Stock ROM or custom? Any overclocking?
The phone powers up if you soft reset, correct?
Well, I found out it was a small problem with the rom.
It was a custom rom, and I just installed a different one and it works flawlessly.
With the other one, the light sensor did not work either.
Also, I dropped my phone the other day, and a really small spring fell out.
And the back plain on my screen is loose and opens up easily..
Which ROM?
I hate to hijack this thread but i am having the exact same problem. Basically when i put my phone to sleep its hit or mess as to if it will wake. It seems to have started when i flashed Energy ROM. It was terrible after that, so I switched back to the stock ROM available from the HTC website and all seemed well at first. Now its back to hit or miss.
I cant really rule out a hardware issue such as a broken sensor or something because I'm not sure how the mechanics of it work. When i push the power button on top the phone wakes but not the screen I know this because the 4 lights on the bottom light up and the keyboard as well. I can hit the button repeatedly but it doesnt help. At other times it works flawlessly, but usually does not.
Can anyone give me a suggestion as to what it could be, or a way to rule out a hardware issue?
Exactly my problem!
It was perfectly fine for the first day or so before it started crapping out again..
Can someone please help us with this problem?
It's mind consuming and it's making me worry.
Until TP3 is out, I won't get a new phone ):
Well, the problem is discussed in great detail on the internet, but no one can give a definitive answer. ..
I've been a touch pro 2 user for exactly 3 days... My new HD2 from T-Mobile is in the mail... This is a un acceptable flaw with no real solutiion... Good Luck TP2 users....
Good luck to you.
I've had mine for over two years and it was flawless
Just one recent drop determined everything
Although I Must say, it was one hell of a durable phone
Yea, dont get me wrong. I really like the phone. Thats why I'm getting the HD2. Great OS and big beautiful screen. I'm gonna miss the slide out keyboard but I think thats what breaks these phones.
I'm excited that there's the possibility of running Windows Mobile 7 on it.

I'd like to try to help. But you never answered my question of what ROM you are on (and which one you tried previously).
I've determined my problem is 100% hardware related. If I open my keyboard and then grab the screen and tweak it while pressing the power button it comes onn 100% of the time. Sux, but at least I know the cause now

Every once in a while my phone would turn on and I wouldn't know why
But yeah, I think it is hardware related.
I previously used Energy then went to Jacko's.
Both were perfectly fine, just the upsetting sleep function and light sensor would keep the phone off.
HELP: Same problem Phone not waking up
Hi saw this thread and was wondering if anyone can help me.
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 for some month now...
Using the following details:
OS Version: 5.2.21887 (21887.5.0.86)
ROM Version: 2.07..401.1 (80303) WWE
ROM date: 02/04/10
Radio ver: 4.49.25.91
stock ROM basically...
THe issue is that the phone doesn't wake or when using it just freezes/hangs.
Not much software/apps installed... and memory is good as well.
I just don't know what's going on...
Help please.
Thanks

I'd agree with the notion that its likely hardware related. I've flashed maybe 10 different builds of Energy over the last 7 months or so, and never once had and issue with the SOD (sleep of death) that I can recall. A bad flash can sometimes happen. But since you flashed another reputable ROM (Jackos), that somewhat eliminates the possibility that a bad flash is the culprit.
You can start from scratch, by running Task29 to format the ROM area of the phone's memory, and reflash the ROM. But this would be just to eliminate the possibility of a bad ROM flash. My gut says that you won't see any different results.
Running the phone "clean" for a while (to see if you still have the SOD) without any software installed or any other modifications will eliminate the possibility that any software or mods are responsible for the issue.
are you sure its hardware related? because my phone started doing this yesterday too...I had an energy rom from october, and it was really buggy. I am only able to keep my phone from sleeping when it is plugged in to some power, so i flashed the newest energy rom and still having the same problem...wont wake up from sleep
EDIT:
I dont see how this can be hardware related because everytime i soft-reset, the screen works again. this problem only happens when the device goes to sleep...
Any overclocking?
As I already mentioned, I never had any SODs on Energy that I can recall, except when using OCT (OverClocking Tool).
I have done no overclocking...I just flashed the newest energy rom like 15min ago...is there anything else I can do or check? it looks like the phone works still, just no backlight...
After flashing the ROM, maybe try running it "clean" for a day or two, don't install any software or do any mods, reg edits, etc. If you still have problems with the phone waking up with a new ROM, and no other software or other mods, than it may indicate a hardware problem.
And be sure to run Task29 before you flash the new ROM, if you don't already do that.
You guys should read the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648134
You're not the only ones (by any means) with the SOD issue. But it isn't at all clear what causes the issue. Lots of different theories in that thread about various software or ROMs, with no clear solution.
Lots of conflicting info, but some comments on the thread suggest (as I mentioned) that Task29 may help (certainly can't hurt).

Nope, definitely not sure, especially after reading the thread linked above. But as I suggested before, Task 29, try a different ROM, and run it clean with no software or mods, and start eliminating the variables.
Hi guys
i have a strange issue on my device,since stock ROM i guess, the problem is follows:
my screen just go black sometimes i thing it happend only when a call is in progress or when call is ended by the third part, the screen just stay black and no solution but uplug battery and start up the phone
i had this problem eaven on my stock Rom froyo 2.2, then i try leedroid 2.3 and it was ok i guess, then i try oxygen rc6 everything works superb,fast,clean,smooth but the black screen occures multiple times in one day (today around 3 times) so i was forced to return to my stock froyo 2.2 and hopes will be ok,
the problem is as i search thru internet... seems like one of the sensors works baddly, i think is the proximity sensor, what can i do? should i sent my device to repair? i realy appriciate any help and suggestions and ideas how can fix this problem....
still no solution it happens on stock froyo 2.2 too but in smaller period as on oxygen rc6, i try set --- display off to value 30 minute from previously 2 minutes and problem dont occured for last 2 days
this might seem like an ovbious answer but when your making a call the desire has a light/proximity sensor to the left of the top htc logo that turns the screen black when it senses something, this is to stop you pushing buttons with your ear.
i dont mean to insult your intelligence or anything, just saying ya know if it happens when not in a call it sounds like a software issue
i already know that, searchin a lot about this problem mate trust me, i also know when the proximity sensor is located and what is his function but the issue happening only when a call is made never happend just like that so i thing no sw prob, using stock froyo 2.2 now no root just a clean official and it happens like 2 times per day when i was calling more that 2 minutes when i set in setting--display to turn off screen in 10 minutes this problem dont show up soo i dont know realy maybe i sent my device to reklamation will see
This happens me with root and without root. It's when your using anything that has with the SD card to do with. Like the gallery, it has gone black for me to under a call though... I dont know how to fix this problem, and it's very frustrating to take out the battery all the time.
My friend i am working in mobiles but i couldn't guess the problem cause i bought my cousin this HTC desire until she removed the screen guard (( the plastic sticker for protect the screen)) from the screen and i solved the problem so easily.
Best of luck
true is that i am using Zagg shield, but this cannot solve the problem cuz i try few days without any screen protector and the problem was still there,
but i guess i solve this problem few months ago, i notice that the black screen after call happend when my network is set to "GSM only" strange but since i use WCDMA only the problem is gone, dont know surely but guessing, also when i use mobile network in gsm only mod, phone freezes totaly and only unplug battery helps, as i said since i am using wcdma/hsdpa/3g only non of these strange thing happens
hope this help for someone

Hi, guy!!
I've the same problem several months ago. Have you solved by using WCDMA only??
Thanks
Hi all,
This was happen to me last few day and i google whole world, finally i find my answer and i hope it was help for those who facing this kind of problem.
I can confirm this problem no related to rooted or without rooted phone. this problem definitely come from the proximity sensor which people highlighted this sensor located at top left of htc logo which u can see a blue color circle there.
Try watch this video of disassemble htc desire and you will find the way to clean this proximity sensor area.
Tools to use for dis-assembly:
1. Philips screw driver.
2. Torx screw driver
Cleaning tools:
1. a wet small cotton buds.
Hope this method can help.
Area to clean:
1. The proximity sensor which you will see covered by a black rubber
2. The casing area which i show on photo.

Problem: Cannot turn on the screen by pressing the power button sometimes. The screen is black or very dim, I cannot tell. One can see nothing on the screen, and it doesn’t accept any touch input, either. The phone still rings if there’s an incoming call. If this happens, the following several presses (about 10 - 20) on the power button will probably lead to a reboot. The “screen auto-rotate” and the proximity sensor may fail after the reboot, but will recover after a manual reboot.
Frequency: Fewer with higher Rom version. About once per day for 4.3.
Other description:
The problem frequently happens when I just take the phone outside my house/office, and seldom happens when the phone just stays somewhere.
The problem seems to be irrelevant to the remaining battery capacity or the uptime, but it never happens when charging.
The problem seems to be irrelevant to the Apps installed.
The problem seldom happens in the first 3-4 days after flashing a Rom, but happens more and more frequently as time goes by. My guess is some cache is stuffed by some trash, which causes the problem. The phone may be fine as long as the trash can be cleaned up on a regular basis.
I manually reboot my phone at most every two days.
Solutions tried, but don’t work
Flashing official ROMs 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2 and 4.3 following the procedure “adb reboot bootloader; fastboot oem unlock; flash-all; fastboot oem lock”, without google wallet, not rooted.
Turning off the auto-brightness control, as suggested by some post on the Internet.
Does it look like it goes to standby normally or does the screen show gibberish and then turns off?

Thank you very much.
I think it's standing-by normally even through the screen is black (or very dim, I cannot tell), since it rings if there's an incoming call. I can see nothing from the screen, and I don't think the screen accepts any touch input, either.
Does this answer your question? Thank you.

Was just asking if you had gibberish yes or no. In that case i've got a different issue than you (Suspecting f*cked GPU).
Have you tried a different ROM/Kernel combination maybe it's related to that.

No.
No, I just tried the official ROMs. Any suggestion?
Perhaps it's just busy in the background and running low on RAM. Give LagFix a try. Sorry can't link atm as I am on mobile...

I've also had this blank screen with calls still ring issue for as long as I can remember, nearly 2.5 yrs.
I've always suspected it's my ROM and so I'd try out another ROM'S, BUT no other ROM works like how I'd like, so I always come back to my ROM.
It doesn't happen every single day, but it does happen very often.
I've tried using apps that auto reboot daily, but eventually this blank screen issue will return.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find any solution, so I just put up with it, it's like the 1 only flaw with my ROM.
&
Not to be at all rude, but I'm really glad op has had this issue from testing other versions of Android, cause then at least I know I don't need to give up my great tablet mode ROM.
LOL
I think I've finally found a work around for this screen of death.
Using Exposed, download/install this module/extension:
Disable Proximity
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mrchandler.disableprox
It does exactly what it's name is and ever since then I've not once had to remove my GN battery to work again because the screen went completely dead.
NVM
Screen still goes dead.
Anyone find an actual fix to this?
isajoo,
I had pretty much the same problems with my Galaxy Nexus running CyanogenMod 11 M12.
It got better by doing the following :
Blowing dry air in the earpiece… though the proximity sensor is clearly beside it. Can't do any harm though, I guess.
Settings/Applications/All/menu/Reset applications preferences (or whatever that's called in english) : that seemed to do a lot of good to my phone ! However, it's a very unsatisfactory answer on a technical point of view, as I still don't know WHAT was precisely needed. It's a "magic wand" solution for which I can't give an explanation.
Not specifically related, but greatly helped my phone in the responsiveness area : Trimmer (fstrim) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fifthelement.trimmer), an updated version of LagFix that you may already know
Hope that helped !
(I wanted to try http://www.androidlegend.com/how-to-perform-proximity-sensor-calibration-on-any-samsung-phone/ as well, but apparently, /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal does not exist on my phone…)
hello everyone , so i use to have this bug back to kitkat also but it wasn't happening as often as it doesnt now that i have lollipop rom installed on my galaxy tab s T705 , the issue is with touch key lights which stays on even when i have them always off from settings , they act super weird when they are in that mode , they go off few sec after screen is off and if i shake the device they go on again as it looks like they are connected to accelerator sensor or something lolz ,the solution is super easy tho just hit the power saving on and then off again and they work normally again i heard some other ppl dealing with same issue but i wanted to know if there is a perma solution for it or not , im sure its a software issue but is there a way to fix it ?
Install a custom rom like cyanogen or something stock based.
I have the same problem. I usually have it set to turn the lights off after 6 seconds, but after a couple of days they don't work anymore. I would change the setting to off, then on, then back to 6 seconds, and it'll work again. After a few more days, they stop. I haven't seen a permanent fix for this.

Same for me. Would usually opt to have the buttons backlight always off, but randomly it starts actin like always on, although the settings remains 'always off'. Toggling the setting to anything else and back to always off fixes the problem temporeraly.
Im running stock swiss lollipop on my t700.
Yes, this is driving me nuts too! I hope they resolve this in the next update and soon!

Same problem with the lights on after a while even though set to always off. Seems to work properly under 1.5 sec setting option. I would love for the lights to be always off though.

Me too have the touch key settings to always off and found the same problem.
In my case I think it only happens when I plug the Tablet to AC.
Did this happen to anyone under another circumstances?
Thanks in adavance!

I have the same problem as everyone else, which I am very "happy" to hear because I am not the only one apparently dealing with it. I purchased the tablet a couple weeks ago and noticed that even though the setting for the touch key backlight is "always off", it goes on when I open the case, and sometimes goes on and off and goes weird. I contacted Samsung and they requested that I send in the tablet for repairs, so I did. At the same time, I contacted Amazon and they sent me another Tab S tablet. I have a month to return the other one so I figured I'll try this second one and see if I continue to have the same issues like the first one. Sure enough, I had the second tablet for less than a day and it's doing the exact same thing! So far the 1.5 second setting seems to keep the darn lights off. Sometimes doing a soft reset will fix the issue temporarily, but not permanently. If anyone figures out how to fix this, let us know! I'll be following this thread. I hope there's a software update to fix this.

I believe this is a software bug so all tab s running the 5.0.2 lollipop will have this issue.
And to reply to the other poster: The problem will occur after a while, the lights will just turn on and stay on when you wake the tablet. Changing the setting and choose Always Off will fix it but it will come back after a while.

Is there a way to get it back to the stock ROM? I'd rather avoid this light issue until an update to correct this comes out. Thoughts?

I heard that there's a new update available for the Tab S. (I already returned my tablet before my 30 days to get a full refund.) Did any one get the new update, and if so, did it fix the issues like this touch key light?
Hey,
I had this problem on the original KK software - upgraded to Lollipop a few days back and I still have the bug... in fact, it is even worse! Occurs more frequently than on LP.
I wouldn't mind leaving the lights on all the time, but they're so damn BRIGHT, and there's no way to adjust the backlight intensity!
Cheers,
Su
I found this solution on another forum...
If you enable smart stay, the touch key light duration will work properly.
Any further movement on this?. I've found that if I take my tab out of the book case the problem goes away. Seems like it's a bug with the case sensor.
No movement that I'm aware of. I'm really frustrated that there hasn't been a fix after all this time. I'm holding out hope that if there is ever an update to Marshmallow, that the issue will go away. Interesting observation about the case -I have a book case on mine. I'll remove it and see what happens...
Hey guys,
About 1 month ago the screen of my OP3 broke and I bought a replacement on eBay.
After the replacement I encountered problems, which only occured from time to time. Sometimes when waking up my device the screen stayed black.(Like on every 20th attempt it happened once). After pressing the power button some more times, the device finally unlocked. I am 100% sure that the device always unlocked on uneven attempts which means that the device at least woke up software-side.
I was totally sure that my replacement screen was kinda flawed and it is a not fixable hardware problem.
Then one week ago I switched from official LOS15.1 to the unofficial LOS16 rom and encountered big differences. The problem got noticebly worse. Waking up the device was a pain in the a**, it never worked on the first attempt on this rom. It's not unusual that it takes between 11 and up to 60 tries to wake up the device which makes it nearly impossible to use the phone. As before, the screen at least turns on software-side after every attempt. I can see this because the hardware buttons always light up.
Now after one week I switched back to official LOS15.1 and voilà, out of 20 attempts, the device instantly unlocked 19 times.
I know it is hard to understand and even to analyze such kind of problems, but there must be some solid solution for my problem.
Atm my clue is that original screens always offer more functions (e.g. gestures) than replacement lcd screens. Those functions are always connected to the software(rom). Is it possible that there is any other function (e.g. anything related to tap2wake or deepsleep) which is able to prevent my screen from turning on?
To deliver some more infos:
- I used standard system settings on both roms to test this out.
- "prevent" accitential wake up is turned off
- tried to disable gestures
- I tested my proximity sensor via an app, it seems to work flawless
- waking up screen in twrp is also very difficult and needs around 15-20 tries. Does anyone see any pattern?

You most likely got a bad part. OEM like One plus and xioami are known for using something called product binning. Which means their parts have a higher failure rate then other oems. They also dont make extra parts really so what you got was most likely just a generic screen like you can buy at any shop in China.
Nothing you can really do about it except try a different screen but to be honest I would get a different device and this time dont skip on the price. You get what you pay for and when a good device is cheap there is always a reason. (why do you think most of the owners and mods of XDA run Iphones as their daily drivers and leave android for a hobby)

As an experiment, try stock OOS and see whether the issue goes away.

Hey there again. I know my answer is kinda late but I wanted to share my experience. So I tried like 10 different custom ROMs with different Android version. The problem got even worse sometimes.
Anyway a few days ago I installed stock OOS and the problem is fixed now. I could not believe at first, but after excessive testing I am 100% sure now.
Anyone can tell why? Is the stock display driver proprietary?
TBH I always used to use custom ROMs (mostly CyanogenMod and now Lineage. Now on stock rom O feel like everything is better than ever before. Battery life, performance. Some features even offer more customization than custom ROMs.
I always thought the opposite is the case since custom roms advertise things like this. I will definitely stick with stock rom for now!

Thanks for the confirmation. The cheaper screens seem to have an issue which is not faced by the costlier ones. I have found while roaming the threads that sometimes flashing OOS helps. May be a driver issue.
My understanding from what I've read, third party displays needed kernel support.
I paid OP to replace mine - no problems.
Hi!
I'm having a similar issue with my Oneplus 5. Had my screen replaced (new one: OEM) and now it doesn't wake up most of the time either using power button or double tap or fingerprint scanner. I tried everything that I read on forums but nothing worked. Now I seem to have found a solution that I haven't read anywhere yet: I turned off night mode and now it's working as it should. Actually, whenever I want to use any screen adjustment feature like night mode, reading mode etc the screen doesn't wake up. But if I keep the default settings, there is no problem. The issue is definitely the new screen because before that I used night mode all the time (I mean after dark). Now I'm still thinking if I should return the phone to the repair shop and ask for another screen (they offer one year warranty after the repair) or just deal with it... I mean these OEM screen are cheap for a reason (as someone had written here before) and there is no guarantee that the next one will be good, and I don't feel like waiting weeks again for an uncertain outcome, also I can live without said features (gonna miss night mode tho'). Any suggestion? Should I give it a try? Maybe the repair shop made a mistake during assembly? Anyway, I hope this comment will be helpful for those lurking for a solution for a similar problem.

Did you try OOS?
OEM screen is not cheap (atleast compared to what is offerred online).
May be you are better off with what you have since you have found a work around. Who knows what you will get next time?
Yea I have same problem it works totally fine on oos but on custom roms it is ****ed up

Thank you also for confirming that on OOS there is no issue. Looks like the cheaper of the online replacements have this issue while the costlier ones don't.
Funniest thing is I have a slim ROM backup on 7.1. and that works fine so like what the f--- any ideas people?

Hey guys,
About 1 month ago the screen of my OP3 broke and I bought a replacement on eBay.
After the replacement I encountered problems, which only occured from time to time. Sometimes when waking up my device the screen stayed black.(Like on every 20th attempt it happened once). After pressing the power button some more times, the device finally unlocked. I am 100% sure that the device always unlocked on uneven attempts which means that the device at least woke up software-side.
I was totally sure that my replacement screen was kinda flawed and it is a not fixable hardware problem.
Then one week ago I switched from official LOS15.1 to the unofficial LOS16 rom and encountered big differences. The problem got noticebly worse. Waking up the device was a pain in the a**, it never worked on the first attempt on this rom. It's not unusual that it takes between 11 and up to 60 tries to wake up the device which makes it nearly impossible to use the phone. As before, the screen at least turns on software-side after every attempt. I can see this because the hardware buttons always light up.
Now after one week I switched back to official LOS15.1 and voilà, out of 20 attempts, the device instantly unlocked 19 times.
I know it is hard to understand and even to analyze such kind of problems, but there must be some solid solution for my problem.
Atm my clue is that original screens always offer more functions (e.g. gestures) than replacement lcd screens. Those functions are always connected to the software(rom). Is it possible that there is any other function (e.g. anything related to tap2wake or deepsleep) which is able to prevent my screen from turning on?
To deliver some more infos:
- I used standard system settings on both roms to test this out.
- "prevent" accitential wake up is turned off
- tried to disable gestures
- I tested my proximity sensor via an app, it seems to work flawless
- waking up screen in twrp is also very difficult and needs around 15-20 tries. Does anyone see any pattern?

Yes, I have the same issue and I wanted to revert back to Stock OOS, but I just tried Caesium latest kernel, and the display wakeup issue seems to have gone. I'm using Havoc OS 2.3 based on Android Pie.
Guys the latest mad kernal reborn it wakes up all the time
At least for my screen
It used to be worse on all the other kernals
Finally found a solution
I had same problem on custom roms after replacement of display of my oneplus3...i was on oos 5.0.8 i had no issues in that but am a custom rom user and now the solution is flash any rom clean flash not dirty flash and flash gapps then flash any module if you want like magisk and then reboot setup the device and after first boot flash mcd custom kernel and yippeee enjoy... Present am on havoc os with no issues... Try and let me know...
