Phone not waking up properly - HTC One X

Hi,
I update my htc one x to the jelly bean update yesterday. I have been on stock all this while and updated to the official ota. I have not installed any roms yet or unlocked the phone. Since i updated i seem to be having a strange problem. When the phone goes to sleep for prolonged periods, and i try to turn it on, the screen remains black. The light for the buttons turn on and there is light at the btm of the screen but the screen stays black. It has happened twice and the only way to solve it is to reboot the phone. i can hear messages and calls coming but the screen remain black. I am wondering is this a "feature of the phone" or is there any settings i should change? Or is there any solutions to this problem.

BUG: screen lock does not kick in

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.

Wildfire S - blank screen bug?

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

Screen on issues using Lightflow?

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 :/

[Q] Variety of strange screen issues occuring

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

Disable night mode

Hello, i have a problem
Google play books suggested to enable night mode, and took me to the settings to activate night mode.
I did it, but now i want to disable it.
The problem is that it was android night mode, not samsung's blue light mode that changed.
So i can't access the android settings to disable night mode, anyone knows how i can disable it?

Help!
I bought the Samsung Galaxy s9+ when it first came out. Ever since, I've had a yellow tint issue with it. When I unlock my phone, it will be yellow in a corner then as soon as I touch the screen, the whole thing turns yellow. When the system updates come out, it's fixed until my battery dies or the phone is powered off. As soon as I turn it back on, then yellow tint crap happens again.
I have tried restarting, booting into safe mode, wipeing the catches, turning blue light filter on and off, turning auto brightness off, messing with the colors.... nothing ive tried works except for a system update which is really inconvenient when there isn't a new update available. What else can I do? Also, I don't have Google play books installed.
