied a GPS fix, but not 100% certain that is the root culprit.
This is not a permanent solution, but does help reduce the occurrences of the issue.
-Disable auto rotation
-Disable auto brightness
-Try a different lock screen. Some seem to be more pron-able than others...
I'm still having this issue too. Getting really annoying! The backlight will turn on MAYBE 50-60% of the time the first time I turn it on. The rest of the time, I have to turn the screen off and on again until the backlight comes on.
Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I searched and couldn't find something exactly like this...
Randomly one of 3 screen issues seems to be occuring on a daily basis:
1) Auto-Rotate stops working. Cannot get screen to rotate without reset (Yes, I've made sure auto-rotate is on in settings)
2) Screen will not Auto-Off. Even if I change settings to 15 secs, screen will not turn itself off. I have to manually turn it off. And, if I receive a text or any kind of notification it will light up again and stay on indefinitely.
3) Screen will not turn back on when trying to wake up device. Hitting the home button and power button both have no effect. Although the LED is usually blinking, and it seems the phone is still on.
For all 3 of the above issues, manually pulling out the battery and reseting the phone that way seems to always work. But, this is an annoying process to have to go through on a daily basis.
Also, I've noticed that these 3 symptoms don't occur simultaneously. For example, yesterday it wouldn't auto-off, but rotation would still work.
Not running any custom ROMs either
