This is the second time on 2 different roms that somehow my phone has been stuck with a black screen and when unlocked the screen stays off. Its a bit hard to explain but pressing power lets the screen to come on for just a second but then it goes off...yet on the black screen you can slide it unlocked (screen stays off) A reboot goes back to the same issue. after many button combos the screen will finally stay lit. The only way I have found to cure it is to uninstall lightflow. (Im really not sure thats what is causing it) If you dont change anything when you lock it your right back into the black screen thing..... Anyone seen this using lightflow or not??
I've had this problem to. I had it when I was using the phone on stock without lightflow, as well as using it with HD revolution and light flow. I have no idea why its doing this though?
I had this problem when I used the app "Wave Launcher". I found the most effective way to keep the screen on is to call the phone, stay in the call, and uninstall the app..

Are you running the 350 mhz idle mod or UVing? Seems like your phone isn't getting enough juice.
I emailed the dev's a few days ago. They came back with the response to uncheck "s6e8aa0 control", which I believe is disabling access to the main screen. I haven't seen the sleep of death since. He also said to look for a future update which removes this option.
Hope that this was a helpful first post!

I have the same problem today! When light flow is active the screen goes on for a second and then stays black.
Sadly I can't find "s6e8aa0 control" in the newest version. Can anyone help?
Got it working. I should use the correct settings^^
But the program is not working how I would like it :/

first i thought it was launcher pro's fault, but after changing launcher and rom release i'm pretty sure it's something else i haven't tracked down yet.
just after a reboot phone works as usual: screen lock runs after 30 seconds or by clicking the power button
after a while (days or even hours sometimes), the screen lock does not kick-in anymore: the screen just turns off and when you press the power button the phone is already unlocked.
i noticed that when the phone is in this "lock-bug" mode the notification led constantly shows a faint red light (you can barely notice it in the dark because it's really faint).
tested with:
launcher pro
go launcher
factory rom 2.21
blurless 2.34
I used to have the faint red light on after flashing a new rom.
It disapeared after I changed display setting to not automatic brightness.
It seems that the faint red light is the light sensor.
But I know nothing about your screen lock problem.
I have run into the same thing. I have not yet noticed the light, but I've had the screen lock stop working on my phone twice (I bought 3 phones 5 days ago for work). Like you, a simple reboot fixed the problem. I also tried toggling screen lock in the settings, and setting up a lock code, to see if the screen lock would start up. Both of my times, the first I noticed the issue was when I received a phone call and didn't have to swipe to answer, but that could have just been coincidence.
It isn't really a big deal for me or the employees, but it is a nuisance.
Happened to me as well, twice. First time it was just annoying that I had to reboot, second time it drained the s**t out of my battery in three hours.
So it's a bug allright.

Hi everyone!
I've installed Myn's Warm Donut and it works, but when i lock the phone with power button i have white screen! I've tried all panels! What can i do?
Thanks for the answer!
When you lock or when you turn the screen on again?
EVERY android kernel has a bug with screen wake up. If, in your case that happens, its perfectly normal, that white screen stays for like only a second and then android lock screen shows up. Press menu key and ur device will unlock. Sometimes that white screen stays, in that case just press Menu color again if that white screen still stays, you need to change the panel. Its impossible that white screen stays for infinite time. Mind to have a radio version greater than 1.65

Colours messed up?
white screen keeps there FOREVER?
Its time to change panel, try using Type 1 first, later try type 2 and type 3 is for exceptional cases
Every kaiser device has different panel type. Mine, HTC TyTn II KAIS130 has panel type 1 and another guy over here has same device he's using Panel 1 too. Warbyte has KAIS130 as well but he's using Panel 2. Its you who figure out that THIS panel is not working fine, lets try another. At maximum u understand it after two tries. And mostly you get a fine screen with fine colours in first try.
Only CHANGE panel if that white gibberish screen stays on for ever.

Disable Location feature, disable GPS Satellites, set Screen brightness to minimum. Keep Wifi off, disable Automatic sync, keep your memory clean and use a task manager, use 2G mode if you are not using 3G. Disable Data connection and enable it only when needed
I've got a problem with a OneX I'm trialling for work.
This is a stock device with the latest OTA update applied. I installed Good for Enterprise, activated it, and got my work emails. I opened a PDF attachment which opened for a couple of seconds then the display glitched.
The attached images show what I mean. The display is glitched for every screen. Soft resetting the phone was okay until it started again a couple of minutes later.
Soft resetting a 2nd time was where my real problems started. The phone vibrated as it started, but the display stayed dark. If I tap the power, the touch buttons light up. If I go through the motions of the lock ring and my gesture lock, I feel vibrations of my actions but can't see a thing. If I ring the phone, it rings, the touch buttons light up and the LED blinks. The display stays dark at all times.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? It's almost like when a graphic card overheats in a PC.
I would try a hard reset, see what that does, it should fix it as it looks like software problem
Squeeze your phone between thumb and forefinger (on the screen and rear cover) about 1.5-2cm in from the USB port, and slightly below. Let us know if the screen comes back on.

I think your phone is on drugs.
Seriously though, that's the scariest gfx bug I've seen on a phone.
Work were just as surprised as everyone else.
It's been sent back to them so they can talk with Vodafone about just what's happened with it.
In the few days I had it, it's a decent phone. The primary reason for considering the OneX is the screen size, and the fact you can read a PDF clearly on it.

Mine looks exactly the same once Ive had a few whisky's...
I had the exact same problem, so I shipped off my phone to service.
They actually changed the whole motherboard. I got my phone back 2 days ago, and it is working better than ever. Even better than before they changed the board.
My guess; Same problem as me. Busted motherboard. Im waiting to get a reply from the service guys that fixed my phone, so I can get some solid answers about what was actually wrong.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,

Hi,
I don't know what's going on with the screen of my one-v...
well I press lock button, so screen goes dark, but after a while it lights up for few seconds showing me lock screen... then it goes dark, and after few second it does it again.
after 2 times it stops, but it is annoying when you put phone on the desk, that it glows so you start to think about coming call or text.
what's going on?
lolsss..
haunted maybe

haha well hopefully not
I thought at beginning that it could be caused because of apz running in background but I have double checked - there are not any

have you tried factory resetting?
Are you using an app like Keep Screen?
My friend had a similar problem when she used the Keep Screen app.
Have you received an update?
Try using another locker like GO Locker or Magic Locker. Inform if it happens again.
strange thing, but it magically stopped happening
That may due to your brightness settings which is set to "Automatic" by default.
well it was too early for me to say that problem is gone... it happens again today ;/
I have fixed level of brightness, no apps except battery life working in background... all newest updates installed.
any ideas?
Has anyone else noticed that when in a dark area, pressing the main button will turn on the screen but it will then automatically and immidiately turn off?
Several times I've gotten into a battle with the phone only to lose, turning it on and it turns off, then turning it on again and so on...
To compound the issue, in these situations it seems that double tap is signifigantly less responsive to activate the screen as well.
I'm pretty sure this phone is using some sort of facial recognition, it has smart stay doesnt it? I think it has gravity/accelerometer to turn on the screen when you pull it out of your pocket. In the back of my mind I'm thinking that since it cant see me it is shutting off but this doesnt seem consistent...
I'm running stock rom, rooted with twrp. Any ideas?
I have not experienced that. Did your G3 do that out of the box?

Never heard of it. Screen is set to auto off in 30 seconds. Change it to 2 min and you should be good. If u running without a case then maybe the hand is touching the edges of screen this will also shut screen off in double tap.
BAD ASS G3

I didn't notice it until the last week or so. but I kind of feel like that was because I hadn't used the phone that much up until then. I didn't make any major changes to the phone immediately before I started noticing it either, I had already had it rooted for about a week. I feel like the stock rom does have some glitches to it.
The G3 does have a "smart screen" feature that detects your face (Settings > Display). Disable that and see if it helps.
I've not run into this in the dark but have when I try and use my arm band holder when running. The holder covers the ambient light sensor so the phone thinks it was accidentally turned on like in a pocket and shuts right off. Super annoying.
Noticed similar behavior when the phone is in my bike mount at night. Basically it's acting like the proximity sensor is covered. In my bike mount's case, it is covered by a clear screen cover, but normally that doesn't trigger the proximity sensor. But when it's very dark out (not under a street light etc.), it seems to think it's blocked and turns itself off. Annoying.

Tried but remains the same... This was the only thread I found concerning this.
Ive had this issue too investigating now
Had that issue when I was using the lock screen face unlock. In the dark it didn't see my face and then it shut off. Setting is in lock screen section

Lol.
I have the same issue EVERY night. Why is that? It's very annoying
Same issue here
it seemed to resolve itself when I factory reset my phone
but after I got my apps reinstalled from my google backup it started again
so it seems like it's a software issue - not sure to which app it is related to
let me know if you find a fix - this is quite annoying
Me too. I've been facing this issue at night, when it's very dark.
Me and my buddy were in the car during a roadtrip and it was very dark, I mean like: No lights outside, no lights inside the car, the double tap feature didn't even work to begin with and whenever I tried to use the "Power Button" It would come on and then suddenly 'boom' Turn off, now this would happen a few times until it stays on. Weird...
I just experienced this myself, first time I've seen it happen in the 30 + G5's that I've sold. If it's in the dark it just doesn't turn on at all. I hope LG is fixing this. I'm about to Factory Reset it right now and hope for the best! Someone else mentioned that this is the only forum that is disccusing this issue. It must be a very few that are effected. I'm testing another one as we speak.
Has this issue been resolved? My friend's G3 also has this issue. Day time no problem. When it is dark the screen wont' stay on.
Same problem, no fix yet
Same problem here - Pointing it at any light and pressing the power button will turn it on. (As will plugging it into power). Tried tinkering with all sorts of settings (face recognition/auto dimming feature/etc) nothing worked. Tried factory reset, that didn't work either.
My issue started after i had my screen replaced (by a shady shop) who probably didn't do a good job of packing it back together....I'm going to see if I can have someone open it up and clean it out a bit..
I have the same issue on my G3. Even if you're under the covers in bed, the thing doesn't turn on until it gets light. It basically doesn't turn on in the dark through double tap and actually not even with the power button. It could become a safety hazard for someone in an emergency situation.
