Happened 2-3 times.
When I overdid my activities with phone and it went dark screen - I force rebooted it then at start grey triangle appeared with cross inside, just like traffic road crossing sign.
I pressed it once or twice and after a while system waked up.
I wonder what it could be.
Definitely sort of emergency mode was activated.
Is anyone familiar with such behavior ?

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.

same here.. it just stops working.. any fixes yet?
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,
Sebastian
Hi,
My phone's display goes completely white when I wake it up after being dormant. This started happening after I had the screen replaced and a full reset was done, but I am not certain if it is a software issue or a hardware issue.
The behaviour of the phone is as follows:
- Power ON: The phone powers up fine and boots up fine (display works as normal), and I can use the phone (call, text, play games, etc...)
- Now, when I let the phone go to sleep and then I wake it up, the screen goes from being completely off to being completely white. Kinda like one of those "flashlight apps" that don't use the flash...
- Same happens if I let the device go to sleep and a call comes in. In that case, the device wakes up as it rings, but the screen is completely white. If you know where the button to answer the call would be, you can actually answer the call though... So the screen is responsive, it just isnt displaying anything
So, I am looking to see if anyone has seen this in the past and what the cause may be. This happens with either the HTC ROM or Android.
FYI, the shop that did the screen replacement is not taking responsibility, so yes that sucks, etc... etc... No point discussing that.
HTC 10 updated to Android 7.0, not rooted
Yesterday my screen suddenly turned greenish/greyish: most red colors had disappeared. I rebooted several times, went into bootloader (where the upper lines were in deep red which means that this was probably not a hardware issue but it was my first time to look at the bootloader screen and I was not sure of the exact colors) before returning to Android but to no effect.
Changing the Color Profile did not help either.
I then began to fiddle with the developer's options: I did not actually change anything but the screen went back to normal. Scary.
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.
